The BubStructure OF the new
bridge across the Potomac, Just
downstream Of the Highway Bridge
is now 80 per cent completed and
will be finished by December /, bar
ring unforeseen circumstances.
A. B. Greene, resident engineer
Of the bridge division of the Dis
trict Highway Department, made
this forecast.
About November Is. the Bethle-
hem Steel Co. plans to start on q
81, 800, 900 steel erecting contract
launching the second phase of the
bridge construction program, Mr.
Greene said.
Bids for the third phase, paving
the deck of the new bridge, have
not yet been advertised, Mr.. Greene
declared, but will come along in due
time.
The New York firm of Merritt
Chapman g. Scott is now complet-
ing the bridge substructure-a 81
100000 job. The bridge will cost
IS 100000 without paving, Mr..
Greene explained.
AS 1t enters the concluding phase
of its work on the bridge, Merritt,
Chapman & Scott will erect an
overpass at the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal Highway on the Virginia
shore. This work is included in the
$4,000, 900 job, Mr.. Greene explained.
The substructure consists of two
abutments and is piers. One pier
and the abutment on the Virginia
shore remain to me brought above
water, the engineer said.
Where the new bascule draw span
will be erected about the middle OF
the river, the concrete goes down
46 feet below low tide, Mr.. Greene
pointed out.
The bridge will have a span
similar to that in the Arlington
Memorial Bridge to permit passage
of river traffic.
Mr.. Greene said piles have been
driven down 80 to 110 feet below
low tide to bed rock in the bridge
construction.

Eric Bernays Of New York, de-
scribed rs a former member OF the
Communist Party, was questioned
for more than an hour today by the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
Committee Chairman Thomas
identified Mr.. Bernays only as "the
man who once employed Arthur
Adams" He refused to disclose
the identity Of Mr.. Adams except
to say he was mentioned by wit
nesses in executive sessions last

atomic inquiry.
The committee was to continue
its closed sessions this afternoon, but
decided to meet "in place other
than the Old House ONCE Building, "
Chairman Thomas said. He refused
to say Wnere or WnOm lIle Coiii-
mittee would question.
No decision has been made as yet
on whether to postpone public hear
ings scheduled to start Wednesday,
Mr.. Thomas said. He announced
the committee in closed session to-
morrow would interview five wit
nesses, including Steve Nelson. Com
munist Party organizer for Western
Pennsylvania, and DR.. Martin D.
Kamen, chemistry professor at
Washington University, st. Louis.
Earlier today, committee members
said they planned to question IAN
important but not too well-known
witness" Committee officials said
after the morning session that Mr..
Bernays was the witness but they
refused to say whether he was
questioned about previous testimony
that Russian agents might have OBJ
tanned atomic secrets in this coun-
try during the war.
DR.. Kamen disclosed recently he
was discharged from the tonic ener-
gy project at the University of Cali
