Road Projects
Fulfill Area
Dreams
Seat Pleasant and
Md. Park Try for
Them 20 Years

The dreams of nearly 1000 resi-
dents of Seat Pleasant and Mary
land Park, Md, are becoming real
tiles with the start of construction
on two road projects-one in the
southeast corner of the District and
the other in Prince Georges County
For two decades leading citizens
in both of these communities have
fought to give Maryland Park a
direct entrance into the District
with little success until a 2l-year-
old Hyattsville, Md, youth was
killed riding a motorcycle over a
private road connecting Washington
with the Maryland town. This
death of Robert L. Genella on Oc-
tober 9 Of last year prompted many
Investigations and several surveys
were made before it was determined
that the youth met his death in
the District.
After this accident Washington
highway and traffic officials agreed
with the citizens on the need for
opening Sixty-third street NE. from
Eastern avenue to Southern avenue
and the campaign for it gained mo-
mentum. The Maryland Park Citi-
zens' Association in its drive for the
street was aided by Representative
Lansdale G. Sasscer of Maryland,
the late George N. Palmer, who was
chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee; the late F. l..
Watkins, Seat Pleasant business
man. and the Seat Pleasant Fire
Department.
When the District engineers
started cutting the street through
several weeks ago they also cut
Eastern avenue to the District line
ana Southern avenue for several
blocks. The road builders are pre-
pairing a surface for Sixty-third
street and it is expected to be open
by early next month.
A little less than three months
after the deaths of Mr.. Palmer and
Mr.. Watkins the other project that
they worked for was started-the
construction of road on the road
pea OF the abandoned Washington.
baltimore IL Annapolis Railroad
from Seat Pleasant to Lanham.
Nearly every civic leader and
toWn omc1al OF Seat Pleasant is
Juoilant over the prospect of this
project that may give the business
section OF the community a face
nftlng' and solve a number of prob
lens that have been confrontinp
them for the past few years.
When the road, which has started
near Lanham, reaches Seat Pleasant

a portion OF the high ground around
the school will be removed, giving
its Parent Association a
chance to have the playground
graded, for which they have fought
Tor several years. The hard surfac-
ing OF a half of dozen streets,
which was stopped by the town
officials because they could not get
a grade on the proposed highway
will be completed with sidewalks
as soon as the new road is finished
AS for the "face lifting" of the
business section some of the build
ing may have to be moved or part
Of the front taken OF when the road
reaches Roosevelt avenue. At this
time the complete plans for the
road have not been announced.
1t was reported by a reliable
source that the bridge would be

twisting around the wires. Mr..
Regan listed replacement of wood

the membership chairman contact
people and get them to work &c
block captains to keep the citizens
informed "on what's coming up

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. AID
ministration leaders stated today
that the first act to be taken in
the Presidents plan for further
aid to Britain probably would be
the lending or leasing of cargo
ships to England.
1t was indicated that a plan
was now being considered to
seize the 1873 ships of German oc-
'cupied countries now tied up in
American ports to take the place
of those turned over to Great
Britain.
Officials also indicated that the
government still had under adj
visement the plan to turn out 500
planes day by converting auto
mobile factories into airplane
plants but were not yet sure that
the plan was practical. They
stated that automobile manufac-
turers were already cooperating in
the country's preparedness plan.

POWER PLANT
ROLLS ABOUT
TAKES ELECTRICITY RIGHT
TO YOUR DOOR WHEN
YOU NEED IT
sBy Associated Pre.s,

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Jan. 2.
An electric power substation on
wheels that can travel so miles
an hour and feed out enough
electricity for a city of 10000, is
ready for 194l's storm damage to
electric lines.
The plant is built on trailer,
and is no larger than a medium
size truck. 1t offers a new step
in quick restoration of electricity
when power lines go out and for
bombed communities in war it
has special possibilities.
The General Electric Co. de-
signed the portable power plant.
1t has retraceable, trolley-like
tower rising from the roof to
make the connection with a pow
er line Inside are transformers
and switching systems to distrib-
ute the electricity. Two types
have been made. one for large
communities and the other for
small.
To make sure that children or
providers do not burn themselves,
the parts which might be touched
by outsiders are set behind a
heavy steel screen. The rest of the
plant is sheathed like an armored
truck behind steel plates.

Police Captain Alberta Camera
reported the trouble to the shore
patrol, a policing organization
by the navy depart
ment here. Police Officer Ray
Atwell also helped to quell the
disturbance. In a few moments
the shore patrol had stopped a
bottle and stone battle in Petronia
street between Whitehead and
Thomas.
After things quieted down
somewhat another gang of sailors
and soldiers assembled in Petron-
ia street, between Duval and
Whitehead streets. Capt. Camera
sent in an appeal to Capt. Jacobs,
who called Col. Hatfield to quell
the disturbance.
| Himself taking command of the
situation, Col. Hatfield rounded
up Ia marines and rushed to the
scene of the trouble in a truck.
He held the remainder of the ma
rines at the naval station, ready
for any emergency.
Then the sailors were quickly
rounded up and ordered back to
the naval station. Col. Pendleton
ordered the military police to stop
Fall caves of soldiers, and soon
rounded up the men at Key West
barracks.
1.-The trouble was of trivial
nature and nothing should be

Service Men Have Mix-Up
Here In COlOred Section

A near-riot of United States
sailors and soldiers, who threat
ened to wipe out part of the col
ored section of Key West, was
quelled late Wednesday night.
All shore liberty for sailors and
marines was stopped and all lib
erty for the soldiers was ended
on orders of Capt. Walter F. JAG
obs, U.S.N., commandant of Key
West naval station, and Col. L. l..
Pendleton, U.S.A., commandant

The trouble started, it is re-
ported to Lieut.. Col. G.. d. Hat
field, US. marine corps, COM
mandant of the marine detach-
ment in Key West, when a SOL
dier and a sailor got into a fight
in a colored drinking place on
Petronia street near Thomas

Two negroes in the place pro-
tested and the fight was on. The
sailor and soldier turned on the
colored men and began fighting.
1t is alleged that the colored men
drew knives. The sailor and
soldier were both slashed, but
not seriously.
In a little while word spread
