The District Commissioners have
asked the P. w. A. for a 81 ,080 900
loan and grant. it was learned today.
to start actual construction of the
long prposed Fort Drive connecting
the historic Civil War fortifcations
around Washington
Two other applications were filed
at the same time. one asking $240.000
to build a Health Center at New
York avenue and Kirby street: the
other calling for the construction of
a SIS, 900 garage for the Highway
Department at Second and Bryant
streets NV.
The total amount requested in the
three items is 1875 900 on a basis of
IS per cent grants and SIS per cent
loans. They are in addition to the
approximately 100000 worth OF
construction for which applications
are still pending with the P. W. A.
Proposed construction of the Fort
Drive calls for it to start from Conduit
road in West Washington and extend

This is just north of Soldiers Home
From Conduit road the proposed drive

The driveway will extend approxi-
mately miles. Several sections OF
the route will utilize recently improved
city streets 1t was said LILO miles

intersections making an equivalent tc
Z miles on the proposed roadway.
Plans call for a driveway of 40 feet
One reason why the start of the Fort

were requested a month ago by tn

A telegram to President Roosevelt
from DR.. H. c. Byrd. president of the
University of Maryland, invited the
President today to come into Maryland
and defend before the people your
philosophy of government" the Asso-
ciated Press reported
Sent from Chicago. where DR.. Byrd
was visiting yesterday, the message
read:
If the Chicago papers quote Sena-
tor Tydings correctly, please let me ad-
wise you that the inference therefrom
that you have no moral right to come
into Maryland to present your views
to us is not subscribed to by the ma
1ority of the State.
Any attempt to infer that a visit
by you to Maryland is something of
carpet-bagging procedure is unfair to
you and not sustained by any premise
Breaks With Tydings.
You are trying to do more for the
common people of the country than
any other President in history and the
majority of Marylanders appreciate
your efforts. Furthermore. those that
do not agree with you would gladly
yield you the right to defend before
them your philosophy of government.
"Millard Tydings has been among
my close personal friends for many
years. but I cannot go along with him
on such an issue and will be among
the great many who will welcome YOU
whenever you decide to visit us

tween White House sources and the
university president relative to a presi-
dental trip into Maryland on behalf
of Representative Davis J. Lewis. New
Deal Senate candidate opposing the
reelection of Senator Tydings.
Seen Political Only.
The message was regarded bv close
friends of Dr. Byrd as an open indica-
ton of political break between DR..
Byrd and Senator Tydings, who is an
alumnus of the university and has been
DR.. Byrd's close personal friend for
more than two decades.
These sources said the break was

Neither of the booms yielded results
and the final deadline for filing of

from the Byrd camp.
The "carpetbagging" reference in
the telegram referred to Senator
