Showdown Souqht
On Boiling Project
Planners Seek
City Action on
Military Bases
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

The National Capital Plan
ming Commission today decided
to seek a showdown with the
District Commissioners over
whether the AnacoStia Boiling
military bases should be rede-
veloped under private or public
auspices.
Acting on findings that the
900-acre area shows evidence
of "blighting factors" the
planning agency designated
about $40 acres of the two
bases as an urban renewal area.
The lone dissenting vote was
cast by Col. H. o. Webb, as
sistant engineer commissioner
and alternate NCPC member.
who attended the meeting in
the absence of Engineer Com
missioner Frederick J. Clarke.
Ruling Issued
Three weeks ago, District
Corporation Counsel Chester
H. Gray informed the planning
agency that the District Rede-
velopment Act will not permit
designation of the land for
urban renewal.
In an opinion drawn up for
the Commissioners, the cor
poration counsel said the Gov
ernment's power to acquire real
property is confined to "slum
or blighted areas"
He said military installations
such as the AnacoStia Naval
Air Station and the Boiling Air
Force Base would not be ELI
gible.
At today's meeting, Col.
Webb told the planning agency
the DiStrict' Commissioners
strongly favored redevelopment
of the surplus part of the mill
tary bases.
He added the Commissioners
had no objection to the NCPC
action pending a resolution of
the legal conflict, but empha-
sized that they had not yet had
an opportunity to discuss the
legal questions raised by the
corporation counsel's opinion.
Approval by the District
Commissioners is needed for
any urban renewal project area
boundaries initiated by the
agency.
William E. Finley. NCPC
executive director. told board
members he believed today's
action was needed so a decision
could be reached.
1--WE feel this is the thing to
do" he said.
IF we are struck down by
the corporation counsel. then
we will have to seek legiSla-
ton"
46 SubStandard
Mr.. Finley added he believed
the Districts corporation coun-
sci had been obliged to prepare
his opinion on the eligibility Of
the bases for urban renewal
designation without full in
formation"
This planning staff view was
echoed by Daniel H. Shear,
NCPC general counsel.
Out of a total of lis struc-
lures on the two bases, a rede-
velopment land agency survey
found 46 to be "substandard."
The planning agency then
went ahead and, on the basis
of this report, adopted a reso-
luton finding that there exist
"blighting factors"
In other actions, the COM
mission:
l. Elected as vice chairman
Mrs. James H. Rowe, recently
appointed by President Ken
nedy as the agency's first
woman member. Dean A. M.
Woodruff, who submitted his
resignation at the time Presi-
dent Kennedy assumed office
but whose resignation was not
accepted, is continuing to serve
as chairman.
