Senator Nicely said he remembered
this but when asked If his city
government studies would include
the Police Department. he gave a
broad answer. He said he want
ed information on all units of the
city government but that he was
not planning any special" atten-

citizens should lead the fight for
suffrage but that he would be
pleased If his committee could
help.

Z Die as 7 Military Planes
Collide in Air at Dallas
BY the Associated Press

DALLAS. Sept. 1.-Two mill
tary planes collided head-on in the
air west Of Dallas today. killing
one man in each ship.
One plane was a two-engine
Navy PMB torpedo bomber, the
other a single-engine F-5l Ma
tional Guard plane.
The Navy plane and another
similar craft had been flying in
formation before the crash.
The F-51 crashed, exploded and
burned The pilots body still was
in the plane.
. The man killed in the Navy
plane crash evidently had tried to
parachute. His body was found
partly out of the craft, the para
chute opened.
Names Of the victims were with

The highway planners noted
also that the proposed location oi
the new bridge would provide
ample space for construction o1
an interchange on the west bank
of the Anacostia to connect with
the Washington Baltimore park
way.
Finally" the report said, 'it
creates an entrance into the Ma
tion's Capital, which would afford
the most magnificent vista of any
existing approach"
Average daily traffic volumes on
principal streets and bridges in the
study area for 1948 were listed as
follows:
Anacostia Bridge: Al ,223 vehicle
trips; Sousa Bridge, 44,938; Ben
ming Bridge, 39,189; Kenilworth
avenue. 1861; Sheriff road. 1882;

Suitland parkway, 1920; South
Capitol street, 7,497.
New Bridges by 1880.
In justifying location of the next
bridge along East Capitol street
the highway planners pointed out
that the proposed Massachusetts
avenue bridge would serve a COM
paratively low volume, with the
Eleventh street Bridge hopelessly
overloaded.
This would call for four new
bridges to accommodate 1880
trans-river trips: Washington

street. Eleventh street relief and

during peak traffic periods alone,
it was disclosed.
1t was revealed that snarled
traffic during rush hours resulted
in delays of as much as 20
minutes per vehicle.
Figures in the highway study
indicated that during an average
24-hour week day in 1948, 125, $50
vehicles demanded access to the
three bridges, and this traffic was
accommodated by combined to-
tai of Is lanes.
The special study of the trans
river traffic movements in the
Anacostia River valley area, pro-
jected to 1880, was prepared by
the Highway Departments plan
ming section, and was released in
the form of a 38-page illustrated
booklet.
The detailed investigation was
spurred by the extent and rate of
development in the sections of the
District and Maryland east of the
Anacostia River. it was pointed
out.
The report noted that the South
Capitol Street Bridge. scheduled
for opening in December, will re-
lieve Immediately the congestion
on the Eleventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue bridges. The
South Capitol Street Bridge will
continue to provide adequate serv-
ice to the area south Of Fort Du-
pont Park for some time to come,
it declared.
Adequate Lane Capacity.
Construction of the East Capitol
street span and the proposed
Washington Baltimore Parkway
Bridge. according to the report,
will solve the problem of providing
adequate lane capacity for the
trip demand originating in the
area north of Fort Dupont Park.
The study then took up the
question of just what an addi-
tional crossing of the Anacostia
to accommodate a predicted in
crease in traffic south, of Fort
Dupont Park will be required and
where it should be constructed.
The report indicated the
Eleventh Street Bridge would
again be overloaded by 1853 and
that the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge, carrying only its own bur-
den of traffic. would become con-
gested by about 1867.
But it was noted that it can be
expected that as the Eleventh
street span reaches the satura-
ton point. the overflow of traffic
would transfer some of the con-
gestion to the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. crossing, and advance the
need for relief there by five or
six years.
The new East Capitol Street
Bridge, the highway planners de-
clared. would establish direct
highway connections over routes
now lightly travelled and through
areas in which conflict with other
major traffic flows can be avoided.
To Provide Many Links.
The route is located on a pub
licly owned right of way of ex-
ceptional width. which would re-
duce the need for expensive land
acquisition, and connects directly
with principal thoroughfares with
in the District and nearby Mary
land, it was pointed out.

Dear Sir:
The page you devote to Mr.. Joseph
Towards radio discussion of the Uni
versity Funds ALLEGATION is bit dis
turbing to many of us in Northern
Montana We have the greatest re-
spect for Mr.. Howard but do not
believe he has treated the ALLEGATION
program fairly.
We need only take one paragraph
of Mr.. Towards excellent speech to
pick numerous holes. ga college is
not just something state contrib
utes to improve business in a given
area, or to enhance local patriotism,
or even to make it easier for young
sters in that area to go to school.
1t is, or should be, place where a
student can avail himself of the best
and broadest intellectual experience
his society can provide, where
learned men and women are asso-
ciated for the advancement of art
and science. Where a college is, is
relatively unimportant; the thing
that matters is what it is"
We agree with Mr.. Towards first
two statements, but in the remainder
of the paragraph we think him
wrong.

MD Un.-lTIES IS
facing $50
MILLION SUIT

Helena, Aug. 23.-Mondakota Gas
Co. of Billings demands $50, ,48O
from the Montana-Dakota Utilities
Co. of Minneapolis and others, alleg-
ing the defendant tried to monopol-
ize the natural gas business in Bow
doin and Baker fields of eastern
Montana.
The plaintiff filed suit in U. S.
district court today, asking treble
damages for alleged violation of the
federal Sherman antitrust law.
Mondakota asserts it was damaged
to the extent Of $10,204,160 when
Montana-Dakota refused to carry
Mondakota gas over Montana-Dako-
ia lines to Mondakota customers.
Montana-Dakota is a common car
rier in interstate commerce, with gas
lines crossing through Montana and
the Dakotas, the plaintiff says. Mon
dakota adds in its complaint:
Originally the defendant offered
to carry gas owned by the plaintiff
at rate higher than that charged
for gas sold to customers and Mon
tana-Dakota failed to file mon
discriminatory rate for transporta-
ton of gas with the federal power
commission until April 2, 1949."
The plaintiff says failure to trans
port the gas resulted in a daily loss
of $500 between Dec. 6, 1941,
when the plaintiff made application
for transportation rates, and 1919.
Total loss in profits was 81, 704,1 100,
the complaint adds.
By taking gas from lands adjoin-
ing 1000 acres owned by the plain
tiff, the defendant drained gas from
the plaintiffs property, damaging it
to an extent of $1,500,000, Mon
dakota alleges.
The plaintiff says it was unable
to keep up payments on 100000 acres
of potential gas lands valued at $4,-
100000 because of inability to mar
ket gas.
The plaintiff also asks recovery of
a $4,000 bond from the ST. Paul
Mercury Indemnity Co.-Great Falls
Tribune.

We certainly disagree. We firmly
