living in the District.
A Maryland or Virginia resi-
dent subject to the tax-5 per
cent of all net income over
SIS, 900 - cannot subtract the
payment from his State income
tax bill. The business tax can
only be counted in as a de-
ductable expense on the income
tax. For the District resident
the business tax formula pro-
vides for a smaller amount to
be taxed as personal income.
In his letter to Commissioner
Mclaughlin, Senator Butler
said the recommended tax

inatory and unjustif1ed" II

added:
obviously, I am opposed to
this tax. and I will do every
thing in my power to assure
residents of nearby Maryland
that it remains "a proposal
before the Board of Commits
sioners and nothing more"
If the budget is too large
for the city's population, the
Senator said, the Commission
ers should trim the spending
proposals rather than tax those
who must work in the District
Strong opposition to the pro-
posed levy recently was voiced
! by nearby Virginia's Republican
Representative Broyhill.

1t also said that "all aspects

Mr.. Lanigan, who would be
general manager of the expo
sition. noted however, that the
$3.50 million would, for the most
part. be spent by foreign gov
ernmentS and industry partici-
Ipating in the fair.
The fair corporation itself
would have to raise, through
a bond sale, about $139 million,
he said.
Support Promised
Already top industry leaders
in the major commercial CEN
tiers of the country have been
contacted, Mr.. Lanigan said,
and have assured the Washing
ton group of financial support.
He pointed out that the ma
Ijor cities, where the industrial
giants are located, would join
and make the fair at Washing
ton a national undertaking.
This is our unique position"
Mr.. Lanigan said.
He told the commission that
the local fair corporation now
holds options on "a substantial
portion of land" at the Largo
site, about 10 miles east of
downtown Washington.
He added that the group has
pledges of financial aid from
Baltimore Washington area
businessmen to be used to pick
up the options once the COM
mission designates the Nations
Capital for the fair.
The purchase price of the
land now under control would
be Sc or 81 million, he said.
The Largo tract is one of
three sites the group has in
mind for the final location of
the proposed fair, Mr.. Lanigan
added. The other two sites are
also undeveloped areas in
Prince Georges County.

Concerned by Secrecy
Leo UrbanSke, jr., liaison man

not want to take part in a

with real estate transactions OF

said that most meetings in Ar

Senator Butler to Fiqht
Nonresident Tax Plan

Maryland's Senator Butler
has served notice that he is
prepared to make a major effort
to block enactment of a pro-
posed District tax on income
from personal services.
The Commissioners staff has
recommended extending the
city's unincorporated business
franchise tax to self -employed
professional persons and Others
offering personal services.
In a letter to Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin, Senator
Butler, a Republican, pledged
that he will do everything in
my power" to defeat the pro-
posal.

seven tax increase proposals
under study by the Commits
sioners, would hit suburban

primarily land-oWnlng farmers,
say they don't want to give up
their homes for a fair site.
Others were unhappy about the
prospect of having SIS million
people. the estimated total at
tendance at a fair here. run
ming over the countryside. But
Prince Georges County plan
ners look to the proposed fair
as a "shot in the arm" for the
county as a whole.
The fairs exhibit and park
ing area would cover about
500 acres. An additional 4,50C
acres would be used as an outer
fringe zone for temporary hous-
ing, camping sites, trailer parks
and other service facilities.
Future Plans
Plans for the futuristic ex-
hibit area include a cluster Of
concrete platforms surrounding
a man-made lagoon. These
floating islands" would hold
the exhibit buildings. They
would be connected by q
ground-level transit system ano
foot bridges. Escalators would
carry visitors from the ground
level to the platform areas.
After the fair ends the ex-
hibit area would be the core
of a new city of 100000 popu-
lation. This permanent feature
would make the overall fair
a self liquidating venture. The
costly permanent improve
ments, uually demolished after
the six month fair ends, would
be left standing and a new
community would emerge.
Members of the commission
expressed interest in other at
fractions Washington may offer
for fair visitors here in 1864,
the date the local group is
seeking for the exposition.
They questioned Ralph E.
Becker, general counsel for the
National Cultural Center group
that plans a $50 million center
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-25

for the performing arts, about
financing of the structure.
Mr.. Becker assured the COM
mission that the public SUBJ
scription for funds for the CEN
ter will not interfere with the
private bond sales the fair
corporation will undertake. He
said the fair would accelerate
the drive for the center.
Mr.. Becker privately showed
the three commissioners q
drawing of the proposed Gull
tural center.
Stadium Plans
District Commissioner Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin pointed out
that the new municipal sta
dunn is also expected to be
ready before the 1864 date.
Commission members queried
the group on ADEQUATE housing
f n the millions of fair visitors
il Washington is selected.
Plans call for $4,000 units of
temporary housing to be placed
in the outer portion of the
fair site.
However, there are $4,000
normal housing Units available
in the Washington Baltimore
area, the commission was told,
more than is needed according
to estimates. The temporary
housing is primarily to pro-
vide a source of cheaper ac-
commodations.
Mr.. Bulls noted that he
would not like to find new
tempo buildings, going up in the
Washington vicinity that might
remain up as long as the World
War I tempos have lasted.
The fair boosters assured
him this would not happen.
Mr.. Bulls added he was glad
to see that the Washington
tempoS were gradually coming
down.

