A number of St. Paul people

Price for Plaza Land
May Near $40 a Foot

William zeckendorf, presi-
dent of the New York realty
/ firm OF Webb g. Knapp, prob
ably will be asked to pay the
highest price yet for slum-
cleared land for his Tenth
Street Mall and Plaza project.
Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat of Michigan, who spon-
sored a bill to change dras-
tically Washington urban re-
newal procedures, said he had
assurances from the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency that the %
acres in the Plaza area would
go for a price comparable to
that which would be received
through public bidding.
Mr.. Rabaut, who is chairman
of the House District Appro-
priations Subcommittee, long
has contended the RIA has not
been getting enough money Tor
it's land. His bill would require
RIA to dispose of the land
through public bidding.
Although the exact price set
on the Plaza by RLA's ap-
praiSers was not disclosed, it is
expected to be in the neighbor-
hood of $40 a square foot. This
compares with the SO a square
foot Webb & Knapp paid for
the Town Center land. 1t would
mark a new high for that big
a parcel of land.

could afford to go ahead with
the Plaza project if the land
price was that high. John r.

Congressional action on the
Districts spending and revenue
items leaves the city $8.5 mil
lion short of needed funds for
the current fiscal year, accord
ing to latest estimates by
budget officials.
The city has only $8.7 million
available to pay for salary
increases totaling So million
and the $50 million supple
mental spending measure.
Today, the Commissioners
budget aides would not COM

might take to ease the fiscal
squeeze.
1t is virtual certainty, how

lof the RIA, said, "Mr. zecken-
dorf can afford to pay the fair
market price"
Mr.. Rabaut said he received
RIA assurances about the price
of the land after he persuaded
the House leadership to bring
up bill authorizing the bridg-
ing of Ninth street S.W. by a
1,000-room hotel planned as
part of the Plaza project.
The bill had passed the Sen
ate easily but then was shelved
by the House District Commit
tee on Monday after several
citizens objected to it. RIA
said the Plaza project could
not proceed unless the bridg-
ing authority was granted
by Congress. The House passed
the measure last night and it
cleared the Senate shortly af-
terWard.
Webb & Knapp plans to
build, beside the hotel. a world
communications center and
four office buildings in the
Plaza area. The proposal, sub
mitted to RIA on June 2, 1859,
is expected to cost between $50
and $85 million.
The only major obstacle re-
naming appears to be getting
agreement on the land price.
The expected top price would
hit Webb & Knapp at time
when it is selling several prop
critics in an effort to collect
cash to support its sprawling
empire of building projects.

STARTS IN KINDERGARTEN
Melinda Goes to School

/
Among the 100000 public
school children who are parad-
ing back into school today as
the first fall classes in the
Washington area open their
doors, are about 1,500 in Ar
lington-along with their har-
ried parents-who are trying
something new: kindergarten.
I was a parent of one of
these children as Arlington
launched it's kindergarten pro-
gram with the beginning of the

Are you ready?" I said to
my daughter Melinda, S, about
four hours after everyone had
risen to get her ready.

So we departed, and her
younger brother cried because
he wanted to go. and she cried
because she didn't, and her
mother cried to see them cry
and I kept my head, fortun-
ately, because I had to drive.
As we drove, she wanted to
know if the teachers would be
mice. Then it came again:
"I have changed my mind.
I don't want to go to school"
Don't be silly. Everyone
has to go to school. Even i

ISUPPOSE THAT, the clear
intent of Congress in the

is that equal time should be
accompanied by equal space

going to work out that way
here. And that is not the
fault of Mr.. Herbert Klein.

makeup can weight the great
debate.
But questions from male
reporters, which Mr.. Klein
though without the slightest
indication of annoyance
was unable to answer, got
down to Mr.. Nixon's paying
$34 a day out of his own

Renewal Forces
Win Victory on
Project in S.W.
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star STAFF Writer

