proposed $3.50 million fair at
Largo in nearby Prince Georges
County.
Their questioning dealt pri-
marily with matters of financ-
ing the fair and whether Suffi-,
cient housing would be available.
1t was during the questioning
session that Harry A. Bulls of
Minneapolis, the chairman,
complimented the master plan
ner of the Washington concept
of a permanent new city, Victor
Gruen, New York architect and
community designer. Mr.. Bulls
called the plan dynamic.
Boosters Optimistic
Boosters for the Washington
site already had indicated to-
day that they were optimistic
about the chance the Nations
Capital will be chosen to hold
an international exposition
some time in the mid-1960s.
They said Washington's pres
entation at an all-day hearing
yesterday was the only one
that came up with an magma
tive and novel approach.
The proposed futuriStic city
to house the fair near Largo,
Md, would become commu-
nifty of 100000 population once
the fair ends.
James S. Lanigan, who would
be general manager of the
Washington fair, told the COM
mission that industrial leaders
of the major cities of the Ma
ton already have indicated
they will give financial support
for a fair in the Nations Capt.
tai. The plan is to provide
backing for the fair from in
dustrial centers of the country.
He said these leaders have
indicated their support would
be given only to a fair here or
in their own individual cities.
Following yesterdays hear
ings in which proponents repre-
senting the District. New York
and Los Angeles urged the
merits of their communities for
an international exposition, the
three-member commission said
it would act speedily in de-
Gliding which city wins the con-
test.
The commissions findings
will be given President Eisen-
hover.
However, Mr.. Bulls said much
material must still be studied.
He could not estimate how soon
a decision will be ready.
District Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin said he believed
WaShington'S presentation was
more logical" because of the
permanent aspects of the plan.
No New Scheme
He noted that New York
spokesman, who included Gov.
Rockefeller and Mayor Robert
F. Wagner, did not present any
imaginative scheme. Instead,
he said, the New Workers pro-
posed "the same old fair and
the same old ideas"
The New York group sug-
gested that the fair be held at
Flushing Meadows, scene of
the worlds fair of 1889.
Mayor Wagner and the mem
bers of his delegation received
some sharp questioning by

Four Apartments
In Bethesda Hit

Montgomery County police
today blamed arsoniSts for set
ting five separate fires which
damaged or destroyed an esti-
mated $4,000 in property in
the Easements of four Bethesda
apartment buildings last night.
Bethesda Satisfaction 1t. Rob-
ert L. Dutrow said it was
hardly a coincidence or spon-
taneous outbreak" and said the
detective bureau is looking for
the f1rebugS.
Detective 1t. John Leahy
said there was obvious arson in
the blazeS which broke out in
apartment Easements at 6749
and 6739 Fairfax road and 5026
and 5006 Bradley boulevard
over a short span of time. The
fires started in storage bins
where personal property of
tenants is kept.
Police said three bins were
destroyed and seven were
damaged. In the fire at 6026
Bradley boulevard, police said,
a trunk was set fire in one
place and q chair in another.
Bethesda Fire Chief Paul
Oldfield turned in a second
alarm as q safety factor after
residents reported the third
basement was in flames. This
happened while firemen from
Glen Echo and Bethesda were
battling the fires in the first
two storage areas.
The fire calls eventually
brought out fire equipment
from Silver Spring and Ken
sington, as well as the Be-
theSda- Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad.
One fireman, Pvt. Norman
Ingram of Glen Echo, was
taken to Suburban Hospital for
treatment for smoke inhala-
ton.

Hogan Hints
Perjury Action
On Van Doren
Changed His Story
To Grand Jury. Says
District Attorney

NEW YORK. Oct. "a (AP)-
Charles Van Doren and Hank
Bloomgarden. two top money
winners, have revised their
original statements about the
television quiz show Twenty
One"
Both men showed up volun-
tarily but separately at District
Attorney Frank S. Hogan's Of
flee yesterday. Mr.. Hogan said
the changes they made were
Substantial" but declined to
specify just what they were.
Mr.. Hogan said the posi-
bility of perjury action is being
considered but that nothing
would be done until after Mr..
Van Doren appears November 2
in Washington before a House
subcommittee investigating TV
quiz shows.
Faced Grand Jury
Mr.. Hogan at first indicated
that Mr.. Van Doren's changed
statement applied to informa-
ton he had given previously
to the district attorneys Office,
but later said it applied also to
Van Doren's testimony before
a grand jury last year.
His statement had to do
with his appearance before the
grand jury which investigated
the rigging of television shows
for nine months" Mr.. Hogan
said.
Field investigators for the
subcommittee plan to question
Mr.. Van Doren in New York
next week in advance of his
scheduled appearance to testify
in Washington November 2.
A committee source said in
Washington the planned inter-
view sis standard procedure
with prospective witnesses"
adding:
Congressional committees
always try to determine be-
forehand what a witness will
say before he goes on the
stand"
May Call Bl0Omgarden
Meanwhile the New York
Journal-American said it was
told by Beverly Coleman, asso-
ciate counsel for the subcom-
mittee, that we're vitality in
terested in what Van Doren
now has to say, so we can be
assured of a factual, frank and
fortnight presentation of our
case"
The newspaper added that
Mr.. Coleman said Mr.. Bloom
garden also might be sub
poenaed but that a decision
would have to be made by the
subcommittee.
Representative Steven De-
rounian, Republican of New
York, a member of the COM
mittee, said at his Long Island
home that he knew of no plans
for subcommittee members to
come here for the questioning
of Van Doren.

