ant engineer commissioner Of the
District, and Capt. H. G. Whitehurst,
director of highways. argued that If
only one bridge were constructed,
the trafic load would become so
great in few years that it would
be necessary to build second bridge
anyhow. They said the Bureau of
Public Roads approved two bridges.
Legislation has been sent to Con-
gress to authorize construction of
twin bridges. Even if permit for
construction finally is granted by the
War Department, Col. Arthur said,
the District would have to 60 to
Congress for final approval and
funds.
The District Government pledged
to cooperate in working out plans
which would be practicable not only
to navigators of the river, but also
to vehicular trafiic using the bridges.

Highway Bridge Issue
Will Be Studied BY
District Engineer

The dispute over whether one or
two bridges should be built to re-
place the Highway Bridge has been
dropped into the office of the dis
trict engineer for the War Depart
ment, despite protests of Col. John
M. johnson that the Engineer Office
has authority only over problems of
navigation and flood control
The issue came up at a hearing
yesterday at the Engineer Office,
First and Douglas streets NV
Under consideration was the ap-
pllcation by the District of Colum-
bia for a permit to replace the
present span with two bridges of
four traffic lanes each.
After debate over the long pending
dispute between District officials
supporting the two-bridge plan and
officials of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the
Office of National Capital Parks,
who are insisting on single span,
the problem was taken under advise
ment by the district engineer. All
phases will be studied as to his
jurisdiction before report is made
to the chief of Army engineers.
Grant Voices Opinion.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, chair
man of the Park and Planning
Commission, contended the district
engineer office should take juris-
diction in the issue concerning one
or two bridges. He claimed the en-
gineer was obligated to do so because
the Federal Government owns the
bed of the Potomac River, and is
responsible for protection of inter-
eStS of the Federal Government in
connection with it.
Gen. Grant cited a case in which
the Supreme Court upheld the de-
cision of a Secretary of War deny
ing a permit for a wharf on the Po-
tomac on grounds that it would in
terfere with certain interests of the
Federal Government. Gen. Grant
insisted that two bridges would
pour too much traffic into the al
ready overloaded highways on the
District side of the bridge, interfer-
ing with the functions of the Fed
eral Government which has vital
need of the highways. He con-
tended that two bridges would back
up flood waters more than a single
bridge, causing more damage to
adjacent park property and high
ways on Federal land
Root Favors One Bridge.
Objection to the two bridges also
was voiced by Irving G. Root, super
intendent Of National Capital Parks,
who stressed the damage by flood
waters to park lands and trees.

.QUOTES-
OF THE WEEK
THE REPURLTCAN PLATFORM

me- hEf ODLlOAN FLA lrOhN1
Four planks in the Republican
platform refer especially to the Ne
gro: The advocacy of the FEPC;
the statement in favor of a consti-
tutional amendment for abolishing
the poll tax; the proposal of an
anti-lynching bill; and the state
ment against discrimination in the
army. Of these the poll tax and
lynching planks are evidently not
sincere. The Republicans have al
ready defeated efforts to abolish the
poll tax, and long ago killed the
anti-lynching bill. Their stand for
the FEPC is interesting and signifi-
cant. This is the thing that the
Negro needs most. 1t is a Roose-
welt measure and for the Republi-
cans to advocate it not only shows
their own good sense but their APP
probation of a great man. The
statement concerning the army is
of even greater significance and
the party ought to be held to strict
account. We Negroes ought to say:
"This war we are fighting despite
segregation, just as we fought in
the first World war. But this is
the last war in which we are going
to put our lives and fortunes at
stake without being recognized as
full and equal American citizens"

Statement to the Public

Common to small communities barbour
ing petty minds is the age-old custom OF
tearing down in one moment the COCO
name of an innocent person with false
rumor that certain individuals cling TO as
a staff for support in holding up their
already rotten regulations. 1t has been
brought to our attention that there exists
at present in the minds of the people OF
the Twin Cities q false belief concerning
the quiet marriage Of our daughter, Mrs.
Crystal Marmon, to Private Michael Mar
mon. The belief or rumor is untrue but
can remain harmful in the hands Of those
who want to and are anxious to believe
it true. We, as Crystals parents, are IN
possession of the necessary records to dis
prove this false rumor; and we challenge
any individual to deny what Is proven in
print and what has been included among
the records of the state.
Harder than any other earthly task Is
that Of building up and preserving q good
name. People are not given to respect
and pride in that direction but rather to .
lifetime devotion of marring and defacinG
that which Is good. Our community can
not be q well-thought Of community if it
Is completely devoid of good names, And,
as some people would have it, everyone
else's name and character but their own
would be disf4ured.-Mr. and Mrs. Mill

The Italian-American had his

raised enough noise to be heard.
The Chinese-American had his tong
