posals can take force of law.
Opponents, in urging that the
proposals be scraped, hit, how
ever, at the basic Lewis concepts
of city development which the
regulations are intended to carry
out. They contend these concepts
are unrealistic, and so radical"
that no amendments could make
them acceptable.
Controversial Proposals
Among the most controversial
OF these concepts are policy de-

these questions Of broad city
policy before attempting to for
mulate coming tools to carry
them out.
But since there was no agree
ment. the Lewis firm used its
own best judgment to follow
Congress- directions for the zon-
ing revision, postponing until
now a judgment on them by the
city. he said.
Program for Meetings
Mr.. Lewis, at the 10 public
meetings. win contend the new
coming in most cases reflects
current use of land. rather than
the way land might now be
zoned under the existing So
year-old coming maps. Far more
land now is zoned for apart
ments and commercial land
than is used for those purposes,
for example. In addition, Mr..
Lewis will describe a series OF
"neighborhood planning studies"
which served as q guide to the
revisiSA.
Ernest F. Henry. Citizens Ad-
viSory Committee member in
charge Of the meetings, said he
will attempt to hold discussions
as much as possible to the area
covered by each session.

Isoned for apartments and
changed to single-family coming
areas under the Lewis coming, in
Iclude areas marked "R-2" to the
upper right OF st. Elizabeths
Hospital and large areas marked
|'R-l-C" along Mississippi and
lVslley avenues, on either side
lof Oxon Run parkway.
Mr.. Lewis said his starting
point in the rezoning through
out the city was to adapt his
new coming claSsiflcations as
much as possible to existing uses
of developed land.
Another factor influencing the
new coming. however, was q
series of "neighEorhood planning
Studies" which evaluated pres
ent development trends and pre-
dicted the effect that various
kinds Of new growth would have
on the stability Of property
values and on such available
public services as schools, streets,
sewers and shopping.
The studies in this map area
showed that it already is def
Gent in many of the public
facilities which help keep neigh
borhoods healthy.
These studies helped convince
the Lewis flrm that an unlimited
number of new apartments
permitted under existing coming
would seriously overcrowd the
area. The consultants antici-
pate objection from owners Of
the vacant property, who would
be free under existing regula-
lions to build almost any kind
of residential housing. They
will detail their answers at to-
morrow's nights meeting.

tually the entire may area now
is zoned to permit apartment
buildings. While number of
apartments do exist, however.
there also are many single-fam-
lily detached and semi-detached
homes. built in the old apart
ment districts"
The Lewis firm said its start
ing point in the coming revision.
therefore, was to make the new
coming map conform to the type
of development already on the
ground. by creating new detached
R-D and semi-detached (R-2)
single family-home coming areas,
prohibiting apartments.
Highlights Of the revision.
however, include:
/. Zoning Of virtually all
vacant land to permit only
single-family homes, no apart
mentS.
2. More rigid requirements
than now exist on the conStruc-
ton Of single-family detached
and semidetached homes. One
requirement, for example, is
that the detached homes (R-
1-C) must have minimum lot
sizes Of 5000 square feet and
minimum lot widths Of so feet.
;. More rigid restrictions than
now exist on the size Of new
apartments in zones where they
are permitted (R-5-A and r.
5-B). At present, apartments can
be built at density to provide
about ITO families per acre Of
ground. The new requirements
would cut this density to about
20 to 40 families per acre
meaning much smaller apart
ment buildings. The Lewis firm
says, however, that these densi-
ties closely follow most apart
mentS which have actually been
built in this area, even though

The big "C-3" area nearest st.
Elizabeths, now zoned for apart
ment development, covers some
land actually built up in single
family homes. These homes,
under the new coming would be-
come "non-conforming uses, +"
meaning that they could not be
replaced by other homes or

cation.

Il was asked what the pros
poets were for relations between
the United States and the Soviet
Union.
Il answered We had great
basis for it, and did not see any
insurmountab!e obstacles toward
rapprochement and friendship,
but unfortunately there still were
some people who made propa-
ganda for the cold war. Fortu-
nately, these people were grow
ing less and if we want friendship
we must call them to order.
Certain American papers said
SheplloV proposed muzzllng the
press. Certainly, this is a most
fragrant distortion of my words.

of the press as a great medium
of expression. But there still is
a great difference between free
dom of the press and propaganda
for the cold war
II had in mind to establish
friendly and even warm relations
with neWsmen in Moscow but
an elementary condition is YOU
should not misrepresent my
words"
