Remain DeadIocked

b Plans for a joint meeting O
Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax ans

final attempt to agree on a re.
Igional sewage survey ran into an.
other stumbling block last night
Robert w. Cox. Arlington Coun.
ty Board member and chairman
of the interim committee which
the four communities appointed
to study sewage disposal prob.
lens, said the meeting was sug.
gested to him by Albert A. Smoot

Want Smoot to Call Meeting.
The interim committee. recon-
mended a six-month $4,000 sur
Ivey by the firms of Alexander
Potter Associates. and Greeley &
Hansen. But Arlington wants q
$4,000 survey of three months by
the firm of Alvord, Burdick &

Arlington Board members agreed
Informally to notify MI. Smoot
they stood ready to attend Joint
meeting if he called one.
Notified of this action, Mr..
Smoot said he did not feel he had
authority to call such meeting
II think it ought to be called
through another meeting of the
interim committee, or by the
chairman" he said.

He urged that something be
done quickly SO a final decision
can be made on the regional
sewer survey. He pointed out

the State Water Control Board to
proceed promptly with sewage
abatement facilities.
The governments of Alexandria

survey that was recommended by
the interim committee.
Arlington failed to take final
action, requesting instead that the
other participating communities
consider the shorter and cheaper
survey which the interim commit
tee had turned down. Falls Church
Is due to consider the proposal
tomorrow.

Senate Subcommittee
To Get Revised Draft
OF Dispersal Measure

Chairman Holland of a Senate
Public Works Subcommittee hand
ling the dispersal bill said yester-
day a revised measure has been
drawn up and he expects to ask
the subcommittee to consider it
this week.
A draft of the new bill and a
subcommittee report were drawn
up by the committee staff. Sena-
tor Holland said he suggested some
changes and sent it to Senator
Case, Republican, of South Da-
kota, for his consideration. Sena-
tor Case was added to the subcom-
mlttee for consideration of the
measure, giving Republicans and
Democrats equal representation.
The revised measure, drawn ac-
cording to the ideas of the full
committee, provides for dispersal
.of agencies with 10000 employees
into the suburbs as a. defense
measure. 1t also would authorize
an appropriation of about SLOT
million for buildings and facilities
on four sites.
1t was learned yesterday that if
the full committee carries through
and reports the bill to the Senate.
there are plans for introduction
OF an identical bill in the House.
If this is done, the bill would
be referred to the House Commit
tee on Public Works and would
be the basis of that committees
further study of the program.
A subcommittee of the House
body held hearings on the same
measure that was originally pre-
Sented to the Senate, but rejected
the bill. The full committee has
not acted on the subcommittee's
report.

Vital Test This Week;
Case 10 Fight Proposal
By Don S. Worren

Campaigns to delay, if not to
defeat the Kefauver-Taft WASH
ington "home rule" bill are ex-
pected to become an issue at a
meeting of the Senate District
Committee Wednesday, Capitol
Hill sources said yesterday.
At that session, the committee
is to be asked by sponsors of the
bill to approve it and sSend 1t
promptly to the Senate for action.
Proponents remain hopeful but
it was indicated yesterday that a
battle was in prospect when Sena-
tor Case, Republican, of South
Dakota, ranking minority member
of the committee, announced he
would vote against reporting the
pending bill.
Earlier Stand Altered.
Earlier he had indicated he
would be willing to let the issue
+ go to the Senate should the Dis
trict Committee fail to approve
his substitute bill for. a much re-
duced home rule" plan. This
calls for an elected city council
to serve with the appointed Board
Iof Commissioners and for an
elected city council to serve with
the appointed Board of Commits
sioners and for an elected but non
voting District delegate in the
House.
Only five of the 13 members Of
the District Committee, q check
revealed yesterday. are known toI
be ready to vote for the Kefauver-
Taft bill for a much wider form Of
elected city government.
At least two of the other mem
bers are said to be ready to join
Senator Case in opposing the Ke-
fauver-Taft bill. Some of the re-
naming members were reserving
Judgment on the whole issue.
Council Government Provided.
The Kefauver-Taf bill provides
for a council manager form of
government, to replace the ap-
pointed Board of Commissioners,
and also proposed an elected

Legislation" which would become
law in the absence of vetoes by
the House, Senate or President.

planned, would establish election
machinery in the District.
This would be an advantage to
the District, he said, if and when
a constitutional amendment was
approved giving the District rep
resentation in Congress and a
vote in presidential elections. He
is an advocate of national repre-
sentation.

