Naval Plant
Threat
By BroyhiII

Representative BroyhiIl said
yesterday that closing the Naval
Weapons Plant would be "a
major disaster" to the District
area and demanded that the
Navy give the 15O-year-old in
stallation some of the contracts
it is now sending to private in
dustry.
The Virginia Republican
made the request in a letter to
Navy Secretary FRANKIE.
He said it was his under
standing that the Navy has
under consideration the posi-
bility of "a substantial reduc-
ton of Naval Weapons Plant
personnel or actual closing Of
the entire activity"
He went on to say that the
only official statement he had
received on the subject was
that l19 persons would be fired.
However. it has become
obvious that more drastic
measures may be forthcoming"
he continued.
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out
that Undersecretary Bantz had
stated that the Navy could no
longer support all of its existing
shore facilities and that the
industrial committee had
recently finished a survey OF
seven ordnance facilities, in
Guiding the one in Washington.

Fare Witness
Faces Quizziinq

The D. C. Transit Systems
fare increase hearings will re-
sumo Monday with further
cross-examination by the COM
pany Of Public Utilities Com
mission staff witnesses.
Yesterdays session saw the
company's attorney, Harvey
M. Spear, attempt to discredit
testimony by a PUG. expert
witness on the estimated pas
Isenger loss from a fare increase.
The company wants to raise
its 20-cent fare to IS cents dur
ing rush hours until November
and then charge straight Is
cent fare during all hours.
The witness Edward A. Rob-
ertS, a Flushing IN. " con-
suIting engineer. had proposed
at an earlier PUG session that
the company's cash fares be
raised 5 cents, but that tokens
be sold five for ST. Tokens now
are sold at the same 2O-cent
cash rate.
A major point involved in Mr..
Roberts proposal was his posi-
ton that the company had
overestimated the passenger
loss from the fare increase and
therefore its requested fare
schedule is not justified.
Yesterday, Mr.. Spear at
tempted to show that Mr.. Rob-
ertS tailors his estimates &C
cording to whether he is testi-
Tying for a transit company or
a regulatory body. If it is for
a company, Mr.. Spear con-
tended, the passenger loss esti-
mate is high; if for a utilities
commission, it is low.
The transit attorney cited
testimony given by the witness
in other cities to support this
contention, but Mr.. Roberts
countered with two cases, one
here in 1858, where the reverse
was true.
The hearings will resume at
1880 am. Monday in the Dis
trict Building.

the Russian leader during his
1855 visit.
Addresses Parliament
The trip broke a two-day
pattern which had Mr.. Khru-
shchev pretty much following
a trail left in India by Presi-
dent Eisenhower last December.
/ Like the United States Presi-
dent, Mr.. Khrushchev has ad-
dressed the Indian Parliament
and a civic reception given by
the New Delhi Municipal Cor
poration and discussed the in
ternational situation with
Prime Minister Nehru.
The major difference is that
Mr.. Khrushchev is being
greeted by far smaller crowds
than those who turned out for
Mr.. Eisenhower.
The usually ebullient Mr..
Khrushchev has appeared I'M
usually Somber on the first leg
OF his three-week tour, which
also will take him to Burma,
ndonesia and Afghanistan.
Observers say one explana-
Elon may be that he is walking
a self-lmposed tightrope during
MS stay in India because of the
bitter border dispute between
india and Communist China.
/ Mr.. Khrushchev has made
clear that he wants to keep
the friendship of both India
and China. Some Indian lead
ers had hoped the visit might
provide a way out of the quar-
rel involving $4,000 square
Ll4LeS OF territory.
Deadlock Continues
But after more than four
hours of talks yesterday be-
tween Mr.. Nehru and Mr..
khruShchev the deadlock ap-
peared no nearer solution.
Mr.. Nehru told Parliament
after the talks that II see no
ground whatever" for a settle

Mr.. Khrushchev was expected
to confer again with Mr.. Nehru
following his farm visit TODAY.
The Soviet Premier will fiy
to Bhilai in Central India to-
morrow to inspect a Russian
built steel plant. He visits CAL
cutta' Monday and leaves the
following day for Burma.
