Court House Area
Ex xpansion Urged
Consultunt
Submits Plan
To Arlington
BY DANA BULLEN
star Stan Writer

A plan calling for additional
Office buildings near the Ar
lington Courthouse was pre-
sented to the Arlington Plan
ming Commission yesterday by
Consultant George C. Smith.
Eleven blocks of Office build
ings are outlined on a map in
cluded in Mr.. Smiths report.
Several Of the blocks contain
offices already, but most now
are used for homes or stores.
1t would be necessary to
close a number of streets and
combine existing blocks to
form the IL, larger-size blocks
suggested In the plan. Tom
Moore, planning director, said
the proposals follow the Court
house area plan tentatively
approved by the county board
in November, 1858.
The Office building district
would include both sides Of
Wilson boulevard from North
Barton street to a point east
OF the Courthouse and again
extend south to North Thir-
teenth street.
Parking Areas Arranged
The plan also calls for county
parking on two blocks in front
or the Courthouse and behind
the Courthouse between North
Adams street and North veitch
street north Of North Four
teenth street.
The area in front of the
Courthouse is now used for
parking. but a builder has an.
nounced plans to construct an
eight-story office building on
part Of the land. The county
board will consider reducing
the height level to block con-
struction Of the Office buildings
at its rezoning meeting Feb
ruary 4.
The two blocks proposed for
county parking behind the
Courthouse are now occupied
by homes. but the county has
already purchased some Of the
residences.
The plan suggests a second
Government office building
east Of North Barton street
between Wilson boulevard and
North Fourteenth street. The
plan does not outline what type
OF Government building is rec.
commended. however, but loca-
ton Of a post ONCE in the
Courthouse area has been sug.
gested recently by Representa-
tive Broyhill.
Rezoning Held Essential
Also suggested by Mr.. Smith
is rezoning Of land north of
Wilson boulevard and east of
North Pierce street to accom-.
modate a chain grocery store
and several other retail outlets.
The plan proposes rezoning
Of a number of blocks along
Wilson boulevard from CO to
C-3. This would increase
building height limits from IS
feet to rs feet.
Mr.. Smith said that the To-
cations are unsuited for the
development of retail stores
such as could be built under
the present CO coming.
He also said that about so
houses in the area have been
converted to business use and
present "a very poor effect"
The report is the 18th OF
a series Of commercial area
studies being prepared in Ar
lington by Mr.. Smith. The
Planning Commission is ex-
pected to discuss the plan

April Population Count
To Be DecentroIized
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
star star Writer

Practically every neighbor-
hood in. the Washington area
win have its own census head
quarters when the big popula-
ton count begins April /.
In almost all cases these
neighborhood "outposts" will
be in the homes Of census
workers.
It is part Of the decentralized
design Of the demonstrating
organization.
The numerous substations to
be spread out through the
community are to be manned
by "crew leaders"-the field
commanders who will direct
and double-ch the census
foot soldiers, the "enumera-
tors" who will do the actual
census taking.
Crew Leaders
Each crew leader will have
some IS to 20 census takers
under his or her command.
CAS- is the case with enumera-
tors, the crew leaders are ex-
pected to be mostly house.
wives.)
Throughout the Washington
area, including nearby Mary
land and Virginia counties,
there will be about 100 crew
leaders setting up their home
headquarters.
Regional supervisors report
no difficulty in filling these
posts. Applicants have been
coming in at a steady pace al
though some recruits for crew
leader positions in outlying
areas are still needed.
Each crew leader will be as
signed to an area near his or
her own neighborhood. The
main job is to organize the
coverage of the enumeration
districts that fall within the
assigned territory.
Main Link
District Supervisor Louis j..
Alexis explained that the crew
leaders will be the main link
Of communication" between the
regional ofhce and the actual
census-taking going on in the
field.
"The crew leaders will be row.
ing throughout their areas al
most all the time, checking the
progress Of the work and aiding
enumerators who might be
running into problems" he said.
Frequently, to be sure the
census taking is moving along
on schedule. the crew leaders
will make spot checks-usually
by phone from the home head
quarters. They will call at
random a household in. the
area to be covered on a particu-
lar day and ask If the enumer-
ator made the census check.

last week with his tapped shows

Peter Sellers was such a sur

dering why the audience e

Jim Moran, show Jack the pic

most part, sputtered to life
only on those infrequent occa-
sions when a guest (Malcolm

enough, those grotesque "hand"
