.F|NNAN ASSA|LS
PLAN OF D|RKSEN
Sees Waste in Converting
Mcpherson and Franklin
Spaces for Parking.

Pointing out that the Federal Gov
ernment recently modernized McPher-
son Square and has entered into con-
tracts to improve Franklin Park, c.
Marshall Finnan. superintendent Of
the National Capital Parks. yesterday
expressed disapproval of the proposal
of Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, to convert these two
parks into automobile parking lots.
Contracts for improving the walks
in Franklin Park have been signed
with Corson g. Gruman, Thirty-third
ard K streets, and for other struc-
tural improvements. Other contracts.
for landscaping and rehabilitating the
soil in the park have been entered
into with A. Guide Sens Co.
Too Late without Waste.
In the opinion of park officials, Rep
resentative Dirksen's plan comes too
late, unless he wants to throw away
the funds already obligated. They
come from a Public Works Admins

town parks is imperative, for it ac-
complishes work neglected for half a
century.
Recent Improvements.
Mcpherson Square several years age
was improved by constructing new
walks and planting new trees and
shrubs, officials recalled. The lawn
area was renovated and new foun-
tain was installed.
Dirksen's proposal to charge dime
a day for parking would take a long
time to amortize, park authorities as
serted. They questioned whether the
House member is familiar with Wash
ington real estate values.
Franklin Park has an estimated
value of s3,130,156, the park authori-
ties declare. Mcpherson Square is
valued at s2,161 $50. The Representa-
tive was quoted as saying he would
place 100 parked cars there and SOC

.FEDERAT|0N'S AID
ON ROAD SOUGHT
Bethesda c. of c. Will Ask
Endorsement at Meeting
Tomorrow.
BY staff Correspondent Of The Star.


BETHESDA. Md, January IL
Advocates of the plan to widen Old
Georgetown road and biuld q new
roadway from Alta Vista to Halpine
will seek powerful reinforcements
when the Montgomery County Civic
Federation meets here Monday night.
The county wide group is to be
asked in q resolution from the Be-
thesda Chamber, Of Commerce to in
dorse tie proposal and Join in the
campaign which the local trade body
has launched in its behalf.
An emergency clause will be at
tached to the measure in order that
the organization which will present
the project to State and county OFF,
cials can be compelled as quickly as
possible.
No Opposition Seen.
Should the federation approve the
project, and no opposition is antici-
pated in that quarter. the Chamber
of Commerce Committee will be joined
in it's task by the federation's Com
mittee on Roads, Streets and Bridges,
one of the most active groups of its
kind in the county.
The federation's Legislation and
Legal Action Committee likewise
would appear In the picture If it is
found necessary to introduce any leg
islation concerning the project during
the State Assembly's forthcoming
session.
Sentiment for the improvement has
! scared since the chamber voted unani-
mously to push the project at its meet
ing early this week. A number Of
neighboring organizations are plan
ming to offer their support.
Many members Of the Old George
town Road Citizens Association, COM
posed of residents in Battery Park, the
western section of Edgemoor and
Alta Vista. have expressed their ap-
proval and that organization is ex-
pected to indorse the plan at its next
meeting.
Would Remove Hazards.
The proposed improvement would
eliminate hazardous conditions caused
by the narrowness of Old Georgetown
road and also would open the large
tract Of land lying between Alta Vista
and Halpine to intensive develop
| ment.
Increased tax revenue from that
development would reward the State
and county for any appropriations
made to carry out the proposal, pro-
ponents claim.
George P. Sacks, president OF the
Bank of Bethesda, is chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee
working for the improvement. His
aides are B. w. Parker. Samuel e.
Stonebraker, A. r. Townshend, jr.,
and william Buckley. president Of
the chamber.

NAWPROM0T|ON
7 SYSTEM OPPOSED
Officers Voting 2-to.1 for
Change in Poll Conducted
by Journal.

Navy and Marine Corps officers are
voting 2 to / against the system
of promotion by selection now in force
in those services as indicated yester-
day in the first returns of a poll being
conducted by the Army and Navy
Journal.
The system of forced attrition"-
requiring the retirement of capable
officers as means Of getting others
to the higher grade earlier-was found
to be harmful to morale" by 2o1 Of
f1cers as against 80 voting in favor of
the forced retirement system.
The promotion system In the Navy
and Marine Corps has been under fire
of late from several sources, which
induced the service publication to poll
the officers in those services relative
to the personnel situation. One Of
the principal critics has been Admiral
William s. Sims, retired, wartime
commander of the naval forces In Eu-
rope, whose proposal to ascertain the
Service reputation" of an officer up
for selection by having all the officers
above him pass on his ability was
voted on as one Of the questions in
the survey. The Sims plan was IA
vored by PIG officers and opposed
by rs.
Four out of every five of the Of
ficers voting favored a general restudy
of the personnel situation. OF those
favoring it, 1856 voted for a study by a
special Navy Department board, while
81 wanted the investigation made by
congressional committee.
Answers to the pol, are still being
received, it was stated. and further re-
turns will be published weekly as they
are compiled.

and everything else that goes with
it). l know everyone is hoping

The reason AL HARRIS is so pop
ular with the girls is he has all
the different types of femmes that
exist catalogued under a certain
number. When he takes type num-
Der five out, he uses line of jibe
number five. If he takes a type
of girl catalogued under type
eight, he uses jibe number eight.
So girls, maybe it would be kinda
wise to find out what type you are.
