all three courts east of the

Sented some problems"
1T would be a tight squeeze
to get all three in, l think" Mr..
Floete said.
He explained that the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission and the Fine Arts
Commission would have to be
convinced the building near the
White House, subject to strict
height limits, could accommo-
date all three courts and still
preserve the historical charac-
ter Of the square.
But Mr.. Floete saw "practi-
cal advantages of manage
ment" in providing space for
all three courts in one building.
He urged prompt action by
the subcommittee on either one
of the two sites for all three
courts.
His own trepidation about
the Lafayette square location
combined with outright opposi-
ton from Senators Cooper, Re-
publican of Kentucky, and
Morse, Democrat of oregon.
appeared to give the Southwest
site a slight edge.
Il would oppose any proposal
for any Federal office building
east of Lafayette Square,"
wrote Senator Cooper, in a let
ter read at hearings. He said
functional Federal structures
that look like warehouses
should never threaten the tone
of the Lafayette Square neigh
borhood nor detract from the
White House.
Houses Graded in History
Speaking as a Washington
alderman" District Commit
teeman Morse maintained the
Madison ad Tayloe houses and
the Belasco Theater rested in
a cradle of American history"
around Lafayette Square.
Two Texans, Chief Judge
Marvin Jones of the Court Of
Claims and Chief Judge Eu-
gene Worley of the Court Of
Customs and Patent Appeals,
pointed to critical space needs.
But Judge Jones doubted
that the residence of Dolly
Madison in one house merited
its preservation in the face of
increased Federal building costs
it would necessitate.
With Associate Judge Bolen
B. Turner of the Tax Court,
the juriSts gave a dreary chron-
icle of efforts since the 1930s
to find space for their courts.
1T looks as if at first blush
we could get action" Judge
Jones said. But every time we
try something new, we get
blocked. I would rather stay
where we are near the White
House."

MoryIond's New Yacht
Ties Up at Annapolis

not altogether a pleasure
cruise. None of the eight leg
islators who started out at
I Miami was aboard at Annapolis.
Most Jump Ship"
State Senator Louis Phipps
stuck it out to Norfolk, where
the yacht has been tied up for
several days being painted and
having her sleeping quarters
rearranged.
Most of the legislators
jumped ship after the yacht
struck a mud fiat and damaged
her propeller soon after leaving
Miami. They couldn't wait for
repairs.
Three of them shipped on as
deck hands aboard a passing
42-foot cruiser headed for
Boston with only the skipper
aboard. The roll and pitch of
the Boston-bound boat was too
much for State Senator j.
Raymond Burlington of Balti-
more, and he got off after one
day and took the train home.
Will Cost Less to Maintain
The Sea Level, sparkling in
her new blue and white coat
of paint, will be used pri-
marily by the Department of
Tidewater Fisheries. 1t also
will be the State yacht of Gov.
TaweS.
"Maryland's area and re-
sources are to a large extent
in its waters and the boat will
be used to acquaint distin-
guished visitors with what
Maryland offers in this re-
spect," said DR.. H. c. Byrd,
head of the department.
DR.. Byrd and State Control
Ter Louis Goldstein rode the
ship up from Norfolk yester-
day. They pronounced her "a
good sea vessel, and much
faster than the Potomac" and
one that performs well in
rough water"
In addition. DR.. Byrd said
the new vessel, which draws
512 feet of water compared to
111a feet for the Potomac, will
be much more serviceable and
cost at least $4,000 a year less
to maintain.
The Sea Level sleeps 10 plus
the seven-member crew. Its
salon is richly furnished and
has a gold deep-pile carpet.
1000 Mile Cruising Range
A fantail lounge is furnished
with cane furniture and is COW
cred to keep out the sun and
rain.
Each of the five carpeted
staterooms has a shower and
the master stateroom has
tiled bathroom, three dressers
and a telephone.
The Sea Level has a cruising
range of 1000 miles. Its speed
is Is knots per hour, and it is
equipped with radar, gyrocom-
pass, automatic steering and a
radio direction finder.
Chief Engineer R. H. Wright,
who was engineer on the Po-
tomac for 13 years, said the
crew gave the Sea Level a two
day tryout at sea during the
run from Miami and "it came
through with flying colors."
The rest of the trip was up the
Inland Waterway.
The cook has an 30-cubic-
foot refrigerator to draw from.
and a big dining table will seat
about 10 for State functions in
the carpeted and curtained
dining area.
The ship formerly was owned
by the West Indies Fruit and
Steamship Co.. and was used as
an executive yacht.
The Potomac was sold to
Warren Toone of New Jersey,
who plans to use the 165-foot
vessel for charter cruises.

