Central Role
InCitiesUrged
For Architects
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

PHILADELPHIA, April 81
Good architects must be
brought into "a central role"
in Government if American
cities are to meet the needs of
the future, the Nations archi-.
tects were told here today.
Edmund N. Bacon, executive
director of the Philadelphia
City Planning Commisson, said
expanding and deteriorating
cities need a central design
idea as an organizing force"
and that without it. urban re-
newal will lead to chaos"
Mr.. Bacon's work in Phila-
delphia as leader in city re-
newal has been widely praised.
The city's record in urban
redevelopment led the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects to
choose it for the site of the 93d
annual convention closing to-
night.
Today's session heard an ex-
planation by Mr.. Bacon of the
Philadelphia program, which
relied heavily on architects in
private practice as a source of
design.
Mr.. Bacon told the architects
they face a challenge to take a
new view of their separate ef-
forts" as a means of contrib
uting new quality to cities.
"Educa tionali institutions
must train men who can think
in terms of broad design struc-
ture and who see their role as
dealing with design problems
at the level of government" he
said.
Like it or not, the architec-
tural profession has been pro-
PEELED into a central position
in the formation of our cur
rent society. If we fail now,
we will have failed the society
of which we are a part"
On the same program, G.
Holmes Perkins, dean of the
University of Pennsylvania's
School of Fine Arts and chair
man of the City Planning Com
mission, said Philadelphia's
center city redevelopment

environment and beauty"

The proposal, Mr.. Powell
said. is to tax the gain on

for investment or used in
trade or business at the
higher ordinary rate to the
extent Of the depreciation
taken instead Of at the pres
ent capital gains rate.
There are thousands of
pieces Of income producing
