The District Highway De-
partment has the most enlight-
ened approach of any State
highway department in the
United States for designing
more attractive freeways with
in the cities. William E. Finley
said yesterday.
THE District has had the
most creative response to the
problem of urban design, a
problem which more traffic
engineers are going to have to
consider as time goes BY" he
said. Mr.. Finley, who is leav-
ing as director of the National
Capital Planning Commission
for a post with a Baltimore
mortgage and development
firm, spoke to the Washington
Section of the Institute Of
Traffic Engineers at the
YWCA.
The District highway engi-
neers have worked out a sys-
tenn of cooperation with city
planners, and have hired out
side architectural consultants
to develop highways that are
in keeping with the beauty OF
the National Capital, Mr.. Fin
ley said.
Hal Aitken District high
way director deserves a great
amount of credit for this" he
said.

Reflections on Leaving the
Nations Capital" and included
a few jovial comments on the

friendly rival" the National
Capital Transportation Agency.
Mr.. Finley referred to the
"Darwinian theory of transpor-
tation," which he summed up
as being: if you delay high
ways long enough, you really
need transit"
The Darwin in the Darwinian
was a reference to c. Darwin
Stolzenbach, chief of the
Meta.
Mr.. Finley said people also
were saying that the initials
Meta stand for Never collate
the appendices"
This was in reference to the
growing number Of requests by
agencies for several appendices
which the Meta said would be
published soon after its No
vember l report to President
Kennedy on financing and or
ganization for transportation.
Agencies have been told that
the Meta had all of the mate
rial ready for the appendices
by october /, but has never
been able to write the material
in what it felt was acceptable
form, officials said.
Mr.. Finley also praised rec

Committee on Washington
Metropolitan Problems. The
Bible Committee in 1859 rec
commended a regional develop
ment agency and made several
other recommendations that
have been gathering dust for
the last three years.
The recommendations should
be busted off and studied
they were years ahead of their
time" he said.
To the group Of engineers,
many of whom had spent their
professional careers in the
traffic forecasting field, Mr.
Finley said: mo matter what
anybody says here. the future
transportation system will re-
suit from decisions made in the
halls of Congress on non-tech-
meal basis resulting from the
emotional reactions of Con-
gressmen.
Mr.. Finley also commented
on the possibility for strength
ening the planning and gov
ernmental process for the Ma
tional Capital region.
One problem with strength
ening a regional planning
agency is that it would be like
sending an ambassador to q
country that doesn't exist, Mr.
Finley said. I'VE need a better
metropolitan organization, ano
would be much better off with
some centralized type of gov
ernment," Mr.. Finley added.

SOLDIER KILLED
NEAR ELKTON

A 24-year-old Fort Belvoir
soldier, en- route to his home
in Paoli, Pa, to attend his
sisters wedding, was killed
yesterday when his car crashed
into a bridge abutment near
Elkton, Md.
He was Pvt. William C. Hud-
son, an instructor at the Army
Engineer School at Fort Belvoir
and a 1860 graduate of Harvard
University.
State police said the soldier
was thrown from his small
foreign car when it struck the
abutment after he apparently
fell asleep at the wheel while
headed north on U. S. Route 40.
He was pronounced dead on
arrival at Union Hospital,
Elkton. He had suffered a
fractured skull and broken leg.
Police said the soldier might
have escaped death or serious
injury had he fastened a seat
belt in the car.
He was the son of the presi-
dent of the Lea & Febiger Co.
of Paoli, according to the
Associated Press.

She was one of four persons
chosen by the Democratic Gen.

But she said she enjoyed
campaigning for the general
election. In that she was helped
greatly by her daughters, Char

reported.
Alexandria has seven public
housing developments, five for
Negros and two for white fam
ilites. The Negro developments
have a total of 485 units and
the two white projects have
462 units.
Area Builders Wait
Meanwhile, many Maryland
and Virginia builders we're TAX
ing a wait-and-see approach to
the anti-discrimination order
for the FILA and VA new con-
struction loans.
A number of the builders said
they needed Qualification on the
order before making any COM
ment on its impact.
The major goal Of the White
House directive is to open new
ly built suburban developments
and city apartments to Negro
families.
One leading builder, who
asked that he not be identified,
said the order was a halfway
measure that probably will
cause a major financing shift
to a higher percentage of con-
ventional loans.
Last year, construction was
started on l,275,500 new homes.
OF these, 10 per cent were fl
nanced with FILA loans, 7 per
cent VA and the balance with
conventional loans or all cash.

injuries and was released after

Trooper w. D. Weaver said

Raining Heavily
The police said it was raining
heavily at the time of the
crash, shortly after 8 pm, just
as it was during a four-car
pileup several hours earlier on
the Washington-B altim or e
parkway south of the Friend

That accident occurred in
the northbound lane of the
expressway as many travellers
headed home for the Thanks

Mrs. Koonce is wondering
where her desk will be assigned
in the lower chamber, expanded
by the reapportionment bill.

