On Waterfront
Action Is Expected
By July or August
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
SUr BUM Writer
A District renewal official to
day told a Houk District Bub
eommlttee Na hopes to
Mart leasing land in the Wash
ington Channel waterfront area
by July or August so that rede
velopment can begin promptly.
Phil A. Doyle, executive direc
tor of the District Redevelop
ment Land Agency, assured the
subcommittee there would be
plently of land to meet needs
of aD priority holders.
About 50 former businesses
displaced from the area are
entitled to priority to return
when waterfront is redeveloped.
Mr. Doyle testified at the
first of a series of public hear
ings intended to bring Wash
ington’s urban renewal ac
tivity under congressional scru
tiny.
Today’s session dealt entirely
with new plana for waterfront
developments.
May Lease Directly
The subcommittee's chair
man, Representative Dowdy,
Democrat of Texas, said the
committee "desires to be fully
informed as to the present
status of this project and the
plans proposed, and added:
"Those displaced from the
waterfront area, and the public,
should have the opportunity to
know what is proposed.”
The RLA executive director
explained that priority holders
would be afforded an oppor
tunity to "lease land directly"
from RLA or “tease from de
velopers."

Record Crowd Greets
Kennedy in Costa Rica
Speech Stresses Economic Goals,
Latins Ask Anti-Castro Action
SAN JOSE, Cost*, Rica, Mar. 18 (AP).—President Ken
nedy arrived today for a conference of Central American
Presidents and was given a rip-roaring welcome unequalled
in Costa Rica’s history.
Crowds estimated by security officials to total 250,000
lined the capital streets, broke through police lines, crowded
around Mr. Kennedy’s black
limousine, and at times halted
the cavalcade.
Welcomed by President Fran
cisco J. Orlich of Cost* Rica as
a man who carries “the respon
sibility of the free world'* on
his shoulders, Mr. Kennedy got
a foretaste of the welcome to
come when he stepped from a
helicopter at La Sabena Air
port.
“Strengthen Our Defenses”
To the cheers of several
thousand there, Mr. Kennedy
declared the three-day confer
ence with six Middle American
Presidents is designed "to
strengthen our defenses against
the forces of foreign imperial
ism.”
Then, with the President of
Costa Rica at his side. Mr.
Kennedy set out on the 2-
mile ride to downtown San
Jose. The weather was warm
but ash from last week’s erup
tion of Irazu Volcano filtered
down.
Mr. Kennedy drove through
the flag-covered main street
past crowds that dwarfed the
largest previous crowd in San
Jose—a turnout of 100.000 for
a political rally several years
ago.
His hair covered with falling
confetti, Mr. Kennedy waved
and smiled broadly to the
cheering Costa Ricans.
There were signs saying
“You Are in Your Home, Ken
nedy." The familiar Spanish
word "tu” for “you” was used
instead of the formal "usted.”
"In his arrival speech, Mr.
Kennedy put the emphasis on
economic development as the
main targets of the talks that
brought him to Central Amer
ica. Ho said the meeting would
strengthen the Common Mar
ket plan for the region.

