UP TO NOW, the sociolo-
gists haven't really advanced
, much beyond that statement,
whatever 1t means. They even
have a great deal Of trouble
deciding what a city really
, Is. One said:
"offhand, one might say
that 1t is a large body Of
people living in a relatively
small area. That, however,
would be a very inadequate
definition A compre-
hensive definition Of the
modern city must indicate
that 1t Is a legal, political,
economic, and social unit all
rolled into one"
This, II seems TO us, fairly
well sums up the almost non
existent contributions made
by sociologists, so far, to the
knowledge upon which the
fashioning Of cities Of the
future can be properly based.
Z So maybe the sociologists
/ should leave the fate Of cities

are the practitioners In the
field of "ekistics"-a science
having TO do with establish
ing homes and neighbor-
hoods. Both those words also
derive from "oikos," mean
ing house"

even better word than ekis-
toloeists. They called the

The Greeks Had
A Better Word
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

tMTHEN THE GREEKS in
2 w vented a word for it,
they started something.
: The word was "oikos"--
meaning "house."
I A lot Of fancy words in
English trace back to "oikos."
ECONOMY" is one. Liter
ally, 1t means "house man
agement."
Z Another English word
derived from "oikos" is
GEOLOGY. 1t means the study
Of living things In their own
( house, habitat or environ
sment.
Z Sociologists love this word.
They use 1t any chance they
get. Partly because-it can
tbe assumed-very few of the
rest Of us have ever heard
of It, and because they seem
to prefer to talk only to each
other In a lingo Of their
,own.)
2 About 40 years ago, soci-
,ologists began to muscle in
ION city affairs. They were
looking around for some
thing important to talk
about to give themselves
status In their newly or
ganized field. First thing you
knew, they had come up
with an geological theory
sof the city"
This was the first of many
soffbeat means by which the
ssociologists for, 10, these
many years, have sought to
Influence the life around
them. Whether they really
knew what they we're talking
about didn't really matter so
much. What was really i'm
poftant was to develop a
ttheory-and then try to con-
vince the world it was the
right one.

among politicians calling on
the Governor in the 10 days
since the special court decision.
there is a detectable-though
still minute--note of optimism
over chances Of a Supreme
Court reversal.
Politicians we're deeply con-
cerned Immediately after the de-
cision because the filing dead
line for party primaries is April
10. Some felt that II Virginia
appealed the decision and the
Supreme Court refused to delay
the lower courts order and
failed to rule by April 10, all
l40 members of the General
Assembly would have to run
at-large next year.
But cooler heads looked up
the election laws and concluded
that, theoretically at least. Vir-
ginia would have amost seven
months Of maneuvering time If
the Supreme Court delays the
lower courts order.
The Democratic primary IRE
publicans normally nominate
by convention) must be held
on July 9. II the Supreme Court
poStpones a decision beyond
the April 10 primary filing
deadline, it still would be pos
sible for candidates to file and
a Democratic convention to
"indorse" candidates at any
time prior to July 0.
Party Labels Out
Stretching 1t to Its ultimate
limit, it is possible for 'inde-
pendents" to file 10 days after
the primary-or until July 10
Conceivably. If time we're the
important factor in waiting out
q court appeal, candidates could
file as independents" as late
as July 10 and there would b,
nothing to prevent the Demo
cratic Party from calling a con
vention to indorse its partieula
slate Of candidates.
For all practical purposes tn
effects would be the same be
cause there are no party label
on Virginia ballots in the No
vember election. Democratic
candidates would still be know
for what they are, although
without official nomination o
their party.
State leaders encountered IL
capitol corridors say, almost
without exception, that they
think Virginia doesn't have q
chance with its appeal to the
Supreme Court, but then
hopefully, they ask: do you?'
Yet there is a feeling among
a few that Virginia has a
chance Of winning q reversal
In the first place there are the
six applications for appeal now

One Of the ironies connected
with the Virginia case is thai
the State must appeal directly
to Chief Justice Warren tC
grant a delay and appeal. There
probably is no public figure in
this nation who has drawn
more condemnation from Vir-
ginia politicians than the Chief
Justice since the 1854 school

Gas Users to Get

P. u. c. Backs
Plan, Final
OK Certain
BY DAN GOTTLIEB
star staff Writer

On January 1, Washington
area gas customers soon VIII
start benefiting from a lower
gas rate and q $3.8 million re-
fund from the Washington Gas
Light Co.. according to a plan
approved by the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The plan must be okayed by
Maryland and Virginia regula-
tory agencies before it can be
put into effect, but this ap-
proval Is expected. according
to a gas company spokesman.
The approval Of the other two
agencies is needed to put the
plan into effect in the District.
he said, because the company
would be faced with unreason-
able administrative costs IL it
did not use a uniform system
Of making the refund to Gus
toners in all jurisdictions.
Under the District commits
sion plan, the company's ap-
proximately 414,000 customers
will receive the refund as cred
its on their bills over a l2-
month period.
Ordered by FPC
The refund is the result of
money returned from the COM
pany'S natural gas supplier,
Atlantic Seaboard Corp. The
refund was ordered by the Fed
eral Power Commission in a
partial settlement Of a rate
case. 1t represents excess
charges for slightly more than
two years while the case was
pending.
The amount Of each CUSTOM
er's refund will vary according
to the amount of gas used. It
will average about 81 per Gus
toner.
The District commission said
the company, at its urging. has
agreed for the first time to
return interest on the refund
received from its supplier as
well as interest accumulated
on the undistributed portion Of
the refund during the 12-month
refund period.
I'm prior years. when refunds
(from the gas supplier) were
received, the interest portion
was retained by the company
to relieve 1t Of paying gross
receipts taxes-a method de-
termined by the PUG. to be
unfair to the consumers" the
commission said.
Higher Rate Allowed
1 While rate cases are pending
before the Federal commission.
the gas supplier may charge
the higher rates it has applied
for, and these in turn are passed
on to the gas company's
customers.
If lower rates subsequently
are ordered. the company. In
addition to returning excess
amounts collected from Gus
toners, is entitled to recover
excess grosS-receipts taxes It
has paid on the basis of the
higher rates, a District COM
mission spokesman explained.
In the past. the company was
allowed to retain the interest
to recoup this excess tax pay
ment, but in recent years II
has received more interest than
it overpaid in taxes. he
explained.
On this refund. the interest
amounted to about $4,000
The commission plan allows the
company to charge about
$l65.000 against this interest
for excess gross-receipts taxes
paid.

