Poll Fail to Name
Their Congressman
By the Associated Press

ROANOKE. Va. Oct. 27.-sixty
per cent of Roanoke citizens
polled this week on who is the
representative in Congress from
the sixth Virginia district" didn't
know the correct answer.
With no attempt to canvass the
city at large. five World News re-
porters confronted more than 200
persons at random with the query
and found the average man-in-
the-street doesn't know that Clar-
ence G. Burton. of Lynchburg is
the man.
Some said What is the Sixth
District?" Some declared fatty.
II don't know his name" and
some attempted to guess.
The stock bad guess was "Rob-
ertson," with no distinguishing
between Ernest, Robertson. Roa-
noke County delegate to the State
Legislature, or A. Willis Robert
son, Junior United States Senator
from Virginia to Congress.
Where is Cliff Woodrum
now?" one person wanted to know
while some others offered the
name of Republican State Sena-
tor Ted Dalton, Senator Harry F.
Byrd and State Senator Earl A.
Fitzpatrick.

built for the adopted orphan.
But Bambi doesn't live in it yet.
1--WE figure she'll be house
broken by the time winter comes
and then she'll move in," he
explained.
Meanwhile, Bambi will con-
tinue to be spoiled.
why she won't even eat any,
MORE unless one of the girls
hdlds her food up to her mouth
in a dish." Capt. Anderson
marveled.
The only way the jail's girls
will ever part with Bambi, he
said. is if she gets so big she
hurts one of them. Then,
Bambi will be turned over to
the Zoo.
Bambi has done a lot for those
girls and she's learned to love
them as they love her.
When the play period is over.
she always follows them to the
door and, the captain says, you
can hear her whine a little as
the last one goes inside.

was $35.
The board also increased from
$62 a month to $40 the rates
paid for convalescent care OF
children and for the older, de-
pendent and delinquent child
The increases were made possible
by a new S150,000 congressional
appropriation.
Gerald M. Shea, director of the
Department of Public Welfare, re-
ported to the board that the de-
partment is making headway
slowly in eliminating the backlog
of relief cases. It generally takes
about four weeks from the time
a person applies for relief until
he actually gets it.
In September, the total pay
ments to those on public assist
ance amounted to $451 ,23l-an
increase of 141a per cent over
those in the same month last
year. OF this amount, $3.50 ,493
was contributed by the District,
while the Federal share was $22O,-
1888. The average payment per
person was $500.
The board heard that the aver
age number of children at the
Industrial Home School for Col
ored Children is now 1853. while
at this time last year it was 1879
1t was explained that the increase
has come about partly because of
the number of delinquent children
sent there by the Juvenile Court
for indefinite commitment. The

3 Sites Studied
For New Span
Across Potomac
D. c., Virginia Survey
Traffic to Determine
Area Most in Need

Sites at the foot of Constitution
avenue and at Nebraska avenue
Fare being considered, along with
Shepherds Landing as possible
locations for a new Potomac River
bridge. Engineer Commissioner
Bernard L. Robinson has reported.
The District has entered into a
|co-operative survey with Virginia
and the Bureau of Public Roads
OF the Federal Government to
study the need for a bridge at
Shepherds Landing or other sites.
The Shepherds Landing site
would take the crossing to Alex
andria. An extension of Constitu-
tion avenue would pus the bridge
over Georgetown Channel, be-
tween Memorial and Key Bridges,
and the Nebraska avenue site lies
between Chain and Key Bridges.
Highway Spans Important.
Gen. Robinson said yesterday
that from the traffic standpoint,
the most important of the Poto-
mac River spans are the highway
bridges.
In connection with planning of
the second of these crossings, he
noted, engineers estimated that
the total traffic crossing at this
point on an average weekday
would reach 100000 vehicles by
1865.
But. he said. lot, 900 cars were
counted on the twin bridges dur
ing an average 24-hour weekday
in September, 1851, about a year
and a half after completion of
the east bridge-still IA years
short of the projection year.
Total Is Over 10000.
Gen. Robinson reported also
that the total Potomac River
bridge traffic today, counted on
Highway, Memorial, Key and
Chain Bridges. is more than
| I209, 900.
He noted that highway plan
ners now are in process of for
mulating an arterial plan for ex-
pressways. freeways and other
types of major thoroughfares to
connect the nearby Maryland and
Virginia communities with down.
town Washington and to provide
Icross-country connections as well.
Gen. Robinson spoke before the
Virginia Society of Professional
Engineers last night in the George
Mason Hotel in Alexandria.
