House Speed Pledged
On Replacement Of
Old Highway Bridge

Definite assurances that action
on the bill authorizing replacement
of old Highway Bridge over the
Potomac River would not be delayed
because Of the building materials
shortage came last night from
Chairman Chapman Of the bridge
subcommittee of the House Inter-
state Committee.
Mr.. Chapman, Democrat, of Ken
lucky said he planned to discuss
the measure informally today with
members of the subcommittee and
to try to arrange for subcommit-
tee inspection of the bridge area
next week.
II regard this measure as of great
Importance" said Mr.. Chapman,
"and I believe we should go ahead
and do our work in passing legis-
lation authorizing the project. We
want to get the legislation on the
statute books, and the question of
whether and when building mater
ials will be available can be deter
mined later by responsible Federal
officials"
Consideration of the measure was
begun more than a year ago and ex-
tensive hearings were concluded
early this year.
With all principal parties satisfied
as to the need for replacing the old
span, the protraoted battle has
turned on the issue of whether
there should be one six-lane bridge
to replace the old structure or twin
spans of four lanes each; one for
northbound traffic and one for
southbound, as advocated by the
Commissioners and Highway Direc-
tor H. c. Whitehurst.
Harold Ickes, former Secretary OF
the Interior. joined with Maj. Gen.
U. s. Grant III, chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and other groups, in
insisting on a single lane bridge
District officials were supported in
their twin-span plan by the Public
Roads Administration, the Fine Arts
Commission and others.

The whipping post was used last
October IN the Prince Georges
County Jail when Sheriff r. Earle
Sheriff executed the sentence OF
Associate Justice Charles C. Mar
bury on Lloyd o. Busching, 30, con-
victed of beating his wife. At the
time, no previous use of the penalty
in the county could be recalled
Busching received 10 lashes under
a statute of 1882.
Shortly thereafter, Justice Mar
bury spared another wife beater
from the penalty because of age and
sentenced him to a year in the
House of Correction.
The grand jury report represents
one of the first public pleas for ex-
tension of the penalty to other Of
fenses. Proposals placed before the
General Assembly in recent years
usually have included a bill to abol-
ish the whipping post throughout
the State.

Bill
Action by House Unit
Pledged by McGehee
By Don S. Worren

Representative McGehee. Demo.
crat, of Mississippi yesterday gave
definite assurances" to Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee that he would act with
all possible speed to send to the full
committee a bill charting Washing.
tons future slum clearance and re-
development program.
Just when this would be was left
somewhat indefinite, although Mr.
McGehee said he would seek to hold
meeting of his Judiciary Subcom-
mittee some time this week.
The need for speed is becoming
daily more important because the
tentative plan is for Congress to
recess over Easter, probably by the
end of next week, until April 90
If the bill does not get to the hands
of the full committee before the
Easter recess, indefinite delays are
anticipated.
BiIbo's Words Recalled.
One of the arguments for action
now is that Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee has de-
clared he would oppose any addi-
tion extensions Of the deadline on
occupancy of alley dwellings in
Washington beyond July /, unless
permanent legislation is adopted
meanwhile. s
"We have extended this deadline
for two years now, and I don't
believe there should be any more, /"
Senator Bilbo said recently.
Chairman Mcmillan called Mr..
McGehee into conference yesterday
about prospects for action on the
bill as result of a protest he had
received over delays from Repre-
sentative Randolph, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, former chairman
of the District Committee and the
author of one of the earlier bills
on the slum clearance program.
every Logicar Answer.
Chairman Mcmillan asked Mr..
McGehee for action as soon as pos
sible and received what was re-
garded as the Every logical" answer
that the McGehee Subcommittee
had not had a meeting in the past
week because some Of the judiciary
Subcommittee members were serv-
ing on the special committee in
vestigating the District Jail.
Further, Mr.. McGehee said he
wanted to propose a number OF
amendments to the 1o-year SIC, ,000,-
900 slum clearance bill as adopted
months ago by the Senate and that
therefore he wanted to have meet
ing of his subcommittee when all
members could attend.
