Neon Signs for Motel
Protested by Planners

The National Capital Plan.
ming Commission yesterday
lodged a strong protest against
large neon signs planned to ad-
Ivertise a motel on the Arlington
side of the Potomac River neal
the Fourteenth street bridges.
The planners voted to register
their opposition with the Airing
ton County Board of Zoning APP
peals, which granted a special
permit to allow the tall signs.
Commission staff members sale
one sign, on top of a building
will be So feet high, with neor
letters over seven feet in height
Another sign, with a flagpole
on top, will be SO feet tall.
The strongest opposition was
registered on grounds that the
signs will detract from the beau
Ity Of the Capital for motorists
approaching Washington from
Virginia, and also dominate the
view from various vantage points
in the city.
Beyond Jurisdiction
While agreeing that the site
is outside their direct jurisdic-
ton, the planners said they will
request the Arlington coming
body to consult with them on
any such projects in the future
In another action the commits
sion resolved a long highway
battle by approving use of In
dependence avenue for the route
of the city's proposed inner loop

between Tenth street S.W. and

inner loop represented a defeat
for the District Highway De-
Ipartment. which had wanted to
build the road along Ohio drive
the park road bordering the
Potomac between Lincoln Me-
mortal and Hams Point.
Revised plans showing how
both routes could be used were
considered.
Act to Guard Parks
The commission feeling was
that either would serve traffic
well. but that the Independence
avenue line would cause far less
disruption of park values even
though it would cost more. The
Independence avenue route will
cost an estimated SIS million
as against Sill million for Ohio
drive.
Representative Jenkins, Re-
publican of Ohio, accompanied
by other Ohio legislators. gave
the commission a petition signed
by the entire Ohio delegation in
opposition to the Ohio drive
route.
Senator Bender, Republican of
Ohio, said the disruption of park
areas near Ohio drive would
create an eyesore" which far
overshadowed any question of
cost.
Six-Lane Bridge
In another vote of more i'm

mission approved a six-lane
bridge over the Washington
Channel which will rovide di-

ton with the river bridges.

Thirty members of the House
from seven Southern States have
asked President. Eisenhower te
prevent the Leadership Confer.
ence on Civil Rights from using
the Governments Departmental
Auditorium here for a three-day
meeting starting tomorrow.
In a telegram sent to the
White House from Capitol Hill
the legislators charged the gath
Iering would be political and
should be barred from the Fed
|eral facilities under present reg
ulations.
Murray Snyder. assistant
presidential press secretary, said
today the White House would
reply later in the day to the
protest.
The appeal to the President
declared the signers believe it
would be "in violation of separa-
ton of powers provision of the
Constitution for executive agen-
|cies to sponsor or assist in spon-
'soring meetings held for political
lobbying purposes. -
The telegram declared that
appeals.to the Secretary of Labor
and administrator of General
Services Administration had re-
suited in their ignoring existing
regulations governing use of the
auditorium"

'CIA Site Action
Clears Way for
Appropriation
Agency to Present
PIuns and Ask
For SAG Million

The Central Intelligence Agen-
Icy had a clear go-ahead today
to seek the money it needs to
build its huge new headquarters
center at Langley, Va.
Within the next few months,
CHA officials are expected to give
Congress a set Of plans for the
center and ask for $46 million
appropriation. The agency ex-
poets the center can be finished
within 80 months to three years
latter that.
Part Of the money, along with
appropriations already granted,
will pay for extension of the
George Washington Memorial
parkway from its present termi-
mus, just upriver from Key
Bridge, to the Langley site.
H. j. Spelman, Bureau of Pub
lie Roads district engineer, has
told CHA the road would require
80 months to build.
Pushed by Two Actions
The big project was pushed
ahead with two actions by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission yesterday.
In one. the planners approved
a final report to CHA on the
Langley site. 1t presented views
Of majority Of the commission
members in support of the loca-
ton, as well as strong misgiv-
lings held by opponents of the
Langley location.
The planners other decision
was to seek funds Immediately
from Fairfax County and the
State of Virginia to complete
acquisition of land for the park
way extension.
The planners already have ac-
quired most of the parkway
right-of-way as far upriver as
the Arlington-Fairfax County
line. What land it doesn't have
in this stretch is being con-
demned. Beyond the county
line. it has 5000, 900 to buy land
as far as Route 1913.
From that point to the site
will require another $500, 900.
The commission already has
$150,000. but needs $4,000 from
the county and $4,000 from the
State to complete the job. All
the parkway land is bought
under this Federal-county-State
matching funds formula.
The commissions final report
to CHA stressed belief that a
number of new highway i'm
provements aside from the park
way may be needed. It noted
that the CHA already has been
asked to seek Federal funds to
meet these needs. In addition, it
asked the agency to impress
county officials with the need for
strong coming to maintain the
present low-density population
OF the Langley area.
Favored ID. C. Site
The report, drawn by five
man committee, also made it
clear that members would have
favored a CHA site within the
District of Columbia over any
Others, declaring:
THE majority of the commits
tee =. has accorded overriding
Importance to the emphasis
placed (by) Mr.. Dulles letter of
January % that he is not free to
select a location within the Dis
trlct and that by virtue of emer-
gency measures already taken it
is important to him to locate on
the west side of the Potomac
River"

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
We, the undersigned pa
tients. in the Knud Hansen
Memorial Hospital have been
hospitalized in this institution
for periods ranging from six
weeks to three years. During
the last thirty days the guam
tity Of food served to US has
been inadequate to meet our
daily needs. In most cases
medicines are not available to
treat our illness.
It is our understanding that
this situation is due to lack Of
funds. All Of us are anxious to
get well and return to our
friends. Since we are unable
to do this if proper food and
medicines are not furnished,
we are appealing to the peo-
pie Of the Virgin Islands to
help US by demanding that
the Government furnish the
necessary funds for food and
medicines.
