Along with thousands of tour
lists, Senator Ellender. Demo-
crat, Of Louisiana took a proud
look at the dome of the Nations S
Capitol today and promised a
furious fight to prevent the
building from becoming a
museum.
"This fine old building is ade-
quate for the Congress for many
years to come" the fiery Louisi-
ana Senator exploded. "I'll battle
all efforts to abandon it as long
as I am here"
Senator BLENDERS outburst
was a delayed protest against
the recent comment by Senator
Bridges. Republican. of New
Hampshire that the present
Capitol, which was begun In
1893. is becoming rapidly obso-
lete."
Modern Capitol Urged
Senator Bridges told the Sem
ate that Congress now should be
buying some nearby land to con-
struct a new modern capitol"
where lawmakers could "func-
ton efficiently"
Conceding that he might stir
up a tempest, Senator Bridges
said the present building could
become "a historical monument,
such as Mt. Vernon is today" J"
He referred to the reconstructed
home of George Washington on
the bank of the Potomac.
Chairman Hayden. Democrat,
Of Arizona. of the Senate APP
preparations Committee agreed
with Senator Bridges.
Violently disagreeing, Senator
Ellender said he would fight the
proposal to the last ditch.
We've spent millions Of dol
lars raising and repairing the
roofs, installing air conditioning
and providing vast space in new
Senate and House Office build
ings." he said.

stand. provides that the private
builders would pay taxes only
at the rate Of property values
existing before the new buildings
are put up. Since the properties
would be tax-free after the Fed
eral government took title. this
provision would mean no net
tax increase to the city-afid
officials are expected to object.
The Zeckendorf forces have
not stated precisely how much
Federal Office space they would
like to have in the Southwest.
Some preliminary estimates,
however, call for about $500 erl-
ployes.
CHA Site Considered
A further factor is the possi-
bility that the Central Intelli-
gence Agency might find a suit
able Southwest site for the 10000
employees it wants to move into
a new $38 million headquarters.
If the CIA project should ma
terialize. space for a smaller
number of other Federal EN-
ployes probably would still be
sought.
Such questions as these must
be ironed out with the Planning
Commission. Eventually. they
will show up in a formal redevel-
opment plan for the entire
Southwest area. @~
The planners took major
stride toward resolving difficult
ties earlier this month, when
they gave tentative approval to
q highway plan that preserves
a 300-foot-wide Tenth street

dependence avenue to Washing
ton Channel.

Lid Is frightened

The District Alcoholic Bever-

sales of intoxicating drinks to

day.
Alan w. Payne, chairman,
revealed that in recent weeks
the board has conferred with
about a score of these licensed
beverage dealers to give them
friendly warnings"
The conferences, Mr.. Payne
said. were prompted by the in
creased number of complaints of
such sales that have been reg
istered with the ABC Board in
the last four or five months.
Promises Action
THE Board feels the city is
fortunate in that there are only
a score out Of several hundred
such licensed places that re-
putedly are causing trouble" Mr..
Payne said. Q
THE fact remains, however, /"
he added. that it is our inten-
ton to get this score or so either
in line or out of business.
THE time has come when we
must take them in hand and

BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE

Long-awaited public hearings
on a bill to raze tempos and au-
thorize new Federal office build
ings in Washington's Southwest
redevelopment area will be
opened Wednesday by a Senate
Public Works subcommittee.
The measure would empower
the General Services Administra-
ton to acquire Southwest sites
and enter contracts with private
builders for office space to be
leased by Federal agencies for a
specific period Of years. After
that period, title to the prop
critics would vest in the United
States.
For each new building put up
under the program. an equivalent
amount of tempo space would
be demolished, based upon the
number of employe occupants
involved.
The bill, already Endorsed by
GSA, is considered essential by
William Zeckendorf in order to
provide some Federal structures
in his proposed Southwest re-
development project.
No Major Opposition
Oficials foresee no major op-
position, although some modifi-
cations almost certainly will be
sought.
Aides of the Senate subcom-
mittee. headed by Senator SYM
ington, Democrat. Of Missouri,
said those invited to testify
include:
GSA, the District Commits
sioners, National Capital Plan
ming Commission, District Re-
development Land Agency and
Mr.. Zeckendorf's New York firm
of Webb & Knapp. Both Mr..
zeckendorf and w. E. Reynolds,
former Public Buildings Admin
istrator for many years and now
Webb & Knapp consultant, will
testify.
The bill was introduced in the
Senate by Chairman Chavez Of
the Public Works Committee.
Identical bills are pending before
the House Public Works Com
mittee, introduced by Chairman
Buckley and Representative
Auchincloss, Republican, of New
Jersey.
Separate Act Needed
The measures are patterned
after the new Federal lease-pur-
chase act, which similarly per-
mits agencies to acquire proper
ties throughout the country
through long-term pay-as-you-
60 leases. For q time, it was felt
the Southwest needs could be
met through the Federal act.
but officials decided to press in
stead for a separate program.

