compromise from Senator Pas

both District spending funds
and the Federal payment by
$133, 900. Mr.. Morse suggested
the same figure as the most
modest of three proposals.
The Oregon legislator. how
ever, left compromise in the

speech in which he expressed
appreciation for the Pastore
proposal. but indicated strongly
he did not consider it a must.

Senator Morse charged city

POLICE BOAT, CAR
JOIN IN ARREST
FOR RIVER SPEED

The combined efforts of
a harbor police boat and
a scout car were needed
yesterday to arrest Rich
ard c. Harrington, 81, of
the 8l00 block Park boule-
ward, Forestville, Md, on
a charge of speeding on
the Potomac River.
Pvt. Henry j. Olenichak,
who was in the patrol boat,
said he saw Mr.. Harring-
ton cruising about IL miles
per hour off Hains Point
in a zone restricted to 6
miles an hour. He at
tempted to wave him down,
he said. but Mr.. Harring-
ton merely waved back.
He said the speeding
boat turned around, passed
the tip Of Hains Point and
went into the Anacostia
River, well out in front of
the slower patrol boat.
Meanwhile. a scout car
crossing Sousa Bridge saw
Mr.. Harrington's 15-foot
outboard pulling into a
boatyard at the foot of M
street Sc, just as Pvt.
Olenichak radioed he was
chasing the outboard. The
patrolmen held Mr.. Har-
rington at the dock until

Until he saw those pictures,
the Rambler's idea of the
threat to Rock Greek was
that some day it will be made
into a traffic artery. After
seeing them, he realizes that
floods are a real threat also.
The flood pictures, which
were taken by Barney Frank
of the Forest Service over the
past few years, were terrific
Beach Drive, a flowing
river; pavement left torn as
the waters receded; picnic
tables in the middle of the
stream; Fairgrounds under
several inches of muck.
And the pictures of the
cause of the recent floods
were convincing. Everyone
knows water flows off a roof
faster than off a pasture.
More and more of the water
shed north of the Capital is
becoming roofs instead of
sod.
And furthermore vast high
way projects like the Route

leave millions of tons of loose
soil ready to be washed down.

The suggested cure was two
large earthen dams in the
upper reaches of the stream.
The Rambler is all for it.

Cornerstone Placed for New
District Rehabilitation Center

The District Society for
Crippled Children today cele-
brated the cornerstone laying
for its new rehabilitation center

streets NV.
John w. Thompson. jr., presi-
dent of the society and associate

for use by the fall school term.
The overall program of the So
ciety includes clinical treat
ment and education for about
$50 handicapped children.
The center, which is presently
located at 101 Riggs road NE,
deals mostly with children
crippled by cerebral palsy.
Following an invocation by
the Rev. j. Paul Seltzer, asso-
ciate pastor of the Lutheran
Church of the Reformation on
Capitol Hill, Mr.. Thompson
read a letter from Senator Hill,
Democrat of Alabama. The cen-
ter was partly paid for out OF

of handicapped children and
the parents of these children
who have in the past found new

children attending the school

No date has yet been set for
the start of the construction,

The broad outlines of the
church and associated buildings

Senator Douglas, arguing
against the Glover : Archbold
parkway proposal, charged that
the city's natural beauties"
were being swallowed UP and
destroyed by construction OF
roads and parkways.
"a tremendous number of
beautiful trees will have to be

told the Senate.
Senator Douglas challenged

Senator Douglas also asked
whether city freeway plans
weren't currently undergoing
'at least two studies and noted
that most of the affected land
was donated to the park sys-

brought out that completion

Senator Pastore quoted Gen,

that the Appropriations COM

Washington is a great
world center Of information.
Much Of the work Of the
Government departments is
gathering and compiling in
formation.
In addition 1t is the favor
ite convention city for organ
izations interested IN our
natural resources.
For instance, a relatively
new organization, the Ma
tional Watershed Congress
which was organized five
years ago, is convening at the
Statler- Hilton.
The Rambler stopped in
yesterday. Always interested
in far-away places, he hoped
to obtain the megagallon rate

River through Hells Canyon
or the annual emulation Of
silt above Hoover Dam on the
Colorado.
He's been interested in
watersheds ever since he had
to memorize the tributaries
of the Missouri In sixth-grade
geography. Children don't
have to recite that any more.
Too bad.
But the exhibits on display
and the papers read at the

congress is more interested in
soil conservation.
Inc papers included a Re-
port Of the Mule Greek Pilot

Committee members also said
the plan envisioned UNDER

is that the underground area
will park more than 1000 cars.
Escalators and ramps will
lead from the parking areas to

The proposed site is 2.8 miles
from the present location of

Access to the church grounds
will be by approaches on Mas

avenues and Ward circle.

new location is in an area

members in the present congre-
cation live. Members living in
Virginia will be able to reach
the new site more quickly than
the present Connecticut avenue.
location by driving across either
Chain or Key Bridges.
Must Act on Move
DR.. Blake in a statement to-
day said, "The Washington City
Presbytery, under whose juris-
diction the congregation is, has
been informed of the purchase
but no action is before the
presbytery at this time on the
relocation of a congregation"
According to Presbyterian
law. the moving of a congre-
cation has to be approved by
the presbytery to which it be-
longs before the relocation can
take effect. This application
undoubtedly will be made at
the proper time.

of Presbyterians held services
in d carpenters shop on the
what is now the White House

st. Andrews Church, was or

The Rambler recalled his
first airplane ride. It was
in 1925 in an open cockpit
plane from Buffalo to Cleve-

him.
One was the narrow neck
of land between Mayville on
Lake Chautauqua and West
field on Lake Erie, only 4
miles wide.
There's aswatershed a story
for you. Rain falling on that
strip goes either into Lake

legheny and the Ohio into
the Mississippi and the Gulf
of Mexico. The rain, on that
narrow strip reaches salt
water in CULTS more than

The other was how straight
are the farmers burrows.

practiced then.

by the House Rules Committee
will in great part shape the
bill. The Rules Committee will
hold a hearing Tuesday at the
earliest. Floor debate will begin
late this week, or next week.
President Eisenhower last
week in effect Endorsed the

Minority Leader Haleck is
rounding up Republican votes
for this substitute. House
Speaker Rayburn, it is under
stood, supports the committee

The Associated Press said the
new Rackets Committee report
will be filed well before the
end of this week, and will con-
tain charges that the under
world dominates TeamsterS
Union affairs. Charges against
the Transfers and Mr.. Hofa
inspired the clamor for re-
form legislation.
Counsel Kennedy said the
report contains no specific
recommendations on details of
cleanup legislation. Committee
sources said the report was not
delayed to coincide with House
debate. The report is overdue,
but these sources said the COM

now to complete it.

Clellan, Democrat of Arkansas,
has Endorsed the Landrum-

who backs milder legislation,
