A brand-new type Of ultra
modern road-the "dual-dual"
highway-eventually may link
the new Chantilly Airport to
Washington.
Dual highways" those on

But the "dual-dual" - in

The mothers blood was put

Shortly afterwards. it was dis
covered that the blood lacked

as fibrinogen, a protein.
Since fibrinogen is a blood

Fall Study
Due on Issue
On Planning
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Proposals for a drastic
Shake-up Of Washington area
planning agencies are expected
to get congressional attention
next fall when q House Senate
committee takes up the forth.
coming 100000 regional trans
portation study report.
Chances for definite congress
sional action on any whole
sale planning reorganization
however. are believed by off,
Gals to be slight.
Planning reorganization was
thrown into the spotlight yes
terday by a controversial pro.
posal from the Washington
Board Of Trade which would
abolish the National Capita
Planning Commission and it.
sister agency. the National
Capital Regional Planning
Council.
To replace them. the board
called for a new law by Con-
gress which would form new
planning organizations and
place them under local instead
Of Federal control.
The major new agencies rec
commended would be:
/. "A planning department
within the District government
responsible only to the Com
missioners, to take over District
city planning functions Of the
NCPC.
2. A National Capital Metro
politan Planning Commission
to replace the present Regional
Council to carry out broad
planning programs for the
metro region as a whole.
In addition, the board pro-
posed formation of a special
Office within the White House
to resolve planning conflicts
among various Federal and
District agencies.

they plan to hold no separate

Schools Are Key Issue

Schools were the key issue in
the campaign. The contro-
versy was triggered by the city
councils refusal two years ago
to permit a referendum on a
$3.50. 900 school bond issue pri-
marily to expand George Mason
Junior-Senior High School.
Mr.. Hansbarger opposed the
referendum.
Since that time, the school
issue gained momentum by:
l. The councils refusal to re-
appoint two school bond issue
supporters to the school board
last year.
2. Shift Of the seventh grade
back to the elementary school
by a Az school board vote over
the objections of Supt. Irwin
Schmitt. The change is due to
take effect next fall.
3. The boards elimination of
six special services teachers,
plus cuts made in the 1959-60
budget by the school boards
four-member conservative ma
jority. and. subsequently, by the
City Council.
Other issues in the campaign
were "cronyism" in government,
taxes and coming questions.
When the new council mem
bers take office September /,
they will have no immediate
redress from the recent con-
troversial school actions. The
councils naming of John
Sadtler to the school board
Monday night for a three-year
term will keep conservative
control Of the board until
1861.
Mr.. Hedetniemi said. how
ever. that the new council
can try persuasion on the
school board"
He added, Il am not pre-
pared to say we have to wait
two years before the school
situation can be remedied."