LiberaIized
Foster Home
Code Sought
Welfare Advisers
Try to Cut Load
At Junior Village
BY BETTY MILES
Star staff Writer

The Public Welfare Advisory
Council will hold an emergency
session Tuesday on the prob
lem Of finding foster homes
quickly to relieve serious over
crowding at Junior Village.
The meeting was called by
]. E. Bindeman, council chair
man.
The council will act on q
report of its child welfare
committee, whose chairman Is
Mrs. Hobart A. Spalding.
Five-POint Plan
The committee is expected to
recommend:
/. That the council press for
liberalization of regulations
affecting foster homes.
2. That foster home board
rates be raised.
8. That group foster homes
be set UP.
4. That welfare should ac-
cept qualified families as foster
parents for small children even
though the foster parents will
only be in the city q short
time. The present practice is
not to approve foster parents
who know they will be leaving
Washington in two years or
less.
5. That additional welfare
personnel be transferred imme-
diately to foster home work in
the Child Welfare Division so
prospective foster parents can
get prompt attention.
Stringent Code
Under present regulations,
foster homes must comply with
building code and health regu-
lations.
If a home is to shelter one
or two children, the Welfare
Department sends data on the
home to the Health Depart
ment. The Health Department
determines whether the house
is suitable.
If more than two children
are involved. inspection by
building and health authorities
on the site is required.
Inspection by from three to
five different bureaus Of these
two arms of Government re.
suits in an average lapse Of two
and q half months before the
application is acted on, anC
can produce a lapse Of as higl
as 8 or Z months.
Other Restrictions
The houses must comply witt
the building code in respect h
light and air. The code. TO
example, doesn't permit use o
a room without outside air o.
light. II an outside porch haI
been enclosed, the bedroom
next to 1t then has no outsidG
exposure, and its use by anyone
in the house violates the code
Even though the foster chilC
himself wouldn't be sleeping II
the room. the house still woulC
not be approved.
1t is believed many families
who could provide good fostel
homes care are eliminated be.
cause their homes don't meet
the building regulations.
Junior Village has passed the
700 mark. It has q capacity
of 800.
The advisory council makes
recommendations to the Dis.
tFict Commissioners.

escape the Unreal OF q lower
Federal Court to realign re-
presentation in the Legislature.
A three-judge court declared
Virginia's reapportionment acts
In violation Of the Fourteenth
Amendment (equal protection
clause) of the Federal Con-
stitution and gave the State
until January 81 to correct the
situation.
It found there was "invidi-
Gus discrimination" specifically
against the populous Northern
Virginia and Norfolk areas.
Last night, State Republican
Chairman Horace e. Hender-
son accused Gov. Harrison and
State Democrats Of playing
partisan politics against the in
terests and rights Of all Vir-
ginians in appealing the reap
portionment decision.
"It is regrettable that Gov.
Harrison has decided not to
call a special session Of the
General Assembly to adopt a
fair and equitable reapportion-
ment and that he has resorted
to the unnecessary delay of
making an appeal to the Su-
preme Court" said Mr.. Hen
derson.
He said that while the Re-
publican Party Of Virginia has
historically opposed interven-
tion Of the Federal Government
and the Federal courts into the
affairs of Virginia, it is clear in
this case that, had the Demo-
cratic-controlled General AS
sembly met its responsibility
under the laws of Virginia to
enact a reasonably fair and
equitable reapportionment,
there would have been no basis
whatsoever for the intervention
OF Federal courts.
Nearly every political figure
believes a special session Of the
General Assembly will have to
to be called prior to the Janu.
airy 81 deadline.
Risks Involved
But Gov. Harrison yielded
to pressure to call a special
session at once to apportion
the State along lines more ac-
ceptable to the court, he would
have run two big political risks: /:
l. He would have been ac-
cused by his Southside friends
and other Byrd organization
adherents Of failing to make
a last ditch fight" for States
rights. Similar charges were
made by holdout segregation
lists against his predecessor,
former Gov. j. Lindsay Al
mond. jr.. when he broke from
the massive resistance" ap-
proach to integration In public
schools.
2. He also would have been
in a difficult position If Vir-
ginia had decided not to ap-
peal. II a special session gave
urban areas more representa-
ton and the Supreme Court
later accepted reapportion-
ment in another State that
EN- e d less equitable than
virginia's.
Six States. New York, Mary
land, Georgia. Alabama, Mich
igan and Oklahoma. presently
have applications with the
Supreme Court to review
apportionment decisions.
