The projected memorial park

up vistas unknown to the public
in an area less than IA miles
from downtown Washington. Parts
of the country, especially where
the Potomac races through q curv-

mixers and surveyors. Trails are
narrow, steep and rocky on both

The parkway will follow the
Potomac as closely as possible,
mostly at distance of about 1000

|Vinson Seeks Action
To Speed Passage Of
Bill for Civil Defense

Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee said
today he will ask the Speaker to
expedite newly introduced Federal
civil defense legislation by sending
it to the Joint Atomic Energy
Committee.
This was regarded as a time
saving maneuver since the Atomic
Energy Committee held earlier
hearings on civil defense and a
joint committee would avoid the
need for two sets of hearings.
The administration hopes to get
Federal civil defense legislation
out of this session of Congress as
a means of sparkling the tagging
program to prepare the Nation
against enemy attack.
Called "Not Controversial"
Representative Durham, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, who in
troduced the measure in the House
yesterday, said he did not think
it would require lengthy hearings
because it was mot controversial" !"
A Republican 1awmaker predicted,
however. that some provisions OF
the sweeping measure would pro-
duce argument.
We've got to have some action -
Mr.. Durham said. "We should
pass some legislation on a broad
basis and work out the details
later. The thing is to get some
form of civil defense legislation
before the cities and States"
Contains Some Changes.
The bill is similar to one intro
duced earlier by Mr.. Durham, but
with changes in the language and
more specific provisions for fl
|nancing the multi-million-dolla
program.
One new provision is a dollar
for dollar matching arrangement
between the Federal Government
and the States on equipment and
shelters. The shelter allotment,
however. would be based on the
ratio which the urban popula-
tion of Critical target areas" in
each State bears to the total city
population in all such areas.

Nicely Seeks Hearings
On D. {. Rent Control
As Committee Meets

The Senate District Committee
was scheduled to meet this after
noon on a new bill to extend rent
control here for one month. to
February %. and to recontrol
some property.
Committee Chairman Neely
who introduced the measure yes
terday, said public hearings will
be held later. ...
Still convinced local curbs
should be continued for five
months to June 80. Senator Nicely
said he had been persuaded to
change the termination date in
his bill to coincide with pending
legislation to extend national con-
trolls to the end of February.
Sees Problem Extended.
The present international emer-
gency. Senator Neely feels, is
more likely to extend beyond Feb
ruary. and Congress may be faced
with the necessity of taking up the
rent control problem again later
The District Committee also
has listed for consideration today
the nominations of Andrew J
Howard to be Municipal Court
judge, succeeding the late Emory
B. Smith, and John A. Remon, to
be a member of the District Re-
development Land Agency.
The Neely rent bill would re-
impose controls over apartments
in hotels, where most of the space
lis devoted to transient rooms, but
such transient tions
still would be left free of control.
Complaints From Tenants.
Apartments in such hotels were
decontrolled. by the act of June
30, this year. under an amend
ment inserted on the floor of
the Senate and later enacted
into law. Senator Neely said he
has received numerous complaints
from hotel apartment tenants
that their rents have been in
creased substantially, in some cases
by more than 200 per cent.
The bill would provide that the
rents of such hotel apartments
be rolled back to the level of June
"a, the day Of the Korean attack.
# the apartments were not rented
on June "a, the new maximum
rents would be those .prevailine
for comparable housing hccommo-
dations."

made as yet on what approach

pleted Freeway at Georgetown.

Six in Family
EscapeFumes
As Girl Awakens
Faulty Oil Burner
In Arlington County
Home Is Blamed

