Mr.. Kennedy said the find

challenged the Russians to
accept the principle of inspec-

The Soviet Union once agreed
to this and offered to allow
three on-site inspections on
Soviet soil a year. But it
subsequently repudiated this
agreement and seized on a
neutralist suggestion that On
site inspections be made only
by invitation of the country in
whose territory a suspicious
tremor has been detected.
The West insists that such

Compliance Asked
The subcommittee asked the
Commissioners to comply with
every Transportation Agency
request for highway deferrals
until Congress convenes in
January. The National Capital
Planning Commission was re-
queSted to stop making recon-
mendations on disputed prof.
ects until Congress acts on the
agency recommendation for a
balanced" transportation sys-
tenn.
F. De m ocratic Subcommit-
tee Chairman Whitener, reach
ed by telephone at his home

report should be regarded as
a deferral. not an end, of
highway projects.
ut is not my intention to
stop progress" Mr.. Whitener
said. But we want to progress
in an orderly way"
He said he was pleased that
subcommittee members had
seen eye to eye. Primarily, sub
committeeman were convinced
that highway-transit co-ordi-
nation was lacking here and
that the dislocation of people
by highways was a real prob
lem, the chairman said.
A Senate-passed bill to block
forever a highway in Glover
Archbold Park may die quietly
in the Whitener subcommittee
in the wake of his rebuke to
highway builders.
Sees Reasons Questioned
Mr.. Whitener would not pre-
judge the Glover-Archbold bill
which has not yet been dis
cussed in subcommittee.
But evidence at the hearing
raises a real question whether
there is any reason for the bill,
Mr.. Whitener said. He noted
that Gen. Clarke had promised
the District couldn't build the
road without splitting over its
right-of-way. The park service
is pledged to keep the District
in its 100-foot right-of-way in
Glover Archbold.
The report could be a telling
blow to the Three Sisters
bridge, which could feed the
park road.
Three Sisters cannot be built
because the park service has
denied use of its land on the
Virginia side for approaches
Gen. Clarke said. The House
has appropriated 100000 fol
the bridge. Even with an ap-
preparation, Gen. Clarke said
the bridge would be blocked I'M
less Congress specifically au-
thorized use of the land denied
by the park service.
