ReqionaI PLANNING
Fight Near Climax
Showdown Due
Next Thursday
On Control Role
BY LEE FLOR
Star staff Writer

The fight over which organ
izations will control regional
planning is headed for a show
down next Thursday.
The Metropolitan Washing
ton Council of Governments,
at its semi-annual conference,
will be asked to pass a resolu-
ton indorsing a move for it to
take over regional planning.
The resolution is the sole item
on the agenda of the meeting,
scheduled for next Thursday
night at the Prince George
Motor Hotel.
If the conference passes the
resolution, the organization in
effect will be on record as op-
posing moves to strengthen the
National Capital Regional Plan
ming Council.
Disputed for Months
The meeting will be the focal
point Of a behind closed-doors"
dispute that has been going
on for months over the future
roles of the planning council
and the Council Of Govern
ments. The dispute was a ma
jor reason for the withdrawal
of Montgomery County from
the Council of Governments.
The Maryland-N National Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Northern Vir-
ginia Regional Planning and
Economic Development Com
mission are involved. Both
have indorsed moves to
strengthen the planning coun-
Gil.
Members Of both the Mary
land and Virginia planning
groups feel their authority is
threatened by the council Of
governments move to take
over regional planning.
Because the planning council
is represented by both elected
officials and spokesmen for the
planning commissions in each
State. staff m e m bers have
argued that it is truly repre-
sentative of the region.
Federal Agency
But officials of the Council
of Governments point out that
the regional council is a Fed
eral agency, organized by Con-
gress, and is not representative
of the local governments.
The regional council receives
its appropriations from the In
terror Appropriations commit
tees of Congress, and is not
eligible for Federal two-thirds
matching funds for planning
from the Housing and Home
Finance Agency.
The Council Of Governments
is composed of the elected Of
ficials Of every city and county,
including the District. in the
2000-square mile Washington
area. Representatives Of Con-
gress and the Maryland and
Virginia legislatures also are
members.
The regional council has
proposed new legislation
amending its basic law to quail
ify it for Federal aid. The
Council Of Government appar-
emily will oppose this, If its pro-
posed resolution is passed at
the semi-annual conference.

The South Carolina Demo-
crat earlier this month de-
manded to know where the
classrooms were and how many
pupils Ll.ey could accommodate.
Mr.. Mcmillan wanted to
know Of any plans for the
use If these clasSrooms for
school purposes, if necessary by
transporting students thereto.
If not, why not?
1T is understood that many
cities transport students in
order to place them in desig-
mated schools. Why is this not
feasible or practicable for
Washington"
Flat Rejection
DR.. Hansen. citing four pre-
vious reflections of this plan by
the Board OF Education. replied
in a study that there is not
"a single justification for the
transportation of large num-
bers of pupils as a relief for
overcrowding."
Thirty-two of the vacant
classrooms are in far North
west Washington, DR.. Hansen
pointed out, while overcrowd-
ing is in the Northeast, South
east, and midtown Northwest
portions of the city.
The other "a classrooms will
be filled in September, DR..
Hansen said.
Pointing out the distance
youngsters would have to
travel, and the "unpredictable"
ultimate cost, DR.. Hansen said,
THE need is for construction
of school buildings where the
children are. There is no sub
stitute for the community
school.
Moreover, there is no econ
omy in supplying school buses
for transportation to empty
classrooms."
School figures last fall
showed elementary schools
with a capacity of 78,710
housed 85,84O children. Junior
high schools. designed for 2l,-
908, housed 28,491.
Chairman Mcmillan also

sible reconversion for teach

ministration.

The act would require equal

the attorney general as valid.
Half of the number must be

I'VE are near the halfway
mark now and hope to go well

"I'll be very much surprised if
