until we know what we want to
do"
Interim Step Advised
While some form of point
action will be essential eventu-
ally. Mr.. O'Harrow said. it
will take years and even
decades to arrive at a salts
factory form for metropolitan
operations AS an interim step,
he said, one of the most feasible
steps metropolitan areas can
take is to establish their plan
ming programs on a regional
basis.
Regional, planning, he said.
can set up on an advisory basis
to the separate jurisdictional
governments and is the lone
scheme which can be invoked
quickly and with little danger
of offending the numerous con-
fiicting governmental interests. +"
The constituent govern
ments." he said, ARE free to
take or leave the planning rec
concentrations as they see fit.
In fact, until we have a single
centralized government for a
metropolitan area. this is about
the only way that metropolitan
planning can be organized"
Gulick WithhOlds support
Mr.. O'Harrow's voluntary
planning" proposal drew no
support from Mr.. Gulick. who
contended that planning should
be made direct responsibility of
the governing officials who
have the powers to carry plans
out.
Mr.. Gulick also hit the Fed
eral Government for its failure
| to coordinate the many Fed
eral programs which have i'm
pacts on metropolitan growth.
The Federal highway and urban
redevelopment programs, are
directly related in most cities.
But the Federal agencies han
ding the programs go their
own separate ways.
1T is high time" he said,
that the central government
took as much interest in the
big cities as it now takes in In
dian reservations and agricul-
tural regions"
And the thing that might
awaken Federal officials. he
added. is that metropolitan
areas from now on will contain
an ever-increasing majority Of
the national vote.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-11

problems can be solved by the
independent action Of separate
political jurisdictions in the big
areas.
The need for regional activity,
he said. is being forced more
and more every day by such
things as the new Federal high
way program. New express
ways, he argued. will attract
intensive development like
magnets, wherever they go in
the open country around cities.
1T is no longer possible, 4"
Mr.. Gulick said.. ito believe
that a sensible, effective and
economical system of trans
portation for an entire region
can develop itself or under
the direction of a number of
separate public and private
bodies"
Fears Long Range BIunders
He said it would take 100
years to repair some of the
plumbers" being made now in
highway programs as a result
of the failure to consider, all
the effects of the roads on the
entire regions.
At banquet last night Vic
tor Gruen, Los Angeles archi-
tect, and John E. Burchard,
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology dean of humanities.
both urged metropolitan areas
to take drastic steps to pre-
serve their downtown shopping
areas.
Mr.. Gruen. author of a reyo-
lutionary plan to ban all auto
traffic from the metropolitan
shopping area of Fort Worth,
Tex. said other cities should
consider similar moves. His
Fort Worth plan calls for a
loop" freeway to be built
around the center, connected to
six large parking garages.
In other panel discussions
several speakers urged metro
politan areas to call on civic
and business leaders to help
draw special plans to guide
area growth.
Proposed as Pattern
Kenneth M. Hoover, director
of Washington's 100000 trans
portation study, described it
in detail and said he hoped it
would serve as a pattern for
other cities plagued with
similar highway and mass
transit headaches.
Mr.. Gulick spoke at a ma
tional conference of business
and public officials. holding
four-day sessions on the impact
of the new highway program on
mush coming metropolitan
areas. The emphasis today
turned mainly to possible new
governmental forms to cope
with the general problems Of
metropolitan growth.
He took the position that
the interests Of separate juris-
dictions in metropolitan areas
are so intertwined that it is
foolish for them to avoid Joint
action on problems like trans
portation. water supply, civil
defense. health and fire protec-
ton.
Proposes Area Councils
He proposed that these prob
lens OF a regional character"
be handled by new "metropol-
itan councils" preferably com
posed of the top elected officials
OF all the jurisdictions in the
areas. Existing governments.
he said. should retain complete
autonomy over all but the re-
gional problems, delegated spe-
cifically to the new regional
federation"
Another speaker, however.
said the greatest immediate
need is for metropolitan area
residents and officials to find
out a great deal more about the
peculiar new problem showed
on their shoulders by Metro
politan expansion.
Dennis O'Harrow, director.
American Society Of Planning
Ofhcials, said the catch is that
We do not know precisely what
is necessary to solve the
problem.
Therefore. it is premature to
worry about the legal problems

Sam Robson Finds
Civil War Shrine
OF Great Interest

A vacation trip to Florida held a
great deal of pleasure for Sam
Robson, recently returned home
after visiting Key West, st. Aug
ustine, and numerous other of the
spots in that state and those pass
ed through that interest vaca-
toner, but the part of the trip that
proved of greatest personal inn
portance and interest, was the time
spent on Kennesaw Mountain Bat
tie field.
1t was here that Sans great
uncle, 1t. Col. Darius Warner lost
his arm, in the spring of 1864 1t.
Col. Warner who was known to his
relatives and friends in this area
as "Dri" was in command of the
18th o. V. I. London's company in
the 18th was captained by Toland
Jones, member of one of the towns
pioneer families, who took over for
1t. Col. Warner when he was
wounded. Later Warner was dis
charged as brigadier general. A
day was spent on Missionary Ridge
and a shorter time on other of the
spots in that history infested area
On his return, at the request of
the park superintendent in charge
of the museum on the battlefield
Sam investigated the idea that
there might be some letters sent to
the folks back home during the
time of Col "Dri's" service. He
was successful in discovering q
number of such letters that some
of the family had bound into q

The Central Ohio Buckeye Coun-
Gil of which Madison County Chap
ter American Red Cross is a part,
had its spring conference last
Wednesday at the Lodge at Lake
White near Waverly.
One of the most interesting
things on the days agenda were
reports on the disaster work of the
Red Cross at Pikeville, Kentucky
during the recent flood. The area
affected was approximately 500
square miles flooded to a depth of
9 feet. The water supply was cut
off and other utilities were knock
ed out making terrific suffering a
mong the peoples. Unsolicited, the
Borden Company sent thousands of
"a gallon bottles of drinking water.
Phil Z. Bacon, Jr., of Huntington,
West Virginia is manager of the
Borden Co., in that district. The
Sears-Roebuck Company also came
to the front to aid the stricken
people and unsolicited sent thou
sands of pairs of children's shoes,
denim jumpers and other clothing.
These two corporations who vol
unteered this great aid, were only
part of those who came to the re-
lief of those injured, left homeless,
ETC., in the disaster, who were men,

Council by Sam Gilmore, Red
Cross field director, of Athens and
Miss Carol Roberts, executive Sec
retary of the GAINESVILLE Chapter,
both of whom were on the scene,
carrying on for the Red Cross in
its great disaster service.
The two spoke in great praise of
the people with whom they work
ed, stating that in practically every
case when offered help, those in
need would take no more than they
actually needed to get by: there
was no high-pressuring befriending
agencies, was their observation.
Also at the meeting, commit
ments were made for some of the
