Anocostio Groups Hit
Plea for Peace Corps,

The presidents of four South.
east Washington citizens as
sociations have denounced tes-
timony given before a Senate
subcommittee favoring a do
nestle Peace Corps for the
AnacoStia area.
In a letter to Senator Bur-

that testimony of Ralph D
Fertig of Southeast Neighbor-

Mr.. Fertig, the Neighborhood

There was talk three years
ago of having the National
Capital Housing Authority buy
all of the property. The plan
was that the buildings would
be converted to provide two
units each for the larger, low
income families.
Last month, at a meeting of
the housing authority, it was
announced that this proposal,
somewhat amended, has now
reached the advance planning
stage"
At about the same time,
members of the Districts
Board of Condemnation toured
the development. After looking
at the buildings, some boarded
up, some broken into, and
others occupied, the members
decided to take action.
A check revealed that the
landlord was the Government,
and therefore immune to NUM-
cipal orders. The board sent
a letter to local FILA officials
calling the development to
their attention.

hands Of FILA are scattered
throughout the development
The remaining units have
private owners.
This split ownership has pro-
vided a complicating factor in
efforts to cope with the
blighted area.
Each building carried two
mortgages. This means that in
some cases the Federal agency
owns the entire building, while
in others FILA has one side
and a private landlord the
other.
1t was apparent from a
check yesterday that some
families living in the develop
ment are squatters who have
broken into a boarded unit.

the urban renewal office could

houses are barricaded, they
are frequently broken into and

EorIy July Action
Slated on DC BUDGET

Congressional action on both
sides of the Districts budget
ledger-revenue and spending
is scheduled early in July.
A Senate District subcom-
mittee Tuesday is slated to take
action on revenue-raising legis-
lation for the city.
On the spending side, the
Districts appropriations bill
for the fiscal year beginning
tomorrow Is scheduled for
House floor action July IL.
At the Tuesday meeting, the
Senate subcommittee is ex-
pected to approve the formula
type revenue measures pro-
posed by President Kennedy.
Under the administrations
backed proposals, the city's
maximum annual grant from
the Government and its Dor
rowing ceiling both would be
tied to property values. Initi-
ally, the Federal payment au-
thorization would be raised
from $32 million to $50 mil
lion, and the borrowing au-
thority from SIS million to
$225 million.
The House earlier this
month approved bills, reported
out by the House District Com
mittee. to provide flat increases
to $45 million for the grant
and $3.50 million for borrowing.
In its action, the House
turned down a compromise

than flexible. levels, but to
raise the figures to the

End Sought
To Saturday
Car Checks

A recommendation that the
Districts motor vehicle inspec-
ton stations be kept open extra
hours Monday through Friday
instead of on Saturdays has
b e. en- submitted to Engineer
Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke.
The new proposal was made
by the Department of Motor
Vehicles, which is now keeping
the stations open Saturdays for
a trial period.
Not enough persons h ave
been taking their cars to the
stations on Saturdays to war;
rant continued operation on
this day, the department feels.
The agency wants to close the
stations on Saturdays after
July Is.
At present the two stations
are open from 7:30 am. to 4
pm. Tuesdays through Satur-
days. One is located at West
Virginia avenue and Mount
Olivet road NE, and the other
at Half and L streets. S.W.
Under the new plan, the sta
tons would open at 7 am. anc
close at 6 pm. Monday through
Friday for a trial period of sew
eral weeks and possibly per-
manently. a
The Saturday openings were
started in an effort to make
mandatory car inspections
more convenient for persons
who work. However, the depart
ment believes the earlier OPEN
ings and later closings would
help the public more.

ANOTHER POINT Mr..

ANOTHER POINT Mr..
Marris made quite clear is
that the present courses be-
ing pursued to justify urban
renewal are neither con-
sistent nor necessarily COM
patible."
He was especially en-
phatic in commenting on
some Of the social expert
mentation being undertaken
in the name of renewal.
ANY social reform di-
rected at the shortcomings
Of people, rather than Of
society, is handicapped by
the humiliating imputations
Of its policy" he said.
The peoples fundamental
needs "can be achieved only
when the real disadvantages
OF racial discrimination, low
wages, and high rates Of un-
employment are removed"
he added, thus framing the
problem primarily In eco
nomic terms as 1t should be
framed.
In recommending a way
out OF urban renewals
dilemmas, Mr.. Marris, un-
fortunately, deserts the
world of fact-facing. He
advocates that we build
public housing for well-to-
do and poor alike, with sub
sides available to all.
In recommending this
scheme, he comedies II is a
palliative, not a full solu-
ton. The fact he does not
face, therefore, in an other
wise perceptive report, is
that historically, as a Nation,
we prefer full solutions, not
palliatives, and that pre-
socialist palliatives are
palliatives nonetheless.

Cities

PulIiutives VS..
Full Solution
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

DAGING AT RANDOM
= through a book yester-
day, we came across this
opening paragraph written
by Sir Godfrey Vickers:
Here I sit in my rural,
geological niche, metaboliz-
ing a breakfast drawn from
three continents, and quietly
increasing the worlds sup
ply of carbon dioxide which
as DR.. Dewey explains
may be, but probably is not,
helping to thaw the Polar
ice."
Sir Godfrey was starting
to write a paper on a ques-
ton of fairly great complex
ity. Yet from his opening
paragraph you knew, at
once, that here-unless con-
summate trickery were in
volved in his prose-was a
human being of some de-
tachment who could be ex-
pected to face facts with a
sense of humor, no matter
how unpalatable they might
be.
With the stage thus set
for an appreciation of the
value of facing facts, we
turned to another section Of
the book and found a paper
written by still another
EngliShman, Peter Marris.
AS 1t turned out, Mr.. Mar
ris was an even more chal-
longing fact-facer than Sir
Godfrey.
AS against Sir Geoffrey's
somewhat abstruse title
GEOLOGY, Planning and the
American Dreamy Mr.. Mar
ris' paper was entitled merely
"a Report on Urban Renewal
in the United States"
The central question he
asked appeared to be:
Can the problems of urban
renewal be solved at all if
Americans do not reconcile
themselves to more central
lied government and more
public enterprise, which he
called 'harbingers of social
ism?"
