The engineer investigating
technical aspects of alleged
sub-Standard school construc-
ton in Fairfax County has
found that the charges were
substantially correct. it was
disclosed today.
His report, now being pre-
pared for mailing to the coun-
ty school board, "is a very
very short letter at this stage
of the game" according to
Alan B. Mills, jr. Mr.. Mills is
a partner in the Washington
firm of Mills. Petticord &
Mills, which was appointed to
conduct the survey.
The charges of faulty con-
struction were made last june
before a hearing of the coun-
ty Civil Service Commission
At that time, Thomas G. Dodd
former director of construc-
tion for the school system
said several gymnasiums
parking lots and wall founda.
tions were not built according
to contract requirements.
Mr.. Mills said today tina

1.-The evidence brought out In
the testimony is quite conclu-
sive from a technical point Of
view. Concrete is either 4
inches thick or 1t is not 4
inches thick"
John D. x. Smoot. the school
board member who helped Sc
lect the engineering firm, said
he understood that Mr.. Mills
had made no further study OF
the schools concerned.
"A lot of the stuff is self
evident" said Mr.. Srnoot. He
added that many of the ccn-
struction deficiencies were cor
rected before Mr.. Dodd made
the charges. Others were proved
correct in studies already done
by the school administration
he said.
In the report. Mr.. Mills rec
ommends that the school board
or some other responsible body
choose four schools at random
and provide him with plans tC
do a detailed engineering study
according to Supervisor Adelarc
E. Brault.

Mr.. Sickles, speaking to a

for the aged under social Sc
curity He also said he felt
the Kerr Mills medical-care bill
passed during the Eisenhower
administration was inadequate
but could be improved.
MIR. Steers said he would have
voted for the King-Anderson
bill had two additional pro-
visions been made to pay doctor
and drug expenses incurred
outside a hospital and If it pro-
vided for no Federal control OF
hospitals.
OversimpIified Statement
Yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Steers said his position had
been oversimplified in news
paper accounts and he issued
another statement Ito set the
record straight"
In that statement he en-
phasized modification Of the
Kerr Mills Act and said that
IF the Kerr Mills Act as 1t
operates in Maryland we're
modified adequately the
King-Anderson bill would not
be necessary"
He added, however, that he
would have voted for the King
Anderson bill If the two changes
he suggested were made and II
the Kerr-Mills Act was In
operation as it Is today. The
King-Anderson bill is President
Kennedy's proposal for medical
care for the aged under social
security which was killed in
the Senate.
Long before I won my pri-
mary election, I announced re-
peatedly that did not
find anything Objectionable In
financing a medical care pro-
gram by means of flat payroll
tax" Mr.. Steers said in yes
terday's statement. People
have tended to confuse the
program for medical care with
the means for financing the
program. The social security
tax is a flat (non-graduated)
payroll tax. We have funded
too many programs from the
steeply graduated individual
income tax"
Further Qualification
Today, Mr.. Steers issued an
other statement labeled "fur-
ther Qualification of Steers
position on medical care"
In the latest statement. Mr..
Steers reaffirmed his belief
that a modification of the Kerr
Mills Act would meet the prob
lem"

Gran Gas Fire
Sets Off Panic

7 ORAN, Algeria, June % (AP)
A bomb touched off a raging
fire in a gas storage reservoir
today and sent panic through
a nearby residential quarter.
Firemen wearing gas masks
attacked the flames with chem
ical extinguishers. Inhabitants
of nearby apartments were Or
dered to leave.
Gendarmes and troops sur
rounded the area as flame and
smoke beloved up from thu
blazing reservoir.
The fire was put out after
about an hour, but gas con-
tinued to escape from the dam
aged tank. Electric current in
che area was cut to avoid dan
ger of explosions.
The spectacular new terror
list action followed a Secret
Army pirate broadcast last
night calling for a final stanc
against Algeria's imminent in
dependence.
Fugitive former Gen. Pau
Gardy issued the order to his
outlawed followers in Orar
after stating that contacts with
representatives of Moslem Ma
tionaliSts have failed to yield
positive results.
A blaze triggered by a bomb
Quilted the Oran town hall less
than an hour after his clandes-
tine broadcast.
In Bone, Eastern Algeria, two
plastic bomb explosions re-
minded the population that the
local Secret army command
was not accepting the peace
negotiated in Algiers.
Algiers alone held on to the
precarious peace accord an
nounced Sunday by Moslem Ma
tionalist representative DR.

army leader Jean-Jacques Su.

But the accord had little
legal or binding value since il

Court Warns
On Tennessee
RedppOrtiOn

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June %
| (AP)-A special Federal court
has given the Tennessee Legis-
lature one more chance to reap
portion. itself on a constitu-
tional basis. There was a clear
warning that failure to do so
would leave the court no choice
except to do the job itself.
In its detailed opinion yes
terday, the three-judge court
said neither of the reapportion-
ment bills passed earlier this
month by the special legisla-
tive session meet strict con-
stitutional requirements.
One bill reshuffled House
seats on a modified voter pop
ulation basis. Its companion
measure allocated Senate seats
geographically.
Although neither measure
apportioned seats on a voter
population basis as required by
the State Constitution. the
court ruled the acts would be
applicable in the next election
November. The Legislatures
next regular session is next
January.
I'VE have confidence that a
legislature so elected, having
before it the views Of the court
herein set forth, as the present
Legislature did not, will adopt
a plan of reapportionment
which will comply with the
commands Of the Federal Con-
stitutiop," the opinion said.
But the court said that. If
the next Legislature failed to
come up with an agreeable re-
apportionment plan. "this
court will be under a clear and
unmistakable duty to take such
steps as will effectively &C
complish the enforcement and
vindication Of the constitu-
tional rights of the plaintiffs. "
The courts decision stemmed
from a ruling of the U. s. Su-
preme Court last March IS that
a group Of urban Tennessee
residents had a right to seek
relief from the Federal court
for failure Of the Legislature to
reapportion itself.
