and appeals to a jury, during
the many months that elapse
between condemnation and a
jury decision, he loses the
monetary difference between
what the RIA told him his
property was worth and what
it deposited.
However, as two previously
unpublished cases imply, the
wait for a jury judgment some
times can be worthwhile for
an owner. For example:
The RIA took-over the Zion
Baptist Church in 1855, stating
that $4,000 was Just compen-
Sation for it. @
The church employed an at
torney. John Laskey, and pre-
pared to fight for a higher
price.
According to Mr.. Laskey
when the case was ready for
trial, the judge, perturbed that
the Government and a church
should be 'haggling in court,
persuaded attorneys for both
to attempt to negotiate a set
tlement. .
Mr.. LaSkey says that he and
Government attorneys then
agreed that $240,000 would be
a fair price. This was salts
factory to the church. But the
board of directors of the RIA
acting upon the recommends
ton of subordinate officials, re-
ijected the settlement.
The jury then convened and
awarded the church $290,000.
The Government condemned
the Rock Creek Ginger Ale co
plant in 1851. depositing $149s
600 as just compensation fol

that this price, was unfair anC

A condemnation jury con-

and its fixtures were worth
ordered the Govern
'ment to pay an additional SILL

The RIA contends these
cases represent extreme exam
pies of jury awards.
Some Fare Well in Court
But, according to an RIA es-
innate. homeownerS who fight
the Government in court gen.
orally fare pretty we'll.
In correspondence with a
Senator, the agency estimated
that jurieS awarded such own
erS IN project area B an average
of Is per cent more than its
maximum offer.
And in defense of its acqui-
sition policies, the RIA FREE
quently mentions that if an
owner thinks its priceis unfair,
he can try to persuade a jury
to increase it. :.+,' '''"H
But the attempt consumes
money and time. "
The owner, of course, must
pay an attorney. "JufieS are
likely to place more credence
in his claim that he is not get
ting a fair deal if he can show
that qualified appraisers think
his property is worth more
than the Government offers.
There appears to be no rigid
schedule of fees charged by APP
praiSers. But estimates pro-
vided by local appraisers indi-
cate that the minimum fees an
owner should ordinarily expect
to pay for evaluation of prop
erty involved in condemnation
are: 500 to $3.50 for the APP

spect property physically to
bring their appraisals up to
date because land values in
Southwest have not changed
significantly during the last
three years.
1t said, too. that its officials
visited the property of many Of
the owners who requested re-
appraisals and determined that
there had not been sufficient
changes in it to justify the eX-
penSe of another assessment.
In negotiations. the RIA tells
property owners that it bases its
offers on values established by
its appraisers. In a letter. to
one owner, it stated that it could
not offer more than the maxi
mum value set by its appraisers.
Mr.. Searles says, however,
that although the RIA relies
heavily upon evaluationS by its
appraisers, it is not bound by
them. He says the letter was
misworded.
Deny Coercion Charge
Some Southwest residents
have accused RIA negotiators
of trying to coerce less informed
property owners by warning
them of the expenses they will
incur by going to court if they
do not accept the Government
offer.
Mr.. Searles and his colleagues
heatedly assert this charge is
simply untrue.
They say that as public Of
f1cials they have a duty to adj
wise owners of procedures that
will follow their rejection of an
RIA offer. But he declares
that this advice is offered with
out any thought of intimida-
ton.
Owners also say that the
Government tries to conceal
from them the fact that the
Justice Department. often
agrees to pay them more than
the RIA declared their property
was worth.
Whatever validity or lack of
it this contention may have,
a random check of court rec
ords indicates that the Justice
sometimes agrees
to pay appreciably more than
the RIA said property was
worth.
For instance, on October 4,
1855, the Government agreed to
pay $500 for property the
RIA said was worth $l,500.
Recently, it agreed to pay
$10,850 for a parcel the RIA
said was worth $7,40O and
So, 700 for a parcel the RIA said
was worth $4,000. 1t also agreed
to pay $4,000 for property the
RIA said was worth $28,795.
Some owners thus have I'M
dergone the following expert
ence The RIA offered to buy
their property for a price which
it insisted was fair. When they
rejected the offer. the RIA
took the property. deposited
less money than it had offered
and said the lower sum was a
fair price. The Justice Depart
ment subsequently agreed that
a third and higher price was a
fair one. Other owners have
waded through this bargaining
process to the courtroom where
a jury decreed that a fourth
and still higher price was the
fair one.
This makes property owners
wonder which is the fair price,
they say.
Appraisers Tied Up by RIA /
In a final major complaint,
Southwest owners say the RIA
has tiled up" the majority Of /
expert appraisers in the area i.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-22

