KeniIworth Ave.
To Become Link
In Expressway
Section Will Connect
Rood to Proposed
East Capitol Bridge

Kenilworth avenue will become
a limited-access, six-lane, divided
highway. to connect the Balti-
more Washington expressway
with the new East Capitol street
bridge, under District plans re-
vealed today.
Deputy Director of Highways
Samuel r. Harrison said the plans
are expected to be laid before
the District Commissioners about
February /. About mid January,
a preliminary program for the
bridge and its approaches is due
from the Districts engineering
consulting firm, J. E.. Greiner Co.
Mr.. Harrison said the exact To-
cation of the new bridge remains
to be decided. Many of the
streets now feeding into Kenil-
worth avenue will be shut off, un-
der present plans, Mr.. Harrison
declared. Only six or eight ac-
cess points will feed into the ave-
nue. between the District line and
Benning road, he explained.
StOplights Will Be Used.
Parallel to Kenilworth avenue,
service road facilities will be con-
structed, the deputy director
pointed out, so that traffic can be
brought to the access points. Stop
lights at these points will bar
Kenilworth avenue from becom-
ing a high-Speed uninterrupted
thoroughfare.
At present there are no plans
to continue Kenilworth avenue to
connect with Anacostia Park at
Pennsylvania avenue, Mr.. Harri-
son said. Plans are in the making
to extend the avenue to connect
with the approach highways to
the projected bridge across the
Potomac River to Alexandria.
Just beyond the District line
plans call for construction of
cloverleaf traffic interchange to
get traffic on and off the Balti-
more Washington Expressway.
The Annapolis Washington Ex-
pressway, now under construction
also, is expected to end in this
cloverleaf.
Other Streets to Be Widened.
Traffic from these expressways
would be brought downtown
along a widened Constitution or
Independence avenue. under ulti-
mate District plans, Mr.. Harrison
declared.
Under the new program, Kenil-
worth avenue will be extended
south of Benning road to give
access to the new East Capitol
street bridge. Extension of New
York avenue NE, from Bladens-
burg road to the planned clover
leaf interchange will afford an
other traffic artery to connect with
the Baltimore and Annapolis
Expressways, under current plans.
In Baltimore, construction is
underway to take Expressway traf-

The open house on New Years
Day. as many remember. was one
that survived even World War I
and continued into the admins
tration of Herbert Hoover. At
the meetings of the Association
of the Oldest Inhabitants of the
District of Columbia it is occa-
sionally proposed that the Presi-

custom. The Oldest Inhabitants
used to go in a body and there
were those among them who could
brag that they had shaken hands
with more than five Presidents,
The proposal is always withdrawn
when wiser counsel assures the
optimists that the custom will
never be resumed.

Although the White House is

the President himself was at his
own home half a continent away,
the people focked to the White

That Christmas Recalled.
Mr.. Churchill tells about that
Christmas visit at the White House
in the third volume of his war
memoirs-how the President al
ways punctiliously mixed the
cocktails and how Mr.. Churchill
always made a point of wheeling
the President in his chair to the
elevator as a mark of respect;
how they attended Christmas serv-
ices at Foundry Methodist Church,
where Mr.. Churchill for the first
time heard the hymn, 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem"
That Christmas was the only
one in which a President was at
the White House in recent years.
Franklin D. Roosevelt spent his
other Christmases at Hyde Park.
Mr.. Truman has always gone to
independence. Except for 1941,
one has to go back to the Hoover
and Coolidge administrations for
a Christmas with the President
present.
There were children on hand
for the White House Christmas
parties in the Theodore Roose-
velt days; babies during the Sec

coin there is little mention of
Christmas at the White House.
