Turn Tables
On Senator's

Washington Club
With Seven-Hitter
BY BILL FUCHS
star staff Writer

The Senators and Angels are
waging a red-hot battle of the
expansion teams and the Sena-
tors aren't doing so well.
The Angels, who were the
jokes of the American League
in the early part Of the sea-
son. are getting the last laugh.
They are one game UP on the
Senators, pride of the pro-
expanSionists in mid.June, as
a result Of last nights. ST. vic
tory behind Ted Bowsfield's
seven-hitter at Griffith Sta
dium.
Ed Hobaugh (6-6) will try
to get the Senators virtually
even with the Angels in the
second game of the four-game
series tonight. Jim Donohue
(4-5) will pitch for the Angels.
Clubs Do TurnabOut
Bring back the Yankees"
was the plea of more than one
Washington player last night.
The Senators are even with the
power-laden league-leaders in
IA meetings. But the revitalized
Angels have clobbered them
four straight times and own a
7-5 margin,
The two new clubs have done
a virtual turnabout this season.
In mid-June the Senators
were the leagues upstarts.
They were in fifth place with
q 29-30 record. The Angels
were dead last at 21-40, and
the showcase example of why
expansion was bad for baseball.
But the Angels have acquired

the spring, Lee Thomas, OBJ

his 18th home run to lead last
nights 10-hit attack.
Senators in Ninth Place
Since June IS, the Angels
have compiled a 1926 record
for q .527 average. The Sena-
tors over the same period are
1886, which is a .345 clip.
The two new clubs and the
Twins are punched in the fight
for seventh place. The loser, of
course, gets ninth, If the Ath-
leticS don't suddenly come to
life and leave the basement
open. an unlikely development.
AS matters stand now, Wash
ington has the ninth spot. a
half game behind Minnesota.
Bowsfield struck out seven
and walked only one in going
the distance for the third time
In l3 starts. This is the fastest
I've been in three years." he
said. He has a ga record.
A gathering of only 1924
watched the Angels score two
runs in the first inning as
Thomas tripled to centerfield,
Leon Wagner doubled to right
and Ken Hunt singled to left
off John Gabler.
Three Hits for Cottier
The Senators got their run
in the second on singles by
Gene Green. Jim King and
Chuck Cottier. Cottier raped
out three hits while Chuck
Hinton continued his hitting
spree with a single and double.
The Angels scored an un-
earned run in the third. First
BaSeman Bud Zipfel muffed a
ground ball off Thomas bat
for a two-base error and
Thomas scored his second of
four runs on a single to right
center by Wagner.
Thomas double and Wag-
ner'S single provided another
run in the fifth and Thomas
wrapped it up with his home
run over the rightfield wall off
John Klippstein in the seventh.
Mike Garcia shut out the
Angels on one hit over the last
two innings.

The Freewdy Need

The critical freeway need is the long planned
inner loop" which will serve the dual purpose of
permitting motorists who want to get downtown to
do so and to permit others to encrce the downtown
thereby freeing its surface streets of unnecessary
traffic. The key requirement in this system for the
downtown is a so-called central leg" now being
planned in the general vicinity of Third street. which
would give ready access to the shopping area.
No less important, however, is rapid transit
system-either with rails or with buses-reaching
from the center of Washington far into the suburbs
For freewayS cannot do the job alone without into
cradle congestion.
Unfortunately, there is no ready political or
financial mechaniSm-as there is for highways-to
bring such transit system into being For the first
time, the details of such system are being developed
by the National Capital Transportation Agency But
these ambitious studies will come to nought unless
the residents of the suburbs come to realize that the
system can hold untold benefits for them, both in
the increment of real estate values along the rights
OF way in Maryland and Virginia and in the provision
of speedy communication to and from the central
city.

The Downtown Lure
BY ROBERT HI. LEVI


President of The Hch Co. Vice
Each central city has developed differently
For instance, city may be created around
port or, in the case of Washington, around the
seat of Government. The background of the
central city influences its drawing power
These are the factors however, which con-
tribute to the draw of the central city, The greatest
presentation of general merchandise, the greatest
concentration of banking and investment facilities
the normal location for all cultural activities
because it is the closest point to the total popua
ton, the greatest concentration of entertainment
and services including food and drink and the
greatest concentration of the legal profession.
Adding all this together, then, the central city
is the area in which communication is simplest
on a face-to-face basis and people can get the
most accomplished most quickly.
The draw is the power of the total

area
The Southwest also is becoming one of the domi-
nant focal points of new Federal employment Inde-
pendence avenue rapidly is approaching Constitution
in Importance as Federal office-buiding complex.
Under the Eisenhower administration, the greatest
boom in Federal construction experienced since
the reclamation of the Federal Triangle in 1925.
But there still is long way to go. The recently
announced decision that the tempos in West Potomac
Park will be retained even after they are vacated by
the Central Intelligence Agency is bitter dsappont-
ment to Washingtonians who had been promised that
this DETACHMENT of the Mall soon would end. Wash
ington can take great heart in the recent
by President Kennedy that he and his cabinet person
ally will work to advance the development of the
Federal City Clearly of the first requirements,
however, is revised construction program which
realistically will house the Federal working force in
decent and attractive buildings.

