To Shakespeare, at least,
names weren't too important.
But according to Roosevelt
Smith, 46, 1864 Half street Sc,
a name can be an awful lot of
trouble, especially when it's the
same as many others in the
same city.
A Washington city directory
lists four Roosevelt Smiths; the
phone directory carries two.
The problems arise in many
forms, Mr.. Smith says. He
often gets the wrong mail, mis-
addressed bills arrive and calls
for other Roosevelt Smiths,
though amusing, are frequent.
But the most irritating-and
pensive-problem arises, Mr..
Smith says, because the city
can't keep his traffic record
straight. The police records di-

OF Freewuy
Is Involved
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE
Star stan Writer

A design contract for a six
lane, $13 million traffic tunnel
beneath the Lincoln Memorial
grounds as part of the Dis
trict's Inner loop" freeway
system has been awarded by
the National Park Service, Of
ficials announced yesterday.
The tunnel will loop around
the Potomac River side of the
memorial grounds. On the
south 1t will connect with In
dependence avenue and, on the
north near Constitution av-
enue. with District construction
of the inner loop freeway and
approaches to the new Theo-
dore Roosevelt Bridge.
Conrad L. Wirth, Park Serv-
ice director. said the tunnel
will be built to protect the
marble shrine's aesthetic values
from impairment by additional
traffic from future bridge and
highway construction"
The $135,000 design contract
was awarded to the engineering
firm of Singstad and Baillie, of
New York.
No Construction Date Set
Mr.. Wirth said no construc-
ton date for the tunnel has
been set, but that it would be
co-ordinated with District con-
struction of the loop freeway
and bridge approaches to the
north.
City highway officials said
their plans call for construc-
ton of these roads to be
started next year and COM
pleted by September, 1862.
Construction of the bridge APP
proach roads is being delayed
until the Central Intelligence
Agency vacateS temporary
buildings north of Constitution
avenue and west of Twenty
sixth street in the summer Of
1861, officials said.
The inner loop freeway is
designed eventually to encircle
downtown Washington. Under
an agreement with the District,
the Park Service is to build
sections south of Constitution
avenue through Federal park
areas.
AS part of this program, Mr..
Wirth said, independence ave-
nue. will be improved substan-
TALLY to handle heavy traffic
volumes from the new tunnel.
Two Drives Planned
He stressed that the tunnel
would disturb neither the
Lincoln Memorials founda-
lions nor the paintings on the
memorial terrace" Only a
portion of the 1,250-foot tun-
mel would pass beneath the
memorial grounds and none
under the memorial itself, he
said.

A revised system for the
security screening of defense
plant workers was ordered to-
day by President Eisenhower.
1t offers an opportunity for &C
cused workers to defend them
selves.
The Supreme Court struck
hard at the lack of such an
opportunity last June 90 when
1t knocked out the previous
screening program covering
3 million civilian workers in
private defense plants.
The court ruled out the pro-
gram on the ground that
neither Congress nor the Presi-
dent had authorized the SCREEN
ing Of workers. The ruling did
not affect employees of the Gov
eminent itself or those in
private plants who do not need
to have access to Government
secrets.
Mr.. Eisenhower acted without
waiting for completion of con-
gressional action on an indus
trial security measure. A secu-
rity bill passed by the House
is pending in the Senate. 1t
would allow the Secretary of
Defense to set standards for
access of any contractor or en-
ploye to secret information.
No Hearings Held
The chairman of the Senate
Constitutional Rights Subcom-
mittee. senator Hennings,
Democrat of Missouri, had
asked that no executive order
be issued until his group could

ment officials on the program.

of access to classified defense
information will protect the
Nations security while giving
the maximum possible safe
guards to individuals affected
by it.
The order provides that de-
cisionS under it shall in no
sense determine the loyalty of
individual workers.
Provisions of Order
Under the order:
/. A worker will be given an
opportunity to reply to any de-
tailed statement of why he may
be refused access to secret in
formation.
2. An opportunity will be Of
fered for a worker to appear
personally in support of an APP
plication for access to classified
information.
3. The applicant will be al
lowed to crosS-examine persons
who have made adverse state
ments about him on disputed
questions of fact.
Limited exceptions to this
general rule on cross-examina-
ton are expressly set forth in
the order. When these excep-
tons are invoked, a final de-
cision adverse to the applicant
can be made only by the head
of the Government department
based upon his personal review
of the case.
The order provides additional
safeguards. the White House
said, adding:
IF. for example, the infor-
mant is a confidential intelli-
gence agent, the head of de-
partment or investigative agen-
cy must so state and also GER
tify that disclosure of his iden-

West Agrees
On Missiles
Control Plan
5 Nations at Odds
On Other Phases
Of Disarmament
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star stan Writer

A three-step plan for control
Of long-range missiles Is the
principal point Of agreement
reached so far by the five
Western nations meeting here
to prepare a common position
for the March IS opening of
the 10-power disarmament
commission in Geneva.
In the first step. nations pos
sessing long-range missiles
would be required to give prior
notice Of all launchings. There
would be no international in
Spection system but there would
be exchange Of information on
the sites Of launching pads.
In the second step, missile
launchings would be prohibited
under international inspection.
In the final step, the missiles
themselves would be strapped.
This, officials say. would come
late in the general disarma-
ment process. No nation would
be deprived of its retaliatory
capability. or deterrent. until
international control provisions
had been worked out to prevent
aggression.
u. s. Stand Awaited
Other important features Of
the Western disarmament plan
still await agreement on a final
position by the United States
and resolution Of various diff
ferences among the allies.
High-ranking representatives
Of Britain, France and Italy
we're leaving Washington this
week end. Despite the agree
ment on missile control, they
we're disappointed that in their
two weeks of talks here they
have been unable to make fur
ther progress because no United
States position could be tabled.
The State and Defense De-
partmentS have been unable
to agree on a common United
States plan to fill in impor-
tant points of the general dis
armament proposal advanced
by Secretary of State Herter
in his National Press Club
speech last Thursday.
The South American tour OF
President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary Of State Herter now
virtually assured that impor-
tant features Of the United
States flrst-stage disarmament
policy will not be resolved until
a few days before the 10
nation conference convenes.
The President does not return
to Washington until March 8.
Delivery Plan Adopted
Agreement on control Of
delivery systems, a feature
pressed by Jules Moch, French
disarmament expert. at the
United Nations last fall, came
during the last two weeks
discussions among the five
powers representatives meet
ing in Washington.
1t is expected that the first
two disarmament steps in the
long range missile field would
be taken during the opening
stage of Secretary Herter's
broad plan outlined at the
Press Club. The third step
would be taken in the second
stage Of his plan.
Mr.. Herter described the two
stages this way:
Urgently. otry to create a
more stable military environ

that it would be fruitless for
the Democrats to "try to OUT
Nixon Nixon" Senator Hum
phrey has been going after
him with all the uninhibited
vigor that in the old days used
to mark the Vice Presidents
own PARTISAN appearances.
Thus, Mr.. Nixon gets in the
papers all the time, even
though he plans no strenuous
campaign swings, such as this
present Western expedition, in
the next few months. He will
lay back to study the issues
and to formulate his party's
platform, a luxury denied his
rivals.
Most Importantly in the COM
ing months, he will be over
seeing the formation of Nixon
clubs which will be springing
up all over the country in the
near future. Already 500 such
clubs are in being. They are
organized on a regional au-
'tonomous basis, and so far
have no central direction.
