WASHINGTON, d. C.-There
is nothing new here in this great
capitol of the world, when it
comes to making law that viii
strengthen not only the moral
forces here in these United Sta

anti-lynching bill, is bound to
undergo the same sinister tongue
lashing; the same revolving ex-
ercise that take their places in
the form of a fillibuster, that it
has always undergone When it
comes up for passage. This feel
ing is so eminent that a group
of Republicans, headed by Sen.
Ferguson are ready to stick the
bill on t osome legislation in or
der for it to get hearing.
The, Southern dissenters,
steeled by the ''hater of Negro
Rights, Sen. Eastland have let
it be known that they care no
thing absolutely about anti-1yn-
ching, or nothing else which
might bring America in line with
the philosophy it is preaching to
other nations. In fact, Sen East

Investigating Committees report
showing how our taxes paid for rural
roads have been wasted. We hope
our Legislators will give more atten-

funds, and less attention to those
who are interested in increasing our
already excessive taxes on the man
who drives a car. If they will do this,
we can have a farm-to-market road
program without increasing the gas

Repairs Again Slow
Traffic on BRIDGES

Motorists crossing the Potomac
on the way to work were slowed
up again this morning as slow-dry-

Washington-bo bound lane on the Me-
mortal Bridge closed to traffic.
Cars were backed up in solid lines
on all Virginia approaches to Me-
mortal Bridge as police routed them
into the two open bridge lanes.
Motorists by-passing the Memorial
Bridge also slowed down movement
over the Fourteenth Street Bridge,
police reported.
But the delay was not as great as
the traffic jams created yesterday
morning, police said, when three
of the six Memorial Bridge lanes
were barricaded because of resur-
facing the paving on the draw
swing open. Thousands OF motor
lists were backed up then at each
bridge.
George E. Clark, chief of the CON-
struction division of the National

were opened late yesterday. Work.
men inspected the bridge early to-
day, he said, but found the material
still too vet to open the other lane.

Auto Parking Proposal.
Would Use Land Lying.
Beyond Building Lines

"A proposal to authorize private
| lpArking lot operators to make use
of land, lying between sidewalks and
the building lines was before the
District Commissioners today.
P. Y. K. Howat, chairman of the
District Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency, said he planned to ask the
Commissioners for a revision Of an
existing law which would make
more than $50 additional parking
spaces available to downtown mo-
toriSts.
Under the law, Mr.. Howat said.
lot owners are permitted to park
cars only to the building line In
many areas of the city buildings
stand SO far back from the street
that much lot space is wasted, he
added.
Specifically, he cited a private lot
opposite the Carlton Hotel on Six
teenth street NV, where, if the
law were revised, Is extra spaces
would be opened between the build
ing line and the sidewalk There
are about 20 such lots in the Dis
trict, he said.
On an average turnover of three
cars to parking space a day, the
revision would make available room
for 1000 vehicles to be parked, Mr..
Howat explained.
Pointing out that the city's new
fringe parking projects are tagging,
Mr.. Howat said he has asked de-
partment stores to run promotional
advertising on locations of the two
lots and facilities for reaching them.
They are Third street and Consti-

Mr.. Beloff retorted, "and I saw
Spivak walk across that lime and

bedroom and I saw the treads OF
the rubber shoes that Spivak was

point asked, do you have violent
temper?"

only when it Is necessary. I am
