Party Lines Divide
Health Plan Reaction,
With Doctors Reticeni
By joseph A. Fox

President Eisenhower's health
program today drew mixed re-
action as Congress, moved to
translate it into legislation.
Centered around a proposal Of
Government aid for private
health insurance plans. the pro-
gram drew applause from Re-
publicanS. criticism from Demo-
Gratis and a wait-and-see atti-
tude from a principal spokesman
from the American Medical As
sociation, one of the leaders in
the fight on an earlier health
insurance plan sponsored by for
mer President Truman.
Dr.. Edward j. Mccormick Of
Toledo, Ohio. president Of the
ANA told the Associated Press in
Los Angeles that he is not sure
that the private insurance COM
panies need the help advocated
by the President. who recon-
mended that the Government
set up a $25 million fund to re-
insure the private health plans
against the special additional
risks" of expanding benefits.
May Solve Own Problems.
"If left alone. I feel the COM
panies will solve their own prob
lems," DR.. Mccormick said.

proach to the Eisenhower insur-
ance plan. DR.. Mccormick said
Before the ANA takes a def
mite stand We need to go over all
the details. That is why I have
just called for special confer
ence to be held next Sunday in
Chicago. Those present will in

prove to be no more than a de-

Communications Workers
Oppose Bricker Measure

ATLANTA, Jan. 10. (R.-A
policy of strong opposition to
the proposed Bricker amendment
was announced today by the In
ternational Executive Board OF
the Communications Workers OF
America.
The executive board drafted
its policy at a meeting here
yesterday and adopted it at a
session this morning.
Joseph A. Beirne Of WASH
tngton, CWA president, said in a
statement:
The board expressed its
faith in the President to make
the proper decisions and pointed
out that the Senate Of the
United States already has the
power to veto any presidential
action which, in their opinion
might cut across the provisions
of the United States Constitu-
ton"

Treaty Compromise
Pressed bye. O.. P. 10
Avert Parry Fight
BY The Assoeietad Press

Senate Republican leaders
hope they can avert a party
splitting battle with a new COM
promise version of the proposed
Bricker amendment to limit the
Presidents treaty-making powers.
Senator Knowland Of Califor-
mia, the Republican floor leader
in the Senate, announced the
new approach" yesterday and
predicted its adoption would
quiet ANY doubt that the Con-
stitution Is supreme over any
treaty or executive agreement. /"
He gave no details.
Studied by Leaders.
Senator Knowland said the
proposed substitute has been fur
niShed to Senator Bricker, Re-
publican, Of Ohio, author Of the
suggested constitutional amend
ment, and to members of Presi-
dent EiSenhower'S cabinet.
He said 1t also is to be placed
before the Senate Republican
Policy Committee today.
Senator Bricker contends an
amendment Is necessary to pre-
vent any treaties he says might
infringe on the constitutional
rights Of Americans. His amend
ment would make it clear that
specific legislative action would
be required before any treaty
could have the force Of domestic
law.
Arguments Against.
Opponents claim that, under
some circumstances, treaties
would. in effect, have to be rati-
ned by the 48 State Legislatures.
Constitutional lawyers differ on
whether this is true.
Gen. Eisenhower has said he
could not accept q return to the
18th century pref Constitutional
arrangement under which the
States could nullify q treaty
worked out by the Federal Coy
ernment.
Efforts have been under way
for some weeks to work out a
compromiSe-but so far neither
side has budged.
Senator Knowland told q news
conference the new proposal
would do more than any so far
to relieve the concern of a good
many people that there might be
a loophole whereby treaties might
amend the Constitution"

Teacher Morale
Too High to Need
Recognition Doy

The teachers in Alex
andria's schools seem to be
secure il the knowledge that
they are appreciated by the
school hoard.
Earlier this year, the board
has asked School Supt. T.
C. Williams to sound out
opinion within the school
system on establishing a
Teacher Recognition Day"
for honoring the city's edu-
Gators generally and those Of
long service particularly.
Mr.. Williams reported to
last nights school board
meeting. after conferences
with individuals and with
the Alexandria Education
Association. made up of the
city's teachers. He said the
consensus is that they have
adequate salaries. good sick
leave and emergency days
and adequate and comfort
able places to teach and
materials to work with.
AS a matter of fact. he
was told by the association:

