Moves in Latin America and Far East
Cited as Khrushchev Seeks Summit

The Soviet Union is in
tensifying its intimidation eff
forts TO assure the holding Of
q summit conference.
The chances of reaching
any tangible agreements at
the Big Four foreign minis
tiers conference when 1t re-
sumes July 10 in Geneva are
very remote. Moscow and
London have now Joined
Washington and Paris in this
view.
Premier Khrushchev agreed
to the holding Of what he
described as the meeting Of
the clerks" only as a sop
to the Western powers. He
promised British Prime Min
lister Macmillan not to OPP
pose the Geneva parley. In
return the Briton pledged to
convince President Eisen-
hover Of the absolute neces-
sity to attend the summit.
While not neglecting diplo-
matte maneuvers, Khru-
shchev took his own blackjack
measures to achieve his goal.
Recent developments in Lat
in America. especially in the
Caribbean, and in the Far
East are a clear indication
that the Red dictator hopes
to soften the administration

Tense areas-the back yard

Mr.. Smith was determined to

he has a full-time job. he has
succeeded in keeping his five

They do their own laundry,

1t to be.
There are many things Mr..
Smith can't give his children.
His income is not large. The
family lives in a badly crowded
neighborhood. There is no
playground near their home,
so the children play in the
street.

The District is running out
Of time for submission of an
approved plan for Northwest

The Housing and Home FL
nance Agency has set a July IL
deadline for the city to submit
a plan. approved by thr COM
missioners. for the 82-acre
project.
If the deadline is not met,
HHFA is free to cancel a guar
antee Of a $6.651.l1l Federal
grant to help finance the prof.
ect.
A required public hearing by
the. Commissioners has been
delayed because of legal ques-
tons raised by the corporation
counsel's office.
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Thomas K. Fullerton.
who heads the Districts urban
renewal effort, said it is unlikely
that the project plan can clear
the Commissioners by July IL.
In that case. he said, the Dis
trict will have to ask HHFA
for more time.
An official for HHFA said it
Is the agency's position that a
jurisdiction should be able to
offer an approved plan within
the designated time limit.
If the fund reservation is
voided. he said. the Jurisdiction
would have to get in line be-
hind the other applicants for
the Federal project money.
The official said the agency
gives the jurisdiction two years
from the time HHFA approves
the application for project
funds. The exact deadline was
set on the basis Of a four
month period from the time
HHFA approved the plan in
the form submitted March IL
by the Redevelopment Land
Agency.
The Federal Government pays
two-thirds of redevelopment
costs and the locality finances
the balance.
Last November, Col. Fuller
ton asked he corporation coun-
sells Office for an opinion on the
plan. This ruling has not yet
been submitted to the Commits
sioners.

Arlington Intensifies

star star Writer

Arlington County Is going 70
step up its sewage treatment
program In an effort to keep
any county pollution from
reaching the Potomac River.
Frederick H. Doe, IT,. chief
of the county's Sanitation
Division. said the long orange
Arlington program would en-
able the county eventually to
send practically no pollution
into the Potomac or any
county streams.
The new schedule calls for
adding secondary treatment
facilities at the county's sew.
age plant in 1865. five years
earlier than previous estimates.
The schedule. filed with the
county planning commissions
long-range capital improves
ment committee. provides for
selling bonds to finance the
IS million project during the
1884 fiscal year.
First Date Was 1870
Earlier. county officials had
set 1870 as the target date for
installing secondary treatment
facilities.
The county now provides
only primary treatment to the
Is million gallons Of sewage
flowing daily through the
plant. The plant discharge
goes into the Potomac near
National Airport.
Secondary treatment will
provide a much larger degree
of publication.
Arlington has been accused
by some critics Of being dilatory
in providing additional treat
ment.
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg has denied the county
is dragging its feet. and said
that the Potomac River pollu-
ton load from Arlington 10
small compared to that of the
Districts.
Conferences Held
The State Water Control
Board. which was set UP to
control stream pollution. has
had county officials in for con.
ferences on the matter. The
stepped-up schedule for sec.
ondary treatment facilities has
been filed with the State board.
A bond issue to finance the
project would have to be APP
proved by county voters.
The county several years ago
acquired land for expansion at
the plant on Glebe rozd. The
land is sufficient for the sec
ondary facilities as well as a
So million enlargement tenta-
lively scheduled for 1885 to
meet increased population.
The schedule filed with the

tee also calls for spending ST.
685.000 in fiscal 1872 for a
relief trunk sewer from the
Rosslyh area along the
Potomac to the plant, and
5000 in fiscal 1923 for a
relief trunk line along Four
Mile Run upstream to South

county would spend another
100000 to extend the Four

The relief trunks will elimi-
