The Montgomery County Lii
brary System has added a rent
al service for the most sought
after books on its shelves.
It does not replace the free
service, but makes extra copies
of best sellers available more
quickly to patrons willing to
pay a rental fee.
At present, six of the county's
II library branches offer the
rental service, according to
George B. Moreland, county
library director. They are in
Bethesda, Silver Spring. Wheat
on, Four Corners, KenSington
and Rockville.
Widely used elsewhere in pub
lie libraries, the rental plan
has been in operation in the
county since August Is.

BroyhiIIA Asks
Earlier Use
Of Parkway

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, has asked
Federal highway officials to
move up the october 81 OPEN
ing date for the extension of
the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway.
Noting that much Of the
remaining construction work
required would not prevent
auto traffic from enjoying al
most the full benefit this new
road will bring" Mr.. Broyhill
suggested priority be given to
work still remaining on a con-
nection to Spout Run drive and
the Langley Bridge.
Il hope you will place a pri-
ority on these items and any
other work which might pres
emily prevent use of the park
way and complete the other
details such as directional signs
after the road is placed in use,"
the Congressman wrote Bert
ram D. Tallamy, Federal high
way administrator.
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
with the end of the summer
vacation season there will be
an immediate heavy increase
in commuter traffic between
Virginia and the District" fol-
lowing Labor Day.
He added that the parkway
extension viii! provide an at
tractive view of the Potomac
River as we'll as a means of
moving traffic rapidly.

Plans for bus routes over the
George Washington parkway to
the Central Intelligence Agency
at Langley, Va, have heen
blocked by the Interior Depart
ment.
The Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co. wants to
take construction workers to
the CHA site over the Memorial
and Key Bridges when the
parkway section between Spout
Run in Arlington and Langley
opens in october. 1t wants to
continue the routes when an
estimated 10000 employees are
moved to Langley from Wash
ington early in 1861.
The Interstate Commerc.
Commission originally had ap-
proved bus routes over the
parkway, but reversed itself
after the Interior Department
objected. Another ICC hearing
is scheduled for September ID
I'VE think it's premature to
decide on bus routes until the
parkway is completed and tests
on traffic volumes have been
made" a department spokes-
man said.
In addition. Interior con-
tends that neither the present
parkway nor the new section
was intended for heavy anC

adult books are placed on the

The library director said rev.

is expected to defray the cost
of the additional books. Using
the scent a day rate, library

The WYNN application has
been approved by Arlington
County and the State. But the
parkway, including the Spout
Run section, is administered by
the National Capital Parks. a
division of Interior.
The bus company has the
right to use Canal road NV.
and Route 1913 to Langley from
Washington. This route, con-
tends the department is ade-
uuate for transporting the con-
struction workers, who are ex-
pected to total about 1900 by
next summer.
The WV&M also wants to
use the Spout Run connection
to carry North Arlington COM
muters into Washington. The
company contends the route
would cut three minutes from
schedules which now operate
via the Lee highway.
The Interior Department OBJ
iects that Spout Run was not
built for buses and its sharp
curves would be dangerous.
Buses now can go between
Memorial Bridge and Mount
Vernon, but not toward Ross
Ign in the other direction. A
spokesman for the department
said that the parkway was
constructed as a scenic drive
rather than for carrying heavy
traffic.

chase of about 800 copies of 80

A car full Of lettuce was

Some of the cars that were

Mr.. Collinson didn't seem too

Arlington Unit Hits
Sewage Plan Site
Scores Congress
On Selection
Of Brood Run

The Federal plan to let
treated sewage flow into the
Potomac above the area water
supply intake received scathing
criticism yesterday from the
Arlington County Board.
Congress. said Chairman
David L. Krupsaw, was guilty
Of cynical breach of faith"
in ignoring its own legislation
which had provided for Fed
eral cooperation with local
communities over the hendl;ng
of sewage.
A $750,000 sewage treatment
plan has been approved by
Congress for the Cnantilly
(VaJ Airport site. Treated
sewage would be dumped into
nearby Broad Run and flow
into the Potomac. Congress
dropped, an earlier plan to
spend $2.6 million to channel
sewage into the Districts
treatment plant at Blue Plains.
Board Vote Unanimous
Board members unanimously
voted to transmit their objec-
tons to the Broad Run plan
to Virginia members of Con-
greSs, to the Department Of
Health, Education and Welfare
and the State Water Control
Board. Arlington Delegate Har-
rison Mann last week asked
the State board to deny an in.
stallation permit for the Fed
eral sewage plant at Broad
Run.
The county board indicated
it will ask that the original
plan to send the sewage to
Blue Plains be adopted.
Similar requests have been
made already by officials from
the District, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties in
Maryland.
Krupsaw Cites Act
Mr.. Krupsaw pointed to the
1856 Water Pollution Control
Act passed by Congress which
provided that any Federal
agency which operates an in
stallation must cooperate with
local Jurisdictions to prevent
water pollution.
The plan to use Broad Run
contraoicts that act, said Mr..
Krupsaw.
I'VE don't want offluent
above our water supply no
matter how purified or per-
fumed it may be-" he said.
Federal officials have adj
mitted the Broad Run plan
might affect the taste of the
drinking water.
Cites Pollution
County and municipal off,
Gals had previously agreed DOT
to dump any sewage in tue
Potomac above the water in
take.
The Federal Government has
spent considerable sums Of
money to purify the Potomac.
observed Board Member Lucas
Blevins and then turns around
and pollutes it,"
Mr.. Blevins noted that about
5000 employees are expected to
be employed at the Dulles In
ternational Airport within five
years. Member Ralph Raul
added that considerable COM
mercial and industrial develop.
ment will soon appear around
the airport, requiring much
larger sewage facilities than
the present Broad Run project
will supply.

