Under Stain, every artist
had to worry about what he
wrote. He lived with what Mr..
Pogodin called an internal

head. 1t was a fearful existence,
and many of the Soviet Unions
most talented artists were ar
rested and executed.
But there was something in
the 1930s, Mr.. Pogodin said,
that often brought out the best
in writer's. "The finest plays
are often written in the most
difficult situations" he said,
noting that some Of his best
work was written but not al
ways produced-under Stain.
Some people cannot believe
that some of my plays were
written in those years." he
said.
Soviet theaters under Pre-
mier Khrushchev are freer, Mr..
Pogodin said, but it is wrong
to suppose that all was black

for urban renewal in many
other neighborhoods which
they said needed it more.
Robert B. Norris, the coun.
cil's president, unveiled the
citizen plan publicly last night
at the Washington Gallery OF
Art, 3005 M street NV. Pre-
viously it was submitted pri-
vately to the National Capital
Planning Commission.
Preparation of the program
was frankly an effort of the
council to revive the now
moribund proposal that urban
renewal powers be employed to
improve the 97-acre section
south Of M street.
Georgetown citizen groups
are split over use of urban
renewal powers in the neigh
borhood. The fullest support
has been offered in the past
by the 70-member council
which Mr.. Norris heads.
The report calls Whitehurst
freeway an enormous OBJ
Stacle" and "unattractive."
However, the council said it
was willing to accept the pres
ent elevated expressway, and
Mrs. Smiths proposal
as an "optimal" one.
Under her plan, the eight
lane expressway would be cov-
cred and concealed. Four lanes
would be located below the ex-
isting K street and four addi-
tional lanes would use land
Just north of it.

MISS WAGNER remembers
that Hitler used to sneak
into the house for visits.
He'd let us play with his
pistol and tell us stories Of
his escapades. I have seen
him relaxed and when he
even had a good sense Of
humor and other times when
he seemed really insane. But
those fits of his were by in
tent. He knew exactly what
he was doing. Like d virtuoSo
he played on the German
people. He knew Just what
emotions to pluck.
whenever we wanted a
special favor from mother
we would ask Hitler to inter-
cede. Once my sister wanted
to play hockey from school.
There was a luncheon and
after Goering and Goebbels
and Hitler were in the
library. I entered, making
loud coughing noises. When
they noticed me I asked Hit
Ter If he had spoken to my
mother yet and he said no
and I said that when he did
would he please make it
convincing.

mother he suddenly started

If it were a State. This number
also is two.
The constitutional amend
ment route has been chosen
because the Constitution says
the States" shall have Sena-
tors and Representatives.
State Issue Raised
Senator Case called attention
to another constitutional guar
antee: That no State without
its consent shall be deprived
of its equal suffrage in the
Senate.
Granting the District two
Senators would dilute, dimin-
ish and deprive" States Of their
equal voice in the Senate, Sen
ator Case maintained. He
stressed that the equality-of-
States proviso was designed to
protect the less-populous States.
In Senator Cases view, the
Constitution could not be
amended to let District resi-
dents elect two Senators with
out turning the District itself
into a State.
That the founding fathers
never intended the District to
become a State has been an
argument of District repre-
sentation champions for years.
The Board of Trade sugges-
ton would make Congress, in
effect, the judge of how to pro-
tect the equal voice Of States
in a Senate including a Dis
trict member or members.
Language Suggested
Language first suggested to
the board by former House
Judiciary Committee Chair
man Hatton Summers of Texas
would accomplish this. Mr..
Press urged the Senate sub
committee to reconsider this
language:
That Congress have the
power to provide that there
should be in the Congress
members elected by the people
of the District in such numbers
and with such powers as the
Congress should determine.
"It would still be necessary,
after clearing this amendment,
to get legislation through Con-
gress specifying how many
Representatives, if any, and
how many Senators, if any, the
District would have" Mr.. Press
said.
But he said the board was
convinced from practical expe-
rience in a century long fight
for suffrage that this general
amendment would overcome
the major problem of securing
representation in Congress and
that some satisfactory form
of congressional representation
subsequently would be provided
by Congress"

The Merrywood rezoning case,

The county planning COM

vote last night, ordered a new
public hearing on the last
months rezoning of the Merry
wood estate for high-rise apart
ments. The commissioners said
they would try to set a hearing

Mclean citizens and their

ton highway projects from the
study stage to a construction
start.
BY a 2-to-l vote. the Board of
Commissioners has recon-
mended junking the Districts
plan to build the Inner Loop
systems east leg along the
Eleventh street route.
The new proposal, reported
yesterday to a congressional
committee, is to study the feas-
ibility of building this freeway
leg along the west bank of the
Anacostia River.
The impetus for the boards
reversal came from Commits
sioner Walter N. Tobriner. He
was joined by Commissioner
John B. Duncan. Engineer
Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke, who has direct response
bility for the city's highway
program, stood firm against the
proposal to drop the Eleventh
street plan.
Displacement Factor
Mr.. Tobriner's major argu-
ment was that the District
should avoid the displacement
impact on the families living
in the path Of the Eleventh
street route. One of the Com
missioners' biggest headaches
is the shortage Of decent hous-
ing for families moved out Of
their homes by Government &C
ton.
The Commissioners yesterday
reported their freeway split
to members of an appropia-
tions subcommittee handling
the Districts budget requests
for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
City highway officials, mean
while, reported their estimate
that it would take from three
to five years to clear the hur-
dies for construction of a free
way link by the Aanacostis
River.
In addition to such steps al