Growth of Downtown

There also have been major geographical shifts
some for the good and some bad. The downtown
business district, distinguished from the retail
shopping area, has pushed northwestward almost to
Dupont Circle with major new construction. Since
the end of World War II, than million square
feet of space has been provided in this westward
movement-most to meet the demands of new or
expanded business rather than the strict replacement
of space. On the debit side, the shopping area east
of Twelfth street has deteriorated steadily One of
the major goals of Downtown Progress will be to
reclaim the section eastward at least to Seventh street.

Housing Prospects

There is nothing on the New Washington" scene
therefore, that is dramatic than the changes in
the housing market. The Southwest boasts a
variety and innovations in housing undreamed of
previously ranging from apartments to rows of town
houses, grouped for the most part around commons
which guarantee degree of open space and greenery
Of sort sadly lacking even in the prestige area of
Georgetown. In other parts of the city, the accent
is not on bulldozng clearance, but the renovation
and conservation of existing neighborhoods Foggy
Bottom already is transformed; Capitol Hill is be-
coming less so. Elsewhere in this section, Star

Two Downtown IFS

Officials OF Downtown Progress, therefore see
no reason for about their as long as two
"ifS" satisfied.
The first of these is that adequate means are
found to permit the suburban housewife to get easily
in and out of downtown The second is that modern
attractive facilities provided to make downtown
shopping as pleasurable and comfortable as pos
Sible. Studies already are under way to improve
parking facilities to separate pedestrian and auto
traffic to the maximum degree, to develop attractive
arcades and resting places to construct simple
system of internal circulation.
Nothing more than drive through downtown is
required to the evidence of vitality. Since the
Downtown Progress effort was begun in early 1860,
there have been at least IS major renovatons plus
new construction including in-town motor hotel.
The plans recently announced for a new Safeway
Store featuring gourmet foods will be the first new
construction for major retail outlet on street in
80 years.

Aetro center: Key TO Area Niger and Unity

1t seems only few years ago that the fashionable
thing was to write-off cities, Washington included.
To the late Frank Lloyd Wright, the modern city
was busted flush" vampire living the flesh
and blood of the countryside and vllagesterilizing
humanity"
And the urban revolution of the late '40s and SOS
seemed to bear out these prophecies of doom In city
after city across the country higherincome families
fled to Mr. Wrights countryside taking business and
industry with them The suburbs boomed-a whole
new way of life born The central of cities
appeared on the verge of drying up, not only from
suS and blight but because they seemed to be losing
any meaning to the bulk of the area population
residing outside.
Washingtonians looking at their city, like parents
viewing their child, have been keenly aware of its
failings-its ever-mounting traffic snarls the de-
generation of formerly stable neghborhoods the pro-
fusion of ugly parking ots the disappearance of trees
the shift of shopping habits to the suburbs.
Evening star., 1961-09-17
A Spark for Faith

This faith was touched off in part decade or so
ago by the foresight of such architects Louis uSte
ment and Choethiel Smith, who saw Cthrough urban
renewa the opportunity to reclaim the Southwest as
something more than a Slum-clearance project, as
wel-balanced community for gracious living and at
the same time focal point of interest and use by
residents of the whole Metropolitan area short time
later in speech after speech in Washington William
Zeckendorf preached that decentralization was mot
threat but great opportunity" Speaking in terms OF
business vitality he argued that only cities can offer
the maximum spirit of competition and the exchange
of ideas"
In much the same vein but in non business terms,
Lewis Mumford has preached that only cities through
their concentration and multiplicity of facilities,
offer the maximum opportunity to enjoy the full
potentials of modern living.
But to attain these values, Mr. Mumford warns
will require that cities Washington included-must
pay attention to than brick and mortar alone.
"The CITY," he declared in recent speech, "is an
esthetic experience and dramatic experience; and
no part of city is properly planned if it does not
contribute its quota of visual JOY of vivid human
contacts and of purposeful and meaningfu activities
that sustain the human spirit The great boule-
wards of Paris needed the cafe to translate the large
scale order of movement into the intimate order of
repose, conversation, human stimulation. The off
Broadway theaters and the espresso bars have done
more for the culture of the city in New York than
acres of pretentiouS eStheticSm"

