Gonzaga Wants to Stay
The Commissioners also were
asked to consider several re-
quests to spare Catholic
churches and schools in the
Northwest urban renewal area.
The Rev. William A. Horigan,
81. principal of Gonzaga High
School, first block of I street
NV, asked that the prepara-
tory school be permitted to re-
main where it is and that If
possible redevelopment authori-
ties provide additional land for
purchase as athletic fields.
Attorney William B. Jones,
representing the Archdiocese Of
Washington, requested that
Immaculate Conception
Church, Eighth and N streets
NV. the Fides Settlement
House at 1854 Eighth street
NV. and other church property
be spared.
Officials Reassured
John Searles, RIA director,
assured both the Gonzaga and
Immaculate Conception Church
officials that their properties
would not be taken. He said
that although the preliminary
plan which the RIA is asking
the Commissioners to approve
shows park and public school
uses for the church properties,
they would not be condemned.
The area under construction
in today'S hearing is bounded
generally by u street and Flor
ida avenue on the north. the
Washington terminal at North
Capitol street on the east, N
street, Massachusetts, avenue
and K street on the south and
Fourteenth street on the vest.
The preliminary plan is a
broad outline showing proposed
land uses, such as residential,
commercial, park. schools and
public housing. Some of the
more deteriorated sections are
to be entirely cleared under the
plan and others are to be re-
habilitated.
About $50 persons attended
the morning session of the
hearing.

We learned that the ship

Home Rule Raises Issue
Of Constitutional Bar
BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star staff Writer

The question of whether home rule would be in line with
the Constitution has finally edged enough to become
issue
Opposition to form of home rule from the senior
members of the House District Committee fell this line
yesterday.
Chairman Mcmillan Democrat of South Carolina as well
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-29

On one SIDE OF the rope sat
to make a big enough show of
strength to force some kind of
a home rule bill through Con-
greSs. More than 600 clamored
for admission from the corridor.
On the other side of the rope,
senior members of a House Dis
trict Subcommittee charged
home rule was unconstitutional.
House sponsors were seeking to
gag" debate on the floor, and
didn't care enough about their
proposals to defend them in
person at hearings, charged
Subcommittee Chairman Davis.
Democrat of Georgia.
Only four witnesses testified
- Democratic Representatives
Multer of New York and ReuSs
of Wisconsin, Republican Rep
resentative Springer of Illinois,
and Katie Louchheim, Demo-
cratic national committeeman
an for the District.
Plea for Any Bill
The Congressman talked up
their bill to make the District
a territory, with a PRESIDENT
ally-appointed governor and an
elected legislative assembly.
Mrs. Louchheim entreated COM
mitteemen to report any bill
"affording almost a million
Americans the right to self
government" but didn't back a
specific proposal.
Pending are % bills, many
identical, that reduce them
selves to four separate systems
of home rule. They are, besides
the territorial scheme:
/. An elected mayor and
nine-member city council, en-
powered to decide how schools
should be run. Passed by the
Senate, 80 to Is, this month, the
bill is the fifth cleared in the
Senate in the past decade with
out House action.
2. An almost identical pro-
posal, except that the school
board, as well as the mayor and
council, would be elected.
3. A five-member commission.
Candidates would be nominated
by the President and elected by
city residents.
Congress would retain veto
power if any of the four dis
placed the present presidenti-
ally-appointed commission form
of government.
Multer's Testimony
Inside the hearing room,
Representative Multer did the
same tightrope act demanded
of all home rule proponents.
BY testifying, they demon
strated their faith that the
Davis Subcommittee would act
on home rule legislation. Stimuli
taneously, they championed a
move underway to dislodge a
bill from the subcommittee and
force a floor vote. This move
assumes the subcommittee will
pigeon-hole the bill and block
a vote.
Mr.. Multer said he would file
tomorrow a petition calling on
the House to vote on the terri
torial measure, under rules set
in a resolution now before the
House Rules Committee.
A majority of House mem
bers sitting, or 218, would have
to sign the petition to force a
vote by skirting the committee.
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
branded the resolution as lone
of the most stringent gag rules
ever brought before the House. +"
So did Democratic Representa-
tives Mcmillan. District COM
mittee chairman. and Mr.. Davis.
The rule would limit debate
on the 83-page bill to one hour.

Dancing Is No Longer Simple, Man

Danclng-to one who hasn't
danced much since a muSket
ball nipped his toe at Gettys-
burg-has grown horribly more
complicated than the old re-
liable one-two-three. one-two-
three.
The instructions for moving
the feet through a typical
modern dance routine go some
thing like Forward, open,
chase, turn around, boo doc

Of course, man.
These were the instructions
one teacher of jazz dancing was
giving his eager class of $50

Shoreham Hotels west ball
room yesterday.
Ordered Melee
The ordered melee of waving
arms, swaying bodies and kick
ing legs was one of the more
striking features of the 18th
convention of the Dance Mas
tiers of America.
On other days in other, rooms
of the hotel through August 8,
you can find dance-master
sessions for baton twirlers,
polite society dancing and the
classical ballet. But put any
of these types beside the mod
eln jazz class and they seem
like a reStful day in the
hammock.