Six members of an Arlington
County family escaped possible
serious results early today when
one of them was awakened by
fumes from faulty oil burner
They are James o. Atkins, AZ;
Mrs. Atkins, SO; their children
Sylvia, IA: Gwendolyn, II. and
Althea, 4, and O,Dell Adams, %
brother of Mrs. Atkins. They live
at 827 South Glebe road in a
semidetached brick house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atkins gave this
account:
The parents heard noise in
the bathroom about $3.50 am. and
found Sylvia had fallen. At the
same time, the parents. whose
bedroom door had been closed.
discovered the house was filled
with fumes.
Neighbors Summon Help.
Mr.. Atkins groggily made his
way to the emergency switch for
the oil burner at the head of the
basement stairs. He said that as
he turned it off he must have
fallen down the stairs, because
when he came to he was on the
basement floor.
Mrs. Atkins said she called for
help so loudly she must have
awakened the neighborhood.
The next-door neighbors, Ma
rine Corps. Mai. and Mrs. G. H.
boswell, got up and summoned
police and the Arlington fire de-
partment ambulance.
Maj. boswell helped Mr.. Adams
from the house and other neigh
bors helped other members of the
stricken family.
Child Not Affected.
Sylvia and Gwendolyn were in
one bedroom, Mr.. and Mrs. Atkins
and Alphea in another. and Mr..
Adams in the third.
Alphea was not affected by the
fumes. Her mother recalled that
she told neighbors who came into
the room: "Cut the light out and
let me go back to Sleep"
Members of the ambulance
crew and the county rescue squad
treated the victims at the scene
and then private physician was
called. The family spent the rest
of the night with neighbors.
Mr.. Atkins is a construction
foreman for the Nance g. Vivadelli
Co., Falls Church. Mr.. Adams
also works for the firm. The fam
lily has lived at the Glebe road
address for about seven years.

George Washington would find
relatively few changes along the
rugged banks of the Potomac near
Great Falls if he could return to
survey his own memorial highway
through the area he knew so we'll.
The stony gorge section. which
baked engineers for more than $50
years, is still a wilderness of wild
rapids, steep ravines, tangled un-
dergrowth and woodlands too in
accessible for profitable logging
operations.
Parties running preliminary lines
along Virginia and Maryland
shores could. from all outward
appearances, be following close
upon the heels of the sturdy young
surveyor whose dream was to push
a permanent trade route up the
Potomac from tidewater. <
The woodlands. Government
'naturalists say, have altered little.
Not much. if any. sawmilling has
been done in the area for several
generations and occasional brush
fires are no worse than those set
by the Indians to attract deer in
the Spring by bringing the grass
up early.
Even the game has survived to
an unusual extent, due to super
vision on scattered Government
tracts, and the inaccessible nature
of the country. An occasional
otter is glimpsed along the over
grown banks, and raccoons and
mink prowl virtually unmolested.
Now and then a deer slips down
from the mountains.
Kingfishers flash along the sur
face, or chatter from dead snags;
squirrels are in abundance in

Planners Ask Fairfax to Join
In Sewer Authority Study

A plea that Fairfax join in a
study of a proposed regional water
and sewer authority has been
made by planning authorities in
the suburban Virginia area.
The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning and Economic Develop
ment Commission made the rec
ommendation last night after it
was told that the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors would con-
slider the question Tuesday.
The plan for study, suggested
by the Arlington County Board,
already has the concurrence of
Falls Church. Alexandria and
Fairfax. A committee would be
organized with representatives
from each jurisdiction directed to
see if a jointly operated water or
sewage system, or both. could be
operated more efficiently and eco
nomically. At present each main
tains individual plants.
Board to Study Plan.
Arthur I, Shaffer, a member Of
the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors, said the question
would come up at the next meet
ing of the county governing heads.
Alfred E. Frisbie, member of the
Arlington County Board, said he
realized that Arlington, Alexan-
dria, Falls Church and Fairfax
each had their own water and
sewer plans in various stages of
development and improvement.
There's no reason" he added,
why each political subdivision
should not go ahead with it's own
projects"
Joint Authority Possible.
But, he said, if study shows
that it would be more feasible for
one or more of the communities
to conduct a water or sewer sys-
tenn jointly, consideration would
be given to facilities already
available or planned. He said he
felt that it might be possible for
one overall neutrality-suspicious.
like the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission in Maryland
to take over all of the financing
costs and Indebtedness after
proper adjustments have been
made.

ing at Fairfax Courthouse, also

budget with a view of obtaining
