PLAN IS PUSHED
IN ALEXANDRIA
Council Seeks Action on
Schultz Bill

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 10I
In an effort to speed passage of
the Schultz bill now before Con.
gress, the City Council will for
mally ask Virginia representatives
and State agencies tonight to &C.
lively support the plan to build a
bridge across the Potomac from
Alexandria to Congress Heights.
A resolution prepared by Mayor
E. C. Dawson directs approval of
the bill, instructs city officials to
cooperate with the U. S. Army
Engineer Corps in a proposed
survey, and asks Virginia Con.
gresSmen, the State Port Author.
ity of Virginia and other interested
agencies to give active support to
the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Schultz, Of Indiana.
The councils action tonight will
be based on the understanding
that the entire cost Of construction
and maintenance of the bridge
will be borne by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Representative Schulte's bill,
now before the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Com.
merce, provides for an appropri.
alton of $4,000 to the Army En-
cheering Corps for a survey Of
the proposed span. The bridge
is proposed as a means of directing
through traffic around Washing
ton.
In addition to opening the
Southern Maryland marketing
area to Alexandria, the proposed
bridge and its approaches would
act as stimulus toward beauti-
fication of the Alexandria water
front, Mayor Dawson pointed out.

their points re- "eS''
ceived much sympathy from any
but Chairman Robert RamSpeck.
In general, the N. F. F. E. leader
held that persons entering the
service at a late age would get
little chance to rise to supervisory
posts, and that their admission
would cause pressure for their
promotion that would give rise to
constant protests of "diScrimina-
ton" if unappeased. He held that
20 is the proper age limit for ad-
mission of file clerks, typists''
Junior clerks, etc, citing the age
limit of 26 which holds for most
positions under the British Civil
Service.

Annuity Problem

Both Steward and Chairman
RamSpeck joined in pointing out
that the current bills would leave
persons admitted at late age out
aide the annuity system, thus max
ing it necessary to prefer charges
at the age of 10 to get them out
Of the service. . This won't hinder
the bills, however as proponents
now plan an amendment to au-
tomatically discharge such tolk
when they reach 10.
Donaldson's argument hinged
principally on the promise that
persons admitted to the Post
office staff who are over "a have
been found to have difficulty
learning the tremendously compli-
Gated hedules, known as
SCHEMES" which the department
must employ in dispatching mail
throughout the country. And he
warned that if age limits are abol-
ished Congress must appropriate
a great deal more money for the
Postal Service" He also admitted
that most veterans we get never
progress very far. we often must
reject young and promising work
efs because the veterans are
crowding the registers"

in the office he called one Of the

whether this is true. And EN-.
bassies are given to polite and
smiling diplomatic denials.
Cut off from a regular income
last year, Farnsworth grew desper-
ate. The bait Of $4,000 in cash
was dangled before his eyes. In
feveriSh haste he sought to OBJ
tain the information for which it
was offered. The Navy, which had
been watching him for more than
year, finally sought the assist
ance of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation. This was late in June
of last year. In less than month
there was enough evidence in hand
to indict him.
On last July 13 he was arrested
and formally charged with the
theft of one confidential book
from the Navy. On August IL,
two days before his forty-third
birthday, he was indicted again,
this time for conspiracy.
When FarnSworth'S lawyers
sought and obtained from the
court letters rogatory" through
which they sought to obtain depo-
SitionS from the Japanese officers
formerly stationed in Washington,
the wireless brought the reply,
through diplomatic channels, that
they would not talk, and the Tokyo
government had no intention
