WITH THE COMING of
urban renewal, the country
was plunged into a frantic
effort to clear out still more
Sums because the people
were convinced that slums
were bad.
But people had not been
fully convinced a mammoth
public housing program was
good. So other means to
house displaced families were
provided by law-financial
aids for non-profit, limited
dividend and cooperative
schemes. The high cost of
city land for sites has so far
made these worthwhile pro-
posals largely ineffective.
Meanwhile, without people
realizing 1t, urban renewal
was turning cities, alone, into
laboratories for dealing with
poverty and social problems,
as II cities we're the only
places in which poverty oc-
Cured and as II they we're
In isolation from the rest Of
their surroundings.
1.-THE greatest achievement
OF urban renewal Is that
It aroused America to the
poverty hidden in It's midst
and began TO set In motion
a desire to do something
about IT," Housing Admins
traitor Weaver said in Balti-
more last Thursday.
That is certainly a valid
viewpoint. But II this rec
ognition does not exist out
side the cities, as well as In
side cities-and a consensus
Is not reached on what steps
TO take-the question Of
public support for urban re-
newal, itself, will be cast in
doubt.

In spite of opposition of

strong support for public

Transit Faces
New Battle on
25-Cent Fare
Foes of Present
Rate Aiming at
Scent Reduction
BY DAN GOTTLIEB
star staff Writer

Attorney Leonard N. Beb-
chick renewed his attempt
yesterday to get the. courts TO
roll back D. C. Transit Sys-
TENS 25-cent cash fare to 20
cents.
He filed q motion for sum-
mary Judgment with the United
States District Court in an
attempt to sweep away a 1861
District Public Utilities Com
mission order authorizing the
ascent fare. In addition to
cutting the fare, it would make
the company pay into a transit
rider fund all excess nickels
collected since January 10, 1861.
This would amount to an
estimated $3.4 million.
Mr.. Bebchick, in conjunction
with Attorney Leonard S. Good
man, obtained q United States
Court Of Appeals ruling that a
1860 PUG. order, which first
sanctioned the cash fare raise
to Is cents, was unjustified.
This did not succeed in rolling
back the fare, however. In jan
uary, 1861, the PUG. issued an
order denying D. c. Transit
an increase in the token fare,
but in effect giving new legal
sanction to the 25-cent cash
fare.
Court Ruling Appealed
Mr.. Bebchick asked the APP
peals Court to remove the block
Of the 1861 order, but the court
refused. saying that the 1861
case was not before it.
In his current motion, filed
on behalf of himself and an
other transit rider, Richard A.
williams, who Joined him in
the appeal Of the 1861 case,
Mr.. Bebchick claims that the
P. U. c. merely repeated" in
the 1861 case practices which
the Appeals Court found were
erroneous and unlawful" in the
1860 case.
Even If the Bebchick motion
is granted, it probably would
not go into effect until dispo-
sition of Transit's appeal of
the 1860 case, now in prepara-
ton, to the Supreme Court
Hearing Tomorrow
The Judgment called fol-
Transit to pay excess nickel'
collected from March 6, 1866
to January Is, 1861 (the effec-
tive period of the 1860 ORDER
into q transit rider fund. This
amount is estimated at about
81 million. Together with the
fund proposed yesterday trans
it riders would have, as OF
today about $4.4 million to be
used to hold off future fare
increases, make fare cuts, OF
otherwise benefit riders.
This estimate Is based on the
current level Of cash fare COL
lections as stated by the COM
pany in an exhibit furnished to
the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Commission.

sidering the company's appli-
cation for elimination Of the

DRIVEWAY DILEMMA
DRIVEWAY DILEMMA
How He Turned the Tables
BY DANIEL POOLE
StuF Real Estate Editor

