The testimony was offered by
Roland E. Jones, special assist
ant to the chairman Of the

mission. He appeared before
a public hearing on the ade-
quacy Of service at Friendship
and National Airports.
Using huge maps, Mr.. Jones

Another witness, Carl A.

DC. Truckers Likely
To Escape New Tax
Maryland Levy
To Take Effect
October |

Maryland officials indicated
today the State will exempt
District truckers from a new
Maryland road tax to take
effect October /.
The new Maryland law re-
quires truckers to pay the
States 6-cents-a-gallon motor
fuel levy for mileage travelled
in the State even If they buy
the gasoline elsewhere.
The law allows reciprocal
agreements with other States
and the District-for waving
the tax, however.
officials disclosed today that
Gov. McKeldin conferred with
truckers and State tax and le-
gal officers Monday about the
possibility of such reciprocal
arrangements. The Governor
expressed willingness to nego-
tate such agreements, it was
The District may be the first
nearby jurisdiction to benefit,
officials indicated.
Agreement Asked
District Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp today made
public a letter to Maryland
Controller J. Willard Tawes
asking for a reciprocal agree
ment between the District and
Maryland. The agreement
would provide for waving the
new tax on District-registered
motor carriers. including buses
as well as trucks.
Mr.. Keneipp acted at the
urging Of the District of Co
lumbia Trucking Association.
Mr.. Keneipp informed the
Maryland tax official that the
District has no plan to impose
any road tax on Maryland car
riers, and that therefore he
presumed a reciprocal agree
ment could be worked out.
District tax officers recently
have been concerned about the
impact of a similar road tax
already being imposed by vir-
ginia.
Revenue Dropping
The city's gasoline sales and
tax revenues have been slump
ing. partly because the Virginia
law has been diverting some
interstate bus and truck fuel
buying from the District.
City ofiicials have been dis
cussing possible ways of coping
with the Virginia problem. but
have not yet found a solution.
Virginia law. according to ofii-
Gals, does not permit recipro-
cal agreements for waving the
States tax.

might have been surrounded by

road and the homes"
Complained 5 Years Ago
Mr.. Scheuer's architect, Mrs
Chlothiel w. Smith, said Mr.
Scheuer's reference was not to
a much-publicized 5OO-unit
apartment to be built by Mr.
Scheuer a block away from the
expreSsway. which already has
been approved for mortgage
insurance by the Federal
Housing Administration. The
reference. she said. was to row
houses and an apartment house
in the Area b SETON immedi.
ately adjoining the expresswaS
for which definite construction
plans are not set.
Mrs. Smith said that she and
a former architectural col.
league, Louis Justement. raised
the same complaint i've years
ago. when they jointly proposed
a southwest redeveIopmeni
scheme. But nothing was done
about changing coming to re-
quire residential building next
to the freeway route" she said
Mr.. Scheuer cited Q CON-
plant as an example Of the
kind Of planning problems
that are certain to develop
future conflicts between the
gigantic Federal urban renewal
and highway programs unless
ofhcials are careful. He stressed
that he entered the project
knowing about the situation
however. and that he had not
thought that anything would be
done about it at this late date.

cities and the suburbs, and
that areas faced a dual prob

back into cities and colored
people out into the suburbs.
Applies to All Cities
Mr.. Scheuer, q New Yorker
and q codeveloper Of Washing
tons pilot Area B Southwest
redevelopmentp plan, COM
mented on the racial problem
ira panel discussion Of a con-
ference. here on the impact Of
the multi-billion dollar Federal
highway program on metro
politan development.
He said his remarks applied
to all cities in which large
Negro populations have in
creased during recent years. He
said he was convinced that the
pattern which is developing
would cause serious problems
in the future unless some
steps are taken to bring about
q more heterogeneous spread"
Of population.
At the same time, he said
Negro families are absorbing
the brunt Of the punishment
Of dislocation by big express
ways tearing through blighted
cities. Displacement by urban
renewal projects. he said. also
has reached q stage that some
people have characterized "ur-
ban renewal as Negro = re-
moval."
Calls Issue Explosive"
He added:
The increasingly acute
shortage of minority relocation
housing has now reached the
point where it seriously threat
ems TO become an explosive
local political issue which
might well result in slowing
down both highway and urban
renewal programming."
Across the Nation, Mr..
Scheuer said. the new Federal
highway program will displace
an estimated 10000 families a
year. District highway prof.
ects. he said. are expected to
displace a total Of $500 fam
ilies-as many families as win
be displaced by the entire sew
eral 550-acre Southwest re-
development programs.
Mr.. Scheuer said that
throughout the Nation there
has been virtually no general
public responsibility assumed"
for this problem and urged that
1t be tackled at Federal, State
and city levels.
Points to unused Tool"
One so far unused tool" for
providing middle-income hous-
ing. he suggested, is the use of
urban redevelopment powers to
acquire open land for new
housing sites In connection
with expressways.
While taking land for new
highways" he said. the local
public agency should take more
land than is needed for high
way purposes and apportion
some Of this land for moderate
income relocation housing, pref
erably on an open occupancy
basis"
On another matter, Mr..
Scheuer told reporters he in
tended no criticism Of District
highway officials yesterday
when he cited an example of
failure Of planning foresight"
