RIA GETTING
Biggest Tract
RoiIroud to Sell
For $2.3 Million


Land Agency today disclosed
agreement to buy its largest
single piece of land in the
Southwest redevelopment area
Ian arrangement covering a
vast area between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets S.W. from
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
RIA officials said they have
signed an agreement with the
railroad to pay $2,375.000 for
about $4,000 square feet.
A good portion of the land is
needed for the Southwest
Freeway and other portions
will be offered for sale by the
RIA to private investors for
commercial development.
Plan Condemnation
For technical purposes of title
clearance, RIA officials said
they would file condemnation
against the land by September
is. The agreement on price,
however, ENSURES an amicable
settlement, they said.
The area involved Is across
Fourteenth street from the
south tip of the Bureau OF
Printing and Engraving. 1t is
bounded on the west by Four
tenth street, on the east by
Twelfth street, 'on the south
by Maine avenue and on the
north by a diagonal boundary
line which varies in distance
south Of d street.
The acquisition will not in
clude the main line of the
Pennsylvania tracks. But it will
include a number of sidings and
space in covered warehouses
and stalls which the railroad
is renting to wholesalers of
produce commodities. The most
familiar of these are the long
warehouses just north of Maine
avenue.
The agency also said it in
tends to acquire warehouse
property owned by the Briggs
Co. along the west side of
Twelfth street near the rail-
road property.
One to Remain
Only one private business in
the general railroad area along
the west side of Twelfth street
will remain in private owner
ship, officials said. This is the
Kirby Lithographic Co., at 409
Twelfth street S.W.. the pres
ence of which will not interfere
with redevelopment plans.
OfficialS said the Pennsyl-
vania acquisition will provide
RIA with nearly all the land
needed for the Southwest Free
way, now under construction,
The only remaining section to
be bought is east of Twelfth
street. a large part of which
is owned by the Terminal Re-
frigeration Co.
Beyond the freeway neces-
sity, however, RIA officials be-
lieve a large part of the new
land will stimulate some busi-

Among Proposals
By GEORGE BEVERDGE
star stan writer

Star stan Writer
o. Roy Chalk today presented
details Of his dream proposal"
for rebuilding the Southwest
waterfront to a joint meeting
of the District Commissioners
and the Redevelopment Land
Agency.
Mr.. Chalk, president of the
D. c. Transit System, called his
proposition-which is the most
drastic and dramatic ever pro-
posed for the Southwest food
for dreams from which reali-
ties are made"
He has offered to buy from
RIA a huge area fronting on
the Washington Channel be-
tween Twelfth and Sixth
streets S.W.
Cost of the total develop
ment, he thinks, would range
between $18.5 and $27.7 million
and would be financed by a
variety of sources including his
own enterprises and those of
the Government.
1000 Guest "BoateI"
The four main components
OF the ambitious new plan call
for a giant 1.000-guest "boatel, :"

among other features.
Taken Under Study
John A. Remon, RIA chair
man. promised to take the
proposition under considera-
ton, but said his agency could
make no comment on it until
considerable staff study is
completed"

view Of the great problems of
getting approval for redevelop-
ment plans, Il feel we should
give first priority to imple-
menting those We already have

He added that legislation now

NIT razing of the Southwest
waterfront is based on the as
sumption that provisions will
be made for many current busi-
neSsnen to be displaced and

pleasantly surprised legislative
leaders who had feared a long
battle if the varying House and
Senate versions went to a con-
ference committee.
The House bill, as amended
last Saturday night by the Sem
ate, was called up early this
afternoon by House Ways and
Means Committee Chairman
Mills, Democrat of Arkansas.
His molten to concur in the
Senate changes won immediate
approval.
Goes to White House
The bill now goes to the
White House. AS originally
passed by the House, 1t en-
countered considerable oppo-
sition from administration Of
f1cials and faced a possible veto.
This threat repeatedly was re-
moved when the Senate last
Saturday scaled down the
House provision to increase the
Federal contribution to State
public assistance programs.
The principal feature of the
bill as sent to the White House
is the 7 per cent increase in
monthly retirement checks to
approximately IL million per-
sons. The increased Federal
contribution to State public
assistance programs would be
$197 million, as compared with
the $3.50 million originally APP
proved by the House.
Besides increasing benefits,
the bill would increase the So
cial security tax rate and also
apply it on the first $4,000 of
annual earnings instead of $4,-
200 as at present. Those taxes
are paid by employees and en-
ployers.

WASHINGTON, LR - Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is hospitalized with an intestinal aiI- ment. But his doctors say they find no evidence of a recurrence of cancer.
 The State Department said Dulles, 70, was in satisfactory con- dition at Walter Reed Army Hos pital, undergoing treatment for an inflammatory condition of the lower colon.
 The doctors finding that no cancer was involved was reported by the Department Saturday night, when it disclosed for the first time that Dulles had entered the hospital 24 hours earlier. A cancerous section of Dulles in- testine was removed at Walter Reed two years ago.