School Board 10 Tell
Alexandra Council
'0f Space Crisis

The Alexandria School Board
last night decided to seek an
early meeting with the school
committee of the City Council
to discuss construction of addi-
tional facilities to meet the city's
ever-growing elementary school
population.
School Supt. T. c. Williams
told board members accommoda-
tion of children is getting to be
a critical problem.
Mr.. Williams said classes now
are meeting in Easements and
rooms designed originally for
shop. home economics and music
rooms. This situation is expect
ed to become worse during the
next semester, when. he said,
five or six more such rooms win
have to be used to meet swelling
enrolment.
Addition Ready In FAN.
Completion of the Cora Kelly
School in time for the opening
of school next fall will add 20
school rooms to the elementary
system, Mr.. Williams noted, but
will not meet an increase of
1000 students he anticipates the
city will get.
Development along Duke
street. in the area between the
Patrick Henry School and the
Brookville development and
along Janney's lane, are likely
to make those areas the most
seriously in need of added facili-
ties, he said.
To meet the situation, he said,
II classrooms could be added to
the school system through addi-
tions to the Patrick Henry School
of six rooms, the Minnie How
ard School of five rooms and the
Macarthur School of six rooms
for a total cost of $4,000.
Less Costly.
A similar number of school
rooms in a new building would
cost the city about $4,000, Mr..
Williams said. Two other ad-
vantages he pointed out are that
architects indicate such addi-
tionS could be made ready for
use by next fall. whereas new
construction would not be avail
able for use before the fall of
1856. Also these rooms in the
additions would be in the areas
where they are most needed at
this time.
School Board members also
noted that the additions would
make it unnecessary to hire a
new principal and custodial
staff, and would thus lessen
added operating costs.
The other alternative to a
new building, Mr.. Williams
pointed out, is increased trans
portation of children around
between schools.

Seabrook Protests
BaIk Rezonin!g Of ;
tracts as Industrial

A delegation OF about 20 resi-
dents OF the Seabrook area OF
Prince Georges County yester-
day defeated a request for re-
zoning Of three properties on
Smith avenue from commercial
to industrial.
The group was represented by
Carl A. Brozyna OF the Sea-
brook Civic Association, who
said the proposed change in
zoning would destroy the value
OF residential property in the
area. He said residents had
purchased lots with restrictions
and covenants which protected
their properties and they were
led to believe that the area
would remain only for resi-
Dental purposes.
The request for rezoning was
brought by Thomas F. HALEY,
who said through his attorney,
John r. Lillard. ST., that the
three tracts, each listed in
separate petitions. had been
planned for industrial purposes
by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Near Tracks.
c. Warren Giauque, repre-
senting the commission, in
dorsed the proposal, stating that
the properties were near a rail-
road track and were unsuited
for residences.
Mr.. Brozyna said, however, the
Industrial zone Of the area should
be kept east Of Seabrook road.
The Board Of Sounty Commits
sioners agreed that a change in
zoning would destroy the value

Backlog Of Demand
lis Watched as Steel
Output Drops Again
By the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 23.-The
lackadaisical rate. of steel pro-
duction dropped another point
last week to So per cent of rated
capacity, the magazine Steel said
yesterday.
In discussing the slack pace of
steel output, the weekly journal
said that among steel consumers
there are some notable excep-
lions to the general trend.
Last week it pointed to the
construction industry as still
having a heavy backlog of de-
mand. and this week it described
the oil and gas well drillers as
consistently good buyers of
steel
Other favorable factors cited
ny the magazine included a
slightly increased manufacture
ing level for farm equipment, "
and "the Government program
of shipbuilding."
