mitting him to be the rede-
veloper for the L'Enfant Plaza
area.
Involved also is the South
west Washington area redevel-
opment plan adopted by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission and approved by the
District government.
Zeckendorf Plan Cited
Mr.. Zeckendorf's architect
was permitted to carry out
many of the New Workers. own
planning ideas in this design.
Included was the Tenth Street
Mall and L'Enfant Plaza, now
connected with the current con-
troversy.
The Federal project was
shown on this plan as consist
ing of two or four buildings,
rather than a single larger one.
The Tenth Street Mall will
be a 200-foot-wide eSplanade
leading to the site of Mr.. Zeck-
endorf'S proposed buildings on
L'Enfant Plaza.
The mall will start at the
present intersection of Inde-
pendence avenue and Tenth
street and sweep south to an
overlook" above the Maine
avenue waterfront. L'Enfant
Plaza will be a large square
open to the mall at a point
about half way between Inde-
pendence avenue and the "over-
look"
The Federal Governments
plan for F. o. B. No. 5 calls for
creation of paved and land
scaped open square at the In
dependence avenue entrance to
the Tenth Street Mall.
The Governments conten-
tion, backed by the Fine Arts
Commission and the National
Capital Planning Commission,
is that this square-resulting
from a 186-foot setback of the
main part Of the building-will
call attention to the malls en-
trance far more effectively
than the zeckendorf proposal
for two or four buildings.
Also, in the Governments
view, such an open space would
vastly improve the appearance
of Independence avenue and
the setting for the Smithsonian
Institution on the opposite side
of Independence avenue.
Floating Structure Planned
The Governments plan pro-
vides for a 600-foot long, 40
foot-high "see through and
walk through" area whic h
would bridge the malls 200
foot-wide entrance on the south
side of independence avenue.
This unusual visual setting
for the malls entrance would
be achieved by constructing the
main section of the six-story
building on 40-foot-high COL
umns spaced so feet apart.
The building would thus
float" above the mall en-
trance and above a paved plaza
that would lead to entrances
of the buildings four story
wings on both sides Of the
Tenth Street Mall.
Flanking the 740-foot-long
main section of the building
along independence avenue
would be two 125-foot-!ong,
two-story pavilion-type wings.
These wings would have a scale
comparable to that of the
Freer Gallery, opposite the west
end Of the site. They would be
located closer to Independence
avenue than to the main sec
tion Of the building, and would
thus create the plaza at the
malls entrance.

Star Staff Writer

William Zeckendorf, in one
of his most ambitious under
takings to date, is trying to
split big Federal building into
two smaller structures.
AS a result of his opposition
to the design of the key edifice
for booming independence ave-
nue. S.W., progress is deadlock
ed on the $34 million project
authorized by Congress.
The New York real estate
promoters contention is that
the Federal Governments plans
should be subordinated to his
own plans for an adjacent area.
The behind-the-scenes battle
involves the so-called Federal
office Building No. 5, a defense
agencies structure to be built
between Ninth and Eleventh
streets on the south side of In
dependence avenue S.W. 1t will
house more than 5000 office
workers.
Mr.. Zeckendorf is planning
to build several office buildings
of his own on urban-renewal
land he leased last November
from the Redevelopment Land
Agency. He says the Federal
building will harm his project.
Commission Likes Plan
Agencies and individuals who
have seen the still undiScloSed
design for the Federal building
have praised it. Both the Fine
Arts Commission and the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission have given it strong
Endorsement.
They consider it an improve
ment over earlier plans for the
area which Mr.. Zeckendorf's
own architect drew up. The
Zeckendorf plan called for two
or four buildings.
A month ago, Mr.. Zeckendcrf
told newspapers the Federal
project would be a Chinese
wall" preventing proper access
to buildings he proposes to con-
struct around the adjacent L.
Enfant Plaza.
At the same time, he met
with Redevelopment Land
Agency and National Capital
Planning Commission officials
and threatened to take the is
sue ito Congress" if the Federal
Governments plans for FOB.
No. 5 were not changed.
Present also at the meeting
were representatives Of the
General Services Administra-
tion, which is carrying out Con-
gress' authorization to go ahead
with the building.
Entrepreneur Adamant
In an attempt to mollify the
real estate entrepreneur, it was
agreed to have the building de-
sign reviewed" by the Zecken-
dorf architect.
The procedure was described
by the Redevelopment Land
Agency as an effort to obtain
Mr.. zeckendorf's approval of
the Federal building design.
After a months review of the
plans, Mr.. Zeckendorf is still
adamant.
The exact legal status of the
Zeckendorf claim to a right to
influence the design Of a Fed
eral building is not entirely
clear, if it exists at all.
1t is said to involve some
phases of a long-secret memo
randum of understanding" en-
tered into by the RIA and Mr..
zeckendorf about seven years
ago.
Also involved are said to be
other unpublished understand
ings" or informal commit
ments" the agency has made
with the New Yorker as part
of an overall agreement per-

