Th* Lighter Sid* . • ■ Congress Goofs, Plans 169 Suites Without Doors

Be dick west United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Congress may spend as much as $200,000 cutting extra doors through the walls in the new S7O million House Office Building. Apparently, nobody noticed that an additional door would be needed in each of the 169 suites until some sample rooms in the as yet unoccupied building were put on

display recently. By that time H was too late to say “oops” and start over. The major portion of the building, a part of a $131.5 million House- office expansion program, had already been completed. When the contractor was consulted, he advised House officials that it would cost between $150,000 and $200,000 to provide doors where the blueprints called for built-in metal filing cabinets. Decides Against Move The House Office Building Commission, perhaps wishing to avoid further criticism of the controversial structure, then decided against going ahead with the portal project on a wholesale basis. However, in testimony released today by a House appropriations subcommittee, Capttol architect J. George Stewart indicated that the doors would be opened piecemeal for House -members who requested it. “If any member moves into the new building and wants a doorway cut through, I am sure every effort will be made to accommodate his personal wishes,” Stewart told the subcommittee. Subcommittee chairman Tom Steed, D-Okla., predicted that “most of the members are going to insist they have additional communication facilities.” Cost Near $200,0M If such is the case, then the total cost presumably would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000. It seems unlikely that cutting the doors one at a time would be any cheaper than cutting them simultaneously. Each suite in the new building will have three rooms—one for the congressman, one for the staff and one in the middle, divided by a glass partition, for a receptionist and the administrative assistant. There is a door between the congressman’s office and the one to be used py his assistant, but there is not a door between the assistant’s office and the main staff room. Therefore, there is no way for the assistant to communicate with the rest of the staff except by going through the reception room. The extra door would provide a direct link between the two. It seems to me that the problem could be partly solved by having the congressman and his staff change places. That, however, would create another problem by Cutting the congressman 'Ol7 from his assistant. “It goes to show you that not all designers of office buildings are without fault,” commented Rep. Walt Horan, R-Wash. Offhand, I would say that is the understatement of the week.

Major News Event Pentagon Problem By CHARLES CORDDRY United Preu International WASHINGTON (UPI) _ The XB7O, one of the most controversial and revolutionary aircraft ever built, is scheduled to roll out of a Palmdale, CaMf., assembly plant in August or September, and the Pentagon is in dilemma about how to handle this major news event. Years in construction and the source of continuous friction within and between the executive branch and Congress, the XB7O is the experimental plane which the Air Force had hoped to develop into a reconnaissance and missilearmed strike craft called RS7O. What do you do when you publicly unveil a jet aircraft which is the fastest (2,000 ih.p.h), high-est-flying (70,000 ft.-plus) and the heaviest (more than 550,000 pounds) there ever was, but which you do not intend to put into production? How do you handle the roll-out ceremony, a traditional milestone with new planes, and what do you say to the public about the remarkable machine being displayed? These are questions the Defense Department, in the person of Assistant Secretary Arthur Sylvester, and th® Air Force are debating tad seeking to resolve. Promises Advance Notice Sylvester gave assurance, in answer to questions, that the roll-out date will be announced in advance and the press will be present to cover the event. But somehow an effort will be made Stainless Steel Cleaning For quick results in cleaning stainless steel kitchen utensils,, add baking soda, sodium perborate, borax, soda ash, trisodium phosphate, or any non-abrasive commercial cleaner to the wseh water. Or, wash the utensils, the scour them with lemon juice and salt. The Storage Battery To eliminate thegreen paste which' is inclined to form at the positive terminal of storage batteries, first clean the parts and wash with diluted solution of ammonia or sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid. Then apply some petroleum jelly to the parts.

to play the whole thing in low keyNo amount of Defense Department crepe hanging, however, will change the fact that the XB7O is a fantastic flying machine in its own right, embodying radical advances in technology and manufacturing processes, and certain to further the aeronautical art. There never has been anything like the XB7O, once called a manned missile. No amount of Air Force and company hooplah at the unveiling; On the other hand, will alter the fact that this particular airplane ran afoul of the missile age and is not destined for squadron service, however much it contributes to future aviation development, both military and commercial. No amount of the government’s wrestling with its problems of managing the XB7O roll-out will influence the fact that there will be large public interest in the event and the press will expect to be out in full force to cover it. Builds Three Models At a cost now expected to exceed $1.3 billion, North American Aviation, Inc., as prime contractor, is building three XB7O models. The first was slated to fly last December but ran into technical problems that have delayed its roll-out at Palmdale until late this summer and its first flight until October or November. Technical difficulties are the rule, not the exception, in advanced new aircraft, all the more so with one that makes such strides as the high alloy stainless steel XB7O. The specific problem in this case was a leak of pressurized nitrogen gas, used in the trian-gle-shaped wing to cool fuel while hiking along at three times the speed of sound. The company and the Air Force believe that the problem has been fixed, after painstaking examination of the

wing construction and nitrogen gas piping. Their present expectation is to roll-out the XB7O in August or September and start extensive ground tests at the desert center at Palmdale.
