New Housing Sought
For Federal Tenants

The Arlington Community
Council for Social Progress is
leading a drive to find new
homes for residents of 1900
units in Federal housing prof.
ects which are being terminated.
The five temporary Govern
ment housing projects are to be
torn down and residents have
been ordered to vacate.
The Community Council, at a
meeting last night in the Airing
ton Unitarian Church, decided to
inform county organizations OF
the results of a survey showing
the income and housing needs
of families in the project.
Groups to be given the results
include the Community Chest,
Regional Planning Commission,
Council of Church Women.
Council of Catholic Women,
League of Women Voters, Cham
ber of Commerce and Northern
Virginia Builders Association.
The group also decided, ac-
cording to Co-chairman Charles
E. Planck, to investigate the
possibility of creating home
owners co-operatives. either to
build a new project or to buy
dwellings already built.
The council also decided to
find out where low-cost homes
and apartments can be built in
the county.

cCarthy May Not Query
President on Red Trade
By The Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy acknowl-
edged today that a letter he has
written to President Eisenhower
demanding the Presidents views
on western allies trade with Red
China may never be sent.
The staff Of the Senate Inves-
legations subcommittee which
Senator Mccarthy heads noti-
fled it's members Thursday that
the letter had been sent. then
sent them a corrective memo
randum" Friday notifying them
that it had not been sent.
Senator Mccarthy told a re-
porter he ordered it held up until
he could discuss it further with
subcommittee members.
IF the committee insists, it
will be sent" he said. but I will
recommend against it because it
might appear to be in the nature
of asking the President to testify
I don't think a President should
be asked to testify before a Con-
gressional committee.
The letter had been suggested
by Senator Symington, Demo
crat, of Missouri. There were
reports that Vice President
Nixon had taken a hand in per-
suading Senator Mccarthy tc
withdraw his letter to the Presi-
dent.

To Form Cabinet
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, May 25.-Andre Die.
thelm, 81, leader of the parlia-
mentary following of Gen.
Charles De Gaulle, today decided
against trying to put together a
! new French cabinet.
Mr.. Diethelm's decision, which
had been expected, came after a
meeting with the 70 Deputies
who were elected under the BAN
ner of De Gaulle's Rally of the
French People. De Gaulle since
has renounced the RPF as a po-
litical force. but the Deputies
continue to use the name.
President Vincent Auriol Of
fered Mr.. Diethelm the job yes
terday.
Observers were surprised he
did not at once turn down the
invitation, since his right-wing
faction had little chance Of
patching up a coalition powerful
enough to govern effectively
Mr.. Auriol called in Mr.. Diet
helm to try to form Frances
18th government since World
War II after Socialist Guy Mol
let refused a bid yesterday.
Socialist Premier Rene Mayer
was forced to resign last Thurs
day after four months in office.
The fall Of the Mayer gov
ernment, coming Just as plans
were announced for a Bermuda
meeting Of United States, Brit.
ish and French government
chiefs, put the French govern.
ment in an awkward internas
tional position.

pearance. The chase was re-
sumed from there.
The animal was in a small
pen outside the main rodeo
arena when it suddenly butted
its way free and jumped a g.
foot fence around the central
ring. A rodeo hand gave chase
but the bull escaped into a
nearby wooded area.
Aids Underprivileged.
The two-day rodeo was spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club for
benefit of Montgomery County's
underprivileged children. The
Saturday show spectators were
shocked when a trained Brahma
bull suddenly turned on its mas
ter, Everett Daniel, 81, and
gored him to death.
The KiwaniS Club announced
the establishment of the Everett
Daniel Fund and said half Of the
proceeds of the rodeo would go
to his widow and three children,
who had witnessed his death.
The club yesterday collected
an additional 1855 from specta-
tors for the benefit of Mr.. Dan
lel's family. Contributions to
the Daniel fund can be sent to
rodeo chairman, Charles c. Con-
ner, 1910 Eighteenth street NV.
The club yesterday also began
auctioning of q trick riding
horse and four other horses
owned by Mr.. Daniel. His widow.

