Peoples Life
Begins Workon
New BUILDING

The Peoples Life Insurance
Co., 1343 H street NV, yester-
day officially broke ground for
its new five-story building at
New Hampshire avenue, F and
G streets and Twenty-fifth
street NV. 1t is expected to
cost around 81 million.
Although plans have been
discussed to put the proposed
auditorium and cultural center
in that area and to build part
of the inner loop superhighway
system there, the insurance
firm has decided to go ahead
with its program. Officials said
while there have been extended
conferences and discussions on
these projects, they have not
really jelled and the company
believes the time has arrived
to build.
Accordingly. President S. w.
Hauser. Vice President and
Secretary w. w. White, Vice
President and General Counsel
w. T. Leith and Vice President
r. N. Taylor went down to the
site yesterday and officiated at
the turning of the first shovel
full of earth for the foundation
Mr.. White said today they
considered it a good time to
get started on the foundation
because of favorable weather.
The architects, Mills. Petit
cord & Mills. are finishing up
the plans and plan to put them
out to a list Of contractors the
end of the month. They ex-
pect to call for bids the end of
August and award a contract
shortly thereafter. The archi-
tects pointed out they have a
District government building
permit for the building.

set up In an effort to settle
jurisdictional strikes between
rival unions for doing a par
ticular job in which both claim
q primary interest.
Mr.. Connally pointed out
that the councils negotiations
with six unions in the building
trades were concluded recently.
He said the settlements were
very favorable to all the unions
and to the employers as well.
Contractors employ IL to is
building trades and Mr.. Con-
nelly. who is manager of the
Washington Office of AIMING
johnson Co., a Chicago con-
tracing firm, said that if they
were all in one welfare fund
I'VE would be able to give addi-
tional benefits" He described
the present setup as not too eff
cient. and as costly and I'M
wieldy.
Mr.. Connolly said there are
IL to IS welfare funds now, with
as many administrative and
auditing expenses. Some are
small and the cost of admin
istration proportionately high,
he declared. If they we're all
In one fund, it would be more
efficient to operate, he said.
Now, each union has a differ
ent welfare fund, he observed.
Some have pensions and some
have none. Some have medical
benefits for dependents and
some do not.
And there are other varia-
tons.
There recently was a short
strike in the lathing industry,
which the council did not nego-
tiate. Mr.. Connolly said. This
has now been settled. There
was another short strike of ce-
ment truck drivers, he said.
He pointed out that most
contracts are set with a gradu-
ated rate Of increase. Some
have clauses under which well
fare plans will be reviewed and
some call for pension plans, Mr..
Connally declared. But he said
1t is considered difficult for
some unions to give up their
own individual identification
with their own funds. This is
a stumbling block in the pro-
gram to have one welfare fund.

Gov. of Arkansas Says School Closing Would Be Pleasant Development

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, R-Gov. Orval Faubus Saturday said it would be "a very pleasant devel- opment" if Central High School were closed while federal troops are there.
 He also said he probably is "a scapegoat for President Eisen- hover" and that the President seems to be in difficulty.
 The governors statements came at a press conference shortly after 14O mothers of Central High School asked that the institution be closed, then reopened "under new sponsorShip"-an obvious reference to private rather than government operation
 Queried on whether he would adhere to any agreement made by a committee of southern govern ors who will see Eisenhower on Tuesday on integration problams, Faubus said "any deal would have to meet with my approval" !" He indicated he is studying the possibility of calling an emergen- cy session of the legislature.

Eisenhower Indirectly Accuses
 Gov. Faubus of Encouraging g Mobs
 To Flout Federal Court Orders

NEWPORT, R-I., R-President Eisenhower Saturday indirectly accused Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus of encouraging "mobs of extremists to flout the orders of a federal court"
 And the President said it would have been tantamount to acqui- essence in anarchy and would have resulted in dissolution of the Union' if he had not ordered troops into Little Rock to quell violence.
 Eisenhower set forth his views in a telegram to Sen. Russell O. Ga), who had accused the troops sent to Little Rock of highland ed tactics reminiscent of Hitler'S Nazi Storm Troopers.
 On that point, the President told Russell in replying to the sena- tors protest:
 Il must say that I completely fail to comprehend your compari- son of our troops to Hitler's Storm Troopers. In one case military power was used to further the ambitions of ruthless dictator; in the other to preserve the inSti- tutions of free government"
 In sharp criticism of how the Arkansas state government han dled the situation in Little Rock prior to the call-out of federal
The Nome nugget., 1957-09-30

troops, Eisenhower did not men ton Faubus by name. But there was no mistaking that the criti- cism was directed at the governor.
 The President wired Russell:
 My conviction is that had the police powers of the State of Ar kansas been utilized not to frus- trate the orders of the court but to support them, the ensuing vio- lence and open disrespect for the law and for the federal judiciary would never have occurred"
 Faubus called out the National Guard Sept. and used it to pre- vent Negro students from attend ing classes at Central High School in Little Rock. FaubuS contends he ordered the Guard out to pre- vent violence and to preserve law and order.
 Faubus did not call off the Guard until ordered to do so by Federal District Judge Ronald Davies. Eisenhower federalized the Guard and also sent Army troops into Little Rock last Tues day after rioting at the high school on Monday.
