BOSTON, Jan. 31.-Members of
the Japanese Diet who came to
Boston to learn about democracy
and were snubbed by the Boston
City Council-got a better welcome
today from the Massachusetts,
Legislature.

State Department representatives,
the group toured the State House

Three of them visited the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, which was
hearing bills which propose modi-

The proposed bills would allow
juries to return verdicts of guilty

D. T.. Commissioners
Rebuke Park Board
For Bridge Views
Planners Are Reminded
They Do Not Assign
Priorities for Projects

The Commissioner sent a stern
letter of rebuke to the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission today for its recent Ana
costial River bridge resolution.
The planners ruled last Thurs
day that no further consideration
should be given to new bridges
over the Anacostia until provision
has been made to clear up bottle
necks around the present crossings.
At the same time, the planning
board rejected the Commissioners
plan to build bridge along the
line of East Capitol street and
took no action on the proposal of
its own staff for a bridge at Mas
sachusetts avenue.
Perplexed and Dismayed.
"The assigning of priorities to
improvements" the Commission
ers told William w. Wurster,
planning commission chairman,
"is not field in which your
commission has customarily inter-
vened.
Nor is it a question which any
one can decide hastily on the
basis of one particular local prob
lem and without considering the
needs of the rest of the District
and the money available to meet
them"
The Commissioners said they
were "both perplexed and dis
mayed" by the resolution calling
for elimination of bottlenecks
around the Benning, Sousa and
Anacostia bridges.
Called Complete Reversal"
They called it a complete re-
versal of your previous attitude"
made without specifying, or even
inquiring, precisely what these
bottlenecks are. how much they
would cost to correct, what in
creases of bridge capacities the
correction would accomplish, how
long it Would take, how far into
the future it would meet the de-
mands of trans-Anacostia traffic,
or how the immediate commitment
| of large sums to this work would
fit in with a systematic District
program Of highway construction
in the next few years"
The Commissioners pointed out
they are responsible to Congress
and to District citizens for spend
ing the limited highway funds in
an orderly sequence based on
careful studies and forecasts and
In such a way that present and
future needs will be met on a
rational priority.
"The question of the relative
merits of the East Capitol and
Massachusetts, bridge sites, of
course, comes within your Com
missions purview," they wrote.