on an accusation that a second
establishment licensed to Wayne

another alcoholic beverage sale
to a minor girl. A hearing has
been held, but findings have not
been revealed.
And Tuesday the board is
scheduled to hear two cases in
volving Mr.. Wayne's third lic-
ensed place, "the Miniature" /"
1901 New York avenue NV.
These charges involve ABC Law
violations other than sales to
minors.
Most Are Downtown
Speaking on the general situa-
ton Of selling intoxicants to
minors, Mr.. Payne said the score
or so of troublemakers are con-
centrated in the downtown sec
ton. although scattered violators
have been noted in outlying Sec
tions Of the city.
1--WE have warned them against
sticking out their necks-these
people who cater to the younger
folks" the chairman said. I'VE
have pointed out that by inviting
the younger crowd to come into
their places they are taking the
risk of selling to those who may
be under-age.
"In running this risk, the bur-
den is on the licensees when 1t
comes to the law. Ignorance of
the age Of the customer is no de-
fense."

Rezoning Rush
Is Beating Plan

Fairfax County officials. ignor-
ing the recommendations of'pro-
fessional planners, have rezoned
more than 800 acres contrary to
the blueprint of the county's
$160,000 master plan. a study by
The Star shows.
The master plan. presented to
the county last November by
Francis Dodd McHugh, planning
consultant. so far represents only
the views of its drafters.
The planning commission is cir
culating copies of Mr.. McHugh's s
proposals through the county for
public study before adopting
them as an official zoning and
planning guide.
While it waits to act. the COM
mission and the Board of County
Supervisors are busy rezoning
property at breakneck speed. The
planners make recommendations
on rezoning requests, and the
supervisors take final action.
Residential Views Rejected
OF 81 rezoning applications
considered since the plan was
unveiled "a have been rezoned
contrary to the plans recommen-
dations. Action on Is other zon-
ing applications have been in
accordance with the McHugh
proposals, two have been bor-
derline cases and nine applica-
tions have been withdrawn.
The bulk of the rezoning ac-
tions have rejected the master
planners views on residential de-
velopment. Mr.. McHugh at
tempted to confine dense urban
type development to the EASTERN
most section of the county. rec
ommending lot minimums of
three and five acres for the So
called "open development" por-
ton of the county.
A total Of 766.70 acres has
been rezoned for lots smaller
than the master plan proposes.
These include some for suburban
development, where lot sizes
average 12,500 square feet, and
some for urban development,
with average lot sizes of 10000
square feet.
Opens Way to More
One of these rezonings in
volved rs acres on the north side
of Mount Vernon boulevard just
/ east of Little Hunting Creek,
changed from rural to suburban
residential. This broke the mas
ter plan recommendation for
half-acre lots throughout the
Fort Hunt area. and apparently
opens the door for more hun
dreds OF acres to come in for
suburban rezoning.
Commercial rezonings contrary
to- the master plan recommenda-
tions have involved 54.18 acres.
Runyon Vote Decides
The most controversial of the
commercial cases was the re-
zoning last week of two acres
owned by Supervisor c. B. Run
yon on Leesburg pike adjacent
to the George Mason High
School. Both the master plan
and the planning commission
recommended against CONNER
cial rezoning of Mr.. Runyon's S
property. It was granted, 4-3,
with Mr.. Runyon casting the de-
Gliding vote.
| Most coming requests are
acted on at the county's quar-
terly rezoning sessions, although
exceptions are made occasion
ally. The current rezoning ses-
sion, which began last wednes-
day, has two more meetings to
go - Wednesday Of this week
and May 4.
Several big projects are in
volved in pending applications
This week. the l25-acre Hybla
Valley application comes up for
urban. commercial and suburban
zoning. On May 4. one of the
biggest applications ever handled
by the county-915 acres Of the

Mr.. Campbell explained that in
November when days start getting
short, even very young children are
sometimes out on errands or re-
turning home after dark. 1T is es-
pecially important at these times
for children to be dressed in white
or light-colored clothing so that
they can be seen by motorists
should the children have to cross
the street or wander into the road

"An important new development
in this connection" the auto. club
official pointed out, "are the many
new articles of clothing that are
being offered made with 'reflec-
torized' yarn. These clothes appear
to light up when they are caught
in the glare of on-coming head
lights and in many instances they
will offer even greater protection
than white clothing
