All District activities of the
Hospital Service Agency - in
screening and counseling per-
sons applying for United Civ
ers Fund help for hospital ex-
penses-are written out of the
aid programs new budget.
The budget, prepared for
presentation today, includes
the change, in spite of some
area physicians view that this
might permit free-loaders to
enjoy UGF aid.
The Hospital Council, which
prepared the budget, feels the
change will save up to $4,000
a year in administration costs
and won't encourage free-load-
ers at all. UGFs Health and
Welfare Council has encour-
aged the change.
The Hospital Council itself
will take over some functions
of the Hospital Service Agency,
leaving HSA to function only
in Fairfax, Alexandria and

The Redevelopment Land
Agency board plans to act at
its next meeting on February 7
to get the Maine avenue water
front project under way.
This was announced after to-
days board meeting by the
agency's executive director,
Phil A. Doyle.
The members discussed the
project for about an hour and
a half today, concerning them
selves chiefly with two issues:
Whether the agency should
utilize the services of a nom
profit corporation in carrying
out the project, and whether
the agency or such a corpora
ton, if utilized, should choose
an architect to detail the plans
for the waterfront.
At the public session of to-
days meeting, there were these
factions and comments on other
renewal projects:
Boiling Field-Chairman Nev-
lille Miller said the agency
Ought to do as much work
ahead of time" as possible to
avoid "any loss of time" on
getting the project started.
Mr.. Doyle said the agency
is working on an application
for urban renewal funds for
planning the project even
though the resolution of the
District Commissioners approx
ing redevelopment of the field
has not been transmitted to the
agency.

rector to contract with the
Philadelphia firm of Wright
Andrade, Amenta & Cane to dc
the architectural coordination
of the final design of the COM
plex with that of related public
and private development.
CarrOlIsburg The
board set a hearing for the
project design and terms for
a lease to the developer, Car
rollsburg Square Corp, for
1890 am. February Z, a half
an hour before the boards next
regular meeting.
After the executive session
Mr.. Doyle said there was mo
substantial disagreement" on
the waterfront project, but that
the members wanted a chance
to consider" the proposed form
of the overall project thor
oughly.
Putting off decisions on the
use of a non-profit corporation
and arrangements for an archi-
tect will not affect the sched-
uled award of the first con-
struction contract on the much
delayed waterfront project. The
schedule calls for award of a
contract for a 3,600-foot-long
bulkhead to extend the land
area beyond the present bulk
head line.
The Carrollsburg Square pro-
ject. which includes high ano
loW-rise reside ;ial develop
ment, was put Up for design
competition by the agency. The
winning design was prepared
by Keyes, Lethbridge and Con-
don for Charles H. Tompkins
which submitted the entry.

IS Escape Injury
In Butune Blast
On Goddard Job

Fifteen workmen escaped in
jury yesterday when a butane
gas tank exploded in a building
under construction at the God
dard Space Flight Center near
Greenbelt, Md.
The butane gas was being
used to heat footingS for the
ground floor of the building
when one of the tanks exploded
shortly after 3 pm, according
to National AeronauticS Space
Agency spokesman.
Cause of the explosion is un-
der investigation, the Spokes-
man said. None of the con-
struction workers was in the
immediate area of the blast, he
said, but all ran to safety when
flames from the burning tank
spread to the wooden footingS.
Nearly two dozen pieces of
equipment from seven Prince
Georges County fire depart
ments brought the blaze under
control within 20 minutes.

THE DEPARTMENT of Ag-
riculture has a bulletin on
popcorn but it is on how to
grow it-not how to pop it.
They probably figure that
everyone knows how to do
that.
There have been changes.
Popcorn is not the same as it
was early in the century.
Since the last war all COM
mercial popcorn is hybrid.
This has brought about
bigger yields, as it has in the
field corn, and more pop
ability. You remember there
were always a lot of unex-
ploded kernels in the bottom
Of our popcorn cages.
Good popcorn increases it's
volume 80 times in the
popping, we learned. Also
that popcorn has become
quite an industry since mo-
tion picture theaterS made it
a dime grabber.
The crop itself brings the
growers about $7.5 million at
average recent prices of So
per 100 pounds. AS good pop
corn expands by the factor
of 80, a gratified public must
pay more than $100 million
for it after it is popped.

