ROCK CREEK SPAN
IS FACING DELAY
Funds insufficient to Push
Job. Through-Februar
Earliest for Start.

Although the Federal Government
on August 3, 1886, made an ALLEGATION
for construction OF new bridge across
Rock Greek, south of the Shoreham
Hotel, in the Rock Greek and Potomac
parkway, the project is still stalled
for lack of sufficient funds, it was
learned today, and the structure may
not be started until next February,
even if the money is forthcoming.
At present there is $74,25o available
for the job, but engineers of the Bu-
reau of Public Roads said $4,000
is required for the entire cost, based
on latest estimates. Allocations OF
funds for the roads and trails work
out OF the current fiscal years ap-
preparation have not yet been made
It is feared that a slash in these will
have to be made, in accordance with
President ROoSevelt's economy pro-
gram, to cut topper cent from appro-
priations.
MuSt OuItdll AuOCdtlOnS.
Just when the new allocations Of
roads and trails money-with $4,000
additional required for the new bridge
across Rock Creek-will be made is
now problematical. Oficials of the
National Park Service will have to
pare down the ALLEGATIONS in keeping
with the reduced figures.
National Capital Parks officials have
long considered the two-way steel
bridge across Rock Creek. with its OBJ
structing beams in the center, traf-
f1c hazard, and so advised the Ma
tional Park Service
On August 3, last year, an alloca-
ton Of S74,250 was made by Secre-
tary Ickes out of roads and trails
funds of the National Park Service
for the bridge. The program was
actually approved by the Secretary on
June 20. 1886, officials said.
The Bureau Of Public Roads super
vises road and bridge building con-
tractors for the National Park Serv-
ice, which has no such force of its
own. Under the old office of public
buildings and public parks an inde-
pendent agency in charge Of the local
parks system. road and bridge build
ing was done by that group under
the supervision Of Army Engineers.
The old parks Office built the bridge
across Rock Greek at l. street.
Do Not Wish TO Close Drive.
Government officials advance sew
eral reasons why the new bridge,
south of the Shoreham Hotel, has
been delayed. For one thing, officials
of the Bureau of Public Roads point
out, the park highway upstream OF
the @ street bridge was raised and
the landslide that occurred at that
point was rectified, necessitating the
closing Of the valley drive. The Of
ficials did not want to close the drive
at the new bridge site, so as to keep
traffic moving out to Massa chusetts
avenue, they said.
Work at the Bureau of Public Roads
got SO heavy that officials did not
feel like taking on additional tenn
porary help to put on the bridge job
after the slide rectification was fin
ished, officials explained.
Now, with Winter coming on, Of
ficials said that it might be advisable
to defer starting work on the new
bridge, if the additional money be-
comes available, until February.

Calls at Soviet Embassy to

Jimmy Mattern, who arrived at
Washington Airport yesterday after

Alaska by way of Los Angeles, called
at the Soviet Embassy this morning

search for the six lost Russian flyers
had been futile.

Mattern returned from his weeks
of searching convinced that Pilot
Levaneffsky and his five companions
perished in the Polar wastes. They
vanished on August 13 during the
third successive flight of Soviet flyers
from Moscow to America across the
North Pole. The first two hops were
successful.
1t was Levaneffsky who rescued
Mattern when the American flyer
crashed in Siberia on a round-the-
world flight in 1888. Mattern volun-
teered to join in the extensive air
search as soon as he learned that
Levaneffsky's plane was missing.
Mattern described his search as much
more hazardous than a trans-Polar
flight to Moscow would have been. On
long flight. he pointed out, the pilot
can set his course and fly at a safe
altitude, but on search he must stay

JUDGE UPHOLDS RESULT
OF RACE FOR DELEGATE
Herring Loses Contest of Election
in Prince William and Stafford
on Basis of Ruling.

BY the Associated Press
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. Septem-
Der 13.-Judge Frederick w. Cole
mans opinion this morning allows
results Of Democratic primary's
delegate race to stand
The election contest was brought
by George w. Herring against the
nomination to the House of Delegates
OF Frank p. Moncure from Stafford
and Prince William Counties. Mon
cure won the Democratic nomination
over Herring by a majority of %
votes.
Ruling on the demurrer filed by
Moncure In answer to the petition of
Herring to invalidate the election.
Judge Coleman sustained the demur-
rer on five counts and dismissed the
petition in these particulars. The
demurrer was oyerruled in eight spec
if1cations and these portions of the
contest petition are subject to trial
on evidence.
The eight sections of the petition
which Judge Colemen ruled could be
brought to trial involved 18 contest

result of the election if all we're
stricken from the count.
No appeal can be taken from the

The proposed Payne shuttle line,
however, is causing some worry to the

has no authority to pay for an addi-

Is Federal sanction for such q service.
That leaves the question whether
one or both Of the airlines concerned
are to pay for the service, and il one,

Shuttle airline services have been
tried out before, but have generally
proved unsatisfactory and too costly.
That operation of such a shuttle is
even being considered for Washington,
air transport officials point out, is an
example Of the absurdity of the local
