.CIA Narrows
Hunt to6Sites

The Central Intelligence
Agency, working with Federal
planners. has narrowed down its
search for a new headquarters
site to six locations-two each
in the District, Maryland and
Virginia.
The possibilities: -,
District-A location, as yet
not pin-pointed, in Washington's
Southwest redevelopment area
between independence avenue
and Washington Channel. A To-
cation in the Federal area north
of Constitution avenue and west
of Seventeenth street NV,
probably near the proposed ex-
pressway in the vicinity OF
Twenty-fifth street NV.
Virginia-The so-called win
kler tract" in private owner
ship at the southwest corner of
Shirley highway and Seminary
road. Arlington Hall, a large
tract now in Federal ownership
and occupied by the Army on
Arlington boulevard near North
Glebe road.
MaryIand-A location on Fed
eral property at Suitland. The
So-called Casey tract" privately
owned in Montgomery County,
roughly between Jones Bridge
road, Rock Creek Park, Connec-
ticut avenue and the rear,of the
Bethesda Naval Hospital props
erty. /
These locations were disclosed
yesterday by Chairman Harland
Bartholomew of the National
Capital Planning Commission.
after a commission discussion
with CIA officials.
Mr.. Bartholomew said the six
possibilities" were named in a
preliminary report filed by a
joint committee representing
the commission and its sister
agency. the National Capital
Regional Planning Council.
The committee report was
approved by the commission.
which then asked the committee
to make further study and re-
port back next month on efforts

Deterioration
Asks Tax Probe

The Executive Committee of
the District Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations last night
called d'for a congressional investi-
cation of the Districts steadily
rising tax rates.
The move was taken, Fedora
ton spokesman said. to combat
recent widespread publicity that
local residents enjoy much lower
income levies than other cities of
comparable size. 1t was also
hoped, the spokesman declared,
the action would result in a
greater Federal lump-sum con-
tribution to the city.
Federation members have
waged a constant battle against
the steadily rising tax rate and
have fought to raise the annual
Federal payment, made by the
Government in lieu of a specified
tax rate for property and serviceS.
In letter to Representative
Mcmillan, chairman of the House
District Committee, the group
asked for his cooperation in the
investigation. A similar move
was taken about year ago.
At that time, the Federation
Endorsed the South Carolina
Democrats intentions to investi-
gate certain areas" of the Dis
trict tax structure.

GAO Charges
Called Unfair
BySunlmerfieId
Rops Agency Report
On Sick Leove Abuse
In lo Post Offices

Postmaster General Summer
field today branded as unfair
and unjust" reports that there
is widespread abuse of sick leave
by postal employees.
Tn House Civil Service Com
mittee recently released report
made at its request by the Gen.
eral Accounting Office, which
disclosed sick leave abuses in 19
postal Offices.
Mr.. Summerfield declared:
Postal employees as a whole are
loyal and conscientious, and cer-
tainly all of them should not be
censured for the abuse by a
minority of a benefit which for
many years has not been pro-
perly explained or strictly con-
trolled.
1.-The inferences of general
abuse which has been drawn
from the General Accounting
Office report are unjust and un-
fair to the great majority of en-
ployes. The GAO report does
not purport to cover all postal
employees, but deals with abuses
in limited areas. The report also
makes it clear that conditions
are not the same in all post
Offices.
There are literally thousands
of postal employees who have ac-
cumulated a thousand or more
hours of sick leave and many
who have taken no sick leave at
all in 10 or Is years of postal
service. We resent publicity
branding tens of thousands of
conscientious postal employees as
chiselers."
Mr.. Summerfield said the De-
partment is taking positive ac-
ton" to correct the abuse of
sick leave by a minority of en-
ployes "and shall continue and
intensity these efforts"

Plans Approved:
For Section Of
New FreeWdY
Four-Lone Highway
To Skirt Anucostiu
Golf Course Edge
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

The National Capital Plan.
ming Commission today approved
plans for part of Washington's
first real bypass road-an An-
costa freeway running between
the Jones Point and and East
Capitol street bridges.
The four-lane, limited access
generally will pass along the
eastern edge of recreation facii-
titles bordering the Anacostia
River requiring changes in the
Anacostia Golf Course layout
and other facilities. The present
river drive will remain and ac-
cess will be permitted from the
freeway.
J. Section Approved
At the eastern edge Of the
East Capitol Street Bridge the
freeway will link with the So
called Kenilworth Expressway,
providing continuous and di-
rect connection with the new
Baltimore Washington and
Washington Annapolis express
ways.
The Federal planners today
approved only that section from
the East Capitol Street Bridge
southwark to the Suitland Park
way, but indicated they would go
along with the other half after
more study.
Douglas Brinkley, District
highway planner, said his office
feels traffic will drop sharply on
Firth Sterling and use the new
freeway overpassing Suitland
parkway. But as further con-
cession, he agreed to eliminate
the grade intersection and per-
NIT cars moving north on Firth
Sterling only to make right turns
into Suitland parkway to serve
nearby residential areas.
The freeway will cost about
SIS million. City officials hope
Congress this year will step up
Federal aid to roads on the Fed
eral interstate highway system
and that the new road will be
placed in the system. II this
happens freeway construction
will be advanced to thex inn1e-
diate future. If not. 1t viii be
delayed until District funds are
available.
Contemplates Rebuilding
Mr.. Brinkley said the plan also
contemplates rebuilding the old
three lane Eleventh street t
bridge. Consultants say this will
| be needed by 1860 although no
tcity funds are now available.
In other actions, the planning
commission: "
/. Approved plans for a new
maximum security building at
st. Elizabeths Hospital, to cost
$7.5 million and provide for 378
patients.
o. Indorsed plans also for q
new two-story library at Gallau.
Diet College and for a new audi
torium and fine arts building at
the Howard University campus.
The Gallaudet library is the first
step in a long-range program to
replace a number of obsolete
buildings at the institution for
the deaf.
3. Indorsed either of two
methods of acquiring land near
the Capitol for a widening Of
independence avenue between
Third street S.W. and Second
street Sc.
The difficult land acquisition
location is the block bordering
the Capitol grounds. The PLAN
ners said they favored not tax.
ing Capitol land If property on
the south side of the avenue is

indicated they would recon-
mend some of the Capitol land