Urban renewal leaders early
today won a victory with last
minute congressional approval
of a plan to bridge Ninth street
S.W. with a 1,000-room hotel.
The Senate without objec-
ton cleared for presidential
signature an authorizing bill
for the renewal project which
had passed the House few
hours earlier.
Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat of Michigan, who played
a leading role in the successful
legislative move, hailed the
measure as promise of signifl-
cant returns to the District
both in Southwest rebuilding
and taxes.
The projected hotel, he
pointed out, is part of an $50
million Sax-producing mall
plaza plan of Webb & Knapp,
New York developers, which
city officials have been anxious
to get rolling as soon as pos
sible.
Critical of Renewal Plan
The Michigan legislator, a
sharp critic of the city's re-
newal program and particularly
of rebuilding delays. was in
strumental in arranging an
end of session compromise
which separated the Ninth
street project from other con-
troversial changes proposed in
existing renewal law.
Mr.. Rabaut's aid to renewal
sponsors headed by Andrew
Parker, chairman of the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land
Agency, and John R. Searles.
| jr., agency director, was given
while a renewal bill of his own
was dying.
The Michigan House mem
ber recently won House ap-
proval of a measure which
would have put substantial
curbs on the present powers of
the redevelopment agency. The
bill was shelved by the Senate
District Committee, however.
Amendments Shelved
/ At the same time, the Senate
unit Joined the House District
Committee in pigeonholing, at
least for the present. a group
of amendments proposed by
renewal leaders which would
have broadened the agency'S
authority. The Senate unit
has ordered a survey of the
renewal picture as a prelude
to further action later.

Committee, piloted the COM.

on the news ticker read:
Press conferences, Pierre

Old Senate OfI1ce Building;
Herbert Klein. 3 p. m, Room
S57, Old Senate ONCE Build
ing"
One of these men will be
the James Hagerty of the
next administration.
Why not put in a full days
work and meet both of them?
Reporters filed into 312
shortly after IL when a
Senate messenger finally
came around to unlock the
door. Mr.. Salinger appeared
shortly afterward. He is a
chunky chap who was wear
ing a summer jacket of olive
green.
AS we learned from him
later, he is 5 feet 8 and
weighs.1S5. He has vigor-
ous'thickness right down to
the fingertips. At 8, like
Mozart, he was a prodigy at
the piano. He still plays the
instrument.
He has brown hair and
brown eyes. His ears, which
hug his head closely, go up
to a peak like those of the
great God Pan. In his right
hand he holds a cigar, which
frequently goes out. He keeps
a Matchbox in his left hand
to relight it.
Mr.. Salinger, as the cogno-
scenti are aware, is Senator
Kennedy'S press secretary.
He is S5 years old, born in
San Francisco. A hotshot
reporter on the West Coast,
he came east to write the
Teamsters Union story and
met brother Robert Kennedy.

THE PRESS CONFERENCE

THE PRESS CONFERENCE
was a lot of fun, as are most
Democratic events. George
Dixon remarked that a COM
. mittee of baseball players
and other athletes had been
formed by Nixon, how was
Kennedy doing?
Mr.. Salinger was able to
name a pitcher for the Mil
waukee Braves Who had
helped out in the Wisconsin
primary.
There was some discussion
about arrangements for the
coming Tv debates. A petite
brunei correspondent asked
about makeup. Would it be
against the rules? That
would be very unfair to the
Vice President, who has a
heavy beard.
Mr.. Salinger said he did
not think makeup would be
an issue.
Mae Craig of Maine news
papers and TV fame wanted
to know whether there would
be commercials. Mr.. Salinger
said that two networks had
offered to telecast the de-
bates without them.
Mrs. Craig remarked that
an ad for a deodorant got in
to the middle of Mr.. Nixon's
appearance on the Jack Paar
show.
Jack. Bell of Associated
Press asked was there any
thing wrong with deodorants.
Mrs. Craig said that deodor-
ants were all right in their
