Two New Stops Are Ordered
In Dupont Circle Underpdss

There will be four streetcal
stops under Dupont Circle soon
thanks to complaints the present
two aren't enough.
After an informal hearing yes.
terday, the Public Utilities Com
mission said 1t would order an
other stop northbound and one
more southbound for the time
being.
If the new order interferes with
the smooth flow of street cars
through the underpass, however,
1t will be reconsidered, Commits
sion Chairman James H. Flana-
gan said.
Meanwhile, Highway Depart
ment officials set a first-of-April
completion date on the underpass
Originally, the contract carried
a March 8 finish goal.
The contractor. however, has
had to contend with a six-week
delay caused by the carpenters
strike. and another month-and-
a-half holdup because of the
cement truck drivers tieup. high
way officials pointed out.
Rain Delays Surface Work.
Otherwise, Highway Director J.
N. Robertson said, the work would
have been completed ahead of
schedule.
Rainy weather which began
Sunday night brought surface
work to a virtual standstill during
the early part of this week, but
the building of forms under the
@ street structure across the de-
pressed roadway went on. The
steel already Is UP.
Excavation of the Connecticut
avenue roadway is now in prog
ress, and new bids for paving are
being sought, meanwhile. One set
of bids already has been opened
for the paving. but they were
considered too high, highway off,
cials said.
Designs have been changed
slightly for the new advertisement
in an effort To improve chances
for getting the paving done more
cheaply. they said.
In addition to the structures at
the north and south sections of
the circle, stone work remains to
be done on the walls of the un-
derpass, and roadways must be
constructed over the structures.
Sidewalks Being Laid.
Sidewalks are being placed be-
tween r and s streets now and
remain to be laid from Hillyer
place to the circle.
Sidewalks will be constructed in
the circle in time for the Park
Service to undertake spring plant
ing, according to the plans. Ar
|rangements now are being made
for moving the circle fountain
back to its place.
The new plan for streetcar stops
calls for one southbound between

Judge kronheim JaiIs
Two Without Bond,
Then Reverses Self

Municipal Court Judge Milton
Kronheim, jr., did a quick 1egalistic
reverse yesterday, first ordering
two defendants jailed without
bond, and then relenting a few
hours later.
The defendants were Harry L.
Burka, charged with violating
health regulations at his laundry
in the 500 block of Seventh street
Sc. and James A. Quick, %, COL
ored, Of the 5000 block of Nash
street NE, charged with disorder
ly conduct.
After finding them guilty. Judge
Kronheim first ordered the de-
fendants committed to Jail, with
out bond, for two weeks, pending
a pre-sentence investigation. He
later relented, freeing Burka under
a $50 bond and setting bail fol-
Quick at $4,000.
Considered Offenses Aggravated.
Explaining his action, Judge
Kronheim said later that he con.
sidered the offenses in each case
aggravated.
Declining to be quoted directly
Judge Kronheim pointed out tha'
the usual penalties in cases O.
health violations call for fines O.
from SIS to $40. He indicated thai
a jail sentence provides better
protection to the public than 9
fine.
Details of the laundry trial were
lacking, since Judge Kronheim
barred all spectators from the
courtroom. He said he took this
action to make a personal criti-
cism of an attorney and wished
ito avoid embarrassment for any
one. N.
The charge against the Burka s
Blue Banner Laundry showed that
inspectors had visited the place
several times between October
and December 13. In each case,
the report showed, they found the
laundry in a state of great un-
cleanliness.
Quick Guilty of Profanity.
In the disorderly conduct case,
Quick was found guilty of using
profanity to a police officer fol-
lowing his arrest early yesterday
at North Capitol street and New
York avenue.
Judge Kronheim told reporters
he jailed the defendant and later
set high bond in order to protect
the public. He said testimony at
the trial led him to believe that
more serious charges might be
brought against Quick.
Quick's lawyers, William Bryant
and Wesley S. Williams, described
the decision as arbitrary and
capricious."
The maximum sentence in cases
of disorderly conduct, they said,
is a $25 fine or an alternate jail
sentence. Quick was reported
ready to pay the fine.

mittee action on a bill to reor-
ganize the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission today
awaited reaction from nearby Vir-
ginia officials.
Representative Smith, Demo
crat, of Virginia asked that the

The bill would extend control
Of the commission to District and
Federal Government projects built
in suburban Maryland and Vir-

ciple was read into the record.

