Opponents declared the plan
is unconstitutional. that 1t might
destroy the public school system

have the effect of promoting in

pointed out there are now only
a few non-sectarian private

arguments by saying that if pri-

Plans for DC.
Advisory Unit Sees
Serious Errors in
Lewis Proposals
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Citizen advisers have roundly
condemned preliminary proposals
to revise Washington coming by
Harold M. Lewis, hired by the
District Commissioners nearly
two years ago to do the job for
$4,000.
A 24-page report, charging the
consultant with acceptance of
an "untenable philosophy and
premise" leading to serious err
rors," will be presented at 2:3O
pm. tomorrow to the executive
committee of the Commissioners
Zoning Advisory Committee
which was set up to assist and
advise the city heads and the
consultant.
Major reason for the adverse
report. it was understood. was
the feeling that Mr.. Lewis pro-
posals had gone far beyond the
job for which he was hired
merely to revise existing coming
and had tried to change the
city"
1t was prepared by a special
drafting committee appointed
July 2 by Thomas j. Groom,
chairman of the full committee
and president of the Bank of
Commerce. The subcommittee
was headed by James c. Wilkes,
specialist in coming law.
Plan "Emphatically Rejected"
If adopted by the executive
committee, the report will go to
a meeting of the full 60-member
committee September 20 in the
board room of the Perpetual
Building.
The Wilkes report starts out
by declaring fatty that I'VE en-
phatically reject" the philosophy
adopted by Mr.. Lewis in aiming
to mold down the working popu-
lation OF downtown Washington.
The report says: The consul
tant refers to the difference be-
tween an individual and social
point OF view and proceeds to
state that the reduction in dens-
ity recommended by him will
debate the price of land by
enough to bring about sales at
prices which will enable building
to proceed at the new density"
This philosophy" the Wilkes
report says, lis one to which
this committee cannot subscribe.
We emphatically reject it,"
Needs Seen Ignored

meeting of the drafting COM
mittee Wednesday and mailed
