the Architect of the Capitol. Mr.. Stewart,
in fact, as the result Of uncertainty as
to the future needs of Congress, has
kept the surrounding area in a state of
confusion which has served to dis
courage its orderly revitalization.
But the Kearns bill is entirely too
ambitious in its attempt to dictate by
legislation what can only be determined
realistically by careful community plan
ming. In speaking of housing which
might be demolished through the urban
renewal process, for example, the bill
says that no structure meeting decent
standards could be touched if it had
any historic or general Significance-a
phrase which would defy Interpretation.
While we agree that the emphasis in
the Capitol Hill region should be on
restoration, rather than wholesale clear
ance, it would be a mistake to tie the
planners hands too tightly before they
even begin work.
Probably the worst feature of the
bill is its slap at Highway Department
proposals for the Capitol Hill area, in
cluding one flat edict that no Through
highway" would be permitted West of
Nineteenth street Sc. Any such legis-
lative restriction as this, of course,
would be absurd, and the Commissioners
were right to oppose it "in the strongest
possible terms"
Evening star., 1961-07-24
Potpourri

Representative Kearns is a man of
virtually boundleSs interests, and he has
tried to wrap up most of them in a
single piece of legislation on the general
subject of Capitol Hill. In scope, this
curious bill ranges from the restoration
of the home of John Philip Sousa to
the solution of traffic problems; from
the creation of vast urban renewal
project covering much of Southeast
Washington to the provision of statue
to DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, father of the
pure food and drug law.
There is much to be said, in our
opinion, for the proposal in the bill that
the assistance of the National Capital
Planning Commission be sought in
planning the Capitol Hill area-perhaps
even with the eventual designation of
one or more urban renewal projects
there. For the citizens of this historic
area deserve full support in their wholly
commendable restoration efforts, and
they have received precious little aid or
encouragement from J. George Stewart,
