Ground Control Of Planes
Urged by Gen. Almond
Ry The Assoeioied pve,,

1t. Gen. E. M. Almond wants
the Air Force to let ground force
commanders control the planes
that support the infantry's at
tacks. =
For one thing, Gen. Almond
said. there's too much red tape
involved now for an infantry
commander to get air, support
when he needs it in a hurry.
I'VE have to go through SO
many channels that you ought
not to go through" he said in
a copyrighted interview in the
weekly magazine u. s. News and
World Report.
And even when a ground COM
mander gets planes, Gen. Almond
went on, he isn't assured they'll
be used when and where he
wants them used. The general,
who commanded the United
States 10th Corps in Korea be-
fore he retired last year, cited
instances of young pilots" pass
ing up targets he designated be-
cause the airmen didn't consider
them appropriate" targets.
The only thing he could do
under such circumstances, Gen.
Almond said. was to kick up a
fuss until the Air Force gave
him the strikes he wanted.

Group Seen Backing
Cole as HHFA Head

The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee is expected to
approve former Representative
Albert M. Cole, Republican, of
Kansas, as administrator Of the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency, despite his voting record
against salient features of the
present housing law.
In a public hearing yesterday
Mr.. Cole stood by the objections
he registered as a member of
the House to the present housing
law in 1949. But he assured the
committee that, if confirmed. he
would carry out the law as en-
acted.
He emphasized that he is not
against Government housing
programs, but was disturbed over
some Of the trends in housing
legislation that might enable a
Government agency in Washing
ton to dictate to the people.
II will not attempt to scuttle
any law Congress has placed on
the books" Mr.. Cole said.
Action on the nomination was
postponed last night at the re-
quest of Senator Lehman, Dem
ocrat-Liberal, of New York, who
was absent. The vote probably
will be taken today or tomorrow.

Measure Drafted
To Effect Reforms
In Planning Board
BY Gene Goodwin
Sfnr Stnff cnrrssnnndanA

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 3-The
State senators from Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties
have drawn up a proposed bill
which would effect reforms in the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission but
extend its jurisdiction through
out both Of their counties.
1--WE have reached the con-
clusion that there is little public
demand for the abolishment of
the commission" said Senators
Anders R. LofStrand, jr., Re-
publican. of Montgomery, and
J. r. Fletcher, Republican. of
Prince Georges. in a joint
statement. !
They submitted their com
promise" bill to the delegates
from their two counties last
night.
Emphasizing that they are
not welded to their new pro-
posal. the two senators said it
represented "a crystallization of
our thinking" on the contro-
versy which arose here when
the joint Montgomery and
Prince Georges delegations in
troduced the 1853 version of a
bill to abolish the planning
commission and transfer its
functions to the two counties.
Say Bill Meets Criticism.
They said they are convinced
their new bill meets every we'll
founded criticism of the COM
mission and at the same time
preserves intact and implements
it's vital bi-county regional
planning functions"
The proposal, in extending
jurisdiction of the commission
throughout the two counties,
would abolish the present Upper
Montgomery County Planning
Commission. The bi-county COM
mission now has jurisdiction
only over the urban area of the
two counties.
Rural municipalities would not
be included in the commissions
jurisdiction, under the new bill,
unless they specifically re-
quested it.
The proposed measure also
specifies that no planning COM
mission tax be levied in the new
territory to be taken in for at
least two years.
Duplication and Waste.
The statement of the two Sen
atorS said creation by the county
council of the Upper Montgom-
cry Planning Commission "has
involved duplication of planning
activities and waste" It said
strong opposition to the new
planning commission "has been
voiced by farmers and the vast
majority of other residents"

DODGE ORDER-As far as
can be determined, the Budget
Bureau "'tattle" order to its en-
ployes will not extend to the
rest of the Governments depart
ments and agencies.
The order by Budget Director
Joseph M. Dodge requiring Budg-
ct Bureau employees to inform
on their colleagues in all in
stances of conduct they feel is
''inimical" to the agency's opera
tionS has caused a sensation
among the employees. It has
also caused extreme uneasiness,
the feeling being that it could
result in field day for malicious
goSSips and rumor mongers.
Mr.. Dodge's belated explana-
ton that the order does not
apply to loyalty or security, but
to the agency's business matters,
did not allay these fears. Neither
did the admonition that failure
to report fellow employees of
wrongdoings will not be easily
excused"
There may be several other
department and agency heads
who have similar orders in mind.
But, for the most part. the other
Government bureaus say there
are no similar orders in the
making.
REVISED ESTIMATES-Most
of the Governments depart
ments and agencies yesterday
submitted revised personnel es-
Inmates as we'll as other operat-
ing expenses to the Budget Bu-
reau. This was in line with the
administrations retrenchment
order of a month ago.
The personnel estimates are
somewhat lower than the ones
made by the Truman adminis-
tration in its 1854 budget esti-
mates. The decrease in the job
estimates is based on the assump-
ton that a good many Federal
personnel vacancies that occur
during the year will not be filled.
The Defense Department, Incl
dentally. won't submit it's revised
estimates for another three
weeks because of the complexity
of the task involved.

