study that q comprehensive re-
newal plan can be completed
in 10 years; that 1t is well within
the financial capacity of the
District to do so; that the for
seeable relocation load is within
manageable dimension; and that
there are adequate civic and
business resources in the COM
munity for the tasks involved
if the District Government Or
ganizes realistically for the pro-
gram and makes clear its de-
termination to carry it out.
It is therefore recommended
that a program for the elimi-
nation of slums and blight with
in the next 10 years be officially
recognized by the Board of Com
missioners as the objective of
the District of Columbia and
that the urban renewal program
be planned and organized to
achieve that objective.
The rough dimensions Of the
problem of slums and blight in
the National Capital are pre-
sented by the 1850 Housing
Census which shows that 27,727
dwelling units, or 1914 per cent
OF the total housing supply in
the District Of Columbia, were
dilapidated or lacked private
bath or running water. The i'm
pact Of slums and blights in the
District OF Columbia follows the
same dangerous pattern as in
other cities. The concentration
Of crime and delinquency and
the incidence of disease in the
blighted areas are among the
familiar hallmarks.
Show Familiar Pattern.
The economic impact of slums
shows the familiar pattern Of
congestion. decay, and declining
assessments in the older sec
tions Of the city accompanied by
an increase in the need for mu-
nicipal services. The downward
trend is accentuated by the flight
OF middle and upper income
families to the suburbs. Business
then follows its market to the
outlying areas. The shortage Of
vacant land for new development
within the boundaries Of the
District Of Columbia impairs the
city's opportunity to replace the
resultant loss with new families.
new markets and new assess
ments. In 1850, only 10 per cent.
or about 1000 acres, of the total
land area Of the District was
privately owned vacant land.
This has been substantially re-
duced by subsequent building
operations. Thus the District Of
Columbia but for a renewal pro-
gram faces the fiscal future of a
declining asSessable base in the
deteriorating areas, increasing
costs for municipal services in
those areas and little oppor-
tunity for new assessments as
available land for new construc-
ton is rapidly being exhausted.
The obviously strong demand
for good housing In desirable
elose-in locations suggests that
not all of this movement to the
suburbs reflects a preference for

Set No Terms for
Release of Flyers
D.. m, As,oe;o,ed Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Jan.
II. - Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold said today that
Red China's Chou En-lai raised
q number of questions, includ-
ing United Nations seat, during
their Peiping talks-but that ne
definitely had laid down no con-
ditions for release of the II
American flyers held there.
The secretary general, in q
news conference, declared he had
achieved what he was aiming
at" during his visit to Peiping.
He described this as merely
the first step in the continuing
contact.
Mr.: Hammarskiold said that
in his opinion an improvement
In the international climate was
directly connected with the
question Of releasing the Ameri-
can flyers and other U. N. Com
mand personnel held by the
Chinese Communists.
He stressed. however. that MFR.
Chou had made no proposals or
laid down any terms.
No Deals Suggested.
He said Mr.. Chou's discussion
of other questions was entirely
apart from the question of the
| prisoners"
mo deals Of any kind, nor
any link between these other
questions and the prisoner ques-
ton. were suggested by either
side." Mr.. Hammarskjold told
reporters.
The Secretary General de-
clined to. list specifically which
questions Mr.. Chou had brought
up, but he said the Chinese
leader had raised just about
every issue that he has discussed
in recent speeches. statements,
and other expressions.
Mr.. Hammarskjold was asked
whether Mr.. Chou had expressed
concern over q possible attack
on the Chinese mainland by the
United States.
"One of the curious things
about the present world situa-
ton is that everybody is afraid
of everybody else, " the Secretary
General said.
Discussed Almost EVERYTHING.
Asked whether Mr.. Chou had
brought up the question Of Pei
ping representation IN the U. NJ,
Mr.. Hanmarskjold said this was
covered by the previous state
ment that Mr.. Chou had dis
cussed almost everything.
The Secretary General said the
question of IS Chinese students
detained in the United States
had not been made a condition
for release Of the American fly
ers.
Mr.. Han1marskjold arrived
here last night and Immediately
conferred for an hour with
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., chief
United States delegate. Later
Mr.. Lodge reported to Secretary
OF State Dulles. who in turn
filled In President Eisenhower.
In today's news conference
Mr.. Hammarskjold was asked
whether he regarded his trip as
successful.
IF by successful you mean I
had the flyers back on the plane
with me, I was not successful,
he said. IF in the point of ex-
ploration, it was successful.

The Commissioners received {

ing that IL large Washington

10 years.
These widely scattered II
areas contain about 10000 SUBJ
standard dwellings. about three
fourths of all the city's sub
standard housing. ,
The report, submitted by Con-
sultants Nathaniel s. Keith and
James w. Rouse. proposed that
q definite priority schedule be
set UP for applying redevelop-
ment and less drastic types OF
slum clearance to each area dur
ing the next decade.

not getting enough top quality
young people into teaching" he
says. and the public must do
something about i'll"
He is convinced that citizens in
their local towns must back up
their superintendent in a demand
for the best teachers they can pos
sibly get - and this means high
er teacher salaries and more re-
spect for teachers as professional
people.
For without gifted teachers some
of the potential of our gifted young
people is wasted.
"We've got to reconcile the con-
flict between the highly desirable
social feature of giving training
above grade school to all, and the
equally desirable aim of giving
good training TO the upper quarter
of our students"
Thus Mr.. Beatley agrees with
a growing number of educators
that better training for the gifted
is a prime need in American edu-
cation today.
But to do it, more capable teach
ers are needed - and for them,
higher salaries.
Average starting salary for a
high school mathematics teacher
in Massachusetts today is $4,000 if
he has a bachelors degree. But the
same man or woman might east

If he has a masters degree the
average Massachusetts school job
his first year would pay $1,000.
But if he looked into engineering
he might easily earn $4,000 his
first year.
SHIFT TO INDUSTRY
In some cases a young engineer
starts a salary higher than he
could expect to earn after years of
experience as high school teach
er.
One result of these low salaries
is the way 35 per cent of the
young people trained for teaching
in Massachusetts last year decided
to leave teaching their first year
after graduating. 1t is estimated
that 81 per cent of a group of re-
Gently graduated potential math
