BIDS CALLED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March S.
Final approval of plans for con-
struction of a 100000 bridge
across Potomac Yards on U. S.
Route l was announced here today
by City Manager E. c. Dunn and
City Engineer H. G.. Mccartney,
following a conference in Rich
mond yesterday with State high
way department officials. The
highway department Immediately
authorized advertisement for bids
on the project, to be submitted
March 18.
The new bridge, to be built with
Federal railway crossing elimina-
ton funds allotted to Virginia, will
span the dozen tracks of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railway Company's freight
yard at a point slightly north of the
present structure, which has been
declared unfit for the heavy traf-
fic now using it. The plans also
provide for elimination of the dan
gerouS T-curve at the west end
of the present bridge, which has
been the scene of a number of
automobile accidents in recent
years. Provision is made for a
straight approach to the east end
of the bridge and for elimination
of the Monroe Avenue curve at
the west end by continuation of
the avenue across property Of the
former city poorhouse.
The railway company has en-.
tered into an agreement with the

WOLFE BACKS
DR.. BYRD FOR
GOVERNOR

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 5.
Governorship ambitions of DR.. H.
C. "Curley" Byrd, president Of the
University of Maryland, today
was given an impetus when his
candidacy was backed by Clar-
ence Wolfe, an astute political
observer.
Wolfe pointed out that Byrd
was able through his university
connections to extend his political
influence throughout every coun-
ty in the State.
He referred to the various
county agents conducting farm
work through the counties and
the diversified activities of Mary.
land University in mining and
fishing industries.
Discounted by LaSScer
LanSdale G. SasScer CD of
Prince Georges county, president
of the senate, also a gubernatorial
candidate, discounted these posi-
bilitieS and said he has the sup
port of the counties and of Will
lam Curran of Baltimore, victor
over Mayor Howard w. jackson,
another candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination.
Byrd has demonstrated his in
fluence in the legislature by in
ducing the house ways and means
committee to restore $74,0OO in
the university budget which they
had announced would be cut. In
addition, he has sold them on an
additional 100000 allowed in a
contingent budget submitted by
the governor. He has told Dele
gate Kent r. Mulliken, chairman
OF the ways and means committee,
that he will be able to show the
committee where they can find
the necessary money.
Row Over Planners
One of the bitterest of the local
tights to come before the general
assembly loomed today over the
proposal of the Montgomery and
the Prince Georges delegations to
extend the terms of members of
the Washington Sanitary Sub
urban Commission and the Ma.
tlonal Capital Planning Commis-
sion until 1889 to prevent Republi.
cans from gaining control.
The terms of office of the Mary.
land incumbents will expire in
May, 1887, and Governor Harry
w. Nice, a Republican, is empow
cred to appoint successors.
Delegate Joseph A. Cantrel, of
Montgomery, will take the floor
against it. He says he hopes to
hold enough votes in the house to
prevent its passage over the gov.
ernor's veto.
Delegate Philip Miller of Anne
Arundel county offered a measure
that would repeal the Sunday blue
laws of Annapolis.
The house passed a bill that
would permit women to serve on
jurieS and another that would al
low physicians to sterilize idiots
and inmates of insane asylums.

REAL COMPANIONSHIP
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D D., IL d. D. C. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON - - " ~

An ancient writer asks, Can two walk
together except they be agreed7" He
was evidently thinking Of the incompar-
able value of fellowship and companion
ship and he felt that agreement or har-
mony of spirit was indispensable. The
story of the greatest lives the world has
known is more than the story Of some
individual genius. Behind the individual
life there is always to be found another
less conspicuous life, one with less dis
tinction and power. Even great geniuses
when they disclose the secret of their
gifts find themselves compelled to reckon
with one who companied with them and
who contributed much to making their
genius what it was. It was in unity of
kindred spirits that their finer thoughts
and impulses had their genesis. Boswell
was the eager, devoted and excessively
loyal friend OF johnson. He had nothing
OF his intellectual stature or his rare
gifts, and yet johnson, great as he was,
found In Boswell that which his soul
craved. 1t was doubtless this that made
Boswell one OF the great biographers OF
history.
Reduced to 4 small compass 1t Is sim
ply the story OF two men who walked
oAOA6 tsAC COatAAiOlI way Vi ll1S III 6k1CC~
ment and In unfailing affection. The
massive Luther had in the companion
ship OF Melanchton one In whom he
could repose all confidence and affection.
What he drew from his lesser disciple
has not been adequately recorded, but
one thing is certain, that In the. crises
in Luther's life Melanchton proved a re-
assuring and stabilizing factor. They
walked together in happy companion
ship because they were agreed.
true friendship is not necessarily
one where two individual and dissimilar
types are precisely alike in thought, ac-
tion and temperament; as q matter Of
fact, dissimilarity is frequently the
strong tie that binds men together. In
the band that Jesus drew together as
His intimates and as His disciples were
men Of different tastes and aptitudes.

