All Queens Men Seize
|Chotty Mrs. ForrestoI

LONDON. June % (P.-The
Daily Mail said today that Mrs.
James Forrestal, widow of the
former United States Secretary
of Defense. was hustled away by
detectives when she tried to
touch Queen Elizabeth us arm
and speak to her at the Ascot
races yesterday.
This was the Daily Mails ac-
count of the incident:
The Duke Of Gloucester, the
Queens uncle, pinioned Mrs.
Forrestal's arms before de-
tectives-in top hats for the
smart sporting and social oc-
casion-hastened to the Queens
side.
Mrs. ForreStal was quoted as
saying all she intended was a
friendly gesture and merely
wanted to say hello to the Queen,
whom she had met socially as
Princess Elizabeth.
Il am sure the Queen would
have remembered me-" Mrs. For
restal was quoted as saying.
The United States embassy
said Mrs. Forrestal now lives in
Ireland and came to England for
the Ascot season. An embassy
spokesman said he thought she
had returned to Ireland.
The Daily Mail said the Incl
dent occurred as the Queen and
of her family were ieav-
ing the royal enclosure at Ascot
and passed down a narrow path
where the Queen could be seen
by only few spectators.
Mrs. Forrestal. wearing a badge
her to be in the royal
enclosure, apparently tried to-
touch the Queens left arm.
Your Majesty. please -. she
began.

vened. holding her arms until the

Industrial Mart
Built on
Site
$40 Million Project
To Provide Space
For Product Display
By DONALD B. HADLEY

A multi-building industrial
mart, housing display space for
manufacturers and wholesale
distributors. is being constructed
on a 15-acre tract in Northeast
Washington.
The disclosure yesterday was
heralded by the business COM
Imunity as one of the most sig
|nificant additions here in years
The big center at Brentwood
road and Ninth street NE. is
expected to cost more than $40
million. It will become distri-
button center for products rang
ing from building materials and
heavy machinery to home appli-
|ances. furniture. toys. food and
apparel.
There is a possibility, too, that
Ia large mail-order house will
lease facilities at the center.
Announced by Shapiro
Plans for the project were an
nounced by Lewis H. Shapiro
Washington lawyer who owns
the site, at a special press con-
ference called by the Washing
ton Board of Trades Economic
Development Committee.
Hailing the announcement as
a development of major impor-
lance. committee members noted
the center may also accommo-
date some light manufacturing
Spokesman said the need for
such a center in Washington will
be even more apparent when
some existing facilities are elm
mated in the Southwest Develop
ment program.
The center's two principal
structures will be an eight-story
exhibition building with $50, 900
square feet Of space and q ter
minal warehouse with 400, 900
square feet. including both cold
and dry storage.
Between these two units will
be individual buildings con-
structed to specifications of var
ious tenants under long-term
leases of Is to 80 years. At least
100000 additional square feet of
space will be provided by the
buildings for individual firms.
Two Leases Signed
Westinghouse Electric Supply
Corp. and the burst Manufac-
turing Co.. makers of plumbing
supplies. have signed the first
two leases for individual build
ingS.
Four additional lease agree
ments with nationally known
firms were said to be near COM
pletion. The first six individual
buildings. already started. are to
be ready for occupancy by Janu-
airy and will have about 200, 900
square feet.
Work on the exhibition build
ing and the warehouse will start
about January l and completion
is scheduled tentatively a year
later. Mr.. Shapiro said.
The various buildings will oc-
cupy all but about 100000 square
feet of the ground surface of the
tract and the remaining space
will be used for driveways and

fall. Ratification by the parlia-
ments of each country can then
start.
Hopes for final ratification rest
primarily on one factor: The
architects Of Euratom and the
common market have avoided
the mistakes which contributed
SO heavily to the downfall of
EDO. The strategy is this:
Line up parliamentary and
political support before commit
ting any government on Euratom
or a common market.
Keep U. S in Background
Keep Uncle Sam far in the
background; let this be a Euro
pean program.
Try for softer" international
organization to placate the ma
tionalists.
Split Euratom from the com
mon market so that the French
Parliament-again a great stum-
bling block--can make two mo-
decisions one at time.
The last great move toward a
united Europe. EDO was planned
by Europeans but was promoted
loudest by the United States. Its

