with ratification of the 23d
Amendment. His first chance
will come in November of 1864.
President Kennedy is sure
to sign the suffrage guarantee,
although he asked for less strict
voting requirements. The White
House favored 18-year-old vot-
ing, 90-day residence and broad
absentee voting and registra-

Nobody knows precisely how
many new voters will be ad-

Condemnation
Suit byGSA
Under Attack
Senate Unit Asked
To Block Mutomic
Building Action
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

An attorney asked a Senate
subcommittee today to order
the General Services Admins
tration to withdraw it's con-
demnation suit to acquire one
of Washington'S largest pri-
vately owned office buildings.
Attorney Joseph Casey said
GSA violated solemn agree
ment" when it filed condemna-
ton proceedings earlier this
year to gain possession of the
History Matomic Building at
1717 H street NV.
He said only four months be-
fore it took this action GSA
had leased the structure from
Jerry Maiatico, the building
owner, for a period of five years.
However. representatives of
GSA present at the hearing de-
Tended the condemnation pro-
|cedure as proper and added that
it would save money for the
Federal Government.
After the Senate Public
Works subcommittee took the
case under advisement. Sem
ator Randolph, Democrat of
West Virginia and subcommit-
tee chairman, said the sub
committee would consider the
case very carefully"
Looking for Bypass
He made it plain that he is
interested in d termi inin g
whether the full Senate Public
Works Committee was by
passed when GSA decided to
condemn the building.
J. E. Moody. GSA commits
Sioner of the utilization and
disposal service, said that un-
der a 1861 appropriation act
the agency was not required to
clear the condemnation action
with the Senate Public Works
Committee.
However, both he and Robert
T. Griffin, assistant GSA ad-
ministrator, stressed that GSA
would be happy to keep the
committee advised in the fu-
ture on all matters in which it
expresses an interest.
Mr.. Maiatico now has a case
pending in the District Court
of Appeals opposing the con-
demnation action.
Deposits Millions
The Justice Department de-
posted 500 million in District
Court last January as the con-
demnation price. However, Mr..
Moody told the Senate sub
committee that Mr.. Maiatico
had asked for $12,250,000 in
1859 for the structure but later
had withdrawn the offer to
sell.
The building had been rented
to the Bureau of Public Roads
for $14 million a year.
Mr.. Casey contended that
GSA had acted "shabbily, i'm
morally and with total con-
tempt for individual rights"
by seeking to condemn the
building.
He charged that GSA had
violated the 1859 Public Build
ings Act by not consulting with
the Senate Public Works Com
mittee before taking this ac-
ton.

The
Rambler
Goes
Up the Hill
By GEORGE KENNEDY

-
Which has the ascendan-
cy, the House or the Senate?
The Rambler had not
given that much thought of
late.
But on Sunday he read a
front-page story by a dis
corning reporter, Russell
Baker, in the New York
Times.
1t was under a two-column
head which read:
House Selling a Dominant
Role
I'm Shift of Power from
Senate"
Could it be that he had
missed something - that a
major political change had
occurred in this Nations
Capital without his being
aware?
1t reminded him of his
laxity in reporting impor-
tant developments in Wash
ington. He felt a moments
guilt about the columns of
trivia that have appeared in
this space.
1t also reminded him that
yesterday might be the last
day Of the session.
Congress is something that
we accept while it is here.
Not until adjournment do
we realize that something is
gone from our midst.

He just naturally assembled

A housewives self started
home survival course in Prince
Georges County is being
dropped after a set-to with the
local civil defense director who
said his office doesn't have
time to be a wet nurse"
Hal SilverS, local civil de-
fense chief, said information
usually gained in such classes
can be obtained more easily
from civil defense manuals
available to residents at no cost.
He so told some 40 persons
attending the first session last
Friday of a five-week home
survival course scheduled at the
LewiSdale Elementary School,
Adelphi.
Mrs. Julie Martin, who or
ganized the course, said Mr..
Silvers last night told her ne
was informing the school board
the program no longer has the
backing Of his office. She said
Mr.. SilverS told the class he
does not believe in home pre-
parednesS.
"He insulted the intelligence
Of all persons attending" Mrs
Martin said.
IF he feels this type of class
is not needed, it's all right with
me. I'll prepare my home and
hope the rest of the people can
do the same" she added.
Don't Want Fight
II don't want to fight Mr..
Silvers, but I thought what we
were doing was in line with
President Kennedy's emphasis
on civil defense work" Mrs,
Martin said.
Mr.. Silvers, reached later,
said he was misunderstood and
does, too, believe in home pre-
paredness. But he said it does
not take a five-week course to
learn what can be easily read
in the manual.
Il am annoyed with this type
of course" Mr.. Silvers said.
He and his staff are willing
to talk to parent-teacher, civic
and other groups throughout
the county, but they do not
have the time to wet nurse"
a self-started group that wants
TO spend five weeks reading the
manual, Mr.. SilverS said.
His office sponsors a regular
schedule of classes at the Uni
versity of Maryland which are
open to the public. Mr.. Silvers
said these classes cover not only
home preparedness but first
aid, rescue, and radiation de-
lection work.
I'VE do not have time to
dramatize what's in the home
preparedness manual, lead peo-
pie by the hand and tell them

After brief and quiet discussion, the yesterday

both have these well-ap-
pointed lounges behind the

spondent can recline and, in
case of a long distance call
from a questioning editor,
can show he is on the job
by answering the phone.
Early in this writer's ca
reer 21-25-h he wanted to
be a clubman. For some time
he has felt he made it. The
Senate is the most exclusive
club in the world. But mem
bership in the press gallery
above is far more comfort
able.
Passing up the temptation
of the couches, for the time
being, the Rambler went into
the actual gallery.
The opening of the Senate
is called the morning hour.
During this time members
can with unanimous con-
sent-inSert items into the
appendix of the Congress
sional Record.
Soon Majority Leader
Mansfield asked for unani-
nous consent to take up the
supplementary appropriation
bill.
Senator Prouty OF Vermont
objected. Although it meant
a delay of days in the plans
of the majority leader to get
away with his wife on a
much-needed vacation, he
did not betray the slightest
sign of annoyance.
He merely said something
to the effect that it was we'll
within the Senator's rights
to object.
AS to the balance of power
shifting from the Senate to
the House, the Rambler had
plenty of time to interview
veteran correspondents. Ev-
eryone seemed to have a
different idea.
Some said it was true. The
liberals had been able to
muster majoritieS in the Sen
ate. the conservatives in the
House. So it was the House
that exercised its veto.
But, they said, this has
happened before, a House on
the outs with an administra-
tion. Another election might
change the situation.
All were of the opinion
that there is no chance in
our time of the Senate be-
coming atrophied like the
House of Lords, no reluctant
Senators.
One veteran Senate re-
norter (35 years. said he had
always thought the House
was the more powerful body.
But the prestige is on this
side" he said. "You never
see a Senator running for a
House seat, but there are
representatives going out
for the Senate in every con-
gressional election"

States, while instantly mobile

fraction Of the airlift needed to
take them quickly to an In

In limited wars not involving
the Soviet Union, this country's
present position is that nuclear
weapons would be used If
necessary. The Rusk, position
puts the emphasis on non-nu-
clear defense. Also, 1t suggests
that our allies around the edge
Of the Communist world should
devote more of their efforts to
combating subYersion and leave
their protection from direct in
vasion up to our Pacific forces.
This would put one Army and
one Marine division up against

balance that previous admins.

weapons III limited wars.
