ginia's Institute of Public Affairs

groups" Mr.. Henderson said.
Justsaback from a 35,O0O-mile

the worst conditions were in
countries where citizens had little
or no opportunity to take part in
self-government and particularly
in those countries where young
people are expected to "be seen
and not heard"
The Junior chamber, he said,
is seeking to develop in more
than SO nations. organizations
Of young men who will work on
local, State and national prob

Gets Transit Dispute
tomorrow or tuesday
By Tom Burke

The task of seeking peaceful
settlement Of a month-old
pension and arbitration dispute
between Capital Transit Co., and
its union employees will shift
from the District Commission
ers to a three-member fact-find-
ing board tomorrow or Tuesday.
The Commissioners and the
Federal Mediation and Concilia-
ton Service will act jointly in
naming the fact-finders. The
two bodies announced last Tues
day they would name the board
within seven calendar days.
Ofticials Of Division $50, Anal
gamated Association of Street.
Electric Railway, and Motor
Coach Employees of America
(AFL), have been voted author
ity to call a strike at any time.
The contract covering pensions
expired on June 80.
Monthly pension paid by the
company is $40 at age IS after
Is years service. The union has
asked substantial increases and
demands arbitration. The COM
pany maintains the contract
does not require arbitration Of
the dispute.
Negotiations which have been
going on in other areas of the
labor management field in the
District in recent months ap-
peared no nearer settlement
than the transit dispute.
Some 1000 members Of Dis
trict 2, Communication Workers
of America (CIO), have author
lied their representatives to call
strike If negotiations with the
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., break down. The

Maryland Delegation
To See Eisenhower
On Airport Dispute

Maryland's nine Congressman
have a date at the White House
tomorrow to try to talk Presi-
dent Eisenhower into having
Friendship Airport instead of
Andrews Field used for National
Airport's overflow.
The two Senators and seven
House members are down for a
15-minute appointment starting
at 2:45 pm.
Representative Fallon, Balti-
more Democrat, announced last
month that his States entire
delegation would fight any ap-
preparation for converting An
drews to commercial airline use.
Court Battle Possible.
He said the battle would be
taken to the courts. If necessary.
Yesterday Representative
Small, Republican, reviewed some
Of the anti-:Andrews, pro-Friend-
ship arguments in a letter to
the Washington Board of Trade.
Last month the board in
dorsed the plan to let Andrews
supplement the crowded Ma
tional Airport.
Mr.. Small. a leader in the
fight to keep civilion planes out
of the Air Force base in Prince
Georges County, wrote that he
has been a member of the trade
board many years and usually
supported its moves.
But in this instance it strikes
me that the board may have
acted without full knowledge of
all the factors in this case" he
wrote.
Andrews Not the Answer"
His letter said Nationals need
for some place to help it handle
its flights is recognized but AN
drews Field is not the answer. "
Representative Small's letter
said Friendship, near Baltimore,
is only % minutes farther from
Washington than Andrews. The
% minutes is negligible in long
flights, he said.
He also wrote that Friend
ship Airport is operating at only
so per cent Of its capacity.

case, resume the war. Mr.. Rhee
said that unless the United
States promised such a course of
action, he would oppose any
truce.
The United States went part
way to appease Mr.. Rhee. This
is the present State Department
policy on this point:
We are going into the political
conference with the full inten-
ton of making it work. If the
Communists do not negotiate in
good faith we do not intend to
remain in the conference for
ever. We will be in constant
consultation with the South Ko-
rean government during the
course of the political conference
and will also consult with others
in the light of circumstances
then prevailing.
Concession on Timing.
The United States also made
a reluctant concession to Mr..
! Rhee on the timing of the ne
gotiations for a mutual defense
treaty between the United States
and Korea. President Eisen-
hover in his recent letter to Mr..
Rhee offered the treaty, but said
negotiations should begin after
the truce is signed. The United
States South Korean negotia-
tions already are under way.
This should help Mr.. Rhee save
face, although State Depart
ment officials say it is obvious
the mutual defense treaty will
not be signed until the truce
goes into effect.

Construction of the long
planned Fort drive in time for
the Tooth anniversary observ-
ance Of the Civil War in 1861
is being backed by the District
Civil War Round Table.
The proposed freeway would
link 81 historic forts built to
protect the Capital during the
Civil War on a peremeter of the
city.
The Round Table, a nom
profit organization interested in
the history of the war, espouses
the project as a measure both
to preserve and display the forts
and to relieve downtown traffic
congestion.
The group cites an estimate
by traffic experts that $4,000
trips are made daily into the
city by motorists bound for
the downtown area, while 122,-
500 others going elsewhere are
forced to pass through the CEN
tral area.
Land Already Owned.
It noted that nearly 80 per
cent of the l,Vd involved in the
project already is publicly own
ed, and administered by the In
terror Department.
"All of the land acquired
through the years for the con-
struction of the Fort Memorial
Freeway now is lying idle and

Huge Sewage
Plant for Area
Condition of Potomac
Is NutionoI Disgrace,
He Tells Senute
By Harold B. Rooers

senator Morse, Independent OF
Oregon, branding the Potomac
River a flowing cesspool," yes
terday proposed a huge sewage
treatment plant here for the
entire Metropolitan Area, to re-
move q serious health threat.
The District Committee men,
Der said he has asked the COM
mittee staff to prepare legislation
he hopes to introduce this session
for the project.
Making a lengthy speech on
the Senate floor for such a plant
the Senator declared it would be
more than worth the millions it
might cost. Later he estimated
such a project could run into an
outlay Of $75 million, a 500 mil
lion, or more.
U. s. to Share Expense.
The expense would be divided
among the Federal Government,
the District. and nearby Mary
land and Virginia, under his
plan. Such a plan would be
worked out on the basis of a
compact involving the Govern
ment itself and the two States,
probably including the District
If the District gets home rule
as he hopes, the Senator said,
the municipal government of
the Capital might be a party to
the compact, but the Federal
Government should assume "a
very generous contribution" to
the cost.
To gather further information
backing his project Senator
Morse announced to the Senate
he plans to make a boat trip
down the Potomac within about
q week.
When he gets back, Senator
Morse said, he will prepare a re-
port on his trip, not only for the
District Committe, but also for
his weekly report to the Senate
and the Nation on behalf of his
independent Party"
1t was during such a report
to the Senate yesterday that the
Oregonian called the condition
OF the river a national disgrace"
He charged that Congress had
complained about appropriating
funds for health. but had
wasted millions" particularly in
defense appropriations.
To point up his attack on the
pollution problem, Senator Morse
in opening his speech referred
to a recent story in The Star
with a headline "U. s. Fails It's
Responsibility in Pollution Fight,
Group Says" He inserted the
story in the Congressional
Record.
If citizens in the Metropolitan
Area can be brought to realize
that the. Federal Government
would cooperate with an ade-
quate share. Of the COST" he pre-
dicted. this river will not be
the flowing cesspool it now is"
DereIicti0n by Congress.
Charging Congress had been
"derelict" in not facing the
problem" Senator Morse asked:
Have We done all we can and
should to protect the health and
welfare or our people? The an
ywer is. NO."
Information had reached him,
the lawmaker told the Senate.
that one settlement" within
sight of the Washington Monu-
ment and the Capitol Dome was
dropping raw sewage into the
river with no treatment at ALL"
Sweeping dirt under the rug
is not good housekeeping" he
snapped.
ITO take care of the whole
Metropolitan Area would cost
millions of dollars, but to spend
them" he asserted, would be
one Of the soundest investments
Of taxpayers dollars. It would
return in value to the taxpayers
many times the cost"
