Missiles Chief
Sets Fund Plea
$l00 Million Rise
Sought in Budget
By WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

Space Administrator T. Keith
Glennan served notice on Con-
gress today that his civilian
agency will seek a substantial
addition to its 1861 budget to
speed the Nations super-booster
rocket programs.
In a statement to the House
Space Committee Mr.. Glennan
did not reveal the precise
amount he would ask in addi-
ton to the 1902 million already
provided in the 1861 budget.
However. he indicated that the
sum would be considerable. and
would hasten completion of the
Saturn clustered rocket project
by about a year.
1t was expected that Mr..
Glennan's supplemental request
would top 500 million, pushing
the total for the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration in the year beginning
next July to close to the billion
dollar mark.
Sees Space Race
Mr.. Glennan'S 4,000-word
statement carried another sur
prise. 1t was replete with in
dications that, regardless of
what President Eisenhower
might think. the space admin
istrator regards the space race
as a real one with the national
prestige riding on the outcome.
Mr.. Eisenhower said at a
news conference yesterday that
he did mot particularly" con-
slider that prestige was at stake.

we'll be faced with a choice
between outright surrender and
civil war.
In Algeria. what began as a
show of defiance by a few thou
sand fanatics has become a
general rebellion involving the
whole territory. The "insurgent"
group, once barricaded nerv-
ously in a confined downtown
area, now come and go as they
please while thousands demon
strate in support of the revolt.
Insurgents in Authority
In fact. to judge from reports
today there is no longer any
distinction between the Gin
surgents" and the rest Of the
population of Algiers. With
their territorial troops patrol
ling the entire city, they are,
in fact, the only effective
authority. Says the govern
ment-controlled Radio Algiers:
"Barricades do not separate
any more, they unite-they are
a connecting link between the
civilians. the militia and the
armed forces.
The army, while still pro-
testing its loyalty to President
de Gaulle. is making no pre-
tense of opposing the rebellion.

Data Cited
Senator Symington said he
knows of intelligence informa-
ton that leads him to conclude
that the gap is more serious
than National Intelligence
Board and Central Intelligence
Agency estimates say. He has
brought this information to the
attention Of the CIA, but official
estimates continue to grow
optimistic, he said.
The National Intelligence
Board gathers intelligence in
formation from all Government
agencies and draws official
conclusions. Senator Syming-
ton does not claim to have
intelligence information not
available to the NIB but he
said he is convinced that the
NIB's conclusions cannot prop
erly be drawn from the basic
information on Soviet capa-
bilities.
Congress has been shown
new conclusions, not new in
telligence information, to sup
port the administration position
that the missile gap picture
Is brighter this year, he said.
Asked for his own figures on
the missile gap. Senator
Symington declined to give
details. saying he did not want
to be accused Of compromising
intelligence information.

In Algeria

PARIS, Jan. 81 (AP).-Pres.
ident Charles de Gaulle's chief
representative in Algeria
pleaded with insurgent French
men today to lay down their
arms and end a general strike
against the policy of self
determination for Algeria.
Delegate General Paul De-
louvrier. the civilian adminis-
traitor in the North African
territory, deplored the four-day
uprising in a broadcast over
Army-controlled Radio Algiers.
Even as he spoke, the thou
sands of armed insurgents were
strengthening their shoulder
high barricades in the streets
Of Algiers.
Mr.. Delouvrier said no one
in Algiers wishes secession or
a government crisis.
Certainly I understand the
motives of those who, with the
courage of despair, have en-
trenched themselves to bear
witness for French Algeria" he
said. II know that these mo-
tives are shared by most people
here. Metropolitan France must
know this"
Feeling Is Widespread
This was the first official ad-
mission that rioting Sunday in
Algiers. in which 26 persons
died and about $50 were in
jured, was a reflection Of wide
spread sentiment and not the
action of a relatively few French
rightists.

