CamaIier Calls
For Home Rule
Also Quotes Truman
On Action for D. c.

District Commissioner Renah
r. Camalier keynoted demands
for home rule here today in a
rally sponsored by the Wash
ington Home Rule Committee
and the League of Women Voters
at the Monument Grounds.
AS principal speaker at the
rally which followed a home
rule caravan" through the
downtown streets. Mr.. Camalier
demanded, who are so pewer-
full that they should arrogate to
themselves the denial of the in
herent American right of suf-
frage?"
He mentioned that he met
former President and Mrs. Tru-
man on their arrival at Union
Station this morning for the
Rayburn testimonial dinner to-
night.
The Commissioner said Mr.
Truman regretted he could not
attend the home rule rally but
that he added with his usual
emphasis, The people of the
District ought to have suffrage,
We have carried the pledge in
the Democratic platform and we
will carry it again and again I'M
til that pledge has been fulfilled
This have said hundred times
and, Camalier, I say it again,
You know my feelings for the
people
The Commissioner said that
talking with the former Pref-
dent, who appointed him to his
soon to-expire post, left two
thoughts in his mind.
One, Mr.. Camalier said, was
that the voteless situation of
District residents is a situation
as tyrannical as it was when the
Colonials threw tea into Boston
Harbor.
The other, he added. was that
"the commission form of Gov
eminent in the District Of Co.
lumbia does not actually exist
because it is the voice of Con-
gress, the White House. the
Budget Bureau. the Army. the
Navy and the Coast Guard
among others. that controls the
administration of local affairs.

and Democracy Should Begin
at Home"
Representatives Of the 80
groups bore similar placards in
the parade.
Balloons for Governors
At a rally later on the Mon
unent Grounds, 48 giant bal
looms were to be released. Each
balloon bore a note to a State
Governor, asking his support
in the battle for a vote for
Washington residents.
The groups also presented pc
titions to representatives of Con-
greSs, asking their support.
Mrs. Hartman told reporters
that when she came here in
1918 from New York as an ap-
pointee to the Federal Indus
trial Relations Commission. she
was amazed" to learn that
men couldn't vote here.

CRASHES ON PARKWAY
Runaway Nike Burns
Fort Meade Soldier

Hebert said testimony yesterday
showed that Century was the
"only one of three companies"
making launchers for the Navy
that failed to produce"
5000 Rejects Reported
Rear Admiral Lloyd Harrison,
assistant chief of the Nays
Bureau of Aeronautics. testified
that 5000 out of 10000 launch
ers produced by Century had
been rejected. In firing tests,
he said. samples disintegrated
so completely they were a "haz-
ard to planes.
The papier-mache launchers,
attached to the wings of planes.
are designed to be jettisoned
after firing a cluster of seven
battle-ground missiles.
Admiral Harrison said tests
showed also 28.8 per cent of the
$1,000 launchers delivered by
Century failed to fire properly.
He added that the Navy ac-
cepted 10000 launchers each,
under the same 1858 contract,
from the Radiant Manufacture
ing Co. of Chicago and the Gin
cinnati Industrial Finishing Co.
Air Force Contract
After the Navy's test, Mr.. He
bert said in an interview, the
Century Co. obtained a nego-
tiated contract from the Air
Force in October. 1854. for 100.-
900 similar launchers at 1852
apiece although, he added, 1.-The
Navy kept a million miles away
from Century"
In competitive bidding the
Navy awarded the Radiant Co.
an order for $4,000 launchers at
1886 each. Century was an
unsuccessful bidder.

The Army today was trying to
learn whether an accident or
mechanical defects caused a
Nike guided missile to go astray
yesterday afternoon and land in
the middle of the Baltimore
Washington Parkway.
The ground-to-air anti-air-
craft weapon. launched from
Fort Meade, Md, landed near
Barboursville, about mile south
of the entrance to the fort.
Several hours after the Incl
dent, the Pentagon disclosed
that a soldier suffered minor
burns as the Nike took off. He
was identified as Sergt. t1/c)
Stanley c. Kozak, of Battery c,
36th Antiaircraft Artillery Bat
talon. A crew member, Sergt.
Kozak was standing aoout Z
feet from the Nike when it went
off. The soldier was given first
aid and then admitted to the
hospital for observation.
Detonated in Air
A spokesman at Fort Meade
said that the Nike carried an
explosive and was detonated in
the air for safety reasons.
An investigation board is seek
ing the cause of the incident.
Another spokesman said that
while no definite cause has as
yet been uncovered. there are
possibilities" In addition, repre-
sentatives OF the Douglas Air
craft Corp. and the Western
Electric Co., who are concerned
in the manufacture Of the Nike.
are probing. the possibility of
electronic malfunctioning.
Army officials said it was
launched from a temporary
launching platform during a
routine practice alert by the 10Th
Antiaircraft Artillery Group of
the End Antiaircraft Regional
Command.
Park Police Pvt. Charles r.
Lamon. jr.. witnessed the Nike
fall and Shatter. He said it sent
a dense cloud of yellow smoke
about 100 yards into the air.
No Cars Near
Luckily, no automobiles were
passing the scene at the time.
and there were no reports of in
juries at the explosion point.
Ordnance personnel, clad in
white protective suits, removed
the fragments, first carefully
flushing them with water. The
back of the truck into which
they were loaded also was
flushed.
The missile landed in the park
way between the northbound
and southbound roadways. Frag-
ments which flew onto the north
bound road gouged holes in the
pavement, causing that lane to
be closed temporarily to traffic.
The long, slender Nike is s a
weapon developed to combat air
attacks. 1t is guided by radio.
The Army said that either
IAN accident or mechanical de-
fects" caused 1t to go astray.
Fort Meade was one of the
first Nike batteries to be in
stalled in the country.

