Metropolitan Growth Pace Continues Brisk Predict 8 Million Population by 1980 Since 1960, the same number of employed persons in the Chicago metropolitan area have been earning more income, supporting an increasing population, and spreading out to occupy an increasing number of new homes, the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning Commission reported Wednesday to several hun- dred local officials and citizens al. the annual Metropolitan Area Planning Conference. The report on employment a ad population growth was pait of a review of "Five Years of Metropolitan Planning" presented by Paul Oppermann, executiV9 director, and the Metropolitan Planning Commission staff, at the all-day conference in Chicago's Morrison Hotel. W. Raymond Mills, research officer of the commission, said that population increased in the six-county area by 75,000 persons per year between 1960 and 1963 even though the number of jobs in the area stayed at 1956 'levels.

The 75,000 per year population increase is not much smaller than the 100,000 new persons added yearly in the 1950s, Mills noted. Meanwhile, Mills said, new housing has increased by 50,000 units per year between 1960 and 1963 "faster than one might expect on the basis of population growth," Mills attrib- uted half of this housing Increase to the needs of population growth and the other half to "Income "As families get more income they demand more housing am better housing on larger Mills explained. THE PLANNING commission survey showed that population growth slowed in the 1960s in DuPage, Kane, Lake and Me Henry counties, and in all three sectors of Cook County north west, and south.

2ff-5571 Population loss in Chicago has been less in the 1960's, it was reported. The rate of loss for 1960-63 was about 5,000 per year, as against 7,000 per year for 1960-1959. In a review of what it has learned about metropolitan needs and problems in five years of research, the planning commission staff made these further points: 1). The commission is still anticipating a 1980 population of eight million people in the six- county area. This would be a gain of almost two milion over the 160 population.

2) If the new development continues to be placed in large suburban residential lots, as it has since 1945, then the built- up parts of the metropolitan area will need to increase by more than 50 per cent to accommodate the new people of the 1960s and 1970s. Robert Ducharme, assistant director for planning, said it would take 630 square miles of new large-lot development to provide for the two million people expected. This would be considerably more than all the agricultural land now remaining in 'the three most populous Northeastern Illinois counties Cook, DuPage, and Lake Ducharme point out. 3) To provide facilities for the new growth, planning commission staff members pointed to space needs for recreation and green space, for flood pathways along northeastern Illinois streams, for refuse disposal, and for other public needs. John R.

Sheaffer, resourc plannii officer, said close-to- the sii -face underground water could yield a half- billion gallons of water a day-if plain can be mtide and carried i to keep those sources free ol contamination from polluted refuse disposal sites, nd other threats to water purity. At the low price of 20 cents jer 1,000 gallons, water from I lese shallow aquifers "is a met -opolitan asset worth $100,00) a day, or per year." Sheaffer estimated. 4) iv ot planning to keep con- gestiot out of the flood pathways las already cost money and cost a good deal more, it was reported. Shaeffer cited the case of one ISO-house sub- divisio i in Lake County where flood ontrol costs are expected to reai $3,400 per house. Using this fi nire, Duchaime estimated that if one-tenth of the new dwellings erected in the next 20 years the metropolitan a a were located in Hood plains, flood protection for them could cost taxpayers $180,000,000.

Tffl SOLUTION to these and other development problems, Opper, nann said, is careful planni ig by local governments based on a metropolitan planning 'framework" now being prepai 3d by the planning com- missio i. Information already develo ed on land needs for future i rowth, recreation space, flood areas, and refuse dispas il sites are elements in this i I a which Oppermann descri as a "format for work to be done." studies to be done in the next ear will contribute facts on future land needs for bous- ini and industrial and commercial and will estimate future expenditures by local governments for public improvements. With this data hand, Oppermann said, the commission will move from the first, research phase of its operation to the second phase plan preparation. Next year, Oppermann said, the commission will formulate a series of policies on future metropolitan development, for discussion with local governments. This will begin a cooperative planning procedure out of which choices will be made which meet physical development needs and at the same time satisfy public objectives expressed through the local governments.

Oppermann stressed that the choices will be made by the governments of the area, not by the planning agency. In statements on the natmre of the comprehensive plan for the metropolitan area, Ducharme pointed to two possible development patterns- one In which fntnre growth would spread out "in all directions," as In recent years, and another IB which development is encouraged to follow "corridors" along a trcnsporUtlon routes. The present "sprawl will almost certainly result in a further decline in mass transit and a growing reliance on the automobile, Ducharme said. He added, that one task of the commission will be to estimate the future transportation cost of this kind of development. (A14 Human Relations Beat Marshall Plan for Negroes Is Urged by Urban League (This Is another In a aeries of spe ial on human relations problems in metropolitan Chica, .0 prepared lor Paddock Publications by Sherwood ROM of the Chicago Urban League.) by SHERWOOD 11 OSS The National Urban League has cal ed for a Plan" for Negroes.

Whitney M. Young national scutive director, says it's needed to make up for 300 years of depr vation and dependency. "Equal opportunities for Negroes not enough," he said on a visit here recently. "You have to lean over backwards. The back wheels of a car will never catch up with the front ones if they're running at the a speed." Young called for federally-directed job training programs and beefed-up, speeded-up slum clearance programs.

Other priority items on his agenda included better schools and teachers, "busting up" the black ghettoes in our cities and an infusion of Negroes into top-level decision- making boards a political bodies. "THE NATION itself is in jeopardy," he declared, "as long as it has within its body politic a large group of citizens who are socially and economically handicapped, often dependent, poorly educated and unable to assume the normal responsibilities of citizenship." Young's view has endorsed by many thoughtful citl- James C. 'Worthy, presi- fdent of Chicago Churchmen and ja director of the Chicago Urban League board, said: "We are allowing great reservoirs of human resources to wither at a time when we need every ounce of brains and ability we can muster to stand strong in this troubled world. He underscored 1he fact that 'the depressed economic state of the minorities deprives us of vast purchasing power that would bolster our economy. A Marshall Flan could, say within 10 years, bring millions of disadvantaged Negroes up to educational and vocational standards required by society.

PRESIDENT Kennedy, who las not yet indicated he'd back very veil why it is necessary. In his eloquent address to the nation last June on civil rights, he nclxl: --A Negro baby born In tea today has only about one half ai much chance to comp ete high school as white baby. --T le Negro baby's Me expect;) icy is seven years shorter. --H 3 has one-third as much chaoc of completing college. --II has only one-seventh as ii uch chance of earning a year and the dismal proBp of earning half at much in his lifetime.

A arshall Plan would help Negro help themselves. With improved education and job sk Us, the proportion of Negroes eceiving public aid would declin spectacularly. Today, one out of every four Negroes In Chicago still receives some kind of public assistance. THIS BILL, Added up nationally, runs into the It has been estimated that Chicago loses half a billion a year because of discrimination in employment and the National Urban League says employment bias is spilling $26 billion a year down the rathole. Americans are big-hearted and big-spending people.

Our concern for the poor and underprivileged has caused the lavishing of billions on foreign aid since the end of World War Two. Can't we do as much for our fellow citizens here? Our Negroes, our Mexican Americana, our migrant workers, our Puerto Rican immigrants, our Indians--these are all groups desperately in need of help to help themselves. THOSE WHO ask "Why should the government do it?" ought to recognise we've done as much, if not more, for bums like Tito, Salasar, Batista, Rhee and others who didn't believe in democracy. Cant we do it for people who do? And of course, I'll be the first to say "government shouldn't interfere" if private industry will. (AM Steinmetz To Dance Alumni Nov.