Land Agency's program for a
1.000-room hotel in Southwest
as part Of the William Zecken-
dorf project. He also spoke of
the projected motel at Wiscon-
sin avenue and N street NV,
planned by the Magazine
Brothers. He called attention
to these other projects:
The old home of The Eve
ming Star, at Eleventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV,
is to be converted into a down.
town motel, under plans Of
Joseph F. Nobel Co., builders.
An in-town motel is being
planned at Thomas circle, near
the old st. Johns College. Part
of the property is now a park
ing lot.
Mr.. Press said that these
projects are now being pushed
and would be ready for ueo ~
1864, the time mentioned for

Fair City q Life Goal
For Architect Gruen
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Stan Writer

The man who planned Wash
ington's world fair has lent 1t
international flair.
Victor Gruen was born in
Vienna. He has dreamed and
written about a model, urban
city since he studied architec-
ture in Austria.
Except for Hitler's putsch,
the Gruen dream now might be
a mountaintop reality overlook
ing the Vienna woods. He fled
the Gestapo in 1888. Abandoned
was his architectural career, his
own little theater, plays he had
written and friends who had
warned him to escape.
He arrived in New York, aged
35, with So in his pocket. He
had a few books, drawings and
photos and a single American
friend.
Drew Pavilion Plans
The friend, an actress he had
befriended in Vienna, guided
him to his first job-draftsman
for minor pavilions at the 1888
Worlds Fair in New York.
Today at Sc. Mr.. Gruen, an
American citizen, sees a chance
that his exhibit city can take
shape on 5000 acres of rolling
farmland in suburban Mary
land. 1t not only should draw
SIS million to a 1864 Washing
ton fair, but could be converted
to a city with all the con-
veniences of the future for
100000 permanent residents, to
his way of thinking.
Mr.. Gruen's thinking scars
beyond his speech, still dis
ciplined by a German accent.
But trained know-how accounts
for the excitement behind his
conciseness.
II am appalled, at the waste
Of human energy and inge-
nuity," he says.
THAT the best expressions of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-25

our arts and culture as are
exhibited at world fairs should
not continue to do good, that
they afterwards should be
kaput, that there should be
such economic waste, is ap-
palling."
Mr.. Gruen smokes and ges-
lures as he talks. He has black
hair, black eyes and black rim
med glasses.
1--WE know how to solve the
problem of urban sprawl. We
know how to plan a city. But
nobody has prayer" he says
Here. at last, we can start
a good, strong downtown core
that has all cultural, business
and administrative facilities.
We will have enough under
meath the ground to service
not only a fair but a big city
perhaps 100000 population.
II am dreaming of a bigger
city," he admits. And Mr.,
Gruen, fundamentally a de-
tailed planner, has statistics
to show that the burgeoning
Washington Baltimore metro
population will grow steadily
bigger.
Screen Belt" Seen
The fair administration head
quarters will be a city hall anc
the reception center, a con-
vention hall. TheaterS, con.
cert halls, fire stations anc
police precincts will be designed
for a city. not just a display
He emissions a downtown
shopping mall developed from
the terraced handicapped trimmed
by fair pavillions.
Enough land will be taken fol
the fair to promise trees, grass
and shrubs in what planners
call a green belt" around the
sparkling city. Mr.. Gruen wants
to save some strips for agricul-
tural land.
1--WE conceive the city like q
planetary SYSTEM" he says
You see, each community
within it is a star of some
sort"
Mr.. Gruen was hired a veal
ago by the Washington cor
poration formed to plan fair
He took the job, relying on his
permanent city concept as the
basis of plans.
200 Experts on Job
II told them I have an idea
too. But I won't tell them
what it is at first because il
is so exciting they will say il
is impossible" Mr.. Gruer
remembers.
He and his partner, Der
Southland, had wanted to doc.
ument the feasibility of the
dream city since they visual
lied it years ago near Sacra-
mento.
Given the Washington as
signment, they worked with 20C
experts in their firm, which
has Offices in New York anc
Los Angeles. They have &C.
cumulated what they figure il
proof that the city can be
converted on an economically
sound basis to investors, shop
keepers, international business
men and home owners.
