An Explosion in Population

The population explosion" will produce its great
est shockwave in the Washington area during the
next 40 years The increase in the number Of people
living here during this time is expected to be greater
than the increase during any time in its history.
The raw figures indicate that the present popula-
ton of 100000 will increase to 2577O00 by 1870 and
to million by the year 2OO0
But the raw figures don't tell the story
story as complicated and fascinating as the con-
slant spread of the city itself into the countryside
throughout this year, statsticians and planners
OF tne National Capital Planning Commission have
been trying to estimate how many people will live
IN the Metropolitan area in the future, where they
Will hVe' and where they will come from. They want
this information they can make proposals for the
orderly growth of the region.
Based on population trends of the last few decades
the planners believe that the number of people in
the Metropolitan area will increase by about $4,000
IN the next 10 years They believe that most of this
increase will be the result of natural increase birhs
outnumberng deaths) and that most of them will
locate in the suburbs.

A Look Inside

Handsome it is, too, but without frils and
furbelows.
Spectators will enter from the top (not the
bottom) and look down an eight-rowed tier, one of
four, to the 80 by 40 foot playing area.
No longer will lighting spill to faces in the
audience. Architect Harry WeeSe of Chicago, who
worked from scratch" to build a house for which
there was predecessor, designed neutral belt"
to counteract this.
Nor will proximity of the first-row spectators
to the players dilute the concentration of either
Mr. WeeSe has added separation strip"
Nor will Arena turn down those plays which
may not lend themselves to in-ther round staging
One of the four tiers of seats is removable providing
for three-quarter seating in the fashion of Canadas

Will success spoil Arena?
Zelda Fchandler smiles tight little smile at
this. "Therell be difference in it's operation"
she says.
The Broadway theatergoer who pays $3.50 for
a seat will continue to envy the Arena patron who

Migration Factors

Migration to Washington in the decade will give
the area net increase in population of l47OOO OF
these newcomers about 10000 will be white and about
: $1,000 non-white.
Since 1s4O the planners say, the Importance of
migration as population builder has decreased In
tne decade OF the 40s, migration accounted for 4S
per cent OF the increase in population In the decade
Of the 5OS migration accounted for 80 per cent of
the increase and in the COS the planners estimate it
VIII produce rs per cent of the population increase
Since the 1940s the number of white people enter
ing the Metropolitan area from other parts of the
country has been greater than the number of nom
whites by about 3-to-1. The planners feel that
there no known reason why this proportion should
change radically
During the coming decade, natural increase will
account for 42S,O0O increase in population This
figure was based the assumption that 500 900 babies
will be born here in the decade and I'll 600 people of
all ages will die in the same period

Projects Ahead

The biggest project on the books today is the new
7l0-bed Veterans Administration Hospital now being
built on the Soldiers Home grounds next to the
Washington Hospital Center
Some $25 million has been made available to
construct and equip this hospital which will replace
the present aged VA institution, Mount Alto on
Wisconsin avenue above Georgetown.
The structure will be of glazed brick and concrete
block construction. It will be four stories high on
3o-acre site and will include psychiatric facilities
Surgical suites will be in the basement
Another big project for the future-maybe
1965iS the Greater Southeast Community Hospital to
be built on a 20-acre site at Thirteenth street and
Southern avenue Sc.
This community hospital has been planned as a
25O-hed institution at cost of about Sc million It's
trustees, however, want to increase the beds to 800
and the total cost to about $83 million Much de-
pends, however, on action by Congress to get the
necessary matching funds.

