100000 Asked
TO Begin Plans
For New Bridge
Highway Department
Gives Commissioners
$12.5 Million BUDGET

The Districts Highway Depart
ment wants to start blueprinting
a new Potomac bridge next year.
A 100000 item for preparing
the plans is in next years pro-
posed highway budget. The $12.5
million budget was made public
today by the Commissioners, who
haven't yet worked it over.
The bridge could be the one
proposed for e street NV, cross
ing Roosevelt Island to Arlington.
No site has been approved, how
ever, and there are several other
possibilities.
Funds for continuing the East
Capitol Street Bridge also are in
the requested budget. So are funds
for planning the Southwest free
way. with a short bridge across
Washington Channel. and for
building a Kenilworth avenue
Deane avenue NE. overpass tying
with the East Capitol project.
So Million Higher.
Proposed capital spending totals
81 ,906, 900. Highway maintenance
and operating estimates are ST.
Oil, 900. The sum listed for the
Department of Vehicles and Traf-
f1c is 1888, 900 and that for trees
and parking is 1854, 300 for a high
way grand total of $12.52O,8 800.
This is little more than SO mil
lion above the current years total.
The two bridge projects, the
Southwest freeway and the Kenil-
worth overpass all are Federal aid
projects, in which half the cost
is paid by the Federal Govern
ment. Therefore the 5000 1000
asked in District funds would be
matched to provide $400 900 for
the Potomac bridge planning.
The site problem is being
studied by several agencies and
is expected to be decided by the
time the funds could become
available next July.
For Freeway Planning.
Another 100000 sum, likewise
to match Federal funds, is asked
for planning the freeway, which
is being co-ordinated with the
Southwest redevelopment pro-
gram.
For the East Capitol street
bridge. now getting under way,
the sum asked is $3.6 million. The
Commissioners also have been
asked to get the legal limit on
the cost Of this project lifted to
SIG million. The original estimate
was 81 million cheaper. but infla-
ton and other factors have raised
the cost.
The bridge won't be finished be-
fore 1855, it's expected now.
For the Kenilworth avenue over
pass, a step in developing a con-
nection between the new bridge
and the Baltimore Washington
parkway. the amount asked is 81
million.
Hope for Borrowing Plan.
Highway officials hope the Dis
trict will work out a borrowing
program so other major projects
from the $240 million 10-year road
program can be started as soon
as possible. The new budget re-
quest doesn't make much of dent
in that program.
In addition to the Federal air
projects. another $2.140,000 is be-
ing asked for normal street i'm
provements and extensions, in
cluding paving and channelization
Among special projects is a
81 900 item for new traffic signals
and controls at Union Station
Plaza. And Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp is seeking $4,000 fol-
planning an operations building to
replace the present one.

representative items were taken
from such a list. They were used

Of Railroad
Strike
BY sTERLIN r. GREEN

WASHINGTON uB - President
Truman said today (A) he Is sure
of his power to seize industries In
an emergency. (B) he likes all
the men who have come out for
the Democratic nomination for
President, and (C) he believes the
government cleanup will take care
of itself under his new attorney
general.
Mr.. Truman, in a far-ranging
news conference, also said he
doesn't know whether Gov. Adlai
Stevenson of Illinois might be per-
suaded to seek or accept the Dem.
ocratic nomination.
Politics took second place in the
discussion. The conference was
highlighted by the Presidents
statement that he has power to
seize industries in time of national
emergency. Nobody-and he in
cluded both Congress and the
courts-can take that power away.
he said.
But when pressed by questions
! on what he would do If the Supreme
Court specifically denies his au-
thority to seize and operate the
steel industry. the President said
he would turn the mills back 10
their arrangements.
He added. however, that he did
not believe the court would do that.
In the best of humor. the Presi-
dent smilingly parted questions
from reporters who said they we're
trying to reconcile his reassertlon
OF inherent" presidential powers
with his willingness 10 yield on the

It illegal. AS for Legislation out

trying, ever since he entered the
White House, 10 get an industrial

possible real collective bargaining.
The law, he said. must provide
some method OF keeping the coun-

threats 10 the nations welfare.
The President said he did not
know whether seizure authority
was the only way Of accomplish
ing this. There is some way. GER

R|DGWAY HINTS COMMUNISTS MAY Use
GERM GAS WARFARE AGAINST AMERICA
Tells Congress
That He Nears
His European job
With Confidence
BY FRANK o'BRIEN

WASHINGTON R - Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway told Congress
today Communist germ and gas
warfare charges against the United
Nations in Korea are "a monu-
mental warning as menacing
and urgent as a forest fire bearing
down on a wooden village"
Ridgway branded the charges
false in their entirety"
The former commander of
United Nations Far Eastern forces
was not more explicit in his warn
ing. But he appeared to be thinking
along the lines of a recent state
ment by Secretary of Defense Low
EFT that Communists charge others
with crimes they mean to commit.
Ridgway is here en- route to take
over the Allied command in Eu-
rope being relinquished by Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
He gave Congress dramatic
account of how the Eighth Army
in Korea, only three days under
his command. repulsed an attempt
by the Chinese and North Koreans
10 knock it out after a long retreat,
and rose again on the offensive
in less than a month.
He spoke at length of the armi-
stice negotiations, which he called
mo failure" despite the lack of a
cease fire.
Ridgway said he approaches his
new job in Europe with high con-
fidence.
He made no mention in his pre-
pared text of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur whom he succeeded to the
Far Eastern Command when Mac
Arthur was fired by President Tru-
man, or of his own successor in
the Orient, Gen. Mark Clark. He
likewise said nothing about the
controversy surrounding the cap
ture and subsequent release Gen.
Francis T. Dodd by Communist
prisoners of war at the camp Dodd
commanded. But he gave high
praise TO Gen. James Van Fleet,
commander of the Eighth Army in
Korea.
, Ridgway reserved the gravest
language of his speech for his
warning about Communist germ
and gas warfare propaganda
charges. He said:
81 wish to reiterate what I have
repeatedly stated publicly, that
these allegations are false in their
entirety; that no element of the
United Nations Command has en-
pioyed either germ or gas warfare
in any form at any time.
In the whole black record OF
false propa ganda, these charges
/ should stand out as a monumental
