The Fine Arts Commission, a
body usually ready to express
its views on what is or is not
beautiful for the Nations Cap
ital, today ducked behind closed
doors to discuss the contro-
verSial memorial proposed for
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
In open session the commits
sion listened for nearly two
hours to arguments for and
against the memorial.
But when the time came for
the members to discuss their
own views of the design, a
grouping of monolithic white
slabs to contain excerpts from
President Roosevelt's speeches,
they decided to carry on "in-
formally" without the presence
of press or public.
Francis Biddle, chairman of
the Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Memorial Commission, which
has approved the design, told
the fine arts group he had
hoped it would decide the ques-
tion today.
ROOSevelt'S Wishes
Mr.. Biddle led off the pres
entation favoring the memo
rial which would be located in
West Potomac Park, by denying
that wishes expressed by Roose-
velt for his own memorial
should be the determining
factor.
Rather, Mr.. Biddle said, it
is for "the people who survive
and love him" to determine the
kind of memorial.
A Fine Arts Commission mem
Der, Ralph Walker, a New York
architect, asked Mr.. Biddle a
series of questions which ap-
parently reflected whatever
doubts his fellow commission
members may have about the

DC. Directed
To Revise Bill
On Renewal
House Unit Seeks
To Suve Points
In Rubuut PIun

A House District subcommit-
tee today ordered city officials
to redraft an urban renewal
bill to protect private property
owners and guard against |
fraud.
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick Clarke promised at an
executive subcommittee meet
ing this morning to try to work
out compromise legislation with
the Federal City Council.
Subcommittee Chairman
Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
wants major features Of the
pending bill, proposed by the
Federal City Council, combined
with the so-called Rabaut bill, |
which was passed by the House
in June, 1860.
The late Representative Ra-
baut, Democrat of Michigan,
wrote his own bill demanding
that at least so per cent of the
Southwest be improved before
any other redevelopment prof.
ect could be started. The Ra-
baut bill also would centralize
administration along the same
lines as the council bill.
Protection Demanded
Chairman Smith said today
he would support no bill with
out a guarantee of competitive
bidding for land. Private prop
erty owners must be protected
from the blight" cast on their
land by the mere designation
of a section as a renewal area,
he added.
Gen. Clarke said he would
take the subcommittee sugges-
tions to Samuel H. Kaufman,
chairman of the urban renewal
committee of the Federal City
Council at a luncheon tomor-
row.
The general suggested one
way out OF the dilemma would
be to split urban renewal legis-
lation into an "organizational
bill" and an omnibus bill"
After the subcommittee meet
ing, Chairman Smith specu-
lated that 1--WE might bring out
a bill in pieces"
Primarily, the council draft
combines the present Redevel-
opment Land Agency and the
National Capital Housing Au-
thority into a single District
Renewal and Housing Agency
under direct control of the Dis
trict Commissioners. Now the
RIA oversees renewal and the
NCHA manages public housing.
While the council bill deals
primarily with government Or
ganization, the Smith subcom-
mittee is concerned with pro-
tecting the public from govern
ment renewal action and
economies in the program
itself.
II want these people to know
that the House will not take
a renewal bill completely diff
ferent from one it passed be-
fore" Representative Smith
explained. Yet, he is for the
reorganization proposed in the
council version.
Two Problems Cited
He would add, however, Ian
guage still to be drafted at
tacking these problems:
Land acquisition - The city
has sold land to private devel-
opers without competitive bid
ding, baSing the decision, for
the most part, on the designs of
renewed areas.
II am not saying anything
has been wrong with what the
city is doing" Mr.. Smith said.
"But they have opened the
door to favoritism and fraud"
Hardship on property owners
Chairman Smith cited the
designation of the 90 acre,
Northwest urban renewal area
as an example of a kind of wise
paralyzing private land i'm
provement.