Byrd Adanlant
On Massive
Resistance
Almond Absent
As Senator Tulks
At Annual Picnic
BY a star stan writer

4
ginia's Democratic organiza-
ton. said today he still stands
solidly for massive resistance
to school Indignation.
Thus. the Senator sharpened
the break between massive re-
sistance advocates and the ad-
ministration Of Gov. Almond.
Senator Byrd's words I'M
doubtedly gave comfort to
Southside segregationists who
have vowed to fight the more
moderate course into which
Gov. Almond had directed the
state.
At Annual Picnic
Speaking at his annual pic
mic here In his extensive apple
orchards, Senator Byrd de-
clared:
II stand now as I stood when
I first urged massive resistance.
believe now. as then, that it's
either massive resistance or
massive Indignation"
Gov. Almond passed up the
Senator's picnic. Senator Byrd
told reporters that the Cover
nor sent word through House
Of Delegates Speaker E. Black
burn Moore. a Byrd lieutenant,
that he could not attend be-
cause he is on a budget tour
Of State institutions.
Massive resistance supporters
are expected to make an at
tempt next year to get the
General Assembly to throw out
the more moderate freedom
OF choice" program charted by
Gov. Almond.
Sticks to Program
Senator Byrd said that he
was sticking by massive resist
ance despite the fact that the
program, which has been
thrown out by the courts, "has
been bitterly denounced" in
many sections elsewhere in the
Nation and even by some in
the State.
II have felt it my duty to
give the best advice of which
I'm capable. At least under
massive resistance, and even
the opponents will admit this,
Virginia remained segregated
for five years and stood up
against the Supreme Court and
the NAACP."
DeSegregation occurred in
four Virginia localities last year
after State and Federal courts
knocked down the massive re-
sistance program which closed
several schools last fall to
avoid indignation. This year
several more schools will be
desegregated.
Senator Byrd denounced the
Supreme Court, the NAACP.
and the Justice Department.
Other Laws in Peril
He said the NAACP will not
be content with token integra-
ton of the schools, and said
that the "unholy alliance of the
NAACP and the Federal Gov
eminent" intends to break
down other State racial laws.
He said the next attack will
be on laws which prohibit
mixed marriages.
Senator Byrd praised white
residents of Prince Edward
County for their adjustment
of public schools rather than
submit to enforced integra-
ton"
prince Edward has taken the
only action it could take. The
action is courageous and it was
thoughtfully and we'll con-
sidered. The brave citizens of
that county are true to the
faith of their fathers"
The Prince Edward County
Board of Supervisors voted not
to appropriate funds this year
for public schools because it
was threatened with integra-
ton.
The Senator said he favors
a strong labor bill and called
the Senate vote scheduled
Tuesday to direct Senate con-
ferees to support the strong
House labor bill one of the most
vital to our country"

Minnesota Legislature
Opposes Ike's Special
Coop Tax Plan

ST. PAUL, MINI. = (CNS) - By
resolution, the Minnesota Legislature
has made it clear the state opposes
administration plans for special CO.
op tax.
They asked Congress "to oppose
any measure that prescribes minimum
interest rates or maximum maturity
dates for securities that co-operatives
issue as patronage savings to their
patrons. Any such law would "ser-
iously hamper" co-ops.
State senators unanimously ap-
proved the resolution, and it carried
in the House with two, dissenting
votes. Governor Orville Freeman
signed the protest, March %.
Edward Slettom, secretary for
Minnesota Association of Co-opera-
tives, said, every farm, coop, and
credit union group in the state CO.
operated in putting this matter before
the legislature".
Noting that they'd made a, similar
plea in 1851, the Minnesota legisla-
tors asked Congress "to recognize
that indebtedness a cooperative or
other taxpayer owes its customers
is not income to the taxpayer, even
though it may be income to it's Gus
toner's.
They reminded President Eisen-
hover and Treasury Secretary Rob
ert Anderson that Congress has "thor-
oughly Investigated" the coop tax
position many times. "These sinvesti-
cations revealed that co-operatives
have faithfully abided by the prin-
,iples and regulations they're or
yanized under.

"Let me summarize.
"a majority of House Republi-
cans voted for every significant

better organized, as usual.

friends for voting with us for needed

the Republican party in their attempt
to brand the Democratic party as
'spendthrift' when heavy majority

voted for every significant appropria-
tion increase. - -r-
'While the Republican major
ity unhesitatingly approved of all
major appropriations, they voted
and spoke against practically all

"Their refusal to cooperate in at
tempting to bring about a balanced

members of the Ways and Means
Committee refused to sign revenue

nine-tenths of the increased budget

ity of the House membership voted
for each and every one of these bills.
"When these people voted on HB
532, which will permit our public
school systems to spend three and a
half million dollars more than they
did in the last biennium, thirty Re-

the bill, one of them didn't vote and
none of them voted against it.
"When these self-righteous, self
anointed defenders of the public
purse voted on HB 537, which in