D. {. Budget Hearing
May Cover Question
OF Wafer FIuoridation

New prospects arose yesterday
that funds might be inserted in
the pending 1852 District budget
for adding fluorides to the city
water supply as a protection OF
the teeth of District children.
Representative Bates, Democrat,
Of Kentucky, head of the House
subcommittee in charge of the city
budget, said the question prob
ably would be. discussed at forth
coming hearings.
Hearings Start Next Week.
He said he hoped to be able to
start hearings on the Districts
record $136 million budget next
week, or soon thereafter and to
conclude them by the end of the
month.
While Withholding any personal
conclusion on the water huorida-
ton program. he commented that
his home, town of Greenup, KY,
was adopting the use of fluorides.
The people there seemed to want
1t" he said.
Formal and affirmative action,
however. would be needed by Dis
trict and Federal Budget Bureau
officials. Mr.. Bates said there was
strong feeling in the House Ap-
preparations Committee against
any budget items not submitted
through regular budget channels.
Not Recommended by
Commissioners.
AS yet the District Commission
ers have not recommended the
f1uoridation program. The request
for this came along last month.
after the pending 1852 budget was
framed by the Commissioners and
the Budget Bureau. Since then,
however, Commissioner j. Joseph
Donohue has agreed to restudy the
question.
District water department Of
flcials estimate the installation
of the program would cost about
100000 and that annual cost
thereafter would be about $780,
600.
District dental groups are fight
ing for the program and it has the
support also of Senator Hunt.
Democrat of Wyoming, a dentist
himself, who is a member of both

Speedy Action Urged.
This is to be an open hearing
although intended primarily for
the views to be expressed by Of
fetal spokesmen.
One of the immediate questions
was whether the bill should be
considered as a whole or whether
the bottle clubs section should be
made a separate bill in the inter-
est of speedier action.
Both Government and congress
sional leaders have urged speedy
action on the bottle clubs bill.

Senate Probe Proposed.
On the Senate side, crime and
the bottle clubs will share interest
with legislation for Washington
home rule. Both of these issues
are to come up at a meeting of the
Senate District Committee We'd
nesday.
Since the Senate Committee has
not conducted any general investi-
cation of crime, it has before it at|
only a bill to license and

Authenticity of Scenes Featured
 In 20th Film

From the great library of film which Twentieth Century Fox made in Borneo on the actual sites of the prison camps where Three Came Home now at the 2Oth Cen tury Theatre, takes place, studio staffs constructed exact duplicates of those camps and the various other buildings designated in Agnes Newton Keiths autobiographical novel from which the film is taken. Mrs. Keith, a victim of the Japs during the war, is played by Clau- dette Colbert.
 Sandakan's principal buildings, and the Kuching and Berhala pri- son camps were reconstructed exactly as they were in Borneo ac- cording to Mrs. Keiths description matched by the location films the studio made. A rubber plantation with seven buildings, including a rubber-cure factory, plus the large scale off-the- ground structures typ ical of Borneo also were built.
 About 2l,000 square feet of tule mating made by Indians at Gala patria near the Colorado river, were used to roof the buildings. More than $50000 was spent on one set, for the sake of authenticity, essen- tial to the spirit of the picture.
 On the spot selected for the Bor- nea villages, prison camps and fac tories, Twentieth Century-Fox re- moved an oil well which had been pumping on the studio lot for thirty years. Duplicates of the main pri- son camp at Kuching were erected in three spots on the studio lot. in the meat" in a big hollow on the studio north lot covering twenty acres; and again on one of the in- door stages.
