Kidnop Attempt in D. c.
Told by Soviet Defector

The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee today released tes-
timony of a Soviet Air Force
defector who swore to an APP
parent attempt by Russian agents
to kidnap him from restaurant
virtually in the shadow of the
White House.
The witness was Peter Pirogov,
former Red Air Force flyer who
another Russian, Anatoly
Barsov-piloted a plane through
the Iron Curtain in 1913 to seek
refuge in the West. Barsov later
returned to the Soviet Union, re-
putedly of his own volition.
Mr.. Pirogov's testimony was
given before the subcommittee
on Wednesday. In his state
ment, he told Of a fracas that
took place in the Three Muske-
teers Restaurant, $40 Connecti-
cut avenue NV. two blocks
from the White House.
No exact date was given for
the incident. which took place in
the late summer of 1949, about
two weeks before Barsov was
returned to the Soviet Union.
But Henry Ambord, manager Of
the restaurant. today fixed the
date as August IA or Is Of that
year, just a day or so before he
returned from q trip to Switzer-
land.

Union Leader Gets
Term for Contempt
Of House Probe

ers Union, today was sentenced
to nine months in prison and a
5000 fine for contempt of the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities.
The sentence was pronounced
by Judge David A. Pine, in U. S.
District Court. Gojack was al
lowed to remain free on bond
pending appeal.
The charges against him
stemmed from his refusal to tell
the House committee in March.
1885. whether he was a member
of the Communist Party and
whether he knew certain Others
to be Communists. He had based
his refusal on the First Free
Speech) Amendment.
Judge Pine rejected a plea
that Gojack be placed on pro-
baton with the comment that

receiving military alQ.
Today's action will enable the
administration to ask the Appro-
|priationS Committee to make
available $500 million of eco
nomic aid to Asia, which was
authorized last year but not
appropriated. The House this
year voted to repeal the unused
authorization.
Bridges Has Doubts
Meanwhile, Senator Bridges,
Republican of New Hampshire.
expressed great doubt" that the
Senate will go as far as the COM
mittee has gone in restoring
House cuts.
Chairman George said today
the committee may not finish re-
vamping the bill until tomorrow.
The Senators also voted to
reverse a House decision which
would have pooled economic aid
for Asia, African and the Middle
East into one fund. The Senate
committee went along with an
administration request 10 ear
mark this money by areas.
The Senators, however. agreed
with the House that this eco
nOmic assistance must take the
form of loans, except when it
consists of surplus farm crops or
when it is given to region
rather than a single country.
The Senate committee struck out
a further House proviso that
would have prevented any one
country from getting more than
rs per cent of the economic aid
money.
Backs Smaller Boost
Referring to yesterdays 9-to-5
vote to restore the 5000 million
in military aid, Senator Bridges
said he is inclined to vote for
some increase but not as much
as the committee approved on
motion of Republican Floor
Leader Knowland.
In authorizing appropriations
of $2.525 million for foreign Mill
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-15

tary assistance (the House APP
proved $1,925, 000,00O) the SEN
ate committee split the amount
into two parts.
1t specified that SIG billion
of the sum must be used in pur-
chasing new equipment for
United States armed forces in
replacement of equipment and
materials of corresponding value
which the Secretary of Defense
would furnish foreign allies.
The author of this position,
Senator Green, Democrat of
Rhode Island, said this would
write into law a practice used
by the Government in the past.
He said it would emphasize ''the
close relationship between mill
tary aid to other countries and
the regular United States de-
Tense program"
The rest of the proposed mill
tary authorization-$925 million
would be spent according to
the Presidents discretion, and
generally for equipment not
used by United States forces.

Steel Union
Rejects Offer
Of Big Three

NEW YORK, June Is (P.-
The United Steelworkers today
rejected as entirely inadequate"
wage and contract proposals
made by the Big Three steel
firms.
David j. Mcdonald. union
president. told newsmen:
mo mathematical juggling
can obscure that the steelwork-
ers are being offered an increase
In take-home pay this year Of
S cents an hour" He described
the industry offer as too little,
too late and too long"
THE fringes are inadequate
and become effective too late
to have any significance" he
said. And the whole contract,
instead Of being modernized, is
to be extended, with its obso-
lescent features, for too long a
period"
This was a reference to a Sug-
gestion by the Big Three firms
United States Steel, Bethlehem
and Republic-for a five-year
contract.
Mr.. Mcdonald topped of his
statement by declaring: 1.-THE
titans of industry have labored
and brought forth a louise"
The Big Three firms had no
immediate comment.
Mr.. Mcdonald said rejection
OF the management offer was
supported unanimously by the
unions l70-member Wage Policy
Committee at a meeting this
morning.
The rejection also raised the
possibility Of a strike in the

Fight Launched
On Exodus Of
U. 5. Agencies
Planners Will Study
City Sites to Curb
Flight to Suburbs
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

A study to pinpoint new Fed
eral building locations in down.
town Washington in an effort to
slow down the exodus of Govern
ment agencies to the suburbs was
launched today by the National
Capital Planning Commission.
The commission will centralize
on possibilities of earmarking
land just south of Independence
avenue, between Fourteenth
street and the Capitol, into a
well-planned Government build
ing area similar to the Federal
Triangle between Pennsylvania
and Constitution avenues.
Chairman Harland Bartholo-
NEW. who proposed the study,
said: ut doesn't seem necessary
that all departments move out
of Washington to get new build
ing sites. Washington is the
seat of Government"
Might Curtail Exodus
Referring to what has be-
come almost a common practice
of Federal agencies in seeking
suburban locations, he said he
felt that If downtown areas were
earmarked in "a well-defined
plan, we might be able to curtail
a little Of the exodus"
Mr.. Bartholomew noted that
the Government already has
substantial land holdings in the
blocks south of the main Mall
between Independence avenue
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks. In addition, that area
also is included in the South
west Area C" redevelopment
study area.
land south of the railroad
tracks is taken up by the Geek
endorf redevelopment plan for
new housing and commercial de-
velopment. But the area north
of the tracks has not been de-
termined for any heavy develop
ments.
Interest in Other Areas
While his main interest was
in this area, the chairman also
proposed re-studies on the pro-
posed East Mall-just east of
Capitol Hill-and the Northwest
Rectangle area in Foggy Bot
tom, where the Government also
owns substantial land.
Commission members unani-
mously backed up the idea and
authorized a committee to launch
the study.
John A. Remon said he agreed
with the idea, but hoped develop
able land would not be held
without use for many years off
District tax rolls as a result. Mr..
Bartholomew said experience
shows that when Government
land is not reserved well in adj
vance, however, that the even
tual cost of acquiring it can far
exceed any such City tax losses.
In another action, the COM
mission decided to sponsor a
conference looking toward new
