Seattle Model Cities plan proves difficult

x


WASHINGTON UP) - Model
Cities, that oft-studied, sputter-
ing experiment in renewing the
poverty-torn hearts of 150 U.S.
cities, is inching off the ground
after more than two years of
planning, torrents of words and
tons of paperwork.
"Make It Fly" reads the black
and white Model Cities lapel
button worn in Seattle, Wash.,
which became the first city in
the nation to win a federal ap-
proval of its action plan.
But one year later, few peo-
ple in Seattle or in any of the
other 149 Model Cities are sure
the idea will ever reach f u 11
flight, even as the painfully con-
trived Model Cities machinery
begins to grind out programs.
"I'm not convinced this pro-
gram can work," said Walter
Hundley, Seattle's Model Cities
director. "But I am convinced
that what we -had going before
Model Cities didn't work."
By forcing coordinated plan-
ning, Model Cities attempts to
make the sometimes competing
arms of federal, state and local
bureaucracies w o r k together
toward common goals.
Residents of the Model Cities

neighborhoods, many of t h e m
scenes of racial rioting, are giv-
en a stake in the program on
the theory - established in the
antipoverty program - that the
community must have a voice in
decisions that affect its fate.
If it is to work, those close
to the program say, Model Cit-
ies needs time, a continuing flow
of money and clearcut and per-
sistent White House support.
The Nixon administration has
taken a cautious approach to
the program, a Johnson admin-
istration creation still in t h e
planning stage when the Re-
publicans took office.
"After freezing Model Cities
money for months, the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban De-
velopment (HUD) began deal-
ing out program funds late last
spring.
Now, 56 cities, armed with fed-
eral block grants, have begun
whittling away at the priority
items in a five-year agenda
created not by federal govern-
ment but by the local M o d e 1
Cities machinery itself.
Housing development corpora-
tions are being formed. Neigh-
borhood health centers a r e

opening. Workers are looking
for high school dropouts and
persuading them to join exper-
imental schools like Seattle's
"Soul Academy."
The other 94 cities remain
either in the planning stage or
locked in one of the 1,001 pit-
falls that beset a program with
severe planning requirements,
including citizen participation
without citizen control.
The program's sophistication
is cited by critics, including some
in the upper reahes of govern-
ment, who say the program is
unrealistic and cannot work.
They say it not only requires
a deep pool of uncommon ad-
ministrative skill, but also co-
operation by scores of agencies
so encrusted in their bureaucra-
tic ways they could never be
made responsive to the special
needs of the model neighbor-
hoods.
Besides, the critics say, t h e
focus on neighborhoods w il l
generate political pressures to
expand the range of benefits
citywide, to the metropolitan re-
gions or eventually to all U.S.
cities. Costs, already uncertain,
could then become astronomical.

tics lose sight of," said Robert
Baida, an assistant Model Cit-
ies administrator for HUD, "is
that the exact thing we are try-
ing to find out is whether it
will work or not."
"This is probably the 1 a s t
chance to prove the system can
change." The program is young,
but already "We certainly have
raised expectations on the part
of people," said Richard Lugar,
Indianapolis, Republic m a y o r.
"And they have to be met."
Meeting those expectations
will cost money. How much
money is one of the imponder-
ables of the Model Cities pro-
gram.
Created by Congress in 1966,
it won't be into full execution-
with all 150 cities operating pro-
grams-for at least another
year.
One HUD projection placed the
150-city five-year spending de-
mand at between $27 billion and
$56 billion.
But Model Cities is geared,
not to spending demands, but
to the amount available f o r
spending.
Besides, officials say, before
Model Cities no one knew just
how much money was actually.
going into the cities from the
welter of federal, state and local
sources.
In Seattle, for example, Hund-
ley expects to be spending close
to $10 million within the first
year of program operation, al-
though the city received only
$5.2 million in direct Model Cit-
ies money - the HUD supple-
mentary or block grant.
The balance will come from
state, local or private sources
and standard federal aid pro-
grams that did or could have
come to the city with or with-
out a Model Cities program.
So far HUD, which granted
$22 million to the cities f o r
planning, has spent about $300
million in supplementary funds
for the cities in operation.
Hundley and Model C i t i e s
took the lead in organizing the
black workers, then stepped in-
to the background and stayed
there, aloof from the+ confront-
"ations that followed.
"It's as plain as day," s a y s
black electrical contractor, Ty-
ree Scott. "We don't control
nothing out at the airport. We

don't control nothing down-
town. But we do control the turf
right here."
"If the problems can't be fixed
here, they can't be fixed any
place," Seattle argued in first
asking for inclusion in the pro-
gram.
Seattle is a lovely rolling city
tucked between the sea and the
mountains, even its poor neigh-
borhoods are laced with rose-
bushes and green lawns. Yet, all
the problems that afflict Cleve-
land, Detroit or New York are
beginning to afflict Seattle, al-
though on a lesser scale.
And most of those problems
are concentrated in the model
neighborhood - four s q u a r e
miles deliberatel shaped to in-
clude poor white as well as
Negro, Indian, and Oriental dis-
tricts.
Recently elected Mayor Wes
Uhlman believes Seattle has
gained a symbolic importance in
judging the progress of Model
Cities nationally.
"They're, the Nixon admin-
istration, is going to watch ourTA
program closer than the others,"
he said. "I suspect, if we suc-
ceed, it will be proof to them
that the program can work.'
