S23 Million Bid
For DC. Seen

President Eisenhower is eX-
pected to ask Congress Wednes-
day for a $23 million payment to
help finance a record District
budget of nearly $207 million for
the coming fiscal year.
The request will go to Capitol
Hill as part of the Presidents
annual budget message for the
entire Federal Government.
Essentially, the District spend
ing program is expected to be
about the same as that recon-
mended to the District Commits
sioners last August by the city
Budget Office. upon which the
commissioners held a public
hearing in October.
The Budget Office proposed a
balanced budget OF S2.05.5 mil
hon and allowed virtually no sur
plus for later contingencies in
the General Fund. which fl
nances most categorieS of city
spending.
Since the hearing, however
the Commissioners have received
a new estimate of expected reve-
nues from the Federal Budget
Bureau. This presumably would
have been higher than earlier
estimates and would have given
the Commissioners some leeway
for additional spending.
Public pressure at the October
hearing was certain to have per-
Suaded the Commissioners to use
up the leeway Although the city
heads try 10 keep their decisions
secret until the Presidents mes
sage goes to Congress, they were
reported to have approved more
money for schools and made sew
eral other adjustments.
No attempt was anticipated at
present to press for a backlog OF
SIS million in authorized Federal
payment funds which Congress
has refused to appropriate over
the last two years.
City officials have explained
they plan TO wait for a real emer-
gency to Justify a request for
the backlog.

Mr.. Ring said he called the
critical" site problems to the
Districts attention last August
and that is the only aspect of
public housing on which there
has been no progress.
The NCHA chief noted that
new public housing units must
be available before residents can

Future projects, however, he
said. will depend heavily upon an
additional $500 units authorized
for construction. but for which
no sites have been found.
The most serious threat is that
the city may lose its authorize
ton for the additional 500 units
unless it can report sites for them
within the next six months to
the Public Housing Administra-
ton.
Costs Pose Problem
In addition. Mr.. Ring said. one
l50-unit project, slated in the
current program for site near
Tenth and Florida avenue NV,
has been held up because site
costs at that location are too
high. If the costs were paid, he
said. the project building would
have to be built at IAN undesir-

costs.
Those most in need of public

Newspaper Says Mother
Blocks Soud's MARRIAGE

CAIRO. Nov. l (R. The
newspaper AL Akhbar said to-
day that Saudi Arabian King
Saud's mother put the 55-
year-old monarchs romance
with a 19-year-old Lebanese
schoolgirl into cold storage.
The papers editor. Mustafa
Amin, reported from Beirut
that the Kings mother said
mo! Mol" when he took home
a picture Of pretty dark-haired
Ferial Solh, a niece of Lebanese
Premier Sami Solh.
Saud's desire to marry Ferial
was reported week ago from
Beirut, after he concluded a
state visit to Lebanon. Ferial's
mother confirmed that her
daughter might wed the King,
who is immensely rich from his
country's American produced
oil.
Saud repeatedly has the four
wives Moslem law allows him.

number of daughters and be-

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-01

AL Akhbars editor indicated
that the marriage still might
come of reporting that Ferial
is bride-to-be under proba-
tion.' The dispatch said:
King Saud told Ferial's
mother he wanted very much
to marry Ferial," but there
was one person who must APP
prove the marriage the
monarch's mother"
The King returned to Saudi
Arabia on october 20 with a
photo of Ferial.
"Saud'S mother looked at the
photo and said, No! MOI Saud
tried to convince his mother,
but she again refused"
King Saud bowed to his
mothers will and orders were
issued to- Saudi Arabian En-
bassies abroad to deny the news
of a planned marriage, Amin
added.
Saud's father, King Ibn Saud,
who died in 1853. married 1876
times and fathered 40 sons and
more than 100 daughters. In
accordance with the Koran,
however. he never took more
than four wives at a time.

it touches Communist North
Wet Nam as well as the still
free countries of Thailand and
South Wet Nam. A strong Laos
could prove a buffer or a bull
wark, but in Red hands it would
provide an opening wedge be-
tween Thailand and Wet Nam,
both friendly to the United
States.
The Royal Laotian govern
ment. recognized by the United
States, is even now dickering
with a Communist Laotian
faction whose leaders were
trained for their task in Red
China.
In Cambodia, the govern
ment seems stable and the
people friendly, but here again
the slow processes of Commu-
mist infiltration are encourage
ing neutralism that is begin
ming to look like it was thought
out in Communist China.
The American hope of saw
ing Laos and Cambodia is seen
to be tied directly to American
success in increasing the
strength, stability and resolu-
ton of Wet Nam. That south
ern end of the Indo-Chinese
peninsula leans heavily on
direct American aid Of all

most no reference to these ex-

The speech welcomed the
decision of the United States

Farley Adopts
India ArrrlsPIa
Unanimously

NEW DELHI, Nov. 1 R.-
The 83-nation international
Red Cross Conference unani-
mously approved today an
Indian resolution calling for
increased efforts toward world
disarmament. The vote was
1850.
Russia, Czechoslovakia and
Japan pressed for quick ap-
proval of resolutions for an i'm
mediate ban on nuclear tests.
The conference voted, 1850
yesterday to adopt a draft code
calling for a ban on nuclear
and other weapons that might
cause mass slaughter OF
civilians in war. The code will
be forwarded to the 80 nations
for consideration and possible
action to include it in interna-
tional law.
Soviet delegates still insisted
on a resolution to prohibit
nuclear tests, the same demand
made by Russia in stalemated
United Nations Disarmament
Commission talks. Similar pro-
posals were made by Japan
and Communist Czechoslo-
vakia.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther,
American Red Cross head. said
the Soviet plan provided no
safeguards against violation of
a ban.
Gen. Gruenther said his
organization and the United
States Government supported a
three-point Indian resolution
which also won backing from
Britain, the Philippines. Argen-
tina, Ecuador, South Korea and
Greece.
The Indian resolution appeals
"once again to all countries" to-:
/. Accept the principle that
war is no solution to any prob
lem and thereby pledge them
selves to avoid it.
2. Intensity efforts for gen.
eral disarmament.
3. Adopt measures which will
effectively protect humanity at
all times from consequences OF
the use of incendiary, chemical,
meteorological, radioactive OF
other weapons.

|AttIee Sees Peril
IOf Red India

LONDON, Nov. / (R.-Earl
Attlee, the former Laborite
Prime Minister, warned today
that British and American ac-
tons would play large part
in deciding whether or not
India goes Communist.
Writing in the journal of the
English Speaking Union, he
urged the provision of British
and United States capital for
Indian development.
He described India as "the
most important bulwark OF
freedom and democracy" in
Asia and asked:
will she continue to follow
the road which, under the en-
lightened leadership of MI
Jawaharlal Nehru. she has
been treading, or is the cap
ture by the Communists of the
government in Kerala (state)
a sign of things to come?
The answer to this depends
of course, mainly on the In
lians themselves. but in my
view the issue will be largely
influenced by the actions Of the
governments of Britain and the
United States"