Northwest Project Delay Asked;
Southwest Progress Criticized
BY ALFRED ALIBRANDO
Star stan Writer

Commissioners hearing plans for redeveopment Of
834ace Northwest Washington today brought forth
some bitter complaints against the cys slum clearance
gram.
Attorney William T. Hannah, representing the Urban
Renewal Committee of the Washington Board Trade asked
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-29

the Commissioners TO delay the
Northwest projects until the
540-acre Southwest redevelop-
ment undertaking is 10 per
cent completed.
1--WE dhe Board of Trade)
are alarmed at the manner
in which urban renewal has
been applied in Washington"
he said. After eight years, all
we have in Southwest Wash
ington are some plans that are
constantly being changed"
Mr.. Hannah said only about
l per cent of the land ac-
quired by the District Redevel-
opment Land Agency has been
rebuilt since Slums were torn
down. He was referring to the
completion of Capitol Park
Apartments.
The Rev. c. Shelby Rocks,
chairman Of the Urban League
Housing Committee, questioned
a change in the language of the
Northwest urban renewal plan.
He said it previously read that
the policy would be to "estab-
fish balanced and protected
residential neighborhoods for
all income groups"
Qualification Asked
He said the revised plan now
states the area will be re-
developed ito carry out private
and public improvements
through a renewal program
which provides for systematic
and orderly development of the
area in harmony with the
financial and housing resources
of the District" Mr.. Rocks
said his group wanted to know
what this means, and how
much middle and low income
housing the District plans to
provide in Northwest Wash
ington.
He said the Urban League
was concerned because of the
experience in Southwest Wash
ington.
The announced detectives
for Southwest all included
housing for every income
group" he said: Persons then
occupying the area were sup
posed to receive high priority
in returning to the area. We
all know now that many per-
sons will never see Southwest
Washington again. Housing

Der West A. Hamilton today as
sailed the Redevelopment Land
Agency's relocation practices
during an inspection of newly
completed school construction.
Col. Hamilton, chairman of
the boards Buildings and
Grounds Committee, accused
the slum clearance agency of
moving persons out of the
Southwest redevelopment area
ahead of any need"
He said buildings have been
torn down and persons diSpos-
sessed, but no new dwellings
are taking their place.
1.-THE people of the Southwest
were thrown to the four winds, "
he said. They were dispos-
sessed before adequate provi-

The
Rambler
-. Boards
A Toll Ship
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Just about the most beau
tiful ship Of all those that
have called at this port is
now berthed at one Of the
Maine avenue piers.
She is the barquentine
Mercator, a Belgian training
ship for cadets destined to
be officers in the little Bel
gian' Navy or the much larger
Belgian Merchant Marine,
She is at Pier S and will
be open to the public tomor-
row from 10 am. until 5
pm.
The Rambler went aboard
yesterday-and 1t was an ex-
perience.
This training in sails is
carried on by European
navies. To the Aandlubber,
the idea that youth should
waste time learning to handle
a sailing vessel more than a
century after Robert Fulton
seems silly.
But let that landlubber
buy just a 36-foot cabin
understanding he val
ues because they cost $1,000
e foot-and he will realize
in berthing it, or in any
other tight situation, that
air pressure, or wind, is just
as powerful as tide or wave.

OvercrOwding Reported

Col. Hamilton said the RIA
practices also are creating over
crowding in many areas of the
city.
People have had to relocate
themselves as best they could, "
he said. "Ir many cases they've
gone in for dual occupancy.
"You see six or eight kids
in front of a small dwelling.
What are you going to do about
it? They have to live some
where"
Meanwhile, he pointed out,
large areas in the Southwest
are deserted, their inhabitants
displaced.
Il can't see why they're tear
ing down the whole Area C
when they have no immediate
plans for it," he said.
Then he added, They GER
tainly are complicating our
school, situation"
Col. Hamilton'S criticism
arose as he and other school
officials Travelled between the
sites of two new school build
ingS. One was the Handley
Elementary School, Sixth and
Chesapeake streets Sc.
Capacity Rolls Seen
Its % clasSrooms are de-
signed to handle 848 students
and eliminate overcrowding at
nearby Congress Heights
Draper and Simon Elementary
Schools. Principal Fern H. ia
cobb expects a capacity enroll
ment in September.
However, a 500-unit housing
project is being built in the
area to accommodate persons
displaced by urban renewal and
highway programs. The project,
along with other new construc-
ton in the area is expected to
overtaX schools.
No new 1chool construction
is planned for that area in the

OUR NAVAL ACADEMY
at Annapolis gave up the
use of large sailing vessels
for training not long after
World War I. Now our mid
shipmen learn sail naviga-
ton in small boats. The only
sailing ships that come up
the Bay, and the occasion is
rare, are training ships of
foreign navies.
This barquentine has
grace. Her slender silhouette
suggests she could outrun
anything in sail her size or
bigger. She is, as all bar
quentineS, square-rigged on
her foremost, fore and aft,
or schooner rugged on the
other two maStS.
Don't get the idea that
this vessel is an antique. She
is a 20th-century ship, a
reproduction and an i'm
provement on older forms.
She has a steel hull and steel
maSts and timber boomS.
She also has radio and
radar and depth finders as
well as the older aids to
navigation, compass, sex
tant, etc. And her helm is
a wheel.

old cadet, Jan Coen, a stall
