Changing Of one-way streets
downtown and more reserved
street space for buses we're rec
commended to q House District
subcommittee yesterday.
Consultant Burton H. Sexton
said preliminary studies showed
that H and I streets should be
one-way with parking banned.
But Seventeenth and Fifteenth
streets, now open to one-way
traffic only, were too wide and
attracted too few cars for this
designation, Mr.. Sexton said.
He recommended the use OF
median strips on Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. for buses. Barney
Circle at Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue Sc
could be redesigned, he said, to
speed the flow of buses from
the center of the circle.

DC. Officials
Outline Vast
Works Plan

A new health center and pol
ice headquarters building are
among major proposals in q
new 1911 million six-year pub
lie works program outlined
yesterday by District Depart
ment heads.
A public hearing on the
overall plan will be held Janu-
airy II.
DR.. Murray Grant. District
health director. requested $50
million for a combination pub
lie health, mental illness and
mental retardation center to be
called Northwest Community
Health Center"
The site suggested is Mis-
souri, and Georgia avenues
NV, with construction tenta-
lively set for 1865.
The center would provide
general public health clinics; a
mental health clinic with out
patient, home care and day
care facilities; and a retarda-
ton center providing day care,
vocational and rehabilitation
facilities.
One Of the principal features
of the proposal submitted to
the District Commissioners is
the outpatient mental care
that would be offered to per-
sons now in st. Elizabeths Hos
pital.
DR.. Grant said that if ap-
proved, the health center
would be the first project in
the District to take advantage
Of legislation offering Federal
aid in community mental
health and retardation pro-
jectS.
He estimated the District
could be eligible for about 50
million in Federal funds under
the bills passed during the
Kennedy administration.
The public health center
would replace the Northwest
Health Center at Thirteenth
and Upshur streets NV.

Special 10 The star

NEW DELHI.-In the first
stunned moment after China's s
abrupt cease-fire in the bloody
Himalayan war last November,
q widespread public reaction
here was, Thank God we won't
be bombed"
Only nine days before, Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had
grimly warned that midas
cities might have to face aerial
attack. The specter Of possible
bombardment has hovered ever
since.
Fear Of BOmbardment
Hence the wave of relief that
swept this country after re-
cent news that the Unite d
States and Britain we're study
ing a plan to provide India
with an air defense in case of
renewed Chinese attack.
Indians have good reason to
fear Chinese bombardment.

ent has only four airfields
which can accommodate jets.
Publication Of the air defense
proposal arrived at a critical
moment here. The temperature
of public morale, at white heat
during the fighting, was cool
ing amidst talk of negotiations
with the Chinese and what
seemed an unwillingness by the
West to make any long-term
military commitment.
Satisfies All But Reds
The proposal could satisfy
everybody but the Communist
Chinese. 1t would create a
counter balance against a re-
ported Chinese air might of
5000 combat aircraft, and thus
strengthen India's hand in its
border dispute with China but
not in its older wrangle over
Kashmir with Pakistan. 1t
would thwart Russian efforts
to bring India closer to the
Communist camp but, through
the involvement of the Com
.monwealth countries, prevent a
Soviet accusation that India
had openly become a cold war
ally of the United States.
1t would free India's own
limited air force to wage close
support operations on the
fighting front without having
to worry about longer flights
TO defend India's cities, rail de-
pots and industrial targets.

To many Indians things

Delhi's acceptance of the Co

make Peking more unreason-

confusion over whether Mr..
Nehru was making concessions
to the Chinese or was really

President Kennedy for early
approval of the scheme was

United s states military ex-
perts find 1t far more practi-

While Washington has yet to
take a decision on the plan,
observers here feel it would be
the most sensible deterrent to
discourage China from at

further armed attacks.
If Washington accepts the
proposals and the Common
wealth countries follow suit,
the warmth that Indians felt
for the West at the height of
