A new Klingle Ford bridge in

present structure which ''because
of its antiquity its inherent weak
ness and its narrowness, is insult.
fieient for the requirements Of traf

which 1t is subjected" is asked in

The resolutions were transmitted
through r. G. Lynch. president. and

The present bridge, it Is pointed

call on Congress for funds for a

OF the District of Columbia to pro-
hibit fire. police and emergency auto.
mobiles from travelling through the
streets of the District OF Columbia
AT such a dangerous and reckless
speed so as to endanger the lives
of innocent persons In and about

is particularly necessary during the
periods of the day when so many

1T is not their desire TO limit
the speed of fire and police appa.

like every other citizen of this city.
believe that public safety depends
in a large measure upon how soon
these municipal agencies reach their
point of destination in response to
an alarm or an emergency call.
Hope for Results
But they do feel that too often
without any necessity therefor, fire
and police apparatus and ambu-
lances are caused and permitted to
race break-neck through the streets
OF this city. thereby imperiling a
number of lives. and making posi-
bic tragedy such as has occurred.
They therefore call upon You
with the hope OF getting some con.

of this city that their lives will

8 CHANGES
HINGE ON
BALLOT

The makeup OF both Senate
and House District Commits
tees may be decidedly changed
as the result Of the ballots to
be cast next Tuesday.
Six Senator's, ali Of them active
members Of the Senate committee,
are up for reelection, and the fate
Of at least four of them Is more or
less doubtful.
OF the "a members Of the House
District Cimomittee, four are not
standing for reelection, and six
oteers face such hard fights that
they may 90 down In defeat.
The reelection OF Representative
Fred zlhlman,. chairman Of the
House committee, however, ID fndi.
Gated despite the fact that he had
the hardest battle Of his political ca
reer with David y. Lewis as the OPP
posing Democratic candidate for his
seat.
Many Have Fights
Senator's on the COMMITTEES up for
reelection are:
Royal G. Copeland. Democrat. Of
New York.
william II. King. Democrat. Of
Edwarl ]. Edwards, Democrat. Of
New Jersey.
Arthur II. Vandenberg, Repub.
lican, 0f Michigan.
NJ. NJ. Nelly, Democrat, Of West
Virginia.
William CabeIl Bruce, Democrat
OF Maryland.
U these Senators, only the re-
election Of Senator Vandenberg is
said to he assured. Senator Cope
lands prospects of reelection in
New York State are now regarded
as better than s'fifty.fifty because
Of the indications that Governor
smith. with the added strength OF
Franklin p. Roosevelt as the etIber.
material candidate. will carry The
State Tor the Democratic ticket
Senator Bruce Is confronted with
stiff opposition from ex-governor
Phillips Lee GoIdsborough in Mary
land. and may 70 down IN defeat.
In Utah the chances OF Senator
William TT. King. ranking minority
member of the committee. are re-
garded as materially better than
they were three weeks ago.
Edwards I'm Doubt
The fate OF New Jersey II still
hanging in the balance. so. far as
the Presidential contest Is con
cerned, and on It's outcome prob.
ably will hang the issue of whether
Senator Edwards returns to the
Senate.
The chances OF Senator Neelv in
West Virginia. according to late
reports reaching Washington. are
regarded as poor.
Four changes in the personnel
OF the House committee in the next
Congress are certain as a result
OF the death of Representative
Henry +. Rathbone of Illinois. and
the withdrawal of Representatives
Henry l.. BowIes of Massachusetts
Thomas L. Blanton of Texas. and
George II. Combs. jr., Of Missouri.
Ine six members OF the committee