ART BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Pro and Con on Memorial

| One of Americas leading
modern architects, Philip C
johnson, designer of the mod
ernistic Seagram's Building ir
New York, told the Fine Arts
members the Roosevelt Memo.
rial is "the epitome of mid goth
century art
Douglas Haskell, editor OF
Architectural Forum, said some
have called the memorial lin
slant Stonehenge" and this is
unwittingly a compliment be-
cause instant puts the pres
ent into it,"
Attacking the design, John
Harbeson, president of the Ma
tional Academy of Design. said
it is not worthy of a memorial
to Roosevelt. He called it dis
orgonized ugly forms i.
and not a symbol of greatness"
He said there is no symbolism
in the design and criticized the
use of long excerpts from
RooSevelt's speeches which ne
said would be difficult to read.
Mr.. Harbeson said concrete
is not fitting and that in the
Washington climate no con-
crete building lasts Is years
without cracking.
Backing Mr.. HarbeSon was
Paul Jennewein, president of
the National Sculpture Society,
who said the form of the design
is abstract"
Opposition to the memorial
also came from the Committee
of One Hundred on the Federal
City. Speaking for the group,
Admiral Neill Phillips said it
is too soon to erect a memorial
to Roosevelt. He also said the
location is the wrong place for
the memorial.
The Fine Arts members dis
cussed the design for an hour
behind closed doors, and then
David Finley, the commission
chairman, announced the mat
ter would be taken under ad-
visement until the groups next
meeting in February.

Pops q

BY GEORGE KENNEDY


The other day Mrs. r.
brought a novelty home with
the weekend shopping.
It was a little tin with a
handle, just right for the
electric range. 1t was covered
with aluminium foil coiled
for expansion with a small
hole in the center to allow
expanded air or steam to
escape.
1t was labeled Popcorn, 20
cents, makes about a gallon"
There was great interest
when she got around to
popping 1t popcorn makes
children of us all.
When the pan was placed
on a hot burner, a muffled
popping could be heard
within. The aluminium foil
slowly rose to form a perfect
hemisphere.
At this point, according to
directions, the corn was
popped and, sure enough,
when she opened the hemi-
sphere, it was filled with fat,
white, pristinely pure, fresh
ly popped popcorn.
Who would think there
could be anything new about
popcorn?

views on identical bills by Sem
ator William B. Hopkins and
Delegate Kossen Gregory. both
of Roanoke, to prevent the
State from withholding money
from any locality in which a
parent obtains a tuition grant
after the local governing body
refuses to put up its share of
the money.
II believe it (the tuition
grant law should remain sub
stantially in its present form, -
Gov. Harrison said.
It has been contended by
some that the law now is being
abused by parents who would
send their children to private,
non-sectarian schools, anyway
receiving up to $275 a year for
each child's education.
Mr.. Harrison agreed that
there are instances of what
some people think of as abuses,
but I do not regard them as
abuses"
Was he fearful that tamper-
ing with the present law might
lead to abandonment of free
dom-of-choice in education, a
reporter inquired?
Il think possibly it would" !"
Gov. Harrison answered.
Silent on Blue Law
In another field, the Gov
ernor was asked about a bill
by Senator E. o. McCue, jr.,
for a local-option blue law
which would allow counties and
cities to exempt themselves
from the State ban against
transaction of most business on
Sundays.
He said he had not made up
his mind on the blue law; that
people have strong feelings
about it and that "It is just
like Daylight Saving Time
You are going to find just as
many opinions on it as you
have people,"
On other subjects, Gov. Har-
rison said he hoped to leave
relatively unchanged the over
all budget total recommended
by Gov. Almond for the next
two years. He made it plain,
however, there would be some
shifts in recommendations
within this budget.
Particularly, he said, there
would be a plan for about SO
million more for highways.
This would come chiefly out of
road funds now used for such
"diversionary" functions as
State Police patrol and the
convict road force, and using
this money for highway con-
struction and repairs.
