Device For
Neur-B Blind

The Rev. Thomas J. Carroll,
director Of the Catholic Guild for
the Blind, has presented to the
Boston Public Library new
magnifer, called the magascope,
which will enable many par
tially-sighted persons to read
ordinary newspaper print.
Father Carroll said that one Of
the reasons for choosing the Lii
brary was because he felt that
many partially-sighted persons
feel hesitant about visiting an
organization for the blind or for
other specialized groups. He also
felt that the Library was easily
accessible to everyone and be-
cause it is important that the
megascope be near a source OF
reading materials.

vance of the national Democratic

Thursday by the Legislature,
would have the effect of moving
the August primary date up toI

nounce" before the filing deadline

amended his statement to say
that he would announce my in
tention" before the deadline.

By John W. Stepp

District highway authorities to-
day were well into program Of
acquainting the public with the
newly proposed 10-year moderni-
cation plan for the city,S overs
strained road system.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robinson,
Commissioner, who SUBJ
mitted the plan last Thursday.
said he intends to ask his fellow
Commissioners to indorSe the
program formally, In principle.
Commissioners John Russell
Young and F. Joseph Donohue
already have tacitly approved the
$40 million redevelopment by
Gen. Robinson's rec
ommendation for a 1-cent per
gallon gas tax increase to finance
the plan IN part.
But Gen. Robinson said today
he feels official approval by; the
Commissioners would give the
plan greater weight.
Report Only the First Step.
The Engineer Commissioners
report to the washington Board
of Trade last Thursday was only
the first step toward educating"
the public on the extent and pur-
poses Of the plan.
So far. his original report has
been transcribed and broadcast,
and Gen. Robinson has scheduled
appearances with District High
way Director John N Robertson,
before the American Automobile
Association at 1890 pm. Tues
day, in the Mayflower Hotel and,
before the Keystone Automobile
Club on February 10 in the Shore
ham Hotel.
Mr.. Robertson also has been
asked to discuss the plan at an-as-
yet tnscheduled meeting of the
Washington engineers next
month.
Scores Of Inquiries.
The highway director said today
his Office has received scores Of
inquiries and requests for copies

tive advice. No adverse criticism,
yet"
Mr.. Robertson also disclosed

port on locations where q Po-
tomac bridge would best serve the
District and Virginia.
Calls for New River Crossing.
The highway plan released
Thursday calls for a river crossing
between. E street NV. and the
vicinity Of Lee boulevard on the
Virginia side. This Is entirely
aside from the construction Of q
new span to replace the old Four
teenth Street Bridge, which re-
placement is a foregone conclusion
in the eyes Of District planners.
who figure the old cantilever span
has only 10 more years Of life.
On the other hand, the National
Capital Park and Planning Conn
mission has urged crossings from
the foot of Nebraska avenue ex-
tended to Virginia and from
