Question Of j. )
Building Sites
Is Reopened
REYNOLDS Reverses
Stond;; Would Allow
Suburban Locations

The question of whether tempo
rary new Government buildings
should be erected in the District or
in nearby Virginia is being reopened
at the Capitol, it developed today,
because of the decision to place some
of them on the Army War College
grounds.
Although Congress decided several
weeks ago that the group of struc-
lures, to cost s4,lO000O, would have
to be located within the District,
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee an
nounced he will ask the Senate
within the next few days to reverse
that decision and allow the Federal
Works Agency to put them either
"in or near" the District.
Senator Reynolds, former chair
man of the District Committee, took
the lead earlier in the session in
urging that the buildings be erected
in Washington rather than on pro-
posed site in Arlington County, but
he indicated today he sees serous
objections to the proposal to place
them in the War College grounds.
Secret Work Carried On.
The North Carolina Senator said
the Army carries on secret work
at the War College, and that the
traffic and parking situation would
be another reason for not placing
Office buildings there.
The reopening of the issue was
revealed when the Appropriations
Committee made public hearings on
another urgent deficiency bill, show
ing Senator Reynolds had asked the
committee to reserve the earlier
decision and give the Government
discretionary power to reconsider
the discarded Arlington County site.
The Appropriations Committee,
however, failed to put the amend
ment in the pending bill. When
the bill comes UP on the floor early
next week, Senator Reynolds will
offer it as an individual amendment.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado, in charge of deficiency
bills, explained in today's hearings
that it was the Senate that origi-
nally provided the buildings could
go in or near the District, but in
conference the House insisted on
conflning the authorization to the
District.
Prefers to Let Decision Stand.
John N. Edy, an official of the
Federal Works Agency, indicated in
the hearings that John w. Carmody
head of that agency, would prefer
not to see the question reopened
again. After explaining that Mr..
Carmody was out of town on Gov
ernment business, Mr.. Edy testified:
THE question came up as to
whether we would like to see some
legislation initiated that would put
the buildings back in Virginia as
was at one time proposed. He (Mr
Carmody) merely answered that the
Congress had already acted and he
much preferred to leave the matter
where it was, without initiating any
change whatever
Senator Reynolds indicated today
he still favored general principle
of keeping public buildings within
the District and thought when he
made the original suggestion there
was ample Government-owned land
available as sites. He does not
believe, however, they should be
placed near the War College.
The announcement was made 10
days ago that three of the seven
proposed temporary structures would
be placed on the War College
grounds.

LONDON, May 16.-Sir Neville
Henderson, who was British Am
bassador to Berlin when the war
started, described Rudolf Hess to-
day, in his first public statement on
the affair, as ''an absolutely fanatical
supporter of the Nazi system who
was honest and sincere"
Henderson said he considered it
out Of the question that Hess had
come to Britain on a secret mission
because of the impression the flight
had created in Germany.
"In my opinion" Sir Neville said,
"he has become convinced in the
last two years that Nazism, as it has
developed, is on the wrong track and
that it is being used to serve the ends

 He said he picked up woman in Salem about the time the Cochran girl vanished. He said he did not remember her name but that they had a few drinks and parked in the lovers lane. He has been told to find the woman to support his alibi.
 Slain in Quarry
 Asst. DiSt.-Atty. James Roy said the man told friends he believed the Cochran girl was slain in a quarry about five miles from the scene The man also reputedly ex- pressed the opinion the girls body was left in the lovers lane about 8:3O a. m. Sunday, July 20. but re- fused to say how he knew this.
 The suspect zeputedly had taken keen interest in the investigation. He allegedly told authorities he was at the entrance to the lovers lane on July 20 about 2 p. m. - some 40 minutes before the girls body was found.
 The body was discovered after an anonymous telephone call was made to a Salem radio station telling where the body lay.
 Authorities said the suspect first came to their attention during a check of some 5000 "square-backed" autos in the Lynn-Salem-Swamp- scott area in search for the death car.
 In line with the investigation of the mans alibi, police said they would call conference of detec- tives and doctors in an effort to obtain further clues in the 20-day- old investigation.
