Lond Agency Seeks
To Shorten Delay
In S.W. Program

Means of avoiding a possible
six months delay in adoption of
Southwest redevelopment plans
under new Federal Housing Ad-
ministration policies are being
sought by Redevelopment Land
Agency officials.
The land agency is working
with the Housing and Home
Finance Agency to solve a prob
lem presented by a new require
ment for a complete loan and
grant application along with a
locally approved plan before
HHFA will pass on a project.
Since approval of the plan by
the National Capital Planning
Commission and the District
Commissioners is an involved
process including a public hear
ing, the land agency had hoped
for at least informal approval
of the plan by HHFA before it
is adopted by local authorities.
The housing agency is to pay
two-thirds of the net project
cost. The city pays the other
third in cash or public works.
Land Agency Director John R.
Searles. jr.. has been advised
that HHFA cannot make any
commitments, even tentative, on
the rebuilding plan until it has
complete cost data,

AS I am constantly saying.
l am firmly convinced that the
ability mentally to step into
another's shoes is important
If not essential for the per-
petuation Of the human race.
But I've never had the
slightest insight into the emo

known, though this has in no
way impaired my appreciation
of pigs. And fond as ! am OF
the petunia, / have never felt
privy to its yearnings, If any.
So I'd certainly not qualify
to work on the farm of one
of our eminent agriculture
alists, a fellow who goes in
for fancy experimentations
such as making his own anti
biotics and organic fertilizers
and who remarked in passing
the other day that each Of
his workers has to be able to
imagine himself a sheep. COW,

that a hand who can't under