star staff Writer

Buyers have been chosen for
three new office building sites
in the Southwest Washington
urban renewal area, with prices
set by public bidding for the
first time in the history Of the
redevelopment.
Previously, there was no pub
lie bidding on a price basis.
Land was sold or leased at
negotiated" prices, or awarded
to winners of architectural
competitions at prices previous
ly fixed by RIA.
The new system Of inviting
public bids was instituted after
Phil A. Doyle, RIA executive
director, assumed his post a
year ago. Mr.. Doyle has advo-
Gated a public bidding system
coupled with architectural con-
troll.
The three tracts, totaling
over one-and-a-half acres are
to be sold to the American

Otis Elevator Co. and the East
man Kodak Co., for a total of
$581,OOO.
Prices will range from $3.50
to $40 a square foot.
Hearings Set
Deciding yesterday to accept
the three proposals, the agency
scheduled public hearings On
all three for 1915 am. De-
cember 6.
Final transfer of the land
will be subject to the hearings
and will be conditioned on
acceptance of designs for the
buildings by an RIA panel of
four architects to be set up
later.
Mr.. Doyle explained that the
proposed sales are not tied di-
rectly to a solicitation of bids
made last June. But prices be-
ing charged are as high as or
higher than bids received then,
he said. When last June's bids
came in, several sites received
no offers at all, he said.
| Bids on two tracts adjacent
to those whose sale is now
proposed will be sought through
newspaper advertising later
Mr.. Doyle explained.
The total of five tracts are il
an area bounded by Sixth
Fourth, School and D streets
and by Virginia avenue S.W.
$40 a Square Foot
The American Road Builders
Association is to receive $4,000
square feet at $40 a square foot
for a headquarters building.
This site at the southeast cor
ner of Sixth and School streets
S.W., was previously commit
ted" to the association and only
the price was subject to pub
lie bidding. RIA explained.
The Eastman Kodak Co. site
for a sales and processing build
ing contains $4,000 square feet
to be sold for SO a square foot.
1t is bounded by Fourth and
School streets, Virginia avenue,
and by the Otis Elevator Co.
site on the eastern boundary.
The Otis site has $4,000
square feet to be sold for $3.50
a square foot. 1t extends be-
tween Virginia avenue and
School street.
A fourth site having 10000
square feet, which will be sold
later, is just east of the Otis
site. The fifth, having $4,000
square feet and located at the
northeast corner of Sixth and
D streets, also will be offered to
the highest bidder at a later
date.

The
Rambler
Joins in
General Thanksgiving
By GEORGE KENNEDY
Happy Thanksgiving.

As the President said in his
press conference, There is
much for which we can be
grateful as we look back to
where we stood only four
weeks ago."
The Rambler was at the
press conference. Later at
the dinner of Les Amis d'Epi-
cure at the Shoreham, he
tried to tell his friends about
it, but they had all seen it on
TV.
As this is written at home
the aroma of charred toast
for the turkey dressings
coming out of the kitchen
accompanied by the faint
popping of fresh cranberries
brought to a boil. The spices
that are pertaining the air
are in the mincement and
their scent is undeniably
elevated by brandy.
The ancient Greeks were
mistaken in their idea -
which still prevails-that all
things are divided into the
material and spiritual. The
material and spiritual are
embodied together and the
spirit scars at such stimu-
liant.
This is a good land and a
good life. One wonders were
people aware that it almost
came to an end in the weeks
that closed with that golden
Sunday of October 28-you
will remember that the
weather was wonderful
when Khrushchev capitu-
lated.
Exchanges of confidence
with friends and acquaint-
ances indicate that the peo-
pie were aware. Their calm
ness was not due to ignor-
ance. 1t was something like
death. There's nothing you
can do about it. Why dwell
on it? And there is one thing
you don't do. You don't
panic.
This is a day for feasting.
TIE DINNER at the
Shoreham was sponsored by
the Epicurean Club, the club
of the chef. A critique is
asked for after each course.
Pietro OrSino of Avignon
Freres had the temerity af-
ter the first course to rise
and suggest that the iu-
lienne (Shoestrings) of eel
cry in the consomme was cut
a little too long.
Abas! with such captious
criticism. The diner etait
parfait.
This was the dinner for
men, prepared by men. The
chefs have a European idea
that women not only don't
know how to cook - they
don't know how to eat.
An item which evoked
widespread praise was the
praised celery served with
the roast.
Here is the recipe:
Take heads of celery--the
entire plant above the
ground, not single stalks.
Peel off the outside stalks
and throw them away. Cut
in lengths to go well on the
plate-about six inches. Boil
lightly about a half hour in
chicken broth seasoned with
chopped onions, pepper corns
and whole cloves.
Remove the celery from
the broth and allow it to
cool. Slice literally in two so
it will lie flat on the plate.

Leonard S. Brown, who iden-

ties, he noted.
In another resolution, he said
