CH|VALRY LIVES ON
Senate Pompers Women
BY the Associated Press

In a chivalrous gesture, the
male leadership of the Senate
has made the only two women
members of the club mighty
happy.
Senators Margaret Chase
Smith, Republican of Maine,
and Maurine Neuberger, Demo-
crat of Oregon, have been as
signed two of the choice hide
away rooms in the new, ex-
tended front of the Capitol.
Now they won't have to make
a long run from their regular
offices to reach the floor for a
roll call.
I'VE couldn't be happier. ii
Mrs. Neuberger told a reporter.
The word around the Capt.
tol was that many other Sena-
tors were pulling strings to get
the offices.
Mrs. Smiths regular Capitol
office wasn't as convenient as
the new offices so she applied
for a room at the front on the
basis of her seniority.
Mrs. Neuberger, serving her
first term. didn't even apply.
Nevertheless, Senator Mans
field of Montana, the Demo-
cratic leader, decided two of
the choice new rooms should
go to the two women.
Il think it was very thought
full of Senator Mansfield" Mrs.
Neuberger said.

Today is the day 100 Navy
volunteers went underground in
a fallout shelter at Bethesda
Naval Hospital, with no idea
of when they will come out.
The volunteers walked into
a hole in the hillside, then
down a sloping, steel-relnforced
tunnel to the $4,000 fallout
shelter shaped like a quonSet
hut.
A TV monitor will watch the
men sleep in shifts, play cards
and eat emergency rationS-
they'll live on 1000 calories a

The Navy - and newsmen
through a briefer's slip of the

sailors will stay in the shelter
but the men themselves, fresh

Busboy Seized
In Apartment
Staying Here
Night Man Beaten
In House Lobby on
Columbia Road

A 19-year-old busboy, &C
cused of bludgeoning to death
an elderly switchboard operator
in a Columbia road apart
ment house early today, was
picked up by Washington police
several hours after the killing
and charged with homicide.
The victim, Myron Jackson,
81, of 1912 California street
NV, was struck on the head
several times with a blunt
instrument. His body was
found early this morning in
the lobby of the apartment
building at 1707 Columbia road
NV. where he worked.
Capt. Lawrence A. Hartnett
of the Homicide Squad said a
homicide charge was placed
against Toribro Abraham Sera
Leyva, a resident of the apart
ment building.
Admits Having Fight
Capt. Hartnett quoted Leyva,
a native of Cuba, as admitting
he had a fight with Mr.. Jack
son. He told police the fight
followed an argument after he
walked across the wet lobby
floor that Mr.. Jackson had
just washed, according to Capt.
Hartnett.
Earlier, police had theorized
that the victim was slain with
a 20-inch piece of pipe, missing
from Mr.. Jackson's cleanup
gear. At about the time Leyva
was arrested, a piece of pipe
believed to be the death weapon
was found on the roof OF a
delicatessen in the 5000 block
of Mount Pleasant street NV.
Detectives said the suspect
speaks English with difficulty
ard had to be questioned with
the assistance of an interpreter.
Leyva, Capt. Hartnett said,
was employed as a buSboy in a
Georgetown restaurant. After
the Staying, he repeatedly went
to the home of a brother in the
100 block of Kenyon street
NV. to change clothes. The
brother was not further identl-
fled.
The attacker left Mr. Jack
sons watch and SLAB in his
pockets. His wallet was found
where he had left it in closet,
with its contents intact.
Seen BY Bus Driver
Lewis j. Pruett, %, a D. c.
Transit bus driver who was
walking to his home at 2611
Adams Mill road NV. at about
3 am, told police he passed a
man who turned his head away
as he walked and didn't look
right"
At the Chatham Court apart
ments, Mr.. Pruett looked
through the glass doors and
saw Mr.. Jackson about 20 feet
back near the stairs. He lay in
a pool of blood.
Mr.. Pruett called police
from a public telephone al

President Kennedy and his
top aides were described yester-
ay as determined not to let
any Soviet stalling at Geneva
delay a series Of United States
nuclear tests in the atmosphere
They expect no agreement to
emerge from the EaSt-West
conference which would cause
Mr.. Kennedy to call off the
tests scheduled to start about
a month from now.
The President has said he
would cancel the projected
tests If the Russians sign the

Many persons here. however,
think the Russians will not do
so because they want to- go

own.
Official Tells Attitude
This word on the administra-
ton attitude was given to
newsmen by a qualified Off
cial who asked that he not be
named. While he did not say
so, his intent may have been
to reply to statements made on
Thursday by Republican lead
ers in Congress.

ence, House COP. Leader Hal
leck of Indiana and Senate
Minority Leader Dirksen OF
Illinois said pressures are build
ing up at Geneva to persuade

ito of atmospheric tests.

ence as a whole, after some
procedural snarls, finally seems
ready to move along reasonably
organized negotiating tracks.
The limited accords which
East and West and some of
the non-aligned lands variously
have in mind have the aim of
lessening international tension,
building confidence and reduc-
ing the risk Of nuclear war.
Power Bloc Interest
Among measures in which
the two big blocs are interested:
l. Action to stop the spread
Of H-weapons and the know
how to build them. This could
take the form Of a general
agreement binding the nuclear
powers not to turn over control
Of these weapons to others and
binding non-nuclear powers not
to make them.
2. A declaration OF nom
aggression by the members of
the rival (allied) Atlantic and
(communist) Warsaw alliances,
3. Build-up Of an interna-
tional system Of observers to
check against the possibility of
surprise attack. This could be
achieved by stationing interna-
tional teams at key movement
centers through which air, land
and sea forces Of big powers
would have to pass If any big
scale military offensive was
being planned.

Agreement on some of these
measures-which would not af-
feet basic strategic postures OF
East or West-could dispel
part of the gloom that has
been created by big power dis
agreements on other key issues,
including the problems Of Ber-
lin and banning nuclear tests.
Progress in these areas in
certain circumstances also
could brighten prospects Of q
summit meeting in April or
May.
Hopeful on France
There were firm reports,
meantime, that the Western
powers have set out to persuade
France to take up her vacant
seat at the conference table
here. Some Western statesmen

President de Gaulle soon will
change his mind about staying
out of the talks, which he con-
siders mistakenly organized.
