Mrs. Payne's case was based on

Taking Steps
To Expedite
U. S. Moves
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Steps to speed Federal action
on Washington'S big Area c
Southwest redevelopment pro-
gram have been promised by AL
bert M. Cole. Housing and Home
Finance Agency chief.
The steps, it was disclosed to-
day, follow protests by the Dis
trict r developm ent Land
Agency to Mr.. Cole over delays
in Federal approval of the big
440-acre project. The project
hearing by the District commits
SionerS.
HHFA and the Commissioners
both must approve the project
was submitted to the agency last
May Is after a public hearing
by the District Commissioners.
At an RIA meeting today.
Chairman John A. Remon dis
closed that he had asked Mr..
Cole on August Is if the Area G
project could be handled directly
by the HHFA Washington Office.
instead of through the agency's
regional Office in Philadelphia.
Special Meeting Set
In reply. Mr.. Cole said this
would not be practicable because
of his agency's organ:zational
set up. but promised that every
effort is being made to expedite
the project. One step will be
a special meeting to be held at
the District Building Friday.
HHFA officials also informed
the RIA that the Philadelphia
Office expected to send the project
to the agency in Washington with
Ia recommendation within the
next two weeks. One factor re-
portedly holding up the approval
has been the Philadelphia Offices
questioning of some of the RIA
estimates of future costs for the
project.
In another development, Will
liam zeckendorf, whose New York
firm hopes to rebuild part of the
Area c project. today submitted
to RIA a proposal for early con-
struction of shopping facilities in
the Southwest.
Clown Center"
Under the Area C plan all
facilities would be in-
cluded in a so-called Town Gem
ter" to be in the area between
Third and Sixth and and M
streets S.W. The center need
not be completed until most OF
the big rebuilding of housing
gets under way. Part of the
center. however, must be built
now to serve residents of the
pilot Area B project under con-
struction this year.
Mr.. zeckendorf said he was
willing to either buy or lease
enough land to begin the center
Immediately and asked the RIA
to propose a price. He stressed
that the center would not com.
pete with downtown Washing
ton businesses.
He proposed that the Town
Center be developed by a sepa-
rate corporation in which his
firm would be the main stock.
holder. He said he already has
discussed with leading Wash.
ington businessmen" the pur.
chase of the additional stock.
The RIA directed a three-
man panel of real estate APP
praisers to review the proposal
and recommend land value Of
the property involved.
The RIA also voted to extend
for another year its general
working agreement with Mr..
zeckendorf. leading toward his
participation in the project.

Liquor Permit
.AppIicdtionHi

A cross-section of the Spring
Valley and American University
Park communities today blasted
the application of a delicatessen
on upper Massachusetts avenue
to sell hard liquor.
Among the leaders of the OPP
position voiced by religious. edu-
cational and civic groups was DR..
Hurst R. Anderson. president of
American University.
Permission to sell liquor is
being sought by Samuel Wagshal,
who has operated delicatesSen
for a number of years in a shop
ping center spot at 1855 Massa-
Ichusetts avenue NV. Mr.. Wag-
shall wishes to augment his food
items with whiskey, wines and
beer.
| A large turnout of community
Iinterests-including a liquor
store already established in the
vicinity-voiced objections to-
day at a public hearing Ivy the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board.
Fears Student Drinking
DR.. Anderson, whose univer-
Isity is located four-tenths of a
mile from the Wagshal store,
asserted that to grant the re-
Iquested license would be against
the interests of good public
policy"
He testified his belief that to
locate a liquor store convenient
to any university campus is to
increase drinking among the
student body by rs per cent.
1T is foolish for Congress to
investigate juvenile delinquency, !"
the educator said, when the
citizens allow liquor stores to be
placed under the noses of
schools and universities.
He said he disagrees with the
boards decision last year to grant
a class A license to a store at
1872 Massachusetts, avenue, an
application the university strong
lily opposed at the time.
DR.. Anderson pointed out that
part of the university's big ex-
Ipansion program includes estab-
Fishing a theological seminary in
honor of John Wesley on that
corner Of the university tract
which lies nearest the delica-
lessen.
Citizens Official Testifies
Claude E. Hobbs, jr., president
Iof the Spring Valley Wesley
Heights Citizens Association, as
serted that the area already is
adequately served by the exist
ing liquor store at 1872 Massa-
FchusettS avenue.
/ Charles j. Stevens, chairman
of the Board of Deacons of Vest
moreland Congregational Church,
testified it would be spiritually
wrong to locate a liquor store in
an area frequented by children.
Still another churchman, the
Rev. Harry w. Rankin, pastor
of River Road United Presbyte-
rian Church, said he is particu-
larry opposed to selling liquor
along with food items in the
same store.
Attorney Thomas M. Raysor,
representing Mr.. Wagshal whose
case was to be argued this after
noon. told the board he has a
petition with 800 signatures of
area residents who favor the
application.

minute and ran into the woods.

The
Rambler
Who Says Camera
Never Lies?
BY JACK JONAS

Some photographers, armed
with flash cameras, took pic
lures the other day in the
Hall of Archives, getting ready
for Constitution Day.
But when the pictures are
printed, the public won't be
seeing the Declaration of In
dependence. It will be a fac
smile OF the Declaration, care
fully treated to look like the
original.
This is part of carefully
drawn plans to protect the
Nations documents of free
dom. The Declaration, by the
time 1t got into the hands of
the National Archives, already
had been seriously faded by
years of neglect and exposure
to light.
1t has been estimated that
a quick flash from a camera
is equal to an hours exposure
to bright sunlight.
But the Archives, not wish
ing to be uppity about pic
ture-taking, had the facsimile
prepared. 1t takes about Is
or 20 minutes to install it for
picture-taking, and that's why
they ask advance notice from
photographers.
The only way to be sure
you're viewing the original is
to drop down to the Archives
Building and take a look at
1t in the carefully controlled
lighting of the Hall of Ar
chiveS.
