Bureau of International Ex-
positions in Paris that the
United States wishes to reserve
1864 as the date of a worlds
fair in this country.
The bureau meets next week
when it is expected to get a
formal United States proposal
that it take official cognizance
of an American worlds fair so
that its % member nations
would participate in it.
The United States is not a
member of the international
bureau. The bureau regulates
dates of expositions and estab-
fishes procedures its member
nations must follow.
A State Department spokes-
man said the United States is
acting quickly to inform the
bureau of the 1864 plans be-
cause France, Austria and
Canada have indicated they
might bid for dates in the mid
1960S.
The spokesman said the
American Embassy in Paris
transmitted to bureau officials
details of the machinery Pres
ident Eisenhower established to
determine whether there should
be q fair in the United States
and where and when it should
be held.
The presidential advisory
commission, appointed to study
the matter and make recon-
mendationS, held hearings last
week.
Bids for the site were made
by New York, Los Angeles and
Washington.
Following the hearing the
three members of the commits
sion said they felt the United
States should have a worlds
fair some time in the mid
1905 but a formal decision as
to the site has not yet been
made.
Washington hackers presented
a plan for a $3.50 million fair
to be located near Largo. Nd,
in Prince Georges County.
Constructed on a 6,000-acre
site, the fair would become the
core of new permanent city.
1t would include an interna-
tional trade and industry eX-
hibit center that would be,left
standing once the fair ends.
The new city would be expected
| to attain a population Of
100000.

Mr.. King observed that the
fires had been "magnified out
of all proportion by some par
ents-actually no flames existed
at any time, and even the
amount of smoke was very
small"
The fires were set in metal
waste receptacles by a ninth
grader, described as suffering
from severe emotional problems.
He has been indefinitely sus-
pended.
The fires were described by
Mr.. King as mostly smoke"
and at the time, he said he did
not consider them large enough
to report to the Montgomery
County Fire Marshal, police or
school authorities.
Since then, Mr.. King added,
he has learned that IF there
is a wiSp of smoke anywhere,
the building must be evacuated
flrst-and we look afterwards"
Boy Seen Running Away
He said the first incident
occurred Thursday in a boys
rest room on the third floor,
when a lighted match thrown
into trash barrel happened to
land among damp paper towels
and only a small amount of
smoke resulted. The fire ex-
tinguished itself, Mr.. King de-
clared.
On Friday, there was an
identical fire in the same place
and a boy was seen running
from the school. In this Incl
dent. too, no flames were visible
and the resulting "smudge Of
smoke" was extinguished by
water thrown from a wash
basin.
A quick check of classrooms
revealed the identity of the
missing ninth grader, and au-
thorities found the boy at his
home.
The youngsters case was re-
ferred to the board of educa-
tons pupil personnel depart
ment.
Mr.. King described the 81
year-old junior high building
as highly inadequate" for its
Ills students. and said that
every precautionary measure
has been taken to insure a
maximum of compliance with
fire regulations. He said the
school was designed for $50
pupils.
The school was described in
a board of education meeting
Monday night as having struc-
tural defects which constitute
potential fire and safety
hazards"

Congress would create a Fed
eral corporation to attack
Washington m etropolitan
transportation problems, under
terms of a draft law made
public today.
The corporation could buy
or condemn land and mass
transit equipment. 1t could re-
view area highway plans, con-
tract to reserve highway strips"
for it's vehicles and divert
autos clogging major arteries.
Parking lots, hotels, theaterS
and shopping centers-in short
any facility that by its place
ment could move people and
goods faster throughout the
Metropolitan Area-could be
managed by the corporation.
Draft legislation was re-
leased by the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Washing
ton Metropolitan Problems.
Hearings Scheduled
In the form of a suggestion
rather than a solution. the
sweeping proposal will be
thrown up for public debate at
committee hearings starting
Monday, November 9.
Committee Chairman Bible,
Democrat of Nevada, has in
vited area leaders to begin tes-
tifying then on findings of a
mass transportation survey
completed this year. Congress
ordered the survey which rec
commended a $2.4 billion system
of freewayS, subways and ex-
press buses.
Eventually, this network
would be operated by an agency
set up by compacts reached by
Legislatures of Maryland anc
Virginia and Congress for the
District of Columbia.
Legislation proposed calls or
the corporation to start plans
by July, 1860. Within five
years, the corporation would be
dissolved and its function;
passed on to the operating
agency organized by compact.
Thus the draft goes further
than the survey findings. Legis'
lative language was drawn BY

Federal Agency Proposed in Bill
To Handle Metro 7 transportation

experts from the Institute of
Public Administration and Co.
lumbia University under a Ford
Foundation grant. The job took
nine months. And the product,
though designed for the Wash
ington area, was envisioned by
it's authors as a model mass
transportation law for urban
areas throughout the United
States.
For Washington residents the
proposed legislation raises more
questions than it claims to an
swer. Some of these are:
/. Should the corporation be
empowered to carry out a blue
print for speeding traffic or
should its powers be strictly
advisory?
Q. How broad may powers of
condemnation be?
8. Could the corporation take
over the Districts fringe park
ing lots and parking areas of
Federal agencies, including the
Pentagon lots? If so, what
would happen to the District
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
and its 50 million operating
surplus?
4. Should Maryland and Vir-
GINA be allowed to stop land
acquisition in those States by
the corporation?
A memo on the constitu-
tionality of the draft law is
being prepared for the Novem-
Der hearings. Congress could
justify its leadership in the
transportation field under its
constitutional powers to exer-
else exclusive jurisdiction"
over the District, to regulate
interstate commerce and to
provide for the national de-
tense, according to committee
staff aides.
AS drafted, legislation de-
fines the Metropolitan Area as
the District, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties in
Maryland, Counties of Airing
ton and Fairfax and Cities of
Alexandria and Falls Church
in Virginia.
The corporation would be
called the National Capital
Transportation Authority. The

