Natural Site for a New Bridge

The Regional Highway Planning Committee
has picked natural location for a new Potomac
River bridge, but one which presents certain
problems which may not be easily solved. Not
only is the proposed site different from that sug
gested by other planners but it involves possible
conflict with conditions governing use Of Theodore
Roosevelt Island, over one end of which it would
pass. Also, financing Of the span is question for
mter1uriSdictional study.
Other considerations aside, the proposal for
new crossing along the general line of E street
to the Virginia shore between Lee and Wilson
boulevards is a natural outgrowth of the COM
mittee's origin -and-destination traffic survey.
The comprehensive study of traffic flow between
the District and Virginia showed an alarming
increase in traffic loads the Fourteenth Street,
Memorial and Key Bridges. The extraordinary
development of department-store centers in
Arlington has increased the heavy commercial
traffic between Washington and nearby Virginia,
and continuing residential expansion has added
to the bridge traffic. The new airport at Burke
is expected to complicate the situation.
BY placing new bridge approximately mid
way between the Memorial and Key Bridges
new direct route from downtown Washington to
Virginia would be opened with consequent relief
Of congestion on the existing bridges. The Vir-
gnia end would overpass the Mount Vernon
Memorial Parkway and would be connected with
Lee boulevard just beyond. The Virginia ap-
proaches presumably would be built by that
State, with some Federal aid
Whether this new bridge plan will meet with
the approval of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is uncertain. The commits
sion has favored bridge from Alexandria to
Shepherds Landing, near Blue Plains. It also has
proposed additional bridges at Nebraska avenue
near Cabin John and at Great Falls. Congress
has authorized study of all possible bridge sites
and of means for financing them The latter
phase of the study is expected to go into sugges-
tions that Virginia should share in the financing
of any new Potomac River bridge. But Virginia
can point to the fact that the District extends
to the High h-water mark on the Virginia shore and
that any project within the Districts boundary
line is strictly District responsibility The report
of the congressional study will be awaited with
great interest on both sides of the river OF equal
interest will be the decision as to the desirabiity
and legality ofsusing Theodore Roosevelt Island
as steppingstone to Virginia. That island was
dedicated to the Federal Government with cond1-
tions restricting it's use to park purposes It may
be difficult to get around these restrictions.
The haraSsed motorists who are daily victims
of the traffic jams which develop during rush
hours on the present Potomac bridges care little
how these various problems are solved-just so
something is done as soon as possible to ease
existing congestion. The Regional Highway
Planning Committee has evidenced its sympathy
by placing the street bridge project on the list
for immediate" action. It deserves top ranking

Good Man for a Tough Job

More effective enforcement of local morals"
laws should result from the headquarters squad
consolidation ordered by Police Chief Murray
The old arrangement, under which the gambling
LIQUOR, narcotics and vice groups went their
separate ways led to overlapping, confusion and
wasted manpower. Coordination OF the invesu-
cations in these oft-related fields is a reform
which may be expected to make for betterspol
work in a much criticized area of law en-
forcement
Inspector Clarence Lutz has service record
which eminently fits him for the tough job OF
co-ordinating and directing the special squads
operating independently of the Detective Bureau.
The Lutz record is one of impartial rigorous full
fillment of any mission assigned to him, how
ever difficult or unpleasant. 1t is reported
that he is intensely disliked in the underworld,
which is testimonial to his efficiency as police
officer.
Inspector Lutz will be held responsible by
Chief Murray for the Police Departments broad
program of action against professional gamblers,
narcotics peddlers illicit liquor dealers and sex
law violators It frequently happens that one
person is engaged in more than one type OF these
offenses Under the former Setup members OF
different squads sometimes found themselves
investigating the same person. Even Wnen tnese
conflicts were discovered it was routine to con-
tinue separate inquiries and make separate re-
ports Now there will be constant interchange OF
information about cases under investigation ana,
when advisable, shifts of detectives from one
squad to another. This sensible plan was
advocated by Chief Murray long before ne was
promoted to the superintendency. 1t Is reorganl-
cation which, under the energetic leadership OF
Inspector Lutz, ought to produce good results.

Truman viii be the Democratic candi-

Law on Bonuses
I had occasion recently to observe
one Of the many intricate regulations
OF the once of Salary Stahilization.
which reads as follows:
General stabilization Of salaries and
other compensation. Except as author
lied by this regulation or under apph-
cable wage and salary stabilization reg
ulations in effect at the time. no EN-
ployer shall pay any employe and no
employe shall receive salaries and other
COMPENSATION at q rate in excess Of the
rate at which such employe was COM
pensated on January Is, 1851, without
approval by the Office of Salary Stabili-
zation."
Having had close association with an
old business institution, also recently
observed q specific instance where the
above regulation caused unwarranted
interference. An employer had planned
to pay bonuses to competent employees
for their services in 1851, but he was
handicapped by the instructions quoted
above. He was discouraged. as well. to
think that his business, now over 100
years old, was to be interfered with to
such an extent. think that in this
case, as well as many others. it is very
clear that the real democratic way OF
life is being camoufaged In having such
rigid Federal controls over mans pri-
vate affairs. Observer.
