citizens in this country.

Bridge Traffic
To Be One .Way
Virginia-bound
Work on Key Spon
Will Be Rushed
Under Compromise

Vehicular traffic movements over
Key Bridge will be restricted, be-
ginning Monday morning, to one
way Virginia bound, due to con-
struction of the new span, under an
agreement reached today by District
and Federal officials.
This plan, announced by Capt. H.
c. Whitehurst, District director OF
highways, is a compromise from the
original proposal of the Bureau OF
Public Roads to close the span for
all traffic for perhaps two months.
Work to Be Speeded.
Capt. Whitehurst said the traff1c
might be restricted to the one-Way
movement for from four to six weeks,
depending on how long it would take
the contractor to complete the down
stream slab of the road over the line
of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway, for which the extra span
is being built. With full agreement
of the Bureau of Public Roads, Capt.
Whitehurst said the contractor
would employ double shift OF work.
men so as to hasten the completion
of the south slab.
He gave assurances that as soon
as this section of the spans roadway
is ready, full two-way traffic would be
resumed.
Capt. Whitehurst consulted this
morning, before final approval was
given the plan, with John Paul Jones
of the Georgetown Merchants As
sociation and Fred N. Windrldge OF
the Rosslyn Businessmens Associa-
ton. He said they were convinced
that the restriction of traffic to one
way outbound movements was the
best possible solution under the cir
cumstances.
Two-Way Impossible.
Can't. Whitehurst said it had been
found impossible to maintain two
way traffic over the street car area
in the center of the span during
construction of the center span be-
cause it would be highly dangerous
for private cars with no railing
there when trucks would have to
pull up to dump concrete mixture.
While this work is in progress,
Capt. Whitehurst said, development
of the Rosslyn Plaza will be rushed
in the hope that it would be fin
ished by the time two-way traffic
was resumed.
Capt. Whitehurst said officials be-
lieved the new arrangement would
prove to be one of greater safety,
causing less congestion and q
shorter period of traffic restriction
during the construction program.

Drivers Strike
A. F. of l. Official
Denies Wulkout Is
Jurisdictionul

Government conciliators were
working today to break the latest
tieup in the city's strike-plagued
building construction program-the
walkout of approximately 400 con-
crete mixing truck drivers.
Howard T. Colvin, Labor Depart
ment conciliator, said that con-
ference between representatives of
the striking Drivers, Chauffeurs and
Helpers Union, Local No. 639, and
committee of truck operators
probably would be held at his office
tomorrow.
John P. Coyne, president OF the
building and construction trades
department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the locals parent
organization, said last night that
the strike was not jurisdictional
dispute between the drivers union
and the Operating Engineers Union,
but a walkout for an increase in
wages.
Ask Is Per Cent More.
The drivers are asking for ap-
proXimately Is per cent higher
wages than they received under the
old contract with the operators, Mr..
Coyne said.
Stewart Keyser, business agent for
the striking local, said earlier, how
ever, that the jurisdictional dispute
was an issue in the strike and that
his union had been awarded juris-
diction over the transit mixer drivers
nationally by an A. F. of l.. ruling
several months ago.
Mr.. Colvin explained that if any
jurisdictional issue was involved 1t
would not be touched on by his
Office, adding that Government con-
ciliators are interested only in the
wage dispute.
Both union representatives and
members of the Operators Com
mittee agreed that building jobs
most seriously affected by the strike
were the new Federal Office and
Social Security Building, the former
already under stepped-up construc-
ton schedule to have office space
ready for the Census Bureau by the
middle of January.
Denies Jurisdictional Dispute.
In denying presence of a jurlsdlc-
tional dispute in the current drivers
strike, Mr.. Coyne commented IN
prepared statement:
Matters in dispute between the
10 organizatio affiliated with the
building and construction trades de-
partment are and will be adjusted
through orderly process established
by building and construction trades
department without strikes here or
elsewhere in accordance with the
provisions of the action OF the ex-
ecutive council = at its Atlantic
City meeting"
Mr.. Coyne said that committee
now ironing out differences between
Local No. 639 and the Operating
Engineers is composed of William L.
Hutchinson, president of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Carpenters;
Richard Gray, secretary of the
Bricklayers and Plasterers' Union,
and Dan Tracy, president of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers.

Speculation Arises
On Successor
To Justice Cox
Bar Group Meets
Tomorrow to Select
List Of Candidates

With the death of Justice Joseph
w. Cox of District Court last week
in Virginia, speculation arises as to
his probable successor, and the Com
mittee on Judicial Selection of the
Bar Association is meeting tomor-
row afternoon, preparatory to
recommending list of candidates to
Attorney General Frank Murphy.
Prominent in speculation is the
name of United States Attorney
David A. Pine, who is considered
to have made an unusual showing
as prosecutor during his term of
Office.
The committee is understood to be
very anxious to have an experienced
qualified local practitioner elevated
to the bench who will be able to do
days work from the very incep-
ton" and who is familiar with the
practice in the local courts.
When the committee makes up its
list it will report to the Bar Asso-
citation, it is said, but the list of can
didates it recommends to the Attor-
ney General is not likely to be made
public Immediately. Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy will make his selection
known to President Roosevelt. At
the White House today Attorney
General Murphy said he had given
no attention to the vacancy.
Early Appointment Seen.
In view of the special session of
Congress starting on Thursday next,
the situation takes on added i'm
portance. The Chief Executive may
recommend a new jurist of District
Court to the Senate for confirmation
Immediately.
Prominently mentioned in the
past as available for judgeship
here have been: E. Barrett Pretty
man, Roger J. Whiteford, Seth w.
Richardson, former Assistant At
torney General; 10 v. Morgan, the
"one-man Board of Tax Appeals"
of the District; George P. Barse,
general counsel of the Bureau of
the Controller of the Currency,
Treasury Department.; H. Winship
Wheatley, Arthur P. Drury and
Brice Clagett.
Justice Cox was chosen for the
bench after he had made an out
standing record in private practice
here. Although Democrat, he
was selected by President Herbert
Hoover.
Members Of Committee.
Henry I. Quinn is chairman of
the Bar Associations Committee on
Judicial Selection. Serving with
him are: John r. Benny, Edmund
L. Jones, AL Philip Kane, John E.
Laskey, former United States at
torney here; Robert N. Miller, Louis
Gutenberg, Stanton c. Peelle, Abram
M. Tillman and Assistant United
States Attorney John j. Wilson.
OF President Roosevelt's three re-
cent appointments to District Court
only one was a local man-Justice
Bolitha j. Laws, former president
of the Bar Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The other ap-
pointees were Justice T. Alan Colds
boroungh, a former Representative
from Maryland, and Justice James
w. Morris, a former Assistant At
torney General of the United States.
District lawyers say they feel it is
time once more for appointment of
a local attorney to the bench.
