They argued that residents

the college took over the prop

down the university's plea,
University officials today
said there was confusion over
their request as to the urban
renewal phase of the expan-
sion program.
In adopting a plan for con-
struction of new buildings on a
l9-block downtown campus,
the university had voted to
move ahead with the planning
of locally sponsored nom
assisted urban renewal prof.
ectS." The college then asked
the Commissioners, the Rede-
velopment Land Agency and
the National Capital Planning
Commission to approve the ex-
panSion plan in principle.
Legality Of Aid Denied
In his opinion on this plea,
Mr.. Gray said the Commission
erS have no legal power to aid
the university in acquiring
private property through any
condemnation procedure. In
addition, he said, authority for
drawing UP a general develop
ment guide for the city lies
with the planning commission
and not with the Commission
erS.
Therefore, the corporation
counsel said. the requested
action would not be legally
binding and it might be the
basis for a lawsuit later.
Today. university president
Oswald S. Colclough empha-
sized that the request to the
Commissioners did not embrace
any urban renewal plans. This
phase. he said, would be ham

A 15-member charter COM
last night unanimously
recommended against Airing
ton becoming a city at present.
But it said that city charter
should be put on the books so
that the county could incorpo-
rate without delay if it becomes
economically and politically
feasible"
Edmund D. Campbell, COM
mission chairman, said the
major reason for recommend
ing against incorporation was
loss Of about 81 million a year
in road funds under city status.
The recommendation was an
official announcement of the
commissions position as re-
ported by The Star several
months ago. The commission
has been studying the matter
and drafting a proposed city
charter for Is months.
Financial Loss Feared
Mr.. Campbell said the group
felt that generally speaking it
would be advantageous to in
corporate except for the finan-
cial loss in road allotments."
He said, however, that the
balance of power in the State
Legislature may shift in favor
of the urban areas after the
1860 reapportionment, in which
case the "city boy" may be
able to get through a revision
of the formula for allotting
road funds.
Under city status. Arlington
would lose much Of the State
aid it now gets for maintaining
roads.
Should the present State
formula for the distribution of
road funds be altered, or should
other factors relating to in
corporation change signifi-
cantly, 1t might become de-
sirable for Arlington to pro-
coed to incorporate without
delay" the commission said.

of the Pope's stone. Awards

where's the stone2"
His reply was, "It's 2
feet under the pavement at
Twenty-first and r streets
NV. In 1927, workmen ex-
cavating for a utility came
upon it. 1t was the stone

should be dug up again and
placed in the structure of

not be so cautious about

him within the hour.
He dismissed his secretary,
he closed the door and for a

WELL" he said, ''let me re-
fresh your memory. The
Washington Monument was
about $50 feet high early in
1854 when the stone was
stolen.
~'It was being built by the
Washington National Monu-
ment Society without the
help of public funds.
THE society suggested
through correspondence that
foreign nations might want
to contribute a stone to this

lean.

move to stimulate public in

struction materials.
