Republicans Charges
OF Bay Scandal Hit by
Lane as Ridiculous
By the Associofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. July 16.-
Republican charges that the Ches-
apeake Bay bridge project is tax
ing on the stamp Of a major
scandal" have been branded "ridic-
ulous" by Gov. Lane.
The Maryland Federation of
Republicans had charged that "the
people are being taken for q ride"
on the project.
The Republican statement claimed
that the opinions Of greater en-
gineers of this country" who
thought a tunnel should be built
across the bay instead of a bridge
were overrdden for the advice of
"a single favored engineering finn. :"
Gov. Lane declared yesterday he
had received no communication
from the Republicans, but he
added:
Based on what I have been told
about the statement. it is utterly
ridiculous"
The Governor hastened to defend
the selection by the Maryland
Roads Commission of the j. E.
Greiner Co. of Baltimore as en-
gineers for the project.
He recalled that the Greiner
firms connection with the bay
crossing project dated back to 1898
and asserted:
Their selection was a natural.
This firm was in possession of all
the basic facts needed in deter
mining where and what form of q
bay crossing for vehicular traffic
should take"
The Republican statement came
after the State Roads Commission
had to reject contractors bids for
work on the substructure for the
third straight time because they
were far above the money set
aside.

Cabman Who Hauled
Suspect in. Shooting
OF Wife Is Questioned

The cab driver who hauled Jack
Harrison from the scene OF his
wife's shooting has reported to
police and was to be questioned in
detail today.
Mrs. Myrtle Harrison. 81. es-
tranged wife OF the missing man,
is in serious condition at Emer-
gency Hospital with three bullet
wounds in her chest and left arm.
Police have been seeking Harrison
since the shooting yesterday morn
ing at 4207 Illinois avenue NV.
Detective Sergt. John L. Sullivan
of the homicide squad said the
cab driver got IN touch with police
after reading about the shooting.
Saw Signs Of Exertion.
The cab driver. Sergt. Sullivan
said, told police he had been driv-
ing Harrison around for several
days, had made a trip to the
Charles Town race track and had
driven Harrison to the vicinity
of Illinois avenue. The cab driver
said he had the impression the
man was checking up on his wife.
Harrison, according to the cab
drivers story. had been running
and was putting from exertion
when he climbed into the waiting
cab a block from the shooting
scene. Harrison told him to drive
away and finally left the cab at
Seventeenth and Rhode Island
avenue NE, the driver said.
Police were inclined to discount
a report that a man answering
Harrison's description had jumped
to his death from the Highway
Bridge.
Search Yields No Evidence.
According to Sergt. Sullivan po-
lice got a call yesterday afternoon
from a man who said he had
picked Up a hitchhiker who told
him to stop on the bridge. The
caller said the hitchhiker told him
ne OdQ SI1Ot oUuiCDoNJ olia "e''
going to end his life. With that,
according to this story, the man
climbed out of the car and
jumped.
Harbor police boats went to the
scene but found nothing. Sergt.
Sullivan said police were dubious
about the report because they
thought traffic on the bridge was
so heavy that other motorists
would have noticed and called
police If a man had gone off the
bridge. Also, he said. Mr.. Harrl-
son had been wearing q straw
hat, which would have floated,
and no hat was found in the
water.
Later. police got a report that
Mr.. Harrison had called Mrs. Har-
rison's brother in North Carolina
and said he was going to commit
suicide.
Police are continuing their
search with a check of downtown
hotels and Mr.. Harrison's usual
haunts.

As a result, voters probably
can look forward to a spirited
race in next years general elec-
ton when the Democrats are ex-
pected to submit a slate of can
didates to oppose those put for
ward by charter supporters.
The most definite statements
were made by Council President
Frederic P. Lee and Mrs. Ralph
E. Himstesd.
Both Give Reasons.
Both said they definitely" will
not run for reelection and gave
the pressure of other business as
their reason. Mr.. Lee is a promi-
nent Washington attorney while
Mrs. Himstead. a housewife. is
active in the League of Women
Voters.
The third council member is
Thomas c. Kelley, who said he
docs not expect to run again. :"
Mr.. Kelley also Is an attorney
and operates a farm near Rock
vile. He said he could not af-
ford to devote so much time to
public affairs. F0H s'0tc '-'5
