- HE long Halloween
b ~ weekend has passed
and the trick casual
ties were not too
- - - m a r X e d. T h e
UNICEF collection was done
in orderly fashion and by boys
and girls interested in gather
ing funds for other children
less fortunate. Friday evening
seemed to be the time for all
of those strange characters
who call in punches or in
pairs and they come from the
hinterlands and from close by
to fill their bags with the
sweets that they must feast
upon for days to come, so full
were they. BY actual count one
place was visited by eighty-six
boys and girls bent on taking
anything that was offered from
suckers to apples. That seems
a big number for any one place
and the fun soon is gone and
is replaced by wonder and a
little concern as to how long
ones supply of things will hold
out. Saturday was the big par
ade and the rain held off for it
and made the evening one Of
pleasure and interest. Another
Halloween is history and there
are sighs of relief from some
that it is safely passed.

Mall Parking
Ban Seen BY,
Plans Expert
Doxicdis Advises
Boring Cars il
Downtown Area

A visiting planning expert To-
day suggested that It may some
day be necessary TO prohibit
parking on the Mall.
c. A. Doxiadis. head Of an
international planning Arm
with headquarters In Athens.
Greece. told District ofiicials
elimination Of traffic congestion
In the downtown area win re-
quire bold steps.
He said that Washington
may be wen advised TO follow
the lead Of 10 other American
Icities which have banned cars
from all or part Of their central
business districts.
AS an alternative, the sug-
gested construction Of parking
facilities under the Mall. One
of the underlying themes OF
Mr.. Doxiadis' planning theories
is that the central part Of the
city should be built to serve
people and not automobiles. He
repeatedly suggested that
automobiles and people be
separated.
Mr.. Doxiadis, who last fall
made q study Of Washington
urban renewal plans under q
State Department exchange
program. gave the District Re-
development Land Agency his
final report today.
In his report. Mr.. Doxiadis
said that he was pleased to see
revised plans for Southwest
urban renewal projects called
| for higher densities-more
people per acre of land.
II don't think we should be
afraid of density" he said, "if
our planning organizes for
better living socially"
Mr.. Doxiadis said District Of
ficials should give future de-
velopment of Washington q d.
rection and not leave 1t TO
chance. He recommended that
future development be en-
couraged to the south Of the
city, along the Potomac River.
Mr.. Doxiadis, who has had q
part in building several new
cities in the Middle East. said
that the area between the Po-
tomac River and the Anacostia
should be reserved for housing
that could be later used for
Government office buildings.
The Federal City function, he
said, will continue to grow mo
matter what else happens"
