Kennedy, Board Seen
Differing on Home Rule

Senate District Committeeman
expect President-elect Kennedy
and the presidentially appointed
District Commissioners to sub
NIT conflicting home rule bills
in the new Congress.
AS Congress opened yester-
day, there was no indication
that the Republican Commis-
sioners were making an effort
to coordinate home rule legis-
lation with the new Democratic
President.
The President-elect is on the
record as favoring a municipal
government with locally elected
officials. Robert E. Mclaughlin,
president of the Board of Com
missioners. has indicated he
will resubmit the Eisenhower
proposal for a territorial gov
ernment, with a governor ap-
pointed by the President and
an assembly elected by the
people.
Asked Elective Officials
Mr.. Kennedy testified as a
Senator in the last Congress
that this territorial bill was
deficient in not providing for
executive officers elected by the
people over whom they pre-
side. I favor a bill without this
deficiency.
II trust that such a bill will
be reported out by this conf
mittee so that members Of the
Senate will have an oppor-
tunity to reaffirm their faith
in the principle of self-govern-
ment for the Capital Of this

Parking Lots
To Stuy Free

The Budget Bureau has
shelved a proposal to end free
parking by Federal employees on
Government property here.
| Under the recommends tion
by a study committee, fees
would have been changed fol
the spaces. There are now
about 11,4o0 Government-con-
trolled spaces in the downtown
area being occupied without
charge by Federal workers.
Under the proposal, the fees
would nave been used to help
finance construction of Gov
ernment parking garages here.
The report was drafted by
staff representatives of the
General Services Administra-
tion, the District Government,
the National Capital Planning
Commission and the Budget
Bureau. This inter-agency COM
mittee had been set up to rec
ommend moves to ease the
downtown parking problems Of
Federal employees.
A Budget Bureau spokesman
said today, however. that
consideration is not now be-
ing given" to imposing the fees
on what are now free spaces
for Government workers.
Instead, the spokesman said.
several other proposals in
cluded in the report have been
Endorsed. GSA will be respon-
sible for carrying out a pro-
gram now being developed to
help ease the parking space
shortage, he said.
This involves Government

transportation, increasing the
use Of car pools and encourage
ing establishment of additional
fringe parking lots.
A second phase, the spokes-
man said, involves working
with private enterprise to en-
courage expansion Of privately
owned and operated transpor-
tation and parking facilities.

The
Rambler
Goes Up
The Hill
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Nothing, well hardly any
thing, could have kept the
Rambler away from yeSter-
days opening Of Congress. =
There is a camaraderie, a
handshake across the aisle,
an effervescent rising of
good spirits that even affects
the Fourth Estate in the
Press Gallery above.
Awed new members are es-
corted by veterans and in
troduced to leaders of their
party whom they may, or
may not, have met before.
It's the happiest legislative
day of the year.
Partisanship, and faction
alism (still worSe) have not
yet reared their ugly heads.
But they will; they will.
The returning members
were in for a surprise. 1t is
hard to believe that so much
progress has been made on
the Capitol in the few weeks
since they adjourned.
That is much more impress
sive than the progress on the
construction of the stands
for the inauguration, which
are almost completed.
Another surprise is the ap-
peararice Of the Old Senate
ONCE building. 1t has been
cleaned with soap and sand
and its pristinely white mar
BILE was cleaning in the al
most horizontal rays of the
winter sun.
There is something re-
markable about marble.
Clean it and it is as good as
new. Whether 1t is the 100
year old marble of the Capt.
tol or the 50-year-old of the
Old Senate Office building or
the brand new marble of the
New Senate Office Building,
they all look the same.

just before Labor Day, the
front of the Capitol was
showing some promise, clean

almost been completed, but
the front yard was a mess
that would give any house
holder the horrors. A big
green contractors fence sur
rounded an enclosure for
tools and materials that was
more than an'acre in extent.
The facade was nearing
completion, the great center
staircase had been. restored,
but on the Senate side the
stone staircase had been
moved but and there was a
huge hole and great piles of
dirt around the area where
a contractor was construct
ing the Grand Central Sta
ton" for the subway cars
running to the Old and New
Senate Office Buildings.
Returning Senators must
have noted with satisfaction
yesterday that the front
steps Of the Senate wing
have been moved back in
place, the hole has been
closed, the area above has
been paved with concrete
and only a layer of asphalt
is necessary to complete the
restoration. The under
ground Grand Central Sta
ton will be completed at a
cost of several million in
about six weeks.
The big green fence which
encroached upon the park
ing plaza is gone and so are
the tools and the construc-
tion material. Instead almost
an acre of the plaza has a
floor of new wide boards of

redolent with the pleasing

For Group Lost
To Teaching

Less than three fourths of

last year as teachers actually
went into teaching, the Ma

reported yesterday.
The NEA, in a new booklet,
blamed this on low teacher SAL
aries. The Nationwide goal, it
said, should be to raise teacher
salaries to an average of $lO,-
750 a year by 1864 IS. The
present average is $3.50.
At $1O,75O, the association de-
clared, teacher salaries would
still be only about rs per cent
OF the average for other pro-
feSsional earnings. The obSer-
vationS were set forth in q new
pamphlet titled Professional
Salaries for Professional Teach
erS."

lens of obtaining and retain

Powell to Fight
Own Amendment
Offered by Foe
By the Associated Press

Representative Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, says he per-
sonally would fight the Powell
amendment if it was intro
duced by an enemy of Federal
aid to education.
The amendment, introduced
by Mr.. Powell in the past,
would prohibit Federal aid to
a school district that MAIN
tanned segregated schools. In
1856 the House adopted his
amendment and then killed the
entire bill providing aid to edu-
cation.
MIR. Powell, now chairman of
the House Education and La
Dor Committee, has not said
whether he intends to intro
duce his amendment when
President Kennedy's Federal
aid to education bill comes up
in the House.
But, on a taped broadcast
yesterday, Mr.. Powell said:
If it was used as a weapon
by an enemy Of Federal aid to
education, would personally
lead the movement down the
aisle to fight the Powell
amendment"
This statement did not pre-
clude the possibility that Mr..
Powell might introduce the
amendment himself.

Fide| Chides Romon,

HAVANA, Mar. 7 (AP).-
Fidel Castro today chastised
his older brother Ramon and
charged that "imperialist"
agents were trying to use him
to make it appear that Fidel
and his brother Raul are "ene-
mics Of our family"
The fiery Prime Minister did
not mention Ramon by name
but declared: "As revolutionary
leaders we have two Castros-
Raul Castro and Fidel Castro. "
Raul is Cuba's Armed Forces
Minister and Fidei's designated
heir to leadership of the revo-
luton he heads.
What apparently touched off
the Prime Minister'S anger to-
ward Ramon was a memo
randum Of private sugar cane
growers complaining about the

published in Cuban news
papers.
Fidel also complained about
his brothers recent interview
for publication outside Cuba in
which Ramon criticized some
aspects Of the revolution al
though maintaining he is a
revolutionary.
"Agrarian Revolution"
Charging "imperialists" were
trying to provoke a family
row; the Prime Minister said
There are gullible relatives
who fall for these maneuvers. "
Mr.. Castro made a 3h hour
speech to the closing session
of the leftiSt Latin American
Conference Of Plantations. He
told the delegates "agrarian
revolution" is the only cure
for what he called the fright
ening conditions of feudal ex-
ploitation in many nations of

might be willing to make some
payment to Americans whose
businesses he seized if the
