Washington Prepares Plans For Expanding Taft Center Space Is Needed To Add Offices Of Public Health $1 Billion Voted REDS TOLD For City Works, By Three Allies 60-26; An Senate That Tre-Summit' KC La i Talks Can Begin WASHINGTON, April 18 (AP) The Senate tonight passed an antirecession bill to lend $1 billion in Federal funds to cities and states for public works projects. The vote was 60-26. The bill now goes to the House. The measure was sponsored by Senate Democrats. The Eisenhower administration opposed it in the Senate Banking Committee and Republicans succeeded there in cutting It By Phillip M.

Taft Sanitary Engineering; Center to encompass work of two additional public health agencies are now being prepared, it was learned today. Expansion would result in another building at least twice the size of the present building on Columbia Parkway, or it could result in several more smaller buildings, creating a unique, environmental health "campus."

Jenner said the trouble with the anti-recession program of the majority leader, Senator Johnson, "is that it is going at top speed in the wrong direction." He said: "It la talcing us at top sped to runaway inflation, to a dollar worth 25 cents, 18 cents, 18 cents." "Every vote we cast for one of his spending bills," Jennex declared, "Is a vote to send our country farther down the road to socialism. Jenner argued that the loan funds could not be put to work promptly to relieve unemployment. However, Sen. John Spark-man Ala.) said the banking committee had been advised many cities over the country have projects ready to be started immediately. However, Republicans failed on the Senate floor today in an effort to chop the bill down further to $300 million.

This was beaten 52-33. The bill would authorize 50-year loans at 31 per cent interest. There could be a two-year postponement on payment of interest and principal on the loans. Sponsors said it would principally aid small cities because large municipalities now can borrow at less than 3 'j per cent from private sources. Cities are expected to be the biggest beneficiaries of the bill, with states making relatively little use of It.

The Senate accepted by voice vote an amendment of Sen. Arthur Watkins Utahl, adding nonprofit hospitals to the list of projects eligible for loans. Other typical projects which could be financed would include sidewalks, schools, libraries, airports, garbage disposal plants and civil defense structures. Sen. Lyndon Johnson Tex.) said the administration was lending larger funds to foreign nations for similar projects at lower interest rates.

"The government, is acting like Scrooge," Senator Hubert Humphrey Minn.) said. He said the government could obtain funds at less than 3'4 per cent "and ought not to in the banking business in trying to make a profit from such loans. Sen. William Jenner Ind.) Dr. David Price, chief, Bureau of State Services, Public Health Service, said the form of expansion would be decided by construction considerations whether the available land at the center would support that big a building, or whether because of soil conditions, two or more smaller buildings would be best.

Dr. Price, who Is preparing a Study for the Surgeon General, aald, undjr the plan, the occupational health field center, now located at 1014 Broadway, would bu moved to the expanded center and the laboratory work of the newly created division of radiological health would be carried on there. "I would like very much to see these various laboratory programs located where they could easily work together on common problems," Dr. Price said. "They have so many mutual interests "They sanitary engineering, occupational health and radiological health all deal with some aspect of the environment and all have, to some extent, toxicologies! approach to their problems," he stated.

Furthermore, they all make use of very costly, very sophisticated instrumentation," Dr. Price said. 'They could very nicely make us of one another's 'fancy' gadgets and know-how. It would be a more efficient operation." It is not yet definite that the new "multipurpose facility" project shelves another center project which had become active in recent months. That ert was construction of one other building, for use only by the sanitary engineers.

It was to contain 92,000 square feet of floor space about what the existing building provides and rout (7.3 million. The second building at the center was to provide space for training and administrative activities, now occuptng expensive tnil needed laboratory space in the original building, and to provide for the first time ape-rial laboratories for radiological health research work. This project was not Included In the budget for fiscal 1960, though it had support of the House Appropriations Subcommittee chairman, Rep. John E. FoRarty R.

