Connecticut avenue-G street sub
way serving main station under
ground there, all streetcar lines
would be removed from Union Sta

would be devoted to taxis, private
cars and west-bound buses.
5. Development of a bus terminal,
to occupy an entire square in the
vicinity of Twelfth and I streets
NV, to serve all suburban bus
operations. The terminal would be
owned or controlled by the city
government, under the proposed
plan, but leased to private cor
poration for operation. Ultimately,
the inter-city buses also could use
this terminal, the consultants
added.
This building would provide space
for shops, restaurants, concessions,
Offices for bus companies and the
terminal management, but would
be devoted largely to automobile
parking. Visioning a bright future

Boiling Fie|d-Camp Springs
Road Closed, Army Says

The United States Engineer Of
flee of the War Department an
nounced over the week end that the
9l2-mile military highway connect
ing Boiling Field with the Camp
Springs Air Base in Prince Georges
County, which was in use last week,
is now closed to public traffic.
Although the road had not been
officially opened, it had been in use
for some time after one lane had
been compelled from Nichols avenue
and Sheridan road Sc. to the en-
trance to the Camp Springs base.
E. A. Schmidt, head engineer, ex-
planned that construction operations
and the effect of recent rains have
necessitated the action. He added
that the road will not be opened
until some future date, possibly in
November, when most of the work
is completed and provisions made
for its proper operation and main
tenance.
Announcement of the date when
the highway will be formally opened
will be made by the district engi-
neer of the local United States En-
gineer Office, Mr.. Schmitt said.

2. Pennsylvania avenue subway,
2.7 miles long, costing $21, 100000. 1t

west of the White House, to Second

via the avenue, Fifteenth, G and
Thirteenth streets, Pennsylvania av-
enue and c street to John Marshall
place, near the Municipal Center,
and then swing under the Mall to
Independence and Pennsylvania
avenues.
Extensions in Future.
There are suggestions that both
these subway systems likely would
be extended in future years, to the
northeast and the southwest.
3. Fourteenth street subway, 13
miles long, costing s10,500,000. 1t
would start south of Thomas Circle,
which already has vehicular un-
derpass on the line of the cross
wise Massachusetts, avenue, and
would wind up at the existing un-
derground streetcar terminal near
Maine avenue SW.
This project entails the interest
ing engineering feat of having two
levels of subways at Fourteenth
and F and Fourteenth and G
streets, where the the Fourteenth
street tube would underpass those
of the other two subways. There
would be two-level station under

"k fYFATHER was born in Russia but he came MI to America years ago. With my brothers Al and Mike, was brought up as good American.
 When I was in my teens I met handsome young Navy man at Shriners' convention in San Francisco. His name was Bryan Conner. twas love at first sight-and you know the reputation of the Navy for action Bryan proposed that night He didn't know when we could marry because he had to get right back to his destroyer. But we weren't going to wait.
 ''T rented motor boat, went out to the destroyer and talked to the captain. In five minutes Bryan was on his way back to shore and we were married.
 GAS time passed we had fine baby boy. We named him William By the time Bill was growing into young manhood my husband was assigned to recruiting service in Atlanta. He and Bill had great times hunting and fishing together. We were happy family. My two brothers visited us often and we'd have the joliest parties and picnics.
 ''Then the war started in Europe. Our son came to us night and explained how he felt about it. He wanted to be prepared so he enlisted.
 Like any mother hated him to leave home but couldn't stand in his way. Bill joined up.
 Pearl Harbor was more than my husband could take He had lots of friends on the Arizona, the Utah, and other ships. He was AS years old but he asked for active duty and he got it-on PIT boat in the South Pacific.
 My brothers got in too-Al in the Army Mike in the S;.abees. There they were-all four of them in it, my husband and brother Mike in the Pacific; my son and brother Al in Africa.

There is only one excuse for telling Helen Corners story

Deeply regret to inform you that your brother,
 Michael Zadorkin, was killed in action in per-
 formance of his duty and in the service of his
 country in the South Pacific on July 2, l943. "On July Sth read:
 The Secretary of War desires that I tender his
 deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your
 brother Allan ZadOrkin. Report received states
 he was killed in action on July 9th, I943. Some time later saw my husband. He was as shocked as 1 was about the death of our only son and my two brothers. But he was all the more de- termined to fight on.
 s'I remember seeing him off It was at subma- rine base in Florida. At two in the morning. There was light mist over the harbor. kissed my hus- band and he went aboard his PIT boat. watched him as long as l could see him waving goodbye. 1t wasn't many weeks later that opened final message:
 Deeply regret to inform you your husband,

I'm not licked and I never will be- I'm going to live to see that day that great day-when our enemies are made to pay in full for the lives they have taken away from all of uS.''
 That is Helen Conners story. Her tragedy is made public here only because it makes this fact crystal-clear: war can be won only by sacrifice. Buying War Bonds may call for sacrifice on our part. But when our sacrifice is compared to that of Helen Conner or her men, doesn't it make you feel that putting every last cent into War Bonds is really little enough to do? See if you can't buy another Bond-today.
