Butler Measure Asks
Area Compact on
Roads and Parks
By Harold B. Roqers

Legislation to authorize an
interstate compact among the
District. Virginia and Maryland
for joint planning of roads and
parks in the Metropolitan Area
today was before the Senate
Public Works Committee.
Introduced yesterday by Sena-
tor Butler, Republican, of Mary
land. the measure is the first
of its kind among many other
bills already before Congress for
better integration of facilities in
the area.
The resolution would give the
consent of Congress for negotia-
tions Of such a compact among
the three jurisdictions. But any
such agreement finally worked
out would require approval by
the State Legislatures and Con-
gress before it could become
operative.
The compact, Senator Butler
explained, could be developed to
set UP a kind of authority which
could not only plan, but also exc
cute the program.
Traffic is especially congested
along the entire Eastern sea-
board" Senator Butler said," and
nowhere is the necessity for ar
teries of rapid movement of We
hicles more urgent than in the
National Capital and the routes
Of ingress and egress to the city.
National defense and mobil-
ity and the general welfare and
convenience Of those employed
in the nerve center of our ma
tional life dictate that there
must be a harmony of purpose
and planning between the roads
authorities of the three sensitive
areas involved"

Eisenhower Can Act
On Segregation Here,
Donohue Declares

President Eisenhower can act
to end segregation in some phases
here without legislative author
ity. Commissioner F. Joseph Dom
ohue said last night.
In his state-of-the- Union mes
sage yesterday. the President de-
clared he proposed to use what
ever authority exists in his Office
to remove segregation in the
District.
"It isn't so much a question of
what the President can legally
do" Mr.. Donohue told a televi-
sion audience over Station
WMAL-TV. 1.-THE Importance
that attaches to the Presidents
statement is the prestige of his
Office"
The Commissioner said he
thought he had in his own mind
a pretty clear delineation" of
where the area Of legislative au-
thority ended and outside au-
thority began.
May Go to White House.
He said earlier in the day
that he had made a study of the
matter, and suggested that he
may arrange to discuss it in the
next few days with some one at
the White House.
There are some limited areas
in which the President can ef-
fectuate his purpose" Mr.. Don
ohue said.
"I don't mean the President
personality mean the President
acting through the Board OF
Commissioners can take action, y
he explained.
after all, the Board Of Com
miSSionerS is the administrative
body which carries out under
appointment of the President, as
believe it, the policies of the
President.
"The President having stated
his policy, I believe there are
areas by which we as a Board OF
Commissioners, or any Board of
Commissioners. can make effec-
tive the suggestion"
Grateful for Recognition.
Mr.. Donohue added that he
was exceedingly grateful" to
the President for recognizing
and promising to do something
about the continued existence of
"second-class citizens" here.
Asked about restaurant segre-
cation here, Mr.. Donohue said
he believed the Commissioners
could do by regulation what the
legislative council Of 1872 and
1873 sought to do by legislative
action. But he said the city
heads would be subject to the
same constitutional tests.
Mr.. Donohue said that while
the Commissioners have directed
the Corporation Counsel to pre-
pare a regulation to ban segre-
cation in restaurants, they have
not decided on the question OF
policy as to whether they should
promulgate such a regulation.

Alexandra Council
Backs Willard Plans
On City Government

Alexandra Clty manager ira
F. Willard today went ahead
with his plans to spruce up the
city government, and Mayor
Marshall J. Beverley took to
studying the city charter.
The manager was given a
unanimous vote of confidence
and told to proceed with his i'm
provement program at a special
Council session yesterday. Mayor
Beverley was bluntly reminded
not to usurp the managers au-
thority.
For the past week the Mayor
and the manager have been at
odds over the latter's contro-
versial report criticizing organ
ization of the city government.
Yesterday was the showdown
Mayor Beverley came to the
meeting equipped with a two
page statement of praise for the
city government.
Calls on Chief Halves.
Mr.. Willard also came
equipped. He called on Maj.
Russell Hawes, chief of police.
to tell if he knew of any occa-
sions when members of the
Council gave direct orders to his
department. Mr.. Willard's re-
port complained of councilmen
going over his head.
II recall a number of instances
where I have had contact with
members of the council" Maj.
Halves said II don't know if
you would call them directiveS.
Mayor Beverley figures in all of
them"
Then Mr.. Willard called on DR..
Thomas F. McGough, health Of
ficer. DR.. McGough said he could
recall no instances of interfer-
ence in the past four months and
asked If he should 60 beyond
that.
Invited to Go Back.
II don't care how far you go
back" said Mayor Beverley.
Everything I've done has been
with the city at heart. All these
things are petty. AS Mayor, I do
think I have some right to do
something, as long as I am not
interfering with the operation of
any office"
1T isn't a question of your
motives said Councilman Frank
Mann. "It's just question Of
procedure"
Vice Mayor Leroy s. Bendheim
provided the peace formula:
II feel it is somewhat useless
to proceed further. I doubt that
a single councilman has not
talked with some department
head at one time or another.
I think what we're here to do
is determine the contents Of the
report, and if there have been
any violations of the charter
to correct them"
BY unanimous vote, the council
adopted. "in spirit" a 10-page
statement by Mr.. Bendheim, ac-
cepting the managers report as
constructive and objective" and
expressing a vote of confidence
in the manager. The council
authorized Mr.. Willard to have
experts from the Wharton Grad
uate School at the University of
Pennsylvania make a preliminary
survey of the Alexandria situa-
tion.
Mr.. Willard thanked the coun-
Gil for the spirit in which his
report was received. The meet
ing ended. Mr.. Willard and
