Dodgers to ten innings in the

But this year the effective work
of the Phillies pitchers-Robin
Roberts, Jim Konstanty, Curt
Simmons and Bubba Church,
plus the hitting and hustling of
such stars as Seminick, Watkins,
Sisler, Jones and others has been
too much for the other National

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 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.

Representative Durham. Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, who in

The bill is similar to one intro
duced earlier by Mr.. Durham, but
with changes in the language and
more specific provisions for f.
nancing the multi-million- dollar

The course of the projected,

Planners Ask Fairfax to Join
In Sewer Authority Study

A plea that Fairfax join in a
study of a proposed regional water

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 1t
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 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, 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 its own
projects"
Joint Authority Possible.
But, he said, if a 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 authority-operating
like the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission in Maryland
to take over all of the financing
costs and Indebtedness after
proper adjustments have been
made.

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 Nicely,
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 30. 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 Nicely 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 Nicely rent bill would re-
impose controls over apartments
in hotels, where most of the space
is devoted to- transient rooms, but
such transient accommodations
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
