Cities

A Preference for
Private Enterprise
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS

2 ny NO0ENA - LEWIS
CIxTEEN YEARS AGO
~ yesterday, an editorial in
The Star hailed the appoint
nnent Of the first board Of
directors Of the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency.
"The way is opened at last
for o concrete start on the
long-delayed task Of Kidding
the Nations Capital Of no
toriousiy disgraceful slum
conditions" the editorial
said.
The five directors were
George "A. Garrett, an invest
ment banker; Richard r.
Atkinson, an attorney; Ed
ward A. Dent, and the late
Mark Lansburgh and James
E. Colliflower.
OF the five, Mr.. Atkinson
is still a valued member Of
the present RIA board.
The Star noted at that
time:
None Of the five has been
identified with either the
public housing versus pri-
vate housing debate which
marked consideration of the
legislation at the Capitol
and which nearly blocked
final agreement on the pro-
gram at the previous session
lof Congress"
The editorial also pointed
out:
"The areas to be improved
will be selected by the plan
ners and submitted to the
Commissioners for approval.
The Commissioners then win
hold q hearing, on the basis
, of which the final action
will be taken by the District
Building.
I "Once the particular prof.
ect has received the green
light, In this way, the Re-
development Land Agency
will proceed to carry out the
enterprise under a procedure
which, by Congressional
edict, gives private enter
I prise an edge over public
housing in winning a con-
tract for a job"
I Thus, from the beginning,
1t was understood that pri-
vate enterprise was to have
a preferential role.
IN THE YEARS since
then, RIA has undertaken
a number of projects de-
signed to refashion the city.
: Its most serious challenge
came in the famous Berman
VS.. Parker case in 1854, when
RLA's right totuse the power
of eminent domain, in a par
ticular instance, was OPP
posed in court.
/ In upholding RIA in this
instance, Justice Douglas
noted, in the Supreme Court
decision, that the District
Redevelopment Act provided
that preference is to be
/ given to private enterprise
over public agencies In exc
cutting the redevelopment
plan."
Z A provision Of the Act now
on the books requires that
public agencies shall pay
more to RIA for redevelop-
ment rights than private in
dividuals, and adds:
Z "It is the intent Of this
provision that private enter
prise, as represented through
a responsible private lessee
or purchaser, shall be given
a preference over any public
development company in
such lease or sale, provided
such preference can be given,
in the judgment Of the
agency, consistently with the
protection of the public in
terest, and consistently with
a purpose TO resort to a
public redevelopment COM
many only In the event that
private enterprise shall not
reasonably be available for
the development OF the pro-
tect area, or part thereof,
under consideration"

To Two Speakers

FREDERICKSBURG, Va.
Feb. 9 (AP) The University Of
Virginia's Board Of Visitors
backed up the position Of the
university administration In
authorizing the use Of univer-
sity facilities for the appearance
Of two controversial speakers.
The board. which met today
on the campus Of Mary WASH
ington College, also censured
the John Randolph Society,
the student group which invited
the speakers.
One of the speakers, Gus
Hall. general secretary OF the
American Communist Party,
spoke at the Charlottesville
campus Friday night.
The other. George Lincoln
Rockwell, head Of the Ameri-
can Nazi Party, is due TO speak
on the campus next Thursday.

change: Shirley highway to
Route 236; Route 236 to Inter-
state Route So; and Interstate
Route 66 to Route 1913.
The Virginia portion Of the
beltway, which circles the
Washington area, has been
planned as a six-lane divided
highway.
The section between the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge and
the beltway's interchange at
Shirley highway is being con-
structed with six lanes. The re-
naming segment in Virginia,
from Shirley highway to- the
Cabin John Bridge. is being
built with four lanes, but with
the needed rights-of-way land
for two additional lanes by
1875.
The major problems involved
in widening a highway past its
designed width center on the
interchanges. overpasses and
bridge connections.

Other States Blasted
Although the report was crit
ical of many phases Of the
highway program in Virginia
the fault-finding was mile
compared to that carried in th'
GAO highway studlrs n c-rHra
c'hor States.
MANY OF The mat rs citeC
H. this report are perhap
traceable to the feet that th'
large volume Of work was un
dertakcn without the existenc'
of a reasonably sound body o
policies and procedures Of suf
ficient administrative and EN-
gineering capabilities" the re
port said.
The GAO said Virginia Off
cials were not "in total agree
ment" with the reports find
ings. The officials said. how
ever. that the recommendation
will do much to strengthen tn
hiehway proqrem," the rAr
said.

