the girl had shown the birth

Fine Arts Seeks
Planning Voice

Moves to give the Federal Fine
Arts Commission a stronger voice
in Washington development
problems were begun yesterday
at a meeting Of Federal and city
officials.
The main participants in the
|closed-door session were David
E. Finley, Fine Arts Commission
chairman: Brig. Gen. Thomas A.
Lane, District Engineer Commits
|sioner. and Harland Bartholo-
NEW. National Capital Planning
Commission chairman.
The major proposal from the
session was that the fine arts
group be given membership on
the planning commissions CO.
ordinating committee - a unit
composed Of staff experts from a
number Of Federal and District
agencies. The co-ordinating COM
mittee submits recommendations
on virtually all matters which
come before the planners.
Mr.. Bartholomew said the
planning commission will con-
slider the fine arts membership
at Its next meeting. Mr.. Finley
said he feels such q move would
be the most important step"
toward bringing his group into
closer contact with development
projects.
1t also was agreed that the
fine arts group should be rep
resented at planning commission
meetings when matters of mu-
tual interest are scheduled.
1t was decided that future
study is needed to determine
whether the Fine Arts Commits
sion activities should be broad
ened by q White House executive
order. Budget Bureau and plan
ming Commission officials already
are holding a series of confer
enceS on a proposed executive
order to direct all Federal agen-
cies to seek closer cooperation

hind that of neighboring States
where Maryland must find two

the shortage will become more
critical unless immediate steps
are taken.
Chairman Boone told the
group there were only two ways
to raise the $24 to $26 million
