Hearings This Week
On Anacostia Bridge
By Don S. Worren

A Senate District subcommittee
this week is expected to take up
the eight-month battle between
administrative agencies here over
the best site for the projected new
Anacostia River bridge.
District officials already have
won House approval of their plan
for building the span on the line
of East Capitol street-a location
opposed by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Both sides to the issue have
supporting groups and both have
cited traffic counts as we'll as aes-
thetic arguments in upholding
their contentious.
The issue now goes to the Fiscal
Subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. headed by Sena-
tor Hunt. Democrat, of Wyoming.
Plans for Senate hearings are ex-
pected to be formulated after his
return to the Capital tomorrow.
District officials are expected to
push for prompt action since it
appears a legislative decision in
this case will have to be made if
there is to be a start in construc-
ton this calendar year. Both sides
to the argument over a site have
agreed there is urgent need of a
new bridge over the Anacostia.
While the House District Com
mittee and the House have backed
the East Capitol street site, Sen
ate officials said, planning officials
still are continuing their fight
against this location. They favor
a bridge on the line Of Massachu-
sets avenue southeast.

VA Reveals Details
On Construction of
New Hospital Here
Bv WiIliom J. WheotIev


The proposed So million Vet
Grams Hospital to serve the Dis
strict area is to be of steel
construction. faced with a light
brick, and trimmed with lime
stone, it was learned yesterday.
Plans are based on a type of
hospital adopted as standard
by Veterans Administrator Carl
Gray. But some changes are to
be made in the lower floor to meet
the desires of the medical staff
and depending on the amount
and extent Of medical research
contemplated.
In addition to the hospital
proper, five other buildings will be
constructed on the 39-acre tract
on the southern area of the Sol
diers' Home grounds. These will
include central heating plant, a
utilities building, a nurses home,
quarters for the attendants. q
home for the manager, and two
duplex homes for other officials
required to live on the reservation.
Much Planning Remains.
The structure is to be eight
stories high. 1t will face the open
grounds of the District waterfll-
tration plant to the south. Ex-
tending out from the front of the
building on either side of the
main entrance will be two wings
with larger central wing ending
to the north and rear of the build
ing. This structure will be on the
plot lying within the lines OF
North Capitol and First streets
NV.
Much planning remains to be
done, even though the building Is
standardized. The construction
division of the Veterans Admins
tration is pressing its operations
to bring the long delayed facili-
ties into being as quickly as pos
sible. The new hospital will sup
plant the old Mt. Alto Hospital or
Wisconsin avenue NV. However
the question as to whether the
latter institution will be closed
when the building is completed
has not been settled. This will de.
pend largely on the veteran case
load at that time.
Topographic Survey Awaited.
The first step in the construc.
ton program will be for the Gen.
eral Services Administration tt
make a topographic survey of the
entire area. including the lane
allocated for the District Medica
Center to be used for unif1catior
| of the operations of Emergency

and that for the projected centra

Work 10 Begin July
To Widen 18th From
Logan Circle 10 u

The District Highway Depart
ment plans to begin widening
Thirteenth street NV. from Logan
Circle to U street about July /.
j. M. Robertson, director of
highways, said the half mile sec
tion would be widened to A feet,
providing for four lanes of traffics
At present it is 81 feet wide, with
three lanes.
The 100000 project will add to
both sides of the street.
North of u street to Florida
avenue, the street is Sc feet wide,
and north of Florida, 1t is 40 feet
South of Logan Circle to Pennsyl-
vania avenue, 1t is 70 feet wide.
No changes in Logan Circle.
Meanwhile, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp said he be-
lieved no major changes should be
made in the physical layout o1
Logan Circle at present.
Mr.. Keneipp. whose department
has been experimenting with new
signal light arrangements at the
circle, said, 1.-The improvements
made in the movement of traffic
by re-arranging the signal CO.
ordination should be adequate for
several years."
The traffic director based his
opinion on speed checks made al
the circle by traffic engineers dur
ing the morning and afternoon
peak periods.
The slowest run, he said, wa!
timed during a rainstorm at 7:5.
am. northbound on Vermont ave.
nue.. The average speed was TX
miles per hour.
Thirteenth street is one-wa,
southbound during the morning
rush hours and one-way north.
bound during the evening rush.
Various channelization method
for Logan Circle have been con
sidered by a co-ordinating com
mittee of traffic, highway ant
planning officials.
These include cutting Thir
teenth street straight through tn
circle, which would mean remova
of the monument: cutting through
in parentheses fashion around tn
statue of Maj. Gen. John A. Lo
gan, or construction of a cut-of
channeling Thirteenth street traf
fic into Vermont avenue.
The latest suggestion is TO
slicing a little off the perimeter o
the circle. leaving it more ellipti
cal than circular.
New Trees to Be Planted.
No decisive action has beel
taken by the advisory group. TIL
highway budget estimates sent t
Congress by the District carrie,
a $4,000 item for proposed chan
nelization at the circle.
Mr.. Robertson said new tree
would be planted along the sec
ton of Thirteenth street to b
widened.
