SchwengeI to Join
House District Unit
Two Vacancies
Still Not Filled
By Republicans
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

The House today put one
Republican Representative
Schwengel of Iowa - on the
House District Committee, but
couldn't find any other party
members TO fill two vacancies.
No candidate volunteered to
fill the second Republican seat
emptied at the beginning Of
this session.
And Representative Tupper,
Republican Of Maine. asked to
get off the committee and was
given his wish.
Mr.. Tupper said he asked to
leave the District Committee
so he could devote time to his
own district, enlarged by redis-
tricting to about 100000 con-
stituents.
During the 87th Congress,
I faithfully attended the many
time consuming meetings Of
the District Committee, and
hope some other Republican
member will volunteer for the
assignment for the next two
years." he added.
There was speculation that
either Representative Widnall,
Of New Jersey, or McDade of
Pennsylvania might agree to
join the District Committee
minority. Mr.. Widnall, who
ranks second among Republi-
cans on Banking and Currency,
Ireportedly had wanted Science
and Astronautics as a second
committee. All vacancies on
the space committee were filled
without him.
Boosted by Democrats
Freshman McDade has been
boosted by some local Demo-
Gratis. an endorsement which
carried little weight with Re-
publican policy makers in the

rule. 10-to-5. after appoint
ments Of substitutes for q pro-
home-rule slate urged by Dis
trict Democrats.
Mr.. Schwengel has his own
ideas about how a local gov
ernment should be organized.
He said he wanted Congress
TO elect representatives to sit
on a Capital City council,
other members Of which would
be elected by Washington resi-
dents.
His council would number
about 80. The congressional
spokesmen could number two
or three, he said.
To Consult Leaders
He plans to consult with civic
leaders before drafting the de-
tails Of his new home-rule pro-
posal. 1t would be patterned
broadly after President Eisen-
hower's proposed territorial
government, with a presiden-
tally appointed governor and
an elected assembly or council
larger than the seven-member
council first recommended by
President Kennedy.

Mr.. Newman said the archi-
tectural firm had also noted
unsightly cracks in interior
walls.

will get worse or not" Mr.. New
man said, adding that the
school board intended to check
it out throughly."
Mr.. Newman, in his surprise
appearance before the super
visors, said that Mark Twain
was the only school out of nine
checked where possible struc-
tural defects were found.
Builder to Return
Curtis English, president of

Of Altavista, Va, which built
the school, said his firm was
planning to return to the site
to do a little work"
Mr.. English said he did not
know the specific items that
officials wanted corrected but
that if there were anything
wrong with the construction or
the materials "we'n be glad to
correct it,"
"Of course, If it's a design
item. it's somebody else's prob
lem," he added.
The architects, Strang g.
Childers of Annandale, released
this statement:

did the job and two independ-
ent structural engineers have
gone over the school and have
concluded that the school is
structurally sound"