Bimpkins.

II Bimpkins was possessed Of any other
name, nobody in the once ever had heard
1t mentioned. The men who worked
with him five and half days a week
did not bother to inquire about his "pri-
vate life" 1t was taken for granted that
lie was equipped with home, a family.
even history The details could not
be important-because Bimpkins himself
was "such a wash-out."
First, he was old; secondly, he was
quiet. But, more particularly, he was
empty of personality. Unless directly
challenged, he never spoke an unneces-
sary word. Earliest to arrive and last to
leave, he sat at his desk from morning TIL
evening steadily plodding through his
routine duty. The other boys called his
ledgers his children, declaring: "Bimp-
kins loves them!"
And there was reason enough for that
opinion. His books were models OF neat
ness. The meticulous penmanship, the
unyarying exactnsss Of each separate
entry, the mathematical evenness Of the
margins, the total absence Of erasures,
the spotlessness of each individual page,
all testified for the edaciency Of his
method. He was slow, but he was exact.
Forty years went by. Then the era
10 which Bimpkins belonged came to IN

The Liberal.

: The average liberal is not static. He
desires to grow, he wishes to be, as well
as to appear, progressive. Thus, 1t hap
pens that he sometimes wanders from
one advanced position to another until
he hnds himself miles from his starting
point, perhaps lost from it altogether.
: Consider Mr.. A., who was born in q
family devoted to strict and puritanical
religion. An evangelist, preaching on
infant damnation, frightened him. Re-
acting from his panic, he read one Of
: Colonel Robert G. 1ngersolls pamphlets
and became, as he supposed, an agnostic.
BY middle life he was q confirmed non
believer In everything except non-belief.
Then, because Of certain experience,
he cultivated an interest in psychic re-
search" which. in turn. involved him in
: the study Of sigmund Freuds curious
theory Of psychoanalysis. His next ad-
venture brought him into contact with
tho police. They found him convinced
Evening star., 1937-10-17

There Is . wide difference between f,erv
and impulsive Peter and quiet, reflective
and emotional John. These men found
the focus OF their interest In Him who
called them. Now and again there was
evidence Of strife among them, but under
the persuasive influence of their Master
they came at length to serve common
cause. Team Play" In life, whether In
the sequestered domestic circle, the pro-
fessional and occupational world or, In
deed, in any sphere Of its service Is in
dispensable to lasting and happy results.
There is nothing that 20 largely con-
tributes to this end as a common re-
ligious faith. Where men are OF one
mind In a household, however different
they may be in temperament, there is q
unity that contributes nightly to the
satisfaction of all. 1t is in such 4 place
that Spirits blend and friend holds fel-
lowship with friend"
In world as troubled and distracted
as ours there must come, before we shall
resume normal and satisfying ways,
agreement on life's major purposes. Ra-
cially and temperamentally different as
we are we recognize that there are Ger
tain fundamental and basic things that
constitute the foundations on which we
build the house In which we live. Those
who occupy the house may be widely
different in dress and habit, but about
the deep and essential things they must
hnd that which is common to them all.
Shall we not believe that religion in
whatever form it may express itself,
serves this greatly to be desired end. We
OF America hold many and varied view-
points as to methods and policies, but
about things fundamental that are re-
lated TO our common interests there
must be agreement. We shall find this
agreement more evident to us in our
religious convictions, no matter how
varied may be their expression and
forms OF worship. Unity In things basic
Is indispensable to our security and our
happiness. We cannot walk together
unless we be agreed.

One course calls for going the full way

other is An effort to hold Government

the old Laissez-Faire system.
The issue In cotton is but 4 sample OF
