STREET WIDENING
|NvOLvESGASFUND
Whitehurst Tells Advisory
Council S25O,O00 of Levy
Will Be Spent.

The District plans to spend $3.50
900 of the gasoline tax fund in the
fiscal year 192S-1929 for the widen
ing of streets, Capt. II. G. White
hurst, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner, advised the Citizens Advis-
Dry Council yesterday afternoon dur
ing it's consideration of the esti-
mates of the department heads of
the District Government.
Only three widening projects are
contemplated, according to Capt
Whitehurst Connecticut avenue
from NJ street to Dupont Circle
Seventeenth street from II to *
street, and the roadway around Du
pont Circle. The latter will involve
the cutting of S feet from the side
walk around the circle and the re-
laying of the car tracks.
Will Buy Trucks.
Capt. Whitehurst also revealed the
plans Of the Highway Department to
buy 81 motor trucks for $4,000 to
avoid the renting of that many for
$50 days each year, thus saving $45,-
900 year on maintenance. 1t now
costs the District $154,O0O a year
to rent trucks for street work, he
explained. Even after buying 81
trucks, he said, it would be neces-
aary to rent some during peak load
periods.
Approval of an item of $17S,00O
for the repair of the floor of Highway
Bridge was urged by Capt. White
hurst. but he said he hoped an item
of $250,000 for starting work on the
replacement of the Klingle Road
Bridge in Connecticut avenue would
be replaced by an item of $350,000
for the rebuilding of the Chain
Bridge. The Klingle Road Bridge
structure, he pointed out. is sound
and it's flooring is to be replaced this
year, whereas the Chain Bridge soon
will have to be closed to traffic I'M
less rebuilt. The reason for the
delay in replacing Chain Bridge. he
said, is to be found in the refusal of
Virginia to share the expense.
Park Area Increase.
The council questioned Capt. White
hurst closely concerning an item of
$4,000 for the purchase of small park
areas, which would be turned over to
the Nationa, Capital Park and Plan
ming Co mission. The appropriation
for the small park areas for the com
ing year is $4,000, it was brought out,
while an increase of $4J 900 is sought
for this purpose.
]. h. Gordon, sanitary engineer, and
Maj. w. +. r. Covell, senior assistant
Engineer Commissioner, also appeared
before the council to explain certain
items in their estimates for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1929.
The council will resume it's consid.
Grafton of the budget this afternoon.
Meetings will be held every afternoon
this week. excluding Saturday.

Declares 1t Party Issue.
IF free government means any.
thing, it means precisely that issues
of this kind should form the basis of
party contests and popular decisions.
1.-The avowed object of preventing a
party decision upon the prohibition
question is to gain votes that would
otherwise be lost.
THE need for courageous leadership
is peculiarly imperative today because
under the surface of the political
apathy and material prosperity in the
country, developments of grave
nature are in progress which, if not
impressed upon the public mind, may
menace the perpetuation of American
traditions and our very future as a
free people.
1.-THE last few years have witnessed
a widespread revival and reSurgence
VI NOi upL UOllliCS. AS I0e
attention of the people has become
more and more engrossed in their
private affairs, their vigilance has
relaxed and the old political machines
which have held many of our cities in
their grip since the days Of Boss
Tweed in New York and the gas house
ring in Philadelphia. have taken
advantage of the opportunity to renew
their power.
Cites "Slush" Disclosures.
I'm two national campaigns they
have disrupted and paralyzed one of
our great political parties. The signs
or their activity are all about it,
They are apparent i'm the startling
corruption and frauds which have
marked the senatorial campaigns and
elections in several States. They are
apparent in the effort Of great mu-
nicipal bosses to set themselves up
as President makers. But, most
dangerous of all. the rising influence
of machine politics is seen in the
increase of crime and lawlessneSs
and in the concerted attack on the
eighteenth amendment.
'"The old machines are still selling
public privileges and immunities.
''AlD public questions of moment are
kept from the attention of the voters.
They are deceived by appeals to
prejudice, and when these do not
avail, power is Wrested from them
by intimidation and fraud at the
polls.
Leadership like that Of Andrew
Jackson is imperatively needed to re-
affirm in deeds that admit of no mis-
understanding the true faith in the
gospel of the great philosopher
statesman of Monticello. 1t
is high courage of this kind that is
the most vital need of American life

HENRY FORD DEFENDANT
 IN MILLION DOLLAR SHIT

DETROIT The attempt of the counsel for Aaron Sapiro to intro duee a new paragraph in the bill of complaint against Henry Ford in his million dollar libel suit, was denied by the judge. The counsel asserted that the word Jew as used in the Dearborn Independent. Ford's newspaper, was a term of scorn.
 Tn attacking the move of sapi- ro's counsel, Senator James Reed of Missouri. who is handling the case for Ford, said that the defense was not attacking the Jewish race. The prosecution then put Ford's plea of justification under fire, ac- cusing the motor car manufacturer of failing to answer charges.
 Ford's articles accused Otto Kahn, Bernard Barusch, Albert A. Lasker and Julius Rosenwald of helping Sapiro, who accuses Ford of saying he was the agent of a number of international bankers.