The Senate already has passed

To Reds in Middle East

The position of Israel as a
deterrent to Soviet expansion in
the Middle East and a protector
of the position of both the West

Top Jet Aces Arrive Here,
Leery of All the Fanfare

Both said they didn't want the
public to get the idea North
Korea's jet pilots are pushovers.
Almost in unison they said,
"They are good, but we have
better"
The famed MIG. the fliers de-
scribed as a very good airplane,
superior to American jets in
some respects and inferior in
others. The difference in flying
ability. they added, makes the
difference.
about all we can use as a
yardstick is the score. We are
out in 'front.'" both said proudly.
Their plane is good" Capt.
Mcconnell, the first triple ace in
the history of jets, said, but
they couldn't fight us in our own
back yard. We have to fight in
theirs"
The flyers analysis of the Red
pilot is that he is individually a
pretty savvy fellow who doesn't
seem capable of efficient team
work.
They don't seem to have the
teamwork we have" Capt.
Fernandez observed. land, it's
costing them plenty"
Each also admitted to a Mixed
up feeling about being home.
They are glad to be here, yet
they want above all else to get
back in the fight, a chore that
has been Officially denied them.
IF 'Repete' wants to fight. let
him. That's his job, isn't it?"
Col. Fernandez asked.
More Valuable at Home.
The Pentagon, however, feels
that men such as Capt. Nc
Connell. with 16 Red jets to his
credit. and Capt. Fernandez with
IA, are more valuable at home
teaching younger men how to
turn the trick.
Following a trip to New York
later this week, Capt. Mcconnell
will return to California and his
wife and three children. Capt.
Fernandez will go to Miami where
the city fathers are preparing
full blown ticker tape recep-
ton for him.
AS for the $64 question Were
any Russian pilots flying the

keniIworth Residents Hill
Avenue WIDENING Plan

Residents of Kenilworth ave-
nue. NE, between Benning road
and the District line, protested
today at a public hearing against
the proposed widening of Kenil-
worth avenue for about a mile
and a half.
The project would connect
with the Baltimore-W Washington
parkway and probably would be
used by two-thirdS of the truck
traffic between Baltimore, Wash
ington and points south. The
plan has been approved by the
Commissioners and the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The plan is to tie the road in
with East Capitol Bridge traffic.
It would be a six-lane highway
with two service roads for the
convenience of the area. About
"a homes, including three apart
ment dwellings, would be af-
fected by the widening OF the
avenue.
Principal objectors to the plan
were the Kenilworth Citizens
Association and the EaStland
Gardens Civic Association. Leon
Wiseman appeared for the Kenil-
worth association and Harold B.
Chinn for the Eastland group.

Both Capt. Joseph Mcconnell,

electronicS officer at Donaldson
Air Force Base, Greenville, sc.
He threw his arms about his
son. nicknamed "Repete." and
said: ia
Son, YOU did a damn good
job"
Capt. Mcconnell, who did not
arrive until 10:30 pm, at first
had only the Air Forces official
greeter, 1t. Col. w. L. Helman-
toler, Col. Pete and Capt. Re-
pete to help him debark.
However, inside the airport
terminal a shy, middle-aged
woman asked Capt. Mcconnell
if she could take his picture.
She identified herself as Mrs.
James c. Cook of Route 5, Alex
andria, Va. Her son, I'd Lieut..
Robert G. Cook, flew wingman
for Capt. Mcconnell on the day
both he and Lieut.. Cook got
their first MICS.

Action Slated on Bill
With Rent Office Funds

The House today agreed to a
conference with the Senate on
the third supplemental appro-
priation bill which carries $1.3
million for District services.
Included is language provid-
ing for pay for the staff of the
District rent administrator to
June 80 and $78,285 for District
Civil Defense to enable it to
match Federal funds for air raid
warning devices.
Delay in final action on the
bill already has caused the rent
Office staff to go payless. The
House passed the bill April %
and the Senate on May 6. Since
the latter date the Senate has
been waiting for the House to
name it's conferees. This group
will be headed by Representa-
tive Taber, Republican, of New
York, chairman of the House Ap.
preparations Committee.