An effort was made to have it Included in the supplemental appropriations bill for fiscal 1959 as part of the anti-recession program, but the administration would not give its endorsement on that basis and it failed. Chances of the new, and much larger, project winning congressional approval are considered to be better because elements of urgency have been Injected. The Occupational Health Division is In great need of new snd larger quarters and it was in the search for these quarters that the multipurpose project evolved. Concern over the growing problem of radioactivity first resulted In the creation of the new division of radiological health and now lends weight to the argument for laboratory facilities. Both these needs, plus those of the Sanitary Knglneerlng Center, would be met In the combined program.

Dr. Price's proposal will go to the Surgeon General for his approval and then to the department secretary. There have been strong indications of support to that level. There -is, however, little chance of any congressional action this year. WASHINGTON, April 16 Wi President Eisenhower took aim at Harry S.

Truman today and said he never would go for a program that might "flood the country with money" and shoot prices upward. Eisenhower again held back on any immediate tax cut to pump up purchasing power and combat the recession. He told a news conference he had made his position crystal clear this business of a tax cut will be taken up when he can be convinced it "will be for the benefit of the United States." The Chief Executive also erected caution and slow signs in the path of public-works legislation, whereas former President Truman is urging heavier spending on works projects. Truman told a House committee Monday the recession is very serious and proposed a $5 billion tax cut for middle and low income families. He said this could be offset by wiping out special tax privileges, closing tax law loopholes and bringing down interest payments on the national debt.

And, of course, Eisenhower was asked about the views of his predecessor. He said he wasn't commenting on anybody elses' recommendations and suggestions then proceeded to comment. After restating his position on taxes, Eisenhower picked out the point of fixing or lowering interest rates on the debt. This would have to be done by a Federal Board, he said, and "they would have to, if necessary, flood the country with money to keep that rate at a sustained basis. This means wrth that kind of money running around, then prices would have to go up." He said that is a kind of program he, for one, "would never go for." As for vast public works, the President said that "you have got to be very, very careful about" proposing them as antirecession moves.

If they all reach an expenditure peak at the same time, he said, remember that "what this country will need to appropriate and take out of the private pocket-book to pay for these things is going to be very great indeed." Eisenhower summed up, "I am trying to say: Let's try to be reasonable. Let's try to use some common sense and not just get a sputnik attitude about everything." Running through the news conference were such additional topics as: Golf: The President was told that Rep. James C. Wright Jr. (D, Tex.) says Eisenhower would see the great need for legis-tion to help communities build public works if he would lay off some of his golf and visit some small cities.

"I don't; know who the Congressman Is," Eisenhower replied, "but I'll- tell you this: I have probably I have visited many, many more small towns, villages and farms than he has." France: The Chief Executive said he knows of no justification for criticism of U'. S-. policies in debate in the French Parliament which preceded last night's fall of the government of Premier Felix Gaillard. He called the criticism a "political gimmick." Since there will be a caretaker government in France, Eisenhower says he sees no cause for trouble ahead for a possible East-West summit conference or meeting of allied defense ministers. Acheson: Eisenhower said that he has' agreed from the beginning with the view of Dean Acheson, Secretary bf State under Truman, that participation of a Prealdent in summit conferences impairs the Chief Executive's ability to Judge with detachment.

But he added that "I am still ready to take the risks" is there la any real promise for bringing about a forward step, Russian Nuclear Tests: While there always is some local danger, Eisenhower says he believes that in a general sense recent Soviet nuclear tests have not been numerous or powerful enough "to create any dangerous situation." United States and France told the Soviet Union today they are ready to begin talks tomorrow on the major issues In preparation for a Summit Conference. But they Insisted on going far deeper Into issues at the diplomatic level than the Russians wish to go. Thus they put the next move up to 'the Russians and the Kremlin was silent. Similar notes from the three Western powers delivered to Andrei Gromyko, Soviet Foreign Minister, accepted the Russian proposal of April 11 that preparatory talks for a Summit Conference begin on the diplomatic level tomorrow. They rejected, however, the suggestion that the diplomatic exchanges be confined to such simple housekeeping matters as arranging the time and place for a later Foreign Ministers' conference to lay the groundwork for Summit talks.

