Snags on 6. 0.P. Plan
10 Scrutinize Subject
BY the Assoeiossd Press

The American public school
youngster and his future at
tracted a lot Of attention in
Washington last week.
The big decision, to be sure,
was that Of the Supreme Court
outlawing segregation Of Negro
and white school children.
Less publicized-but regarded
as Of great significance by many
educatorS-waS a hearing about
to finish in a room in the Capitol
just a few hundred yards away.
from the court.
Issue Is u. s. Aid.
This proceeding concerned
several proposals to supply Fed
eral money to help all the States
build more public schools-$1OO
million a year at first.
AS the hearing has developed
under the Craftsmanship Of SEN
ator Cooper, Republican, of Ken
lucky, everyone has conceded
that crowded classrooms pose a
national problem.
One witness, to illustrate the
need, put it this way:
Present day needed space
would equal a single story struc-
ture so feet wide. extending
from the Statue of Liberty to
the Golden Gate Bridge"
The estimated cost Of this new
construction Is SO to $12 billion.
Nevertheless, Senator Cooper
admittedly has . difficult job in
his determination to see q Fed
eral aid bill passed.
His chief problems derive
from: ID A desire on the part
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton to hold further studies be-
fore acting and (2) potential op-
position from some Southern
Senators who. Senator Cooper
comedies, might object to a bill
failing to grant Federal aid for
segregated school systems.
Mrs. Hobby Opposes Aid.
On the first point. Welfare
Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby
started the hearing of with a
letter opposing Federal aid to
school construction now.

Second. From that point, the
freeway would split in two direc-
tions. One would give access to
and from South Capitol street,
with an elevated road for west
bound traffic to the freeway. The
other would route two-way traf-
f1c northward and under Penn
sylvania Railroad tracks to
Delaware avenue and E street
S.W.
Plans to start construction at
the eastern end Of the freeway,
MIR. Robertson said. dove-tail
with progress on Area B, the 76-
acre pilot project in Southwest
redevelopment. The freeway cuts
directly through the B area from
South Capitol to Fourth streets
and is one of its major planning
features. ~
In addition to the freeway
construction money, other high
way funds in the amended budg-
ct requests sent to Congress last
week include:
1. $175.000 for planning and
$1,524:O00 for condemnation Of
land on the south side of Florida
avenue between Sixth street NE.
and r street NV. The Florida
avenue Improvement is part Of
the inner-belt road system
around the central business dis
trict, of which the Southwest
freeway will be the southern leg.
2. $444,0 for new street
lighting on a number of major
streets are East Capitol between
Nineteenth and the District line.
Kenilworth avenue between East
Capitol and the District line,
New Hampshire avenue between
Grant Circle and the District
line. Nebraska avenue between
Ward and Tenley Circles. Mas
sachusetts avenue between Ward
Circle and Wisconsin avenue.
and Michigan avenue between
Taylor street and the District
line.
+ 3. 100000 to plan a new Po-
tomac River bridge. The bridge
request does not refer to any
specific span. In the event Con-
gress approves neither the E
street-backed by highway off,
cials-nor the Reaches Run
bridge-backed by Federal plan
ners-the Highway Department
proposes the money be available
for improvements to existing
bridges. This alternate recon-
mendation includes replacement
of the old trestle-t topped Four
teenth street bridge.
Part Of the money. as noted
above, also would be used to
plan connections from the WASH
ington channel bridge and
Southwest freeway in the Four
teenth street area.

Reaches Run span, the freeway
would have to be widened to
eight lanes to handle increased
traffic feeding directly from the
bridge. If Congress rejects the
span, highway officials have
agreed to provide a wide right
-of-way in case the bridge is
authorized later.
In any event. Mr.. Robertson
noted, detailed planning can't
start until the House group acts.
The Tenth street problem is a
tougher one. While highway
engineers are convinced an
agreeable design can be drawn.
the trick will be to find a solution
that won't cost too much money.
Mr.. Robertson said the prob
lem will be tackled Tuesday, at
a meeting with w. Earl Andrews.
a private highway consultant
hired by the New York firm of
Webb and Knapp. The firm is
drawing up a proposal for rede-
Veloping the southwest.
Mr.. Robertson has had $400,-
900 available to plan the freeway
(including 100000 in Federal
add since last July /. In the
budget for the next fiscal year.
he is asking for money to plan
connections in the complex Ohio
drive-Fourteenth street bridge
network area.
Freeway Plans Described.
In the absence of detailed
plans, here are the general char
acteristics of the proposed free
way:
At its western link to the new
channel bridge, the freeway
would connect directly to Tenth
street. Eastward, it would move
underground to Sixth street,
swing upward on an elevated
structure over Fourth and Third
streets and come to grade. at

would Offset the factors which
now weigh heavily in favor Of
the Communists: the new punch
supplied by Chinese equipment.
the decentralization Of the Wet
Namese army and the present
French strategy of scattering its
force in small isolated garrisons.
which invite piecemeal destruc-
ton by the Communist force.
On the face Of it, it seems
clear that Gen. Ely's plan is not
a blueprint for winning the war
in Indo- China. It is rather q
new cork for the bottle-a way
to stabilize the military situation
and perhaps make a negotiated
peace possible. Even more i'm
portant. it would allow the West
a little breathing time to find
the elusive formula for a col
lective defense in Southeast Asia
before the frontline caves in.
There is little question that
France-given a virtual blank
check on American aid-could
supply, these physical require
ments for a continued defense.
1t might mean stripping the
homeland and Germany of the
remaining regular troops. It
might mean that some draftees-
at this point barred by law from
service in Indo-C China-would
have to be sent. It would call for
new outlays of money and new
raids on the military stockpile.
But it could be done.
Issue Up to Assembly.
Unfortunately, however, the
question of whether or not it will
be done doesn't rest with Gen.
Ely. Neither does 1t rest ulti-
mately with members of the pres
ent French government nor the
French Security Council to which
the General will be making his
pitch. In the final analysis the
question of continued French re-
siStance in Indo-C China depends
on the will and courage of the
majority of the 624 deputies in

