Citizen Opposition
|mperiIs CIA Use
OF Langley Site
By George Beveridee

The possibility of bitter citi-
zen resistance to the proposed
$38 million Central Intelligence
Agency headquarters at Lang
ley, Va, loomed today, as Wash
ington's major regional plan
ming agency was called into
special session to consider the
proposal.
CIA officials scheduled a /
pm. meeting behind closed doors
with the National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council to talk
about the big new installation.
The Star learned that the
proposal. a closely guarded
secret until this week, also has
generated these other develop
ments:
/. Board members of the Nc
Lean Citizens Association will
meet tonight to decide whether
to call a mass meeting of resi-
dents on the proposal. One
leader said he would push for
strong citizen opposition"
Planners Raise Issues
2. The Northern Virginia Re-
gional Planning Commission,
after & secret meeting with CIA
officials. has passed a resolution
that Cd raises serious questions
about the adequacy of roads.
sewers and other facilities at
Langley and CD asks the Fed
eral Government to make con-
crete proposals for financial help
to build such facilities if the
project goes through.
3. Maryland members of the
Regional Planning Council served
notice they will urge a site in
Montgomery or Prince Georges
Counties be selected for the CIA
building, instead Of in Virginia.
Indications were that the Re-
gional Council would not take a
firm position today on the CIA
proposal. Several sources said
they feel considerable study is
needed first on highways, other
physical facilities and "the i'm
pact of such complete change
of development ideas" in the
Langley area.
These same considerations, it
was understood, were responsible
for the Northern Virginia plan
ming groups decision to take no
firm stand on the project.
Want Financing Answers
The Northern Virginia plan
ners repeatedly will tell the CIA
their group can neither indorse
nor disapprove of the project un-
til they, get answers as to how
public Improvements will be
financed. They are most worried
about roads and sewage facilities.
Meanwhile. Samuel E. Neel,
past president of the Mclean
Citizens Association, said the
CIA project would completely
change the character" of the
Langley area.
"It is primarily an area of
small estates, mainly of one to
five acres" he said. mine is a
little larger than most-I have
10 acres near the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads prop
erty CIA wants.
IT'S a unique residential area,
and it's never been planned for
anything else. There are no
commercial uses anywhere be-
tween Chain Bridge and Nc
Lean"
Mr.. Neel said he had been
told "unofficially" by CIA Of
ficials he could not identify that
the agency docs not intend to
put the installation in an area
where 1t is not desired by resi-
dents"

Show today appeared on its. way
to becoming the largest Of all.

