TWO CHANGES ASKED
IN HIGHWAY SCHEME
Circle at Military and Rock Creek
Ford Roads Also Considered
by Planning Body.

Two changes in the highway plan
of the Capital were recommended to
the District Commissioners today by
the city and park planning committee
OF the National Capitol Park Com
mission.
The committee recommended that
the proposed Cedar street as now laid
down on the highway plan between
Piney Branch road and Georgia ave-
nue. be abandoned. It was explained
by Maj Carey y. Brown. chairman Of
the COMMITTEES. that this territory had
developed to such an extent that 1t
would be impracticable to cut the
street through.
The committee also made recon-.
mendations for the preservation and
widening of Bates road in the vicinity
of Fort Totten. This road runs north
from Allison street between Rock
Creek Cemetery and the Soldiers
Home Cemetery. 1t was recommended
that it be widened TO 90 feet.
The committee also had under con-
sideration proposal for construction
of a circle at the intersection of Mill
tary and Rock Creek Ford roads. 1t
was pointed out that this Is the west
ern entrance of Rock Creek Park, and
the placing of circle there would
make an attractive entrance to the
parkway as we'll as relieve a serious
traffic situation caused by a sharp
turn in the road. The matter was
referred to the District government
and will be studied in the office of
the surveyor.

HOLDS MINERALS
OUTWEIGH POLITICS
Expert Says Demand for Ore
Must Override National
Boundaries.

The conviction that tie satisfaction
Of world demands for minerals must
override political boundaries was ex.
pressed BIZ DR.. Charles X. Leith, pro-
fessor Of geology, University of Wis.
consin. last night in an address before
can Institute of Mining and Metallur.
gical Engineers in the United States
Chamber Of Commerce Building
Commercial CONTROL" DIR. Leith de-
clared, lis rapidly becoming organ
lied in such large units that il also
crosses political boundaries.
I'VE are therefore witnessing the
mighty conflict of two powerful op-
posing forces. on the one hand, world
demand for minerals, which knows no
political boundaries. and which is
forcing unfflcation in order that de-
mand may be adequately satisfied; on
the other hand. the nationalistic forces
directed toward partitioning resources
for national gain or security. 1t
seems clear that the tendency toward
unification required by the geographic
distribution of mineral resources
must In the long run prevail.
The inequalities of mineral distri-
button cannot be changed by enact
ment or reprisal, though attempts in
this direction have not been few, as
illustrated by certain recent tariff
measures
Observation-Disclosures of resources,
in the sense of turning them over to
some supernatural control is prob
ably a political impossibility, even If it
were desirable, but there is an oppor-
tunity to recognize and standardize
by international agreement the many
international commercial arrange
ments which are now effecting a fair
and workable compromise between
world demand on the one hand and
nationalistic policies on the other"

CROSSINGS ABOLITION

Continued from First Page
Buren street, which is the Lamond
crossing where three persons were
killed a year ago, bur thai when bids

sufficient
Railroad officials agreed that tn.
Takoma Park crossings are danger
Gus. and that the Michigan avenue
crossing. which is protected by i gate.
is also dangerous. The Takoma ParE
crossings are not protected by gates
their only protection being fiagmen
to warn approaching vehicles or pedes-
trians of the approach of trains. While
they said the Baltimore and Ohio
grade crossing elimination program
does not contemplate immediate acticu
at Takoma Park, they hoped to abolish
the danger points shortly.
The Van Buren, street or LamonG
Station crossing is practically level
with only a slight incline from nortL
to south. At both crossings the tracks
are visible for hundreds of yards il.
either direction.
Yesterdays accident at ChestEu.
street was the first a that point.
A measure for elimination Of the
Michigan avenue crossing near Tenth
street northeast is now pending in tho
Senate The work would cost $9cG
600.
After the triple tragedy at Van b.
rem street a year ago the Commission
ers took under consideration the or
tire problem of ridding the city OF
grade crossings. They adopted a pol
icy of asking Congress to provide FOR
abolition of one crossing annually uu
til all have been replaced with bridges

Mr.. Zihlman determined at his cor
ference with the commissioners th#l
all the remaining grade crossings can
be abolished ar a gross cost OF about
$500 900. about onethird nf WhiC!
would fall on the District taxpayer.
There are now five grade CrosSin-
in the District. The LamoEd CrosSiI4-
was authorized TO be abolished las

der an appropriation OF $50 coo. /
| has been delayed, however for lacS

( ficiency appropriation bin, which
passed the House last week and on
I which favorable action was taken hH
! the Senate committee yesterday.
Cost of All Work.
1t was estimated today that 1t VIII
cost approximately $4,000 to abolish
the Chestnut street crossing.
| The estimated cost for aboiishiuE
| the Bates road. or Narnum street
| crossing is $4,000.
To abolish the Quarles street cross
| ing at Kennelworth. the cost would
| probably be about $500 900.
This makes a gross total of 1863 ,060
necessary to abolish the other four
| grade crossings after the Lemond
! appropriation is available. The leg
| iSlation, however, provides that the

| District to the extent of one-half Tho
expense, and that If street railway
companies use the viaduct replacinc

estimated that the District eventually
would pay only one-third of the en-
tire COST or about 100000.
