if at the same time the Soviet
Union agreed on a definite date
for stopping the production OF
fashionable material for nucleai
weapons production.
1t was a controversial de-
cision which is still being OPP
posed inside the administra-
ton and out.
Thomas e. Murray, former
atomic energy commissioner
has become a leading advocate
of pairing down the American
position to suspend test of large
thermometer weapons only
not all nuclear weapons-and
to remove the tie-in with a
cutoff on nuclear weapons
production.
In Mr.. Murray's opinion the
United States nuclear stockpile
is still far out of balance on
the big-bomb side. He believes
the stockpile should be brought
into better balance with thou
sands of small nuclear weap-
ons. especially those that would
be needed for antiaircraft de-

The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice estimated today that Fed
eral tax collections from the
District amounted to $428 mil
lion in fiscal 1856.
The amount is larger than
the totals of Federal taxes COL

States. The Districts amount
also exceeds Ae combined to-
tails Of five States--the five that

Jury Trial Plan
Democrats
Seeking New
Rights Tack
BY J. A. o'LEARY

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland today came out
against any compromise that
would put a jury trial amend
ment in the civil rights bill as
he left the weekly legislative
conference at the White House.
His statement that it would
be a mistake to adopt any jury
trial amendment came as in
fluential Democrats were re-
ported to be looking for some
new approach that would win q
majority of the Senate.
Senator Knowland told re.
porterS the administration po-
sition against a jury trial
amendment remains as stated
by the President on July is.
But when the Senator was
asked If his own position
against any compromise on the
jury trial issue represents the
position of the President also.
he replied:
mo. He does not attempt
to dictate the details of legis-
lation."
Ready for Long Session
The Californian said he
hoped the Senate would be able
to take a final vote after a
reasonable period of debate but
served notice that supporters
of the bill are ready to stay
in session throughout August,
September "or all winter II
necessary" to pass the bill.
Commenting on talk of being
in session all winter, Demo-
cratic Leader johnson of Texas
said, Il am one who thinks you
can pass a civil rights bill in
a reasonable time. and that
does not mean all, winter. IL
you treat people reasonably"
Senator Knowiand said he il
ready to enter into a unanimous
consent agreement with SEN
ator johnson later today to put
the civil rights bill aside tenn.
porarily to dispose of an accu.
mutation of urgent measures.
Senator johnson said last night
this could be done in one or two
DAYS.
The Southern Democrats
agreed this morning to Coop
crate in what Senator Russell,
Democrat of Georgia. called "a
temporary cessation of hostil.
tiles" to pass urgent appropria-
tons and other bills. He point
ed out that Senator Knowland
originally proposed taking UP
the civil rights bill to the ex-
clusion of all other business.

Takes Hand in Case
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

William Cohen, president OF
the corporation which built the
Eastern avenue house with the
sinking basement, said today
he will investigate to see what
can be done in this particular
case because it Is an "emer-
gency situation"
Mr.. Cohen, who was out of

gas from a broken sewer pipe
flooded the home, emphasized
today that his interest in

stakeholder and he had had
nothing. to do with the actual
building.
After the basement collapsed
last Friday. Mrs. Lillian G..
Davidson and her four young
children had to leave the home
and seek refuge with friends
and neighbors.
Sees Morale Obligation
Mr.. Cohen said he did not
want to invite a chain reaction
of complaints from other home
owners in the AREAS has

want to help in this particular
case because she has had to

At the same time, Mr.. Cohen
said he was 100 per cent in ac-
cord with proposals now under
discussion at the District Build
ing to require that general con-
tractors be licensed and bonded
so that if building defects show
up. the home owners would be
protected.
On that point, the Home
Builders Association of Metro

2. The consolidation Of West

Mr.. Stassen. or possibly Mr..

start outlining the aerial in
spection proposals to the full
subcommittee once the private
conferences have ended.
British and American sources
said that despite tomorrow's
nominal deadline they expect
the current session to be ex-
tended by a week or so, or
until after the aerial inspec-
ton plan has been presented.

Also on tap for Mr.. Dulles
was a meeting with British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan and Mr.. Lloyd to discuss
a wide range of diplomatic is
sues, including the tribal up
rising in Muscat and Oman.
United States officials said it
was possible that during his
visit Mr.. Dulles would meet
with the Soviet disarmament
spokesman. Valerian Zorin, and
attend at least one meeting of
the disarmament subcommit-
tee.
The immediate issue in the
disarmament negotiations is
the forthcoming presentation of
a United States plan for aerial
inspection between Russia and
the West.
Some Western observers in
terpreted Mr.. Dulles first state
ments here as an indication the
West is less hopeful than before
of obtaining a broader disarm-
ament treaty at this time, and
that he will attempt to salvage
some sort Of agreement on
aerial inspection which would
reduce the danger of surprise
