Representative Randolph explained
the terminal expansion bill had
nothing whatever to do with the
traffic situation, but assured Mr.

made looking toward solution of a
condition he described as acute"

Dietz Denies FidIer
Charge Of Threat
To Newspapers
Against CoIumnist's
Conscience to Tell Truth,
Film Probe Witness Says
BULLETIN.

Nicholas NJ. Schenck. president
of Loews, Inc, finished his testi-
mony before the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Subcommittee
late today with the declaration
that he has never discussed with
other leaders of the movie indus
try the making of war propa-
ganda pictures. Asked by Chair
man Clark if he ever discussed
such pictures with any agent of
the British government, Mr..
Schenck said he has never even
met one.
BY J. A. OLEARY.
Flat denial that he had threaten
ed to withdraw advertising from
newspapers using Jimmie Fidler's
column was made this afternoon be-
fore the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating war films by Howard
Dietz, director of advertising and
publicity for Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer
When Senator Tobey, Republican,
of New Hampshire. called the atten-
ton of the witness to testimony to
that effect by Mr. Fidler. Mr. Dietz
replied:
I'm not accusing Mr.. Fidler of
perjury, but I would say Mr.. Fidler
is a congenital liar and it would be
going against his conscience to tell
the truth"
Mr.. Dietz said he never wrote a
letter to the newspapers using the
Fidler column in connection with
any attempt to restrict freedom of
the press.
Il not only abhor any attempt to
restrict freedom of press, but would
fight for it, and many of us are op-
posed to this investigation because
it is an attempt to restrict freedom
of the screen"
Senator Tobey said Mr.. F'idler
testified the publisher of the Nash
vile Banner James G. Stahlman)
got a letter from Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer and that Mr.. Stahlman took
the matter up with the Will Hays
Office in Hollywood.
Mr.. Dietz said he did not write to
the Nashville Banner, but testified
that the local manager of Loews,
Inc, theater in Nashville had made
some alleged threat" that he could
or would withdraw advertising.
Senator Mcfarland developed by
questions that the Nashville incl
dent occurred in 1888 before there
was any question of war propaganda
in the films and that, therefore,
the whole matter could have moth
ing to do with war propaganda.
Senator Mcfarland argued the
pending Senate resolution, already
amended once to cover monopoly,
would have to be amended again to
make these incidents relevant

Financing, However

Plans for superhighway to take
traffic in and out of Washington on
straight line from the Potomac
bridges over the II miles to point
where it will join u S. route at
Woodbridge. Va, were revealed to-
day by District and Virginia high
way officials. They said, however,
construction depended altogether on
financing
While describing the proposed
route as a part of the defense net
work in the State. they said the plan
could not be put into effect until
Congress and Virginia provided be-
tween them approximately $4,000
900, and this they described as
hopeless at present.
The three-quarters of the total
cost which the Federal Government
would put up. it was explained, must
come through a bill now pending in
Congress and already once vetoed
by the President with the explana-
ton that highways are not as i'm
portant at present as ships and air.

Bill Provides 100 Million.
w. c. Markham. secretary of the
American Association of State
Highway Officials, pointed out that
the bill provides $l00000,000. to be
divided among the States for the
construction of roads selected by
the War Department as part of
the strategic defense road network.
AS the projected superhighway lies
altogether within Virginia, it would
mean that the State would have to
use all of its proportionate share
and more in building this one route,
a step considered highly unlikely.
At Richmond, C. S. Mullen, chief
engineer of the State Highway De-
partment, admitted that the road
was included as a part of the Vir-
ginia defense highways. but said 1t
still was a paper" plan and that
he could not predict when anything
would be done about it. He said
there were highways in the New
port News, Radford and other de-
fense areas of the State which also
merited serious consideration.
Smith Has Heard Just Rum0rs.
Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia, in whose district the
proposed roadway would fall, said
this afternoon all he knew about the
project was "rumors." He added
he had not been approached by any
source for introduction of any sep
arate bill to take care of its con-
Struction.
According to plans, the route
would tie in with all three Poto-
mas bridges and would extend in
almost a straight line to Wood
bridge. 1t would be divided lane
highway of the limited access type.
All cross roads would go above or
below the super road
Mr.. Mullen explained that the
highway would not be considered a
relocation or an alternate of United
States Route /, although both pri-
vate and commercial vehicles would
be permitted to use it.
