Urban Boom
AImostOver,
PIunner Says

The Nations postwar SUBJ
urban boom, which produced
picture windows, urban sprawl
and the rotary mower, has just
about ended, a leading Wash
ington Metropolitan Area plan
ner said yesterday.
Future growth in the sub
urbs will follow a wholly new
and far more desirable pattern
than the formless, sprawling,
monotonous, wasteful and in
human suburbs that we have
so heedlessly built during the
last Is years." according to
Frederick Gutheim.
Mr.. Gutheim. president of
the Washington Center for
Metropolitan Studies and for
mer staff director Of the Joint
Congressional Committee on
w a Shington Metropolitan
Problems, spoke yesterday at
the close of the 26th North
American Wildlife and Re-
sources Conference.
Disenchantment with sub
urbia has already begun. he
said-"Cities are fighting back
with urban development pro-
grams, proposals for rehabili-
tating central business districts,
and they are getting more
Federal aid"
But the planner predicted
that new growth outside the
cities will consist principally Of
"free-standing satellite COM
munities," ranging in popula-
ton from $4,000 to 100000,
communities which will be far
more self contained and inde-
pendent from each other and
from the central city"
In future satellite" Subur-
ban communities, Mr.. Gutheim
predicted greater diversified
ton of housing types in a
smaller area, more apartments.

JobIess Pay Rise
Is Proposed Here
Suggested PIon
Makes AVERAGE
$33 Per Week
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

An increase in payments to
joblesS workers in the District
has been proposed by the Dis
trict's Unemployment Compen-
Sation Board.
The Commissioners will hold
a public hearing on the recon-
mendations, which would re-
quire congressional approval, at
10 am. March 20 in the District
Building.
Under the proposed bill, the
average compensation payment
here of $26 a week would go to
about $33. The maximum pay
ment now is $50. Some workers
would receive as much as $45 a
week if the bill is enacted.
About 10000 workers now
draw unemployment compensa-
ton.
Formula Revision Sought
Under the recommendations,
the ceilings for the payments
would be lifted through revi-
SionS in the formula for deter
mining the amount of the aid.
The bill would change the
maximum $50 payment to about
so per cent Of the average wage
of all covered workers. Another
revision would expand the max
imum amount a worker could
receive during any 26 weeks of
unemployment in a 12-month
period. The current limit of
one-third of a mans wages
during a year would be raised
to one half. The total amount,
however, could not exceed his
weekly payment multiplied by
the number of weeks of un-
employment.
Officials said the proposed
bill has no direct relationship
to the Kennedy administra-
tion'S House e-approved measure
that would extend unemploy-
ment compensation to joblesS
workers likely to use up their
local system payments. This
bill, officials noted, is designed
to provide temporary relief.
The Districts proposal, on the
other hand, would give the
local Unemployment Compen-
sation Board authority to raise
or lower payments from year
to year under the new formula.
PayrOlIs Are Taxed
The money for unemploy-
ment compensation comes from
a payroll tax. Officials said
this tax would not have to be
increased, at least not imme-
diately, because of the income
from this revenue source.
The annual compensation
payments here total about SIS
million. The proposals to in
crease weekly benefits would
cost an additional $l.2 million
a year, officials estimated.
A bill to increase the pay
mentS in the District was in
troduced last year, but it failed
to win action by Congress.

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. Gov
Tawes today quieted a brief but
violent furor over savings and
loan legislation.
The Governor met with leg
islative leaders to discuss a
controversy which cropped up
last night after a compromise
savings and loan association
regulatory bill breezed through
the House of Delegates. Action
was taken in two minutes yes
terday after weeks of heavy de-
bate.
1t was announced after the
conference that the bill would
be recalled to the House today
so that some controversial Ian
guage can be removed.
Case Raises Issue
Legislators and Gov. Tawes
thought the savings and loan
controversy was laid to rest
yesterday. But last night Rich
ard Case, who drafted the bill
and later saw major surgery
performed on it, spotted a SEN
tence in the House-approved
bill which he said was not part
of the compromise agreement.
The latest controversy again
involved multi-stock savings
and loan associations. The orig
inal Case bill would have out
lawed these associations, but
the House Ways and Means
Committee insisted that those
in operation as of January l,
1861, be allowed to continue in
business.
At a Monday meeting of Gov.
TaweS with representatives of

House subcommittee whic h
drafted amendments to the bill,

rehabilitate as many houses as
it can. President Kennedy is
out to make RLA's job easier.
Mr.. Kennedy asked Congress
to pass legislation enabling the
Federal Government to help
Washington and other cities
rehabilitate sound but rundown
houses. Under his proposal,
RIA would fix up a house and
then sell it to a moderate in
come family below cost. The
Federal Government would pay
for two-thirds of the loss and
the District one-third.
Also, President Kennedy
wants Congress to ease FLA
rules so the agency can insure
long term loans for home i'm
provements.
William E. Finley, director
Of the National Capital Plan
ming Commission, has been at
the forefront of those trying
to break up the urban sprawl
in the Washington area with
wedges Of greenery. President
Kennedy gave additional weight
to the effort.
Land Purchase Urged
The President asked Con-
gress to help cities buy open
land by establishing a special
500 million fund. Under the
administration proposal, the
Federal Government would pay
one-fifth the cost of acquiring

The most recurrent of
Washington social functions
is the retirement party.
Some are wet and some are
dry. Some are an approach to
afternoon teas with pink
punch and watercress sand
wicheS and cookies and cakes
served on the desks of Wash
ington offices.
IT WASN'T LIKE THAT at
the party we gave for Dave
McCarty of The Star COM
posing room Tuesday night
at the Press Club.
1t was a big party. There
were men and women, young
and middleaged from every
department.
Dave is rs, about S feet 10,
slender and white of hair.
Testimony from three gen.
erations indicates that he is
just about the ablest man in
The Stars employ in this
century.
That may be narrowing it
a bit. He finished the last
century, helping to distribute
the extras during the Span
iSh-American War. But he
was a boy then. 1t was after
he learned his trade that he
came into his own. He could
do just about anything
necessary for the production
Of the paper.
In 1912 he got out an extra
edition almost single-hand-
edly on the night Theodore
Roosevelt was shot in Mil
Waukee.
Dave was the foster father
Of generations of apprentices.
The apprenticeship in the
Typographical Union is six
years and at times things
can be very diScouraging.
But no young man ever went
to Dave without being helped.
And many a young news
paperman and girls starting
IN the society department
and women's pages learned
something very important
about the business from him
how copy is cut and sent
to. the linotype machines,
how it is put together in the
galleys and then in the page
forms and how to mark
proofs.
One thing impressed every
one who saw him walking
between the machines in
white shirt sleeves and French
cuffs-he rarely rolled them
up-he was always immacu-
late; never an inkstain.
My first acquaintance with
him was during the last war.
I had a piece that called for
several lines of Greek verse.
1t didn't faze him. He took a
stick" the holder for hand
set type, went to a dusty case
and set it letter perfect. Do
you think he would have had
any trouble making Phi Beta
Kappa?
He hasn't changed a bit
since then. And that's what
everyone who had met him
In MS mlQQle years SAID the
other night. But there was
a younger Dave McCarty I
would have liked to know.
That was the Dave McCarty
whose bowling average was so
high that he was asked to
join the Fatmen's Club. He
never weighed more than
100. They needed an anchor
man. He joined and they
led the league.
