TO MISS DOWNEY, Lees
memory CLOVIS like a votive
candle. And she downright
deplores the way the public
gets the idea Lee kept slaves
down in those dank holes in
the lover levels of their quar-
ters behind the mansion.
The quarters were filed in
with soil before the war, she
says. Then the Federal Gov
eminent got hold Of the prop
erty and emptied the rooms
and fixed them up. Now tour
lists peek into them and cannot
help but have the impression
an occupant would be better
off in a sewer,
BY congressional order, the
place is officially known as
CustiS-Lee Mansion.
Lee married the only child
Of the Arlington Gusts family
and eventually became master
Of the mansion. His father
in-law was George Washing
ton Parke Gusts, who built it,
calling it Arlington House.
George Washington etc, etc,
was the foster son of the
George Washington.
GUSTS rather novel theories
on art remain imbedded in the
plaster, where he did some
muralS of the hunt.
A garden north of the house
now features flowers. Miss
Downey said it originally was
a truck garden for the
kitchen, and ought to be
again.
The missing mantel should
be in the mansions large din
ing room, she said. 1t was a
match for the two in the
drawing room.
The substitute now in the
dining room is a bit of a
mess If anyone knows where
the missing specimen is, the
mansion historians would be
delighted to hear.

A number of cheese companies
which received part of an alleged
S2.5 million windfall from the
Department of Agriculture today
were under directions to make
refunds to the Government
within a week or face legal
alton.
Attorney General Brownell late
yesterday concurred with Con-
troller General Campbell that
the payments to the firms were
unauthorized"
Chairman Fountain of a House
Government Operations subcom-
mittee issued this statement after
a 30-minute conference with Mr.
Brownell:
"I was advised that shortly
before our meeting telegram:
were sent to number of com.
panies stating that payment,
made to them by the Depart.
ment of Agriculture were
unauthorized and making de.
mands of them for refunds.
Il was also advised by the At.
torney General that if the com.
panies dc not tender a refunt
within one week. suits would b,
instituted Immediately for tn,
purpose of recovering such sums.
Earlier Secretary Of Agricul'
ture Benson said he had been ad
vised by Mr.. Brownell that on,
or more suits would be fled IL

to progress and rapid change,
the flve-year program is not the
ultimate solution to the Nation S
aviation problems.
THE legitimate civil and mill
tary demands on CAA will not
abate short of having aircraft
flying safely close together and
landing in rapid order regard
less of weather condition" Mr..
Lowen said.
The five-year program pro-
poses putting short range or sur
veillance-type radar into A ad-
iditional airports. and long-range
.radar with direct pilot-controller
communications into "a addi-
tional air route traffic control
.centers. 1t also proposes install
lation of new device, known as
the radar beacon, at 1874 loca-
tions. and establishment of 20
surface detection equipment
radars to control ground move
ments at congested airport ter
minals.
The CAA proposed that the
facilities be placed to provide
high-altitude control of all air
space where both civil and mill
tary jet aircraft operate. The
Nationwide coyerage Of airways
with navigation aids also would
be extended down to as low as
700 feet for the benefit Of light
planes and business and corpo-
ration aircraft.

Assessing Atomic Energy Pace

consumer and investor-to
exempt from its surveillance
groups Of companies that COM
bined to produce atomic energy.
The criticism heaped upon
the Potter-Pastore bill in pub
lie hearings obviously has had
an effect on its sponsors. For.
during the Senate debate on
atomic energy development,
Senator Charles E. Potter,
Republican of Michigan, said
he is convinced there will be
many notifications in the bill,
while Senator John o. Pastore,
Democrat of Rhode Island, said
i do want to admit that as
of this moment the bill goes a
bit too far"
Illustrative of the sweeping
concessions being sought by
private enterprise as the price
of getting into the atomic
power program, Senator Gore
cited the testimony before the
Interstate Commerce Commit
tee a few days ago of Walker
Cisler. president of Detroit
Edison, who heads a group of
diversified companies, includ-
ing several other electric util-
tiles, which are negotiating
with the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
He said bluntly that his
group would not cooperate in
the program except on three
conditions - o. exemption
from the Public Utility Hold
ing Company Act: 90 assump-
ton of all insurance risks by
the Government; 80 exemp-
ton of all capital expenditures
from income tax as if they
were charitable contributions.
This provoked from the Ten
neSsee Senator the observation
that what it would really
amount to is a project publicly
financed but privately owned"
or, as he also put it. a project
financed by the taxpayer with
the benefits going to the pri-
vate companies.
This recalls the early days
of our defense program .or
the Second World War, when
big business and industry went
on a Shutdown strike" and re-
fused to. convert plants for war
production until they got spe-
cial tax and renegotiation
concessions from the Govern
ment. 1t was a holdup that
worked. 1t may work again in
the present atmosphere of
Washington.

u. S. Demands Refund
In "a Cheese Windfo|I'

Mr.. Fountains subcommittee
has sharply criticized the deal,
and the General Accounting Of
flee has upheld it.
In the spilng OF 1854 the Ag-
riculture Department announced
a reduction in price supports on
dairy products from 80 per cent
of parity to rs per cent. Before
the new supports became effec-
tive. the Government bought
about So million pounds Of cheese
at 81 cents a pound. A few
weeks later. after the support
reduction. the Government re-
sold the cheese to its former
owners at about "a cents a pound
Since the cheese never left
the warehouses where it wa:
stored. this actually was a paper
transaction" The Government
thus sold the cheese for about
SIS million less than it paid
for it.
Mr.. Benson has said he does
not think there was anything
illegal in the transaction.
Assistant Secretary Of Agri-
culture True d. Morse said last
August that the transaction wa.
in the best interest of TIT
American farmer He asserted
that 1t stabilized the price fol
American dairymen during {
period Of price support adjust
ment. Critics, on the other hand
say the deal was in the bes
interests Of q few cheese com
Ipanies.
