Chino Rejects
u. Proposal
For Exchange
BY the Associated Press

Red China has turned down
a new proposal by the United
States for the two countries
to exchange newsmen. The
Reds made a new condition
that the United States aban-
don Formosa.
The Kennedy administration
thus suffered a rebuff in its
first effort to find some way
Of beginning to break down
barriers between the two coun-
tries.
The American proposal, Of
ficials said today. was designed
to satisfy the Chinese Com
munist insistence on a recipro-
cal exchange of newsmen.
Previously. the issue of re-
ciprocity had been a major
stumbling block. Now that the
United States has, in effect,
offered to give way on that de-
mand, the Communist govern
ment has interposed a new and
far more serious barrier.
The proposal was put forth
by United States Ambassador
Jacob D. Beam in a meeting at
Warsaw. Poland, yesterday with
Ambassador Wang Ping-nan of
Communist China. They con-
ferred for IS minutes and
agreed to meet again April 18,

Kennedy Considers
Rodio-TV Addresses

Mr.. Hatcher explained that
Mr.. Kennedy does not feel his
press conference is the place
to go into great detail on
domestic or foreign issues that
may be pending before Con-
gress unless he is asked to do
so.
He added that the President
does not want to change the
form and meaning of the press
conference by using it to over
emphasize a particular matter
on his mind, or to plant"
with reporters questions he
would like to be asked.
Therefore, Mr.. Hatcher said,
If the President wants to en-
phasize certain things to the
|public, a special television-
radio speech appears to be the
best way to do it.

President Kennedy is consid-

White House disclosed today.
Associate White House Press
Secretary Andrew Hatcher said
the President feels that there
are certain things the public
should know" in more detail
than he can explain in his press
conferences.
Mr.. Hatcher was asked
specifically If Mr.. Kennedy is
planning to address the Nation
next week on his foreign aid
program, which he is expected
to send to Congress next week.
"As far as I know he is not, |"
Mr.. Hatcher replied.
But he added that "the pos
sibility of advising the public
on a number Of matters may be
under consideration"

Their session yesterday had
been delayed for several weeks
to give President Kennedy time
to formulate new proposals to
try to get United States-Red
Chinese relations off dead CEN
ter.
The State Department had
disclosed in advance that 1t
would present a full list Of
newsmen to Wang in the hope
that this would break the dead
lock over United States Iews
coverage in Red China which
has existed since the summer
of 1857.
That was the time when the
State Department first agreed
that United States newsmen
would be permitted to go to
the Chinese mainland. Travel
by Americans in general to that
country, whose government the
United States does not recog-
nize, is forbidden.
In accordance with the 1857
ruling, 80 American news Or
ganizations have designated
correspondents to hold Ameri-
can passports ready for i'm
mediate travel If and when the
Chinese Reds lower the bars.
These passports have been re-
newed from time to time.
A couple of American news
men have been admitted on a
strictly individual basis. but
the Chinese have issued no
visas for the general group.
The Reds have argued that If
American reporters go in they
should get an equivalent num-
ber Of their own correspond
ents into this country. The
United States has held out for
visas issued on an individual
basis.

Nc Cloy to Testify

John J. McCloy, disarma-
ment administrator, and Ar
thur Dean, the Kennedy ad-
ministration's new test-ban
negotiator, are to testify before
the Joint Atomic Energy Com
mittee tomorrow.
Committee members would
not comment before then on
reports the administration is
considering a plan to show the
Soviet Union early-model nu-
clear weapons intended for use
in a program to improve test
detection.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton sent a similar proposal to
the joint committee last year,
but 1t was not accepted by he
members or pressed by the ex-
ecutive branch. All of the Joint
committee members except one
are holdovers from last year.
Congressional leaders were
said to feel that the United
States cannot go ahead with
the moratorium indefinitely.
While it is recognized as nee
essary to reopen negotiations
with the Soviet Union, Repre-
sentative Holifield.' Democrat
of California, chairman of the
committee, said Most people
I've talked with feel we should
have a constructive accomplish
ment or we should have a ter
mination of the moratorium. "
He advised against issuing
an ultimatum of so, 80 or 100
days. Instead negotiations
should be open on a month-to-
month basis and the admins
tration should judge within a
reasonable time whether the
Soviet Union is prepared to
make substantial concessions
on inspection.
The United States has been
seeking 20 on-site inspections
per year inside the Soviet
Union to investigate suspicious
underground shocks with a
power equivalent to 10000 tons
Of TINT or more. The Soviet
Union so far has been willing
to allow only three, which
would be used to investigate
not only those shocks above
10000 tons of TINT but also
those below.
The Soviet Union also has
insisted on criteria for dispatch
ing inspection teams so stiff
that they would seldom be able
to leave their headquarters for
on-site inspections. In addi-
ton, the United States wants
the Kremlin to give up it's de-
mand for what amounts to "self
inspection" with home-country
nationals occupying the key
posts on the inspection teams.
The White House had nc
comment on the luncheon meet
ing yesterday except to report
the guest list.
Some participants reported
that President Kennedy assured
the group the administration
intends to make a sincere, all
out effort to reach agreement
on a test ban which is properly
safeguarded and which car
slow down the nuclear arms
race.