Beall Let Out
As Chairman <
D. C. Committee
Puts in Democrat
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Statr Writer
Senator Beall, senior Repub
lican on the Senate District
Committee, today lost hte eab
committee chairmanship for
the first time in eight years.
The Maryland Senator said
immediately after an organisa
tion meeting that he thought
the non-partisan approach to
local affairs would continue.
“We never vote along party
lines," said Senator Beall, who
is up for re-election next year.
Bible Will Serve
The official reason for the
change was that Chairman
Bible, Democrat of Nevada,
for the first time took the
chairmanship of one of the four
subcommittees. He will handle
fiscal affairs because of his ex
perience and the city’s pressing
need for funds this year, com
mittee spokesmen Mid.
Politics, both of the Demo
cratic and committee varieties,
appeared to be more persuasive
if less vocal reasons for the
demotion of Senator Beall.
There are four Democrats
and four subcommittees on the
District Committee. Privately,
Democrats Bible, Hartke of In
diana. Morse of Oregon, and
Mclntyre of New Hampshire,
all subcommittee chairmen,
have wondered if their party
was undercutting their own
future candidates against Sen
ator Beall by giving the Mary
land incumbent the prestige
and publicity that goes with a
subcommittee chairmanship in
this area. •
Morse for Mclntyre
It was understood, too, that
Senator Morse was at odds
with Senator Beall on some
local legislation due to come be
fore Senator Beall’s old sub
committee on business and
commerce. So. the Oregonian
reportedly preferred the new
Subcommittee Chairman Mc-
Intyre.
Senator Morse was absent
when the committee organised
today. He is attending the Cen
tral American conference in
Costa Rica.
On his insistence, however,
Chairman Bible postponed con
sideration of seven bills, con
sidered noncontroversial after
their passage last year by the
Senate.
Senator Beall was named the
first minority chairman of any
subcommittee of a standing
Senate committee eight years
ago by the late District Com
mittee Chairman Matthew
Neely, Democrat of West Vir
ginia.
"I was very much surprised
when Senator Neely chose me,”
Senator Beall said. "Naturally,
the majority has the right to
hold subcommittee chairman
ships.
"I am grateful for anything I
can get from the majority but
I can't expect anything." Sen
ator Beall Mid.
He Mid he was not surprised
that Senator Bible wanted to
be chairman of the fiscal Af
fairs Subcommittee.
“Senator Bible is interested
in fiscal affairs and this move
is understandable and is his
prerogative,” Senator Beall
added.

Red Infiltration
Charge by U. S. i
Perils Relations 1
BRASILIA, Mar. 18 (AP).— (
President Joao Goulart has re- j
acted angrily to United States i
assertions that Communists 1
had Infiltrated his government.
A big new obstacle arose to j
harmonious relations between j
the two countries. h
Mr. Ooulart demanded that
President Kennedy personally 1
clarify the charge made by
the State Department in a
published statement to the
House Subcommittee on Latin-
American Affairs.
Mr. Ooulart issued an order
to his finance minister, Fran- 1
cisco San Tlago Dantes, to sus
pend his negotiations in Wash- '
ington for more United States
aid. Informed sources said,
however, that Foreign Minister
Hennes Lima persuaded Mr.
Ooulart to withdraw the order.
Ambassador Absolved
This was confirmed in Wash
ington when a spokesman for
the Brasilian Embassy said Mr
Dantes will return to Washing
ton Wednesday to complete ne
gotiations for more United
States aid. as originally sched
uled, after talks with financial',
leaders in New York.
Informants said the decision
to permit the Washington talks
to continue in no way weakened
Mr. Goulart's determination to
get clarification of the state
ment.
The president was apparently
I influenced by powerful left
wing nationalists among whom
i anti-American sentiment fre
i quently runs high.
The House report showed
that the Communist infiltration
i claim was originally made by
United States Ambassador
Lincoln Gordon, but the State
Department in Washington ac
cepted full responsibility and
said it should not be attributed
to Mr. Gordon.
Will Draft Note
Nevertheless, it appeared that
Mr. Gordon’s future usefulness
in Brazil had been seriously
impaired. The pipe-smoking
former Harvard professor had
been personally close to Mr
Goulart and other members of
, the Brazilian government. His
i suggestions to Mr. Goulart have
i sometimes carried enough
weight to be Msued as official
i recommendations.
Diplomats here were surprised
.at Brazil’s touchy reaction
since the charge has frequently
been made in this country.
> They were also pussled, how
. ever, that the State Depart
’ ment chose this particular time
i of negotiations to make it pub
lic in Washington.

