Congressional Fur Flies

Ohio's portly Congressman Clar- ence Brown flew into a rage the other day after an obscure Air Force captain got the best of him at a House hearing.
 Brown was championing the cause of the private grocers near Wright Patterson Air Base, who complained that the base comis- sary was hurting their business.
 However, Capt. A M. Puncsak, the sales officer, refuted each arg ument brought up by Brown and his constituents, with such cool consistency that the Congressman begain raising his voice.
 At one point, Captain Puncsak replied abruptly: beg your pardon, sir!"
 This offended Browns Congress- lonal dignity, which he soon dis carded altogether After Puncsak left the room, following the heG. : ing, Brown exploded.
 Waggling finger under the noses of the other Air Force otiic- CTS, Brown shouted. That h1.a s. o. B. (referring to Captain Pun csak He ought to be court martialed"
 Then he went into a tirade ab- out military officers in general.

Early Hearing Pledged
On BeaII's Bill for
New Anacostia Bridqe
By Harold B. ROGERS

An early hearing on the bill
to authorize bridge over the
Anacostia River at East Capitol
street was promised today by
Representative Davis, Democrat,
of Georgia. .
The measure, introduced yes
terday by Representative Beall,
Republican. of Maryland, for
himself and Representative Sass
Ger, Democrat. of Maryland, was
referred to the House District
Subcommittee on Streets and
Traffic, of which Mr.. Davis is
chairman.
Although the Georgia legislator
is busy as head of another Dis
trict subcommittee investigating
crime in the District, he said to-
day his streets subcommittee will
schedule hearing soon on the
bridge bill.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee charac-
terized the Beall bill as an "urg-
ent measure" He said he hopes
it can be handled quickly by the
Davis subcommittee and enacted
by the House. If Congress enacted
the, legislation soon, Mr.. Mcmillan
said, funds for construction could
be included in the pending Dis
trict appropriation bill for next
fiscal year.
Hearings Completed.
Hearings have been completed
on the city supply bill by the
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee in charge of 1t. The bill now
awaits final action by the full APP
propriations Committee, as part of
the big omnibus spending measure
for the entire Government.
The subcommittee repeatedly
has stricken funds earmarked in
the Commissioners budget for the
East Capitol Street Bridge, be-
cause of the controversy on the
structure.
The Beall bill was drafted by
the District Commissioners in
response to a joint request from
Representatives Sasscer and Beall.
1t directs the District heads to
construct, maintain and operate
the bridge over the Anacostia.
The sum Of not more than $12,-

Parks.
The measure also would provide
that any of the recreation areas
on either side of the river needed
for the bridge should be abolished.

ooo, 900 would be authorized for
the structure. but would have to
be appropriated later, before con-
struction could start.
Planners Want Study.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, however
has recommended that a further
study be made of the Anacostia
River Bridge problem before any
decision is made as to a crossing.
The commission staff strongly
recommends Massachusetts, ave-
nue. for a site and opposes the
East Capitol street location.
The Beall measure would au-
thorize transfer of property need
ed for bridge heads for the span
to the District Commissioners.
Such lands now are under control

Are you happy?" could you

The pursuit OF happiness has al
ways been a focus Of human en-
deavor. In one way OF another