THUS 1T SEEMS clear
that Congress intended that
private enterprise be given
preference TO undertake
work In urban-r IN ewal
areas
In RLA's current proposals
TO acquire private homes for
possible use as public -hous-
ing dwellings-on scattered
sites throughout two sep
arate city neighborhoods-
RIA has not spelled out the
procedure by which II would
guarantee that private en-
terprise be given a prefer
ence, as Is apparently called
for by law.
The question Of whether
the scattered-sites proposal
is advisable, or whether II is
consistent with the intention
OF the Redevelopment Act,
remains for decision by the
District Commissioners.
But a helpful step 10 allay
fears could be taken by RIA
II II would set forth, In de-
tail, the procedures that will
govern the disposal OF prop
erty II acquires, and the
method II will use 10 insure

General Accounting office re-
port on Virginia's Federally
aided highway program.
The report, which covers the
period from July, 1866 through
December, 1861. also said that
the Capital Beltway's inter-
change ramps with Braddock
road, at Springfield. will have
to be torn out some day and
rebuilt.
Expansion Not Allowed For
The ramps were not built
80 as to accommodate in the
most economical manner" the
planned expansion Of the in
terchange. the report, which
went to Congress, said.
"As a result, unnecessary
construction costs will be in
Cured in future construction
of the ultimate design Of the
interchange because the ramps
will have to be removed and
reconstructed" the report ex-
planned.
An expected increase in the
traffic volume will call for ex-
pansion of the interchange.
Braddock road already is one
of the more heavily Travelled
roads in Fairfax County.
/ According to the GAO, the
Federal Bureau Of Public Roads
agrees that there was an error
in the design of the inter-
change. The Federally-aided
highway spstem studied by the
GAO is being built by Virginia
under Federal Bureau Of Roads
regulations.
On the matter Of the width
of the Capital Beltway, the re-
port said that the $57 million
stretch in Virginia was de-
signed for six lanes on the
basis Of 1857 traffic forecasts
Prom traffic studies made by
virginia officials in 1860. how
ever, it appears that four Sec
tions Of the beltway, totaling
about ~ miles. should have
been planned for eight lanes.
Overlooking Seen In 1875
According to the later
studies, the report said. the es-
timated traffic volume on these
four sections will be "consid-
erably in excess Of the traffic
capacity of the six lanes" by
1875. The Federal law requires
highways in the interstate sys-
tenn to meet 1875 traffic fore
casts.

segments as: U. s. Route / in

Influx Of Criminals
Is Laid to Rulings
Trade Board Hits
Mallory Decision
AS Homperinq
BY CHARLES PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Court decisions. such as the
Mallory rule. have invited an
influx Of criminals here. the
Metropolitan Washington
Board Of Trade said yesterday.
A statement prepared by the
boards public protection COM
mittee on the Commissioners
Crime Council report said that
the council had failed to point
up the pressing need for leg
islative action to correct In.
equities In existing law.
The statement said "the law,
in essence. today is protecting
the criminal from prosecution
and detention. thus depriving
the law-abiding citizens of his
rights to live unmolested from
the acts Of those with proven
criminal patterns Of living and
an antl-social outlook.
1T invites an influx of GRIM
inals to our city. creating and
developing a climate which in
itself tends TO breed crime of
far greater impact than the
existing socio-economic condi-
tions cited in great detail in
the council report"
Steady Rise in Offenses
The report said that there
has been a steady increase in
District crime since the NAL
lory decision and said that leg
islation should be introduced
to counteract the effect of this
court ru inc.
The Mallory decision rules out
2IlnlSSiUI o. CONT SSions In
court when there has been un-
necessary delay between arrest
and arraignment.
The board also said that the
crime council failed ITO ade-
quately emphasize that the de-
velopment of a sense of per-
sonal responsibility on the part
Of all economic levels in this
community is a most potent
factor In crime prevention"
While poverty and limited
privileges may be contributing
factors. they do not necessarily
cause crime, the board said.
HOD,c Rule Plea Discounted
Commenting on the support
for home rule given in the
Crime Councils report. the
board said: I'VE can see no
connection between home rule
and crime reduction and no
facts we're offered to support
this supposition.
I'm fact 1t should be pointed
out that many major cities Of
this Nation. both with popu-
lations greater and smaller
than the District Of Columbia,
possess the right Of self politi-
cal determination with elected
mayors and city councils and
still have crime and crime rate
Increase factors far greater
than Washington. d. C."
Commenting that the Metro.
politan Police Department
deserves more credit than 1t re-
complishments tina 1t re-
C. ives, the board suggested that
the department needs q pub
IL relations official.
Regarding the statement by
the crime council that police
men should be encouraged to
live In the District. the board
said 1t agreed that such a
policy should be encouraged.
I However. the board said 10
require policemen TO live in the
city would be entirely unre-
alistic and would result In the
! forced reduction Of employment
standards.
