East Capitol ST. Site
Backing Fails 10 End
Span Fight on Hill
By Don S. Worren

Final legislative decisions on the
location and costs of the next
bridge to be built over the Ana
costa River are still in the fu-
ture, although city officials have
won the first round in their bat
tie with planning experts.
The first decisive Capitol Hill
action was taken late yesterday
when the Davis subcommittee of
the House District Committee
sided with the city heads argu-
ment that $12 million span
| should be built on the line of
East Capitol street.
1t was recognized, however, that
this action still is long way
from final enactment. Planning
officials, who have bitterly in
sisted the bridge should be built
farther downstream on the line
of Massachusetts, avenue Sc,
withheld their fire. A continuing
battle on Capitol Hill was FORE
cast by some observers, however
Now Up to Committee.
The action of the Davis sub
committee, nevertheless, gave a
big lift to the hopes of the Dis
trict Commissioners and other
groups, which have been support
ing the East Capitol street site.
Their plans were generally ap-
proved unanimously by five men,
bers of the Davis subcommittee.
Two other members of this group
did not attend the session, but
there was no indication they were
opposed.
The next step would be action
by the full House District Com
mittee. Chairman Mcmillan had
planned quick meeting of the
District Committee, but other
commitments by members seemed
to bar a meeting this week. 1t
probably will go over until the
next regular meeting April 3, aides
said.
Assuming approval of the bridge
plan by the full District Commit
tee this would throw the issue
into the House on April 10. 1t
had been thought the question
might be considered in the House
the next District day. next Mon
day.
United States Holds Title.
Unless some compromise can be
reached. affirmative legislative ac-
ton will be needed to settle the
seven-month agency battle since
the title to the needed bridge site
is held in name of the United
States.
Thus. although the planning
commission has no final legislative
control to ban the project as
planned by the District Commits
sioners, it might hold it up because
the title is with the Federal Gov
ernment.

This Changing World
Schuman Plan Offers The One Hope
For Peace Among West Europe Nations

now under six different authori-
ties. But the elimination of COM
petition and integration of indus
tries for more efficient operation
is only one of the possible con-
sequences of the Schuman plan
II the free flow of coal and steel
within the pool creates an eco
nomic tie which serves to prevent
war, the free flow of food would
serve that purpose even more.
If Britain finally refuses to have
anything to do with the movement
for Western European economic
union the Schuman plan would
be dealt virtually a death blow
But it appears that Britain can
not afford to give the plan such a
blow particularly since the United
States, which has been supporting
Britain ever since the war, stands
four square behind European in
tegration.
Long and TortuOus Path.
The British Labor government
may be forced. by pressure OF
opinion in the United States and
Western Europe, to take some
part in this greatest attempt to
make sense out of Western
Europe's present conflict of eco-
nomic and political interests.
Certainly it will be difficult for
the British to refuse to give up a
small slice of their sovereignty to
supernatural authority when
other governments, aware that
their economic and political
strength must be built on union,
are willing to make the required
sacrifices.
Although the French proposal
for a European Parliament ap-
pears to be aimed to make eco
nomic integration more palatable
to the London government-for
presumably it would give the Brit
ish a democratic forum in which
to protect their own interests
the prospect of easier access to
supplies of food on the continent
which the farm pool proposal i'm
plies may be an even greater in
ducement.
The path toward European
union will be long and tortuous,
but a start is being made. Those
objections which have merit can
be met. Those which are based
simply on pure self-interest will
have to be overcome by pressure.
If any country illustrates this
great step toward the removal of
causes of war within Western
Europe it must bear the respon-
sibility for the tragic conse-
ouenceS.