George A. C. Beattie has
the most appropriate mid
die initials Of anybody in
the D. c. area.
He knows enough about
electricity. at least, to have
solved this problem:
When he used to drive
down the long driveway to
his home at 404 North Kings
highway, Alexandria, he
didn't have enough room In
which to turn his car
around. He had to back all
the way out to the street.
Now when he arrives
home, he simply drives into
his carport, steps out and
flips a switch on a walkway
lampost. The car slowly
turns around and then stops
when it's pointing toward
the street.
What Mr.. Beattie did was
to build a turntable.
It's similar to those used
by the cable cars In San
Francisco except that It
works electrically and auto
matically, instead Of by
muscle power.
Il built the turntable of
structural steel and mounted
1t in a concrete base with
a built-in drainage system"
says Mr.. Beattie, an inspec-
tor for United Air Lines. "I
first planned to have it
hand = operated, but that
seemed too simple and I de-
cided to operate it electrical
ly."
The turntable can be
stopped in any position, but
when left to run its full
cycle 1t lines itself up with
the driveway and then shuts
itself off. It also will operate
in reverse.
After he built the concrete
base and the steel tracks
onto which the car is driven,
Mr.. Beattie installed a small
motor with a direct drive to
the gear box, which moves
around the circumference.
ut takes about one min
ute for the turntable to turn
a car around" he says. "I
purpoSely made it slow for
safety. But since it shuts it
self off, you can go on in
side the house."
Mr.. Beattie considered
making the turntable fully
automatic by arranging for
the weight of the car or an
electric eye to trigger the
starter. But he decided that

communities in the Chicago
area before completing their
plans for Fox Lake. Final land
planning was done by Mott

they are completed" says

Horses will live almost as
comfortably as people in a
new community being built
around a lake in Fairfax

Known as Fox Lake, the
community will feature so

Of two acres each. This will
permit the residents to have

while I was building the
turntable. they thought I
was crazy and said 1t
wouldn't work. But now they
all want to use it. I guess
I just don't have sense en-
ougn to know when things
won't work"

might be dangerous-especi-
ally If an unsuspecting
stranger drove onto it.
After he built the turn
table, Mr.. Beattie erected a
20-foot-square carport over
it. The square shape was
necessary, of course, to al
low a car to revolve within
the carport.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-10

He scaled the carport for
his own standard size cars,
and has found since that it
won't take extra-long cars
such as Cadillacs and Lin
coins. But he's philosophical
about it: II could make the
whole thing bigger, but this
is a good excuse not to buy
a limousine"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-10

Mr.. Smith says Fox Lake
will have a community horse
show ring, a one-third-mile
hunt course, almost five
miles of bride paths and
other recreation facilities
around a six-and-a-half-
acre lake.
Fox Lake is located in the
upper Difficult Run Valley in
one of the most picturesque
rolling countrysides in the
area" says Admiral Gallery.

Builder Follows Council
Order to Improve Road

A Germantown developer has
complied with a County Council
order to renovate an ancient
county road fringing his Sharon
Woods project to provide access
to a home whose owners con-
tend it cannot be reached in any
other way.
County Attorney Robert G.
Tobin Jr. said Francis Harding
has leveled off a steep grade of
Walkers Mill Road and pro-
vided hard top surfacing that
makes it more passable than it
ever was" as the result of a
council ultimatum brought on
by the complaint of Mr.. and
Mrs. Winfree Irvine Jr, owner
of the nearby home.
The improvement extends
from an intersection of Walk
er's Mill Road with Bac Place,
a new street in Harding's SUBJ
division, to a point near the
Harding property line, accord
ing to Public Works Director
Joseph Kordella. He said no inn
provements have been made to
the old road between Bac Place
and Goshen Road, apparently
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-08-01

because plans are under way to
apply for county abandonment
of the road"
Under the present arrange
ment, Kordella said, the Irvine
property can be reached by use
of a new section of Emory
Grove Road to Bac Road and
then over to Walkers Mill
Road. The approach is slightly
longer than would be the case
If the remaining portion of
Walkers Mill Road were to be
modernized and reopened.
Kordella conceded that reno.
walton of the remainder of the
road would be an extensive,
costly project that could be
more of a detriment than ben
eft to adjacent homes. One of
them has a swimming pool and
another a patio within eight
feet of the original road line, he
noted.
Harding was ordered to reno
vate the old road as the result
of complaint by the Irvines
that his housing construction
was responsible for a dumping
of earth that made it irnpass-
able.
