liver SEE a shelf loaded
IL with buildings-big ones,
small ones, post offices. court
houses, Office buildings by the
millions of dollars worth?
Well, there is such a shelf
In Washington. It's tucked
away in a storeroom Of the
Office of Design and Con-
struction. On it are ready-to-
go plans for nearly $50 Fed
eral buildings, each complete
to the smallest specification
and tabled with the name of
the community for which it
was designed.
Cities and towns all over
the Nation are represented in
the shelf plans although
most Of their citizens don't
know it-and If Congress were
to put up the cash today, work
on any of the buildings could
begin tomorrow.
The architects in the De-
sign and Construction Office,
a branch Of the General Serv-
ices Administration, don't like
to talk much about the shelf
plans and they won't give out
any details on what plans
they have drawn up for what
communities. To do that,
they say, would lead only to
harassment from people who
want construction to begin at
once.
They see the plans as a
form Of insurance. Architect
Gilbert Stanley Underwood,
boss Of the Office, recalls how
the Government tried during
the depression - sometimes
with ludicrous results-to find
WORK for millions of unem-
ployed. "The cry then was,
Where are the blueprints?'"
Evening star., 1953-05-03

he says. "Well, If we ever
have that need again, we'll at
least have a few blueprints
on hand"
The estimated cost of the
projects ION the shelf" is
around $50 million. But this
estimate is based on prices at
the time the plans were drawn
and some Of them go back
to just before World War n.
A more realistic total at to-
days prices probably would
be 500 million or more.
Not included in these fig
ures is an undisclosed number
Of plans under special secrecy
wraps. These are designs for
buildings which could be
thrown up in a hurry all
around the country if Con-
greSs were to decide that the
threat of atomic bombing
made it necessary to move
key agencies out of Washing
ton. All that Mr.. Underwood
will say about these so-called
dispersal buildings" is that
they would have exterior
shells" of permanent con-
struction and temporary in
teriors which could be erected
at top speed and then re-
placed when time permitted.
The design Office does
many things besides prepare
plans "for the shelf" It
designs many buildings for
defenSe-related or critical
civilian needs and these are
constructed at once. Such
projects range from the $40
million National Health Gen.
ter at Bethesda, to tiny $4,000
stations for border guards.

PUSAN, Korea, Nov. 13.-The
Army has conducted-in all seri-
ousness-an experiment to find
out whether soldiers like turnip
greens. The result-the majority
did.
One man reported "Suh, ah

The noble survey was made
by Maj. r. c. Benson of Little
Falls. Mimi, to find out what the
Army could do to relieve the
monotony of meals.
Mai. Benson, staff food ad-
wiser for the Korean base section,
served turnip green's to the Of
flcers and men of one headouar-
terS group this week. Only about
80 per cent of the selected group
were Southerners, with whom
that fare is traditional.
Each man was handed a note:
From an objective point of
view it is requested that you in
dicate your relative preference
for the turnip greens served you
during this meal"
Seventy per cent said they
liked them. Twenty per cent
didn't care either way. The rest
didn't like the idea.

Cambodian Premier Quits
In Dispute With King
BY the Assoeioted Press

PHNOM PENN, Cambodia,
Nov. 13.-Premier Pen Mouth
and two of his ministers re-
signed today, apparently because
King Norodom Sihanouk re-
sented the popularity they had
won during the kings five-month
self imposed exile.
The King has not yet accepted
the designations, but the cabinet
met this morning without Pen
Nouthor Simvar, minister of ma
tional defense, and Tiou Long,
minister of public works.
Informed sources said the King
was determined to take over
control of governmental affairs
and that he felt Pen Mouth had
acted too independently while
the King was sitting out his
exile in Siam Reap, north of
Phnom PENN. 1t was reported
the King sharply reproached the
ministers on the quality of the
parade which they organized last
Sunday to celebrate the return
of the King to his capital.
The parade was made up of
army recruits, armed with wood
en- guns. One of the reasons
the King went into exile was to
enforce independence demands
on the French, including greater
control of the Cambodian army.

Allies 10 Lift Curbs
On East Germans
Travel 10 West Zone
BY The Assoeiossd Press

BONN, Germany. Nov. Is. -
The three Western occupation
powers have decided to permit
East Germans to travel freely
between Communist East Ger
many and West Germany. allied
officials said today.
"A note to the Sov,ets announc-
ing this step is now being drafted
by the allied nigh commission,
they said. for delivery to Vlad-
imir Semyenov. Soviet high
commissioner, within a few days.
The allies will abolish the le-
quirement that East Germans
must possess interzonal passes
to cross the Iron Curtain from
tier into West Germany.
simultaneously. the West Ger
man government will abandon
the requirement that East Ger.
man travellers must have tenn
pofary residence permits before
they can Cross the frontier, the
officials said.
The East German Communist
government still requires inter-
zonal passes for travellers from
West Germany. The Russians
on November handed control
OF these passes over to the East
German regime.
What effect the allied decision
will have on travel between East
and West Germany-unless the
East German government also
abandons its travel restrictions
is an open question.
Allied and West German off,
cials agreed, however, that the
allied move will put Russia
and the East German Com
munists-on the spot.
Russia has been urging rival
West and East German govern
ments to negotiate the question
of eliminating travel controls.
The allies replied that the four
occupation powers set up the
lnterzonal passes system and
That only they can end it.