'Conferees Fail
Agree on
Hatch Act Bill
joint Group to Meet
Again Thursday
On Amendment

House and Senate conferees on
legislation to amend the Hatch
Act today failed to reach an
agreement and scheduled another
meeting for next Thursday.
The amendment would let res
idents in areas near Washington
participate in party politics. "
Senator Stennis, Democrat, of
Mississippi, chairman of the con-
ference group, denied that the
Senate Rules Committee. in re-
writing the House bill, had not
given opponents an opportunity to
testify.
He told reporters that the
amendment written into the bill
by Senate Rules subcommittee
had been discussed at open hear
ings held April % and May 8 last
year.
Opponents Protest.
st distinctly remember seeing
reports in Washington papers re-
garding these hearings" he said.
Residents of Arlington County
and some members of Congress
have protested that opponents did
not have a chance to state their
objections to a Senate amend
ment to permit Government
workers in nearby Virginia and
Maryland to engage directly in
party politics.
Predictions that the bill, if
passed, is likely to be vetoed by
the President have come from
Senator Humphrey, Democrat, of
Minnesota and Representative
Mitchell. Democrat. Of Washing
ton.
Senator Humphrey said he has
written Senator Stennis asking
that action on the bill be post
poned until he has had an oppor-
tunity to propose amendments.
Senator Humphrey said that the
section of the bill affecting resi-
dents in the nearby areas was
added without hearings or ade-
quate notice and creates prob
lens worthy Of further study"
Mr.. Mitchell said the prudent
course" in respect to this section
would be to handle 1t as a separate
bill.
Letter Quoted.
He wrote Representative Mary
T. Norton of New Jersey. chair
man of the House conferees:
THE representatives of many
citizen and Federal worker organi-
cations in the vicinity of the Dis
trict Of Columbia vigorously claim
that there are number of serious
defects and antiquities In this
section as 1t now stands"
Harley M. Williams, chairman
of the Arlington Better Govern
ment League, said his organiza-
ton is convinced that Federal
employees and the communities of
the Washington area have little
to gain and much to lose by the
proposed legislation.
He referred to the section under
attack as the Smith Byrd rider"
a reference to Senator Byrd and
Representative Smith. Democrats,
of Virginia.

With Citizens Associations

The Connecticut Avenue Citi-
izens' Association wants a branch
library for Cleveland Park-now.
What's more, the association
wants it to be a building adequate
to serve as a community center.
Nothing less will satisfy the
group which last night unani-
mously voted to appeal directly to
President Truman, the District
Commissioners and the appropri-
ate House and Senate committees.
Requests for funds to build this
and two other branches were
struck from the budget before the
Commissioners sent it to Congress.
David Rankin Barbee, chair
man of the groups library COM
mittee, introduced a resolution de-
manding funds for the library,
which got the rousing support of
the membership. He also was crit
ical of the design that has been
drawn for the project when funds
are available.
"The city architect has drawn
plans for a one-story library with
no community facilities for Cleve-
land Park" the resolution read.
"If this plan goes through it will
be breach of promise of the Dis
trict Commissioners"
When the central Public Library
was founded in 1903, Mr.. Barbee
said, Cleveland Park was assured
1t would have a branch very soon.
In 1914, community groups in
the area, headed by this associa-
ton, he continued. raised $50, 600
to buy lot. "since nothing was
done by the Commissioners in the
IL intervening years"
The group agreed with Mr..
Barbee that a one-story building
would be far from adequate. The
figure pronounced as sufficient for
the purpose last night was $780,
900, for which the group will petit
tion Congress.
Frederick M. Bradley, attorney
and treasurer of the Washington
Medical Center Board of Direc-
tors, told the group about plans
for medical center at Observa-
tory Circle.
Building on the center probably
will not be started for 10 months,
he said. Even that date is con-
tingent on the Navy getting ap-
preparations to move the Observa-
tory to Charlottesville. Va, he ex-
planned.
The meeting was held at All
Souls Memorial Church, Woodley
place and Cathedral avenue NV,
and was conducted by Ganson
Purcell, president.
