The Republicans and the
Democrats set up separate
camps last evening on the
party scene.
For the Democrats-Mr. and
Mrs. Dale Miller gave a 5 to z
reception in honor of Speaker
of the House Sam Rayburn at
the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club to celebrate his
74th birthday.
For the Republicans - Mr..
and Mrs. John Clifford Fol-
ger were hosts at a $50 to

other countries. Mrs. Nixon was
wearing a dark kelly green af-
ternoon dress and a becoming
black hat at the party yester-
day.
Usually when two big parties
are given the same evening in
Washington the guests bump
into each other at both. This
was not true on the whole yes
terday. The party line was
drawn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller and the
Speaker formed the receiving
line in the drawing room to the
right as you walk into the
Women's National Democratic
Club, just of Dupont Circle.
And there was a festive air
about the party BETTING the
celebration.
Cakes, Cakes. Cakes
The Speaker admitted that
he had had at least half-a-
dozen birthday cakes already
during the day but he added
that he hadn't eaten any. He
also told one of the guests
who asked about his sisters,
that he had told them to stay
down in Texas so he could
kick up his heels" a little this
winter.
The hostess wore a pretty
flame chiffon cocktail dress
fashioned with q beaded top
b for the party. She said 1t was

she had on Texas" stockings
which were studded with
rhinestones.

Speakers nephew. Mrs. Bart

country as many Hungarian ref
ugees as existing law will allow
He also called on Mr.. Eisenhow-

In a telegram to the Presi-

press reports indicating that the
Administration is about to in
crease the Hungarian quota
from 5000 to 5000. The Sena-
tor called even this figure pitt

referred only to the Suez area,
not to the Middle East as a
whole.
Another Soviet effort to ex-
plot the Big Three split was
apparently made in the eco
nomic field. where Moscow was
reported offering oil to West
European and Middle East ma
lions plagued by shortages.
A sort of deadline for patching
up Anglo French American diff
ferences comes up a week from
Monday, when the North Allan
tic Treaty Organization meets
in Paris. Secretary of State
Dulles will head tn United States
delegation.
Little could be accomplished to
strengthen NATO, diplom a S
here believe, if the three princi-
pal members were still at odds
on Middle East policy.
A State Department spokes-
man indicated yesterday that
the United States is concerned
about the weakening Of NATO.
He volunteered a denial that the
United States favors any plan
to withdraw its forces from Eu-
rope in the foreseeable future.
DEMOCRATS Demand Oil Aid
Two Democratic voices were
raised yesterday to demand that
Washington give prompt oil aid
to Western Europe. Senator
H u m phrey Of Minnesota and
Robert r. Nathan, an official of
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton, made statements.
For us to continue to punish
our allies can only lead to grave
trouble" Sen. Humphrey said in
st. Louis.
Mr.. Nathan demanded "a arm
and public commitment from the
White House to undertake imme-
diately mobilization of all avail
able oil production and trans
port resources"
There was as yet no move to
activate the Middle East Emer-
gency Committee to coordinate
tanker transportation facilities
for Western Hemisphere oil. But
it was indicated that United
States Government authorities
would closely study whatever
plans British Foreign Secretary
Lloyd announces.
If officials are satisfied with
the Suez withdrawal plans of
Britain and France, the MEEC
could be convened in a matter OF
hours.

changes fast in this part of the
world, to there is no guarantee
the climate of acceptance of the
United Nations won't change to-
morrow. But if it doesn't. there
are some ways in which the
United Nations might quickly
demonstrate its further value.
For instance, it could provide
technical aid which will be
needed to clear the canal. And
it could offer a rehabilitation aid
program for Port Said. Then it
could hear Egypt's case for out
side help in general repairs to
the national economy hurt by
foreign reaction to the national
ization of the canal. Perhaps the
United Nations in some way
could take part in the super
vision of canal operation.
British, French, Israelis and
of course, Russians might not
want to play the game through
the United Nations. But if
America is interested and Egypt
retains its present attitude, the
game could be played despite
some Ieers from the sidelines.

