Schwartz Hits Failure
To Name Area Warden

Chief Warden Max c. Schwartz
last night raped the citizens of
the Columbia Heights area for
failing to submit a candidate for
the warden post in their area.
Speaking to the Citizens Forum
Of Columbia Heights. Mr.. Schwartz
told the group that citizens Of
the area know best the most cap
able persons in the neighborhood.
But without recommendations, he
warned. II will make q choice Of
my own"
One member, after remarking
that those present are too old to
serve, dismissed the air raid prep
arations as routine"
Mr.. Schwartz criticized this at
titude.
Americans" he said. "often
have to be smashed In the face
before they think of smashing
back. He recalled how slow citi-
zens were in responding to civil
defense plans before Pearl Har-.
Dor.
I'VE were thousands short of
our goal for wardens. Then came
December 7. And beginning that
afternoon the rush Of volunteers
was so great we were up the whole
night swearing them in. We then
found we couldn't train them fast
enough"
The association was also ad-
dressed by Thomas B. Scott,
Washington attorney and presi-
dent of the Glover Park Citizens
Association. Mr.. Scott spoke on
the proposals of the Federation
for a Milk Control Board to be
established by Congress for con-
trolling District milk prices.

Four private hospitals in the
District moved step closer to long
anticipated expansion yesterday.
President Truman signed bill
authorizing Federal grants to
match construction funds put up
by private. non-profit hospitals
Eligible are those hospitals not
included in the projected Wash

These eligible hospitals are Prov
idence. Sibley, homeopathic and
Casualty.
Officials of the four hospitals
have been busting off long delayed
construction plans since Congress
sional approval was given two
weeks ago. 1t is expected that
there will be about $12 million
from which Washington hospitals
may draw. although no specific
amount is mentioned In the legis-
lation.
Three hospitals face the neces-
sity OF launching general fund
drives If they are to qualify to get
the Federal grants. Casualty Hos

match the Federal money.
Drives Possible.
Officials at Providence, Sibley
and Homeopathic Hospitals, how
ever. said they would have to
start public fund drives for the
first time to raise their halves of
the construction costs.
In addition to the fund drive

eventually will have to pay for 25
per cent of all construction au-
thorized. One provision is that the

Over go Pei. Of Police
In City Are Honest,
Donohue Declares

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue last night defended the Metro
politan police and predicted 1.-The
few who have been faithless to
their trust" would be weeded out
Mr.. Donohue said more than SO
per cent of the policemen are
honest, capable and efficient"
and added it is amazing the de-
partment maintains such a high
standard in the view of the pitt
fully low compensation and long
hours"
The Commissioner said the in
dictment last week of two police
officers and a former officer on
gambling conspiracy charges
should not lead us to conclude
other than that we do have one
of the finest police forces in the
country
Would Weed Out "Faithless."
He said corporation between
the Federal grand jury and the
Board of Commissioners" would
succeed in wedding out the faith
less ones.
Mr.. Dpnohue said he did not
think the indictments would af-
feet recruiting of candidates for
positions on the undermanned
force.
In his weekly program on radio
station WWDC, MIR. Donohue also
predicted no new or additional
taxes would be listed on District
residents this year.
Wants Larger U. S. Payment
However. he said he thought
the Federal Government should
increase its payment to the Dis
trict. He said the Government
should pay between Is and 80
percent of the total cost of run
ming the District each year, as
an equitable repayment for SER
vices rendered by the District.
Such payment, he said, would
represent the difference between
maintaining Washington as the
most beautiful capital city in the

