THE HIGHWAY CONTROVERSY
Freewoys, Transit Both Needed

Harland Bartholomew, city
planner and for many years
chairman of the National Cap
ital Planning Commission, put
it this way:
THE sewer lines. the water
lines, the pavements, the roads
and other facilities are already
in for the next 20 years
growth. They fix the patterns
of growth and they are al
ready there"
Mr.. Bartholomew disagreeS
with those who say the COM
pletion of the planned freeway
program in the region will hurt
the chances of rapid transit
getting built. He contends the
argument is more logical if put
the other way:
There is no chance, he argues,
of getting a rapid rail system
built here unless the freeways
are built first. This is because
the extra wide median strips
of the highways will provide
the cheapest right of way for
the rail lines.
Without acquiring this right
of way along with future free
ways, Mr.. Bartholomew says,
the financial headache con-
fronting the rapid rail planners
would be too great.
Point to Freeway Buses
Highway officials also insist
that transit advocates are miss
ing a bet when they forget how
much benefit may be realized
through greatly expanded eX-
press bus service on freeways
They argue that effective rapid
transit should not rest alone
on the development of a rail.

Mr.. MoStel was born in

bi. He never had a great

himself through college dur

after that, he taught art and
painted. He started doing
satirical chalk-talkS at house
parties in the Bronx for $3

wiches he could eat, and that
was the beginning of show
business. He moved from
house parties to night clubs
to theater.

DC. Heads Support
Relocation Plan
All Displaced
Would Receive
Same Benefits
BY SAM EASTMAN
Sta- Staff Mrlter

A long debated proposal that
the District set up a central
service TO help families moved
out of their homes by Govern
ment action was Endorsed
today by the Commissioners.
The plan. which would re-
quire congressional approval, is
to provide the same help, in
Guiding moving expense pay
ments, to all of these displaced
families.
The city now has two major
relocation services. This dual
setup has been under fire from
several points, with the WASH
ington Housing Association
leading the attacks.
The District Redevelopment
Land Agency helps the families
it displaces for redevelopment
projects. RLA's services in
clude the moving payments.
which average about $50 per
family.
Second Service Set Up
About two years ago, the
Commissioners established a
relocation service within the
Welfare Department for resi-
dents moved out by municipal
action. The projects here in
clude highway and school con-
Struction and enforcement Of
the city's housing code.
/ The families in this second
category do not get moving
money. Another difference is
that RIA, by law, must GER
tify that housing is available
for the families it displaces
before the redevelopment prof.
ects can be authorized. This
is not true for the displaced
families handled by the two
year-old Welfare Department
service.
The Commissioners support
today for a central relocation
service was given informally
during a discussion of a report
submitted by the city's manage
ment office. The Commission
ers postponed formal action or
details and procedures fol
carrying out this project.
y Positive Approach" Asked
d After pursuing the relocat tior
e study. Commissioner John B
r Duncan called for a positive
approach" to establishing a new
central displacement service.
Mr.. Duncan said city officials
: should push ahead on the prof.
ect with cost figures and recon-
mendations on any needed legal
actions.
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner said the proposed new
service should combine the
best features of both Of the
current relocation setups. This
would include payments to de-
fray moving expenses, Mr.. To-
briner explained. Engineer
Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke said all three Commits
sioners we're agreed that the
long-range goal is to give equal
aid to all displaced residents
under some single agency.
At today'S meeting, the Com
misSioners approved staff
recommendation for a housing
inventory.
The Management office re-
port estimated that about TO-
500 families would be displaced
by Government action during
the five-year period beginning
last year-from 1861 to 1865.
Of these, about $500 would
be moved out for District Gov
ernment projects.

At the same time, highway
proponents say, without going
ahead with the freeways con-
sidered essential, the city will
decay. Freeways, they contend,
will provide one of the cures
for economic and social ills
that are now creeping over the
face of the city as a result
of traffic congestion and blight.
They urge that freeway plan
ming and construction con-
tinue while the National Capt.
tai Transportation Agency also
continues it's studies for rapid
transit. Once the rapid transit
plan is accepted, they say,
then efforts should be strong
in fulfilling rapid transit goals.
Balanced System
What is needed, the planners
say, is a balanced tranSporta-
tion system-one that includes
freeways as well as rapid transit
for the best solution to the
region-wide problem.
Some planners are con-
cerned that the argument for
and against the freewayS has
created the impression that
those favoring the highway
program do not favor rapid
transit.
Mr.. Bartholomew spoke for
those who have not lost sight
of a balanced transportation
system when he said:
There is definitely going to
be need for rapid transit lines,
Automobiles will never be able

cal scientists said that most

Hit Duckett Ruling
Mr.. David and Mr.. Eisen-
berg criticized the decision by
Maryland Circuit Court Judge
%. Bowie Duckett which
blocked reappprtionment of the
Maryland State Senate.
The two political scientists
said that Judge Duckett, in de-
clining to invalidate the con-
stitutional provisions for ap-
portionment Of the Maryland
Senate, defended his action on
principles of federalism, leav-
ing every county with a sin
gle State Senator and the City
of Baltimore with six.
"The City Of Baltimore is an
Independent city, comparable
to a county in its legal status,
and the rational basis by which
it can be allowed six State
Senators while the heavily
populated counties near Wash
ington, d. c., and Baltimore
can each continue with one is
not readily apparent" Mr..
David and Mr.. Eisenberg said.
They added that if the Su-i
preme Court should uphold
Judge Duckett's decision, there
might be as many as is or 20
States in which further at
tempts would promptly be made
to amend State constitutions on
a basis highly adverse to urban
