Agree on Need
Of Bridges
Jones Point Is Only
Site Yet Selected;
Hope to Avoid Fight

The National Capital Regiona,
Planning Commission has come tc
an agreement on the need fol
two new bridges across the Poto.
mac River and may be able tc
stall off a new battle of the
bridges"
The council met yesterday and
urged immediate construction of
i. A bridge across the Potomac
River at Jones Point. This bridge
would give Washington another
connection with Alexandria and
tie in with circumferential high
ways planned for the District.
2. A bridge somewhere between
the present Memorial Bridge and
Key Bridge to give relief to those
two spans.
The council did not give either
bridge priority over the other.
Both are needed Immediately, the
resolutions said. The Jones Point
bridge was approved unanimously
while the central bridge had one
dissenting vote.
Proposed Site Not Approved.
E street has been recommended
as the site of the central bridge
by an engineering firm retained by
the District Commissioners. But
this site was not approved by the
council and the matter will be
given further study.

Democrats in Virginia
Pick Thomas BIanton
AS Party Chairman
BY a Stoff Correspondent Of The Stor

RICHMOND, Dec. 2.-Virginia
Democrats, recently divided in the
national presidential contest. had
a new chairman today who had
said he was going to vote for Gov.
stevenson for President and let it
go at that.
He is State Senator Thomas II.
IBlanton of Bowling Green, who
neither actively campaigned for
the Illinois Governor, as Gov.
Battle did. nor withdrew his sup
port as did Senator Byrd and for
mer Gov. Tuck.
The 57-year-old lawyer, banker
and farmer succeeded Richmond's S
former Mayor, T. Nelson Parker,
as Democratic chairman at a
State Central Committee meeting
yesterday, Senator Blanton made
an immediate bid to heal the
wounds created by the recent ma
tional campaign.
"As I mellow with age" he said
in an acceptance speech, II am
more firmly convinced that toler-
ance is a prime virtue. It seems
to me that the less each of us
has to say about our differences
in the recent past the better it
will be for all of us. We should
try to recover our losses, retain
our gains and unite our forces in
the interest Of a stronger and bet
ter party in Virginia"
Gen. Eisenhower carried the
State and three Republicans won
seats in the House Of Representa-
tives.
Gov. Battle, who had actively
campaigned for Gov. Stevenson,
commented: ut was a very excel
lent statement. I'll go along with
it 100 per cent"
Mr.. Parker had been named
acting chairman last fall when
former Gov. Tuck resigned and

resigned yesterday after having
led the Illinois Governors cam
pafgn in Virginia.

luton commencing MIR. Parker fol
the splendid manner" in which
he had conducted the State cam.
paign. It buried in q Resolutions
Committee another measure which
could have brought the Democrats
for Eisenhower issue out into the
open.
Mr.. Parker reported the Ste
venson campaign in Virginia cost
$21,153.80. He said, II have nc
regrets on the campaign with the
possible exception that we weren't
more successful"
The committee is almost entirely
made up of party leaders loyal to
the organization of Senator Byrd
who turned his back on Gov. Ste
venson in the campaign.
