For Air Force Wives Hit

Representative Norblad. Re-
publican of Oregon, today pro-
tested against the hiring by the
Air Force of a woman fashion
co-ordinator" to encourage styl-
Iishness among Air Force wives
overseas.
Mr. Norblad. a member Of the
House Armed Services Commit
tee, wrote Secretary of the Air
Force Quarles that lin this day
and age OF nigh budgets and
high taxes it seems to me that
this is about as useless a job as
could be created by the Defense
Department"
Without question this Job
could and should be abolished"
he wrote.
The letter was made public
by the Comgressman's Office.
Mr.. Norblad said he under
stands the fashion co-ordinator's
job is to fly to France, Italy,
Turkey. Morocco, Libys, Spain
and other places where air bases
are located" and interpret the
prevailing mood Of fashion in the
United States for wives and fam
lilies OF service personnel abroad"
He said he also is advised she
will promote good displays of
women's fashions in post ex-
changes overseas and stage fash.
ion shows with the latest styles
being properly accessorized."
Mr.. Norblau said he has no
quarrel with any woman's desire
TO keep up On the latest
fashion, But he said. Il cam
not conceive OF this being
a duty or obligation OF the De-
partment OF Defense" TO hire
someone to keep service wives UP

Mr.. Norblad identified the new
fashion co-ordinator as Inge

Senate Asked
To Investigate
DC. Planning
Too Many Cooks
Impede Programs,
Butler Charges

A full-scale inquiry into the
problems of planning develop
ments in Metropolitan Washing
ton was sponsored in a resolu-
ton today by Senator Butler,
Republican of Maryland. who
last month charged that pro-
grams were being "hamstrung by
too many cooks"
The Butler resolution would
have the study made by the Sen
ate Interstate and Foreign Com
MERGE Committee. or one of its
subcommittee, under a proposed
Senate outlay of $4,000 for the
work.
The findings and any legisla-
tive recommendations flowing
from the study would have to be
submitted to the Senate by Janu-
airy 81. 1858.
In a blast at planning pro-
cedures and practices affecting
the National Capital and adioin-
ing areas of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. issued February 10, Sen
ator Butler protested that the
National Capital Planning Com
mission had been one of the
chief offenders" as to what he
termed obstruction of bridge and
Federal building projects.
Revamping Proposed
In this connection he suggested
lit might be well to have a re-
organization of the commission
with a membership composed en-
tirely of Washington area resi-
dents.
In his resolution, the Mary
land Senator declares some of
the agencies dealing with metro
politan area planning have ar
rogated to themselves functions
not within their jurisdiction.
He also declares that in these
agencies there was confusion.
overlapping of authority and
rivalry which has operated
against the orderly development
Of the metropolitan area"
Unhealthy Situation
He said this was an unhealthy
situation that had impeded the
building of bridges. extension of
highways. relocation of Federal
establishments and has caused
disruption and uncertainty in
essential local planning for resi-
dental and business purposes. ="
He added that IL also has con-
tributed to the failures of the
so-called lease-purchase pro-
gram for financing Federal
buildings.
The Butler resolution declares
that a continuation of such a
situation will seriously leopard
ize the orderly development of
the Metropolitan area for many
years to come"
Senator Butler is a member of
the Senate Interstate and For

Four Men Killed

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. Mar. 4
R.-An avalanche of rock and
dirt fell on workmen at an ex-
cavating site in the Little Rock
business district today, killing
at least -four.
One man was rescued alive a
few minutes after an earthen
wall a half city block long coll

quickly. He suffered broken
leg and possibly chest and in

Loudoun Backs
Library Law
Stands BY Statute
Boring Segregation
By star stan Correspondent

LEESBURG. Va. Mar. A.
Loudoun County's Board of Su-
pervisors today directed that
County library services be pro-
vided according to State law.
The board sidestepped the
question of whether the county
would continue its appropriation
to the Purcellville library if it is
integrated.
The boards action appeared to
be a victory for a Negro upho!-
sterer who has hired an attorney
to win library rights in the small
town 7 miles west Of Leesburg.
State law requires that, II pub
lie funds are used in operation
of a library. the facilities must
be open to all citizens.
The unanimous vote BY the
supervise + today merely echoes
State laws on this question.
Trustees Turn 10 Board
The Board of Trustees OF the
Purcellville library presented its
problem to the county board,
seeking reaction to the request
Of Samuel c. Murray. the uphol-
Sterer. that he be allowed to use
the library.
A State library official has
said he believes the Purcellville
library is the only one in the
State operated with public funds
that is conducted on a segre-
gated basis.
D. N. Myers Of Waterford. a
trustee Of the library. asked the
supervisors whether they would
continue the county's $4,000
yearly appropriation II the
library trustees decide to oper-
ate on an integrated basis.
Instead of answering this
question, the supervisors asked
Commonwealth's attorney Stir
ling Harrison for q legal opinion.
IF public funds are allocated
to this library it means the in
tegration Of the library" Mr..
Harrison said.
Motion Made and Adopted
This ruling was followed by
a motion by DR.. w. p. Frazer
stating that county library
services must be conducted in
accordance with the law of the
State Of Virginia. The motion
was seconded by j. T. Hirst and
unanimously adopted by the
board.
Mr.. Myers told a reporter that
he felt his question was not
answered. He said he was hop
ing TO find out whether the
county supervisors would cut of

Good Vote Seen
For Doctrine
Administration Puts
Is or Less Against
BY J. A. O'LEARY

I administrator supporters were
hopeful today that not more
than Is Senators will vote
against the Eisenhower Middle
East resolution when the final
roll cali is taken within a day
or two.
Their hopes are based largely
on the Unexpectedly large mar
lgin--58 to 28-they scored on
Saturday against the. Russell
substitute. which would cut out
all reference to economic or
military aid funds.
Backers Of the resolution are
anxious for a decisive majority
because they feel that much of
its value will lie in the psyche
logical effect Of showing the
Communist world that a Repub-
lican administration and a DEM
ocratic-controlled Congress are
united in a determination to
prevent communism from TAX
ing over the vital Middle East
area.
4 But some observers believe the
vote on final passage will be
about the same as the roll call
on the Russell proposal. There
is possibility. for example, that
some Senators who were un-
willing to go on record against
foreign aid spending Saturday
by supporting the substitute. will
want to register opposition to
the Eisenhower doctrine as a
whole.
/ Those who take this view
argued that it does not attempt
to deal with solutions TO the
basic problems OF the Middle
East. These include the Arab
Israeli dispute. control Of the
Suez Canal and the refugee
problem.
| The administrators position
is that these issues can be dealt
with better In the U. ". than
unilaterally by this government.
Democratic Leader johnson of
Texas convened the Senate at
IL o'clock this morning. and may
Ak an earlier hour for tomorrow
in the hope Of completing action
by tomorrow night or Wednes-
day.

remain on the clerks desk. but

Asked who he would like to

One cannot question the Arabs

are out.
These people don't know how
long we will stay here. or whether
we will come back, or whether
the Egyptians will take over. "