whom declared. That's a tough
one" Several store executives
pointed out their companies
have centralized delivery serv-
ices and that they were I'M
certain how to use Mr.. Chalk's
proposed delivery system.
They also asked how Mr..
Chalk proposed to cope with
trucks loading and unloading
at curbS in front of stores that
have no other loading facilities,
if bus-only lanes should be es-
tabliShed there.
MIR Chalk also promised to
consider suggestions to institute
the shoppers express service
when stores remain open at
night.
Yesterday, Mr.. Chalk con-
ferred with Mr.. Keneipp and
won the latter's agreement to
recommend establishment of
transit-only lanes on Streetcar
tracks on Ninth and Eleventh
streets.
Also, Mr.. Keneipp said he and
Mr.. Chalk were substantially in
accord" with the latter's request
to enforce downtown rush hour
parking and turning restric-
lions on Thursday nights, when
stores are open.
Mr.. Keneipp and Mr.. Chalk
agreed to make surveys of We
hicular running times in Janu-
airy on three streets for the
possible establishment Of bus
only lanes. These are Thirteenth,
between E and H streets NV;
Twelfth, from E street to New
York avenue NV, and H, be-
tween Fifteenth street NE. and
Massachusetts, avenue NV.
Mr.. Chalk's reversal of his
agreement on the use of a second
transit lane on Ninth street APP
parently Reconstructed his request
for a permanent ban on parking
there. OF Mr.. Chalk's request
for a parking ban on F. @ and
Seventh streets NV, Mr.. Ke-
neipp said he would recheck
two-year-old surveys after the
Christmas season.

Mr.. Keneipp. Mr.. Chalk dropped
his request for experimental
transit lanes on Tenth, Six

Hoover. How much Wen be de-
pending on highways. buses and
transit is yet to be determined"
Mr.. Hoover said the use of
heilcopters in the center of the
city would not be practical. They
could be used, however, in outer
sections Of the Metropolitan
Area.
Elevated and Subways
Other transit arrangements
might be the use Of monorails
or elevated cars and subway
trains. They would have to be
ultramodern, fully able to convey
every available transit rider,
moving along swiftly, silently and
leaving no trails of dust or dirt.
Commenting on the New York
City subway and old elevated
system, Mr.. Hoover said:
I'VE want to keep Washington
beautiful and we want riders to
be able to sit down. A basic prob
lem would be the prevention of
interference in residential areas
on the way into the center of
the CITY,"
Mr.. Hoover said we're going
to need, want and have a lot of
highways" He said we might
have a system that uses more
than one kind of principal con-
veyance.
Mr.. Hoover said the commission
is not concerned with current
transit problems. but just the
long-range one.
Congress must approve this
report and, of course, it will take
a lot of money" he said. "Oper-
ating costs as well as initial cost
will be considered. We will rec
ommend what we think is the
most satisfactory arrangement.
THE money we've been ap-
propriated may seem like a lot,
but it isn't. I completed a similar
study in San Francisco on an
appropriation of 100000 and
then ran $4,000 short"

Moving Sidewalks Seen
In Fantastic DC. Future

A fantastic picture of WASH
lington's future was painted last
night by Planning Expert Ken
meth M. Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover, chairman Of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission, told the Citizens Transit
Improvement Association that
moving sidewalks, monorailed
cars and helicopters are some Of
the traffic control features being
seriously considered by the PLAN
ming commission for use here
within the next decade.
The commission, which re-
ceived two appropriations, each
OF 100000 for a two-year study
already has reached many con-
illusions for transit improve
ments, he said.
Using maps of past, present
and the expected future WASH
ington, Mr.. Hoover emphasized
the Importance the heavily in
creased population during the
coming years will play in rela-
ton to use of the study.
From and To Study
In trying to solve the transit
situation, Mr.. Hoover said, it was
necessary to take into considera-
ton where the population will be
living. where the shopping CEN
tiers will be and where people
will be travelling. He said the
present transportation system
can not be expected to work, thus
paving the way for a Buck
Rogers dream city.
Express buses, "carveyors" and
moving sidewalks are under
examination by the commission
The buses would bring people
near the center of the city; where
they would transfer to moving
sidewalks and then to high
speed carveyors, presumably all
underground but the buses.
I'VE are considering transit
arrangements for two separate
years. 1865 and $780," said Mr..