hardly complain. The donkeys
have been here centuries and CEN

visitor arrived. so they have a
sounder claim to the streets of

If you are visitor. and want to

a drink from the cold-drink ven-

bright red in color. is carried in q

always in the shape Of q sailing

The vendor attracts attention
by beating two silver bowls to-

glasses. He cleans the glasses by
pouring in four drops of water,
no more. swirling the drops
around. and emptying them on
the street. AS magic a user of

describe the taste of the drink.
1t is my guess, however, that it is
compounded by mixing the tears

and water from the Red Sea at

One glass of this mixture

Political Heresy in Ohio
Lausche Stand on Senatorial Race
MAY Be Good Tip for Dopesters

for the party's sake, as party men
often are expected to do. to take
on a hard job in a tough year.
Frank Lausche always has
played a lone hand in politics,
and thus far successfully. He ran
on his own in 1914, with little
help to President Roosevelt and
the national ticket. and carried
the State while Mr.. Roosevelt lost
it. 1t was only at the eleventh
hour that he raised a hand finally
in 1948 for Harry Truman, who
seemed to have no chance. The
President barely scraped through
in Ohio, thanks to the farm vote,
while Gov. LauSche won by 22l,-
900.
There may be some clue in the
report that the Ohio Governor
feels that conservative reaction
is setting in, since he has been a
good weather prophet before. Per-
haps the most important thing
out OF this Ohio episode is infor-
nation for the dopesters that it's
best to string along with Sena-
tor Taft in Ohio and take the cue

Senator Kilgore said he had talked

Senate Republicans expect to
make their usual reciprocal trade
challenge-the peril point amend
ment which would effectively re-
strict tariff concessions-some-
time this session. But the trade
agreements legislation is not up:
their problem is to find a proper
parking place for it.
A minor bill that the President
could veto offhand won't do. Yet
they don't want to tack 1t on.,a
bill important to them because
they fear Mr.. Truman might seize
on the amendment as excusing a
veto. The tax bill represents the
latter hazard.
More and more it appears that
Mr.. Gray deserves the sympathy
OF the republic. Last week the
British Labor Party politicians
made it harder for him by rebuff

The eagerness with which not

their awareness of the vital ma

The fact that the British gov

any system which involves the

considerable publicity earlier this
week when he told newspapermen
at the Governors Conference at
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
that he hadn't decided whether he
would vote for the Democratic
candidate for Senator in Ohio,
State Auditor Joe Ferguson, or
for Senator Taft who, it is we'll
known. is No. target for Presi-
dent Truman, the Democrats and
their labor allies.
He had prefaced this announce
ment by describing MIR. Ferguson
as "a good and fearless auditor"
which provoked a loud guffaw
from his hard-boiled newspaper
audience there-and Senator Taft
as "a fortnight and fearless pub
lie official and wound up by say
ing his vote would be guided by
the best interests of the Nation.
Democrats Startled.
This sort Of uncertainty in the
midst of a hot campaign ap-
proaches political heresy, and it
startled Democrats here in the
high command and in his home
State. Mr.. Truman. only three
hours before the luncheon here,
had given a fairly good idea of
how he regards such an attitude.
While he had a brusque mo COM
ment" when asked at his own
regular press conference about
the Ohio Governors statement, he
added in the same breath that he
had no doubt Ohio would elect a
Democratic Senator and then,
when asked how he would vote If
he voted in Ohio, replied that he
would vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket.
The Ohio Governor was natu-
rally the center of interest for
newspapermen who milled about
the hotel room where the lunch
con was held-a private affair to
which they were not admitted
and he was pursued as he came
and went, the "star" of the occa-
sion. When asked afterward If
he had shaken hands with the
President, he replied, slightly an
noyed:
"Of course-the President Is
most delightful and pleasant"
There was no reference at the
luncheon to the Ohio incident.
The Governor has become the
private hero of Republicans who.
of course, cannot be too kind pub
licly because they have a candi-
date of their own for Governor
against MIR. Lausche. who is run
ming for reelection. He has been
the beneficiary of all sorts of praise
for his courage and independ-
ence" from some quarters, just as
was Jimmy Byrnes of South Caro-
lima. former high Roosevelt and
Truman administration official,
when he began to attack the Tru-
man program.
This is all well and good. but
Skeptics who have watched the
Governors political career have
some ideas of their own. They
ask, in the first place, why it is
that Joe Ferguson, who is not an
outstanding figure. is the candi-
date against Senator Taft? It is
because Governor Lausche, who
was regarded as the strongest
candidate, refused requests from
party leaders that he run against
the Senator who is, indeed, for
midable opponent.