UGF Budget Drops
Hospital Screening

resolution asking reconsidera-
ton of the change.
But the new budget says that
"basic service elements" of
HSA'S old program will be re-
tanned. Hospital Council
spokesmen also point out that
some suburban areas already
act Independently in screening
and counseling without aid of
the District office of the HSA.
Hospitals in the District
already do a partial screening
of applicants seeking aid. Now
they will do the whole job,
instead of sending the appli-
cant to the HSA.
| Where HSA has been arrang-
ing for some patients to pay
part of their expenses through
small payments over many
months, the hospital staffs will
take over this job.
The Hospital Council will
have small staff to spotcheck
hospitals decisions and to
maintain central records, as
did HSA, to prevent persons
from shopping around" from
hospital to hospital to get con-
tinuous free care.
Some physicians within the
District Medical Society do not
feel this new arrangement will
work as well as it looks on
paper. The physicians are in
volved in two ways: They
helped set up the HSA orig
inally and many of them give
their time so that poor pa
tients get free medical care
along with their free or partly
free disqualification.
These physicians want to
make sure that the patients
they are treating free are truly
poor and not free-loaders. They
also feel it important that,
when possible, patients should
pay as much of their hospital
ization as possible through
long-term payments like those
arranged by HSA.
William M. Bucher, executive
director of the Hospital Coun-
Gil, said yesterday the council
agrees that patients should pay
as much as possible. 1t is the
councils hope, he said, that the
ill-collecting staffs already set
up at each hospital for regular
patients can take on these spe-
cial, long-term bills at little
extra cost-and perhaps collect
a greater percentage of the
special patients debts.
May Appeal
Some of the physicians how
ever, are not completely salts
fled and say they may take
their case to UGF's board
which could rule the de-
cision to end HSA's services in
the District.
The total disqualification aid
budget for 1862 is 1907, ,267.
About $4,000 of the total is
for administration of the pro-
gram. This includes operation
of HSA through April l, when
the new plan will take over.
The rest $271, ,720-iS for
patient care.
This budget anticipates that
200 adults and 500 newborn
infants will get patients care
and $500 applicants will re-
ceive out-patient care in the
District through this UGF pro-
gram.

In his initial address to the
General Assembly on Monday,
Gov. Harrison avoided making
any commitment on the with
holding plan which his prede-
cessor, j. Lindsay Almond, had
offered as a means of financing
the proposed $1.4 billion State
budget for the next two years
Yesterday, he told a ques-
toner that he saw no alterna-
tive "at the present time" to
the withholding plan as o
means of bridging the gap be-
tween estimated revenues and
anticipated expenditures.
II do not regard withholding,
per Sc, as an increase in taxes. .
he declared.
He acknowledged that ii
would reach some people who
now escape taxes, but sas;
THAT doesn't mean I'm neces-
sarily for Withholding"
Pope Proposes Increase
Gov. Harrison said he hac
given absolutely no considera.
ton" to any increase in ths
State income tax rates.
An increase in income ta2
rates had been proposed earlier
yesterday by Delegate Sam
Pope as a Stop-gap measure tc
ward off the withholding plar
while the study of finances pro-
posed by Gov. Harrison is
undertaken.
Coupled with former Gov
Almonds withholding propose
was a recommended change in
income tax exemptions.
Gov. Harrison acknowledged
that this would amount to an
increase for some persons. He
took no stand on the proposal,
however.
The press conference touched
on a number of other issues,
including tuition grants and
daylight time.
Gov. Harrison made it clear
he is against bill by the Roa-
noke delegation making it op-
tional for localities to withdraw
from the States tuition grant
program.
Another measure, being pre-
pared by Delegate Tom Frost
of Warrenton, imposing Eastern
standard time throughout the
State IL months each year
drew from Gov. Harrison the
comment that he stands behind
his earlier recommendation for
uniform daylight saving time
from Memorial Day to Labor
Day, and standard time every
where the remainder of the
year. Legislation carrying out
the Governors recommendation
is being prepared.

