Arlington Urged
To Help Finance
Housing for Aged

Arlington should consider
contributing public funds to
private construction of housing
for the aged, County oard men,
Der Lucas Blevins said yester-
day.
He asked Commonwealth
Attorney William Hassan if the
county legally can give money
to non-prof1t organizations
which builds such projects with
the aid of long term, low in
terest Federal loans.
If we can find q group of
public-spirited citizens to spon-
sor one or more projects, this
could be the answer to the
county's problem" DR.. Blevins
said. 1T would obviate the nee
essity of providing a large ap-
preparation paid for by the
taxpayers and at the same time
would provide necessary hous-
ing for those of modest means
as well as those who have to
be assisted by welfare. In the
end, modest assistance to a
private. non-profit corporation,
might we'll save the taxpayers
a lot of money"
Congress last year appro-
priated $40 million to finance
loans to non-profit groups will
ing to erect housing for the
elderly.

Auto Hits Lake,
Virginia Girl Dies

EMPORIA, Va, Sept. l6
tAP) An automobile occupied
by three high school girls
plunged through a bridge rail

Arlington has come close to
making its own assignments by
telling Federal courts that it
would not object to entry of
certain Negro students into
some schools composed pri-
marily of white pupils. Tech
nically, the actual assign
ments in these cases have been
made by the court.
Except in instances where
Federal courts have intervened,
assignments of children in pub
lie schools throughout Virginia
still are being made by the
State Pupil Placement Board.
In other business, the school
board voted to sell the former
Brandon School on Shirley
highway to provide money for
claSsroomS to ease overcrowd-
ing at the all-Negro Drew
School.
Money to build l9 additional
classrooms at Drew was pro-
posed in the bond issue that
was defeated in the May pri-
mary election.
The school board voted to
provide bus service to Kenmore
Junior High School from the
Arlington Forest area.

teacher for 80 years, was named

and Langston Elementary
Schools.

junior high and vocational high
schools.
He also will ask that funds
be restored to enable the board
to hire two psychologists, and
$4,000 to expand the summer
school program, both of which
were cut.
He also called for restoration
of funds the board had re-
quested to replace Hine Junior
High School and to expand
Phelps Vocational High.
Capital Outlay Sliced
The budget Office sliced the
boards requested capital outlay
budget from about $l3 million
to $9.1 million.
The boards Student Activity
Committee also met yesterday
and approved scholarship
plan to aid financially troubled
high school students.
Financed by the Woodward
Foundation. five scholarships,
none to exceed $500, would go
to 11th graders, based on need
and academic achievement.
The plan also would provide a
81 900 loan fund to assist voca-
tional high school students in
acquiring tools with which to
practice a trade.
Board members also recon-
mended that the city's per diem
substitute teachers be. given the
rs per cent pay raise granted
full-time teachers.
The various committees also
called for adding Is rooms to

Federal Renewal Funds
Pledged Foggy Bottom

Stalling sewers in the redevel-
opment area. But there is not
enough of that kind of work
needed in the Columbia Plaza
project to fulfill the one-third
requirement. So the rest must
be in the form of cash unless
Congress passes special legisla-
ton.
Two other factors promise to
focus attention on the District
Commissioners decision on Co.
lumbia Plaza. There already is
considerable opposition to the
project by persons living in
Foggy Bottom, and the deci-
sion on Columbia Plaza may
come while the Senate is in
vestigating Washington's ur-
ban renewal program.
Fast Moves Predicted
John R. Searles, jr., execu-
tive director of the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency, told The
Star his agency will move lex
tremely fast" in planning Co.
lumbia Plaza. RIA hopes to
finish its planning in six
months, putting the blueprint
before the District Commits
Sioners and the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission in
March or April.
A syndicate organized by
James F. Salkeld of the Wash
lngton real estate firm of
Shannon & Luchs owns much
of the land in the Columbia
Plaza area and has announced
it wants to redevelop it under
the urban renewal program
The names of the principals
of the syndicate have not been

BY GEORGE WILSON
Star Stat Writer

Washington'S urban renewal
program heads toward a new
test today with Federal approv-
al of redeveloping of Foggy
Bottom.
Com missioner id NJ.
Walker of the Urban. newal
Administration announced yes
terday that his agency has de-
Cided to advance the money
needed to plan the redevelop-
ment of the Northwest area
bounded by G. street, Virginia
avenue, Twenty-third street, E
street and Twenty-fifth street,
This means the Columbia
Plaza urban renewal project
can move ahead. Mr.. Walker
said his agency will supply
$74.616 to pay for the plan
ming and reserve S720,61O TO
finance two-thirds of the net
cost of the whole project.
The District government
must pay the other third OF
the total cost, or about $780,
900. And for the first time
the District-barring some un-
expected reprieve - will have
to put up cash for an urban
renewal project.
Priority Question
This cash contribution sets
the stage for new kind of test
for the urban renewal program,
Basically, the District Commits
sionerS must decide whether
the Columbia Plaza project
should take priority over other
demands for city money.
Up to now, the District has
put up its one-third share on
urban renewal projects by per-
forming such services as in

council has badly mishandled
the whole subject itself and is
obviously seking a whipping

