The
Rambler
Checks on
Our Big Fuetory
By GEORGE KENNEDY

This started out to be an
important economic survey
but the truth is the RAM
bier is easily sidetracked.
Yesterday he went to the
Navy Yard = pardon, the
Naval Gun Factory-to check
on employment and pros
pscts for the future.
There he met Capt. Charles
e. Briner, who certainly
should be an admiral and
probably soon will be.
Despite the fact that he
has an extensive plant and
employment far below ca
pacity-and very little pros
pect Of improving the situa-
tion--he was affable and
had the attitude of a man
whosnot only enjoys his job,
but enjoys living.
Lets face it," he said.
There's no future in the
gun business.
LAS you know, an i'm
portant function here was
the refining of guns, a
tremendous job with the 16-
inch rifles. 1t was a must
after they had fired a GER
tain number Of times.
"We would lower them into
the. shrink pits, heat their
outside shell and run cold
water into their lining until
expansion and contraction
caused them to come apart.
Last fall we did that to
the 16-inch guns of the Wis
consin. Then we stored the
guns because the ship is in
metl1balls. I doubt that we
will ever do that sort of a
job again.
1--WE have a wonderful ma
chine shop here. Some Of
the machine tools cost more
than 81 million, others a
mere half million. We are
making rocket launchers to
go on ships, antisubmarine
weapons.
"There has been some talk
about changing the name.
1t became the Naval Gun
Factory in 1945. But / say
What's the use?' and point
out that the streetcars still
come down here marked
Navy Yard"

CAPT. BRINER HANDED

CAPT. BRINER HANDED
THE writer a copy of Round
Shot to Rockets" by Taylor
Peck, United States Naval
Institute, So.
r ession, fiddlestickS!
That book contains a story
of national distress and hu-
initiation that makes every
other crisis, even the Civil
War situation, pale in COM
parison.
The Yard Is as old as
washington and during the
War of 1912 was a going
concern. Navy Yard clerk
named Moredecai Booth left
p detailed account of his ac-
tivities.
It is a story Of confusion.
When the British entered
the Capital on August "a,
1914. they apparently did
rot have enough force or the
tactics to police it, just
enough to go from public
building to public building
with the torch. Booth tells
of the President of the
United States stopping in a
tavern north of the Capital,
hoping to find his wife, and
missing her.
Capt. Tingey Of the Navy
Yard had orders to destroy
everything. He hated to do
it, The frigate Columbia
was just approaching COM
pletion. II was burned by
its builders. A thunder
storm and tornado put out
some of the fires and the
schooner Lynx escaped
destruction. Perhaps that
was unfortunate. In 1920
on a cruise against pirates
of the West Indies, she was
lost at sea with all hands.

Planning Council, made the
suggestion as the council ap-
pointed a special committee to
study the Chantilly road prob
lem.
At the same time. Council
Director Paul C. Watt disclosed
that the council staff viii hold
its first discussion on the prob
lem today with Civil Aeronau-
tics Administration staff off,
Gals.
The CAA, charged with build
ing the airport, apparently also
has final decision on the road
location. but area planning
agencies have complained that
CAA has bypassed them en-
tirely in early planning studies
of the route location.
Parkway Use Feared
Virginia officials fear CAA
might want to use the George
Washington Memorial parkway
along the river for the major
part of the route, connecting
the airport and the parkway
with a highway through the
little developed northern por-
ton Of Fairfax County. This
they contend, would stimulate
private development where the
county is least able to provide
public services for it and where
there would be serious dangers
Of polluting in the areas water
supply from the Potomac.
Instead, the Virginians hope
for some route that would pas:
south of the Virginia towns Of
Herndon and Mclean between
the airport and the Potomac.

Rose Gains
As Nations
Flower

The red rose yesterday may
have moved a step closer to
becoming the national flower.
The flower was hailed by
Representative Scott, Republic
can of Pennsylvania. and a
large audience of rose growers
at a Statler Hotel luncheon
marking the start of National
Rose Week.
THE rose--America's favorite
flower-should be this Nations
official floral symbol" Mr.. Scott
said.
His remarks were backed up
by national polls showing that
10 out of every 20 Americans
preferred the rose over all other
flowers.
Others Also Offer Bills
Representative Scott is an
active supporter of the National
Flower Bill proposing the rose
as the national flower. Other
bills have been introduced by
Senator Chavez, Democrat of
New Mexico, and Representa- =
tive Davis, Democrat of Georgia
Four States-New York, Iowa,
Georgia and North Dakota =
and the District of Columbia
already claim the rose as their
official flower.
Mr.. Scott told the luncheon
that the roses significance as
IAN international symbol of
peace" made it especially suit
able to be the national flower.
On Sunday, This Week
Magazine, a supplement of
The Sunday Star, stepped into
the rose controversy by de-
voting its cover story to the
question.
This Week furnished its
readers with pictures Of six
varieties of roses and a ballot
to fill out in an effort to plumb
public opinion on the question
of selecting the type.
Dedicated to Parks
David S. Stump, president of
All America Rose Selections,
the national rose growers as
ISOLATION which sponsored the
luncheon, said that National
Rose Week lis dedicated to the
Nations public parks, gardens
and monuments which beau
tify America" He said lead
ing nurserymen and rose grow
ers have developed a program
which insures these gardens the
best plants available at no cost
to the community"
The National Rose Queen
Miss Elinor Herring Of Phila-
delphia, reigned at the lunch
con. Mr.. Scott presented hel
with a crown of roses.
In the queens court were
Miss Lora Thomas of Texas
Miss Nan Carter of Pennsyl-
vania. Miss Judith McKevett

Helen Elizabeth KILLER of New

Federal Building
In Southwest
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star star Writer
Congress pushed q variety
of District legislation closer to
passage yesterday.
The Senate approved three
bills, including an appropria-
ton of STAT million to build
q new Federal office building
in Southwest Washington. -Four
local measures cleared a House
District Fiscal subcommittee
Fate of the Federal building
was left to Senate House con-
ferees by the Senate action.
The House voted in March to
postpone construction here in
favor Of buildings in areas
more hard hit by unemploy-
ment. The Senate restored the
building at the insistence of
an Appropriations Subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Mag
nuson. Democrat, of Washing
ton.
Lease Purchase Out
Tucked into a SOL billion
Independent Offices budget, the
building would be financed by
direct appropriations. The
General Services Administra-
ton asked Congress for lease
purchase system of financing.
under which private builders
would put UP the Office on land
leased from the Federal Gov
eminent. Then private inter-
ests would resell the building
to the Government by collecting
rent from Federal tenants.
Senator Magnuson led oppo-
sition to lease-purchase flnanc-
ing throughout the country as
we'll as in Washington, on
grounds that costs were PRO
hibitive.
The Senate-passed Independ-
ent Of1ces Bill carried $751;
million for 81 projects, COM
pared to SLIT million for 81
projects voted by the House
with direct appropriations. The
Senate retained some 20 lease.

ton.
Another difference to be set.
tied by conferees is $l.2 million

the House to plan executive

House on jackson place.

also passed bills streamllnins