velt's reputation, why it must
be contemporary" and why
it must be made Of concrete.
Mr.. Biddle replied that the
Presidents words and the de-
sign will be living symbols
and bring back the memory
of his greatness" He likened
this to the response one gets
in reading the Gettysburg Ad-
dress at the Lincoln Memorial
Concrete is not altogether
satisfactory, Mr.. Biddle said
but it is cheaper. He said some
consideration is now being given
to use of marble facing if
enough money can be raised.
Designers Views
On the other hand, he said
he has been assured by experts
that there will be no cracking
in the concrete slabs, about
which some of the fine arts
members appeared to be con-
cerned.
Contemporary design for the
memorial was chosen, Mr.. Bid
die answered, because it re-
fleets a period that has been
established so firmly we can
say that it is American.
William F. Peterson, one of
the architects who designed
the proposed memorial, char
acterized the design as "con-
temporary sculpture" and as
serted, 1--WE have created in
this monument a truly mid
Goth century art form"
Praise for the design came
from Pietro BelluSchi, dean of
architecture at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology
and chairman of the jury that
chose the design out of nearly
600 submitted.

ON THE FARM there were

ON THE FARM there were
always a few hills of pop
corn, a hard yellow corn
with pointed kernels. Frank
Meyer, the hired farmer,
would strip it at harvest time
without removing the husks
from the stem. He would nail
the husks to a rafter in the
barn and they might remain
there for two or three years
before we got around to
using them.
There was always more
popcorn hanging from the
rafters than a family could
use..
The popping cage with the
long handle and patent agi-
tator had just been invented.
Before that corn was popped
in a covered pan on the
kitchen range with a little
butter to keep the kernels
from burning,
But the cage was more fun.
After they had shelled the
corn the children could do
their own popping at the log
fireplace. Sometimes shelling
the corn wasn't easy. The
kernels were firmly set and
their points could hurt.
Sometimes the corn simply
would not pop. It was ex-
planned that we had taken
down an ear that was too
dry. We were sent out to get
another. y
Usually it popped fine and
soon the cage was opened
and the snow white little
puffs of corn emptied in a
big bowl to be Swished
around until all had alb
sorbed a little butter, then
Salted plentifully.
An apple, one of the hard
winter varieties, with pop
corn before the open fire
was quite a treat.
We even used popcorn to
decorate the tree one winter.
Used a darning needle and
strong cotton thread to
string them in garlandS. We
dipped the loops in Easter
egg dyes of varying colorS
before hanging them on the
tree.
We moved into the city
two generations before the
Good Humor man with his
jangling bell began to make
his appearance. But the pop
corn man would get the
same effect when he would
toot his steam whistle. The
kids would rush to find hid
den nickels and rush back to
buy a little bag filled with
one scoopful from the floor
of the glass pepper. Then the
popcorn man would pour on
the melted butter generous
ly from a granite coffee pot.

AUGUST TAKES REINs
Mulvey Steps Down
AS Roider Grid Coach
BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

Veteran Fred Mu1vey has
stepped down as head football
coach at Western High School
and turned over the reins to
Frank August. Mu1vey has
coached the Raiders since l941.
Mulvey, So, will continue at
Western as a teacher and
coach. He will assist August,
who switched from Roosevelt,
with football, and viii be the
head golf coach.
The announcement came
from Hardy Pearce, the Dis
trict's athletic head who played
college football with Mulvey at
George Washington University
in the i930s. Mulvey was an
end in football, a forward in
basketball and an outfielder in
baseball at CIV before gradu-
ating in 1888.
A native of East Providence,
r. L, Mulvey coached at Cor
don Junior High School from
1884 to 194l, when he took over
as head coach at Western. He's
been at the same post ever
since. making him the oldest
head football coach in the Dis
trict in length Of service.
Mulvey will teach history
and physical education at
Western, in addition to his
coaching duties.
The veteran coach said he
to get experience teach
ing in another field and the
opportunity was too good to
pass up"
Over his 2l years at West
ern, Mulvey has developed
many Outstanding football
players. but probably the most
famous were Ray Krouse. who
starred at Maryland and in
the National Football League,
and Jim Bakhtiar. the Iranian
who played center at Western
and went on to become o su-
per-star as a fullback at Vir-
ginia.
Mulvey's biggest moments
during his long career came in
1945 and 1852, when Western
got into the Interhigh League
championship game. However,
the Raiders lost both games,
to Eastern in 1945 and Wilson
in 1852.
In 1912, Mulvey's second at
Western, he was referred to in
newspaper columns as one of
the outstanding young scho-
lastic coaches in the country.
