used to prevent the Andrews
Base from being used by COM

Arthur B. Price, president of
the Baltimore City Council, and
acting Mayor of Baltimore, told

the CAA based it's authority, re-
quires approval of local county
commissioners before planning
an airport in any county.

tested such use of Andrews field
and residents in the area are
bitterly contesting it.

ers for its ample modern facili-
ties, now being used only up to
Is per cent capacity.
John Vest, of the Helicopter

duced could fly from Friendship

The Maryland delegation in
Congress is launching an Oh
ganized drive to block the use
of part of Andrews Air Force
Base for commercial airliners.
The decision to make the fight
was reached unanimously at a
meeting yesterday of all seven
House members from the State.
They hope to divert the air traf-
fic overf1owing Washington Ma

Friendship Airport, instead.
The battle will be carried to
President Eisenhower, against
any requested appropriation in
Congress and even in the courts,
under a program of action laid
down at the meeting.
The Free State legislators
pointed out they had helped
block the proposed auxiliary air

hope they might enlist help of

Representative Fallon. Balti-

Big Dormitories
Seen Possible
AT Hospital Site
Architect Bures Plan
For AU Campus Use
If SibIey PIeo Fails

An architect today testified
that if the new Sibley Hospital
is not constructed on disputed
site on the American University
campus. the university probably
will erect big dormitories there.
This possibility was raised by
Louis Justement, architect who
designed the new building which
Sibley Hospital and American
University want to erect on a
part of the campus near the
Spring Valley neighborhood.
Residents of Spring Valley and
nearby Wesley Heights don't
want the hospital there.
The university and the hos
pital went to the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia in an effort to set aside the
action of the District Zoning
Commission in changing the
university's classification from
residential A to residential A re-
stricted. The ruling prevented
construction of the hospital.
University Plan Cited.
Mr.. Justement pointed out
that American University has
master plan for its future devel-
opment. He added:
1T is reasonable to suppose
that if the hospital does not 60
on that site. the land will not be
left vacant"
The architect stated that dor
mltorieS on that site might be
just as great a mass" as the hos
pital. In fact. he added, the hos
pltal will sit back further than
the dormitories probably would.
Model With Periscope Used.
Mr.. Justement then produced
what he described as an accurate,
three-dimensional model of the
proposed hospital. A periscope
went with the model to give a
view similar to what a person liv-
ing across the street would see
from his front porch.
Mr.. Justement said he brought
his model along because one ex-
hibited yesterday by Attorney
James c. Wilkes, representing
the objecting property owners.
gave the wrong impression. He
said Mr.. Wilkes model was what
a bird or man in helicopter
would see.
Judge Holtzoff said he and op-
posing attorneys will go to the
site at II am. tomorrow to look
it over.

ArmorY's Use Refused
For Rosenberg Committee

The National Guard Armory
Board today unanimously turned
down a request by the Commit
tee to Secure Justice in the
Rosenberg Case to lease the
Armory Sunday for a prayer
meeting"
Don Rothenberg of Cleveland,
spokesman for the committee,
yesterday inquired about leasing
the Armory for 5000 persons.
Once before a group had asked
for use of the building and was
turned down. At that time the
board expressed the opinion that
it would be inadvisable to rent
a Government building to a
group protesting Supreme
Court decision. Such action
would tend to be a reflection on
the decision of the court" the
board said.
The Supreme Court refused
for a third time on May 25 to
review the death sentences i'm
posed on Julius and Ethel Ro-
Senberg on charges of giving
atomic secrets to Russia.

The highway officials had pre-

Citizen Council
Backs Agencies
In Shift Protest
Oppose Plans to
Reorgoni4e Health,
Traffic Departments

The Citizens Advisory Council
has lined itself up beside old-line
agency heads in opposition to
dismembering the Vehicles and
Traffic Department, as such, and
shifting parts of the Health De-
partment into a newly organized
office.
The stand was fiat rebuff of
the District government reor-
ganizers' program to establish a
new combined Highways and
Traffic Department and a con-
solidated Licenses and Inspection
Department.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
released the advisory group rec
concentrations late yesterday.
The Commissioners may or may
not take the councils advice,
since the groups function is
purely advisory.
Less than a month ago, the
city heads heard from the agen-
cy heads themselves bitter pro-
tests against the reorganization
proposals.
Screwy, Said Seckinger.
Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger labeled "cockeyed and
Screwy" the plan to transfer
the bureaus of health engineer
ing and food inspection from the
Health Department to the pro-
posed new licensing g-inspectionS
setup.
Traffic Director George E.
Kneipp termed a Serious mis-
take" the idea of breaking up
his big department to shift traf-
f1c engineering to a new Highway
and Traffic Department, and
traffic administration, including
driver permits and auto regiStra-
ton to the new licensing outfit.
Council members concluded
that both agency directors are
right. They decided the Traffic
Department, as it now exists, is
"smooth-running, efficient and
well-organized." And although
it was felt that the bureaus of
health engineering and food in
spection might be consolidated.
in any event it is essential"
that they remain under the ad-
ministrative control of the
Health Department.
Retains Health Powers.
The reorganizers had planned
from the outset that, while the
two health bureaus inspection
work would be transferred, the
Health Department would still
retain the power to draft health
regulations and licensing re-
quirementS.
The council further recon-
mended leaving the Traffic Ad-
visory Council as it is now con-
stituted. The reorganizers had
proposed adding this advisory
body. as we'll as a parking ad-
vlsory group. to the new High
ways and Traffic Department.
The council did concede that the
presently independent Motor We
hicle Parking Agency should be
in the highway setup.

measures department to the new
licensing inspection setup. but
with mo loss of Identity" was
urged by the council. Other
standard licensing functions and
inspection agencies suggested for
consolidation by the reorganizerS
were also Endorsed by the coun-
Gil.
These include building, cleo
trical, plumbing and elevator in
spection sections, the license
bureau, central permit bureau

Sunshine Might Even Brighten
Their Chances in School

The cover Of one Of Sam S
school note books covers a gap
in the Kelley's front door.
He used the book this year in
the third grade-a grade behind
for a 10-year-old. His sister,
Sally and twin brother Ray are
also back in their schooling.
Sally was put in a special un-
graded class for backward stu
dents.
The three are out of school a
lot with colds. Their grand
mother explains that the house
is damp. There is not enough
coal, even with the coal given
them by the church. And their
diet is not good. The kids are
listless, they find it hard to con-
centrate.
It's hard to feed, clothe and
warm the children properly on
$136 month public assistance.
Mr.. Kelley ran an elevator
until four years ago. That's
when his asthma and heart
trouble got so bad he had to
stop. Mrs. Kelley wraps bum
dies in department store when
she can get a days work. The
money she makes is deducted
from the assistance grant-So
the family income remains the
same whether she works or not.
Pride drives her to work when
ever she can.
Grandmother takes in ROOM
erS and helps the family some.
Toward the end of the month
the kids do lot of trudging be-
tween the two houses-getting
bread and milk from grand
mother.
These children need a ouildup
in the sunshine and fresh air.
There is a way they can get it
if you'll help them to a 12-day
vacation at Camp Goodwill this
summer.
You can do it through The