furnish consultation and co-opera-
tion for better planning of Civil
Defense. The problem is mainly
one of accommodation of the people
from populaed areas, which pro-
badly has been greatly emphasized
due to the recent situation with
Cuba.
Carson Ryan menti ioned the i'm
portance of Chapter officers in
enrolment and policy in getting
children in school. The chapter
cooperated to the full extent and
this has been encouraging because
the responsibility of the chapter
officers is becoming greater. Six
years olds who were registered
must now be kept in schools. There
are school construction projects
at Hunters Point, Tohatchi,
Greasewood, and Snowflake utii-
zing the funds from the fiscalyear
of 1863.
Howard Mckinley explained the
changes that were made in the
election procedures by the Navajo
Tribal Council in the recent sess-
ion. The changes were: Il } Section
3: A permanent registr alton has
been approved and people taking
legistr alton will be compensated
at so per registrati On all

(2) Section 6: The compens atoms

been increased from $500 to

the event that the same person is
nominated by each of the four pro-
vinces, and Chapter Delegated to

second candidate will take place

Senator Calls

Continued from Page u
rights by Indian citizens, there ap-
pears to be lack of constitution
al safeguards within the trib al
governments and the Indian court
systems.
Tracing the history Of the Sub
committees study of the Constitu-
tional Rights of the Americ an
Indian, Erwin noted that it was the
first congressional inquiry into
this long neglected area. For sew
eral years, the Subcommittee has
rec eived complaints that Indian
citizens are being deprived of their
basic constitutional rights by Fed
eral, state, local and tribal gov
ernments. The Senate groupis now
attempting to determine what cor
rective legi gislation is needed, he in
dicated.
Cases had been brought to the
Subcommittee's attention, he said,
in which crimes have been commit
ted on reservations and state offic-
ials have made no attempts to bring
the criminals to justice. On the
other hand, he pointed out, the Sub
committee has found that in some
states, local officers are arresting
Indians on the reservation and pro-
scouting them for crimes over
which Federal authorities have ex-
elusive jurisdiction.
Senator Erwin, speaking of the

Indians long standing devotion to
good government, said, "The sep
arate constitutions of the Iroquois
and the Cherokee, which were
based upon democr attic concepts,
are of particular interest to me.
The Iroquois constitution is doc
ument that antedated theU S. Con-
stitution by some 200 years and
provided for the right of popular
nomination, right of recall and
women suffrage. The right of wo-
men suffrage flourished in the old
America of the Red man--45O
years before it became reality

JDC Aided
Over $4,000

NEW YORK, (JTA)-The
sum of $3O,1O9,000 was spent
by the Joint Distribution
Committee in 1861 in aid to
more than 25O,OO0 Jews
men, women and children
in u countries, it was dis
closed in the annual report
of the organization presented
by Moses A. Leavitt, execu-
tive vice-chairman. For 1862
JDC adopted a budget of
S3O,685,75O to aid an esti-
mated total of 325,00O needy
Jews.
AS a result of unforeseen
emergencies, Mr.. Leavitt re-
ported, the JDC incurred a
deficit in 1861 of 1862, 900, the
first since 1850. Among the
unforeseen crisis" which led
to the deficit Mr.. Leavitt
spotlighted an upsurge OF
emigration from North Al
rica. Thousands of refugees
required emergency aid, par
ticularly in France. There
was no possibility of making
up these funds by divertlng
them from other areas" he
commented. Some programs
were cut back or eliminated;
but hundreds of thousands
not refugees-were still in
desperate need of JDC help.
