ALLEN ADVOCATES
BAY BRIDGE PROJECT
Delaware Representative Calls
Plan National, Not State
Matter"

Representative William F. Allen,
Democrat, of Seaford, Del, said today
he would support a move for con-
struction Of a bridge across Chesa-
peake Bay in the vicinity of An
napolis and Matapeake, Md.
He said such a span would provide
direct route eastward through
Southern Delaware to the Atlantic
seaboard and should be considered as
a national not a State matter"
A bridge over the bay has been dis
cussed for many years. The Chesa-
peake Bay Authority, Baltimore. in
recent years has taken the lead in
attempts to obtain Federal funds to
build a span linking Baltimore with
COLCHESTER on the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland.
The authority estimated $10,00O,0o0
would be needed and applied to the
Public Works Administration for
funds, but no allotment has been
made.
Allen said he believed the bridge
should be located farther down the
bay, probably between Annapolis and
Matapeake. It could be built, he said,
on self -lquidating basis, with small
tolls to pay the cost within 40 years.

PLAN
FORD. D.C.PROPOSED
Senator Clark to Urge Com
mittee of IS Study New
Form of Rule.

A territorial form of government for
the Capital, to be worked out by a
committee of five Senators, five Rep
resentatives and five District residents,
will be proposed next week by Sena-
tor Clark, Democrat, of Missouri.
In addition to preparing a new or
ganic act, it would be the duty of the
committee of Is, under Clark's plan,
to seek a solution of the fiscal rela-
tons problem between the Federal
and District Governments.
While the details of the new form of
government remain to be worked out,
Senator Clark said territorial plan
would mean a Governor appointed by
the President, local Legislature elect
ed by the people and non-yoting
delegate in the House, as in the case
of other territories.
Referring to the question of the
Federal lump sum payment toward
development of the Capital City. Clark
said that was one of the questions that
would have to be settled in establish
ing the new form of government, be-
cause I'VE own so much property here" !"
The Missouri Senator is putting his
plan forward in the belief that Con-

matters. The Senator is having his

drafting counsel at the Capitol and

Section No. 213 Is Sole Remaining
Portion of Economy Act

Repeal Of the married persons
clause" Of the economy act, for which
q vigorous campaign was conducted
during the last Congress, will be
major objective in this session with
the support of Chairman Ramspeck OF
the House Civil Service Committee.
Chairman Ramspeck sponsored this
measure in the last Congress and
brought it before the House with the
approval of his committee. 1t failed,
however, by small margin in the
House.
Millard Introduces Bill.
Representative Millard, Democrat,
of New York, has Introduced a bill to
repeal this only remaining portion OF
the economy act still on the statute
books. He announced today he has
started an active campaign for encat-
ment of the measure. He will attempt
to organize a strong group of friends
of Government employees in support
Of his measure.
The married persons clause" is the
famous section No. 213 of the econ
omy act of 1888. 1t was designed to
prevent both man and his wife from
working for the Federal Government
and provided that in such cases one
of them must resign from the Govern
ment service.
The Civil Service Committee han
died this repeal proposal last year.
Nillard, however, will go before the
Committee on Expenditures in Exec
utive Departments, headed by Repre-
sentative Cochran of Missouri, who
favors retention of the clause. There
has been criticism by friends of Gov
ment workers because the Millard bill
was referred to Cochran's committee,
Wants Bill Rereferred.
Millard will endeavor to have the
measure rereferred to the Civil Serv-
ice Committee. If this fails another
bill for the same purpose will be
introduced to be referred to the Civil
Service Committee, presided over by
Ramspeck.
Government workers and their Or
ganizations have unitedly supported
the effort for repeal of this contro-
versial clause, which they claim is
unfair, especially to women, because
they naturally are the ones who must
surrender their jobs. 1t has also been
contended that this clause works an
especial hardship on those in the lower
pay jobs, whereas married couples
both of whom receive higher rates OF
pay. usually have been able to retain
their positions.
