Two Senator'S Oppose
Censorship in Korea
Except for Security
BY the Asseei1tsd Press

Two members of the Senate
Armed Services Committee spoke
out today against any censor
ship, other than that required
for security reasons, on post
armistice news from Korea.
Senators Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont. and Hunt, Democrat,
Of Wyoming commented, in sepa-
rate interviews, on a dispatch by
John Randolph, AsSocited Press
correspondent in Korea, report
ing what he termed growing
trend toward double" censor
ship news there. Mr.. Randolph
wrote that this included refusal
to pass some items for political"
reasons.
There certainly should be but
one censorship" Senator Fland-
ers said, land that strictly for
security reasons. Yet the cen
soring Of news dispatches there
seems to be on two levels, and
that would seem highly i'm
proper"
Chairman Expected to Study 1t.
Senator Flanders said Chair
man Saltonstall Of the Armed
Services Committee doubtless
will give it some thought"
Senator Hunt said he thought
"the 9th Army officers in Korea
wouldn't be doing that unless
they were directed to do it," and
he added:
The place to start inquiries
would be at the White House,
where the Commander in Chief
can speak out and put a stop to
1t instantly"
Senator Hunt said he thought
somebody in high authority
should act swiftly, because free
dom of the press is a precious
thing and no censorship should
exceed the bounds of precautions
necessary for security reasons"
In his dispatch from Korea,
MI. Randolph said new and un-
reasonable restrictions have been
imposed by Army press officers
on press coverage of some impor-
tant news events since the arm
istice. He also reported both
open and concealed limitation on
press communications and trans
port and said there has been dis
elimination against accredited
Korean, Japanese and Chinese
neWsmen.
Ridgway Arrival BoycOtted.
Mr.. Randolph wrote that most
correspondents in Korea boy
cotted the arrival of Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway, United States
Army chief Of staff, in protest
against restrictions placed on
news coverage at the air field
where he landed.
Senator Flanders said he
wanted to study Mr.. Randolph's
detailed report before discussing
its other points.

Harry L. Merrick, president Of

as an alternate commercial air.
port for the Washington Metro
politan Area.
Mr.. Merrick also expressed the
trade groups opposition to use
of Baltimore's Friendship Air
port as an alternate.
He gave these views in a letter
to Representative Small, Repub-
lican, of Maryland. Mr.. Merrick
stressed that the Board Of Trade
feels use of Andrews would be
q safe, economical and con-
venient alternate to overcrowded
Washington National Airport.
Mr.. Small had written to Mr..
Merrick July 10 contending
Andrews would be unsafe, un-
economical and that Friendship
would be equally convenient.
Outlines Boards Reasons.
MIR. Merrick first advised Mr..
Small of the trade groups in
terest in developing commercial
aviation in the Nations capital.
Then he outlined the boards
various reasons for supporting
Andrews. He said this decision
was made after it was apparent
that Congress was not going to
provide for the acquisition of
necessary land for construction
and development of an airport
at Burke, Va. The Board Of
Trade has advocated this
project.
Mr.. Merrick. said his organi-
zation does not consider the
mixing of commercial and mill
tary flying on the same field to
be dangerous"
In support of this. Mr.. Merrick
listed about 20 major airports
which, he stated, have co-ordi-
mated military and civilian air
traffic.
Stresses Economy Claim.
In answering Mr.. Small's ex-
preston of a desire for economy,
Mr.. Merrick added:
Locating the alternate air.
port at Andrews Air Force Base
rather than at Burke would OBJ
viously require much less
money" he declared.
Mr.. Merrick also expressed the
opinion that Friendship is too
distant" from downtown Wash

nearing capacity for Its Balti-

Green Defends Series of Suits
As Fulfilling RESPONSIBILITIES
Has Unofficial Veto
Over Governments
In Two Counties
By WiIIiom J. EIvin

Law suits filed by John Locke
Green, the weary but persistent
Arlington attorney, have given
him what amounts to an unof1-
cial veto power over the acts of
local governments and even the
voters themselves.
Mr.. Green is quick to point
out that of more than a dozen
major cases he has initiated
against Arlington and Fairfax
counties and the city Of Alex
andria, only one was filed in
his own behalf. In the other
cases. he was acting In his for
mer capacity as Arlington Coun-
ty Treasurer or was representing
a client. & #s
Effects Of Suits.
Mr.. Green's law suits have had
these effects:
Prevented sale Of $2.8 million
in Arlington school construction
bonds
Prevented sale Of $11 million
in Fairfax County school con-
struction bonds.
Forced abandonment Of a
$500,000 swimming pool con-
struction program after the pro-
posal was approved by the voters.
Forced Arlington to abolish
for a time-its now re-estab-
lished Department of Real Es-
tate Assessment.
Knocked out rent controls in
Arlington before they were
scheduled to expire.
Ousted three Federal employees
from the Arlington County Board
and had the effect of ousting two
members o fthe Fairfax County
School Board,
In addition. as the lone out
spoken opponent. he helped de-
feat a proposed $7.5 million
school bond issue in Arlington
in 1851.
Programs Are Stymied.
The negative results Of Mr..
Green's attacks on members and
actions Of the Arlington County
Board and School Board are i'm
possible to calculate.
While suits are in court. pro-
grams wait and decisions are
postponed.
If he is successful in two ac-
tions now before the State Su-
preme Court, the county's f1nan-
cial structure will receive sew
ere jolt. He has challenged the
validity of the business license
tax and the county auto license
tax - measures that bring in
more than ST million year.
Why does he do it? .
Stresses Responsibilities.
Mr.. Green has these answers:
AS county treasurer from 1889
to 1851, he felt it was my re-
sponsibility to protect the pub
hes money"
AS representative of his clients,
he was trying to win cases.
AS an individual, although 1T
would be much easier just to let
1t go, I'm fighting against this
socialistic, paternalistic govern
ment we've got. It's going to be
the wreck of this country. and
that'll be the end of it."
He has filed suit personally
against the Federal employees on
the Arlington School Board be-
cause they're incompetent. Vot-
ing bond money to them is like
giving a checkbook to a kid"