Tax'FormuIa,'
Rhodes Says
Move for Higher
Federal Payment
Seen Jeopurdized
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star staff Writer

The House District Appropri-
ations Subcommittee may drop
the new tax formula" which
last year gained the District a
IS million rise in the annual
Federal payment to help meet
the city's bills.
Representative Rhodes, Re-
publican Of Arizona, a subcon-
mittee member, last night rut
blame for the possible action
on an effort by someone" to
take too much advantage of
the tax approach.
Mr.. Rhodes charged at the
windup session of the units
annual public hearings that
the attempt to set a formula
has backfired."
1T may have to be aban-
doned. I'm sorry about it." ne
said.
Representative Rabaut, Dem
ocrat of Michigan, subcom-
mittee chairman, commenting
after the session, did not COM
init himself fatty on the oues-
tion. But he indorsed Mr..
Rhodes criticism of the way
in which witnesses at the hear
ing used the formula in ar
guing for a Federal payment
OF S32 million, the amount off,
cially being sought for the
next fiscal year.
Tailoring" Scored
The subcommittee leader also
criticized city officials, who. he
charged. have tailored real
estate tax valuations for the
purpose of justifying a higher
Federal payment plea.
In substance, the formula
amounts to gearing the an
nual Federal grant to the
amount in realty taxes for
which the Federal Government
would be liable if its District
property holdings were taxable.
This yardStick was informally
adopted by the Rabaut unit
last year in recommending a
payment boost from $50 mil
lion to SIS million. Mr.. Rhodes
was instrumental in perSuad-
ing the unit to adopt this ap-
proach.
The subcommittee last year
calculated hypothetical tax
revenue from Federal holdings
at just under $25 million.
Since then. however, city Of
ficials have made their own
tax study. In recent closed
sessions they told the subcom-
mittee that, counting in the
effect of a 20-cent rise in the
realty rate contemplated July
l. the revenue from Federal
properties would total some S33
million if subject to tax.
The question arose at the
hearing when Mrs. BENJAMIN
Schiller of the District League
Of Women Voters used the $33
million figure in underscoring a
league plea for a larger Federal
grant.
Sees Unequal Increase
Mr.. Rhodes declared that the
assessed value of non-Govern-
ment properties. which recent
ly were revalued at the COM
mittee's instigation. had in
creased approximately 9 per
cent. but Federal valuations
suddenly went up approxi-
mately 81 per cent"
He charged that the squirt on
Federal properties occurred
latter someone found out there
was to be a formula here"
whenever any of you has a
tax assessment he feels is un-
just he has an appeal. But the
Federal Government doesn't
have any means of appeal" the
Arizon nan admonished Mrs.
Schiller.

session told a reporter the sub
committee made its own calcu-

Backers of Senator Kennedy
said today they have increased
hopes that Illinois will be the
next big State to swing behind
his drive for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
The Kennedy camp was
cheered by the decision of the
Illinois Democratic organization
to name Cook County Judge
Otto Kerner as its candidate for
Governor.
Judge Kerner, 81, is the pos
SCISSOR of a political name
widely known in Illinois. His
father was a State attorney
general and he. himself, has
been active in the Illinois Ma
tional Guard. He is a proven
vote-getter, who led the Cook
County slate when he ran for
reelection in 1858.
These were the reasons, Il
linois informants said today,
why Judge Kerner won the
organizations Endorsement.
But the prospective nominee
is a Protestant, and it is this
fact that makes his selection
significant for the Kennedy
campaign.

Naval Plant
Use in Space
WorkStudied

The Navy today began con-
sideration Of the use of the
Naval Weapons Plant here as
a space satellite facility.
Assistant Secretary Bantz
scheduled a conference with
his research and development
advisers and the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton at the Pentagon.
The meeting follows a request
by Representative Lankford,
Democrat Of Maryland, to the
House Astronautics and Space
Committee for a study into the
feasibility of using the plant
for such purposes. The COM
mittee. headed by Representa-
tive Brooks, Democrat of lou
isiana, has initiated the survey.
LayOff of 119 Due
The Navy announced yester-
day that l19 workers would be
laid of at the plant at the end
of February and added:
With the current work load
further substantial reductions
probably will be required at
two or three month intervals,
at least until next summer of
this year"
First reports stated that 1000
employees probably would have
to be laid off, but the estimate
now is almost double that fig
ure. There are nearly 5000
workers at the Government
owned facility. which has been
in operation for more than $50
years. 1t comprises 125 acres
Of densely located, very large
buildings with a network of
rail and water transportation.
Study Completed
Local No. 46 of the Ameri-
can Federation of Technical
Engineers has completed a
study of the possible use Of
the plant by NASA.
The plant. formerly known
as the Naval Gun Factory and
situated almost in the center
of Washington, could be used
by the Nations space agency
without a great deal of alter

that the Navy make a survey

that it would take six months
