Suddenly a 50-pound piece

Mr.. Croft rushed TO his home

happened. The two went out

of American University after
a rezoning battle that went
all the way to the Supreme
Court when citizens of the
Wesley Heights-Spring Valley
area fought the project. Then
the effort to obtain the Lough-
boro road site came about after
the university decided the hos
pital would interfere with ex-
pansion on the campus.
The subcommittee, obviously
disturbed about the needs of
Sibley Hospital and needs of
Metropolitan Washington for
an assured future water supply.
also called on several other
agencies for some more specific
reports about water needs in
relation to the Loughboro tract.
These questions went to the
Army, its Corps of Engineers
and others. Directly involved
was whether it is necessary to
continue the Army's map max
ing service and the facilities OF
the Beach Erosion Board on
the site.
Col. George B. Sumner. dis
trict Army engineer here, OBJ
jected to the use Of the Lough-
boro road tract for any purpose
other than for the Washington
water supply. He agreed that
if necessary, some Of the Gov

could be moved elsewhere.
Other Sites Discussed
At the end Of the hearing,
Senator Morse took up the
question Of other possible sites.

dent of Sible Hospital. said he
knew of no other site that was

Congress.
Several appropriation bills

debate in the Senate. An effort
to call a temporary halt in that
debate for action to clear some
appropriation measures has
been stymied by the objection
of Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon.
Senate Republican and DEM
oc9atic leaders were trying to
persuade Senator Morse to
withdraw his objection today
so that at least a resolution
continuing current appropria-
tons for affected agencies
could be adopted.
LayOn Question Arises
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked II
it might be necessary to lay
off any Government employees
as a result of the fund cutoffs
in some agencies.
He did not answer this ques-
ton directly, but said it was a
very serious" situation.
The most desperately hit
agency. the President said, is
the Small Business Admins
tration. whose authorization to
exist runs out tonight.
He explained that the only
way the SBA's 1900 employees
can keep on working is in
response to requests of agency
officials and without any as
surance that they ever will be
paid.
On top Of that. the President
pointed out that action on all
pending and future SBA loans
to small businesses will have
to stop tonight unless a pend
ing bill to extend the agency's
life is acted on promptly.
