BARRACKS PLAN
IS ANNOUNCED

A plan for constructing con-
solidated housing facilities for
single military personnel in the
Washington area was an
nounced today by the Depart
ment of Defense.
The permanent barracks
type buildings and related
facilities will be constructed
on two sites, the Department
said, one on the Boiling Ana
costa complex and the other
on Fort Meyer North Post.
Buildings on the two new sites
will replace the temporary
buildings now scattered all
over the Washington area.
The Bolling-Anacostia tract
will be surveyed to determine
how much of it may be de-
clared excess for urban re-
newal.
A new Defense Department
office building for 10000 en-
ployeS is also to be built at
lling-Tnacostia, the an
nouncement said.
At Fort Myer the temporary
buildings now on the 190-acre
South Post will be torn down
by July of this year, so the new
facilities on the North Post
must be completed by then.
The South Post land will then
be turned over to Arlington
Cemetery which has been
pressed for more burial plots.

mier Mario Scelba of the
rightists told the congress ma

unity despite the fact we dis
agree with the (FanfanD line"
The Christian Democrats
are the largest party in Parlia-
ment but do not have a ma
jority, and Mr.. Fanfani since
August 1860 has headed an
all Christian Democrat
government backed also by the
Republicans and Giuseppe
Saragat's Democratic Social
lists on the left and the
Liberals on the right.
Resignation Delayed
To help the move to the
left, the Democratic Socialists
and Liberals withdrew their
support, robbing the govern
ment of its parliamentary
majority. Mr.. Fanfani with
held his resignation until his
party congress came to a de-
ciSion on future allies.
Mr.. Fanfani now hopes to
form a coalition cabinet of
Christian Democrats, Saragat
Socialists and Republicans
which in the words of the party
resolution could be assured
the direct or indirect support"
of the Nenni Socialists. Mr..
Fanfani's plan is that the
Nenni faction will have no
seats in the cabinet but will
back the government on do
nestle issues and abstain on
foreign policy votes.
1t was a major switch for the
Christian Democrats whose
first great postwar leader, the
late Alcide de Casper, threw
the Socialists and Communists
out of his government in 1947.
The Socialists split and Mr..
Nenni's larger party worked
with the Communists until the
Hungarian uprising of 1856,
when Nenni turned his back on
Moscow.

Lafayette
Square Plan

President Kennedy is in
agreement with a Fine Arts
Commission idea for replacing
two buildings in the White
House-Lafayette Square area
with a small park.
He said he examined the pro-
posal at close range Tuesday
evening during an auto trip
around the square, which is
soon due for some changes.
Mr.. Kennedy told his press
conference yesterday that he
wanted to see whether the old
Court Of Claims building at
Seventeenth street and Penn
Sylvania avenue NV. should
be razed, as well as a building
adjoining Blair House.
After the visit he felt, like
the commission, that trees
should be planted at the corner,
Mr.. Kennedy said. The commits
sion also approved a plan to
place a similar little park at
Seventeenth and H streets NV
The President also said he
would be delighted" to help
the USO find another home to
replace the one the service
mems organization will lose
when the old Belasco Theater
is torn down.
The USO is studying a Gen.

by Mr.. Dobritch from going

NAPLES italy Feh I (AI

NAPLES, Italy, Feb. (AP)
-Italy's ruling Christian
Democratic Party swung to the
left today in a move to give
the country a new government
backed by Pietro Nenni's So
cialists, former allies of the
Communists.
The Christian Democratic
Party congress, after five days
of debate here, voted on Pre-
mier Amintore Fanfani's plan
to scuttle his middle-of-the-
road government and replace it
with a center-left cabinet that
could win Socialist support for
a more Vigorous domestic pro-
gram of economic, social and
school reforms.
The resolution put before the
party delegates, although ap-
proving the Opening to the
left" Mr.. Fanfani has urged
since 1856, pledged the party
to maintain Italy's pro-Western
foreign policy as a member of
the North Atlantic Alliance. It
also rejected any move toward
outright communism or fas-
cism, declaring that any gov
eminent backed by the Chris
tan Democrats would work "in
full independence Of every to-
taliarian influence"
Backed by Majority
The size of Mr.. Fanfani's
victory was not to be known
until counting of the votes was
completed later today, but all
factions agreed after the end
of debate that the majority
of the $50 delegates were be-

