Traffic Plans
House Subcommittee
Projects Vary From
Whitehurst Report

District officials today promised
thorough study of traffic proposals
made public Saturday night by a
House subcommittee, but refused to
comment until they had investi-
gated the suggestions.
Principal points in the report OF
the Traffic Subcommittee of the
House District Committee under
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, were subterranean
parking garage for the Mall instead
OF the so-called fringe parking"
plan suggested by the Whitehurst
highway development plan; sur
vey of SubWayS and underground
highway feasibility, and federally
financed tunnel under the Potomac
River with exit near the new War
and Navy Buildings in Arlington.
The Whitehurst report discarded
underground parking facilities for
the Mall as being too costly, but
the subcommittee maintained the
Mall location would be cheaper be-
cause the Federal Government
alrea0y owns the land.
Operating Expense Hit.
Highway Director H. C. White
hurst has told congressional sub
committees that such an under
ground garage would require a capi-
tai investment of an estimated 81, 500
per car space. He also testified to
heavy operating expense OF such a
project from ventilation, drainage
and lighting requirements.
The fringe parking lots suggested
by the Commissioners did not con-
template expenses of more than $3.50
to $3.50 per car space.
1t is understood the question Of
municipal subsidy for such parking
spaces has bothered District officials.
who see no reason why special
group of parkers should receive spe-
clal benefits from tax money. Also
involved in the question of subsidy
Is whether District money could
eQuitably be used to cover parking
facilities which would also be used
by non-taxpaying Virginia and
Maryland cars.
Two Highways Suggested.
At least two depressed highway
have been suggested by the White
hurst studies, one running from the
central area, the Northwest and an
other to the Northeast. However.
it is understood these would not be
completely underground during their
entire extent, thus reducing ventila-
ton problems.
In connection with a tunnel under
the Potomac, it is authoritatiyely
reported that such projects cost
from two to two-and-a-h half times
as much as bridges, while handling
only half the volume of traff1c. Op-
Grating expenses of a tunnel are also
said to run much higher than those
OF a bridge. The Whitehurst report
suggested a tunnel under the Poto-
mac connecting with Alexandria.
Treadway Opposes River Tunnel,
Representative Treadway. Re
publican, of Massachusetts mean
while told the House today he hoped
Congress would not follow the sub
committees recommendation for a
vehicular tunnel under the Potomac
Mr.. Treadway said he had reao
with surprise the subcommittee
recommendation for a federall,
financed tunnel under the Potomac
in view of efforts to curtail Gov
eminent expenditures not directly
related to national defense.

Police Will Check
Report Of Reopening
OF La Fontaine's
Control Of Gambling
House by Out-of-T Town
Interests Rumored

A. Gwynn Bowie, Prince Georges
County States attorney, said today
he will have police check reports
of the reopening of Jimmy LaFon-
taine's gambling establishment just
across the District line on Bladens-
burg road.
The place was closed in August,
1899, when former States Attorney
H. Winship Wheatley. jr, posted
police at the entrance to record
license numbers of autos parked
there and warned that the car own
ers would be called to testify before
= grand jury.
Reports have circulated in the
county recently to the effect that the
gambling house has been reopened
and is under control of an out-of-
town organization. Questioned by
reporters over two months ago, the
States attorney said he had no re-
port of its reopening. Police Chief
Arthur w. Hepburn said at that
time that officers were watching
the place but that they had failed
to note any signs of renewed ac-
tivity.
II first heard the report Of the
reopening Saturday" Mr.. Bowie said
Naturally I intend to check with
police to see if there is any basis
for the report. It will then be time
to decide what. if anything, will be
done about it,"
Chief Hepburn said today that
police knew nothing of the supposed
reopening.
I'VE have been watching the place
for some time and have seen no
signs of any activity there. I have
had one or more officers observing
the place for the last three or four
weeks" he said. but they have re-
ported that no illegal activity Is
taking place there"
Questioned about reports Of an
other gambling house which rumor
says has been opened on the Marl-
boro pike, Chief Hepburn said that
. sergeant Of the county force has
been watching that place for some
time, but has reported that he Is
sure nothing Of that nature Is going
on there.
Mr.. Wheatley left oifice last sum-
mer when he was called to duty
as q Naval Reserve ofdcer. The
grand jury which met in October
made no mention Of gambling In 1T
report.

Two factors might be responsible

One is that most of the wheat was
