vitation by Republican County
Chairman Edgar w. Pumphrey for
all true progressives" of the Dem
ocratic Party to join the Repub-
licans, asserted "the fusion of Pro-
gressive Democrats and Republicans
is myth"
II personally am going to support
actively the Democratic nominees
this, fall" Mr.. Schilz said, land I
feel sure that the great bulk sf the
Progressive Democrats will close up
the ranks of the party, put aside
their family differences, and in the
traditional manner present a solid
front to the common foe this No
vember.'
Mr.. Schilz' statement was indorsed
by H. Smith Rucker, successful
Progressive candidate for the
Democrat Executive Committee, who

following statement:
Participation by Progressive
Democrats in activities of the Better
Government League and the School

led to rumors that they will not

carry out the pledge required in my
declaration of candidacy to support
the nominees of the Democratic
Party in the coming election"

Gratis are members of the Better
Government League and attended

Work was started last week on
the new twin-bridge project across
the Potomac River, near the High
way Bridge, as part of the Districts
postwar improvement program
A. B. Greene of the bridge divi-
sion Of the District Highway De-
partment, resident engineer, has his
construction shack under construc-
ton just downstream from the
Highway Bridge.
Merritt, Chapman & Scott of New
York, which has the contract for
the first phase, will have Offices and
shops on a barge moored on the
Washington side of the river, near
the Highway Bridge, Mr.. Greene
said.
The resident engineer explained
that Merritt, Chapman g. Scott has
a $2,800,O00 contract for the piers
and abutments of the first bridge
and for the overpass over the Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway on the
Virginia side.
Job Expected to Take 4 Years.
Mr.. Greene estimated that it will
be four years before the entire twin
bridge project is completed. In
view of rising costs, officials are un-
able at this time to give a grand
total figure for the project.
Surveyors last week were prepar-
ing for the. bridge approaches and
workmen were getting out the last
of the trees that stand in the path
The east bridge, the first to be
built. will be used for two-way traf-
fic, while the west bridge is under
construction on the site OF the pres
ent Highway Bridge, Mr.. Greene
said.
The second contract to be let for
the project will be for the super
