Capitol Hill Residents
Would Block Further
Public Housing There

Residents OF the Capitol Hill
area today requested the Com
missioners to block any further
public housing in that section
so restoration of homes there
can continue.
The group, mostly from the
Capitol Hill Southeast Citizens
Association, opposed extension
of the present Carrollsburg
Dwellings, near Second street
and Virginia avenue Sc.
The National Capital Housing
authority plans to construct 600
more dwelling units there.
Taken Under Amusement.
The city heads took the matter
under advisement after listen-
ing to the objections.
Actually the Commissioners
some years ago approved the
general area for public housing.
What is at issue now is further
approval of the definite site
needed for expansion Of the
project already located there.
Charles Gum, president of the
association, said the restoration
program started in 1949. He de-
clared:
Hundreds of homes have been
restored from slum-type dwell
ings to fine homes. The program
is continuing at a terrifically
rapid pace In few years we
will pass Georgetown and it's all
being done with private capital"
See Theat to Restoration.
Mr.. Gum, and all the others
who appeared, made the point
that additional public housing
in the area would hamper and
possibly halt this private resto-
ration of the old homes in the
Capitol Hill area.
Howe Cochran, 101 Carroll
street Sc, declared there was no
Justification for moving more Of
the city's low income group into
an area which is on its way to

Corning Says Delay
In Segregation Ruling
Comp|icates Problem

The longer a Supreme Court
decision on school segregation
is delayed, the harder it will be
to accomplish required change
over promptly, School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning said today.
He told a press conference
that the longer the delay, the
more complicated the whole
thing can become, land the
possibility of realizing a change
promptly by the beginning of
school next year is more remote" "
DR.. Corning said that plans
will be prepared, but the me-
chapcis Of assignment present
difficulties since it is not known
what type of decision the court
will make.
Cards Processed.
In case of a decision to abolish
the segregated school system, the
existing school boundaries would
have no meaning. The Superin-
tendent said that residence cards
of all school children are now
being processed to yield informa-
ton on all children enrolled in
schools by city block.
The tabulation will show what
schools they last attended and
their grade level. This will show
within a given block or group of
blocks the exact number of chill
dren who would be in a certain
grade. This is by way of prep
aration for a change In the pres
ent dual system.
A changeover also would abol-
ish the need for duplicate Off
GERS, so a good deal of work
would be required with respect
to the assignment of teachers
and officers.
Problems Would Still Exist.
Should the system be left as it
is now under the decision, school
authorities would have to con-
tinue their efforts to take care Of
the rapidly growing Negro popu-
lation and existing unsolved
problems still would have to be
faced,
There are now some $4,000
more Negro students than white
in the District schools.
DR.. Corning expects to report
next Wednesday to the Buildings
and Grounds Committee on
transfer of a school to relieve
overcrowding at the colored Park
View, Bruce and Monroe Schools.
Last month the board voted
down for the present DR.. Corn
ing's proposal to transfer the
Petworth School to Negro pupils.
Board members asked him to
suggest an alternative-possibly
a transfer of Raymond School.

Planners 10 Discuss
Routes Between New
Bridge and Capitol

The National Capital Plan
ming Commission today was to
consider latest plans for han
ding rush-hour traffic between
the Capitol and the new East
Capitol street bridge.
The bridge, under construction
now, is scheduled to be open in
the fall of 1855.
Plans originally released by
highway officials showed one
way eastbound traffic from the
Capitol using Independence ave-
nue. to the bridge. Traffic COM
ing from the bridge would have
used C street, North Carolina
avenue and Constitution avenue
one-way.
The revised plans, worked out
jointly by highway and planning
technicians, also use other streets
in a pattern designed to cut out
as much street widening and new
construction as possible. Plan
ming Commission spokesmen said
the new proposals, which involve
some use of the Capitol grounds,
will be discussed in open session
by the planners tomorrow.
Other Matters Up.
All deliberations today were
to be closed. MATTERS coming
before the group in executive
session today, besides the bridge
approaches, include:
l. A report on talks held by
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
District Engineer Commissioner,
and Planning Commission Har-
land Bartholomew on attempts
to end conflicts in highway pro-
posals of the two groups.
2. Additional statements the
commission has decided to give
Congress on the proposed
Reaches Run bridge. The state
ments deal with reasons for
conflicts in cost estimates for
the bridge, drawn up by the
planners and highway officials.
The majority of the open
meeting tomorrow will be taken
up by four separate phases Of
slum clearance and redevelop-
ment in Southwest Washington.
New Boundaries Sought.
The most important will be
request by the District Rede-
velopment Land Agency that
the planners adopt new boun-
diaries for a second redevelop-
ment project to encompass
virtually the entire Southwest
area. The first project. in
which land acquisition already
has started, is the so-called
Area B, a 76-acre area, bounded
by Fourth. E. I and South Cap
itol streets.
AS a second project, the plan
ners have adopted boundaries of
an area just south and west Of
Area B. Under the revision, the
new project could cover nearly
all the territory south of Inde-
pendence avenue between South
Capitol and Twelfth streets S.W.
Would Fit Big Project.
This would enable preliminary
planning to fit in with proposals
by the New York firm of Webb
& Knapp for a multi-million-
dollar residential, business and
cultural development. The New
York idea will be under study
for about a year before definite
proposals are made.
The other Southwest matters
will include:
/. A report to the planners on
final design and land-use plans
for Area B.
2. A discussion of the avail
ability of preliminary planning
funds for the commission in
connection with the second
project.
3. A report on possibility Of q
conference between the plan
ners and the Webb & Knapp
officials in New York.