cannot consider a proposal sub
|mitted to the Commissioners by
the so-called Mcdonald group.
Mr.. Chalk and Mr.. Fox said
either the Commissioners or
members Of Congress could per-
suade the transit directors to
submit their proposition to
transit stockholders. If such en-
couragement is not forthcoming
this week, they declared, they
will pick up the $500. 900 deposit
they placed as evidence Of good
faith.
Mr.. Chalk said there is barely
enough time left for any one to
take over Capital Transit oper-
Iations when the latter's franchise
expires August IA.
That is why the Thursday
meeting Of the company direc-
tors is so important, he said. The
board will have to decide whether
to submit his proposition or one
filed by National City Lines, he
added.
A nudge from either the Com
|missioners or members Of Con-
|gress would help the directors
reach their decision, he said.
Alternative Cited

said the board could only rec

posal, for which President j. A. B.

proposals are rejected, he said
the alternative would be public

His Political Moves
Still No. | Mystery
By MARY McGRoRY

President Eisenhower plans to
leave the hospital some day this
week, it was announced yester-
day. But his political plans re-
main the country's number one
mystery.
While speculation continues
over the question of the Presi-
dents candidacy for a second
ERIN. discussion apparently stops
It his hospital door. At least his
press secretary, James c. Hag-
Ierty. says that the Chief Execu-
tive. who underwent a major
abdominal operation Is days ago.
has discussed politics with no
member of the White House staff
mot even Sherman Adams, who
reported to him on the Repub-
Ilican convention meeting held
here Friday.
The President was very
pleased" with the report on the
g. o. P. nominating convention
which will be held in August in
San Francisco. But his personal
pleasure" extended only to the
personnel and arrangements, Mr.
Hagerty insisted. He had no
comment on Republican National
Chairman Leonard Halls fat
prediction that the ticket would
again be Eisenhower and Nixon.
Progress Called Steady
Mr.. Eisenhower, who is max
ing steady, satisfactory pro-
gress, according to his doctors,
will walk out of the Walter
Reed Army Medical Center
sometime next week, if he con-
tinues as he has to date.
Originally. at a press con-
ference held by the doctors who
operated on the President in the
small hours of the morning Of
June 8, the surgeon, Mai. Gen.
Leonard D. Heaton, predicted
that the President would leave
the hospital in approximately
is days" BY that timetable, he
would have left today. Mr..
Hagerty explained the extension
only by saying that the doctors
think it would be best for the
President to stay in the hospital
about another week"
The last wire reten-
ton sutures-were to be re-
moved from the abdominal in
cision today.
Hagerty Gets a Laugh
Mr.. Hagerty had a hearty
laugh yesterday after reading a
New York newspapers report
that Democratic Congressman,
also an ileitis victim, had urged
the President to remain an ac-
tive candidate.
The Congressman. Representa-
tive Chelf, of Kentucky, was re-
ported to have said he had un-
dergone surgery for ileitis and

His Use of 'Phony'

BY JOHN A. GILES
star star Correspondent

= QUANTICO, Va. June 23.--
Defense Secretary Wilson de-
clared today that he had 3een|
misunderstood" when he char
acterized congressional moves toI
boost Air Force funds as
''phony"--a remark that has
stirred up a hot bipartisan at
tack on him in the Senate.
II didn't intend to say it that
way" Mr. Wilson told reporters
when asked if he meant the
word to apply to ANY of the
maneuvers in the Senate" TO in

Mr.. Wilson told an impromptuI

base where he is conducting his
annual conference with top de-
Tense leaders, that between lis.

versy."
Silent on Resignation
But the Defense Department
chief failed to answer a question:
as to whether he would resign
his cabinet post-which Senate
Democrats have demanded.
Unsmiling and obviously upset.
Mr.. Wilson did not claim he was
misuuoted In fact, he said, he
had just read a transcript OF
what he had said at a news con-
ference Thursday night.
He said that when he said
"phony" he meant that re-
porter's question was phony. He
said that both he and the news
men were to blame for the mis-
understanding but later he said
he would take the entire blame
because he was in a hurry and
did not take time to clarity his
statement.

said. y read the transcript real
carefully.

because your question was a I

ception that ! didn't have to

No Intent to Insult
The furore on Capitol Hill, he
said, was prompted by misin-
depreciation in the newspapers
He added that he had no intent |,
to insult the Senate or the
American people and that he
recognized the Senate's right to- \