Metro-Center Factors

The planners estimate that the population of the
District itself will increase by $4,000 in the next 10
years But they make the estimate with reservations
This increase will depend, they say the effec-
tvenesS of urban renewal programs in the city, such
as the Southwest redevelopment project To provide
for the $4,000 increase in population these redeveop
ment areas must provide surplus of housing units
over and above the number of units destroyed to make
them possible, plus the number of units torn down
to make way for highway construction and other
Government projects
The planners also have reservations about the
projected racial composition in different sections Of the
Metropolitan area. They say, however that the num-
Der of future nonwhte residents in the entire area
could be estimated past trends and birth statistics
They noted, for example, that the proportion be-
tween white and non-white in the Metropolitan
has remained nearly constant for the past 40 years.
with nonwhtes representing about Is per cent Of the
population.
But where the non-white population will live in
this is matter of conjecture. The planners feel
that the location of nonwhite families in 1870 will
depend on changes-or the lack of them-n discrin-
inatory attitudes
Because of this the planners present alternate
estimates the racial breakdown of the District
population. They say that if discrimination against
Negroes continues in the suburban areas there will be
5S5OOO non-whites and 235yOO0 whites living in the
District by 1870 .
If Negroes able to move into decent housing
in suburban areas this estimate would change to
$4,000 non-whites and 5000 whites in the District
In 1850 there were $40 500 whites and 2s7 500 non
whites living in the District and in 1860 the proper
tion 345,000 white people and 10000 whites
living in the Nations Capital.

A Stage Whisper From the River

The little theater from across the tracks land
down by the brewery moves into its splendid new
dreamhouse just stage whisper from the Potomac
on October 80.
MOST dreams have beginning, middle and an
end
The dream for Arena Stage began II years ago in
the heart of crime ridden Precinct No. l. in con-
verted old movie theater across from the Central
Public Library. 1t impossibly heated and air
conditioned, with bad lighting and cramped seating
There are no inducements to seeing play at
Arena Stage" Producing Director Zelda Fichandler
said when she began search for new home except
the play itself and the atmosphere of cordiaty pro-
vided by the house and box office staff"

City Of Hospitals

The City of Washington has become the city of
modern hospitals.
Instead of the concentration of big hospitals in
and around the downtown business district the tend
ency is to spread out, but still remain within Wash
ington itself No hospital has left the District for
nearby Maryland Virginia.
Washington is the center of disqualification for
this section of the Nation Patients from the nearby
counties, nearby States well the District ITSELF
think naturally of going to Washington hospitals
It's true that fine suburban hospitals have sprung
up in the nearby counties But the District hospitals
have become the centers Of the specalties The big
city institutions afford the very expensive dag
nostic and therapeutic equipment needed for many
severe diseases.
Ihe outlying suburban hospitals can't always
afford this and, 1t would be senseess to duplicate all
this equipment even if they could.
Thanks largely to Federal funds this forward look
In hospitals makes the District unique decade or
SO ago this wasn't true But the Washington Hospital
Center Act and other Federal appropriation laws have
made nearly $50 million available to hospitals here
for new construction since World War H. New build
lngS have been dedicated to comfort spaciousness the
latest in medical services and the psychological we'll
being of patients. There's still more to come.

A New DESIGN

Remembering the old, has to be awed by
the new, theater that looks like no other theater
or building in Washington, theater designed with
only one purpose in mind-the staging of plays in
the round
The cost (Say it softly) is nearly $8OOOOO which
is the way costs sometimes balloon from modest
plans. The original announcement estimate: 100000
What will the new Arena Stage mean to theater-
goerS? To Washington? To the Nation?
Part OF the answer can be found in the immensely
functional building, which, by virtue of it's
speciality, might be nicknamed "The Roundhouse"
1t is actually octagonal in shape with an areaway
connecting the theaer to the administration building
and lobby
If the dream has a middle phase it would be
the five years spent in the converted Hospitality Hall
OF the colorful old Heurich Brewery Building Here
was much more attractive setting in the off
Broadway or rathskeller tradition of theatergoing
When the threat of eviction loomed larger as
redeveopment and bridgebulde took hold theater-
goers everywhere became alarmed There were no
more suitable buildings in the Washington area
to convert
VARIOUS Government agencies involved in the
reoeVelopment program moved with unaccustomed
ceerty to allocate the land private gifts and public
bonds were matched by half dozen cuturally alert
foundations. Arena itself reorganized as non
profit foundation
The result-a handsome new edifce the Arenas
first permanent home, and the ending of one dream
and the beginning of another.

Where Will They Live?

In trying to determine where the increased popu-
ation will make their homes the planners have relied
on the trend toward suburban living which has become
reality in the past 10 years. They say that this trend
VIII continue, giving the suburbs an even greater
population edge the District
In 1850 for example, the 100000 District residents
represented 546 per cent of the total population of
the area.
In 1870, the planners feel, about $4,000 will live