S.W. as an alternate to locating
the disputed building at Madi-
son place and H street NV
near the White House.
Thus, he sidestepped a tiff
with groups seeking to save
three old structures-the Dolly
Madison and Benjamin j. Tay-
loe houses and the Belascc
Theater-now standing on the
Madison place site bordering
Lafayette Park.
At the same time, he opened
GSA to attack by judges who
have been trying for decades
to clear plans for a new home
for the Court of Claims and
Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals.
Hearings Scheduled
These courts would be moved
into a proposed SIS million
building already approved by
the House Public Works Com
mittee on the Lafayette Square
site. The Senate subcommittee
called hearings on the plan to
satisfy eight Senators who have
introduced bills to preserve the
old houses and theater and to
study shifting the court build
ing to another but unspecified
site.
Mr.. Floete's idea for the
Southwest would set the new
court beside the Agriculture
Building and a $50.7 million
headquarters planned for the
Federal Aviation Agency and
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
The land is privately owned
But it is in a Federal taking
area" subject to condemnation
Also. 1t is in an area slated for
vast renewal and redevelop-
ment plans.
Mall Would Be Enhanced
"The new court would en-
hance the Tenth Street Mall
planned for the Southwest ano
would contribute notably to de-
velopment of the entire area >
Mr.. Floete testified before the
subcommittee headed by Sen
ator Randolph, Democrat OF
West Virginia.
The United States Tax Court
should be quartered in the new
courthouse along with the
Claims and Custom courts, ac-
cording to Mr.. Floete. This was
another change in his agency's
plans. The GSA proposal first
put the Claims Court in a Fed
eral Executive Office Building
slated for the block west of
Lafayette Square and this year
proposed to locate the Claims
Court with the Custom Court
in the projected building east
of Lafayette Square.
Costs Nearly the Same
The prospectus submitted by
Mr.. Floete showed that the cost
of providing a building for the
three courts either on Madison
place or in the Southwest would
be virtually identical-S12 mil
lion for Madison and $11.8 mil
lion for the Southwest site.
While land would have to be
bought in the Southwest, con-
Struction there could be of
granite rather than marble and
thereby save some money.

Ex-ButIer
Accepts
u. S. Job

LONDON, Aug. % (AP).
- Princess Margaret's ex-
butler has accepted a job in
the United States he says
will bring him more money a
year than a British cabinet
minister gets.
Mr.. Thomas Cronin, a.,
who quit the royal household
because he couldn't get along
with the princess husband,
Antony Armstrong-Jones, told
a reporter he is joining the
Dania (Fla.) Jai Alai Palace,
a Florida tourist center north
of Miami.
He says his pay will be
around $4,000 a year in ad-
dition to free food, clothing
and accommodation. Most
British cabinet ministers get
5000 pounds ($14,000) a year.
Mr.. Cronin's pay scale for
the Joneses was at the rate of
about $4,000 a year but he
stayed only Is days.
AS he slipped a whisky in
a seafront hotel at Freshwater
in the Isle of Wight. Mr..
Cronin went on to tell how
good his new Job is:
Before I start work early
in December I am being sent
on a Caribbean cruise on the
same route as Princess Mar
garet's honeymoon.
II also have been paid
$1,000 for signing the contract
for the new position"

Whitney among his former
employers. will be butler-host

would not entertain guests
