one of the many benches which
line Duke Of Gloucester street-just
to watch the people pass. or to
pass the time OF day with some one.
Often Walk Home.
They frequently invite in friends
for early dinner and the movies q"
Often, after the performance, the
Rockefellers return TO Bassett Hall,
more than a mile away, by walking.
They missed their five boys. one
OF whom is in the Army. at Thanks
giving. and asked the commanding
officer at nearby Fort Eustis to send
up 10 selectees for the holiday.
Bassett Hall today reflects much
Of the simple life which so appeals
to the Rockefellers. 1t is completely
furnished in keeping with the 18th
century. the furnishings having
been collected by Mrs. Rockefeller
and brought here from their New

help support the destitute family of
Mrs. Mary Smith. 26, of Columbia

his fifth child, born that morning
Mrs. Smith said yesterday that
many of the contributions came from
strangers who read of her plight in

Henry. 6, and Eugene. S. raced
through the two rooms Of the little

.Whitehurst Favors
Building Of Bridge
Over Tidal Basin
Sixty Feet Of Mud
Would Make Foundations
For Cousewoy Too Costly

The question whether to span the
north end of the Tidal Basin with
bridge or causeway in connec-
ton with the Independence avenue
extension project virtually" has
been decided in favor of a bridge,
Capt. H C. Whitehurst, District di-
rector of highways, said yesterday.
I'VE are still studying the prob
lem Capt. Whitehurst said, and
two factors seem to favor the use
Of bridge. These are cost and
foundation conditions
He explained that a bridge would
be cheaper to build than a cause
way and that a bridge appeared at
this stage to be more suitable be-
cause there is so feet of mud under
lying the basin waters.
Causeway Might Sink.
Eve can build a firm bridge
foundation in the mud on piles"
Capt. Whitehurst said, adding that
a causeWay might not stay"
Because of its greater weight, he
pointed out. causeway would en-
tail a great deal more foundation
work.
The Commissioners announced

to prepare engineering drawings and
architectural sketches for the In

Capt. Whitehurst empha asize
that the use of one or the other
means of crossing would not inter-
fere with the flushing properties of
the Basin.
He said that even if a causeWay
we're used it would have two small
bridges" within its length to permit
water to flow into the space between
it and the shore line. Thus, he
said, there would be no appreciable
diminution of the actual size of the