Vaccines to Go on Sale
For T wo-Week Measles
NIH Action on Standards Paves Way
For Manufacture of Two New Types
By WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer
Two vaccines will soon be available to protect against
two-week measles, which in the past several years has killed ;
more children in the United States than polio.
Tomorrow, the National Institutes of Health’s Division
of Biologies Standards will publish standards for the manu
facture of both a live-virus vaccine and a killed-virus
vaccine. The standards add to
those published last August.
The publication of standards
in the Federal Register will be
the fnal step before the actual
licensing of qualified pharma
ceutical firms to manufacture
the two kinds of vaccine. These
firms are expected to be licensed
in a few days.
Offer Good Protection
Both vaccines offer excellent
protection against two-week
measles, a common childhood
disease that kills more than 500
Americans a year. Neither vac
cine, however, protects against
German (three-day) measles.
Although complications are
rare for children, German
measles is extremely serious for
women in the early weeks of
pregnancy. Frequently the
fetus is aborted. Babies car
ried to full term may be bom
with faulty eyes, heart or brain,
but a German measles vaccine
is also under development.
The two-week measles vac
cines both result from the Iso

Ruling Seen
Applying to
Maryland
By DANA BULLEN
•tar Staff Writer
The Supreme Court today
struck down unit voting in
State-wide elections, as it up
held a Georgia decision in
language broad enough to kill
the Maryland and Mississippi
unit systems as well.
“The conception of political
equality from the Declaration
of Independence, to Lincoln's
Gettysburg address, to the 15th,
17th and 19th amendments can
mean only one thing—one
person, one vote.” wrote Justice
Douglas, who delivered the 8-
to-1 majority opinion.
Justice Harlan was the
dissenter.
Specifically, today's ruling
upheld the decision of a three
judge Federal Court in April,
1962, which held the Georgia
unit system unconstitutional
because the votes of rural resi
dents carried more weight
than those of residents in urban
areas.
Legislation Failed
The earlier ruling had prod
ded Maryland to move toward
repealing the unit system which
it has used since 1910 in State
wide primary elections. Besides
Georgia, only Maryland and
Mississippi have continued to
use the unit system.
Legislation to repeal Mary-
I land's unit system, however,
failed to get through the cur
rent session of the General
Assembly. The Maryland Com
mittee for Fair Representation
subsequently renewed a court
fight to outlaw the Maryland
unit system. The litigation had
been withdrawn when the re
peal legislation was introduced
in the General Assembly.
, Under the Maryland unit
system, much as under the
• Georgia system involved in to
l day’s ruling, the popular vote
: does not necessarily determine
I the winner of State-wide pri
, maries. Each county and Balti
-1 more city legislative district is
: allocated the same number of
I votes as it has representation
I in the General Assembly.
! Not on Reapportionment
i Indirectly, the primary vot
> Ing power, therefore, is tied-to
' apportionment of legislative
seats. But in today's ruling, the
court seemed to emphasize that
its ruling applied to the ques
tion of unit voting only, and
i not the question of reappor
. tionment which also is tied up
in litigation bound for the
Supreme Court.
The Georgia case was orig
-1 inally filed only two hours
! after the Supreme Court ruled
’ last spring that courts could
consider legislative apportion
-1 ment questions.
It was argued before the
I court on January 17 by At
torney General Robert F. Ken
, nedy. making his debut as a
' courtroom lawyer.
Before a beaming gallery of
Kennedys including the wife
of President Kennedy he
argued the Georgia system was
a “gross and arbitrary dis
crimination by the State’s
Legislature” against the voting
power of voters in metropolitan
areas.
Discrimination Mentioned
He said the sysiem, in the
opinion of the Federal Govern
ment. should be struck down
“to help restore some confi
dence in representative Gov
ernment." He emphasised that
unit systems in themselves
might not be objectionable, but
said they are unconstitutional
if used to discriminate against
some voters.
Problems in the Georgia unit
vote case are different from
those in legislative reappor
tionment cases, the high court
was told. In the latter cases,
other factors such as geogra
phy and history might be rele
vant.
Apportionment cases have
been brought in at least 30
States since last spring’s his-
