White House position clear in
a press briefing in which he
said:
l. President Eisenhower has
absolutely no intention of firing
Mr.. Adams. as has been de-
manded by Representative
Mack. Democrat of Illinois,
and others.
2. Mr.. Adams refuses to
grant reporters requests for a
news conference and intends
to say no more than was en-
bodied in a letter to Chairman
Harris, Democrat of Arkansas,
of the House Legislative Over
sight Subcommittee, made pub
lie yesterday.
3. Mr.. Adams will neither
confirm nor deny reports that
he received a $500 vicuna coat
as a gift from his wealthy

Bernard Goldflne.
Insists Case Is Closed
At the same time, Mr.. Hag-
erty restated his position Of
yesterday that as far as the
White House was concerned,
the Adams matter was closed.
On other fronts, however,
the matter seemed to be Just

had been the guest Of Mr..

hotel suites paid for by the
Bostonian. The bills were in
excess Of $1,000. They revealed
further that Mr.. Goldfine had
had dealings with two Federal

The House Appropriations
Committee took a hard look at
the city's financial situation,
1t said that the city would have
a surplus Of over SO million
despite the committees reduc-
ton of the Federal payment by
20 per cent.
In its report to Congress, the
committee said more attention
should be devoted to public
school space before attention is
given to the Ideal" 30-to-1
pupil-teacher ratio.
District officials sought money
to bring the ratio down from
32.8-to-1 to 32-1.
Hits Part-Time Glasses
THE committee has denied
this request" the committee
report says, based in part on
the fact that each time the
pupil-teacher ratio has been
reduced, the number of part
time classes has increased.
The objective of the school
system should be to educate
the child and the committee
does not believe this can be
accomplished through part
time classes"
But the committee, accepting
the recommendations of its
subcommittee, headed by Rep
resentative Rabaut, Democrat
of Michigan, did add $1.1 mill
lion to District Building re-
quests for more classroom
facilities throughout the city.
Using it's own language,
this is what the committee had
to say about its requests for
more money:
1.-THE revised public school
construction budgAt included
for acquisition only four school
sites. The committee, in an
effort to speed up this vital
construction program, has in
cluded an additional $1,118.000
for those four particular prof.
ects."
Projects Identified
The Board of Education,
when informed of the COM
mittee's action in granting Sill
million more than requested
for four projects, identified
these projects as:
A 31-room elementary school
at Forty-seventh and Foote
streets NE. for construction
and plans for the Lenox and
Maury elementary schools and
another elementary school at
Fifteenth and Rosedale streets
NE.

Put on Cyprus
Porutroops Also
Ordered to IsIund

NTCOSIA. Cyprus, June. 10
R.-Only British troops walked
the streets of Nicosia today as
authorities clamped on the first
100 per cent curfew in an eff
fort to end communal fighting.
Britain also ordered para
troopers to the Mediterranean
island colony to strengthen her
troops trying to end continuing
clashes between Greek and
Turkish Cypriots, Eleven Cyp-
riots have been killed since Sat-
urday.
Since the outbreak of COM
munal rioting, the Greek and
Turkish communities had been
allowed out of doors separately
for several hours daily to get
food and other essentials. To-
day even that was prohibited
and such pass holders as doc
tors, civil servants and report
ers we're included in the pro-
hibition.
More Violence Expected
British plans for the future
Of Cyprus-to be announced
Tuesday-are expected to in
tensify the violence by failing
fully to satisfy either the AGO.
900 CypriotS of Greek descent
or the 100000 Turks.
The Greeks want the island
annexed to Greece. The Turks
want Cyprus partitioned if the
British leave.
The situation approached
civil war yesterday with the
bloodiest battle yet. A gang of
300 Greek Cypriots tried to
raid a Turkish village near
NicoSia and was met with gum
fire. Three Greeks we're killed
and nine wounded.
British troops headed of
part of the Greek mob, arrest
ing 80 and diSarming the rest,
but one group set fire to crops
and was attacked by hidden
Turks. Seventeen Turks we're
arrested.
Troops ROut Mob
In another clash, club-swing-
ing British troops broke up a
Turkish mob trying to storm a
Nicosia police station.
The War Office in London
said the situation on Cyprus
is deteriorating and more
troops are needed to bolster the
British forces that make this
an East Mediterranean strong
point. About 500 paratroopers
are expected to be flown here
tomorrow and other troops in
England have been alerted.

Views on Chalk
Southwest Plans

Brig. Gen. Alvin c. yelling,
District Engineer Commissioner,
last night declined to commit
himself on new Southwest re-
newal proposals of o. Roy
Chalk, D. c. Transit System
president.
Asked on a WWDC broadcast
for his reaction to an elaborate
Chalk plan for waterfront tour
iSt accommodations and other
facilities, the city official said
the potential benefits" of the
plan must be weighed against
the renewal delay it would
cause.
City and Federal officials are
currently deep in design de-
tails regarding the projected
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Bridge, Gen. yelling said. He
declined to forecast a starting
date for construction.
Major steps forward were
taken during the past year on
river pollution, coming, settle
ment of the Route 240 location
controversy and the Roosevelt
Bridge. he said. He noted that
this month marks the start Of
his second year in Office. He has
not decided yet on the major
projects he will tackle in the
next year, he said.

Mr.. and Mrs. Tahir Haiku
Sur have had a wonderful time
on their vacation -playing
tourist in their home town.
They've visited the Jefferson
Memorial, the Library Of Con-

talk resulted in a bill for a
bridge with a fixed" draw
span. The House killed the
hybrid by whipping it back to
committee.
Starting fresh, Congress this
session shifted the bridge
further upstream from the
Lincoln Memorial area. Legis-
lation setting the span across
the southern tip of Theodore
Roosevelt Island settled a FIVE
year spat over the structure.
Preliminary work has begun.
Authority to spend money al

was cleared.
Late in the session, Congress

and the southwest freeway.

cards may be made out at the
time Of issue with the in
dividual solicitors name. or the
names may be filled in by the
charity itself. In the latter case
the organization must file a list
Of solicitors with the licensing
department. The list must be
kept current.
Whether the charity fills in
the cards or the city does it
is to be decided BY the director
of licenses.
Solicitors must carry the
cards, which will be serially
numbered nom transferable and
good for a maximum of one
year. The card must be dis
played at the time the prospect
is asked for a contribution. 1t
will bear the name and regis
tration number Of the charity
as well as the name of the
solicitor.
Disclosure Purpose
The cards, however, will also
bear the legend: THE issuance
of this card does not constitute
an endorsement Of this solicita-
ton by the District of Columbia
or by any officer or employee
thereof"
This, Mr.. Chappell pointed
out, underscores the fact that
the new charitable solicitation
act is a disclosure law rather
than a control law such as in
effect in some other localities.
A formal memorandum on
each application for registra-
ton will go to the enforcement
section Of the Licenses and In
spections Department and an
other will go to the Police De-
partment. Investigators, when
necessary, expect to ask to ex-
anime the books Of the appli-
cant, officials said.
1t is expected that some ap-
plications may present difficult
ties. However, officials feel they
are equipped to cope with these.
After a fund campaign is con-
cluded the city will expect a
financial report within 80 days.
A registrant's future good
standing and eligibility for
further registration will depend
cooperating in meeting this
requirement.
Exempt Glasses
Fund drives carried on en-
tirely within Government build
ings or private business firms
need not be registered, and
their solicitors will not be
asked to carry the information
cards.
The law, besides exempting
church groups, also exempts
the American Red Cross. But
the latter participates here in
the United GiverS Fund. which
will be affected by the new
rules.