Russia Will Build
Cruising Missile,
ChidIuw Predicts

LOS ANGELES. April Is ~
Russia within the next 10 years
may have 8,000-to-16, mile
an-hour missiles capable of
reaching any target in the
United States. the head of the
Continental Air Defense Com
mand says.
Unnamed bombers flying two
to three times the speed of sound
also are envisioned by Gen. Ben
jamin w. Chidlaw, here from his
command post in Colorado
Springs, Colo. 4
He told department heads Of
the Hughes Aircraft Co. last
night: % - I
Even now you are only on the
doorstep of new defensive missile
demands which will put into
yesterday. those projectile and
fire control fnechanisms so re-
Gently proven and in use now.
I'VE must not only equal but
surpass at every point those inn
provements we believe within his
enemy reach--more speed,
more punch, more power. more
accuracy. more deterrent de-
structiveness.
I'm the offing-and not too far
away either-is the cruising mis-
sile, a variety of unnamed
bomber with speeds in the vi
cinity of two to three times the
speed of sound.
Before the end of this same
decade, we are probably going to
be well into the ballistic missile
era, an intercontinental weapon
which is within the capability of
the Soviet Union by drawing on
the brains OF its captured scien-
lists and their proteges.
This weapon can be figured
to approach the mach 10 to
mach 20 speed range Cor 5000
to 10000 miles an hour)-in
other words. from Soviet launch
ing sites not much more than 80
minutes to any target in our
country"

.GSA Indorses
Bills 10 Rae
S.W. Tempos
Separate Program
Favored to Get
New Buildings

The General Services Admin
istration has Endorsed bills de-
signed to rae tempos and
authorize new Federal office
buildings in the Southwest
Washington redevelopment area.
The Endorsement indicates that
Federal officials will favor setting
up a separate program to get
new buildings in the Southwest,
rather than to try to get them
through amendments to the
Nationwide LeaSe-Purchase Act.
The question of which approach
would be taken has been up in
the air for months. In the past,
GSA officials indicated they
favored working through the
Nation wide act.
The bills, introduced by Rep
resentative Auchincloss, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, Chairman
Buckley of the House Public
Works Committee and Chairman
Chavez of the Senate Public
Works Committee, would let GSA
lease new Office space and &C
quire title to the buildings after
expiration of the lease periods.
GSA's favorable report on the
measures has gone to the Budget
Bureau for clearance, and is
expected to be sent soon to
Capitol Hill.
Zeckendorf Seeks Legislation
William Zeckendorf, the New
York real estate man who wants
to conduct the big Southwest
rebuilding program, contends
some such legislation is essential
to permit new Federal Office
space in the area. Under the
legislation an equivalent amount
of temporary building space
would be demolished for each
new building authorized.
Just what tempos would be
demolished first has not been
determined. The general think
ing, however. is that the first to
go should be tempos lining the
Mall near the Lincoln Memorial.
One strong possibility is the
Central Intelligence Agency
providing it could find a salts
factory site in the southwest. The
CHA now occupies a large amount
Of tempo space.
Possible Sites Studied
Intensive studies of a number
of possible CHA sites in the south
west are under way, it was
learned. At the moment. how
ever, the studies are of such q
preliminary nature that no con-
illusions have been reached.
It is known that CHA had been
interested in a location adjoin-
ing Fort McNair on the water
front.
Other locations under study
are in the area bordering the
300-foot-wide South Mall"
which is proposed in the Zeck-
endorf plan and the wholesale
market area near Eleventh street
and the waterfront also has been
mentioned.

Bridges Pushes
New Capitol
Funds Fight
Senator Will Seek
Financing Of Plons
For Big Project

Senator Bridges, Republican,
OF New Hampshire. decided today
to press Immediately for funds
for planning a new national
Capitol. to replace the building
he calls outmoded.
AS ranking Republican Of the
Appropriations Committee. Sen
ator Bridges said he would take
up the topic as part of the legis-
lative appropriation bill-the one
that carries money for operation
of Congress.
Senator Bridges conceded his
dream of a modern Capitol might
have "long-range" aspects, but
at least one colleague. Chair
man Hayden, agreed a fund for
planning the project and select
ing a site should be made a part
of the bill.
The modern Capitol idea was
advanced by Senator Bridges
yesterday. He predicted Con-
gress in time would build itself
a new home and establish the
present edifice as a National
Shrine.
The thought isn't brand-new.
Eight years ago, when Senator
Bridges was the chairman, the
committee talked it over as an
extreme" possibility for reliev-
ing the congestion in Congress.
The committee also considered
at that time addition of another
wing on the east side of the
Capitol to conform with the
Senate and House wings. as was
originally planned. Instead. 1t
was decided to build a new
Senate Office building. which now
is in early stages of construction
east of the original Senate Office
building.
The new move for an ~up-to-
date Capitol began yesterday
when Senator Bridges COM
mented that the half-square
purchased for the new Senate
Office building was not half
enough ground. A suggestion
was made that Congress buy
the remainder of the square. but
some members Immediately OBJ
jected.
