director, aside from its board,
and probably would hire con-
sultants to complete develop
ment design. He said the RIA,
if it undertook the final phase
of waterfront development.
would probably rely heavily on
consultants as well.
The waterfront design that
has received approval is one
drawn up by Mrs. Chloethiel
Smith, a Washington architect
hired by the Federal City
Council to provide a unified
plan.
Mr.. Searles said the decision
whether to establish the cor
poration should be made soon
so it can be organized.
He said work on extending
the Washington Channel bulk
head probably will start this
fall and once the bulkhead is
completed, which will be in
about a year, the construction
of the new waterfront should
begin.

Mr.. Katkovsky, who lives at

his home in the Ukraine in

A specially issued visa al

Russia. where he has five sis

From the time I checked
into the militia headquarters

related, somebody followed me
everywhere. When I tried to
go to the village where I was

let me leave the city. I began
to feel like a prisoner"
Then Mr.. Katkovsky penned

Police Force
Act Signed

A 3.000-man police force was
authorized Washington today
when President Kennedy signed
a bill into law. Money has
not been authorized as yet for
the salaries.
The act will give the Metro
politan force an additional 286
men with which to combat a
crime rate that has steadily
grown in recent months.
Funds for the new men are
contingent upon Congress au-
thorizing an additional ap-
preparation of about $1.3 mil
lion to cover the payroll.
Need for the larger force was
pointed up at a recent Con-
gressional hearing resulting
from a series of attack on
women.
The Presidents signature on
the bill now will enable the
department to ask the Civil
Service Commission to certify
about $50 men who already
have cleared examinations.

NewIywed Police Escort

motorcycle policemen as es-

Mr.. Buchanan said the po-

only as far as the District line
on the south side of the Poto-

place Friday afternoon at
Metropolitan Memorial Meth

Nebraska avenues.
In his letter to the Police

Gore Scores
Tactics of
D. c. Guides

The District Commissioners
have received a complaint from
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, on the "victimiza-
tion of unsophisticated tourists
by guides.
In a letter, Senator Gore
said that:
a.. the use Of military-type
caps and other accoutrementS
Of distinctive uniform tend to
cause many out-of-town tour
lists to think these people are
policemen. :"
Senator Gore wrote that on
several occasions he had
thought Of protesting to the
Commissioners about the ac-
tivities of commercial guides
around the White House and
near the Capitol. The Sena-
tor added that he was doing
so now because he had:
g. observed a guide on
Pennsylvania avenue directly
in front of the White House
detaining a tourist at the curb,
thus blocking one lane of traf-
fic and waving traffic, is if he
were chief of police, to pull
around his prospective Gus
toner, thus endangering two
lanes of traffic"
The recent letter had been
referred to police officials. At
today's Commissioners meet
ing, police said they believed
the regulations governing con-
duct of the guides are some
what vague.
In fact, the Commissioners
were told, the police depart
ment had had a very low aver
age of court convictions for
such arrests.
The Commissioners decided
to ask the Corporation Coun-
sells office for proposals to
clarity the regulations.
The desirability of a con-
sultation with the guides on the
change in the type of uniform
also will be studied.

I
Action by the RIA board is
expected this week or next
The plan was discussed at the
boards last executive session
but no action was taken.
Primary purpose of the pro-
posed corporation would be to
handle the waterfront develop
ment. 1t would also provide
the overall maintenance ard
control of the new waterfront
once development is completed.
Details Yet Undecided
Several details of the plan,
however, have yet to be worked
out.
Mr.. Searles said it is not
determined whether the cor
poration would lease the water
front land which it would in
turn lease to private developers
or whether the RIA would lease
directly to the developers.
BY setting up a non-profit
corporation, Mr.. Searles said,
the RIA could be assured that
the waterfront will have a
desired Continuity of design"
and, once redeveloped, will be
kept up with "a very high
standard of maintenance"
The corporation would be
S ON hat like non-profit
groups set up in other cities to
handle expositions or trade
centerS.
SBA Loans Possible
One important possibility
should the corporation be es-
tabliShed, is that the Small
Business Administration may
provide loans for businesses
operating on the new water
front. These funds would be
given the corporation which
then would provide loans fol
the waterfront enterprises.
Mr.. Searles explained that
the RIA has three possible
courses in developing the water
front. It could lease the entire
area to a single private de-
veloper, break up the area into
a few large tracts and lease
these to individual developers,
or establish the corporation.
Officials have felt for a long
time that the single developer
scheme would have too many
disadvantages. At first, Will
liam Zeckendorf's New York
firm, Webb & Knapp, was to
develop the waterfront tract
This scheme was abandoned.
Problem Of Control
One problem in giving a
single developer the entire wa
terfront is that RIA would find
it difficult to control the de-
velopment of the area along
lines it might decide is most
in the public interest.
Secondly, it would be diff
cult for small businesses now
operating on the waterfront
such as some of the restaurants
to win the opportunity to
relocate on the waterfront as
several have indicated they de-
sire to do.
If the water front were to be
leased in separate parcels, the
development might proceed in
a haphazard way without the
continuity Of design that the
RIA considers essential.
In the circumstances, Mr.
Searles said, the RIA staff de-
cided that the non-profit cor
poration would be the best way
of handling the waterfront
growth.