Told to Resign
Mr.. Boswell said the council
men told him they want his
resignation regardless of the
outcome of a grand jury in
vestigation requested by a
group of citizens to look into
substandard housing.
1T is bewildering," he said,
ito be told you have served the
city well and that you haven't
done anything which would
justify flreing you, but that
you should resign anyway.
Mr.. Boswell said he told the
councilmen he was mot in
chned to resign. but that I
would nevertheless study the
request" and confer with
housing authority officials.
Harland K. Heumann, an
administrative assistant at the
authority, said Authority Com
missioner Burt Lopatin alb
stained, and Mr.. Boswell was
excused from the vote. The
commissioners resolved, he
said, to express their conf
dence in Mr.. Boswell and ex-
press their wish that he not
resign as chairman or commits
sioner."
Mr.. Boswell and his attorney,
Waller Dudley, met yesterday
with the city council delegation.
Stress Public Opinion
The chairman was told yes
terday by council members
that a lock of evidence of mall
feasance means the council
won't have any ground for
firing him. Instead, he was
told. the council will try him
in "the court of public opinion
if he continues his refusal to
resign.
Mr.. Boswell and Mr.. Dudley
left the meeting without COM
ment to reporters before Mayor
Leroy S. Bendheim, Vice Mayor
Joseph M. Pancoast and Coun-
Gilman Josiah S. Everly
emerged from the conference
room.
The council action Tuesday
came in the wake Of a citizens
petition last month asking a
grand jury investigation of two
houses owned by Mr.. Boswell.
The houses, cited as violating
the city's housing and hygiene
code by the health department,
will be investigated starting
october "a.
Mayor Bendheim said yes
terday before the meeting that
/ if Mr.. Boswell refuses to step
down. the city council will
adopt "a formal resolution
stating his moral obligation to
resign in view of the urban
renewal program pending and
the lack of public confidence
/ in it."

State school officials have done
nothing about an earlier Ar
lington request for information
about local placement proce-
dureS.
Under legislation passed by
the Virginia General Assembly,
local Jurisdictions can resume
pupil placements under regu-
lations set up by the State
board of education.
Arlington decided six months
ago to ask what these regula-
tions would be. Oficials SAID
they wanted this information
before deciding whether to seek
local placement powers.
The State board of education
has failed to adopt regulations
to allow localities to make
their own assignments.
Here we have done nothing
for six months, and they have
done nothing for six months, /"
said Mr.. Stockard. I'm very
distressed that we don't get any
support Or cooperation from
the State level"
Mr.. Stockard said a request
for the forms might jar" State
officials into action.
This is not the proper time
to jar the State board" SAID
Barnard Joy, chairman of the
Arlington school panel.
Mr.. Stockard voted against
"a motion, which was adopted,
that Mr.. Reid try to find out
what was going on in Rich
mond. He said this was a de
viouS, unofficial" way TO do
something that should be done
by the school board.
Under the State legislation,
requests for local placement
powers must come from the
local school board and county
board.

Trailer Court
TaxRiseAsked
In Fairfax Plan

Fairfax County would boost
its tax revenues from trailer
courts and clean up sub-stand-
ard installations at the same
time under proposals in a IA
page planning study being con-
sidered by the County Board
Of Supervisors.
Mobile homes are becoming
an established part of the
housing supply throughout the
Nation" according to the re-
port prepared by the county
planning division.
The study disclosed a need
for more trailer space in the
county and much more real
istic" coming of present trailer
courts.
Much of the present need for
trailer space will diminish when
such major construction prof.
ects as the Dulles international
Airport, the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and the Capital
beltway are completed, the re-
port said.
The planning staff, recon-
mending that new trailer space
be kept at a minimum, did ad-
vocate two new trailer parks.
The county now has IA trailer
parks.
The planners picked no
specific sites. but noted there
is a need for parks in the
Chantilly- -Centreville area and
near Fort Belvoir.
The planners recommended
strongly that any additions to
existing trailer parks operating
as nonforming uses should be
granted only If the entire park
is Drought up to existing
ordinance standards"
Many trailer parks do not
meet all standards in the
ordinance.
A major point in the study
is a recommendation to rezone
all existing trailer parks in
residential zones. Many of the
trailer parks were set up years
ago on land zoned for large
house lots.
1T will be much more
realistic to place these courts
in the zones designed for them
Mobile Park, both for plan
ming and proper assessment
purposes" the report said.
The county now receives
about S8.700 annually in real
estate taxes from the county's
trailer parks.

asked for about $65 million
The budget office pared the

the council request for Mr..

justified" and added:
Mr.. Boswell has not at any
time neglected his duties,
nor has he been guilty of mis-
conduct of any nature, and has
always devoted his services to

Pressure" Charged
