much and to shake more hands.
Others urge me to give EN- hell.
l think I'll do worse, I'll give
EN- the truth.
And one Of the truths is that
there may be such a thing as
wanting TO be President too
badly. And that may be one OF
the reasons why none of Sem
ator Kefauver's colleagues in the
Senate have Endorsed him and
so few OF the party's leaders
around the country.
In 1913 when the Senate
passed the displaced persons bill
and again in 1852 when it over
rode President Humans veto of
the McCarran-Wa Immigra-
ton Act, Senator Kefauver was
absent.
Cites Other Absences
He was absent when the SEN
ate voted on the troops-to-E u-
rope resolution in 1852 and again
in 1854 when the Senate voted
on the Kennedy amendment to
halt the new look reduction in
our defense strength.
when the reciprocal trade
bills were passed in l948, 1919
1851 and 1854, Senator Kefauver
was absent each time.
when public housing was an
issue IN l948 and 1851 and 1854
the Senator was absent, and
when the raising of postal rates
was being considered in 1854
and when the Atomic Energy
Act of 1854, with all its Dixon
Yates and public power implica-
tons, was passed by the Senate
Last month, when the Senate
debated and voted on the agri-
culture bill amendmet Offering
higher parity for small farmers
Senator Kefauver was absent
from the Senate and did not
vote.
Stand on Indignation
Mr.. Stevenson reiterated hi,

is the law of the land" anc
that he would only ask that law
abiding citizens comply with il
in a lawful manner and as the
courts find reasonable ano
feasible.
"Desegregation cannot be done
by guns and bayonets. 1t can
not be done overnight"
After his bar talk Mr.. Steven
son planned to spend the re-
mainder Of the day shaking
hands and chatting on street
corners.
Earlier at his Kingsland Ca
vacation site he had said that il
the South should walk out this
year the effectiveness Of the
Democratic Party might be
destroyed for a long time
IF the South left the Demo.

tomorrow Mr.. Hammarskjold
had summoned Gen. Burns to a
conference in Rome as a pre-
liminary to his mission seeking a
solution to the Middle East
crisis.
Gen. Burns issued an urgent
appeal for a cease-fire when the

day to SO and said four
Egyptian soldiers were killed.
He charged the Israelis with
a "premeditated attack on the
civilian population He said
one Egyptian soldier was killed

Both Blame Other
Both Egypt and Israel blamed
the other for the new outbreak.
The Israelis sent a message to
the chairman Of the mixed
armistice commission saying they
had issued cease-f1re orders in
compliance with your personal
request.
IF Egypt again breaks the
cease-f1re arrangement, the fire
will be returned" the message

FILA 10 Seize
Hunting Towers
Action Is Based
On Cost Demand
BY FRANCIS p. DOUGLAS

The Federal Housing Admin
iStration started action today to
take control of the big Hunting
Towers Apartments in Alexan-
dria.
The action is based on the al
legged failure of the three cor
porations controlling the apart
ments TO furnish building cost
information requested nearly two
years ago.
Norman P. Mason. FILA COM
missioner, sent letters to the
president of the corporations di-
recting that meeting of pre-
ferred stockholders be called. As
holder of all the preferred stock
FILA intends to elect new direc.
tors, Mr.. Mason said.
The apartment property, which
has 1872 units. is on the Potomac
River and Hunting Creek. The
apartments were built with the
proceeds of three FILA insured
mortgages amounting to $780,.
600.
FILA listed the officers OF the
three corporations as John Bar

No WindfaII Charge
No charge is made that
"windfall' profits were realized
in putting up the big project
The term is applied when con-
struction costs amounted to less
than the sum obtained on Gov
ernment-insured mortgages
An FILA official said one rea-
son for asking builders to supply
cost information is to determine
whether there were windfall
profits and if such profits might
have been distributed contrary
to the provisions of the articles
OF Incorporation.
Mr.. Phillips. asked for a state
ment about the FILA action. said
Frankly, l don't know a thing
about it He said he resigned
as president last year. He also
said that Mr.. Connolly owned
all the stock and represented
him" Mr., Connolly was reported
to be in Florida.
Other Actions Planned
Mr.. Mason said this is the
first OF a series of actions to be
started against apartment prof.
ects which fail to file cost in
formation. He said that FHA's
right to take over control in
such cases was established by
the United States Courts OF APP
peals in Philadelphia last De-
cember.
After that court decision Rob-
ert B. Wolf, FILA general coun-
sci, made final requests for cost
information to approximately
$500 corporations which had
failed to comply with earlier
requests. Mr.. Mason said re-
sponses to these requests reduced
to fewer than $50 the number
still failing to supply the data
He added:

in the fourth inning today as
the Phillies stopped the Cardi-

Reliefer Bob Miller turned
back a Redbird rally in the ninth
inning by forcing Ken Boyer to
hit into a game-ending double
play with the bases loaded.
With two out in the fourth,
the Phillies picked up all six runs
as Herm Wehmeier lost his con-

an infield roller. He walked four
straight men, including Pitcher
Stu Miller, to force in two runs.
Dick Littlefield then took over
on the mound for the Cardinals
but was greeted by Ashburn's
tnree-run double to right-center
and Mary Blaylock's double to
the same spot.
Littlefield and Wehmeier came
to the Cardinals in a trade that
sent Stu Miller, Harvey Haddix

Stu Miller. a slow-curve spe-