defeat in advance by accept

Prouty Asks
Powers Data
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

Senator Prouty, Republican
of Vermont, has decided to ask
the District Commissioners and
the Library of Congress what
powers Congress might delegate
permanently to the Capital City.
He wants more specifics than
the Senate District Committee
staff sent him this week in a
preliminary report.
This report set out eight
principles established mostly in
Supreme Court cases governing
congressional power to delegate
functions to city officials. The
guide posts were established by
the Federal Law Section of the
Library of Congress several
years ago.
I'VE want more recent, more
specific recommendations" a
spokesman for Senator Prouty,
a member of District Commit
tee, said.
Definition Proposed
In cooperation with Senator
Prouty, Chester Smith, COM
mittee clerk, today wrote to the
District Commissioners, too. He
suggested that serious con-
sideration be given omnibus
legislation" defining what
duties the Commissioners could
pursue independently and
what must be authorized by
Congress in specific acts.
Senator Prouty and Demo-
cratic Senators Bible of Ne
vada and Morse of Oregon
became exasperated last session
by District bills dealing with
such details as leashing dogs
and laying railroad track over
public land.
Already this session, the
Commissioners have asked for
introduction of bills to permit
volunteers to work for the Dis
trict Government, to eliminate
the requirement that applicants
for car titles swear they are
telling the truth and to charge
fees for reissuance of driving
permits previously revoked.

their tribute to the show bust
ness tradition that the show
must go on.
With a substitute aerialist
flown in to fill the gap left by
death and injury, the two Wal
lendas performed feats of daring
for 5 minutes high above the
concrete floor.
AS on the previous night,
here was no net between the
WallendaS and the concrete.
Herman and Gunther were the
only ones of the seven Wal
lendaS on the wire the night
before who were not killed or
injured.
Points to Tradition
TITS a tradition that the
show must go on" Gunther
stated matter of -factly after
last nights act, in which Gene
Mendez, who had flown in
from Stockholm, Sweden, was
the third man.
All other activity in the coli
scum stopped and tension was
great as the two Wallendas
and Mr.. Mendez climbed the
poles to the slender wire IS
feet up to do their Shrine
Circuit act.
Mr.. Mendez was first on the
high wire. He was followed
by Herman, and then Gunther
Wallenda.
Gunther, his face rejecting
no emotion, rode a bicycle &C
ross the wire and then teamed
with Mr.. Mendez, a former
member of the troupe, to carry
Herman standing on a cross
bar between them. In their
finale, Herman stood on his
head on the bar.

'They got it. They're steady.

at one end. AS soon as they
stepped onto the platform,

of approximately 5000 burst
into thunderous shouting,

Boiling Urged

Housing Site

The Commissioners reported
today that they want the Ana
costa Boiling airfield site to be
rebuilt as a predominately res
idential area.
Housing there should be to
provide for families of all in
come levels, the Commissioners
said.
Efforts should be made to
rehouse as many of the families
displaced by government action
as is possible without impair
ing sound economic develop
ment of the area, the Commits
sioners said.
The Commissioners outlined
their proposals for the urban
renewal development of the air.
field area in a letter to the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. Development of this
area under urban renewal was
Endorsed last month by the
Commissioners.
Flights to Cease
All flying operations in the
airfield area are scheduled to
cease next September. The city
has been told that it can have
the land about November for
urban renewal.
In the letter, the Commits
sioners said they feel the plan
ming commission, in drafting a
proposed development plan for
Anacostia- Boiling, also should
give consideration to these
points:
/. The waterfront should be
used to the maximum extent
for water oriented activities;
both public and private. Seri-
Gus consideration should be
given to providing waterfront
industrial sites, particularly for
establishments which may be
displaced by Government &C
ton, including renewal, in
other areas of the District"
2. The provision of transport
tation facilities should be
carefully co-ordinated with the
District Highway Department,
as well as with area transit Of
ficialS.
3. There should also be ade-
quate provisions for public
facilities such as schools, play
grounds, recreation areas, parks,
police and fire stations and
libraries.
Problems Seen
The letter noted that there
will be problems because the
site is now subject to flood
ing. The planning commission
should produce, as soon as pos
sible, a fill plan, working in
conjunction with the Engineer
Commissioners Office, so that
the project will not be subject
to inordinate delays" the letter
said.
Exploratory discussions should
begin Immediately with the
Corps of Engineers to obtain
its cooperation since fill taken
from the Potomac River would
be useful in improving the site
and, at the same time, in an
improved river channel, the
Commissioners said.

Drive Urged to Spur
Foreiqn Tourism

Richard Joseph, travel editor
of Esquire Magazine. today
called upon American business
to spearhead the drive to en-
courage foreign tourists in the
United States.
In a luncheon talk before
Metropolitan Washington Ad-
vertising Club. Mr.. Joseph said
that American business firms
have not yet taken up the
challenge.
1--WE are experts in getting
Americans to go abroad and
spend dollars that travel with
them" he pointed out. But
as a Nation we have not YET
become aware of the tremen-
dous job that must be done
here" He added:
I'VE know how to merchan-
disc soap, automobiles and
everything you care to name,
but we have not yet started to
apply these same merchandise
ing forces to encourage travel
to our country"
Mr.. Joseph said one big
problem we have in getting
people to travel over here is
that we do not have effective
reciprocal arrangements with
overseas concerns involved in
the travel field. He spoke at
luncheon arranged as a special
salute to the railways Bus
System.