PORTLAND, Ore, R On their first date, Dorothy Manewal, Is, and Richard Gillett, 22, liked each other.

 After they were introduced by a friend last week, Dorothy said, q sort of liked Dick and we made a date for Saturday night
 ''We were sitting in a car and talking when I just happened to say that Dorothy Manewal wasn't my real name, that it was Sara Esther Aldridge.
 And then he said that Dick Gillette wasn't his real name either. And then he said, Well, I'm your brother We just sat there for moment. We could hardly believe it.
 The pretty, dark-haired high school girl said they were adopted into separte homes after their mother died in 1948, and hadn't seen each other since.
 Gillett, whose real name is Mi chael Charles Aldridge, said that he knew he had a sister but had never tried to find her.
 "I remember him when I was a little girl," Miss Manewal said. She said he had never attempted to locate him either.
 Gillett, a factory worker in nearby Oregon City, spent Sun dy helping his new-found sister make Christmas decorations.

Little Chance FOreseen That Democrat Congress Will Follow Party Program

Johnson of Texas stressed last month in a 12-point legislative program for the new Congress. Johnson omitted civil rights from his program.
 Despite the contention of na- tional chairman Paul Butler that the councils program reflects the direction in which the party is pointing in 1860, however, the pro posals do not appear likely to command effective sponsorship in Congress.
 The general opinion among poli- ticians is that Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas will, in practical effect, shape the final form of the legislative pro- gram that emerges from next years session.
 In the past, Johnson and Ray burn have not paid much atten- ton to the councils recommenda- tions. There is no reason to believe their attitude will change ma terially.

New Little Rock School Officials DenOunce Faubus

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, R - The deadlock over desegregation here remained unbroken today after an inconclusive election in which three businessmen opposed by Governor Orval E. Faubus won seats on the Little Rock School Board.
 Faubus charged the three were integrationists who had worked against his successful bid for a third term in last summers cleo tion.
 Three others elected to the school board had the implied backing of the Governor.
 Seemingly split on the degree of resistance to integration, the new board soon will have to cope with an uncompromising federal order for affirmative steps" toward ra- cially mixed classes in public schools.
 All 13 candidates for the six board seats had professed to be segregationists.
 "This is the first crack in the Faubus edifice and I predict that his entire political empire, foun- ded as it is upon misrepresenta- tion and ibigotry, will soon be crumbling at his feet" asserted Ted l.. Lamb, an advertising exec utive who defeated two staunch segregationists in a three way race.
 But Amis Guthridge, attorney for the prosegregation Capital Git izens Council analysed the voting this way: Our people took the election for granted and refused to run scared"

W. Reject Soviet Plan.
 For Free City
By REYNOLD ENSZ

BERLIN, R - The people of West Berlin gave an emphatic no yesterday to Communist plans to drive the Western allies out of their city.
 But the resounding Communist defeat in the election of new West Berlin Parliament did not kill the Soviet proposal to- end the four-power occupation and turn West Berlin into a demiG- tarized free city. Red spokesmen said the proposal still stood.
 West Berlin mayor Willy Brandt braced his people for shocks to come and warned of serious times ahead.
 No Communist candidates were elected in the election, which was widely viewed as plebiscite on Soviet Premier Khrushchev's pro- posal. The Communists were the only ones who supported the So- viet proposals.
 Brandt, leader of the Socialists, was reelected in smashing per- sonal triumph. His party got 78 of the 133 seats in Prliament, a solid majority. The remaining 55 went to the Christian Democrats, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer'S party.
 The Communist candidates were buried under an avalanch of votes They received mere 1.9 per cent of the vote, as compared with 2.7 per cent in the last election in 1854. They have never won Par liamentary seat in West Berlin.
 Brandt, A, fighting anti-Com- munist, became the undisputed leader of West Berlin and thus a strong eventual contender for the West German Chancellorship.
 The Soviet Union is proposing that the French, British and Amer ican troops leave West Berlin within six months and turn it into a free city independent of both West Germany and Commu- mist East Germany.
 Brandt, Adenauer and allied of ficials have denounced the plan as a Soviet trick to grab West Berlin.

WASHINGTON, R - Dr. Wer- ner von Braun, the Army's top missile scientist, sys he regards the ballistic rocket Gas very suitable form of transportation for people and cargo.
 But he says lot of people = including Army officials - still must be convinced of this.
 "We could use missiles that we have right now and fire people with them a couple of hundred miles" von Braun said.
 The missile, he said, should not be regarded only as an artillery weapon, but as a means of deliv- cry that may deliver not only bombs but also people or cargo.
