The Future of
Urban Renewal
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS

A GOOD DIAGNOSIS
sometimes can forestall
a fatal illness.
This may be the case with
the District Commissioners
intention to take a close new
look at urban renewal in
Washington.
Engin eer Commissioner
Frederick ]. Clarke last week
explained it was necessary
to examine the prospects of
urban renewal now. One
reason, he said, was that
new projects would have to
face the scrutiny Of Con-
gress.
Little new work can 60
ahead unless Congress pro-
vides the funds, Brig. Gen.
Clarke said. His comment
was a reminder that this
Government = financed pro-
gram needs the support of
the people.
Up to now, about 1888
acres Of Washington have
been turned over to the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land
Agency, or are on their way
to such control.
In addition, it is proposed
that another 1882 acres
eventually be turned over to
RIA, including the 632-acre
downtown area, making al
most 5000 acres altogether
to be subjected to policies,
procedures and adminiStra-
ton governing the planning
and renewal process.
In view Of the Importance
of this program-the cost,
the effect it will have on
people, the potential it has
for improvement or harm to
the city-it is natural there
should be concern that what
is to be done will be done
properly, with protection
for the public interest, with
scheduling that will give
each project an acceptable
priority in relation to 9TH
ers, and with the fullest
possible degree Of public
consent.

IN GEN. CLARKE's COM

IN GEN. CLARKE'S COM
ments last Thursday at a
meeting of the National
Capital Planning Commits
sion, he expressed primary
concerns that can be sum-
married. in three questions:
How will future renewal
projects affect peoplep
How much will each one
cost and what priority
should each one have2
What must be done to
avoid any possibility Of
windfalls for developers, or
any scandal that would be
harmful TO the renewal
program
These are obviously ques-
lions Of great concern 10 the
Commissioners, TO Congress
and 10 the people Of Wash
ington. They are questions,
too, Of great concern TO the

ton and 10 many hundreds

the intervening two months.
This week-probably at a
meeting Tuesday-the Com
missioners will decide whether
to continue investigative ar
rests as the House District
Committee has requested or to
put the ban in effect and await
developments.
It's the uncertainty Of those
developments that creates the
dilemma.
Concern Over Bills
On the one hand, some mem
bers of the House District Com
mittee are likely to become so
irate at what they consider the
Commissioners defiance of
their request for delayed action
that some of the District Build
ing bills might get stalled in
Congress.
On the other hand, q ban on
investigative arrests might con-
Germ members enough to act
swiftly on an alternative to
assist police in coping with a
steadily rising crime rate here.
The possibility of reprisals
growing out of a chill develop
ing in relations between the
Commissioners and the House
District Committee could have
a considerable impact on the
fate of the city's legislative
program.
The Commissioners could be
expected to welcome any ac-
ceptable out If they considered

U. 5. Payment
0fS53MiIIion
Vireiniun, However
Says He Does Not
lndorse Formula
BY SAM EASTMAN

star Staff Writer

The administrators revenue
raising measures for Washing
ton have received qualified sup
port from the House District
Committees ranking Repub-
lican, Representative Broyhill
Of Virginia.
The major proposal in the
revenue package is a formula
for setting the ceiling for the
annual Federal payment to the
District.
Under this formula, the max
imum figure would be equal tc
the taxes that the Federal
Government would pay to the
city If it paid taxes. The CELL
ing would start at $50 million
for the fiscal year beginning
July /.
Alternate financing measures
have been introduced by Chair
man Mcmillan of the House
District Committee. On the
Federal payment, Mr.. McMil-
Ian. Democrat of South Caro-
lima, is proposing that the
current fixed authorization
amount be raised from $50
million to $40 million.
Formula Not Endorsed
Commenting yesterday on
the revenue question, Mr.. Broy-
hill, who more often than not
votes with Mr.. Mcmillan on
local legislation, said he ia
vors the $50 million figure
that would be authorized I'M
der the administrations for
mula bill.
Mr.. Broyhill did not indorse
the formula itself. He said:
There is no magic formula
and no magic figure for the
Federal payment"
The congressman said he be-
lieves the revenue question
boils down to this:
The residents Of the District
should be required to pay only
a tax bill that would be con-
sidered reasonable and that Is
in line with the tax burden Of
residents in the nearby COM
munities. Then 1t is up to Con.
gress to decide-and then pro-
vide - the Federal payment
needed to finance needed city
government operations.
Three Tax Increases
Six Democratic members o
the House District COMMITTEES
last week introduced the adj
ministration's financing bills
In addition to the Federal pay.
ment legislation, the revenue
package--drafted by city Off
Gals and Endorsed by the White
House--would provide:
/. A new formula to deter
mine the amount the District
may borrow for construction
projects. This ceiling would be
equal to 6 per cent Of the CON-
bined assessed value of real
and personal property in the
city.
2. Three tax increases. The
cigarette tax would go from
two cents to three cents a pack
the sales tax would be ex-
tended to gross receipts or
cigarettes and local telephone
service. and the personal in.
come levy would be increased
by lowering the taxable brack-
cts from $1,000 to $4,000.

he is not convinced Of the need
for a new round of tax hikes

The social workers associa-
ton called for a change in this
rule, stating that the presence
or absence Of q man should
not be the basis for considera-
ton, but rather the family's
ability to meet the children's
needs.
Mr.. Duncan also released
the first Of a series of press
releases planned on the public
welfare program in the Dis
trict. The press release covers
various steps already taken to
improve the department.
Among them are complete
reorganization of the depart
ment, which the Management

controller are working on. In

formula for bringing up a generation

To this it is vital to add that the
whole business of i-Communism is
only the prime extremism program
which keeps the liberal leaders on a
helpless plane of Self-defense, while
making certain that they are silenced
on supporting much more realistic i'm
mediate goals. Burning books or ban
ming printed opinion is one thing, and
it is sure to bring darkness to the
minds of formative youth, but there
are other means of doing this which
are far more effective under modern
conditions. Today'S youth do not read
SO much in comparison with what they
see and hear. In this field, so absolute
ly vital to present day conditions, the
great fear which the Right uses as
mental and spiritual terror to black
mail the great liberal leaders into pro-
tctive silence, leaves the overall, long
range view very dark indeed!
The Future is ITO Today's youth. This
business of complacency proves one of
two things-either one must be abys-

social forces, or one is Obliged for some
reason to justify self-defense Harry

Editor, Peoples Voice:
Several weeks ago the Peoples Voice

Ranging from ST to $40

Mrs. LaVerne Taylor, Missoula, must
have been terribly disappointed when
she inspected the books of Young
Americans for Freedom, conservative
student group at MSU, according to
Jim Dullenty. state chairman of YAF.
What did Mrs. Taylor expect to

Gratis have not rushed to open their
books to the public.
Perhaps" Dullenty said, fits just
as well. 1t could be embarrassing"
Dullenty said that the YAF books
are open to public inspection at any
time. He said YAF has always admitted
taking in a considerable amount in
contributions. This is credit to the
hard work and initiative of the or
ganization, he said.
mo company and no other organiza-
tion has ever contributed to Montana
YAF. Most contributions come in 81, SIS
and $40 amounts from individuals
around the state" he said.
YAF maintains separate account at
a local bank. The account was origin
ally opened to facilitate obtaining mon
ey on short notice, since it required
about two days to obtain money from
the University account.
Last summer, the University changed
their bookkeeping system and it is
now possible to obtain money almost
imm ediate1y. The bank account has
since been used as a separate account
for the state YAF organization.
The checking account record at the
ocal bank consists only of monthly