To Send Troops to Indo-C China

the National Assembly. And Il
is this fact that leads to such
gloomy predictions about the
future Of the Indo-C Chinese war.
There are. Of course. q large
number Of Frenchmen In favor
of taking the steps that Gen.
Ely is expected to demand.
They include many honest peo-
pie who feel that France cannot
walk out on her commitments
in Indo-C China and many others
who, at all cost, want to avoid
the risk Of q general conflict
that American Intervention
would. entail. Even among those
who call most loudly for nego-
tiated peace In Indo- China
there are many who would
warmly support whatever meas
ures might be necessary to pre-
vent a collapse Of military re.
sistance.
1t goes without saying, how
ever, that there are many other
Frenchmen who are not pre-.
pared to accept so drastic o rem
edy to the Indo- Chinese prob
lem. The main stumbling block
of the plan is that it calls for
faith and determination and will
to sacrifice at q time when these
commodities are in critically
short supply in France.
Tough Military Opposition.
Even from a purely military
point of view Gen. Ely can ex-
pect tough opposition to his pro-
posals. He will be bucking q
widespread conviction among
government leaders that. bar
ring American Intervention the
military situation in Northern
do-China is already hopeless
and that arrival of reinforce
ments too little and too late
would only complicate the prob
lem.
The shadow Of the experience
at Dien Bien Phu falls darkly
on the present picture. Frances
civilian leaders are under bitter
political attack today because
they followed the advice of mill.

Indo- China in the same light.
What good will it do they ask.
to pour the last French reserves
into the delta If it turns out
that this stronghold also Is un.
tenable in the face of q deter
mined Communist attack?
Already these pessimists are
seriously concerned about the
problem OF extricating an expe.
dictionary force from the delta
region. Admittedly fighting
evacuation, if it became neces-
sary, would be a nightmarish
operation. Why increase the
inevitable losses by futile last
minute efforts?
Perhaps Gen. Ely has the an
swers to reassure his critics and
put his plan into operation. II
so. it could mean reprieve
from disaster and one more
chance for the cause Of free
dom In Indo-China. But time
is desperately short and any in
decision In Paris would be fatal.

American cities, has been facing
serious problems. Some Of the
principal problems are:
"(1), The move to the suburbs
Of a sizeable proportion Of the
population.
"(2) A highway and parking
system that Is inadequate to
enable our growing population
to make full use Of the valuable
services provided by the central
city area.
"(3) The spread Of slums and
blighted areas in sections close
to the downtown center.
"(4 A backlog Of capital
works. I'm Washington a sig
nificant start has been made on
this through the Public Works
Proeram.)
There are no simple answers
to these complicated problems.
However, 1t is possible to meet
these problems If they are at
tackled intelligently and consist
emily. This requires not only the
vigilant attention of Government
officials but also an enlightened
participation by private, citizens.
Pittsburgh an Example.
"There is an outstanding ex-
ample of what an informed citi-
zenry can do in helping munich
pal officials meet these problems.
That has been shown by Pitts
burgh. There the Allegheny
Conference, an organization of
private citizens. has played a
major role in the rebirtl1 Of Pitts
burgh over the last II years.
"The problems which confront
Washington are Of the utmost
gravity. But they are no more
serious than those which faced
Pittsburgh In 1913.
I'VE ane Of the belief that a
citizens committee, If properly
organized and operated. can play
an important role in helping our
city. Proper organization and an
intelligent definition Of its aims
and purposes will take time. But.
given time, it should be possible
for such an organization to pro-
vide major assistance in making
Washington a better and better
community for all its residents.
"As a result we have estab-
lished an Interim Committee to
develop the complete organiza-
ton of citizens committee and
to define its purposes. We have
retained as a staff director, Mr..
G. Yates Cook. Mr.. Cook, who
has been serving as director. De-
partment Of Housing Rehabiita-
ton, National Association Of
Home Builders, will assume his
duties during July. It is hoped
the Committee will be fully Or
ganized by early September.
Purpose is Explained.
"In order to clarity our present
intentions we add the following
comments:
"(ly Our central purpose Is to
try to support intelligent efforts
to improve trafic. parking. hous-
ing and To meet other related
problems which impede the city's
progress.
"(2) We view the citizens
committee as a supplement to.
and not a duplication Of, exist
ing civic organizations. The COM
mittee's staff will consist only
of Mr.. Cook and clerical assist
ants. It can be effective only If
it can work in harmony and CO.
ordination with other community
organizations.
"(3) Although Mr.. Cooks prin-
cipal contribution has been in
connection with housing reha-
bilitation (the so-called "Balti-
more Plan"), in/his present po-
sition he will not specialize in
that field, but will act to keep
the committee informed Of the
