In his testimony, however.
Mr.. Chalk had protested mainly
against not being invited to
participate In the study.
A Northwest freeway link
between Tenley circle NV. and
the inner loop was opposed by
David Sanders Clark and Sam
uel Spencer. representing a
committee Of property owners
in Northwest Washington. Mr..
Spencer. appearing as an at
torney, formerly was president
OF the District Board of Com
missioners.
Declining to favor the Tenley
link. William E. Shepherd, of
the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation and the Committee of
100 on the Federal City, said
the freeway should be kept in
the plan but given a low pri-
ority.
Underground Parking Urged
Mr.. Shepherd urged Congress
to reconsider an underground
parking lot rejected last year
by appropriation committees.
and said a transportation cor
poration might well consider
establishing tolls on highways
and parkways.
The District Commissioners
were to be among late after
noon witnesses, and the COM
mittee will be waiting especially
for their views on the kind of
organization which Congress
might establish to carry an i'm
proved transportation program
forward.
Nearby Maryland's governing
officials testified yesterday.
Both Mrs. Stella B. Werner,
president Of the Montgomery
County Council. and Herbert
w. Reichelt, president of the
Prince Georges County Board
OF Commissioners, vigorously
supported a program of rapid
transit as well as improved
highways. Also, however, they
both warily steered clear of any
commitment to proposals for
establishment of a Federal cor
poration" to get the transit
program rolling. s
Tawes' Views Given
However, Maryland State
Senator Edward S. Northrop,
representing Gov. Tawes, made
a vigorous plea for an immedi-
ate start on legislation to set
up a Federal corporation to be-
gin planning and construction
OF a rapid transit system.
The Virginia and Maryland
Governors, he said, already have
formed a joint committee to
consider legislative approaches.
He urged that the Federal Gov
ernment-presumably Congress
and the White House-join this
group in a "joint drafting COM
mittee" to formulate regional
policy and draw tentative legis-
lation.
Senator Northrop said fatty
that both Maryland and Vir-
GINA feel that a controversial
draft prepared by New York's
Institute of Public Administra :
ton and Columbia University
for establishment Of the Fed
eral corporation will furnish
an excellent starting place for
the suggested intergovern-
mental drafting group"
Calls It Flexible
Lyle C. Fitch of the Institute
of Public Administration told
the committee the main fea-
ture of the corporation he
helped propose is its fiexibility
In other testimony:
Charles A. Horsky, of the
Washington Housing ASsocia-
ton, supported the proposed
freeway-rail system as "realis-
tic" and urged immediate steps
to insure rights of way for
future express trains or buses
in the middle strips of new
freeways.

'Beotnik' Police Seize
100 in Narcotics Raids

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (AP).-
A month-long masquerade by
five detectives posing as bearded
beatniks has set off a chain of
dope raids from Harlem to
Greenwich Village.
More than 100 persons have
been arrested. Narcotics valued
at 81 million have been con-
fiscated.
The beret-clad detectives
took such cool names as Cor
geous George" The Sailor
and Jamie the Queer" to shut
lie their way into beatnick
circles.
They walloped bongo drums.
They donned sandals and at
tended poetry-reading parties.
One of them even wrote a poem,
"Junkie'S Woe" He said it was
well ICOCAtCNs
They climaxed the plot by
inviting a few Of their new pals
to a big party. The astonished
guests learned on arriving early
yesterday that the address they
had been given was a Green
wich Village police station.
Their arrest set off chain of
raids that involved 140 mar
cotics squad police.
In the police station, at least
some of the beatnikS appar-
emily couldn't have cared less.
One upended a wastebasket and
beat out a rhythm. One
sketched the policeman who
arrested him, with horns above
his ears. The others chanted
and stomped their feet.
Bill Bailey, Negro tap-danc-
ing brother of singer-actress
Pearl Bailey, was nabbed in a
Harlem hotel room, where po-
lice said they found a deck OF
cocaine.
Others arrested included an
assortment of village charac-
tiers, an engineering student at
New York University, a SYM
phonic kettle drummer, a
homeless artist, and James
(Foots) Stewart, tabled by po-
lice as the chief Harlem dope
wholesaler. Stewart. a meek