TURKEYS-Growers intend to
raise per cent more large-type
turkeys and per cent more small
type birds than in 1858. The industry
advisory committee recommends no
increase in the large type and no
more small turkeys than can be
sold profitably in regular CONNER
cial channels.
POTATOES-Only minor price
upturns of 10 to Is per cent cwt.
are likely during the rest of the
season. January l stocks were 1902
million bushels against 1885 million
bushels year previous which
proved to be greater than require
ments. However, prices are already
quite low.
The winter crop is expected to
be about million bushels less than
last year and prospective acreage
for the spring crop will be about
one-fifth less than last year. Hence,
prices are unlikely to break much
below present levels. Congress is
considering authorizing purchases
for the school-lunch program. Free
selling on small rallies appears adj
visable.
HONEY-Demand and prices have
varied in different sections, but
changes in quotations have been
mostly downward. Sales by bee
keepers of extracted hght-colored
table honey in 60-lb. cans ranged
largely 10-1212 cents per Id. Lower
qualities were LIZ cents lower.
Beeswax sales were at 40-44 cents
lighter colors and 37-42 cents for
darker grades.

81 million DuSIlSlS VI IllOAC Il1oh
double the amount used in January
June last year. However, impound-
ing in the support program by jan
uary 81 probably was great enough
to cause some tightness in free"
stocks.
SEEDS-Prices for hay and pas
ture seeds will be steady to higher
until the bulk of spring planting
needs have been filled. Alfalfa and
clover seed supplies are well above
the amounts used last season, but
timothy, bluegrass, ryegrass and
lespedeza supplies are short. Stocks
of improved varieties of alfalfa and
red clover are more plentiful than
last season. Low prices and drouth
injury to previous seedlings will
tend to increase usage. Low prices
may lead to cuts in seed production
in 1854
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices for
fluid milk will continue to work
lower during the seasonal increase
in the milk flow. Manufactured prod
ucts will remain at support levels. In
mid-January the government was
obliged to buy over one-fourth of
the butter and cheese output to
support prices. Production will in
crease over a third from January to
the June peak.
Milk production in 1853 was about
five billion pounds greater than in
1852 but total disappearance was
only about the same in spite of the
school-lunch program and other
special measures to stimulate con-
sumption. Agriculture Secretary
Benson has indicated doubt that
price support can be continued at
80 per cent of parity after March
81. The law requires support at
such level between rs and 80 per
cent of parity as the Secretary
''deems necessary to assure an ade-
quate supply"
EGGS-Prices are likely to work
somewhat lower in the next month
or six weeks, but will average near
ly as high as a year previous. Pro-
duction will increase another 10 to
20 per cent before reaching the
spring peak. Active buying by
breakers because of the shortage
of frozen eggs, greater hatchery de.
mand than year ago and larger
consumption as prices decline will
prevent any extreme price drop
Shell egg storage buying will sup
port prices at moderately lower lev
els. Returns over feed cost are like
ly to continue high.
cHICKENS-Prices probably will
strengthen slightly in the next tw,
months because of the seasonal
drop in total meat supplies, Market
ing of hens will be light during tn
heavy laying season. Broiler sup
plies will continue heavy through
March, however, as broiler chic
placements showed but little drol
up to early January.