Project Delayed
By Alexandra

The Alexandria City Council
yesterday postponed action for
two weeks on the city's eontro-
versial Midtown urban renewal
project.
The council, which was to
pass on plans and other docu-
ments describing the project to
the city's redevelopment and
housing authority yesterday,
held up the action until a 4
pm. meeting June 10.
The council must submit the

thority before that agency can
apply for Federal funds for the
project to the Housing and

HyuttsviIIe Sets
Hearing June Ia
On Tax Increase

The Hyattsville (Md) City
Council last night set June IA
for a public hearing on a pro-
posed record operating budget
of $492.280 for 1862, re-
quiring a 7-cent increase in
the municipal tax rate.
The proposal, to be effec-
tive July l, is $85,552 more
than appropriated for the cur
rent fiscal year on a tax rate
of 62 cents per $10O assessed
valuation. The hearing will
begin at 8 pm. in the council
chambers. 1884 Farragut street.
Most of the increase is
slated for police and fire de-
partment salary increases. The
request covers a $500 across
the-board increase in the pres
ent scale of $4,000-$4,80
reached in seven years. The
police force comprises ID men
and the fire department, IL.
Street maintenance would
take $114,000 out of the pro-
posed budget, compared to
$4,000 allocated last year.

Airport Road
Struck Blow
ByPIonners

Fairfax planners last night
struck a blow against the pro-
posed "Pimmet freeway," q
Smile superhighway connect
ing the Dulles international
Airport access road to Arizona
avenue through the Mclean
(va) area.
Last month Mclean resi-
dents turned out to oppose the
suggested alignment through
the park-like Pimmit Run
valley. Shortly afterwards, the
board of county supervisors de-
clined to step into a dispute
between the planning staff and
a developer who proposed
building a subdivision directly
in the path of the road as part
of the Potomac Hills subdivi-
sion.
Last night another developer,
James E. Hooper, presented
plans for a 47-home addition
to the Chesterbrook Woods sub
division. squarely in the route
of the proposed road. Plan
ming commissioners, with only
one member opposed, told its
staff to approve Mr.. Hooper'S
plat on grounds that the path
of the freeway was too "nebu-
louS" to warrant reserving the
necessary rights of way.
In the Potomac Hills case
the commission had instructed
the staff to withhold subdivi-
sion approval because of the
road plan the supervisors re-
versed the decision.

37c Tax Rise Protested
At GreenbeIt Heorino

An overflow crowd of Green
belt (Md) residents attended q
public hearing last night to
protest the proposed 37-cent
increase in the city's tax rate
When the city councils
chambers became jammed be-
fore the budget hearing got
under way, the meeting was
moved to the activity room OF
the Greenbelt Youth Center.
The city managers proposed
budget calls for expenditures OF
$334,120, with an increase in
the tax rate from $1.60 to $1.97
per $100 of assessed valuation
No salary increases or new cap
ital improvement items are in
cluded in the budget.
Increase May Drop
While opposition to the
budget wasn't unanimous, there
was enough to cause Mayor
Alan Kistler to remark after
the meeting that the tax in
crease probably will be lower
than suggested by the city
manager.
Residents protested not only
that the city's taxes are toe
high, but also that its tax base
is too low. John Murray, of 10e

