D. T.. Defense Council
Committee Divided
Into Two Groups
RuhIund Heads Health
Unit; Bondy Is Made
Welfare Chuirmon

Acting on a protest made some
days ago by Health Officer George
c. Rutland, the Commissioners to-
day divided into two committees a
committee of the District Defense
Council which had been intended to
deal with health, welfare and con-
sumner interest.
DR.. Rutland was made chairman
of a health committee of the District
council and Welfare Director Robert
E. Bondy was made chairman of a
committee on welfare and consumer
interest. Under their original ap-
pointments Mr.. Bondy had been
designated chairman of committee
on health, welfare and consumer
interest.
District officials explained in their
original setup of the committees of
the council they had followed the
lineup suggested by Federal officials,
but the plan was changed after DR..
Rutland and later other medical
authorities of the District suggested
there should be separate committee
on health.
Members of the District Council
were to hold an organization meet
ing at 8 pm. today in the Office of
Highway Director H. c. Whitehurst,
who is executive vice chairman of
the Council. Commissioners Hazen,
Young and McCoach are co-chair-
men. Other members, in addition to
DR.. Rutland and Mr. Bondy, are: Po-
lice Supt. Ernest w. Brown, chairman
of the Civil Protection Committee:
Sanitary Director John Blake
Gordon, chairman Of the Committee
on Housing, works and Facilities.
Guy w. Pearson, chief clerk of the
District Engineer Department, chair
man of the Human Resources and
Skills Committee, and Philip Y. K.
Howat, chairman of the Industrial
Resources and Production Com
mittee.
Following today's session original
members of the Council will
nominate other members for the
Council and its committees.

Al NAVY Yard Tomorrow

The light cruiser Richmond. flag
ship of Rear Admiral w. L. Friedell,
commander of submarine forces,

At the yard, it was said, this is
the first large Navy vessel to visit
this city in a long time.
Admiral Friedell, who has been
with the battle fleet in Hawaiian
waters, is making an inspection
tour of submarine facilities along
the Atlantic Coast. While here he
is expected to report to the Navy

Fort Drive Finances
Will Be Discussed
By D. {. Officials
Commissioners to Meet
With Park Bourd on
$4,000, 900 Project

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the Dis
trict Commissioners will hold joint
meeting tomorrow afternoon to dis
cuss financing the construction OF
Fort drive.
The joint meeting will form a part
of the monthly session of the Park
and Planning Commission tomorrow
and Friday. Although Engineer
Commissioner Col. David McCoach
is an eX-officio member Of the COM
mission, meetings attended by all
three Commissioners have been rare,
Practically all land needed for
the 23-mile- long drive has been pur-
chased. What little remains to be
bought will be in the form of strips
to make the right of way wide
enough to carry a double-strlp park
way in some sections.
1t has been felt that the drive
should be constructed with District
gas tax receipts. It has been
planned to serve as a major cross
city traffic artery and will be vital
part of the city's highway system.
The Office of National Capital Parks
has no way of financing the drive
and it is doubtful if Federal funds
could be made available for a Dis
trict project.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, District
director of highways, estimated it
would cost from 100000 to S125 900
per mile to construct the drive.
At present the right of way COM
mences in the vicinity of Chain
Bridge and encircles the city to
point near Blue Plains, linking the
Civil War Notifications of the city.
The forts have been purchased
for park purposes.
Another matter to be taken up by
the planners tomorrow is site for
new Junior high school in the
vicinity of Massachusetts, avenue
and Macomb street NV. The site
will be chosen by the Board of
Education, but the planners will act
on it in an advisory capacity. A
special committee of the commits
sion, headed by j. c. Nichols of
Kansas City, Mo, the commission's
real estate member, has been study
ing the choice of a site.

