Foggy Bottom Project
Drops Potomac Plaza
Boundaries
Approved by
City Heods
By HECTOR MCLEAN

The District Commissioners to-
day reduced the size of the Foggy
Bottom urban renewal area by
eliminating from it the Potomac
Plaza development.
The action came when the
Commissioners set boundaries for
the renewal area. This will let
the Redevelopment Land Agency
apply to the Housing and Home
Finance Administration for funds
to survey the area and to draft
a plan for its overhaul.
The boundaries approved by
the city heads are. on the north.
Pennsylvania avenue; on the
east Twenty-fourth street; on
the south, H street and Virginia
avenue, and, on the west, by
Rock Greek parkway.
The proposed $100 million
Potomac Plaza development is
the site of a private construc-
ton project on the old Wash
Iington Gas Light Co. tract.
Had Urged Exclusion
The Commissioners last week
heard representatives of the
Potomac Plaza developers argue
vigorously that their project
should be excluded from any
urban renewal area.
/ The project had been included
in a tentative action by the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. The commission had
proposed to extend the area
south to the Federal parklands
above the Mall and east to
Twenty-third street.
] Also, the commission had pro-
posed creation of a George
! Washington University urban
renewal area Immediately to the
east of the Foggy Bottom area.

John Lord O'Briun
Chair Planned at
Divinity School

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 81
(P). - Harvard Divinity School
today announced receipt of gifts
totaling $250,000 from friends of
John Lord O'Brian, Washington
attorney. toward creating a pro-
fessorship in his honor.
The school said Because Mr.
O'Brian has encouraged a SYM
pathetic understanding of the
views and beliefs of others, this
professorship will be dedicated to
the study of the spiritual values
of different religious faiths,
Christian and non Christian
alike"
Goal of the study Is to ZEN
courage a higher plane of lead
ership in relations and dealings
between individuals. business
groups and government through
out the world"
Mr.. O'Brian. who lives at 2l01
Connecticut avenue, is consti-
tutional lawyer. He was general
counsel of the War Production
Board during World War II.
In 1916, Harvard University
named him to head a committee
OF clergymen and laymen to
study the Harvard Divinity
School. The committee later
recommended "revitalizing" the
school and making drastic"
changes to establish a major
religious learning center there.

the Turkish-Iraqi Pact. Egypt's
violent attacks on the new anti
Communist coalition and her de-
termined effort to prevent other
Arab League members from join
ing up is evidence that Egypt
looks on the pact as a direct
challenge to her supremacy.
Given the attitudes that prevail
here, there is reason to believe
that If Iraqi should emerge as
a civil leader of the Arab world.
Lebanon-and perhaps a num-
Der of other Arab states-would
be ready enough to switch al
legiance.
The fact is, however, that
nothing of the sort is happening
1t is true that the vision Of
the Arab League" as a homo
'geneous political group, bound
together by common traditions
and Royalties. looks different
from here. But it is also true
that, since the withdrawal of
Western power from the Middle
East. it provides at this point
the only really cohesive force in
this area. And even the un-
Arab Lebanese cannot safely ig-
more the fact.
Strongest Sets Pace
With all of the differences that
tend to separate its members
from each other, there is no sub
|stitute for power in the Arab
world. Whether they like it or
not, each of the Arab nations
has little choice except to follow
the strongest lead. And today
that lead unquestionaly comes
from Cairo.
Observers here unanimously
admit that Egypt's prestige in
creased enormously as the result
Iof Col. Nasser's deal to buy wea-
Ipons from the Communists,
There is no suggestion here that
the Lebanese like the Commu-
Inists, or would consider such a
deal themselves if they could
swing one. 1t is simply that mill
.tary strength in this area seems
to exert an irresistible political
attraction on states which, for
all their siren Lous anti-colonial-
ism, have relied for centuries on
outside power.
1t may be that ultimately the
more moderate and liberal APP
proach of Lebanon may have its
effect on the Arab world. For the
time being, however, it is clear
enough that Col. Nasser can call
the tune and his allies. with
whatever secret misgivings they
may feel, will dance.

NORTH BAY, Ontario, Dec. q
(P.-The parents of the Dionne

get even a Christmas card from
the four surviving girls this year.
"All our other children either
came home or called us on

Christmas greetings to their

"A lot of people have asked me
why the girls are not home for

be better If we didn't try to
camoufiage things any longer.
