3 Per Cent Would Fail Short
He reported that the 1850
census disclosed that 8 per
cent of the dwellings in the
county would violate the pro-
posed ordinance.
1T indicates that about one
unit in SO was. in 1850, delapi-
dated or lacking in private

said.
This can be compared to the
District of Columbia's ratio Of

little evidence to indicate that,
housing units in Arlington are
overoccupied and crowded"
Would Require Repairs
Mr.. Lundberg noted, however,
that seven Virginia communi-
ties and 20l local jurisdictions
elsewhere in the country now
have minimum housing regu-
lations.
He said they could be used
to force installation of facilities
| necessary to healthful living
and to require repairs before
houses and apartments deteri-
crate so they cannot be rehabil-
itated.
The ordinance would author
ize imposition of 30-day Jail

was introduced by Representa-
tive Kirwan, Democrat of Ohio.
Originally. the Fish and Wild
life Service thought it could
locate the aquarium on the
Southwest waterfront. But now
it finds the 8 to IL acres needed
for an aquarium would take up
too much space on that water
front. So the service Is now
considering sites at Hams
Point, along the Potomac near
National Airport and along the
Anacostia River near the Naval
Air Station.
All Reached by Sea
All these areas can be
reached by seagoing vessels
q requirement since both salt
water and fish would come to
the aquarium directly from the
ocean.
II the aquarium Is built, it
will need some 8 million gallons
Of ocean water to start it OF.
Chesapeake Bay water is
neither salty nor clean enough,
according to Fish and Wildlife
Service experts. The ocean
water would be brought up the
Potomac or Anacostia in special
barges towed by tugs.
AS for the salt water flsh,
they will be netted gingerly at
sea, then put into the tanks
aboard the special ships which
will carry their swimming cargo
up the Potomac or Anacostia.
The 2 million gallons Of fresh
water needed probably will
come from a clean stream or
well. The drinking water in
Washington is not good enough
for'the fresh water fish to swim
IN because OF the chlorine con-
tent. The fresh water and fresh
water fish most likely will be
carried to the aquarium in
special tank trucks.
Sharks on List
Getting the fish into the
aquarium takes delicate and
experienced hands - especially
If the specimen is something
big like a shark. And sharks
are contemplated for the ma
tional aquarium in Washington.
The first thing done to a
shark before dropping it into a
tank is spraying the gills with
a tranquilizer. Next, the shark
is wrapped tenderly in a wet
blanket and lowered into the
tank.

Governor
Is Speaker

The Eisenhower admins
tration has met this country's
lag in the missile race with
"a lullaby" instead of "a
clarion call to action" Gov.
Meyner Of New Jersey
charged yesterday.
The Governor, who is occa-
sionally mentioned as a dark
horse possibility for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomina-
ton, addressed a luncheon
at the Women's National
Democratic Club.
"On the military front we
have seen our position become
shaker with each passing
year under Republican lead
ership," Gov. Meyner de-
clared. Soviet power has
hourished while we have
fumbled.
"Our military, naval and
air strength, essential not
only to defense but to con-
trolling 'brushfre' wars, has
seriously diminished and ap-
parently will continue to do
30.
I'VE are beguiled by soft
words like those Of Secretary
Gates who only last week
tried to convince us there
really was no critically large
missile gap-and this on a
."guesstimate" Of what Rus
sia's intention might be If
missiles had to be used, rather
than her capacity to deliver
them.
Ear more realistic to me
is the information we get
from quite reliable sources,
that Russia holds a 81 edge" I"
he added.
The shape of things to
come in the SOS will be
pretty well determined for
the entire Western world by
who is elected President Of
the United States next No
.vember, and a Democrat is
needed to do the job, the
New Jersey Governor said.
The Republicans appar-
emily have settled on Vice
President Nixon ."the darling
of the Old Guard and the
-undoubted captive of their
philosophy" as their presi-
Dental candidate, the speaker
observed. Mr.. Nixon, he
added. Is a man whose
ability and maturity are open

for cooperation in world trade

trade should be on a multi
lateral and non-discriminatory
basis.
In the Soviet Union, however,
International trade is entirely
a state-controlled monopoly.
Prices are fixed arbitrarily,
with no regard for economic
realities and usually with
purely political purposes in

These officials point out,
furthermore. that Russia has
had ample opportunity to CO.
operate in various international
economic programs but has not
done so. For example, the total
budget for the United Nations
technical assistance program
for this fiscal year is SIS mil
lion divided among 81 coun-
tries. Of the total, the United
States share is $40 million. The
Russian share is $12 million.
The Soviet Union, further

for membership in such devel-