Miracle in Washington

Yet in the last few years something very close to
a miracle has been happening in Washington.
Washington today is not dying city. 1t is
buStling with perfectly phenomenal number OF new
developments of every conceivable nature-perhapS
the greatest period of activity in its history And
with pre-ordaned precise intention of doing so,
the effect of all this activity is to transform the District
from wel-ordered city of three-fourths OF million
people into the dynamic heart of a Still-growing
regional community of million.
What has caused this activity?
In part, it is the result of vast new Federal
assistance programs, centered around the urban
renewal Housing Act of 1949 and the greatly expanded
Highway Act of 1856.
In another respect Washington has been less
affected by the urban explosion than most cities For
in place of private industry the Federal Government
has continued to anchor the major area employment
firmly downtown. And as Government has grown, the
force of the Capital City a magnet to those who
need to do business here-or who simply viSt-haS
intensified by leaps and bounds.
But it is more than that. The Washington renaiS-
Sance now under way is manifestation of faith by
business and civic leaders that the hand-wrngerS of
decade ago were wrong-that the city must survive
and flourish if the Metropolitan area itself is to have
any cohesive meaning
Evening star., 1961-09-17

Washingtons downtown is stifled by its height limits
Planners however, believe that ample space exists
now in the downtown business and shopping areas
to meet its future needs without either raising the
limits on height or expanding greatly the size of
the districts They cite evidence the large number
of downtown parking lots, which will be succeeded
in time either by new buildings, as the economic
demand for them grows, or by high-level parking
garages.
The dominant hurdle downtown however is not
what can be done to improve it, or to move people
around within it, but to get people easily and quickly
downtown in the first place. And the only feasible
answer to this problem is balanced system of new
freewayS and rapid transit
Evening star., 1961-09-17
The Challenge

The job ahead therefore, is to meet the challenges
of the Goth century with city both vigorously healthy
and alive with human excitement. To say that these
ends fully in sight in Washington today would be
foolish But the means of bringing them into effect
already very much in being and the actual progress
under way when viewed in its entirety, is startling
The further development of Washington, its improve
ment in a myriad of ways, is assured But the queS-
ton mark is the outer limits of this improvement,
which are bounded only by the ability of the region
as a whole to select the proper solutions to such
regional problems transportation.
The suburbs, of course, will continue to grow and
prosper The forces of natural expansion already are
in play-forces which expected to expand the
area population to at least million people by 1880
and to million by the turn of the century.
Not even the raShest champion of city living
would predict that majority of the families in the
for return to the city. Yet the signs of trend in
this direction already unmistakable More than
family already has discovered to its chagrn that
life in the country has it's thorns Cookouts and lawns
shopping centers and community pools, all are fine.
But in return for them thousands of wage-earners
are paying dearly in daily committing time, in ever
increasing stress and strain on the human machine
well the family Most important of all,
housewives discovering that Washington possesses
essential ingredients which Suburbia must lack for
ever in convenience in the variety of selection and
subty but less real in the excitement of the
association of people with other people.
Until recently, even a modest back to- -the-city
movement would have been restricted by the avail
ability of housing Indeed, the growing obsolescence
OF housing in the city was major factor in the
exodus, ranking in Importance perhaps with the
racial and social changes which have occurred
Evening star., 1961-09-17
Problem of Displaced

On the renewal 'front.' there is growing awareness
that the need not merely clear out slus but to
do better job in housing those who are displaced
The fact that other cities well have failed in this
requirement does not lessen the responsibility of
officials here to develop echnques of relocation
and financing
Nor is blight limited to residential areas Indeed
no current project is urgentor more exciting
than the effort of Downtown Progress, the organ
Eation OF businessmen who dedicated to revital-
Eatlon OF the central business and shopping area.
1t has been common fallacy to equate the loss
OF downtown shopping SaleS-the shift of shopping
habits to the Suburbs-with deterioration and ruina
ton of the central city. Actually, this shift is
normal and predctabe part of the transition in the
function of downtown which must accompany regional
growth. What has happened, essentially, is this:
AS population increases in the suburbs small
retail stores built to serve it. When the concen-
tration of population in any specific reaches
level to support it, regional shopping center is
formed And when this happens, little piece of the
downtown retail shopping district chips off. Thus,
downtown department stores, which handled 80 per
in 194S, handled only 46 per cent in 1860, and will
handle only about 35 per cent by 1880. g@E II IA
The truly important point to remember however
is that while these downtown stores have declined in
relative area Importance the central shopping district
Will remain strong and vital because ID it still serves
as the major facility for the District of Columbia (2)
it serves some $4,000 people who are employed in
central Washington and 81 it will remain for all time
in the foreseeabe future the only shopping district
which can provide real depth of selection.
