Senate IVA Backers
Prod Eisenhower 10
Keep Project Going
BY the Assoeiefed Press

Senate supporters of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority said to-
day they intend to keep prodding
the Eisenhower administration
to demonstrate, by adequate ap-
preparations. it does not intend
to scuttle the huge multiple
purpose project.
Senator Gore, Democrat, of
Tennessee, said in an interview
that President Eisenhower's
reference to the IVA as creep
ing socialism and the budgetary
strangulation of the iva have
not had a favorable effect on his
popularity in the valley, par
ticularly in view of his cam
paign promises to the contrary"
Other Senators Join Drive.
Other Democratic Senators
from the IVA area. although I'M
willing to be quoted by name,
also said in separate interviews
that the Presidents popularity
among the people there has
slumped because of doubts about
administration support for the
IVA.

adequate the budget proposals of
the Eisenhower administration

Senate Sidetracks
Broker Amendment
For To-Day Breather
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate today began 10
day cooling off period in the
fight to change the treaty-mak-
ing powers in the Constitution.
During that interval both
sides will be looking to the
country for reaction to support
their respective positions for or
against a constitutional amend
ment.
When the debate is resumed
on February is majority of the
Senate may go on record for the
George plan in a preliminary
test But a majority vote for an
amendment will be meaningless
unless two-thirds vote for it on
final passage.
Informed sources still doubt
that any amendment can muster
two-thirds. There also is a pos
Sibility that the entire subject
will be recommitted to the Ju-
dietary Committee for further
study before it reaches a final
vote.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, sponsor of one of the
proposals, said some agreement
may be possible after we have
mulled this thing over for
awhile" But the Georgian, the
Associated Press reported, took
the view that any move to avoid
a showdown on the treaty-mak-
ing controversy would merely
"perpetuate the issue" in politics.
Floor Debate Opens.
Before the issue was side
tracked yesterday Senators got
down to serious floor debate for
the first time. Up to now the
discussion has consisted of cut
and-dried speeches. Highlights
of yesterdays debate were:
/. Senator George invited
President Eisenhower to go to the
country with his objections to the
George substitute. The Senator
said Gen. Eisenhower would have
great difficulty" explaining to
the people that he wants the
power as an individual to over
ride constitutions and the laws
Of the States"
2. Senator Hennings. Demo-
crat. of Missouri warned that
the George plan may weaken in
stead of protect States rights.
3. Senator Bricker. Republican.
of Ohio, whose original proposal
seems destined for drastic re-
vision or defeat, sought to show
that the leading opponents of
his plan outside of the Senate
are advocates of world govern
ment.
4. Senator Morse, independent.
of Oregon made a plea in sup
port of further committee hear
ings. He will make the motion
later this month to send the
entire issue back to committee.
Would Limit Agreements
The George substitute would
not change the traditional
method of ratifying treaties by
two-thirds of the Senate alone.
But it would prevent President
from entering into an executive
agreement with another country
on matters affecting internal
law in the United States unless
supported by an act of Congress.
Administration spokes men
have opposed the George plan
because of a fear that unless
modified it would affect the
Presidents war powers as COM
mander in chief. and his au-
thority to recognize governments
by receiving their ambassadors.

SO on British Ship
Rescued in Chino Sea
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MANILA, Feb. 6.-The British
motorship Fernmoor, its bottom
ripped open on a China Sea coral
reef, sank today shortly after
the crew of 36-had been rescued
from the lifeboats in which
they abandoned ship.
The British tanker Tomo-
gerus-prevented from reaching
the stricken vessel by shallow
water around the reef-reported
the sinking. The Tomogerus
and the japanese Eisho Maru
stood off 4 miles from the reef
while the smaller Panamanian
ship Liberal moved to within a
mile of the motorship and picked
UP the crew.

The unfavorable political
military news from Indo-C China
seems to worry the Pentagon
and State Department more
than it worries responsible
authorities in Paris.
BY and large, the French re-
gard the nearly 8-year-old
campaign against the Wet
Mimi as lost. They would be
willing to pull out their forces
if some vague prestige-saving
device could be found so that
France does not lose face in
North Africa.
For more than a year we
have footed most of the bills
for the Indo- China war. Last
year we gave France more
than $500 millions and are
prepared to spend more this
year. Our interest is not to
keep do-China as a French
colony but to prevent the Reds
from establishing themselves
in one of the most vital posi-
tions in Southeast Asia.
Indo-China and adjacent
Burma and Siam are the rice
bowl of Asia. There is no doubt
that once the Communists
establish themselves in Wet
Nam there will be no hope for
the continued independence of
it's two neighbors in the west.
There will also be little chance
left for the British to remain
in Malaga. Thus the U. S. S. r.
would control the strategic
gateways from the Pacific to
the Indian Ocean.
Our French friends fully
understand the situation.
They turn to us and say:
What can we do? We have
fought and bled for nearly
eight years with no result.
The enemy was at one time
elusive. Hence We could not
obtain a decisive victory. Now
he has strong support from
Communist China. His mill
tary strategy is conducted by
men from Peiping and Mos

sums and taking advantage Of
certain conditions in Wet Nam

Massachusetts Firm
To Plan Belt Route
In Maryland Park

Olmstead Brothers of Brook
line, Mass, have been retained
to prepare detailed development
plans for the Maryland portion
of Rock Creek which will be ira
versed by a section Of the pro-
posed belt route around Wash
ington.
In q letter to Harland Bar
tholomew, chairman of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Commits
sion. Robert M. Watkins. chair
man of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, declared:
Because of their outstanding
reputation in the field of park
design, Olmstead Brothers were
employed to prepare designs
which would not only meet the
standards desired by your COM
mission and by this commission.
but which would be an outstand-
ing contribution to the park and
parkway system of the Nations
Capital :"
Mr.. Watkins said the firm had
been asked to develop:
/. The design and location of
highway interchanges and con-
nectionS with the proposed park
way and the landScaping Of the
entire area through which the
parkway passes.
2. The type. design and loca-
ton Of park and picnic are as
adjacent to the parkway. foot
paths and bride paths in the
area, and recreation facilities in
these two park units such as
tennis courts. ball fields. wading
facilities. shelters and play lots.
=. 8. Proposals for relocating any
portions of Rock Creek which
may be necessary to make the
most effective use of the park.
Mr.. Watkins said the plans In
volve the development of ap-
proximately 500 acres of park
land on both sides of Connecticut
avenue and extending from East
West highway to the Kensing-
ton-Garrett Park road. The
roadway would enter Rock Greek
Park at Wisconsin avenue be-
tween Grosvenor lane and Pooks
Hill road and end at Connecticut
avenue. Another section would
begin about 500 feet east Of Ken
sington parkway and end at
Jones Mill road and Beach drive.
When the NCPC approved the
use of Rock Greek Park for the
parkway. it stated that detailed
plans for development must be
submitted for approval. The
flrm is to draw such plans.
Mr.. Watkins also pointed out
that he hoped the plans so de-
veloped would be used as a
standard for future park de-
velopment in Maryland.
The firm was conSultant for
the 1901 general plan for the
District; consultant in 1918 for
the general development of Rock
Greek Park in the District; and
many other such projects. The
founder of the firm, Frederick
Law Olmsted, was a member of
