ARLINGTON BRIDGE
GRADING BIDS OPEN
Approach to Cemetery Is Ex-
peCted to BE Begun Some
Time in Fall.

Work on the pretentious approach to
the Arlington Memorial Bridge from
Arlington National Cemetery of the Vir-
GINA area will be brought step nearer
when bids are opened soon for the grad
ing work that will form the basis for
the memorial avenue.
President Hoover and his colleagues
on the Arlington Memorial Bridge Com
mission propose to begin the grading
work this Fall. Under this phase of the
program, 10000 cubic yards of this
will be excavated out of the slope that
leads from the Boundary Channel
Bridge, now nearing completion on the
Virginia shore up to the cemetery. Sew
eral knobs and rises in the land will
be cleared away so that the projected
avenue will lie on the back of a ridge,
commanding an extensive view.
1t Is proposed to construct the Memo
rial avenue so that an easy grade will
stretch from the Virginia shore of the
Potomac River up to the entrance of
Arlington National Cemetery.
The Memorial avenue or parkway will
be 200 feet wide and will be built west
ward from Boundary Channel to the
memorial entrance to Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery, inside the present east
wall.
Excavated material from the Virginia
slope Is to be deposited on Columbia
Island so that that wilderness can be
transformed into a park land of rare
beauty in keeping with the plan of the
commission sanctioned by the Fine Arts
Commission.

nists insisted on having a street meet
ing after permits had been denied MEM
bers of the group by police. The de-
tective and some of his men broke up
the crowd a short while after it had
collected. 1t was the Communists first

Many of Watson's fellow Communists

Construction of $4,000
Project viii Be Completed
by May |.

Construction of a nine-hole, $50 900
golf course in Anacostia Park near the
Eleventh Street Bridge will be started

by the board of trustees of the We'll
fare and Recreational Association of
Public Buildings and Grounds, Inc, a
corporation headed by Lieut.. Col. u. S.
Grant, Sd. director of public buildings

the whole matter, which has been
pending for some time, and decided
that finances are in order to proceed at
once so that the new golf course for
citizens of the Southeast might be put
into commission by May next.
The nine-hole golf course will be
so constructed that it can be extended
to an 18-hole course later, If warranted.
AS F. w. Hoover, the associations gen.
eral manager, has now a number of
bids before him, previously called for,
the awarding of a contract will follow
a discussion with the bidders, to aScer-
tain if there is any dificulty in getting
the green's started this Fall.
Construction Of the golf course will
mean that part Of the public gardens
of the Anacostia region, near the Penn
sylvania Railroad, will have to be
abandoned. Mr. Hoover explained that
the gardens were permitted on the park
land this year on condition that only
crops maturing early would be sown.
Under the program, the board dl-
rected that field house, already con-
structed be improved inside, but Mr..
Hoover made it plain that there will
be no remodeling of the structure. Gas
facilities were installed some time ago
and it is now necessary to extend cleo
trio lines to the building. 1t is expected
that this will be done during the Winter
season.

MOVIE PROJECTION
WORKERS REMAIN
Developments in Possible "Sym-
pathy Strike" Await OFF,
Gals Arrival.

While local union motion picture
projection machine operators have re-
ceived no cancellation of orders from
their national headquarters TO walk out
in sympathy with musicians when the
latter are locked out Thursday and
Friday Of this week. it developed today
that the local managers association
does not recognize that the union men
are at work in independent houses this
week because of a truce" agreement.
These men had been ordered by their
national headquarters to continue at
work in spite Of the fact that musicians
were discharged Sunday in the indie
pendent theaters.
AS a result of meeting of the Motion
Picture Theater owners Association
yesterday, it is understood a letter was
addressed to the projectionists notify
ing them of the managers position that
the operators were at work because they
were under contract to be so. Thus far
no man has left his position in the
booths as q result of the musicians con-
troversy.
Further developments in the oper-
ators' sympathy strike" dispute will
hinge upon the arrival here OF William
j, Herrer, vice president of the Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees and Moving Picture Machine
Operators. Herrer was here last Friday
10 arrange for the pOstponement of the
strike pencing negotiations. He is ex-
peoted here within a day or so.
The musicians in the chain theaters,
which include all the downtown houses,
VIII continue TO work until the COM
pietion Of the current show week, as
a result OF an agreement between the
Musicians Union and the Managers
Association. They then will be released
because of non-renewal of their con-
tract and the failure Of the Musicians
Union TO agree TO using curtailed or
chestras In two downtown theaters.

DOWNTOWN STREET
CUTTING is HALTED
District Highway Engineer Acts
to Aid Christmas
Shopping.

Capt Herbert c. Whitehurst. Dis
trict highway engineer. today warned
all plumbers, public utility companies
and District government departments
that no permits would be issued in the
congested downtown section for work
involving cuts to street surfaces, ex-
cept that of an emergency nature, be-
tween December l and January 2.
Furthermore, all work in progress by
virtue of permits issued before Deem
Der l, must be hurried along so as to
be finished by December 10.
The move was made to free the
streets Of all possible entanglements
during the Christmas shopping season
and the holiday interval Immediately
afterwards.
Many complaints we're made to Capt.
Whitehurst last year that it was DIM
cult to enter certain stores on account
Of telephone wire drums lying on the
sidewalk and piles of dirt heaped up
where underground work was being
done.
The number of cuts made in the
streets for the underground work
showed substantial reduction during
the past fiscal year, due to the policy
of co-ordinating the work and requir-
ing permits to be issued from a central
Office. according to statistics released
by the District highway engineer today.
During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1929, there we're issued 1881 per-
mitS for cuts to the various agencies
except the Sewer and Water Depart
ments, which did not do their work
under permits until last year. The
fiscal year ended June 80, 1880, showed
the number, including permits issued
to the Sewer and Water Departments,
reduced to 1920, a net reduction of
1910 permits This reduction was OBJ
tanned in spite of large increase In