Plant Backers
Fear Lossof
Big Navy Job
Alarmed at Report
OF Plans to Shift
$40 Million Pact

Persons close to the Naval
Weapons Plant were alarmed
today by a report that the Navy
is planning to shift to a civilian
firm a big $40 million electronic
contract previously slated for
the Washington plant.
The, report caused Gov.
Tawes and Representatives
Landlord and Foley, Democrats
of Maryland, to dispatch tele-
grams to Navy Secretary
FRANKIE expressing shock and
concern.
An authoritative spokesman
for the department stated,
however, there is definitely no
diversion of any work" from the
Weapons Plant, at least to one
big private manufacturing firm
which repeatedly has been an
Cling for the $40 million con-
tract.
Review in Progress
The same official pointed out
at the same time the Navy is
in the process of reviewing its
entire ordnance shore estab-
liShment." This by implication
could mean changes in the OPP
Grafton and work programming
of some of the Nays own
manufacturing plants.
The contract in question was
virtually promised to the Weap-
ons Plant here last summer
after last summer after Rep
resentative Landlord and others
fought Navy proposals that
would have all but ended OPP
erationS of the plant.
The $40 million job for build
ing electronic fire control sys-
TENS would keep the plant for
another three or four years.
Reports reaching the Gov
ernor and the members of Con-
gress this week indicated the
Navy since had changed its
mind and was now disposed to
award the job to private firm
in Massachusetts,.
Jobs at Stake
Gov. Tawes informed Secre-
tary FRANKIE he objects Sc
riously" to any change in the
original plan to give the con-
tract to the Weapons Plant
He pointed out that jobs for
300 Marylanders are at stake
Richard L. Still, adminiStra-
tive assistant of Representa-
tive Landlord, wrote that Mr.
Landlord is shocked by this
apparent breech of good faith
by the Department of the
Navy"
The telegram stated that the
legislator, a member of the
House Armed Services Com
mittee, wants a complete report
on the status of the contract
when he returns Friday from
an inspection tour of Turkey
Greece and Spain.
Mr.. Foley's telegram ex-
pressed similar concern over
what he understood was 9
change in the Nays plans.

1T MIGHT BECOME a

it AYERS, is the only State
which grows dried figs COM
mercially. And California
had 80 electoral votes in
1856.
Incidentally, the. report
reveals that the most i'm

the United States is in the
manufacture of fig bars. 1t
adds: For use in such bars,
dried figs are first converted
into fig paste by the dried
fig packers domestic or for

REPORT FROM LONDON - 5
Police Dogs Are Helpful Chaps

Rufus S. Lusk OF 1924 JET
terSon place NV, is tDeH
known in Washington as a
publisher OF real estate intor-
nation, a gourmet, Traveller,
president OF the Washington
Taxpayers Association and
inueterdte letter iDriter. He is
presently on a three-month \
tour OF Europe. Recently.
while in England. Mr.. Lusk
made a study OF the use OF
police dogs By the London
police and iDrote the tollotUing
letter to Police Chief Robert
v. Murray, tDho is about to
launch a police dog program
OF his DUN.
My Dear Chief:
A few weeks ago articles
appeared stating that the Po-
lice Department was looking
into the use of dogs in police
work. So ! decided that on
my next, visit to London a
rather thorough study would be
made of their use in that city.
Upon arrival an appointment
was made with Sir Joseph
Simpson, police commissioner.
He very graciously, together
with Assistant Commissioner
Waldron, in charge. of traffic.
discussed for over half an hour
in a simple and frank manner
the use of dogs and other police
work in his city. He then ar
ranged for me to spend a day in
actually observing how the dogs
'are trained, watching them in
action and actually tramping a
beat with a dog.
Let me summarize the set
up, the training and the results
of the use Of dogs in police work
in London.
100 "In Uniform"
There are 100 dogs on the
police force and IA in training.
During the six-month period
ending June 80 police dogs
made $50 arrests, assisted in
making 473, were present 486
times when an arrest was
made, but did not assist, and
eight times found missing per-
sons. In over 1000 recorded
instances these dogs helped
the police.
Let's take a look at two or
three actual dog police work I
cases:
ChaSe-ArreSt-At 1920 pm.
on April 26, as a result of a
call from Information Room
that suspects were on factory
premises at Is Bramley
road, Will, police dog Bruce
81 was taken by his handler
to the scene by police van.
AS the van was pulling up
outside the factory, the ham
dler saw a man run away
from a nearby stationary
motor van, and had made
considerable ground by the
time the handler and dog
alighted from the police van.
On command of his handler
Bruce 81 gave chase and
quickly overhauled the run
ming man, who stopped with
his hands raised above his
head. Bruce q did not at
tack, but stood by him,
barked, wagged his tail, I'M
til the arrival of the handler,
who took the prisoner back
to the stationary van which
was found to contain safe
(taken from the factory and
a large pair of bolt cutters.
The man was charged with
factory breaking.
