|S65O,OO0 Park Road
Projects Here 10 Get
Under Way Shortly
By Rudolph Kouffmonn II

More than $650000 work of park
road and parkway improvements
delayed since last year by President
Truman's 1916 moratorium on pub
lie works, viii get under way this
spring and summer.
Topping the list will be grading
Of two-mile extension of the
George Washington Memorial Park
way in Arlington, from Key Bridge
up the valley Of Spout Run to con-
meet with Lee highway at Lorcum
lane. The work is estimated to cost
$500, 900.
The extension has been awaited by
Virginia residents since before the
war a. q means Of relieving conges-
ton at Rosslyn Plaza.
Harry T. Thompson, assistant su-
pertendent of National Capital
Parks, said today plans for the park
way extension will be completed by
June and contracts to grade the
roadway will bea let soon after that
= so h Cpanpleted in 194s.
Extensiae grading and filing must
|he done before The paving can be
applied, he said. The road probably
will not be finished and open fo1
Iase until some ttmesin 1948.
4 The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which has
bought the right-of-way for the ex-
tension in cooperation with vir-
gifia and Arlington County on $3.50
Federal aid basis, Is expected to
wind up contracts to purchase the
few remaining parcels OF land
needed for the route.
The extension will run under the
southernmost arch Of Key Bridge
and will be linked with the plaza
by one or possibly more feeder roads.
Two other park road improve
ments in the delayed program are
the repaving of the roadways around
the Ellipse and the repaving of
Seventeenth street NV. from Con-
stitution avenue south to the John
Paul Jones statue.
Bids Opened on Project.
Bids were opened yesterday on the
Seventeenth street project. Mr.,
Thompson said the park Office and
the Public Roads Administration,
which Is handling the contract,
would recommend that the Interior
Department award the contract to
the Wilmoth Paving Co, which
made low bid of So, 900.
The Ellipse roadways. to be I'm
proved at a cost Of $1o0, 900, are ex-
pected to be completed by October l.
Both these and the section Of Sew
enteenth street I'd be improved are
old-type high-crown roads with deep
cobblestone cutters. They are TO be
repaved like other city streets, but
with low park-type curbstone about
az inches high.
Both have been q traffic hazard,
Mr.. Thompson said, because of their
high crowns and slippery surfaces.
In the case of the Ellipse roads,
drainage has been poor.
Funds for all three projects were
appropriated for the current fiscal
year ending July l but were held up
by reconversion problems and short
ages of men and materials.

1t First Party Since Arrival
BY Betty BeaIe

The Norman Armours were well
coined back to Washington yester-
day in the proper manner. The able
new Assistant Secretary Of State
and his attractive wife got beauti-
full send-off for their new Capital
role when bachelor Edward Tom
linson entertained at cocktails in
their honor in the Madison Suite at
the Wardman Park Hotel.
The first party to be given for
Mr.. and Mrs. Armour since his lat
est appointment, this was not an
official affair. 1t was mostly a
gathering of old friends who knew
the Armours when they were sta
toned at various South American
posts, and it included a number of
the Latin American Ambassadors
with whom the new Assistant Sec
retary of State will be dealing. Mr..
Tomlinson has known Mr.. and Mrs.
Armour for over Is years and visited
the former Ambassador and his wife
when they headed our Embassy in
Santiago and again in Buenos Aires.
The man who will be responsible
not only for Latin-American affairs
but for European, Far Eastern and
Near Eastern as well, is a person of
exceptional charm whose face re-
fleets intelligence, humor and
friendliness. 1t was he, our host
said, who succeeded in getting the
Argentine government to break with
the Axis back in the days when he
was United States Ambassador
there. Former Argentine President

and, as a result, was removed from
