county involves a population
density policy - how many
apartments and how tall.
Studies to determine the future
policy are being made by the
planning department.
Nine Of the applications are
for classifications allowing rs

Inc. is asking for rezoning of a
6-acre tract for 10-story apart
ments on Old Dominion drive,
and Colonial Construction Co.
is asking for high rise coming on
2 acres about one-half block
west on Old Dominion.
High Rise" Provisions
The county board itself has
proposed rezoning for high rise
apartments on a 3sacre tract
now zoned commercial at Co
lumbia pike and Greenbriar
street. The board felt it would
rather have apartments there
than commercial developments.
Other high rise apartment
rezoning requests include tracts
on Washington boulevard across
from WaShington-Lee High
School. on Old Dominion drive
next to Potomac Towers and on
North Thirteenth street between
Taft and Scott streets.

quested for a 2.3 tract in the

Most Of these probably will be

involved in a suit by a land
owner whose commercial prop

One Proposal Is Unique
A unique proposal is one by
the county board to eliminate
a floating" 4-acre commercial
area from a 95-acre tract near
darlington.
The IS acres were rezoned
for garden-type apartments
several years ago by another
county board which also pro-
vided for a 4-acre commercial
area inside the tract but did
not specify its shape or location.
Because it could not identify
the exact location of the COM
mercial tract, the BOARD has
proposed to rezone the entire
IS acres to another apartment
classification IN order to elimi-
nate the spot business zone. The
tract is owned by Mrs. Allie s..
Freed, owner of the Bucking-
ham apartment development.
The tract involves land along
Four Mile Run near Shirling-
ton, adjacent to the county
property yard.
Headaches Loom for Board
Many of the apartment re-
zonings are likely to provide
headaches for county board
members. One of the major

and has been virtually un-

Congressional hearings will be
held on the controversial pro-
posals early in November. how
ever, and officials said last
night that before that time
local governing bodies probably
will be urged to hold full public
hearings in each jurisdiction on
the scheme.
Exploration Meeting
The session last night was the
first Of q series of six weekly
explanation" meetings. being
held at the Interior Department
by area planning officials who
drafted the plan.
We're here to explain the
complex and controversial plan
not to try to sell it," said
William E. Finley. National
Capital Planning Commission
director.
The first explanation"
dealt with a basic but relative
ly non-controversial feature-a
plan showing the patterns of
growth expected in the area by
1880, which were the basis for
estimating the travel demands
for the subways and freeways
proposed to be built by that
date.
Mr.. Finley said the major
reason for this regions present
traffic dilemma is a failure to
develop such a long-range inn
provement plan 20 years in the
past, and warned that public
apathy about looking 20 years
in the future is zone Of the
great problems we face today"
Another Million
The area 20 years from now,
the planners said. will be bas-
ically an extension Of the
present chracter Of the region.
with a heavy downtown en-
ployment and q further spread
of an extra million people re-
siding in the suburbs.
In question-answer session,
residents wanted to know why
the planners saw At to estimate
a detailed land-use plan for
1880. and to pattern a trans
portation system to At it,
rather than to lay out a desir-
able transportation system
through relatively open areas
which would attract new resi-
Dental growth around it.
Mr.. Finley explained that
strong development trends al
ready are under way and that,
for the most part, the plan re-
fleets these. In addition, he
said, public agencies by no
means have the power to exert
positive control over where pri-
vate development will take
place.
Road Space Questioned
Another questioner deplored
the purchase Of so much land
for such highway interchanges
as the one for Route $40 near
Pooks Hill in Bethesda, and
asked where the people viii
live" when highways take up
all the land. Robert s. Keith,
director Of the transportation
study, predicted that less than
half the available urban land"
viii be in development by 1880.
He said that, from a viewpoint
of land alone, there is enough
room in the area to support a
population Of 6 or z million
people.
Because last nights meeting
was entirely on the planning
aspects Of the transportation
program, officials discouraged
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-17

questions which dealt with such
controversial subjects as A.
nancing and the locations of
specific highway and subway
routes. Much more heat is ex-
pected to be generated at future
sessions which deal with these
subjects.
The meeting next Wednes-
day night will deal with Pres
ent and Future Traffic Needs. :"

cies depending on UGF for
support actually requested SO

finally selected.
The Government Unit quota
is SOS, 900 above last years
quota, but only SCOT higher
than the amount the unit actu-
ally raised.
Mr.. Warren praised Govern
ment workers for carrying a
major share of the burden" in
the drive, and for their con-
tinued dedication to the public
good.
Mr.. Warren said, I'VE in
Government service have rea-
son to know that effective
democracy can be stif1ed by
the attitude that says. I am
too busy with my own affairs. +"
Exploding Population
He dwelt at length on the
exploding world population,
and the relation of social prob
lens to it, which, he said. have
increased "even more dramat-
ically" than the swelling popu-
lation itself.
Human population has null
tiplied with incredible speed"
he noted. when Christ was
born, after perhaps 1000 CEN
turtles of mans history, there
were in all the spaces Of the
world no more than $50 mil
lion people"
At the present rate of in
crease. he observed, the world
population will reach 4 billion
by 1877.
Complex Social System
1t is not the mere increase
in number, but the fact that
"our increased numbers occupy
the same space and live in an
increasingly complex interde-
pendent social system" that has
created problems, Mr.. Warren
noted.
Problems that once were
personal have become social
ones, he said, which can be
solved only by organized effort.
Mr.. Warren was to be joined
on the platform by Secretary
OF Defense McElroy, chairman
of the Government Unit, and
Charles E. Phillips, president of
Equitable Life Insurance Co.
and general chairman of the
1859 UGF drive.

Well, it's come to pass,
after so many weeks.
But there is a catch to 1t.
Isn't 1t wonderful? There's
that change of pace.
You see it in your friends;
then notice 1t in yourself.
Things are stepping up.
The hooking birds are
singing in the morning as if
it were spring. And they can
be heard within the house.
The windows are open. The
air conditioner is turned of.
You get in your car and
welcome, rather than dread,
the heat within.
The sycamores are losing
their big leaves. So are the
cottonwoods along the Po-
tomac.
The lights cautioning is
miles an hour are flashing
near the schools.
The boys and girls of the
safety patrol with their
white belts and overtime
shoulder bands-called Sam
Brown belts in World War
ARE manning the corners.
The lady policewomen-
the term is not an anomoly
are back on the job.
The car radio keeps up a
constant barking about bar
gains before the arrival of
the 1860 models.
Girl cheer leaders in white
sweaters and short skirts are
practicing their leaps and
bounds in the stadium
behind George Washington
High School. The football
season is upon US.

The goldenrod is yellow.
The year is dying.