India Sends Sharp Note
Peiping's note was delivered
to the indian Foreign ONCE a
few hours after India made
public a sharp message sent
to Red China six days ago &C
cusing the Communists again
of aggression.
The Indian cabinet, which
generally meets on Wednesday,
was called into session today
because Mr.. Nehru is leaving
on a tour tomorrow.
Mr.. Chou's note said:
e. the Chinese government
proposes that the armed forces
of China and India each with
draw 20 kilometers at once
from the so-called Mcmahon
Line in the east, and from the
line up to which each side ex-
ercises actual control in the

posed that "the two sides I'M

to be stationed in and patrol
the zones from which they have
evacuated their armed forces,
but still maintain civil admin

COntlnueu FROM tlrSC rage
Of the Northwestern crop for
1857, are being buried by bull
dozers in Oregon and Wash
ington. 1t will take until
Christmas to finish the job.
Commissioner Larrick said
that to date no information
exists to 'implicate the 1858
and 1859 cranberries grown in
Wisconsin, New Jersey and
Massachusetts," the other prin-
cipal growing areas. He said
an investigation is under way,
however.
FDA, he said, is undertaking
immediate investigations to see
if the chemical has been used
on other crops and whether
they too are contaminated.
Outline of Story
DR.. Flemming outlined the
cranberry story from its start:
The weed-killer was regis
tered with the Department of
Agriculture in 1858 for use on
cranberry boys a few days after
harvest. Unfortunately" he
said, many cranberry growers
used the, weed killer prior to
harvest of the 1857 crop. AS a
matter of fact, I understand
that some growers used the
pesticide even before the De-
partment of Agriculture had
approved directions for its use
on cranberry bogs."
DR.. Flemming said the con-
taminated 1857 berries were
withheld voluntarily from the
market by the growers after
FDA refused to establish a
residue tolerance for the weed
killer. The refusal he said, was
because no tests were made to
see what amount of the chem
ical, if any, is safe.
Little checking was done on
the 1858 crop by either FDA OF
the cranberry association, DR.
Flemming said, because "it was
believed that the withholding
of 3 million pounds of the 1857
crop from the market, plus the
warnings being issued by the
association to its members, y
would prevent further misuse
of the weedkiller.
Conclusion Reached in May
Last May it was concluded
that aminotriazole is a carcino-
gen Cancer producing AGENT
he said. FDA then began per-
fecting a method of swift de-
lection of residueS of the chem
lcal. The method was per-
fected only this month. The
cranberry association also
started a campaign of inspec-
.tions and analysis.
"Commendable though the
associations program is, it is
apparently not fully effective, "
DR.. Flemming said today.
Examination of the first
series of samples from the
newly harvested 1859 North
western crop was finished last
week. Two interstate ship
ments out of seven examined so
far have been found to be
definitely contaminated. Seiz-
ure by the Justice Department
is being recommended for one.
The other has been distributed.
Results on other lots are not
complete, DR.. Flemming said,
but indications are that I'VE are
likely to find additional con-
taminated lots in the 1859
crop"
In view of these findings, he
added, I'VE believe it reason
able to assume that the 1858
crop may also be contain
mated"
DR.. Flemming declared that
his announcement today "is a
serious action to take. But I
have no alternative on the
basis of the evidence we hold.
Even though only a small
portion of the chanberries may
be contaminated, it is my duty
to the public to present the
evidence" DR.. Flemming went
on. IT don't have any right to
sit on information of this
kind"

The note sent to Red China
last week was the sharpest at
tack Mr.. Nehru has ever made
formally against the Commu-
mist regime. He accused Peiping
Of aggressive attitudes "remi-
niscent of old imperialist pow
ers against whom both India

past"
He declared the Chinese
Communists cannot agree even
among themselves where the
border between India and Tibet
runs although they are claim
ing about 10000 square miles
of territory India regards as
hers.
India Will React

even Peiping's "own maps give
completely different and vary
ing frontiers"
The Indian government
pledged once more to continue
its endeavor to resolve all dis
putes by peaceful methods" 1t
called on the Communists to
remove their forces from In
dian territory and resolve Minor
frontier disputes by peaceful
methods.
But the note warned where
aggression takes place, the peo-
pie of India inevitably will have
to resist by all means available
to them"
