Special Bills
To Authorize
Acc Building
Joint Committee
Decides TO Bypass
Leuse-Purchuse Plan
By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

In a surprise action the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy
yesterday decided to introduce
special legislation calling for
construction of a new Atomic
Energy Commission building in
the Washington area.
The committee bypassed the
proposed lease-purchase meth
cd of financing construction, I'M
der which the Government would
pay rent over a term of years
and own the building at the end
of the period.
The committee authorized it's
chairman, Senator Anderson,
Democrat, of New Mexico, and
it's vice chairman, Representa-
tive Durham, Democrat, of North
Carolina, to introduce the spe-
cial bills. A total of $40 million
would be authorized.
Areas Inspected.
Speculation has placed the new
Acc building at one time near
Leesburg, Va. at another, near
Frederick, Md, or Upper Mont
gomery County. 1t is known the
General Services Administration
has been inspecting various COM
munities in this region to get
first-hand information on facili-
ties available.
The new policy means legisla-
ton will be introduced in both
houses of Congress. Committee
members expect it to be referred
back to the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy.
About 30 Miles Away.
Other Government sources said
that, under the Office of De-
Tense Mobilization dispersal pro-
gram, the building could be built
about 80 miles away from the
National Capital. ODM frowns
on constructing buildings vital to
the national defense in the city
itself.
The committee gave no reason
why it abandoned lease-purchase
in this instance. The Acc build
ing item had gone through the
Senate and House Public Works
Committees, as we'll as the
Budget Bureau and the General
Services Administration. The
necessary certificate of need, as
required by the Lease-Purchase
Act, had been obtained from
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of
Acc.
GSA Studies Sites.
Presumably, under the new
legislation, the GSA would erect
the Acc building. Several po-
tential sites already have been
considered, but before plans can
be drawn for the building the
exact site will have to be picked,
officials explained.
Chairman Strauss and sew
eral Acc staff members attended
yesterdays closed session Of the
committee. Chairman Anderson
said the committee felt the Acc,
building should be erected from
the start to meet Aces specific
needs. He pointed out that the
problem of dispersal was not
discussed, but he observed:
You are not going to dis
perse the White House nor the
Capitol building, so why the
AEC?"

bill 10 Shift

Heads for Test
House Vote Set
On Sanitary Aeeney's
Measure Tomorrow
By Gene Goodwin
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10.-The
bill backed by the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
to make the State Roads Com
mission pay for relocations OF
water and sewer lines in high
way projects faces its first big
test in the House of Delegates
tomorrow.
The measure, which sanitary
commission officials say will save
Stotus Of Morylond Bills. Poee AIS
suburban Maryland residents
more than $2.7 million in the
States 12-year roads program.
ran into opposition on the House
floor last night from the Re-
publican minority leader and
some Baltimore City delegates.
Minority Leader Melvin H.
Derr said the roads commission
estimates the bill will cost it
about $40 million, which will
have to come out of construction
funds of the 12-year program.
Says They Knew Cost.
He said the counties and mu-
inequalities knew when the
roads program was approved, in
1858, that they were going to
have to pay the cost of moving
public water and sewer lines to
make way for the more modern
roads.
This would be changing rules
in the middle of the game" he
said. =
Delegate Blair Lee III, Demo-
cratic chairman of the Mont
gomery delegation, argued it
would be cheaper for the State
to make such relocations because
it gets so much better interest
rates on its bond issues than do
local sanitary commissions.
Delegate Joseph Tydings, DEM
ocrat of Hartford, successfully
moved that the vote on the
measure be delayed until tomor-
row to give some delegates a
chance to discuss the impact of
the bill on their counties with
local officials.
Some Bills Approved
The House, at the same time,
approved and sent to the Sem
ate:
l. A Prince Georges County
bill to give the Democrats an
other seat on the seven member
School Board by increasing mi
nority representation from two
to three.
2. A Joint resolution calling on
the county commissioners to ap-
point and support a citizens
commission for the industrial de-
velopment of Prince Georges,
8. A bill by Delegate Margaret
c. Schweinhaut, Democrat of
Montgomery, to authorize State
forestry camps for delinquent
boys. She said the measure
would enable the State Welfare
Department to start an expert
ment camp on an abandoned
CCC camp site in the mountains
Of the Allegany County.
The Senate, meanwhile, en-
acted two Prince Georges County
bills. One would require that
volunteer fire departments and
other agencies and organizations
receiving county funds file semi
annual financial statements with
the county commissioners. The
second would cut the Greenbelt
Fire Department in for a share

Seen on 9Op6 Parity


MINNEAPOLIS, March s.
Chairman Cooley of the House
Agriculture Committee predicts
another showdown fight in Con-
gresS over restoration of farm
price supports to 80 per cent Of
parity.
Appearing at the annual Min
neapolis Farm Forum yesterday.
the North Carolina Democrat
said the only major congress
sional dispute on a Federal farm
program is the level of price
supports.
He said. however, he is not
certain which way Congress will
move on his bill to restore 30
per cent of parity supports for
basic crops.
Speaking earlier. Senator All
ken. Republican, of Vermont,
chairman Of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee last year,
said there is small likelihood
that the current law providing
for flexible supports would be
changed.
1T would be idle" he said, ito
spend time discussing the merits
Of the various price PHILOSOPHERS. "
Mr.. Cooley suggested that a
bill to add milk to the list of
basic commodities proposed for
90 per cent supports has little
chance in Congress.
If dairymen can work out a
program Of controls, we'd be
willing to give it a try" he said.
80 far. they haven't. And I
doubt that dairy people are
ready for controls"