Virginia Beach Comes Back
With 81 Million in New Sand

a year in annual grasses, Ber-
muda grass for the summer and
rye for the winter. But the sea
air stimulates the golfers in
their self imposed rounds.
Compared with most Atlantic
resorts, this one is on solid
ground. For centuries the ocean
has been eating away the land
rather than building sandbars
and closing in bays. Two small
bays of irregular pattern lie be-
hind the northern part of the
beach in a pine woods. They are
called Linkhorn Bay and Crystal
Lake.
Land ErOsin Fought.
When so much of the beach
eroded away that the surf was
breaking over the concrete
boardwalk and washing the sand
from under it, the situation had
to be faced.
The city Of Virginia Beach
appropriated some money and
Joined the Army'S Corps of En-
glneers in making a study of the
problem. It was estimated that
the ocean was carrying away
$4,000 cubic yards of sand a
year.
A Virginia Beach Erosion
Commission was created by an
act of the Virginia Legislature
early last year. Edward H.
Church, president of the Bank
of Virginia Beach, was appointed
chairman.
Pumping Decided On.
It was decided in consultation
with the engineers that the most
economical, quickest and best
way from the standpoint Of ap-
pearanceS would be to replace
the beach by pumping in sand.
Jetties, it was decided, would
be unsightly,
The city raised 100000 with
bond issue and altogether spent
$1.2 million on the operation.
When it was finished early this
year 1.25 million cubic yards of
sand had been pumped from the
inlet and spread along the beach.
The commission is a continuing
one and it plans to replace sand
when and where it is needed in
the years to come.
The plan now is to make the
inlet, which will be the source
Of the sand, a permanent port
for boats taking fishing parties
into the ocean. a form of fun
hitherto not on the list at Vir-

Funds Refused
For D. {. Area
Park Projects
$100, 900 is Voted
For Extension of
Memorial Highway

Future development Of parks
IN Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties suffered a set
back yesterday when Senate and
House confereeS refused to au-
thorize funds for further land
acquisition.
The confereeS approved $780,
900 to be used in purchasing
land for continuation of the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway in Fairfax County, Va,
however.
The appropriations bill agreed
to by the conferees will be sent
to both the Senate and House
early this week for action.
Funds for d. c. Refused.
The House originally had re-
fused any funds for park and
parkway development under the
Capper-Cramton Act. This act
was passed in 1880 to provide
for the orderly development of
parks in the area. Its funds were
used in the District as well as
Maryland and Virginia.
No funds were authorized for
the District either in the House
version of the bill.
The Senate added $265, 900 for
development of parks built
around streams in Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties plus
the 100000 for continuation of
the George Washington Memoir
ial Parkway in Fairfax County.
When conferees got together,
the Senate was unable to get
agreement on its $265, 900 addi-
tion for the Maryland parks. The
House conferees would only agree
to the 100000 for Virginia.
100000 For Parkway.
The 100000 will be used to
match funds raised by Fairfax
County and the Virginia State
Assembly to extend the parkway
through the county. The parkway
on the Virginia side of the Po-
tomac River runs from Mount
Vernon almost to the Fairfax
line.
The plan is to build the scenic
parkway along both sides of the
Potomac to Great Falls.
The refusal Of the conferees to
authorize funds for the Mary
land parks will create a real
problem for the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. Maryland pays
tWo-thirds the cost of the land
acquired for parks under the act
while the Federal share is one
third.
Before the Capper-Cramton
Act. there was no park system
in nearby areas of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties.
The development all has been
under the act.
Passed Up for Sd Year.
But, the Maryland Commission
now finds itself partners in a
deal with a partner who will not
pay its share. This will be the
third year no funds have been
appropriated.
The commission may be forced
to continue development of its
parks without the cooperation
of the Federal Government. If
this happens, the present master
plan will be reviewed and un-
doubtedly curtailed.
The confereeS approved $l26,-
457 for the operation of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. This was a compromise
between the $155.000 the Senate
approved originally and the $97,-
915 the House authorized.
Other items in the conferee
report included $4,000 for the
Interstate Commission on Po-
tomac River Basin; $4,000 for
the National Capital Housing
Authority; So million for the
Smithsonian Institution, and
$l,275.000 for the National GAL
lery of Art.