Lee Boulevard
Bott|eneck Cure
Being Drafted
Bypass Under Bridge
For Arlington Ridge
Rood Is Contemplated

Arlington County Va) will pro-
pose to the Federal Government a
plan for abolishing the intersection
of Lee boulevard with Arlington
Ridge road-one Of the most acute
traffic bottlenecks in morning and
afternoon rush hours In the WASH
ington area.
1t has also been learned that
County Manager Frank c. Hanra-
han formally has offered to the
State Highway Commission a plan
whereby the State would develop
Fairfax drive in exchange for the
county assuming the maintenance
of North Washington boulevard.
Mr.. Hanrahan announced that
drawings for the Lee boulevard pro-
posal are now being made by the
county planning engineer. Frank L..
Dieter, for submission to the Federal
Government, probably through the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission because of its involve
ment of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway.
$1,000 Said to Be Involved.
The plan was first advanced at the
last meeting of the Traffic Com
mittee comprising Police Chief
Harry woodward, Traffic Sergt.
James Scott, Safety Engineer Cliff
ton Stoneburner and Mr.. Hanra-
han.
The suggestion that will be offered
the Federal Government is said to
involve only a small cost, believed
to be around $4,000.
The plan would utilize an existing
stone bridge, over which Lee boule-
ward now travels and under one arch
of which the Mount Vernon Memo
rial highway now runs. Under the
terms of the proposal, new 1900
foot roadway would leave Airing
ton Ridge road in front of the
Arlington National Cemetery, and
skip around" the present intersec-
ton with Lee boulevard by passing
beneath the stone bridge through
another arch, now unused. The new
road would connect with Arlington
Ridge road again at the present in
tersection with Wilson boulevard.
Avoids Traffic Light.
BY this means, morning and after
noon rush-hour traffic on Lee
boulevard could pass continuously
the present intersection which Is
now regulated by traffic light.
Likewise, Arlington Ridge road
traffic flowing to and from Rosslvn
would flow steadily beneath Lee
boulevard.
The permanent closing off Of
Arlington Ridge road on both sides
of the intersection would work no
great hardship on motorists. 1t was
claimed, because no left turns are
now permitted there during the
rush-hour periods.

the force, but recurring paralysis
and pain from the spinal injury
forced him to retire three years ago.
In December, 1880, a fleeing
colored gunman fired several bullets
into the sergeant's body. One OF
them lodged so near the spinal
nerve center the bullet could never
be removed. 1t sometimes shifted
causing intense pain.
Although permanently injured,
Sergt. Hughes made an enviable
record on the force. A year after
he was shot, he received a silver
medal for capturing his assailants.
Later he was credited with solving
a bank robbery. He received "a
concentrations for bravery and
meritorious service.
He was appointed to the force
in August of 1923, and was pro-
moted to a precinct detective in
$780, For several years he was
assigned to prohibition enforcement
work and later became Seargent
attached to the pickup and robbery
squads at headquarters and to No.
II precinct.
He will be given military funeral
in Arlington National Cemetary, the
time to be announced later.
Sergt. Hughes is survived by his
wife and a daughter, Mary Ethyle

Hughes; two sisters, Mrs Mary Nc
Coy of Washington, and Mrs Hazel
Montgomery of Steubenville, Ohio,
and his mother, Mrs. Anna Hughes

Engineer Society 10 Hear
Of Afraid Shelters

Factors involved in the construc-
tion of afraid shelters will be de-
scribed by Walter L. Fleisher, New
York consulting engineer, at 8
o'clock tonight in the Dodge Hotel
before the local section of the
American Society of Heating and
Ventilating Engineers.
Mr.. Fleisher spent considerable
time in England examining shelters
through cooperation of the British
government. At the time he sug-
gested to the English that a utili-
tartan afraid shelter could be built
in the form of reinforced concrete
garages.
He pointed out that underground
shelters may become death traps
through gas or water rushing in
from nearby bomb-ruptured mains.
His suggestion is to build garages
10 stories high with the lower levels
designed for shelters.
A dinner will be served at $50
pm. in the hotel, and F. E. Spur
ney, section president, will preside.
