Planners Study
Agency Shifts
Into Suburbs

The problems Of establishing
big Government agencies in rel
atively undeveloped suburban
areas here are to be featured at
the meeting of the National Cap
Iltal Planning Commission today.
Committee reports will be SUBJ
mitted and discussed on at least
two of these building proposals
One calls for locating the Bureau
of Standards at Gaithersburg,
Md. The other involves conStruc-
ton of Veterans Administra-
ton hospital near Rockville.
In addition, a report will be
explained to the commission
membership on possible sites for
the Central Intelligence Agency
in Washington proper as an al
Tentative to the CIA-preferred
location at Langley. Va.
Site Determined
The latter report apparently
will be mostly academic, since
Congress has appropriated funds
to build CHA headquarters at
Langley, Va. This is the report
requested of NCPC by Senator
Chavez. Democrat of New Mex
leo, shortly before the CHA
appropriation was voted.
All the reports are expected
to bear on such complications
as the water supply and sewage
disposal needs raised by new
building developments and their
impact on the entire Metro
Ipolitan Area.
Look Into Future
Related to the same subject
will be another report on the
economic base for the future
development of the Washington
area. This bears on the popula-
ton and job opportunity distri-
button in the years to come.
Meanwhile, Representative
Thompson, Democrat of New
Jersey, said today he intends
to push vigorously in the next
session of Congress his resolu-
ton providing for locating with

to put out the paper-which less
than a month ago suspended
publication for one day.
However, at 10 O'Clock last
night, City Editor John Man
MON emerged from a closed door
meeting with heads of the Posts
labor unions and announced the
paper would be published.

Whyte, president of Local 10 of
the international Typographical
Union, told newsmen:
Publisher John Fox has
agreed to give Attorney frank
! L. Kozol irrevocable power of
attorney TO sell the Post at the
earliest possible date to any re-
Sponsible party"
! He said also that five union
leaders would fly to New York
today to sit in on preliminary
talks with New York interest
which he said wishes to buy the
paper.

ID. Roosevelt, jr., and Jesse
Frieden. New York attorney
In New York Mr.. Roosevelt

connection with the attempt
against the harassed regime OF
Honduras constitutional dicta-
tor, Chief of State Julio Lozano
A government spokesman said
/; the revolt began at 1880 am
yesterday when 400 troops sta
toned at the San Francisco
Armory famed out patrols in an
attempt to seize the city.
The government brought ur
infantry and opened fire on the

spark the revolt.
Mr.. Villeda Morales denied
the charge in san Jose L sta
RIGA, where he has lived since
the Lozano regime exiled him
against the State. He said the
fact the uprising erupted in the
armory was proof the military
was responsible.
Mr.. Villeda Morales added that
the outbreak was probably a
trick" by Mr.. Lozano to post
pone cong cssional elections he
said the chief of state has PROM

Failed to Win Majority
Mr.. Villeda Morales led the
field in Honduras 1854 presiden-
tlal election but failed to win a
majority.
Congress was then to decide the
presidency, but the opposition
prevented a quorum by boycott

Congress to resolve the situation
made Mr. Lozano. then acting
president, the country'S legal die

Mr.. LoZano has been beset by
growing unrest in recent months,

zone of the best examples of a
constructive, forward-lGoking pro-
gram in the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare is in the
field of economic security, of pro-
lection againt want, for the Ameri-
can family" declares Marion h.
Folsom, Secretary of the Depart
ment. This program he says is built
on a simple but firm principle: to
relieve poverty is good, but to pre-
vent poverty is better.
ION this principle, during the
past 20 years, we have developed
the Federal system of Old-age and
survivors insurance, one of the
strongest bulwarks today against
human distress. / recall, as many
of you do, that many people, in
Guiding many businessmen, voiced.
fears that the social security sys-
tenn would bog down in staggering
administrative costs and red tape.
But today the administrative costs
are remarkably low-less than
percent of the social security con-
tributions. Fears were expressed
that the social security system
would dampen individual initiative,
industry, and thrift. But today, af-
ter 20 years of social security. in
dividuals on the who have built
economic security for themselves
through private means-than ever
before.
81 recall the fear that political
pressures world increase social Sc
curity benefits all out of line with
sound program. But the fact is
that when this administration took
office, we found benefits were too
low. They had failed to keep pace
with wage increases and living
costs. And so President Eisenhower
recommended and Congress APP
proved in 1854 a far-reaching series
of improvements. Protection was
made available for an additional
10 million workers, and benefits
were increased. Today 8 out of 10
American workers can look for
ward to social security benefits
when they retire in old age. If
death should take the family bread
winner, the mothers and children
in out of 10 American families
are protected with survivors bene-
fits.
"This is a constructive program
for America. 1t provides economic
protection as a matter of right-a
right earned through tax contribu-
tons of workers and employers
over the years. If it were not for
this system, millions of additional
persons would be forced to turn
today TO the public assistance pro-
grams to meet their essential hui
man needs"
