Waterfront Plan Faces
Challenges, Alterations
BY GEORGE WILSON
Star STAFF Writer

The washington waterfront
controversy today enters q new
stage full Of challenges for city
and Federal officials.
For the first time In decades
Of trying, all the talk about re-
building the waterfront along
the Washington Channel be-
tween Fourteenth street S.W.
and Fort McNair has been
reduced to . blueprint Of action.
What's more, the blueprint
yesterday was approved By the
Federal urban renewal agency
empowered to carry 1t out-the
Retievelopment Land Agency.
At the same time, the District
Commissioners representative
said they, too. like the plan.
Nov IL would seem only q
matter Of time before the
waterfront plan put down on
paper by Architect Chloethiel
Smith Is carried out. But this
Is not certain.
Could Bog Down
There are enormous practical
and political problems stand
ing between the dream and the
reality. These problems threat
en-. to twist the Smith water.
front plan all out Of shape and
may even sink 1t.
First. the RIA is pondering
what to do II no redeveloper
is willing TO sink his money
into q waterfront project he did
not design. Should the agency
then let o desirable redeveloper
change the Smith plan SUBJ
stantially on the ground that
half Q loaf Is better than none?
Or should the RIA insist on
the Smith plan as originally
drawn? Neither course is safe
from criticism.
Allowing substantial changes
would subject the RIA to
criticism from the Federal City
Council and other powerful
champions Of the Smith plan.
And turning away an able
redeveloper is sure to draw
criticism from those exasper-
ated with the slowness Of
Washington's urban renewal
program.
An alternative being +, dis
cussed is TO divide the mile
long strip Of waterfront into
lots and lease them to firms
willing to develop the land as
specified in the Smith plan,
Bot no one really knows
whether this would work. Mrs
Smith herself favors this ap.
proach. X

law requiring RIA to give them
priority when it came to locat-
ing people on the new water
front.
The Smith plan calls for
several parks and walkways
where waterfront businesses are
now located: When displaced,
these businessmen, like the fish
dealers, can be expected to raise
q storm Of protest on Capitol
Hill.
Also. the RIA built itself an
escape hatch out Of the Smith
plan by declaring the agency
would have the Real Estate Re.
search Corp. Of washington
test the economic feasibility OF
the layout.
The economic study could
provide o basis for the RIA
changing the plan. RIA board
member Andrew Parker, before
voting for the plan, questioned
whether the profusion Of
parks along the waterfront was
the most practical way TO use
the land.
Co-Operatlon Needed
Even without oil these prob.
lems. the realization Of the
Smith plan demands the closest
type Of cooperation among the
RIA, District ofIicials, National
Capital Parks and the Army
Engineers. All are involved.
In short. carrying out the
Smith plan presents the RIA
and the District Commissioners
with one Of the biggest chal-
lenges since the urban renewal
program was launched In
Washington.

was allowed the run of the resort.
Rosie was just crazy about streetcars.
When the first carline was built along

hunting for peanuts, but the passen-
ger, feeling a snakelike proboscis
slithering down his side, let out one
wild yell and jumped out of the
window.
He broke his leg, and won damages
of $4,000 in court. Rosie redeemed
herself, however.
President Warren Harding came

carried his golf clubs for him. The
resultant publicity got Rosie off the

cage of the surviving lovebird, who,

Then one day a careless maid upset