List of Flower Show Winners. Poee C-l8
~~~~~----->-----
spectators had made the rounds
Of the scores of displays of flow
ers and plants, occupying vir-
tually all of the floor space Of
the National Guard Armory.
Judging of dozens more of
flower arrangements was re-
sumed today. The show will
run through next Wednesday.
Among the prizes awarded to-
day were two silver cups do
mated by woodward & Lothrop.
These were won, for the best
garden club entries in the flower
arrangement classes. by Mrs. AL
bert G. Goergens, of the Bev-
erly Hills Garden Club, and
Mrs. Francis Turner of the Mid
dleburg (Va.) Garden Club.
Mrs. Richard M. Nixon, wife
Of the Vice President, officially
opened the show not long after
pre-show judging for winners of
five trophies offered by The Star
had been held.
Smartly clad in a small pow
der blue hat and dark suit, Mrs.
Nixon shipped the ceremonial
ribbon to the tune of a brass
band and the applause of hum
dreds of flower and garden
fanciers.
Crowds Pour In
Immediately afterward, the
crowds poured into the huge
Armory and continued to grow
through the afternoon and eve
ming. 1t was the biggest open
ng-day attendance of all five
shows.
Mrs. Nixon spent nearly an
hour touring the scores of ex-
hibits under escort of Mrs,
Frederick w. Lang, garden clubs
chairman, and Bertrand G. Nc
Ginniss, general chairman of the
show.
"It's dazzling" Mrs. Nixon ex-
claimed at one point.
She said she particularly ad-
mired the flower arrangement
section of the show.
II guess I like flower arrange
ments because I'm not very good
at it" she explained. I'm really
better with flower gardens, and
believe l actually have a green
thumb"
The only apparent hitch to the
show was the development of
cracks in the huge 25-jet Gen.
trail pool Of the show. The show
management said the cracks, ap-

parently caused by the vibration
Of heavy trucks which had been
rolling across the Armory floor,
will be fixed by opening time to-
day and that the fountains
should be going full blast by
that time.
Bewildering Variety
Another less serious problem
arose when the management
found that a dozen baby ducks
especially purchased for the
show had insufficient feathers to
keep them from sinking when
they were placed in one of the
big display pools. None of the
ducklingS drowned.
The variety of the show ex-
hibits proved almost bewilder-
ing.
The biggest accumulations of
spectators were noted at such
displays as the 100000 orchid
layout. These specimens ranged
from such jaw-breaking names
as odontoglossum pulchellum to
an ostensibly Irish orchid, epi-
dendrum O'Brienianum.
An airline company composed
what it called an orchid tree
dozens of big lavender and white
blossoms stuck in a cone-shaped
heap of Spanish moss. A tag de-
clared this tree "symbolized the
number of exotic and romantic
countries served" by the airline.
One whimsical arrangement con-
sisted of orchids and several
clusters of grapes.
In front of the lush tropical
garden section an attendant re-
mained constantly on duty close
to the shows 3-foot-long alliga-
tor, Boris, to make sure no little

floor should he wish to join
spectators.
Japanese Exhibit Draws

These were set up by Mrs.

Embassy, and Mrs. Taichiro
Matsuo. wife of one of the en-
bassy counsellors.

Council Seeks
Major Cuts in
DC. Services
Hopes to Ward Off
Heavy Deficits or
Tax Increases

Possibility Of major cuts in
District services to ward of
heavy potential deficits or tax
increases was explored today by
the Citizens Advisory Council.
Council members questions
ranged from the chance of OBJ
tanning larger Federal payments
to the District budget, to the
advisability of abandoning the
city's recently adopted urban
renewal program.
The question came as District
fiscal officials briefed the nine
member council on the city's
financial position at its regular
biweekly meeting.
Finance Ofhcer James L. Mar
tin warned the council that
something of a major nature
has got to be done" to clear up
what he said may be a shock
ing picture"
Added So Million Needed
Schuyler Lowe, director Of
general administration, declared
the city must get additional
revenue totaling a minimum of
SO million.

he declared.
Budget Officer Walter Fowler
interjected. That's a minimum.
If you want to be sensible you
had better look for $40 million
or $11 million"
Urging the closing Of major
loophholes in District tax laws.
Mr.. Martin insisted, From now
on there's going to be violent
opposition to any further tax
raises from some group or an
other"
Councilman Richard P. Dunn
asked, "Is there no chance of
reducing the cost of operation
without reducing service?".
"Pyramiding Operation"
Mr.. Lowe explained that every
year leach department gets a
little more" in employees and
money in what he called a "con-
stantly pyramiding operation"
In response to questioning by
Mr.. Dunn. Mr.. Lowe said getting
a larger Federal contribution to
the District budget required ~
massive effort"
Councilman William j. Smith
asked about money to be spent
in fiscal 1857 and 1858 under
the city's recently adopted urban
renewal program.
There is no Ofnc1al eStlmate,
Mr.. Lowe replied. The consult
ants who drafted it, he said,
estimated it would cost $500, 900
for additional housing and build
ing inspectors. However, Mr..
Lowe said, these would be hired
in small numbers, thus reaching
the total slowly.
Mr.. Smith persisted, asking,
How could we reduce the opera
ton? Has any consideration
been given to discontinuing
urban renewal in the face of
such deficits?"
MIR. Lowe said no, that it was
regarded as a good economic
investment" to upgrade the city
through a general face lifting.

US. Engineers Use 'Freeze-Back' to
Combat Permafrost at Radar Sites

Along the Alaskan coast and in
the interior where the Alaska Dis
trict Corps Of Engineers is super
vising construction of military in
stallations at isolated sites for the
US. Air Force, contractors are
working round the clock to beat
the early arctic freeze-in.
Progress reports from our
project engineers who are super
vising the jobs show we are set
ting records in building the de-
tense network" said Col. Earl Y.
Farrell, Alaska District Engineer.
The Unalakleet installation is
on Bering Sea, 100 miles east of
Nome. Sam Bergersen Of Tacoma,
Wash, has the contract at $3,O87,-
O46. Observation-Disclosures tower
steel has been unloaded from
barges. Also prefab buildings,
lumber and plumbing supplies,
heavy equipment and machinery,
and the jobsite is established.
Initial landings for the Bethel
military installation did not arrive
until early August. That contract
for $4,053,457 was awarded to
Morrison-Knudsen, who also were
low bidders on the Middleton in
stallation.
Situated on KuSkokWim Bay on
the southwestern Alaskan coast,
Bethel lies on a vast tundra flat.
This is "the land of lakes''-hun-

of permafrost, where the soil I'M

In Bethel and Kotzebue, where
the permafrost thaws shallowly

removed, the problem of stable

Now what's the moral of these
casualty lists? For me it's simply
this: there's not enough bullion
at Fort Knox to entice me into
continuing at my past clip.
I've been down in Florida early
this winter. soaking up some sun
shine and common sense. For
seven long years now they've
been calling me Mr.. Television.
I've had the TV-jeebies in its
most virulent form. I've planned,
directed, produced, poured my
heart into, rolicked, lived and
died through 24O-odd shows.
Right from the beginning we
carved a niche for ourselves
among the Top Ten. At last
count we were still slugging it out
toe-to-toe with all challengers.
In other words I d0n't think
it's sour grapes from an old
Top Banana to say that ! can
still write my own ticket for
my future. Well. I'm writing it
here and now: the days when I
would push and pound myself
through 80 frantic programs a
year or even my more recent
90 are over. I have been a
guinea pig for the television in
dustry. l have known every thrill.

ness can bestow on a performer.
