The founders of Lakewood
Country Club near Rockville
yesterday filed a motion in
District Court asking removal
of Vinton E. Lee who had been
named by the court as a con-
servator to take control of the
clubs financial operations.
Mr.. Lee, a Washington ac-

by the court at the request of
some club members after funds
ran out and construction of the
club stopped.
The club founders, Troy V.

On Invasion Role
BY JACK BELL
Associated Press staff Writer

Secretary of State Rusk and
CIA Chief Dulles agreed yester-
day to tell Senators in secret
this week what they know Of
the Inflated attempt to over
throw Fidel Castro.
Mr.. Rusk, who returned only
yesterday morning from a meet
ing in Ankara, Turkey, sent
word that he would testify
about any United States role
in the unsuccessful invasion at
a meeting tomorrow of a Sem
ate Foreign Relations subcom-
mittee on Latin American af-
fairs.
Mr.. Dulles, whose Central In
telligence Agency has been
criticized by some officials for
its part in the Cuban affair,
also sent word he is ready to
testify. The subcommittee said
he probably will be heard to-
morrow afternoon or Tuesday.
BOwIes Quiz Uncertain
The subcommittee previously
had arranged to hear from Un-
dersecretary Of State Bowles
tomorrow. After Secretary Rusk
agreed to appear then, it was
left up in the air whether Mr..
Bowles would accompany him,
testify later, or not at all.
There were indications that
the administration officials may
be in for some determined ques-
tioning. Although nobody makes
the point particularly, members
of the subcommittee are some
what unhappy because they
were not consulted in advance
about United States support
for the attempt to topple
Castro.
Senate ajority Leader Mans
field Of Montana and other in
fluential Democrats support the
contention of Chairman Morse,
Democrat Of Oregon, that the
subcommittee now should in
quire into the events and de-
cisions that led to the disas-
trous adventure.
Leaders Told Afterward
President Kennedy is thus
having brought home to him
the hard way that the Senate
is Jealous in asserting its pre-
negatives in international rela-
tions.
Mr.. Kennedy called in con-
gressional leaders Of both par
ties after the invasion was un-
der way to brief them on de-
velopments.
Previously Senator Fulbright,
Democrat Of Arkansas, chair
man Of the full Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. acted on his
own initiative to register his
opposition to United States in
volvement in the anti-Castro
project at this time. This ap-
parently was the only advice
the President had from a mem
Der Of the Senate preceding
his decision to let the invasion
go on. Morse has said that If
his group had been consulted
it would have opposed the ac-
ton.
Mr.. Kennedy's former col
leagues in the Senate are sur
prised that the President over
looked touching bases with
them in such an undertaking.
AS a Senator, Mr.. Kennedy was
a Foreign Relations Committee
member.
G. o. P. Joins Cry

Hampshire, chairman of the

Weighs Role

Suddenly
Cancelled
By the Associated Press

President Kennedy weighed
with his top military and dip
lomatic advisers yesterday a
stronger and more active role
for the United States in the
defense of Southeast Asia
against further Communist
conquest.
Following an urgent session
of the National Security Coun-
ell. officials indicated the pos
sibility of United States and
allied military intervention in
Laos may depend on what the
Soviet-backed pro-Communist
rebels do about accepting a
cease-fire in the next 48 hours.
Russia already has agreed to
a truce plan, but the rebels are
continuing to fight.
AirIift Cancelled
The planned airlift OF some
5000 combat-ready troops from
the United States to West Ger
many as part of a NATO train
ing exercise beginning tomor-
row was called off, officials
said.
The decision to halt the air.
lift apparently was taken dur
ing the afternoon, Pentagon
sources reported, and indicated
a desire upon the part of this
country to keep its mobile
forces and their means of trans
portation close at hand.
White House sources indi-
Gated the hating of the troop
airlift was a direct result of
the National Security Council
meeting.
The troops were to have been
flown from Fort Campbell, KY.

strength would have conceded
with huge May Day celebra-
tions in Moscow and other
Communist capitals, where mil
itary power displays are to be
given.
The projected transfer Of
the troops had been planned
| for many weeks. The American
troops would have been drawn
from three battle groups of the
10lst Airborne Division.
Test Of FlexibiIity
Purpose Of the 15-day NATO
exercise, in which French and
West German troops were
scheduled to take part, was to
test NATO's ability to quickly
augment European defensive
forces.
The troops we're to have been
flown to Frankfurt by United
States military transport planes,
including craft from Donaldson
Air Force Base, Greenville,
S. C.. and from Charleston,
IS. C.
AS part Of the reinforcement
exercise, fighter-bombers, re-
connaissance and transport
aircraft of the Tactical Air
Command were scheduled to
move from American bases to
two NATO bases in France.
On Tuesday United States
troops had been scheduled to
be airlifted from Frankfurt to
Ingolstadt in southern Ger
many. They were to join
French and West German
forces for maneuvers in the
Hohenfeld area.
Mr.. Kennedy ordered another
meeting of the Security Coun-
Gil, bringing together his top
military. diplomatic and psy-
Geological warfare advisers, for
4 pm. tomorrow.
Yesterdays session at the
White House and the meeting
tomorrow thus bracket what
may be the most critical period
of roughly 48 hours since the
civil war in Laos developed into
a cold war contest of wills be-
tween Washington and Mos
COW.

willing for the rebels to grab
off all they can while stalling

enue. This would reduce the
city's deficit to $40 million
leaving a large gap between
plans for new construction and
expanded services. and the
funds to pay for them.
Even with the proposed prop
erty tax increase and the sales
tax rise, the District would
have to curtail much of its
capital expansion program, Mr..
Tobriner said.
The lack of adequate taxing
power would lead to serious
delays in District hospital con-
struction plans, the Commis-
sioner said. A major delay
probably would be caused in
the proposed expansion of Dis
trict General Hospital facili-
ties, and the proposed addition
of 80 new beds.
Commenting on the over
crowding at D. c. General, Mr..
Tobriner said one solution to
the problem would be the "in-
tegration of all District hospi-
tai facilities"
Maternity Stay Short
The Commissioner said this
could be accomplished If the
city's voluntary hospitals would
allow District General to send
patients to other hospitals
that have available space. The
voluntary hospitals would then
charge the city hospital the
standard rate for welfare pa
tientS.
Mr.. Tobriner said hospitals
have heavy overhead costs
whether their beds are filled
or empty, and that most of
them would probably be hap
py to accept some patients
from District General when
they have the room"

port to the People.