Rehearing Of zonine
On Adams Mill Road
SET for Wednesday

The District zoning Commission
will reconsider the zoning of prop
Ierty proposed for a large ap&<-
lment project on Adams Mill road
between Calvert street and the
Zoo at a hearing at 10 am.
Wednesday in the District Build
ing board room.
Last June. the commission re-
zoned the property to permit
leight-story instead Of five-story
buildings. It is reconsidering the
case after objection from the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Only One Access Street.
One of the chief objections of
the commission is that the big
project would have no access
street other than Adams Mill road.
The commission also will take
up another plan to permit apart
ment construction on part of the
Woodley estate. Woodley was the
home Of the late Henry L. Stim-
son. and had been the summer
home of Presidents Tyler, Van
Buren, Buchanan and Cleveland.
Last December the commission
rejected a proposal to rezone the
property on the west side of Twen-
ty-ninth street between Cleveland
and Cathedral avenues NV.
which drew strong opposition from
q group OF residents of the ex-I
elusive residential section.
De Luxe Development Planned.
Owners Edward C. Baltz, Thorn
ton w. Owen and Ned Bord
planned a de luxe type develop
ment of the property, but OPP
ponentS expressed fear the move
would detract from the desirable
character of the neighborhood, de-
press property values and bring
added traffic congestion.
The proposal now before the
commission calls for rezoning the
area on the west side of Twenty
ninth street between Cleveland
avenue and the proposed Garfield
street. A 100-foot buffer strip
would be left on Cleveland ave-
nue.. 4

northern reaches of the city and
the suburbs to work and back.
Thus the biggest project pro-
posed by the Baltimore Planning
Commission is the Jones Falls Ex-
IpressWay, a limited access sunken
highway which will run between
Druid Hill Park and the railroad
tracks to the downtown part OF
the city. It will cost SIT million.
Through-ways are held to be
the solution for big cities. but
the through-way plan ran into
difficulty in Baltimore although
Federal funds could have been
utilized.
Baltimore is proud of high per-
lcentage of home ownership. Its
council is elected from six dis
Etricts. The councilmen have been
unwilling to go along with any
plan that means tearing down
row houses. The two-story houses
with the white steps are selling for
So. 900 today and it would cost the
occupants about twice that to find
as comfortable quarters in new
construction.
Some improvements have been
made. Motorists are now routed
on the new Southwestern boule-
ward which bears to the left from
the Baltimore boulevard just past
the Calvert Distillery- buildings
This takes them to Wilkins ave-
nue. to Fulton avenue, north to
Mulberry street. a one-way street
east to Orleans street and Route
40 which leads to the Delaware
River bridge.
Spectacular Bridges.
Recently Pratt and Lombard
streets. parallel east-west streets
near the harbor have been made
one-way-Pratt east and Lom-
bard west. This will help the

with a bridge across the Middle
Branch of the Patapsco River and
a tunnel near Fort Mckinley un-
der the Northwest Branch. the
harbor entrance.
Connecting Link Planned.
But that has not even reached
1.-THE planning stage. It would be
financed with bonds guaranteed
by the income of Maryland's three
big toll bridges. the Susquehanna
Bridge on Route 40, the Potomac
Bridge at Morgantown and the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
That means that the $44 mil
lion Bay Bridge. which will not
be completed until the latter part
Iof next year. will have to prove
itself q revenue getter before
money can be raised for the route
across Baltimore Harbor.
Strangest of all, the proposed
dual highway on the Eastern
Shore between the Bay Bridge and
the new Delaware River Bridge
the highway that would bring the
traffic that would make the Bay
Bridge pay for itself-is only a
dotted line on the map.
The exasperated motorist work
ing his way through Baltimore
has always hoped for a route that
would go around the city. But
"a glance at the map win show
that is no solution.
Most Traffic Local.
Baltimore City is a larger area
than the District of Columbia.
To go around it would take one
miles out of the way. A beltway
has been propostd and completion
Iof preliminary plans for a five
mile section of it north of the
Icity near Towson was announced
in August by Baltimore County.
The proposed beltway is not
planned to be a solution of the
through traffic problem. It is to
Improve cross-county tranSporta-
Ition from a situation in which all
good roads go into Baltimore
something like the East West
highway north of Washington or
the improvement of Glebe road
Through Arlington County.
Fifteen years ago traffic engi-
lneers recommended by-passing
cities. But traffic studies have
since convinced them that high
ways through the suburbs are no
solution of big city traffic prob
lens. In population center of more
than million more than 80 per
cent of the traffic Is local. The