higher the fees are likely to be.
Because the Government
presents in court reports from
two appraisers, attorneys often
advise homeowners to employ
two appraisers. ~
The owner, of course, must
subtract fees paid to attorneys
and appraisers from the flair
price" the court orders the
Government to pay him.
Pressure" Case
Another complaint from
Southwest owners embodies the
charge that Government Off
/ Gals, tough on the little man,
become strangely anenable
when confronted with pres
sures from Capitol Hill. A re-
cent case involve a landlord
who apparently knew Senator
Harry Byrd of Virginia.
He paid $500 for a house
in Southwest late in 1856, after
the area had been publicly
marked for redevelopment and
houses in it doomed to demoli-
ton. He spent an undisclosed
sum for Improvements and
brought in tenants.
During negotiations, the RIA
offered $3.50 for the house,
insisting that it was worth no
more. The owner rejected this
offer and the RIA took his
property last year. In doing so
tit again said that $3.50 was
( Just compensation for it.
However, after Senator Byrd
asked the Justice Department
to review the case. the Gov
eminent decided another look
might be appropriate. 1t or
dered reappraisals, instructing
its appraisers to use "a diff
ferent approach to value
They did, and on December 30
1858, the Government agreed
to pay the owner $4,000.
Concerning the transaction
Mr.. Searles says: This is ar
unusual case. l think it is
terrible, and I don't like it.
Says U. S. MiSled Them
Some eowners also
charge that their relations with
the Government have been
clouded because the Ria mis-
led them. AS an example of
transformation, they cite a
booklet that the RIA has
circulated in Southwest. 1t
says:
IF you are an owner or land
lord. you should maintain nor
NAL repairs and Improvements
and keep the receipted bills
for all such costs. These will
be taken into account in a
final appraisal made at the
exact time your property Is
bought. This second appraisal
changes in the market value
of property"
However, numerous owners
whose property was bought or
condemned last summer say it
was visited by RIA appraisers
in 1855 and never again. Some
say that they repeatedly re-
quested reappraisals, but we're
told they were not justified.
Others report that when they
displayed receipts for repairs
or Improvements, they were
told that these had not added
to the market value of their
property.
Asked about the booklet. the
RIA initially insisted that its
statement is correct and that
appraisers do check property
again a month or two before
it is acquired.
However, after consultation
with the Justice Department,
the RIA said that appraisers
do not necessarily have to in

MacMillan Gets
 Top-Level Greeting At Leningrad

LENINGRAD, R - British Prime Minister Harold MacMil- Ian arrived in Leningrad Saturday to find surprise top-level Soviet delegation waiting to greet him. It was headed by First Deputy Premier Mikoyan and Foreign Minister Gromyko.
 A British spokesman said Mac Milan had no advance notice that Mikoyan was joining him for his two-day visit to Leningrad.
 A British official said that Mi koyan had mentioned earlier in the week that he might come. to Leningrad but, as in the case of Soviet Premier Khrushchev's trip to Kiev, the British were later told these plans had been dropped
 Khrushchev cancelled a trip to Kiev with the British leader, pleading he had to see a dentist about a toothache. That same day he received an Iraqi delegation at the Kremlin, and many observers said Khrushchev had a "diplo- matic toothache"
 Mikoyan was in a gay mood as he waited on the ramp and greeted MacMillan. Both ex- changed friendly remarks before MacMillan went off with Lenin- grad officials to inspect a brightly uniformed guard of honor.
 The appearance of Mikoyan was especially surprising in view of the fact that he implied Friday night that MacMillan was respon- sible for the chill on British-So- viet talks in Moscow by taking a tough line" on Germany.
 Mikoyan also voiced a warning that if the West does not arrange a peace treaty with Germany and settle the Berlin issue, the Soviets will sign a separate pact with East Germany. The Western pow CTS do not recognize the Commu- mist East German state.

The Question Is How!

II YNDON JOHNSON, the Senate Majority Leader, L says: Americans are a can-do, will-do people. They believe in progress and growth They believe in ever-higher income and earnings for all the people. And they want tomorrow to be far better than yes terday.''
 Everyone will agree with such general objectives. The question is how to reach them
 If are to have ever-higher income and earn ngs and if tomorrow is to be better than yesterday must have expanding and improving economic machine That must have tax policies, for instance, that will encourage investment and risk taking It means, above all, that we must have a climate which is favorable to the growth of businesses of all kinds and all sizes.
 Whether we will have such climate will in large part depend the actions and attitudes of the Con- gresS of which Senator Johnson is so influential member.

Alaska House Has Bill Providing for Vacancy of Governors Office

JUNEAU, R - A bill providing method of declaring the office of Governor vacant was introduced in the House Friday.
 The bill provides that if the Governor has been unable to per form his duties for six consecu- tives months the Senate should adopt formal motion finding him incapacitated.
