A Defense subcommittee Of
the Senate Appropriations Com
|mittee today listened to conflict
ling arguments from Fairfax
County interests over the pro-
posed location of the big Central
Intelligence Agency in the
Langley area.
Roger D. Fisher. representing
Langley area citizens opposed
to the $50 million project, said
in a prepared statement:
I'VE believe that if any other
agency of Government came to
Congress and said it had to locate
its headquarters on potential
'parkland. in the middle of a
residential suburb, against the
wishes of the locality and at a
cost greatly exceeding that of
normal sites for an Office build
ing. Congress would quickly end
such ideas.
I'VE respect CIA and its di-
rector and we recognize the
|agency's important function in
the cold war. But we do not
know any reason why CIA. to
perform that function, must
violate all the principles of
economy and good planning"
Committee Hears Director
Before taking public testimony
the committee went into execu-
tive session to hear CIA Direc-
tor Allen Dulles. After a half
hour he was still closeted with it.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Chavez. Democrat of
New Mexico. is considering the
Senate Supplementary Appropri-
alton bill.
Yesterday the House passed
Ia 1922 million bill representing
Its version of the supplemental

down from about SIG billion.
Among casualties of this whole
sale slashing was So million to

The Navy and University Of
Maryland lacrosse teams, which
have not been extended in 13
collective matches this season,
will play in Thompson Stadium
at 2 pm. Saturday instead of
$3.50 at the Annapolis lacrosse
field.
The changes were made to &C
commodate an expected large
crowd for the battle of these un-
beaten teams and to permit the
fans time to watch Navy's only
varsity crew meet at home this
season, against Cornell and
Syracuse at pm. on the Severn
River.
These same lacrosse teams
were unbeaten a year ago when
they came together at College
Park. Navy won, 1877, and fin
ished with a clean record for
the national championship.
The difference this year is
that Maryland has won seven in
a row. instead of five at this
time in 1854, and is believed to
have assembled one of its
strongest attacking teams since
the war.
Navy, which lost heavily by
graduation, SO far has not
shown a lack of manpower. The

effort to offset the loss of horses

Garden State for the opening

is one scratch in today's six

is reduced to a five-horse field
it will be cancelled.
Joseph Cascarella, vice presi-

was being adopted to protect
the track from having fields with
only four or five horses.
If no event, however, will nine
races be run. The Maryland

as being opposed to such pro-
grams and Laurel would need its
permission to add an extra race.

Tennis Officials Consider
Stiff Penalty for Larsen

NEW YORK, April 26 (P.-
Tempestuous Art Larsen was
back in the tennis "doghouse"
today-suspended in Europe and
facing possible sterner penalties
from United States officials.
The roof fell in on the diminu-
tive southpaw from San Leandro,
Calf, after he repeatedly hit a
young ballboy in the face with a
tennis ball in Genoa, Italy, and
sent the lad weeping from the
court.
Renville McMann. vice presi-
dent of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association and chairman
of the International Play Com
mittee, dispatched the following
cable to Larsen:
Permission for further foreign
play withdrawn pending COM
plete air mail report regarding
Genoa ballboy incident"
The hassle occurred last Sat-
urday in a doubles match in
which Larsen and Enrique Morea
of Argentina defeated Hugh
Stewart of Pasadena, Calf. and
Sidney Schwartz of Brooklyn,
46. 6-3. Ga.
Slams Ball in Boys Face
At one stage, according to
tournament officials, Larsen be-
came upset over the overzealous-
ness of a 10-year-old ballboy.
Larsen repeatedly became
nervous when the boy couldn't
understand his requests to leave
the court and he slammed ball
at the youngster. The ball hit
the boy squarely in the face.
The lad began crying and fed
from the court.
Officials at Genoa said at the
time no action was planned
against Larsen. who yesterday
came back to play the singles
final, losing to Fausto Gardini
of Italy, Ga, 6-8. 60. 60.
The Italian Federation already
had announced it considered the
case closed and planned no
action. Larsen had said he didn't
intend to hit the boy, hunted
him up after the match and
bought him a soft drink and
gave him a dollar.
(In Genoa, a leading Italian
Tennis Federation official said
today he believes "a reprimand"
is justified, but added he did not
think the case warranted any
more serious action against
Larsen.