Obligation
ToEnd Tieup
Is Stressed

IL OoOIOAII1, OCJ' 81 N1AGJe
Steel negotiators resumed
bargaining today and President
Eisenhower strongly urged
them to keep at it until the
To-day steel strike is settled.
The President made his new
plea through an aide at his
vacation headquarters in Au-
gusta, Ga. James c. Hagerty,
White House press secretary,
said of the President:
HE sincerely hopes that
when both sides renew their
Output Drops for First Time Since
Slump. Poee Az
negotiations this afternoon in
Pittsburgh, they realize fully
the obligation they owe to the
United States and that they
remain in consultation and ne
gotiation until they settle it,"
= Fact Finder Sees Finnegan
Meanwhile, the head Of ths
Presidents three man fact
finding board in the dispute
said in Philadelphia that he
has been in touch with Joseph
Finnegan. chief of the Federal
Mediation Service.
DR.. George w. Taylor said
he and Mr.. Finnegan talked
over the matter of how they
could best cooperate in the
event the fact-finding board is
reconvened.
The new negotiations were
arranged under a Federal court
directive.
Neither the United Steel
workers Union nor the industry
would comment on the posi-
bility of new proposals being
made.
The Government already has
obtained a Taft-Hartley in
junction to send the 100000
strikers back to the mills for 80
days. But the United States
Third Circuit Court of Appeals
: blocked enforcement of the in
junction pending outcome of Q
union appeal.
Mitchell "Gratified"
The court, however, directed
both sides to make every effort
to settle the strike by collective
bargaining while the appeal
was being studied. A court rul-
ing on the appeal is expected
early next week.
The meeting was the first
since joint negotiations col
lapsed last week in Washing
ton.
In Washington, Secretary Of
Labor Mitchell said he. was
gratif1ed to see the two parties
resume peace talks. He urged
around the clock" negotiations.
The Labor Secretary said in
a statement that he and Joseph
F. Finnegan, director of the
Federal Mediation Service, have
been in contact with both sides
land we know that both labor
and management welcome the
opportunity to try again for a
negotiated settlement"
The union was first to suggest
reopening of negotiations. Its
president, David j. Mcdonald,
sent kilograms to 96 steel
companies, inviting them to
meet with union committees in
Pittsburgh Monday.
A short time later the II big
companies of the steel industry
proposed that the union meet

All About Billie.
The Girl Called
Lady Day"
by Dolores Calvin

NEW YORK CITY-As the
news spread around, each little
group began reminiseing about
Billie Holiday-the girl they called
Lady Day" and how untimely
her death came at Al. And yet,
as the old pros related, such is
life in showbusiness you live
fast and die young and at least
you get the headlines when you
90 And that much was true
for Billie Holidays death Friday
was headline news and even
though everyone knew her worst
faults and habits, all who saw
those headlines stopped a second
to feel sad and unhappy that such

was one blues after another.

was one blues after another. :.
But she had courage even the
nurses at Metropolitan Hospital
couldn't believe the courage she
had = in spite of being arrested
for possessing narcotics in the hos
pital she still figured to beat
the rap. Up until her death,
she was busying herself arranging
for musicians planning to APP
pear in a movie writing her APP
pealing life story and keeping
up with show business. 1t was
this energeticness which probably
brought on her relapse.
So now Billie Holiday is gone :
no more sad songs no more gar
denias and we remember always
loving her but hating her too for
being SO great and yet not allow
ing herself to enjoy fame not
letting herself be admired and
hailed and emulated as a great
person. . People who loved her
had to look over her tremendous
faults She had many big
friends and many phonies for
she never changed, right to the
end.
More than a thousand mourners
showed up Sunday to pay final
tribute to Billie within an hour
after the funeral parlor opened.
The funeral parlor where her
body lay in the chapel, was just
a few blocks from the Fifty
second street night clubs where
she reigned as a jazz queen more
that a decade ago.
She was buried Tuesday after
a Roman Catholic mass.

a great yet tortured soul was
gone.
At first there was rush for
her records - her newest albums
had showed a difference in her
voice but her fans stuck to their
guns that Billie was the greatest
anyway. Her single release and
albums made during her heyday
will be collectors items now and
just about everybody, whether
they liked her as a person or not,
wanted a song to remember Bill
lie by.
For she was one of those rare
people who always had rough
time never had a completely
sunny day and just when things
looked darkest and promise of
a new start was in view she died
That's the way Billie's life
always was one bad break after
another.
That's why she could sing the
blues with so much command :
she lived them. Her whole life

From Miss Turner down the

disciplined them to the per-
fectly deadpan recital Of some
of the most outrageous cliches
in the dialogue found in what
Is called "women's fiction"
The most resolute of the ac-
tors in this area of the film is
young John Gavin. Mr.. Gavin
plays Steve Archer. the tall
young man who keeps offering
Miss Turner true love until her
daughter grows up sufficiently
to make him the same offer.
As such, he is required to say
such lines as Hold on to your
dreams" THE next time I
might not be there to pick up
1.-THE pieces" and what do you
think / feel?"
Out of common decency, Miss
Turner should perhaps give a
moments thought at least to
what the poor guy does feel.
Instead. she keeps brushing him
off' with lines like 81 love the

there while she runs of to star

leap into stardom on Broadway
