DR.. White is leading a party

Brink Policy
On Balloons

MOSCOW, Feb. 8, tP.-The
Soviet Union today accused the
United States of carrying out a
brink of war" policy in the re-
lease of weather balloons over
Russian air space.
In a full-scale news confer
ence at the Spiridonovka Palace,
Foreign Ministry Press Chief
Leonid nyichev declared that
the balloons carried apparatus
which did not take meteoro-
logical data but was for aerial
reconnaissance.
He declared the balloons con-
stituted menace to air navi-

"All such attempts by Ameri-
can military organs are an at
tempt to conduct a policy of
to the brink of war which has
been condemned by peoples"
Refers to Dulles Article
The Soviet press chief was
referring to a statement at
tributed to United States Sec
rotary Of State Dulles in a Life
Magazine article.
MIR. IIychev briefly reviewed
Soviet protests but did not men
ton the fact that the United
States handed its answer to the
Soviets' latest protest yesterday.
tThe United States, re-
spending to the Soviet pro-
test, yesterday ordered a halt
to the launching of United
States weather balloons from
West Germany and Turkey.
Balloons there will be grounded
pending a study of whether
they have been flying over
Russia.
Before taking this action
the United States Govern
ment promised in a concilia-
tory note to keep the balloons
from flying over Soviet ter
ritory. 1t also offered to tell
the Russians about the balloon
programs safety features. In
addition, the note sought to
enlist Soviet CO = operation,
asking the Russians to return
any scientific instruments the
balloons might have para
chuted to Soviet soil.)

the United States" Mr.. Ilyichev
said. Look at them if you

Committee said after the hear
ing that 1t will be next week, at
the earliest, before action is
taken on the Moncure bill.
Comes to the Point
Mr.. Stockard was quick to get
to the crux of the issue that ap-
parently prompted Mr.. Mon
cure to move to abolish the
elected school board in Airing
ton. He had this to say about
the boards announcement Of
January 10 that it intends to
integrate some county schools,
providing State law allows;
1T is clear that we in Airing
ton have misunderstood what
the State had in its mind and
that the State may have mis-
understood what we have done.
we also feel sure that any
action which would develop fur
ther misunderstanding would
not be in the best interest OF

Chief criticism of the school
boards Indignation policy an
nouncement centers on the claim
that it violates a fundamental
principle of the Gray Commits
sion program which advocates
say was designed to avoid forced
mixing of the races in class
rooms. Under the Gray plan
the initiative to integrate would
be left to parents but some have
interpreted the Arlington action
as the school board taking the
initiative.

Refuge
Being Sought
For Congress

Steps have been taken looking
toward establishing a center
away from Washington to which
Congress can repair in case OF
imminent attack on the Capital.
The Supreme Court likewise
has such a project under con-
sideration.
Speaker Rayburn confirmed
today that a report on possible
relocation centers for Congress
has been received from the Of
flee of Defense Mobilization. But
he said nothing has been done
about it as yet.
Relocation centers have al
ready been established for ex-
ecutive agencies which must OPP
crate to maintain the continuity
of the Government. A place
distant from Washington has
also been set up to which the
President can go. But Congress
up to now has taken no part in
such planning.
Mr.. Rayburn said the report
Of the ODM has been received by
a congressional committee con-
sidering the project. 1t was
learned the committee consists
of the leadership of Congress;
the Speaker and the Minority
Leader OF the House and the
Majority leaders of the Senate.
1t Gen. Willard S. Paul, as
sistart to the director of the
ODM, said several sites had been
suggested to Congress at the re-
quest of the legislative body.
He also said Chief Justice
Warren had called on ODM for
a similar survey for a relocation
site for the Supreme Court.
Harold B. Wiley, clerk of the
court. said several places had
been suggested. He said the court
has the project under consider
alton but that no action has been
taken.

A return to no down-payment
terms for CT home loans and i'm
mediate easing of other Federal
restraints on home buying credit
were recommended today by a
House subcommittee.
It denounced as excessive and
outrageous the premiums charged
by some commercial lenders to
make loans on low interest gov
ernment-insured home mort
cages.
The House Banking Subcom-
mittee report foresaw a sharp
slump in home building unless
curbs imposed last July 80 are
rescinded and other credit re-
straints relaxed.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Rains, Democrat
of Alabama, cited reports that
applications for Federal Hous-
ing Administration insurance on
small homes last November were
down 40 per cent from Novem-
Der. 1854.
For the same period. it said,
Veterans Administration home
appraisal requests were down So

Sharp Decline Feared
These are omens which can
not be passed over lightly. the
subcommittee said.
Unless mortgage conditions
show an unexpected rapid i'm
provement. a sharp decline in
housing starts and real estate
activity is indicated in the early
months of 1856, and such a de-
cline could have a serious effect

industry but on the entire

.SenateFights
To Concentrate Fire
On II Key Seats
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON
Star StAf Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH. Feb. 9.-AFL-
CLIO political leaders decided
tentatively today to concentrate
efforts in this years election
campaign on IL key Senate seats
and to work for defeat of eight
incumbents, all of whom are Re-
publicans.
Among those marked for the
hardest labor opposition was
Senator Goldwater, Republican
of Arizona, frequent critic of
union participation in political
affairs.
The leaders OF the AFL-CIO
Committee on Political, Educa-
ton also discussed a 1856 budget
of from 50 million to SIS million
for political education and di-
rect contributions to various
campaigns, including that for
the Presidency. Some labor off,
cials expressed the hope the
budget could be set as high as
So million.
Other G. 0. p. Targets
The discussions here were
tentative and largely informal.
COPE leaders decided to leave
specific candidate Endorsement
recommendations and financing
matters to a small committee to
be appointed by AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany. The whole
political committee will act fin
ally on those recommendations
at its next meeting. probably
around May !.
In addition to Senator Gold
water. the sentiment at the
COPE meeting was to work for
the defeat of Senators Duff of
Pennsylvania. Capehart of In
diana. Thye Of Minnesota, Welk-
er of Idaho. Wiley of Wisconsin,
Millikin Of Colorado and Butler
of Maryland. In most cases, the
labor leaders believe they will be
successful.
The AFL-CIO will work for the
reelection of Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon, and will
keep hands of the Ohio sena-
torial contest which shapes up
as a race between Senator
Bender, Republican. and Gov.
Frank Lausche, Democrat. neither
of whom is regarded as a friend
by the labor leaders.
There was disagreement among
the AFL-CIO leaders over Sena-
tor Kuchel. Republican of Cali
fornia, with some sentiment for
