Mop Showing Proposed Southwest Lond
Use Areas. Poge B.
Commission late today, closely
follows land uses the Zeckendorf
firm of Webb and Knapp pro-
posed in tentative "schematic
drawings" a year ago.
But such map must be ap-
proved by the planners and Ger
tilted to the District Commits
sioners. If. after a public hear
ing, the city heads approve. it
becomes the official blueprint for
redevelopment designating
blocks for apartments. row
houses. Office buildings and
other uses.
Basis for Discussions
What Webb g. Knapp pro-
posed today was that the COM
mission use its plan as the basis
for discussions with other agen-
cies, leading toward eventual
adoption of the official plan.
Stanley Sherman, Webb &
Knapp architect, who will be
permanently assigned to Wash
ington May 16 to work with the
planners. said the new plan also
closely follows Planning Com
mission proposals for the way it
would like to see the rebuilt area
look.
The zeckendorf plan proposes
two major differences:
l.. A proposed 30O-foot- wide
South Mall. extending along
Tenth street S.W. from indie
pendence avenue to the water
front.
2. Federal office buildings and
private office space and first
commercial business uses bor-
dering the north end of the
Mall. The planners had marked
this area generally for light in
dustrial development.
Key Problem on Space
A key problem to be ironed
out is the extent of Federal en-
ployes' space the planners want
in the Southwest.
The plan proposes 1,527 row
houses, about 1000 walkup
apartments and 1890 units in
eight and nine story elevator
apartments. The high-rise
apartments are scattered in six
different blocks dispersed among
other residences.
The residences are grouped
around a town center" provid-
ing shopping facilities they re-
quire. Off-street parking and
recreation and park areas also
are provided.
CHA Site on Agenda
The planners have tentatively
approved a new highway system
that would make possible the
South Mall" But they have
not yet taken a position on the
mall itself or on the commercial
development bordering it.
In addition to the Southwest,
on today's agenda of the plan
ners the National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council submits
its recommendations on a loca-
ton for the Central Intelligence
Agency headquarters building.

Conant Pleased
DR.. Conant said:
''All of us are gladly giving up
our responsibilities and our au-
thority. and rejoice in the fact
that the federal republic of
Germany is being welcomed into
the family Of sovereign nations"
Mr.. Adenauer with his cabinet
were to go before the Bundestag

announce formally that the West
German republic had become
sovereign. The chancellor also
scheduled a nationwide broad

In the final ceremony, Sir

BY ihe Assoeiuied Press

NEW YORK, Feb. l9.-One OF
the city's greatest manhunts
failed today to find heavily
armed August Robles. Al, near
sighted gunman who eluded three
police traps yesterday.
More than 100 detectives were
assigned to track down the
fugitive.
Police suspect Robles of being
the triggerman in the Brooklyn
gangstyle shooting Tuesday of
Joseph Aronowitz, 40, former
convict who was scheduled to
turn states evidence in a Balti-
more robbery case.
Photographs of Robles were
issued to the more than 10000
members of the uniformed police

Fifty police swarmed into the
125th Street station Of the Lex

They pulled frem the train a
bewiidered Puerto Rican who
bore a superficial resemblance to
Robles. but freed him quickly
when they realized he was not

School Aid Bill Critics
Flaily Contradieied
By Health Officials
BY II. A..oeias.d Pres. !.

The Eisenhower administra-
ton yesterday sought to bolster
its embattled school aid program
with q letter to Senator H. Alex
ander Smith, Republican. Of New
Jersey. fiatly contradicting one
of the major criticisms aimed
at it.
The letter, from the Depart
ment Of Health. Education and
Welfare. declares that direct
Federal aid to needy school dis
tricts could be available. with
out setting up State school,
building agencies or authorities,
in any case where the needy
district had not reached its legal
loan or bonding limit.
Meanwhile, reports that Mrs.
Oveta Cup Hobby. Welfare sec
retary, or other department on
cials were prepared to modify
the Eisenhower program were
discounted by administration Of
ficialS.
Educators Attack Program.
There was no indication yes
terday Of any further testimony
from the administration seek
ing to meet an attack on the
program by professional educa-
tors testifying before the Senate
Labor Committee.
Critics have testified that no
direct Federal grants could be
made under the program to a
needy school district in q State
which had not established a
school-building agency.
Only four States have such
agencies today. The Senate COM
mittee has been told that some
States could not set up building
agencies under their constitu-
tions and that at best long court
delays would be inevitable before
any Of the proposed three-year
5000 million direct aid money
could be received.
Senator Smith told a reporter
he expected Mrs. Hobby's de-
partment to reply this week to
mounting criticism of the pro-
gram, Senator Smith is the
senior Republican on the LABOR
committee now holding hearings
on the Eisenhower measure,
which Senator Smith sponsored
in the Senate.
Would Cut School Bond Rate.
AS for his own feelings toward
the Eisenhower measure, Senator
Smith said he sees mo reason
why it is immune to changes"
He indicated he would favor
lowering the interest rate on
school district bonds which would
be purchased by the Federal
Government. The measure fixes
this rate at 31s per cent.
Senator Douglas. Democrat, of
Illinois, a committee member,
said the Eisenhower program
was written by investment
bankers, not educators, and its
effect would seem to be an inten-
ton to get hard-pressed locali-
ties more heavily in debt"
Most educators have testified
they favor a straight gra11ts-in-
aid program Of at least a half |
billion dollars Of federal money
a year. to be matched by the
States.

The Air Force has hired a
New York accounting arm to
check its estimates that 1t costs
$122,340 to train a F-94C jet
fighter pilot.
Air Secretary Talbot has used
the figures to illustrate the COM
plexity Of today's aircraft and
the difficulty Of training pilots
for them.
Members of Congress have
questioned the estimates. Rep
resentive Skies, Democrat. of
Florida. did SO only last week
during House Appropriations
Committee hearings.
Mr.. Talbot explained the esti-
mates represent an over all, pro
rata figure. He went on to say
that new effort to break down
training costs was under way and
that Price Waterhouse and Co.
of New York had undertaken
the task.

miles and can climb to above
$1,000 feet. It is becoming the
backbone of this country's air
defense fleet. To train a second
lieutenant to fly the Starflre re-
quires 10 months to two years.
In figuring the training costs
the department allows an aver
age of $50. .460 for attrition or
aircraft replacement. This figure
would come no where near buy
ing any Of the several planes the
pilot uses during the training
cycle Nor does the Air Force
figure every pilot will crack UP
a plane.
"It'S just an average that our
experience has shown is about
right" an official explained.

Similarly. $3.50 is allotted to
what is called command costs, I"
which covers q multitude Of ex-
penses such as pay for the stu
dent. his ration and quarters,
Classroom materials. fuel for the
aircraft. etc,
Depot maintenance costs are
figured at an average of $16.260.
The last phase of the Starfire
pilots schooling is a period of
40 hours of crew training during
which he learns how to use the
complicated electronics equip
ment and how to work smoothly
with his radar operator while
pursuing an enemy. The Air
Force estimates it sinks $32.290
into that phase.
The smallest item in the cost
table is $3.50 for pre-flight
training. The largest item is
$45. $50 for advanced Jet training.
