The Federal Government
tried unsuccessfully today to
file a last-minute protest to
D. c. Transit Systems petition
for a fare raise.
The attempt by the General
Services Administration to
intervene at the start of a
public hearing on the proposed
increase before the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission was turned down
by the commission on a tech
nicality.
The GSA said that the COM
pany's proposed elimination of
tokens would have a direct eff
feet on "a number of" Federal
agencies which regularly" pro-
vide tokens to their employees
for local transportation OH
official business.
Canvassed Agencies
Chairman Frederick j. Clarke
of the commission said that
.GSA did not show good
cause for filing its late pro-
test, as required by the COM
MISSIONS rules. The rules
specify that petitions for inter-
vention must be received at
least 10 days before the pro-
posed effective date of the new
fares.
William R. Pierce, chief
counsel for inland tTansporta-
ton of GSA, said the Govern
ment had good cause for the
late filing because 1t was can
wasting" the various agencies
in the area To learn how they
used tokens.
In its petition, CSA also said
that it was interested in the
fare case insofar as the pro-
posed increase may lessen
the use Of public transportation
and encourage greater use OF
private automob iles, with

ingness to cooperate with the
United Nations. But they SAID
he will have to observe the
nightly curfew imposed on
Elisabethville on December 80
after U. N. forces seized control
of the provincial capital.
A U. N. spokesman in New
York said Mr.. Tshombe will not
be restrained otherwise unless
he tries to incite Katangans
against the United Nations or
renews his call for a scorched
earth policy.
Mr.. Tshombe told newsmen

But he insisted at a news
conference that every move
ment by U. N. troops in a new
direction in his province must
be negotiated beforehand. The
British consulate in Elisabeth
vile said Mr.. Tshombe had
given a guarantee only for the
movement of U. N. troops to
Sakania, where the railroad
crosses the Rhodesian border
200 miles southeast of Elisa

The U. N. command still was

Renewal Plan
Would Scatter
Public Housing
Adums-Morqun
Sleeper Clause
Cited as Power
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

A sleeper clause in the Dis
trict's latest urban renewal
plan opens the way for wide
spread scattering of public
housing in individual homes
throughout entire city neigh
borhoods.
If approved by the District
Commissioners, the proposal will
permit the Redevelopment Land
Agency to condemn privately
owned dwellings and resell
them, below cost, to the Ma
tional Capital Housing Author
ity for rehabilitation as perma-
nent public housing units.
Sales to NCHA could be at a
price lower than that to private
individuals who might be in
terested in purchasing the
seized properties, the redevelop-
ment agency said.
The new policy turned up,
without previous general an
nouncement, in the latest
version of the Adams-Morgan
urban renewal plan. 1t was
not contained in a previous
draft which came before the
National Capital Planning Com
mission October Is.
Receives Approval
The largely-rewritten plar
was presented tc NCPC yester.
day and received the commits
sion's stamp of approval.
But it must run the gauntlet
of review by the District Com
miSsioners and a District-spon-
sored public hearing some time
after March 1.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke said
that before a hearing date can
be fixed the Commissioners will
want to know what the pro-
ject will cost"
He also said RIA would be
expected to submit a study de-
failing the agency's plans for
relocating business firms and
families who will be displaced.
Phil A. Doyle, executive di-
rector of RLA-the agency
which would carry out the
work in accordance with the
terms of whatever provisions
are finally approved in the flu
ture by the District Commits
sioners - yesterday informally
estimated total net cost at $23
million. OF this amount a third
would be met by the District
and two-thirds by the Federal
Government.
The 237-acre Adams Morgan
area is bounded by Sixteenth
street, Connecticut avenue,
Florida avenue, U street, CAL
vert street, Lanler place and
Columbia road NV.
Under the scheme approved
by NCPC yesterday, % per cent
of the area would be purchased
and cleared. The remainder
would be subject to upgrading.
In case property owners don't
comply with upgrading changes
specified by RIA the agency
would be authorized to institute
condemnation proceedings, pur-
chase any property and then
resell it.
Careful Consideration
Gen. Clarke said last night
he expects the proposal that
RIA be authorized to sell in
dividual properties for public
housing use will be considered
carefully at the public hearing.

There is still time to plan
those home improvements that
you couldn't quite budget last
summer.
Small projects can be done
through fall and winter, and
some homeowners have al
ready begun to turn their
laths and use their cement
mixers.
Donald Scribner of Cannon
dale, Conn.,, yearned for a
Japanese stone lantern such as
those he'd seen in summer
gardens. Those made in the
United States were as far
beyond his means as imported
lanterns. So he decided to
make one now, instead of
waiting until next summer.
MoIds Dietote Form
II cost less than 81, and his
rugged dO-it-yourself lantern
resembles an ancient lamp
more than some expensive re-
productions do. Of course, one
can make the lanterns to suit
ones own taste and available
moIds.
There are many types of
stone lanterns used by the
Japanese. You can make the
lantern for decorative pur-
poses in a garden, or it can
light a path if a candle is in
serted.
Usually the lantern is plac-
ed on a pedestal Of stone. The
top Of the lantern is shaped
like a mushroom with a knob
on it.
The formula for Mr.. Scrib-
ner's first lantern is simple.
He combined one-half bag Of
cement and 20 shovefuls Of
sand with water until the right
consistency was achieved.
Windows Formed
He cut two windows about 4
inches square in a tar can that
measured ID inches high and
about a foot in diameter. He
inserted two blocks into the
windows, so that when cement
was poured into the can, win
dowS were formed.
He poured cement into an
old small dishpan about 10
inches in diameter on the large
side. This would give him a
mushroom shape, slightly larg-
er than the cylinder when in
verted.)
He filled an 18-inch-square
wooden box about 2 inches in
depth with cement to form the
base of the pedestal. A smooth
rock was found to be placed on
top of the mushroom" but q
mobilize final could be made