Negro Housing Plan
Askedin Alexandria
Units Proposed
At Stevenson
And LincoIniu
BY JOHN NEARY
Star Staff Writer

A plan to build a municipality
sponsored, medium income
housing development for sale
to Negroes will be unveiled to-
night before Alexandria's lame
duck" city council.
The councilmen, four Of
whom won't be holding office
after Saturday. will be asked
to give the green light to the
project, believed to be the first
of its kind in the Washington
area.
The 450-dwelling unit prof.
ect would include about 225,
single and multiple family
residences selling from $4,000
up. The other half Of the
project would be devoted to
apartments.
The housing would be built
on a site of about 81 acres at
Lincolnia road and Stevenson
avenue south of the intersec-
ton of Duke street and Shirley
highway.
Plans Call for School
The project, to be known as
Shepherd Haven, would include
an elementary school and civic
center surrounded by an oval
shaped housing development.
The project is aimed at
meeting demands by Alexan-
dria Negroes who have said
they wish to buy private homes
in the city but that none are
available to them.
Under the proposal, tie city
and present property owr.ers
would form a development cor
poration and, through private
developer, carry out the
project.
Construction of Shepherd
Haven will be possible only
through close cooperation be-
tween the more than 80 Negro
property owners in the area
and the city, which owns a
12-acre portion of the site.
Total Cost Undetermined
The property owners, who
have made no definite COM
mitment, have agreed to 60
along with the plan on condi-
tion the council gives its ap-
proval.
The council will be asked to
appropriate $500 for prelirn-
mary engineering studies. To-
tai cost Of engineering work is
excepted to be more than $18,-
900 and would be assumed
by the developer who would
carry out construction. The
projects total cost, yet unde-
termined, would be borne by
residents of the development
and the city.
Present property owners would
be issued shares in the develop
ment corporation according to
the size of their present hold
ingS, and would get first option
on relocating in the develop
ment.
The plan calls for home
financing through long-term
Federal mortgages.
U. S. Approval Indicated
The plan has been given pre-
liminary approval by Federal
officials. It has been on the
drawing board for nearly three
months.
| One city councilman said the
project had been only outlined,
in a closed council session, by
Francis S. Kenny, planning
director.
Planning officials have re-
fused to discuss the project on
grounds publicity would upset
negotiations with the property
owners.
The city purchased its land
in the area several years ago
for use as a school site.

THE ALMANAC, aware of
mounting interest in the
couple, produced a profile on
Arthur. He was the son of a
poor movie producer, and he
grew up like any average
American boy in Hollywood,
doing his homework by the
uncertain glow of Klieg
lights.
Arthur went to college at
UCLA, where the yearbook
selected him as least likely
to succeed" This was during
the depression and his FAM
lily had only one swimming
pool, which the magazine in
dicated as a probable cause
for that unfortunate label in
the yearbook.
He deserted Hollywood and
migrated to Detroit where,
with typical verve, he rose
from minor mechanic in an
airplane factory to chairman
Of the board in a career
which (said the Almanac)
must have put the UCLA
yearbook out of the prog
nosticating business forever.
He left the airplane indus
try after the war and in
vested in some lightly re-
garded uranium mines in
Utah. The current dividends
from stock in those mines,
explained the Almanac,
keeps the Farrells busy
clipping coupons on cloudy
days"
Arthur and Marie decided
to move to Potomac to escape
the California whirl, and
their announced intention
was to live a quiet life. How
ever, news did trickle out
that they sold their yacht
(through an Almanac adj
shortly before Mrs. F. was
reported to be the mother
of a new baby, born en- route
to the hospital.
AS the months went by,
nuggets of additional infor-
nation came to light. The
fabulous Farrells travelled.
They gave parties. The larg-
est social affair in Potomac
in many a day was at the
Farrell estate, where a
planned Hawaiian luau was
transformed into an Alaskan
party, because of a sudden
change in the weather, and
an orchestra played in nit
tens on the terrace. /
But after a time, it became
known that all was not well
with the Farrells. Marie
packed her Dior dresses and
the baby, and headed for the
Virgin Islands. Was a di-
vorce in the offing?
