Arlington Master Plan
To Map Attacks on
BIighted Road Areas

A master plan aimed at chart
ing Arlington's future develop
ment will be presented within
six weeks to the County Board.
One Of its major phases will
outline proposals for attacking
bhghted areas along arterial
highways.
Announcement was made yes
terday by the Arlington Devel-
opment Committee that the COM
prehensive report was in the
works. The five-member advisory
group. with County Manager A.
T. Lundberg and School Supt. T.
E. Rutter as ex-officio members,
has. been at work on the project
since the first of the year.
Wilfred Owen, committee
chairman. said the report will
incorporate a number of pre-
vious studies made on Arling-
tons development problems.
Plan BOLD Attack"
The highway phase Of the plan,
he said. will be to try to prevent
further roadside commercial de-
velopment on the major high
ways and to make a bold at
tack" on the present "blighted
areas"
Mr.. Owen said the committee
hopes to see al-State-coun-
ty cooperation in this matter
and that he had received Gin
formal assurances" Of support
from Federal highway officials.
Mr.. Owen. in his announce
ment to the county board, de-
clared:
Uncontrolled development on
the major routes Of travel such
as Lee highway is not only Great
ing traffic hazards and conges-
tion and jeopardizing our invest
ment in highway Improvements,
but is creating adverse condi-
tions for the conduct of business
and giving the county a reputa-
ton for unsightliness that may
be a powerful deterrent to pros
pective residents and new indus
tries"
Pool Site Hearing.
In other action, the board yes
terday set April 2 for a public
hearing on a request by the Dom

chase part of nine-acre tract
now held by the recreation de-
partment. The land touches the
Taylor Elementary School on the

Planning Director Frank l..
Dieter, in a report submitted to

acres would be needed for the
pool site. The Office of Planning
and the Recreation Department
opposed the requested sale.
If the board grants the asso-
ciation's request at it's April 2
session. a use permit hearing
will be held at the same meeting.

Within a Week of
The Board

AS we go to press we are less than
a week before the converting of the
last Quarterly Board for the year
1855.
In an effort to help the local
president with their reports for the
last quarterly board we copied the
names of the members of each local
lodge on the report blank that has
been sent out to the presidents.
Since that time some of the presi-
dents have lost their report blanks
and vet Ibis is not anything unusual
because all Of this is expected.
We hope and trust that as many
Of the presidents as possible will
make a round report thereby help
ing the office in getting our office
copies closed out for the year 1855.

Webster's Play Reminds
Coach of Tuffy Leemons

II honestly believe we would
have beaten any team in the
league today" Coach Jim Lee
Howell said in summing up the
New York Giants 27-20 victory
over the Redskins yesterday at
Grifiith Stadium. Were as good
as any Of them"
The prematurely gray. 6-foot-
4 Howell. who halls from Arkan-
sas and played end for the Giants
before moving up to coach, said
the team got started late. It
lost two of its best linemen, Bill
Albright and Billy Ship. to the
Canadian League. Ray Krouse
missed the first three exhibition
games, and Ken MacAfee, Eddie
Price. Frank Clifford and Ray
Beck have been in and out of
the lineup all season, but yes
terday the Giants had the horses
too much horsepower for the
Redskins.
AS for Alex Webster -.
HE reminds me of Tuffy Lee
mans" said Jim Lee. who played
with the former George Wash
ington ace when both were with
the Giants. "He hasn't much
speed. but he knows when to cut,
like Tuffy. and when he does, he
pours 1t on. He's a pretty good
boy"
Howell said he was sort of
sorry the Giants had to be the
ones to knock the Redskins out
Of the face. but thought 1t was
good for football.
They've got the hustlingest
team in the league" he added.
They never give up. but the
Giants are better. I don't think
there's a team in the league that
can beat us now"

made good with an onside kick
that Roy Barni scooped up. He

day was thrown by Red Stephens,
