.eIlru Is Reported
Hostile 10 U. 5. Plan
For Asia Alliance
BY John M Hiehtower
Associated Press Staff WFifer

Prime Minister Nehru's Indian
government is reported to be
persistently opposed to the
American plan for q defense
alliance against communism In
Southeast Asia. Intensive Brit
ish efforts to break down Indian
hostility have not succeeded thus
far.
The British government is
showing more patience than the
United States In trying to modify
what is considered here to be
the highly unrealistic Indian
attitude. Some authorities think
that efforts to arrange a South
east Asian security conference
within a month may be delayed
while the British continue their
efforts.
However, others appear con-
fident that Britain will not allow
the tentative time schedule to
be upset In any important way.
This is reported to provide:
/. A round Of declarations
from cooperating capitals with
/ in q week asserting their inten-
ton to make an alliance and
announcing plans for the con-
ference.
2. Converting of the conference
lin early September-a little
later than the original target
date Of September /. The present
expectation is that the meeting
place will be Baguio, the summer
capital of the Philippines.
The conference will be, in the
main, a show of solidarity on the
part Of Western and Asian ma
tons attending, since 1t seems
almost certain that the big prob
lens Of drafting a treaty Of
alliance will be solved before
hand at Washington.
American and British officials
see no hope OF midas member
ship in the pact. In fact they
never have. But they had hoped
for a sympathetic attitude a
kind Of morale approval, how
ever cool. midas reported hos
tility has come, therefore, as a
sharp disappointment.

Cost Of Modernizinq
Civil Service BUILDING
lis Set al S3,34O,OOO

The cost of undermining the
old Civil Service Commission
building at Ninth and r streets
NV. would be $3.340,0OO, the
General Services Administration
said yesterday.
A new building would cost
about $4,250. 900. it said.
Legislation is pending in Con-
gress which would authorize
GSA to dispose Of this building,
formerly the old Patent Office,
one of Washington's landmarks.
Some officials want the old struc-
ture torn down and new stores
and. a parking garage erected.
Butsothers stoutly maintain the
venerable building should re-
main as a historic and architec-
tural creation.
Net Value Set at S4,35O,00O.
Officials pointed out the APP
praised value ofthe building and
the land is $4.5> million, from
which $3.50, 900 would have to be
deducted if it were torn down.
This leaves q net appraised value
Of 81, $50. 900.
GSA gave this breakdown Of
items needed to put the old
building in an efficient. up-to-
date condition: Lighting and
electrical system, $3.50, 900; heat
ing and plumbing system.
$500. 900; structural repairs and
improvements. $4,000; con-
version of existing elevator
equipment and installing two
additional elevators, $3.50. 900;
adequate cafeteria. $3.50, 900; re-
pairing, cleaning, caulking and
waterproof1ng exterior stone
work, $575, 900, and air condi-
tioning equipment, $1.375, 900.
But even after this renova-
ton, GSA reported the building
still would remain an old one
and only moderately would Its
use be improved. Further, it said.
realignment of F street from
Seventh to Ninth street NV.
would cost around $3.50, 900 for
exterior building changes, in adj
dition to repair and renovation
work.
Cost Per Occupant High.
From the standpoint of disable
space. the Civil Service Commits
sion building is inefficient. GSA
commended. It pointed out that
the annual cost per occupant
and there are nearly 1000 Fed.
eral workers employed THERE'S
$247. The average for a num-
Der of other buildings is $155.
If Federal workers now housed
in the Civil Service building were
in q building as economical to
operate as the General Account
ing Office building. Fifth and q
streets NV. the Government
would save $4,000 annually.
There the annual cost per occu-
pant is only $l37.
