by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission during a two
day session opening today.
The proposal to fill the channel.
made to the commission by Samuel
j. Solomon, manager Of the airport,
was first advanced several years ago
by the joint Congressional Airport
Commission, headed by former Senator
Bingham Of Connecticut, as q means
Of adding to the area Of the airport.
Previously. the commission has voted
against such a program, contending
that Boundary Channel should be
preserved for Its scenic beauty and
also to keep airplanes from encroach-
ing too closely on traffic along the
highway.
Size to Be Reduced.
The areas Of a number Of proposed
parks, Fairgrounds and recreation
centers, the ground for which Is still
in private ownership, will have to be
materially reduced, because since the
1880 program was laid out improve
ments have been made which render

TO ENTER DISTRICT
Arlington & Fairfax Line Hits
Board Findings in Sharp
Brief.
HOLDS NEED OF SERVICE
NOT FULLY CONSIDERED
Present Transfer Facilities at
Rosslyn Held Hazardous
and Inconvenient.

In q sharply worded brief, the Ar
lington g. Fairfax Railway Co. today
asked the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to overrule the findings of a
joint board which has recommended
denial Of the carriers petition for a
certificate of public convenience to
transport passengers and mail be-
tween Rosslyn, Va, and downtown
Washington.
Filed at the commission, the brief,
in a detailed discussion of the joint
board report. says:
"A careful study Of the report will
confirm the impression which it gives
upon first reading-that every con-
sideration seems to have been given
to find reasons why the application
should be denied, and that no thought
has been directed to find or admit
and reason why the convenience and
necessity of the public travelling by
the applicants line should be con-
sidered, whether under existing condi-
tions or under those anticipated at
the time Of the hearing"
District Opposed Plan.
The report of the board was based
principally on the premise that there
already Is adequate transportation
service between Rosslyn and the Dis
trict, and that, to large extent, the
service of the applicant in Virginia is
duplicated or paralleled by other car
riers. The District opposed the plan,
holding it would increase traffic con-
gestinn.
New means are now for the first
time available to applicant in this
proceeding to furnish to the public,
by use of auto-railers, through trans
portation between the State of Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia
and to render the service to which
the public is entitled, since it is avail
able and is within the means Of the
applicant reasonable to render" the
line contends.
Furthermore, under existing con-
ditions passengers of the applicant ar
irving at Rosslyn. either coming to or
SOAA1S 1iO1i tilC OIctIlCI VI SOluulUld,
are required to transfer to or from a
street car line by traversing a dis
tance from $50 to 800 feet and cross
ing, day and night. an unguarded
thoroughfare, narrow and curving
where the conditions Of traffic are al
ways hazardous. These passengers
include large numbers of school chill
dren as well as persons with physical
infirmities. The record shows that
even under present conditions the
number involved per day to and from
Rosslyn by applicants lines is more
than 1000.
Shelter Not Provided.
I'm addition, passengers to and
nom the District Of Columbia must
either walk across Key Bridge or
transfer from or to the cars of the
Capital Transit Co.. without, in either
case. any shelter or protection what
ever from inclemencies of weather

verted to above"

2 CiuiI War Nurses Meet Here;
Each Thought Other Vas Dead
Mrs. Alice RisIey Recalls
Hair Turned White
at Age of Is.
BY FRANCES LIDE.


Only slightly wilted by the festivi-
ties of the SEVENTEEN encampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic, two
Civil War nurses-one former slave
are ready for another.
Mrs. Alice Carey Risley, 80, of
Columbia. Mo-, and Rosa G. Russell,
90, of Vicksburg, Miss, ,seach thought
she was the only surviving member
of the Civil War Army Nurses Asso-
citation until several days ago, when
they met in the lobby of the Mayfiower
Hotel-Mrs. Risley, the president Of
the association, and old Rosa, the
white haired one-time slave, who tried
to run the Yankees out of "Missy's"
front yard before she went off with
them to nurse the war wounded.
IT was awfully glad to see Rosa"
Mrs. Risley declared. We've met be-
fore at these conventions. But we'd
lost track of each other. There are
several Civil War nurses still alive
you know, but I believed I was the
only one left in our organization"
AS she spoke, Mrs Risley rose from
a small court of convention delegates,
who wanted to shake hands with
Civil War nurse, to join Rosa in
pilgrimage to the memorial on Rhode
Island avenue erected to sisters who
gave their services as nurses on the
battlefield and in hospitals Of the
Civil War. Here the two stood silently
while Daughters of the Union Veterans
of the Civil War placed wreath.
Hair Turned White at 16.
"These meetings carry me back.
I'm living my girlhood days over
again." Mrs. Risley sighed. You see
this hair of mine. 1t turned white
when I was Is
MY family was originally from
Massachusetts," she continued, but
we were in Louisiana at the outbreak
of the war and for a long time we
were behind Confederate lines. After
Butler took New Orleans, though, we
managed to escape through an under
ground tunnel, but going down the
Mississippi, my mother and father
were standing on the boat together
and bullet passed between them.
Those were the days my hair turned.
I've seen the war at its worst. But
I like to think about it-becauSe that
was when I was young"
Displays Hospital Pass.
Mrs. Risley also proudly displayed
the first hospital pass she ever
received-back in '62-along with sew
eral soldiers passes also given to her.
These are mementos she draws with
shaking hands from her black pock-
etbook for the visitors who are always
crowding around her.
She likes to talk and to joke. She'll
tell her age to a woman, but when q
man inquiries she looks up archly.
"A gentleman once asked me that
and I asked him If he were .
widower." she evades.
Would you believe it," she adds,
"these photographers have had me
kissing people I've never seen before.
There was gentleman the other day.
I never. found out who he was, either,
but kissed him right there before
everybody"
YES" says Mrs. Risley, 81 always
enjoy these conventions and hope I'll
be able to attend another"
Rosa Russell says, IF the Lord
spares me, I'll come, too"
Remembers Days as Slave.
She remembers very well the days
when she was slave near Vicksburg.

Obergh's suit on behalf of the pro-

Obergh was retained by c. v. Dye,

it clear he in no way represents the
dairy. Darr is Obergh's partner, but
the two are working separately on the
suits.
Meanwhile, members of the Con-
sumers' Council, which has threatened
to appeal to Congress for an investi-
cation Of the events leading up to the
issuance Of the marketing agreement,
planned conference with Community
Chest officials concerning Scent milk
for the agencies supported by the

It has been suggested that the Chest

Promising to send board engineers

Possibilities of such dedication
on the Washington-A Annapolis road
seemed unlikely today after the Blad-