SNOWSTORM.-Many Federal
workers were late for work as a
result of the snowstorm, but
most agencies won't dock them

leave law, agencies are given the
authority to overlook hardness
when it results from factors that
are no fault of the employees.

Alexandra Accepts
Bid Of Union Firm
Pending Court Ruling

The Alexandria Redevelopment
and Housing Authority has
unanimously agreed to award a
contract for the city's contro-
versial 148-unit low-cost rental
housing project to Washington
union-shop contractor whose low
bid previously was rejected.
Meeting in a closed session last
night, the flve-member authority
voted to accept the $1,157, $40
bid of Victor R. Beauchamp. Inc.
on condition that a pending
court action by another bidder
does not restrict the authority
from awarding the contract.
A motion has been filed in
Federal Court. Alexandria, by
Eugene Simpson & Bro. Alex
andria open-shop contracting
firm which claims it should get
the contract. A hearing on the
motion has been scheduled for
tomorrow, according to Stanley
King. attorney for the authority.
Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan
cleared the way for acceptance
of the Beauchamp bid when he
ruled on February IL that
awarding a contract to the
Washington firm would not
violate the Virginia right-to-work
law or the Taft-Hartley Act.
Simpson, second lowest bidder,
claims Beaucharnp took too long
in resubmitting it's bid and asked
that Judge Bryan's order be
amended to give the contract to
the Alexandria firm.
Beauchamp's bid was rejected
last November after an Alex
andria open-shop sub-contrac-
tor, Southern Iron Works Inc,
filed a protest against the ac-
ceptance of the bid. Southern
Iron claimed an agreement be-.
tween Beauchamp and the
Washington Building Trades
Council prevented it from SUBJ
contracting with the Washing
ton firm, thereby violating the
Right-to-Work Law and the
Taft-Hartley ban against Sec
ondary boycotts.

Text of Simpson House Talk

should be publicly called to
attention.
The present ownership may
be within the law in buying
control of the Capital Transit
Co. at $40 per share, only to
receive it back in dividends in
four years.
"The North American Co.
may have been within their
rights when. upon being Or
dered by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to di-
vest themselves of their Capt.
tai Transit stock, including the
several million dollar cash
Sleeper and did so. Then,
the wolf gang cashed in on it"
The stockholders of the
North American Co. could we'll
wonder why they did not par
ticipate in dividends rather
than their management let the
Wolfson group grab the "sleep-
err" This would be interesting
to know from many angles.
If all Of this is within the
law, then the law should be
amended before it is too late.
Government workers, WASH
ington business concerns, pro-
fessions, banks and the Con-
gress have a vital interest in

Wants Law to BoIk
Transit 'Dissipotion'

If new legislation stopping
this so-called legalized dissipa-
ton of the Capitals trans
portation system is what will
stop it, then I am, willing to
introduce it.
The District Committee will
seek legal advice of the corpo.
ration counsel on it. If puni-
tive (and I am willing to call
it that in the public interest)
legislation is needed, I hope
the corporation counsel. the
new chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission and the
District Commissioners will
soon come up with it, either
to the District Committee or
the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee.
They might just as well
come now. because the battle
is on. If the present method
of milking the surplus of the
Capital Transit Co. and the
public is not stopped in the
not-too-distant future. they
will. in my opinion. appear
asking for help sooner or
later, regardless.

The tert of the speech in
the House today BY Chairman
Simpson of the House Dis
trict Committee on the Capt.
tai Transit Co. folloUs:
The main purpose of the
House Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia is to pass on
legislation for the District.
AS chairman of the COM
mittee I was asked to intro
duce legislation repeating the
Capital Transit Co. Scent fare
for school children.
It was explained to me at
the time that legislation of
this kind was pending in an
other legislative body which
also deals with District of Co
lumbia legislation.
The Scent school children's
fare was established by Public
Law 733-71st Congress, Feb
ruary 25. 1881. Therefore, it
takes legislation to repeal it.
I am informed there are 9
million Scent school fares an
nually. If this amount were
doubled to 6 cents, it would
mean $270,000 additional reve-
enue annually for the Capital
Transit Co. The 1852 earn
ings failed to meet dividends
by $297,000. Rather signifi-
cant, but true.
From the way the Capital
Transit Co. is obtaining rate
increases and declaring divi-
dendS, with wartime profits,
they apparently now see an
other opportunity to grab from
school children. Three cents
today is cheap price for any
thing. Regardless, this com.
pany under present manage
ment is not going to get any
help from me, and ! hope from
the District Committee. in
taking cent from school chill
dren under similar circum-
stances.
I wish to publicly state that
I will not introduce such legiS-
lation in this body. If such is
introduced, I will oppose it in
subcommittee. I will oppose it
in the full committee and on
the House floor If it gets that
far. which I doubt.
Such is my position on this
request and proposal as long
as the present ownership of
Capital Transit is maintained.

Relief Secrecy Under Fire

A move to open public welfare
rolls to officials Of Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties was
expected in the Maryland Senate
today.
Amendments to that end were
anticipated in the legislation to
lift Kent County relief rolls from
secrecy. The proposals would
enable county commissioners or
other officials designated by them
to inspect the welfare lists of
their own county. Such data is
withheld under present State law
unless recipients grant written
permission for inspection.
