writing a biography Of the
late Senator Robert s. Kerr
of Oklahoma to be published
by the Fleet Publishing Corp.
Of New York, according to
an announcement yesterday
by DR.. S. George Little, pres

Miss Stephenson, who was
an editorial and research
aide to the powerful Okla

the fall of 1860, Senator Kerr

Stephenson with candid re-
ports on his dealings and
conversations with the lead

Many people, especially
those outside Oklahoma, did
not really understand Sena-
tor Kerr because he was
unique" Miss Stephenson
said. "It was hard for peo-
pie to realize that so many
remarkable traits and tai

individual"

an Oklahoman herself, was

Urban Areas
Seek Power
In Virginia

Leaders from Virginia's
urban and rural counties agreed
yesterday to seek legislation
providing a new form Of gov
eminent for the States unin-
corporated urban areas.
The executive board of the
League Of Virginia Counties,
meeting in Abingdon, voted
unanimously to recommend the
plan to the leagues 96 MEM
bers at its October convention.
The legislative proposal was
drafted by the Committee on
Annexation headed by Fairfax
Supervisor William H. Moss.
The urban counties seek tax
ing powers and protection
against annexation that now
belong only TO cities.
Commenting on lack Of sup
port for this program from the
rural counties in the past Mr..
Moss said, The rural counties
now recognize that unless they
support us the urban coun-
ties will become cities thereby
throwing the balance Of power
in Virginia TO the cities"
Two examples Of this &C.
Cured on January when the
former Princess Anne County
merged with Virginia Beach to
assume the latter name and
the former Norfolk County
merged with South Norfolk to
become the city of Chesapeake.
The leagues legislative pro-
gram will be presented to the
Virginia General Assembly in
January.

Debate Is Due
On Downtown
D. c. Plan Faces
Senate Showdown
By GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

A Senate showdown this
week on Washington's proposed
downtown rehabilitation may
force a.floor debate on national
renewal policies in urban busi-
ness districts.
Majority Leader Mansfield
of Montana has made the Dis
ltrict bill the first item of bust
ness tomorrow morning.
This legislation. considered
an unlikely vehicle for national
policy, would simply authorize
the use of urban renewal pow
ers in commercial areas OF
Washington.
Senator Miller, Republican Of
Iowa. has injected the question
Of whether profitable small
businesses will be protected
from the bulldozer.
He has been pulled both ways
by Downtown Progress, q COM
Imittee which is a major sup
porter of the bill, and by dele
cations of small businessmen,
who are fighting it.
The cause of the small BUSH
neSSmen was bulwarked last
week by. the controller generals
condemnation of a Cleveland
project very like the faction
plan" for Washington. The
Washington plan was drawn
by Downtown Progress to renew
the area between the White
House and the Capitol bounded
by Fifteen, North Capitol and
M streets and New Jersey and
Pennsylvania avenues.
The bill reported by the
Senate District Committee
would clear the way for public
and private planners to develop
this action plan" into a
District urban renewal project.
Some demolition could follow
in the northeast section of the
tentative site and selective
razing would be needed in one
shopping area.
Senate District Committee
members are expected to urge
Senator Miller to submit his
suggestions as a separate bill
to amend the National Housing
Act.

An FBI canvass of the Seat
Pleasant Md area for clues
in the disappearance Of 3-year-
old Jerry Lee Tucker enters its

The FBI planned, If neees-
sary, to check every apartment,
home and business establish
ment in an area which includes
the communities of Gregory
Estates, Cedar Heights, Car
mody Heights, Carmody Hills
and Seat Pleasant.
An FBI spokesman last night
said no more information had
been obtained Ii connection
with the unidentified woman
sought in the case. The woman.
described as a S2-to-4O-year-
old brunette about 5 feet 2
inches in height, was seen with
another child on July 3.

dwellers and tradesmen ques-
toned in the door-to-door
check were shown photographs

descriptions supplied by several
area residents.
Prince Georges County cetec-
tiveS last week obtained the
first reports involving the wor1-
an.
A Carmody Hills housewife
told police she saw her az
year-old son in the woman's
arms on July 3, the day before
Jerry disappeared. When the
housewife intercepted the wom-
an and claimed her son, the
dark-haired stranger declared:
IF I catch him out again
uncared for. I'll take him home
with me and it will be q long
time before you see him again
A reporter for the Star yes
