BY DON S. WARREN.

A MAJOR operation has been de-
~ clared necessary by District
~ officials as a means of drain
ing traffic congestion out OF
the arteries of the business section OF
Georgetown.
They proposed the construction OF
q high-level traffic way over K street
from Twenty-seventh street to Thirty
sixth street to the west of Key Bridge,
with ramps connecting with M street
there. II is planned as a bypass
for Georgetown. to relieve growing
pressure on M street. now the only
main artery through the section.
The cost of this plan has been
estimated by Capt H. c. Whitehurst,
director of traffic. at sl,430000.
There is an alternative proposal
as a Georgetown bypass. 1t calls
for development of roadway over
the old Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal.
The cost of that plan is estimated
at about se25,OOO. but this does not
include the cost of purchase OF the
right of way. which, it is believed,

DECISION IS NEAR
ON FIDELITY LOAN
Home Loan Bank Board May
Recommend Federaliza-
ton This Week.

Decision may be reached this week
by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board as to whether to recommend
to the controller of the currency reor-
ganization of the closed Fidelity
Building and Loan Association into
the first federal savings and loan as
socia:ion to be organized in this city.
Reports of the examiners, which
was completed some time ago, has
been considered both by the legal di-
vision and by the Review Committee
and today was on the agenda OF the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board itself.
AS a matter of fact it was learned
that the board already has taken up
the matter Informally, but no decision
has been reached as yet, in the ab-
sence of Chairman John H. Fahey.
of the board, who has been out OF
the city. Fahey is expected to return
this week.
Decision to Be Secret.
No details of the examiners report
will be disclosed by the board, which
is to send its findings to the controller
of the currency for consideration in
the problem of reorganization.
The report of the examiners, Of
which John w. Ballard is chief, went
first to the legal division Of the board
and later to the Review Committee,
of which the chairman is Oscar
Kreutz. So interested was the Review
Committee that it was understood 1t
sent a personal representative with
the examiner to go over many more
details of the status at the Fidelity
headquarters Office on Thirteenth
street
Federal savings and loan associa-
tions have been operating in various
parts of the country for three years
now, under supervision Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, and, as ex-
planned by board members recently,
they represent "a combination OF sue
cessful experiences selected by the
leaders of the industry as most de-
sirable for perpetuation in a stand
ardized program for meeting the needs
of borrowers and investors"

If the Fidelity should be reorgan-
lied, it would operate under authority
of the Federal Home Loan Bank at
Winston Salem, N. c., and the Fed
eral Home Loan Board here. All ac-
counts would be insured up to $4,000
each, under the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corp.
The question of management Of
newly reorganized Federal institution
is understood to be considered OF
prime importance. They always are
locally owned and locally managed"

Hoagland, member Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, directors Of

ciation are selected by its members.

order to maintain the mutuality Of its

one vote for each 500 Of investment,

There was both an element Of luck
and resourceful touch to this score
which cinched the verdict. Maryland
was fortunate to be handed the ball at
that spot and it was brilliant in tax
ing advantage of the break. Using
only four plays, Dobson's smartly
coached outfit scored to make it 1872
Speculation Still Goes On.
WHAT might have happened had
not Keating fumbled is purely
speculative stuff. Late in the game
Georgetown desperately flung passes
and drove down to Marylands 0-yard
line for first down.
Here the Hilltoppers tried another
pass, possibly to try to score in order
to save time. A wide pass from Elmer
Moulin to Joe Mellendick left the ball
three yards from the goal and it was
on the next play that Mellendick tried
to carry over from tackle and fumbled.
The more imaginative GEORGETOWN
rooters probably will nurse for some
time to come the fancy Of what dif-
ferent tactics might have meant had
the score been only GO, with the Hill
toppers on the 8-yard line. Undoubt-
edly, under these conditions, no pass
would have been called. Keating prob
ably would have been left in the game
and given the responsibility of trying
to score on straight football.
But it didn't work out that way.
Anyway. the pressure was off Mary
land at the time Of Georgetowns elev-
enth-hour passing parade.
It must be assumed that MARYLAND
was tops on Saturday. The games
statistics and Coach Jack Hagerty of
Georgetown lend credence to the as
sumption. "The better team won."

ification:

In passing, it should be remarked
that the game was q great exhibition
OF splendid sportsmanship by both
sides. Earnestly, vigorously, contested,
1t nevertheless was free of any un-
toward incidents that might have

In every way, the young men on the

Colonials Tie Good Team.
THERE seems to be no way of deter
mining mythical local champion
without stirring up an argument. Not
after George Washingtons tie with
Arkansas at any rate. The Colonials,
beaten by Alabama, Tulsa and Missis-
sippi, were given little chance In this
game, although losing to Alabama,
particularly, was no disgrace.
Arkansas essentially is a passing
team and the field on Saturday was
muddy. But that IS to take nothing
from the Colonials. Mud is mud and
both teams must play in it. George
washington simply was as good that
afternoon as team which had beaten
Central State, Texas, Southern Meth
odist, Texas A. & NJ, and Missis-
sippi, team which had tied Texas
Christian, and team which lost close
games to Rice and to Baylor.
