House committee on public buildings
and grounds, who has been in charge of

niZed by Speaker LongWorth to suspend

yes upon the Cramton Park bill. but as
surances have been given that 1t will be
acted upon promptly, SO that the funds
can be included in the second deficiency

desirable so that lands for park pur-
poses may be acquired before they have

desirable for parkway purposes. 1t also
is proposed in this way to protect the
watershed Of streams flowing through
the parkway

land and Fairgrounds in the District
would be Immediately available from
the Federal Treasury. to be paid back
at the rate of 100000 a year.
$3.50 Basis for Outside Fund.
The 100000 fund outside of the
District in Maryland and Virginia would
be spent on a $3.50 basis with the
States in acquiring rights of way for
the proposed George Washington
Memorial boulevard, of which the Memo
rial highway to Mount Vernon, already
authorized at a cost of 81, SOC, 900, would
be an important link.
Part of the fund for extension of
Rock Creek and Anacostia parkways
in Maryland and Virginia would be on
basis Of one-third from the Federal
Treasury and tWo-thirds from State
funds. other political subdivisions or
private contributions.