be needed from the National
Capital Planning Commission,
the Bureau of Public Roads
and. because park land is in
volved, the Interior Depart
ment, officials noted. Legisla-
ton might be needed if Park
Service officials opposed a river
route, they added.
Bipartisan Applause
The new stand by the Board
of Commissioners, meanwhile,
drew an enthusiastic reaction
from the local Democratic or
ganization. From the Repub-
lican side. the comment also
was favorable. though more re-
strained.
We're delighted" said Joseph
l.. Rauh. jr., vice chairman of
the Democratic Central Com
mittee.
Our position has been that
the entire acceleration Of the
District road program should
be held up until we get the
mass transit report (due No
vember / from the National
Capital Transportation Agen-
cy). Then the two programs
can be made to work together"
Carl l.. Shipley. chairman Of
the Republican State Central
Committee, said: We're pretty
much lined up with the re-
ported position Of Commission
er Tobriner."
The Republican organization.
Mr.. Shipley said, has taken the
position that appropriations for
new highway projects should
be held up until the mass
transit recommendations are
made public.
Mr.. Shipley added that his
group is "very much concerned
with the Eleventh street route"
in particular.
Last Monday, Mr.. Tobriner
told the appropriations sub
committee that he wanted TO
drop the Eleventh street plan
and make the river route
study. The statement at the
closed budget session caught
his fellow Commissioners and
the committee members by
surprise.
Decision Tuesday
The committee, headed by
Representative hatcher, Dem
ocrat of Kentucky, told the
Commissioners to report back
on their formal position on the
freeway matter. The 2-to-1
vote came at an executive ses-
sion Tuesday.
In addition to the point on
displacement Of the families,
Mr.. Tobriner told subcommit-
tee members he believed his
plan would be less costly. It
would mean, he said, that
plans for a giant interchange
designed just northeast Of the
Naval Weapons Plant at Elev-
enth street Sc. could be scaled
down.
1t was lie arne d today that
Mr.. Tobriner last month for
warded a report to the White
House that said there was little
likelihood that q freeway could
be built by the Anacostia Rivers
The report, submitted in re-
sponse to an inquiry, noted
that the highway would have,
to be built through parkland,
and that the National Park
Service guards against any
such encroachment.

School 10 Use
Amidon Plan
Jefferson School
Gets 300 in Week
Con Take 10000
BY DAVID BREASTED
Star Staff Writer

The upgraded Amidon plan
for the Districts jefferson
Junior High School has drawn
300 admission applications in a
week, Principal Elizabeth C..
Jameson said today.
Miss Jameson said parents
interest is so keen that about
so applications forms came
back the day after they were
sent out.
But, she said, there will be
only 100 to 200 places open at
the city-wide school next year. :
She predicted that the appli-
cation list for jefferson would
grow considerably longs.
The school, at Eighth and H
streets S.W., has room for only
600 pupils in all three grades.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen an
nounced last Friday that the
Amidon approach, built on
carefully organized teaching of
basic subjects, would move up
to the junior high school grades
at Jefferson. There will be
heavy emphasis on language,
major literary works, mathe-
matics and science.
The idea, DR.. Hansen said, is
to sharpen pupils thinking
capacity more than is done
now in the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades.
No More Fixed Periods
Miss Jameson said that at
Jefferson the traditional sched-
ule Of fixed periods during the
day will be done away with,
and longer or shorter periods
planned as needed, using other
blocs Of time. This, she said,
will create a much more flexible
schedule, allowing the teach
ers to cover some things much
more thoroughly each day.
About rs per cent of the
Jefferson enrolment now comes
from outside the schools dis
triet covering Southwest Wash
ington west Of Third street and
north to the Mall. Miss jamie
son said it takes some pupils
an hour to reach school. The
Schol was made city-wide when
much Of the southwest setting
was cleared by redevelopment.
DR.. Hansen, at a press con-
ference, said he is considering
setting up an evaluation sys-
tenn Of checklines to determine
to what extent the Amidon
plan is being adopted in each
elementary school in the city.
Textbooks Surveyed
DR.. Hansen also said today
the school system has been con-
Quoting for some time a survey
of textbooks to weed out OBJ
Solescent texts. Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat of Minnesota,
made a vigorous Senate floor
speech Wednesday calling for
better treatment from Congress
Of the school text and library
book situation.
DIR. Hansen said, I'VE will
have to be very aggressive in
asking for funds, while at the
same time careful to get maxi
mum use out Of books"
Because Of lack Of funds,
District schools can spend only
Sc cents per pupil for junior
high school books, and 78 cents
for senior high school students.
A suggested national standard
is between 50 and So, and
school officials hope to raise
the Districts meager allowance
about 81.
