Lewis Attacks

Constructive criticism, rather
than a personal attack on those
who helped frame the proposals,
are needed. if progress is to be
made on District coming regula-
tons, a Washington planning
group officer said yesterday.
While conceding there are
shortcomings in the new coming
plan at this preliminary stage,
Carl FeiSs. president. Washing
ton Chapter. American Institute
Iof Planners, urged thoughtful
study of the program.
Mr.. Feiss said the executive
committee of the Institute is ''se-
riously concerned with the at
lacks being made on the new
coming proposals for the District
OF Columbia and upon Mr.. Har-
old M, Lewis, who has directed
the project"
Not Passing Judgment
He pointed out 1.-THE executive
committee is not passing judy
ment on Mr.. Lewis coming pro-
posals." But he said it feels per-
sonal criticism and luminosity
have no place in this debate.
In a letter, expressing these
views. to Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin, Mr.. Feiss as
serted:
Mr.. Lewis is a man of out
standing integrity with excellent
training and long experience in
the field of planning and zon-
ing. Moreover. the basic coming
principles that he has followed
in developing the proposed ordi-
nance are widely accepted
throughout the Nation. Surely
an expert in planning and zon-
ing is better qualified to prepare
coming plan than persons
trained in other fields.
Proposals BasicalIy Sound
10 suggest that the proposed
coming plan be turned back to
Mr.. Lewis and that he and his
staff be dismissed. SO that a new
start can be made, is not con-
structive criticism. .. Thoughtful
citizens with the best interest
OF this great city at heart, will
not go along with this SUCCESS
ton. They realize that the ex-
listing coming ordinance is obso-
llete and that major changes are
needed. They also realize that
the Lewis proposals are basicaIly
sound.
with further refinements the
new coming plan will help reduce
the congestion which is currently
jeopardizing the growth and sta
bility of American cities. 1t will

ment into orderly patterns in

In another major change. Mr..

Highly Restricted Area
The area north Of Rock Greek
Park Gar left on map is
classed as Ria, the most re-
strictive of Mr.. Lewis zones.
New homes in this area would
require building lots of mini

with 100-foot minimum lot
widths.
The area surrounding the
Army Medical Center, zoned
Rib, would require $780,

that these standards largely
conform to existing development
and are based on field samples
tested throughout the city.
