lens. The State Department

application. Mr.. Gilutin said
fSzabo. now at a tournament in

Groups Told
OF Northwest
Renewal Plans

More than $50 residents who
will be affected by the North
west Urban Renewal felt much
relieved last night, after they
were told their neighborhoods
would be redeveloped in small
projects over a 10-year period,
instead of in one sweeping
renovation.
Meeting for the first time
with the people in the North
west area who will have to
undergo the changes. repre-
sentatives from the National
Capital Planning Commission
and the Redevelopment Land
Agency told the group the
plans now made public are
only the results Of prelimi-
nary studies. The final plan fol-
the renovation will be drawn
UP after the people involved
are given full consideration at
public hearings.
Melvin j. Adams, program
planner for the RIA, told the
group. which consisted most
ly of members of the East Gen.
trail and, Central Northwest
civic associations, that it will
be at least a year and a half
before any work is begun.
With the aid of maps and
colors slides which showed ex-
listing blighted spots in the
area. Charles H. Conrad of the
NCPC. pointed out that only 80
per cent of the dwellings will
have to be torn down, while the
remaining 70 per cent will have
to undergo structural improve
ment and a few coats of paint.
Robert Ewell. president Of
the East Central Civic Associa-
ton, was chairman of the meet
ing In Scott Montgomery

superintendent, DR.. William
Jansen.
DR.. Jansen said "The propo-
sal to have an armed policeman
regularly stationed in every
school is unthinkable."
DR.. Jansen's comment was
made yesterday after Brooklyn
Judge Samuel S. Liebowitz, who
is presiding over the Brooklyn
school crime investigation, said
in a new charge to the special
grand jury:
Conditions alarming"
"The court feels that this
grand jury would not have
made this unusual request were
1t not for the fact that the
grand jury has evidence before
it to establish that conditions
are alarming and that the
school authorities have been
utterly incapable Of coping with
the situation"
Judge Leibowitz instructed the
grand jury on November s to
search out the causes and pos
sible cures Of the outbreaks of
violence in some Brooklyn
schools.
The grand jury made the
policeman-per-school proposal
Monday. 1t recommended that
the city police patrol the cor
ridors, the stairways and the
recreation yards" of the city's
9l8 public schools of various
grades and types.
Responding to the grand
jury's recommendation, DR..
Jansen said:
Schools do not operate in a
vacuum. They inevitably reflect
the behavior Of the community.
1t is inevitable that in a public
school population Of l million
children there will be offenses
committed in schools which are
sometimes serious. But no gen.
eralization should be drawn
from these. which would indict
a whole school system or the
great majority Of its pupils"
Current Plan Defended
DR.. Jansen, explaining what
has been done to fight crime
in schools said, when such
incidents occur, our supervisors
call Immediately for police as
sistance. And there has been

lar volume of residential con-
tracts was $875, 100000 and
showed decline of 7 per cent
below the February. 1856. figure.
At the same time, the firm
noted, the number of dwelling
units covered by the residential
contracts was 1882 this Feb
ruary and showed drop of IL
per cent from the corresponding
month of last year.
The difference between the
percentage drop in dollars and
in units is accounted for by a
trend toward higher price tags
on housing units, the firm said.
