At Meetino
OF Cabinet
BY JOHN A. GILES

Top defense officials con.
ferred with President Eisen-
hover today with every indica-
ton that the administration
has become concerned about
Russian progress in the space
satellite and ballistic missile
fields.
New Defense Secretary Neil
H. McElroy. Deputy Secretary
Donald A. Quarles, Assistant
Secretary (controller) Wilfred
j. Mcneil and Defense Missile
Gar William M. Holiday were
among those who conferred
with the President and then
remained for a two-hour meet
ing Of the cabinet.
The only members Of the
cabinet missing were Secre-
tary of State Dulles and Sec.
Rotary of the Interior Fred
Seaton. They we're represented
by top aides.
The White House did not in
dictate the precise nature of the
cabinet discussion.
viii Increase Spending
The meeting today followed
one yesterday Of the National
Security Council. where top
military. scientific and diplo-
matte advisers discussed the
impact Of recent Soviet adj
vances on the United States
missile program.
Mr.. McElroy announced only
four hours after taking office
that the administration had
decided that additional funds
for overtime on missile projects
would be approved. However,
it was learned today that the
stepup would only be about 2
per cent.
Overtime on missile projects
with the exception of the
testing facilities such as that In
Florida-have been running
from 2 to 3 per cent of the
total outlay for the projects.
This information was dis
closed following Mr.. McElroy's
press conference in which he
said a special committee
had asked additional testing Of
both the Arn1y's Jupiter and
the Air Forces Thor intermedi-
ate (1,500 miles, range ballistis
missiles.
Decision Months Away
A high Official, who asked not
to be quoted said today it would
be several months" before Q
decision could be made. There
fore. testing of the missiles will
be stepped UP.
An announcement by Mr..
McElroy last night said his
special assistant for guided
misSiles-Mr. Holaday-has re-
ouested that the tests be con-
tinued until a better technical
basis is established for q de-
ciSion."
The problem of overtime on
missiles projects came up when
it developed that Is per cent
of the funds allotted to the
Army'S Jupiter project was
being used for that purpose.
This was disclosed in The

Asks Easing Of
Lewis Plans
Vote Set for Friday
On Suggestions Of
Advisory Board
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE

The Commissioners Citizens
zoning Advisory Committee win
vote next Friday on a new set
of proposed amendments which
will change dramatically Dis
trict coming proposals recon-
mended by Consultant Harold
M. Lewis. The changes are less
stringent than the Lewis pro-
posals.
The extensive amendments
If approved by the full advisory
committee-will be submitted
TO the city heads for trans
mission to the District Zoning
Commission. The commission
now is considering whether to
adopt the controversial Lewis
report, with changes. as the
city'S new coming code.
The 56-page advisory report
recommends paragraph = by :
paragraph changes III virtually
every section of the big coming
revision Mr.. Lewis submitted
to the Commissions last No
vember.
HighlightS Set Out
Some of the highlights in
clude:
/. Elimination Of requirements
for any off-street parking facil-
titles in new buildings in the
downtown business district. and
major reductions in parking re-
quirements for big new apart
ment houses.
2. Only two coming classical
tons for commercial areas. one
for "neighborhood" shopping
areas and one for general COM
mercial" areas. Mr.. Lewis rec
commended four different COM
mercial coming districts.
3. Elimination of the two
special purpose" coming dis
tricts recommended by Mr..
Lewis. and their replacement
with q single transition" dis
trict to separate residential and
commercial areas.
I. A new set of proposals
for height limits on new build
ings. generally staying within
the 1910 Act Of Congress which
established Washington's build
ing heights.
5. A proposal that any
building projects started be-
fore the effective date Of the
new coming rules be permitted
to continue under existing
coming.
6. Establishment of two man
ufacturing coming districts. in
stead Of the one proposed by
Mr.. Lewis. to provide for diff
ferent types Of manufacture
ing uses.
Request Carried Out
The new citizen advisory re-
port carries out in detail a re-
quest from District officials
that the advisers be as specific
as possible in stating what is
wrong with the Lewis pro-
posals. and positive alternate
proposals.
In the past. some members
Of the citizen group have blasted
the Lewis revision as being 50
fundamentally wrong that 1t
would be difficult to amend,
and have urged that it be
strapped entirely.
Copies Of the new sugges-
tons, 1t was learned, are in the
mail to all members OF the
Advisory Committee.
The Zoning Commission,
which has full authority to or
der a new city coming code into
effect. is expected to announce
final decisions on the new zon-
ing code by early December.
Its five members repeatedly al
ready are in agreement on basic
policy decisions.
The Advisory Committee,
headed by Thomas j. Groom,
will meet at 3 pm. Friday to act
on the extensive amendments
proposed by a special drafting
committee. It was understood
that a majority of the Execu-
tive Committee members of the
Groom group are in accord with
