Georgetown
Lights Plan
Is Defended

Installing Of modern street
lights in Georgetown was de-
Tended last night by Engineer
Commissioner Alvin c. yelling.
City-planned street lighting
improvements are in accord
with the wishes Of the majority
of Georgetown residents, he
said.
Some Georgetowners recently
renewed complaints on the sub
ject after plans were announced
for installing new lights on M
street this summer.
Col. yelling also indicated
approval of move by Repre-
sentative Broyhill, Republican
of Virginia. to speed improve
ment of lighting elsewhere in
the District.
Mr.. Broyhill last week said
he would introduce a bill for a
study aimed at better street
lighting to combat accidents
and crime.
The engineer commissioner
said something has to be done"
to improve street lighting.
Col. yelling in a WWDC
broadcast predicted that the
recent transfer of traffic en-
gineering to the Highway De-
partment will benefit both the
city's "pocketbook" and mo-
florists.
He said a permanent director
for the new Department of
Motor Vehicles will be named
pretty soon" Herman S. Cole,
former assistant director of the
supplanted Department of We
hicles and Traffic. is now act
ing director.
The Highway Department
is likely to be renamed Depart
ment of Highways and Traffic.
Col. yelling indicated. He said
he has proposed the title to
Highway Director John N.
Robertson.
The engineer commissioner
voiced hope for quick passage
of a bill permitting the Dis
trict's sewage system to take
sewage from Virginia.
Fairfax County is seeking to
reach an agreement with the
District to use the city's sew
age treatment plant.
improvements at the Blue
Plains plant soon will help re-
duce Potomac pollution. Col.
yelling said.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Charles Memories
Are Silent and Lonely

It's hard to have a handicap
when you're 8 years old.
Charles hearing loss will
be relieved substantially when
plans now being made bring a
hearing aid and classes in lip
reading.
The future holds promise
and warmth.
But his memories are blurs
Of half-communication.
HoSpitalized for some time
when he was younger, Charlie
emerged with permanent
hearing loss.
He was behind his class
mates in school work and in
social experience. He couldn't
always tell what the teacher
was saying-and it wasn't easy
to communicate with the other
children.
Charlie has been isolated at
home. too. There are very few
children in the neighborhood
to which the family moved re-
Gently. His father is sick in
the quiet house. His mother is
the sole support of the family
The nearest swimming pool
is miles away. Charles parents
can't afford the money for
carfare. A vacation Of any
kind is out of the question
unless Charlie can go to camp.
Encouraged at last by current
efforts to solve his problems,
Charles spirits would be given
an extra boost by the carefree
fun and good times there.

Evening Star Summer Camp

Scores Of Pending Bills
In addition. several other
meetings are scheduled by
House and Senate District sub
committees to move along
scores of pending bills, now
that the smell Of Congressional
adjournment in August is in
the air.
When the District budget ar
rived on Capitol Hill, requests
totaled $215.1 million and a SIS
million Federal payment was
asked Last week, the House
cut the total to $203.2 million
and the Federal payment back
to its level for the present year
at $50 million.
When the Pastore subcom-
mittce opened hearings on the
Senate side last week, the COM
missioners came armed with
justif1cations to restore $4,096,-
$50. They asked that the Fed
eral payment be increased to
$2l.5 million now and served
notice they would be back for
more assistance from the gov
eminent when proposed en-
ploye pay legislation takes ef-
feet.
Further Reductions
During the course of the
hearing, however, the commits
sionerS further reduced their
budget requests by $33O,0O0 by
indicating a further saving
could be effected in building
a proposed warehouse which
they told the House would cost
$2.2 million.
While the House eliminated
the warehouse from the bill,
the city heads asked Senator
PaStore to reinstate it at a
revised estimate of almost $l.9
millionaire saving being eff
fected by relocating the build
ing on the tract.
These revisions brought the
amount now being requested
to be restored down to $3.7
million.

Metro Study
By Political
Parties Urged
Nonportiscn Unit
Proposes Action
On NutioncI Scale
ny JOHN w. STEP
star star writer

80 - 1870
The Nations political parties,
backed by al levels Of govern
ment. should take the initiative
TO meet the complex and crit
ical problems arising from the
vast growth Of metropolitan
areas throughout the land.
This proposition came from
Frederick Gutheim, Washing
ton planner, at the closing ses-
sion yesterday Of a non-parti-
san citizens conference on
metro problems. The two-day
meeting. sponsored by the IN
ion for Democratic Action Ed
ucational Fund and American
University. was attended by
nearly 200 authorities and stu
dents OF urban affairs.
Mr.. Gutheim. staff director
for the Joint Congressional
Committee OH Washington Met
ropolitan Problems, asserted:
I'VE must get the political
parties to face these questions
take stands on them and write
them into their party plat
FORMS"
Lack Of Awareness Hit
He agreed with other speakers
that there is no evidence OF
any real Federal recognition OF
metropolitan problems or any
determination to coordinate
the work Of the many Federal
department along these lines. "
Throughout the four-panel
and round-table discussions
concern was voiced over the
general lack Of awareneSs and
interest in the startling post
war transformation of what
used to be mere big cities" into
sprawling suburban completes.
Somebody even dropped a
new word to describe it: met
roplex."
To spread this consciousness
through all walks of life, Mr.
Gutheim urged not only more
conferences of this nature but
activity on the part of every
type Of organization that has
q stake in the well-being OF
Americas TIA metros.
II think there has been gen.
eral agreement here that the
job must be started. even
though we can't see all the
way through to the end" he
said.
Pittsburgh Issue Cited
David Olbum, Pittsburgh
city councilman, said that
what success his city has had
so far in solving its metro ag-
gravations has been due largely
to acknowledgements efforts
between government politicians
and business interests.
you might call 1t a clandes-
tine or Surreptitious metropol-
itanism. Mr.. Olbum said. "Our
metropolitanism has been COM
ing in the back door, as it
were"
He recalled the central city's
failure to break through the
barriers Of all the autonomous
communities surrounding Pitts
burgh to get them committed
to a unified sewage disposal
system.
so strongly did they feel
about home rule" he said, that
they told us in effect they
wanted to keep even their own
sewage"
He added now many of these
left out" communities are be-
ginning to realize the value of
closer ties to the main city.
Some are even clamoring now
to get onto the sewage disposal
system now under construction.

Of the ZOO brought In requests
for sii5.000. This would In
clude $4,000 for restoration
OF animal paddocks and pens:
and plans and specifications
for an administration building
SIS, 800 and for an antelope
house, $4,000.
Senator Pastore indicated
strongly that his group would
restore at least some Of the
items sought by the commits
sioners and eliminated by the
House. He kept reminding each
city department head to cut
his requests TO the bone. en-
phasizing that he (Senator
Pastore), would have to Justify
each increase when he met
with House conferees on the
bill.
Draft Recommendations
The Pastore subcommittee is
expected to draft its recon-
mendations to the full appro-
priations committee one day
this week.
Senator Bible. Democrat of
Nevada, chairman OF the SEN
ate District Committee, said
he will ask for Senate approval
OF the Fourteenth Street Bill
tomorrow. Conferees agreed
last week to the Senate version
for a flxed-span, as opposed
to the House proposal for a
