TW0-WAY ROUTE
TO BRIDGE FAVORED
Planners Think South and
North Approaches Around
Arlington Necessary.

The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission feels that both the
southern and northern approaches to
the Arlington Memorial Bridge, around
Arlington National Cemetery, are nee
essary, it decided in a resolution passed
yesterday.
Arno B. Cammerer. director of the
Office of National Parks Buildings and
Reservations, the new executive officer
of the commission. was instructed, to-
gether with the staff, to cooperate with
the Bureau of Public Roads, the State
of Virginia and Arlington County to
obtain the construction of both routes.
The commission went on record favor
ing the so-called valley route, located
north of the cemetery and calling Tor
less expensive construction, following
the contour of the country, as salts
factory This is the so-called Route D
shown on project maps.
The rcstudy of the Lee Highway and
Boulevard problems was undertaken by
7. c. Jeffers, landscape architect OF the
commission.
Previously the commission had ap-
proved the so-called Route A, which
ran directly over the hill, to the north
ward of the cemetery, to link up with a
new bridge to be constructed as part OF
the Arlington Memorial Bridge project,
across Boundary Channel, at the north
end of Columbia Island. This road
plan has now apparently been aban-
doned, in view of the increased land
costs and construction expenditure.

marketing agreement to the Agrlcul-

ducers' Association hopes to obtain an
increase in the wholesale price paid
to farmers in this area through the
medium of a marketing code. He
stated that before such code could be
submitted to the Agriculture Depart
ment. however. the question of its sub
mission would have to be taken up
with the Investigating Committee.
Senator King said that whether a
code was prepared or not was not the
concern of the committee. which was
appointed to inquire into the questions
raised in the Senate resolution. The
Senator reiterated he would not be
drawn into the question of whether a
code should be submitted, nor to pass
upon it.
That the Producers Association was
considering a proposal to obtain bet
ter wholesale price for the farmers was
said yesterday the question had been
discussed with some of the distributors
individually, but not collectively. He