years during the administration
OF Gov. Almond.
BOOthe Cries Foul
Mr.. Stephens, too, spoke last
night, appearing with his
ticket at Colonial Beach-but
the toughest talk came from his
running-mate for Lieutenant
Governor, State Senator Armi-
stead Boothe.
Senator Boothe let fly with
a bliStering assault on his foe
in the primary, State Senator
Mills E. Goodwin. whom he ac-
cused of striking "a low blow
and a cowardly blow in his
zeal to be elected Lieutenant
Governor"
What got Senator Boothe's
oanoer up was Senator God
wins claim in a Danville
speech last week end that the
Stephens ticket is controlled
from behind the scenes-with
the hint that the controllers are
labor and the NAACP.
This demagoguery is not
worthy of the Commonwealth, /"
Senator Boothe said. "It doesn't
degrade the unions or the
NAACP. It degrades only Sena-
tor Goodwin"
And in an oblique slap at
Senator Godwin'S backing from
the Byrd forces, Senator
Boothe said the Stephens slate
don't get the word from below
and we don't get the word from
above. We don't get it from
anyone except the people of
Virginia." He said Senator
Goodwin has added "a plank of
scurrility" to his platform.

Home Repair
RuIesUrged
In Rockville

Rockville has joined the grow
ing list of communities study
ing the feasibility of adopting
regulations for home improve
ment firms.
The city council last night
asked Walter A. Schneider, city
manager, to make a survey on
the need for home repair con-
trolls. City officials acted after
receiving a letter from Frank
WolfSheimer, executive vice
president of the Hechinger Co.,
recommending city regulations
like those adopted by the Dis
trict.
Similar action is being stud
led by the Montgomery County
Council, following receipt of a
recommendation from States
Attorney Leonard Hardy. The
Prince Georges County Com
missionerS last winter asked
for, and received, Maryland
legislative authority to adopt
controls.
Mr.. Schneider said his office
has received a dozen complaints
in the last two years from
persons who said they had been
fleeced by home improvement
statesmen. The city manager
said he did not know how long
the survey would take but that
his staff would move quickly"
In other action, the council
adopted a zoning amendment
designed to combat residential
street congestion caused by the
two-car family trend.
Effective Immediately, two
off street parking facilities
must be provided for homes
built on lots of $500 and 5000
square feet, and one-half and

New Project
For Leading
Students Set

A new program allowing
Montgomery County high
school students to earn college
credits by attending Montgom-
cry Junior College classes is
scheduled to begin in the fall
of 1862.
Top high school students
who have IA units in major
subjects will be selected for the
program by their principals
and guidance counselors next
spring, DIR. Eileen Kuhns, chair
man of the junior colleges
Early Placement Committee,
told the Montgomery County
School Board last night.
The program, which was ap-
proved by the board last April,
has been under consideration
by the college since last Oc-
tober.
The high school students,
whom DR.. Kuhns said will
probably be mostly seniors, "
would pay the SO per credit
hour college fee for county
residents.
Objections Raised
DR.. KuhnS said a recent
meeting with principals of the
county high schools had raised
a question that the early place
ment program might drain
students from rapid learner
classes especially in the
smaller high schools" The
high school students possible
"loss of identity" in such a
program was also discussed.
DR.. Kuhns said that rapid
learners comprise roughly the
top s per cent Of all students. "
The program would be open to
the students in the upper 20
per cent of the school.
She said students would
definitely remain on a high
school level and be limited in
participating in extra-curricu-
lar college activities. They
would take only the courses for
which they had the required
prerequisites in the voluntary
program.
Support Voiced
Board mber William
Thomas said at the meeting
at the Takoma Park Junior
College campus, "I know that
I am speaking for the board
when I say how pleased I am
with this program"
The board also asked its
staff to schedule a meeting
Tuesday with the Rockville
City Council and planning
board to discuss Zoning and
road problems of a proposed
site for a second junior college.
Lester J. WEIGH, director of
school facilities, told the board
that preliminary negotiations
for an 86-acre tract on Route
355 near Rockville had been
completed and board action
was the next step. The land,
for which the board has budg-
eted $330,000, is expected to be
