A redevelopment official says
an enthusiastic and vigorous
citizenry and Government can
make Washington one of the
finest communities in the
world.
John r. Searles, jr., execu-
tive director of the District
Redevelopment Land Agency,
addressed the Rotary Club of
Washington yesterday at the
Mayflower Hotel. He listed
these special assets in WASH
ington: 1t is the capital of the
free world and a seat of gov
ernment, with fine buildings, a
good city plan and desirable
parks.
Mr.. Searles sees these dis
advantages: No single local
leadership in Government be-
cause control is divided between
Congress and the District Com
misSioners; difficulty in adopt
ing a single program and press
ing it to completion, and no
major industry.
alert business groups such
as yours can meet the chal-
lenge of decay" Mr.. Searles
told the Rotarians.
Mr.. SearleS expressed vigor-
Gus opposition to a House.
passed measure, sponsored by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, that would
delay additional redevelopment
here until so per cent of South
west renewal has been COM
pleted.
This legislation, Mr.. Searles
contended, would halt develop
ment of the Columbia Plaza
project in Foggy Bottom, now
that 80 per cent of the land
is in private ownership; bar
elimination of a bad slum near
Union Station. and delay the
Adams-Morgan project near
Eighteenth street and Colum-
bia road NV. Also, he said
RIA would be unable to give
assistance to groups seeking
to improve the downtown area
He said it will be four years
before so per cent of the South
west can be redeveloped.
Mr.. Searles said the city has
lost 100000 people in the last
10 years, but that less than
per cent of the loss was due tc
redevelopment in Southwest.
He said 5,514 families, rep
resenting some $4,000 people
were moved from Southwest
but that only 80 families
moved out of the city. Almost
all of these displaced families
are now housed satisfactorily
in the city, Mr.. Searles ex-
planned.

ON THE AIR
BY WILLIAM HOPPER


] guess I'm what you might
call a dramatic second banana
in television-and I think it's
the best spot in the bunch.
AS Paul Drake, the detective
who acts as a kind of runner for
Perry Mason, I can enjoy two
great acting fulfillments-I'm
creating a personality, and I'm
needed. BY that I don't mean
that I'm indispensable, either
as Bill Hopper or as Paul Drake.
But the second banana is a
necessary ingredient of a show
like ours. If there weren't a
Paul Drake, there'd have to be
a character like him.
In less than an hour of show
time, we have to tell a full
story-and sometimes a pretty
complicated one. Obviously,
there isn't time to include all
the action that is necessary to
the story and to full under
standing of the details by the
audience.
So they have to be explained
with different device. In the
Perry Mason show, you will
notice that many of the neces-
Sary details-too minute to be
presented in action but too i'm
portant to the solution to be
ignored-come out in converse
tions between the regular char
acterS.
In one short phone CONVEX
sation, Drake and Mason can
let the audience in on story de-
tails that might take many
minutes to enact on the screen,
That's why I say that I or
somebody like me is a needed
element in the show.
y y
AS a long time fan of the
Erie Stanley Gardner novels,
I have been fascinated to watch
this guy Drake develop from

the printed page to television
and back to the printed page
again. Either I'm getting to
be more like him, or he's get
ting to be more like me.
In the original Gardner r
books, Drake is much more
breezy, talkative and comic
relief-ish than he is on the TV
show. He's flasher, you might
say. In our scripts, a lot Of this
personality stuff had to be
toned down-moStly for the
reasons I've already described,
We have too much to include in
a single hour to explore and de-
velop a lot of characters. So
Paul has to be pretty business
like. He is as close to a legiti-
mate private detective as there
Is, I believe, in show business.
He works for Mason as a leg
man-doing research, tracking
down clues and gathering in
formation, and reporting these
things as briefly and as quick
ly as possible to his employer,
No fuss, no frills, no scenery
chewing.
Occasionally, I get a yen for
more action, for instance, when
my young daughter complains
that I don't "get in fights and
all those exciting things like
the other private eyes," But
that's just a nick at my father
ly pride, I suppose. Because ]
do get a kick out of all the
mail from actual private inves-
tigators who write to tell me
how much they enjoy the show,
and Paul Drake, because he's
for real.

with spiritual fervor, and the con-

true meaning of Christ Lives" Dr.
Massey, in a fOllOw-up to his Eas-

Follow Christ With Your Cross!"
His text was from Matthew 1924
2S. He reminded us of the three
crosses of Construction, Disappoint-
ment and Love which Christ had
to bear in order to fulfill His
mission. If we would follow Christ.
we too must bear these same
crosses, depending on the cross Of
Love to help us with the weight
of the other two.
Music for the morning service
was by the Senior Choir and
Gospel Chorus. The church re-
CGved five new members this
morning. They are Mr.. Samuel