The West insisted that the diplomats take up the "major questions and issues," explore them "in snd see if there Is a reasonable prospect of achieving concrete results." READY AT ONCE The three Western Ambassadors, Llewellyn Thompson of the United States, Sir Patrick Reilly of Britain, and Maurice Dejean, representing a lame-duck French government, told Gromyko in 500 -word notes they would make themselves available tomorrow for the talks. A Western diplomat said this meant the Ambassadors did not plan to call at the Soviet Foreign Ministry tomorrow or take any further steps "unless a reply to our notes of today requests us to do so." The initiative for starting discussions "is now in the hands of the Soviet Foreign Ministry," he said. Most Western authorities doubted that the Soviet government would agree to such broad talks Immediately. The whole emphasis of the Western notes, approved by all the North Atlantic Allies, was on "broadly based talks on basic problems of world tension." Diplomats in Moscow, the notes added, were in a better position "to determine and examine the positions of various governments on various issues" than were the Foreign Ministers because the Ministers "cannot be absent from their countries for prolonged periods." NO MORE LETTERS' The Western powers also suggested that "discussions would be more liKely to lead to agreement than a further exchange of published communications" a reference to the many publicized letters of former Premier Nikolai Bulganin to President Eisenhower and other Western chiefs and their replies. For months the Russians have been plugging for a top-level meeting, and have attacked the Western demand for preliminary exploratory talks aa an evasive tactic But the West declined to commit itself to holding a Summit Conference which might prove to be only a propaganda tournament The Kremlin wishes the Sum Invasion Begins On Indo Coast I ii, Road Bill Signed To Create Work Hernando's Hideaway?

There were no casualties In a a or on the warships, which retired behind the cover of offshore islands. The warships were accompanied by five troop transports. Rebel sources believed they were jammed with four Army battalions, one of Marines and another of paratroopers. Rebel Army intelligence said as many as 6000 government troops may swarm ashore on a fleet of rafts and oil barges assembled earlier in the Mentawi Islands, 100 miles off Padang. (In Jakarta, an Army communique said government forces were' stabbing east- toward Bukittinggl and Padang from inland positions.

It said a major rebel supply route from Southern Sumatra had been cut off. This drive Is expected to be coordinated with the assault from the sea.) The rebels claimed their Jong-range guns drove the warships to seek cover behind the offshore islands. They used old Australian 37-mlllimeter artillery pieces. It seemed that before any government landing could be successful these guns would have to be knocked out. The rebels also have gun positions in the hills overlooking the city.

Any landing force could be caught in a deadly crosstlre. JAKARTA, April 17 (Thursday) The Indonesian Navy announced Thursday that the invasion of Sumatra's West Coast to crush the rebellion against President Sukarno's government began at dawn. PADANG, Central Sumatra, April 16 UP Indonesian war-snips opened fire on this port city today in an apparent prelude to the, big offensive against Central Sumattan rebels. The rebels braced for a possible amphibious landing by 6000 men at dawn tomorrow. A destroyer and four corvettes lobbed shells for two hours, but all dropped harmlessly into the steaming mountain Jungles behind this rebel stronghold.

Rebel shore batteries also were far oft their targets. Few of their 24 answering rounds came any closer than 800 yards from the fast little warships. Padang's civilian population was much too interested in gaping at the bursting shells to take cover. The civilians were disturbed only by the noise of the booming guns' and the squawking of thousands of Chinese Skies!

Yesterday's high reading was 75 degrees, the five-day outlook indicates temperatures from 52 to 73 de Local Effects The immediate effects Of the new highway bill on the Greater Cincinnati area haven't been spelled out yet.

State highway officials have said, however, that the state's $2 million share of the new Federal money probably wiH be used on county roads rather than large interstate highways. Hamilton County official said they could use additional funds on projects already planned and programmed, like the Columbia Parkway extension, or future projects, like widening of Winton Road. Cincinnati officials say they can always use more money' to accelerate work on the Millcreek Expressway. mainly to the bill's provision to drop, for one year, the 60-50 Federal-state division of the cost of work on Federal aid programs outside the interstate network. Th bill provides that for one year, the states need put up only $1 to each $2 of Federal money for primary, secondary and urban Federal-aid roads.

