School Supt. Carl F. Hansen.
DR.. Hansen said yesterday at

that the Amidon program con-

Prince Georges County's pur-
chasing personnel agent yes
terday was moved to a new
job as building superintendent
as the County Commissioners
created a position of personnel
chief.
The change, involving George
S. Koonce. was the second in
a week made by the county
heads and came a month after
the release of a Prince Georges
Civic Federation committee re-
port blasting certain aspects
of county government.
A major complaint in the re-
port was that the county buys
gasoline for it's vehicles for
one-half cent a gallon more
than paid by the school board.
AS superintendent of county
buildings and grounds, Mr..
Koonce will head a new office
under the director of public
works. He will prepare budg-
cts for building repairs and
maintenance and oversee the
custodial force.
Report No Influence
Jesse S. Baggett, chairman of
the county commissioners, said
the change does not reflect on
Mr.. Koonce's record as pur-
chasing personnel chief, and
was not influenced by the fed
Grafton committee report.

Renewal Bill Wins
Unanimous Support
D. c. Officials.
Meet Smith in
Closed Session
BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star staff Writer

Unanimous support Of a bill
designed to consolidate urban
renewal machinery in the Dis
trict was repeatedly reached
today after a closed meeting
of District officials and Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat of
Virginia.
The bill is that originally
drawn up by the Federal City
Council last January and in
troduced by Chairman McMil-
Ian of the House District Com
mittee.
The council is an organiza-
ton of civic leaders and busi.
nessmen pledged to revitalize
Washington as a place to live
and in which to do business.
Today's meeting was at
tended by the three District
Commissioners, representatives
of the Federal City Council,
staff members of the District
Committee, and Mr.. Smith,
who heads subcommittee han
ding the legislation.
Both Bills Die
The bill failed to win ap-
proval of the subcommittee last
session. Another version was
drafted by the subcommittee,
but it too died at adjourn
lment.
/ The Federal City Councils
bill was arrived at after the
House District Committee re-
queSted the organization to
examine delays in the redevel-
/ opment program.
Basically, it attempts to place
/ the. responsibility for all urban
renewal activities in the hands
of the District Commissioners
to speed the operation. Also, un-
der the proposed legislation, the
Redevelopment Land Agency
and the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority would be abol-
ished and then consolidated
into a D. c. Renewal and Hous-
ing Agency.
Administers Plan
At present. the RIA admin
listers the city's urban renewal
program while NCHA supervises
public housing.
Another controversial ele-
ment of the councils bill would
diminish the role of the Ma
: tional Capital Planning Com
mission by limiting it to ar
advisory capacity in urban re-
newal projects. The commits
sion now has veto power over
redevelopment proposals ar
rived at by the RIA.
The substitute draft would
have transferred RIA and
NCHA to the District Govern
ment as a department of city
government.
