BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Writer

| ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 28.-Leg-
islation that would have al
lowed underground gas storage
in the Brandywine area was
killed early today by the Prince
Georges County delegation.
After a six-hour closed meet
ing Lansdale G. Sasscer, jr.,
delegation chairman. said only
that the delegation had de
cided to table the bills for the
rest Of the session"
Throughout intensive ques-
tioning for more than 20 min
utes about the discussion and
the reasons for the delegations
action, Mr.. Sasscer refused to
comment further.
The legislation would have
given the Washington Gas
Light Co. authority to condemn
underground rights for the
storage Of natural gas 1000
feet below the surface. A COM
panion measure. described as
useless by the States top water
and geology expert. purported
to tighten regulations to assure
the safety Of the gas storage
operation.
Wheatley Participates
Senator H. Winship Wheat
ley, jr.. Democrat Of Prince
Georges. participated In the
closed-door session and con-
Cured in the decision, Mr..
Sasscer said.
The Senator had refused to
60 along with the delegation In
its decision TO INTRODUCES the
! gas storage measure.
Mr.. SasScer refused to say
whether the delegation was
split on tabling the measure.
The gas storage bill has de-
veloped more public interest
here than any other measure
affecting the Washington area. .
The delegation, for example,
received letters, cards and pc
titions signed by more than
10000 gas users in the county
urging passage of the legisla-
ton.
The delegation held a pub.
lie hearing on the measures
March Is, but never publicly
discussed them.
The gas storage bills were
not introduced until the sec.
ond week in March. On Marcn
2 Mr.. Sasscer said a meeting
would be held March 5 to dis
cuss the introduction OF the
bill. The day of the scheduled
meeting he told reporters a de-
cision would be reached at a
meeting the following day.
Private Meeting
Reporters learned, however,
that the delegation at a meet
ing held In a private apartment
the previous day had decided
to introduce the legislation.

Berlin Tieup
May Trigger
AIIiedActioin
BY EARL II. vOSS
Star 6taff Writer

The United States is con-
sidering a naval blockade Of
Russia in the Turkish Straits
and the Baltic Sea area to an
swer the Soviet Union II it cuts
OF the Vests access to Berlin.
This is one of the measures
short Of nuclear war this coun-
try recognizes it has at It's. dis
posal. officials here confirm, If
the Soviet Union goes through
with its threats to Gust the
West from Berlin.
No decision has yet been
reached on the point at which
such a serious conference.-the
would be ordered. The plan
may be discussed at the secret
sessions Of the NATO foreign
ministers here next week.
Turkey. which controls the
Bosporus and Dardanelles out
lets from the Black Sea, and
Denmark. which lies across the
Baltic Seas mouth at the Kat
tegat. thus could become key
nations in the Berlin crisis.
Now Part of Planning
American officials say the
naval blockades already are a
part Of this country's planning
process. But the decision to
put them into effort would be
reserved to "a time appro.
pirate"
Pentagon sources today also
confirmed that blockade plans
have been under discussion by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But,
they added. no definite plan
now exists.
The possibility of blockades
in the Baltic and Black Sea
areas is known to have been
discussed among members Of
Congress. Some Senator's have
advocated the move as a meas
ure short Of nuclear war.
They believe there also are
measures available, outside the
Berlin area. that would be less
provocative than a blockade.
Interference with Soviet ship
ping. various methods of
harassment and deliberate dis
plays Of military and naval
power have been mentioned. =.
Turks Ready to Aid
Turkey, long regarded as one
of the strongest anti-Commu-
mist members of the NATO al
lance, already has plans in
readiness for closing the
Turkish Straits to Soviet shibs.
Although officials recognize
that the Soviet Union is a
nearly self-sufficient land power
that could get along indefinite
ly without the Baltic and Black
Sea outlets, they see psyche
logical effects of a blockade at
least comparable to a Soviet
bloc effort to squeeze the West
out of Berlin.

A SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

1t would be interesting to have the knowledge of what the
word holiday" means to most people. What is the first
thought that flashes to the mind when the word is mentioned?
Time off the job with pay? A trip? An excuse to celebrate
with a group of friends? A tragic accident toll?
Christmas, which should have the spiritual meaning, is
one of the deadliest holidays of the year. 1t achieves this
terrible distinction because we want it to be such a wonderful
occasion.
tits a Holy and sentimental holiday. Many will drive long
distances for a family reunion, with icy roads and binding
snow storms to make travel dangerous. More travel = at high
speed - means more accidents.
The Holy and Joyous is too often sought in liquid form.
The deadly mixture of the throttle and the bottle has dimmed
the true radiance from the star of Bethlehem.
Church leaders have asked, during this Christmas
season, to point out that accident prevention is really religion,
and that good will towarsdlren can find no finer expression
than behind the wheel dnins car.

operations n some people are fearful that
they might try to lobby against its adoption.
Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield limited at this new
development in an address before the convention of the National
Association of Postmasters.
"I am not given to ar-gazing nor am I much of an umrealis-
the future that will amaze you. The next step in mail
service will be as revolutionary and as progressive as anything
yet achieved"
Congress will surely come under great pressure to keep the
Post Office operations along conventional lines. The issue of
government encroachment in areas of private business, which
was fought so bitterly during the New Deal era, may be fought
all over again in the next few years.
. BUY AMERICAN-The governments new insistence that
foreign countries spend as much of the money they borrow from
the United States as possible in this country can be credited
to Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson.
Anderson reasoned that the American economy should at
least benefit to that extent from the loans. particularly as they
represent a further imbalance in our unfavorable balance of
trade.
The State department objected to the new policy but Ander-
Anderson's clinching argument was that it would check the out
flow of gold and dollars and therefore would be antiinfationary.
. IKEpS HOTEL-One of President Eisenhowers very favorite
persons is Bobby Jones, the great golfer of yesteryear, who con-
ceived and resides at the famed Augusta course.
Jones came to Washington to present the Welcome Mot
President with a replica of his famous putter !. o.. e.
calamity Jane" Ike was deeply touched.
He was seated a little away from Jones at Bobby Jones
the White House Correspondents dinner where
the presentation was made.
But he leaned over to Vice President Nixon and told him to
tell the old pro that "on1y one hotel in all of Washington win
accept him the next time he comes to Washington, and I run