Eisenhowensaid: "I deplore the possibility that some may try to use this departure from a sound arrangement as a precedent for emulation. This I would resist." He used the words "another damaging precedent" In taking exception to a plan In the bill for states to obtain Federal advances to finance most of their one third cost of additional work on primary, secondary and urban roads. IN THE ENQUIRER WASHINGTON, April 16 UP) President Eisenhower ended the suspense today and signed the $1.8 billion highway bill. He found things wrong with It precedents he said he wouldn't like to see followed In the future but decided to go along becaur of prospects it could bo a quick help In creating Jobs. There had been advance Indications that Eisenhower would sign, but no certainty.

Only last Saturday a big Chicago meeting to discuss highway construction was called off because of doubt as to whether the bill would become law. The bill was pressed chiefly by Sen. Albert Gore but it had bipartisan backing, notably by Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel Calif It won 84-4 approval in the Senate and the House voted for it 300-28.

The new law alms at these major goals: To provide new jobs. Gore estimated that 88,000 could be created this year. It was estimated that the new Jobs would swell to 520,000 in time, To get the superhighway interstate network back on the 13-year schedule set for it in 1956. Otherwise the prospect was for a long stretch-out. To establish a national policy of regulating billboards on the interstate system and giving states incentives to carry out this policy.

States agreeing to regulate billboards would get a bonus of of 1 per cent of the cost of the interstate sections regulated by the agreement The bill is. spoken of as a $1.8 billion meaaiire because that is the sum u-is estimated will be available for construction this year beyond the money previously scheduled. It raises to $55 billion the amount to be spent this year on the over-ail Federal-state highway program. The- Federal government pays 90 per cent of the cost of the interstate network, the states 10 per cent. Where states go along with ths billboard control arrangement, the Federal share will be per cent Eisenhower's objections were mit talks to concentrate on the broad problem of disarmament.

More than 200 persons stood around Gaytan's home and the crowd steadily grew. Rodriguei sat at the brink of the excavation on a chair and with a long pane directed the digging. He referred from time to time to a flagstone from Gaytan's yard, which he said contains a treasure map. "Go a little slow over there, rautioned the diggers in Spanish. "You might be near the entrance to the tunnel." Gaytan said that even if they run out of stones to dig under, they will keep on digging in the earth until Rodriguez tells them it is pointless to keep on.

Rodriguez thinks gold, "in three deposits," was buried in a tunnel below where Gaytan's home now is by Louis de Moscoso de Alvarado, a lieutenant of Hernando de Soto. De Moscoso buried de Soto near the Mississippi River and pushed on into Texas in 1541 with 311 men. R. King Harris, a former president of the Texas Dallas Archeological Societies, said it is "quite possible" that de Moscoso tame into this area. He said a Spanish axe with an inlaid ilver blade and a sliver chain mail gauntlet, dating back to the 1540s, has been found around Dallas.

DALLAS, April 18 (UP) A pick and shovel gang pounded away today at chunks of limestone under which praline maker Eugemo Gaytan hopes to find a fortune in Spanish gold. The chunks of stone are at the bottom of a 12-foot hole under the biggest bedroom in Gaytan's five-room home. He lives in a secton of Dallas formerly known as Polecat HUL Gaytan and his two sons had to tear up the floor of the bedroom to start excavating two weeks ago. But he said losing- the floor of the bedroom didn't discommode him, because the bedroom was haunted anyway. A pick and shovel gang two men at a time working 30 minutes at a time and then being relieved by two fresh men-broke up and lifted three stones from the shaft today.

Gaytan, 77, and Miguel Rodriguez, 58, an amateur treasure hunter from Del Rio, Tex, expected that they would find the entrance to a tunnel under the three tones. Beneath the three stones were three more r-tones and the excavators, working under the lenses of a television camera sticking through the bedroom window, pounded away at them.
