At present. it appears doubt

engage in q campaign in Iraq

to do so.
After the Suez experience of
October, 1856, when the United
States demanded that Anglo
French forces, withdraw from
Egypt, the British hardly are
likely to send paratroopers into
Iraq without full United States
support.
Jordan is a simpler matter.

Commissioner Robert E. Nc

project.

Mr.. Seaton was authorized by
President Eisenhower to review

Potomac crossing is started.
City officials have said they are
ready to start construction on
the connecting road network as

south Of the Zoo is in good

be affected this summer.
At the northern end Of the

That will permit the easy flow

Bridge Needs Repairs
Sometime in the near future,
builders will close the present
Piney Branch Bridge for re-

sewers in the area made rein
forcements to the structure and
its approaches necessary. Mr..
Wirth said.
Closure Of that span in addi-

to halt through traffic again
until one or the other span is
completed.
Another, the Sheriff. drive

struction in the near future, the
park system said, at a cost Of
about $l75,000. That, however,
is on an access road, and will
not seriously change the traffic
pattern.
Other major park projects
include a $4,000 parking lot at
Great Falls and improvements
at Prince William Forest Camp
costing $4,000. The camp pro-
ject will make room for addi-

U. S. Pays Less to D. c.
Than Business Would

If the Federal Government
supported Washington as other
employers support their State
and local governments. the
District would receive more
than $50 million a year.
This is one of the findings
of a newly-published, graphic
survey Of the Capitals fiscal
problems by the Washington
Board Of Trade. 1t was sent
to every member of Congress.
The survey said the shrink
ing and inadequate Federal
payment is clearly the reason"
why Washington cannot afford
the facilities it needs" The
pamphlet. illustrated in red,
white and blue, was published
through the cooperation of a
group of business. professional
and civic leaders.
Basis Of $50 Million Payment
Among other things, the
text notes that q survey Of
larger employers in the coun-
try discloses they pay approx
imately 81 to State and local
governments for each $40 of
payroll. On this basis the
Government should pay $50
million annually.
The Federal payment to the
District is $40 million, as COM
pared with approximately $165
million from local revenues,
according to the study.
Furthermore, it is brought
out that 43 per cent of the
city's land area is owned by
the United States and that this,
along with that owned by other
tax-exempt holders. brings to
52.8 per cent the area Of the
city bringing no real estate
taxes.
To permit the Districts ur-
gently needed SASS million
program Of public works during
the next six years, the au-
thorized Federal payment
should be increased to $32 mil
lion a year, and the District
should be authorized to bor-
row 500 million from the
Treasury. the pamphlet asserts.
Reviews Other Problems
The study reviews such prob
lens as the shift Of taxpayers
to the suburbs and their re-
placement BY lower income
families with less taxpaying
ability and more need for mu-
nicipal services. and a gain Of
suburban store sales volumes at
the expense of those in the
District.

'FEUDAL WARLoRDS HIP
Acheson Cites Split
Of State Democrats
BY G. o. HERNDON
Star star Writer

Former Secretary Of State
Dean Acheson, who last week
was named treasurer Of the
Montgomery County Demo-
cratic Caucus. yesterday said
Maryland Democrats have a
desperate problem" to end dis
unity.
Mr.. Acheson, in an interview
at his Sandy Spring md
farm. said the Democratic
Party in Maryland has been
weakened by the "feudal war
lords who preside over the
Democratic organization" in
the State.
This weakness. he said, has
resulted in the election Of a
Republican Governor and Re-
publican members Of Congress
in q State where q majority Of
the voters are Democrats.
The former Secretary Of
State in the Truman admins
tration said he has long been
deeply interested" In county
politics and has been concerned
primarily about good govern
ment in the county"
Lauds Mrs. Werner
He said Mrs. Stella A. Wer-
ner. a caucus leader who seeks
reelection to the County
Council. is a devoted and ded-
icated public servant"
One obvious reason for his
interest in the county primary
campaign, Mr.. Acheson said, is
his friendship for two other
caucus-slate candidates who
are members of his Washing
ton law firm. Covington g. Burl-
ing. They are Charles A. Hor-
sky of Silver Spring, who is
running for an at-large council
seat, and Paul C. Warnke of
Westmoreland Hills. who is a
candidate in the May 20 pri-
mary for the Democratic State
convention delegation.

Plan toCurb
Fund Rockets
Fuvored Here

proposed new regulations
aimed at curbing District
charity rackets have won a
favorable reception from a
dozen Embarrassing organiza-
tons, it was reported yesterday
Walter F. Chappell, chair
man of the Charitable Solicita-
ton Advisory Council, said the
dozen agencies had sent in
replies to o QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the council last month.
A draft Of the proposed anti
racket rules went with the
questionnaires.
Another 40 organizations to
which the drafts went haven't
commented at all. Mr.. Chappell
said he considered this a
favorable reaction.
The council will meet Fri
day to go over the replies and
formulate a report to 60 to
the District Commissioners, the
chairman said. He added that
a public hearing probably will
be held by the city heads with
in the next month.
The proposed rules, intended
to enforce q law enacted last
year. would require all fund
raising organizations except
churches to register with the
District government, make pc
riodic financial reports, and OBJ
tain official identification cards
for their solicitors.
Church groups, although ex-
empted by the law from the
card-carrying and reporting
rules. would have to prove
Federal income-tax exemption
in order to be listed as exempt.
Registration would not mean
Endorsement Of any fund
raising cause, Mr.. Chappell
stressed. He called this a weak
point in the new law and in
dicated the council might seek
later to have the law strength
ened in some respects.
