The Justice Department asked
Congress today to authorize sale
of most of the 300-acre National
Training School for Boys tract
on Bladensburg road NE. and
use of the sale proceeds to A.
nance construction of a new in
stitution somewhere else in the
country.
The request came in a bill and
letters from Attorney General
Brownell to Vice President Nixon
and House Speaker Rayburn.
The bill would transfer part of
the site to the National Park
Service for right-of-way for the
long proposed Fort Drive road
around the city.
The move would kill efforts of
the Washington Board Of Trade
to acquire the big tract as the
eventual site of a giant athletic
stadium. 1t also poses a major
headache for District officials
who would have to find new
institution for District delin-
'quents now at the school.

He did not identify the new
site but indicated strongly it will

unfit for such an institution.

so favorably that orders can be

than had been originally planned.
This would bring to 202 the

had expected to place orders for

told the subcommittee yesterday
that B-52 production schedules,
although currently far below
original expectations, have been
stepped up to 20 month. He
predicted that there would be no
difficulty in meeting that goal in
