One of the major concessions
in the new plan is the possibility
that a Reaches Run bridge
could be built across the Potomac
and Washington Channel into
the Southwest if future traffic
needs require it.
Highway consultants for the
District, however. have fatty
concluded that the bridge will
not be needed and have de-
signed the Southwest freeway
accordingly. This sharp conflict
between the planners and city
highway officials was touched
on yesterday and will come up
at next months meeting.
This basic difference over flu
ture traffic needs. however, need
not directly involve the Zechen-

Planners Give
GA Site Advice
Avoid Suggesting
Particular Area

The National Capital Planning
Commission yesterday gave the
Central Intelligence Agency some
suggestions about what to look
for in a location for its new
$38 million headquarters-but
stayed away from the mat
ter of just where the CHA should
look.
The action followed disclosure
that the CHA has abandoned its
first proposal for a location on
Federal property at Langley, Va.
The planners yesterday agreed to
help the top-secret agency find a
different spot.
In a formal resolution follow
ing this the commission said the
location should be well ORR
ented to other Government
agencies with which it works
regularly and to the community
within which it is to be located. :"
Three Considerations
AS to whether this should be
in the District, Maryland or Vir-
ginia, the planners said the CHA
should ropsider.
/. Locations in the District
within areas already authorized
for public buildings such as
In the Northwest Rectangle."
This is an, area north of Con-
stitution avenue and west of
Seventeenth street NV.
2. Locations in Virginia close
to either the proposed inter
mediate" or "outer" circumfer-
entail belt highways where there
is already "a nucleus for an ur-
ban environment and where
public facilities and services are
already available such as in
the southern part of Fairfax
County, in Springfield or in the
newly annexed portions of Alex
andria."
3. In Maryland. where similar
requirements to those listed for
Virginia are found, "but not in
communities within which large
Government agencies have al
ready been established"
Other Business
On other matters, the Plan
ming Commission:
/. Urged further study Of a
controversial proposal to extend
Newark street NV. between Ne
braska and Massachusetts, ave-.
nues. The proposed street line
would cut of the corner of the
so-called Wire tract just east
of Ward Circle. affecting a 81
million apartment building and
underground central parking
garage project.
2. Approve an amendment in
the Southwest Washington Area
B" project plan. This change
would relocate major highways
passing through the area, and
reshape the form of the Randall
Recreation Center near South
Capitol street. The change, to
be effective. must be ratified by
the Commissioners after public
hearing.
3. Ordered more study by staff
technicians of a proposed urban
renewal" project to rehabilitate
slums in the Foggy Bottom area.
4. Reiterated opposition to any
immediate change in the Dis
trict's building height limita-
tons. New proposals for such
a change have been raised in
connection with the revision Of
the city's 1920 coming regula-
tionS.
S. Heard a description Of
coming revision progress from
Harold Lewis, New York consult
ant in charge of the revision.
Mr.. Lewis said he hoped policy
agreements soon will permit
drafting work to
start on the regulations.

The OAR m maintains two

society depends on Scholarship
gifts to keep the schools func-
tioning as first-class institutions,
