talilut Vice President, Government
Helntlon* Division of the National
Association ol Manufacturers
'NO COMMENT” Is a report ol
incidents on the national seen*
j and does not necessarily reflect
NAM policy or position.
Washington One’s imagina
tion is baffled by the far-reach
ing economic and political possi
bilities that could result from
the proposed creation of a new
government department in Wash
-1 ington to' deal with the prob
j lems of people living in cities
I and their suburbs.
Opponents of such a program
—which is strongly advocated by
President-Elect Kennedy con
tend that the problems are local
ones and, in the interest of ef
ficiency and economy, should be
kept as far away from Wash
ington as possible.
The massive scope of activity
that would be available to federal
| bureaucrats is indicated by the
I estimate that two-thirds of the
I American people now live in
| urban areas and that 80 percent
! will be urbanized during the
I next 20 to 25 years.
Among the vital questions
raised by the proposal for a
department of urban affairs are
these:
1. Why should the federal gov
ernment, which is $290 billion in
debt, render financial assistance
to cities for local projects when
most of the cities are better off
financially than the federal gov
ernment?
2. Why should not local prob
lems be handled by local offi
cials, who are in a much better
position to deal with them un
derstandably and economically
than bureaucrats in Washing
ton?
3. Would not there be a seri
ous temptation for federal of
ficials to join with local officials
in arranging for heavy (and un
necessary) spending in munici
palities in an effort to influence
votes which could determine the
outcome of elections? It is con
tended that such activity could
be decisive in close elections.
The proposal is looked upon
by its opponents as being chief

President-Elect Kennedy al
ready has announced that he
would ask Congress to create a!
department of urban affairs tot
direct federal aid in dealing with
metropolitan problems. Legisla
tion is being drafted by his aides
for introduction after Congress
reconvenes on January 3.
Mr. Kennedy advocates “a 10-
year federal-local action pro
gram to eradicate slums and,
blight and help solve the prob
lems of explosive metropolitan
| growth.” Among other things
he favors federal aid for:
! 1. An expanded urban renew -
| al program for “conserving and
’ restoring older areas as well as
in clearing and rebuilding areas
that are beyond conserving.”
2. Housing construction, in
cluding a substantial public
housing program for low and
middle-income families. Mr. Ken
nedy thinks the nation should
be building “half again as many
homes every year as are being

i Opponents point out that these
local activities could be only the
beginning of a vast and costly
program that could mushroom
rapidly ia many directions.
With a “foot in the door” the
future possibilities would be vir
tually limitless.
The general expectation is
that the new department, if ap
proved, would be built around
the present housing and home j
finance agency—with additional
functions transferred from other
yovernment departments and
ayencies. •
This general idea was before
the 1960 session of Congress. |
The Senate Banking Committee |
approved a bill, introduced by)
1 Senator Clark (D.-‘Pa.), to es
tablish a department of hous
ing and metropolitan affairs.
But there was no further action.
The story in the 1961 session
of Congress could be very dif
ferent—with a man in the White
House actively urging approval, i
Happy the man who has
trampled underfoot his fears and
can laugh at the approach of all
subduing death. —Virgil.
