BottIeneck Problem
Tossed Back 10 County
In Planning Impasse
Bv Nelson M. Shepords


Federal planners revealed today
they have washed their hands of
a three-month impasse over ways
to break certain bottlenecks in
the Silver Spring area by tossing
this hot potato back into the laps
Of Montgomery County officials.
The break was brought to a
head by a petition filed with the
District by the Blair Management
Corp, which wants to build on its
property'in the tip of the northern
corner of the District on the west
side of Sixteenth street. The Pc
tition asked for certain street
changes on the plat looking to
preparation of plans for a sub
division.
Approval of the petition by the
District Highway Department and
the Federal planning agency
would knock out a Montgomery
County proposal to divert East
West highway traffic to Sixteenth
street and Colesville road by TAX
ing a short cut through the Blair
portal, as it is known. In months
past, Federal planners took sides
with District officials in opposing
this suggestion, which was in
tended to eliminate the bend in
the East-West highway as it en-
ters Colesville road some distance
east of Sixteenth street.
Called for Underpass.
District officials, at the time,
said it would necessitate an under
pass at the Sixteenth street inter-
section and was inadvisable to
make this expenditure merely to
channel more traffic into Coles
vile road. This, they said, would
create an even greater bottleneck
at Colesville road and Georgia
avenue than now exists.
In deciding to team up with
the District Highway Department
at the February meeting, if Dis
trict officials meanwhile approve
the Blair Corps petition, the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission saw a clear way
out of its difficulties.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son, Engineer Commissioner,
yesterday informed NCPPC he is
in favor of the Blair petition and
that the Highway Department
feels the Maryland proposal for
q short cut to Sixteenth street
would impose an unnecessary and
costly highway project on the
District. NCPPC. thereupon,
voted to notify the District Com
missioners that, if they approve
the petition, the planning agency
will look with favor on it at the
next meeting.
In deciding to leave the general
traffic problems of the area up to
Montgomery County officials,
NCPPC indicated a strong hope
that they will see a way clear to
reroute East-West highway traffic

lnorthward to bypass the congested
Silver Spring business district.
One reason for the impaSSe was
ljust such counter proposal from
the Federal Planning Agency, sug-
Igested diversion of traffic from
the Colesyille road and Georgia
lavenue hottleneek. It proposed,
lat the December meeting, that
Montgomery officials study the
possibility of a new highway to
connect the East-West highway at
the northern corner of the Dis
trict with the Colesville road via
Anson and Spring streets. In this
way it would divert traffic beyond
Silver Spring.
This proposal had the support
of the Traffic Committee of the
Silver Spring Board Of Trade and
of the Montgomery County Civic
Federation.
Another troublesome problem
was easily disposed of yesterday
by the Planning Commission This
was the proposed extension Of
IWoodley road NV. across the for
imer Woodley estate. Based on
new information supplied, the
commission had no alternative ex-
Icept to vote for elimination of this
proposed straight-line extension
from Twenty ninth street to
Thirty first street.
Curved Route Approved.
| Instead a curved route through
the wooded estate was approved
to connect Woodley road at Twen-
| ty-ninth street with Garfield
street. This would necessitate less
destruction of trees. it was be-
|lieved, and interfere less with
building. The curved road would
be so feet wide, with 15-foot
building setback on each side.
The commissions attention had
been called to a so-called minor
street law which would permit the
District to accept certain dedlca-
Itions of streets at locations lying
between highway-plan streets and
not in conflict with them. Since
these dedications had been made,
acceptance would obviate the need
Iof the Woodley road extension as
previously located on the highway
plan. In effect, yesterdays action
closes the street from Twenty
ninth to Thirty first street.
A. third hurdle was taken when
the commission approved revised
plans for the access ramp in con-
nection with the East Capitol
street bridge. The ramp would
connect East Capitol street with
|B street Sc, at the Minnesota
avenue interchange. Original
plans were revised to minimize
damage to Fort Dupont dwelling
units, through which the access
road would extend.
"This is the final problem in
volving the bridge" the commits
sion announced. "All that is need
led now is the money to build it. "
Approval also was given for a
39-unit public housing project on
the north side of East Capitol
street at fty-eighth street. 1t
is the proposed East Capitol Street
jewellers project of the National
Capital Housing Authority. Most
Iof the units would be two-story
Isem!detached, with a few three
story apartment buildings In the
rear.

Costello is right now" replied
Bud Abbott. But I get my innings
next" s.. ..
The purpose Of my inquiry was
not to get into the baseball routine
Of Abbott and Costello. but to find
out which one was the boss. That
lis sometimes as confusing is the
who's on first?" merry-go-round,
since the comedy team has perhaps
the most unusual business set-up
in the entertainment world.
Right now Lou Costello. the ro-
Itund funnyman of the pair, is the
boss. He and Bud, the straight
man, are finishing up rs half-houl
TV shows which Lou Is producing
for NBC. Lou will own the rights
to this enterprise.
But on February ~, Bud takes
over. He is producing a movie
called Abbott and Costello Meet
Captain Kidd" with Charles
|Laughton in the role of the famed
sea captain. Last summer, A. and
C. made a picture called "Jack
and the Beanstalk. That was one
lof LOUIS productions.
The boys have three more pic.
lures to make for their home lot
IU-I. (They take so per cent Of the
profits of those films, 80 for Lou
I20 for Bud) After their studio
contract Is over, they intend to
work only for themselves.
II see no reason why we
shouldn't just make pictures fol-
ourselves" Bud told me. III
should work out very well. I dc
a picture for Lou. and then he
does q picture for me. That would
make everything even Steven"
Abbott and Costello, already
among the highest-paid Holly
wood performers, stand to make
vast amounts of money while pro-
ducing for themselves. Good, ba6
or Indifferent, their pictures al
ways reap healthy profit. Some
of the films have been sensational
Buck Privates," which cost $3.50,
600, brought In S. million, Buo
reported. The average profit is
50 million.
Besides their many film enter
lprises and the .TV Aim series. the
comics intend to continue theil
periodic appearances on the TV
COMEDY Hour" They work on 8
straight-salary basis, and it's just
about the hardest work they do
But Bud argues that it's worth
the trouble, since the show reaches
q vast audience and can make
them new friends.
Considering all these opera.
tions, I asked If the boys didn't
fear they would run out Of mate
rial.
Never" Bud replied datly
''The experts say there are only
about o dozen basic comedy situa.
Itions. But the variations are in
lnumerable. You can use the
same joke over and over again
merely BY putting little switch
lon It.
Besides, I never have worried
about material. When ] was witt

land a half hours Of comedy every
week for five years! II the SHOW
wasn't funny enough after tht

Abbott is content to remain II
the position of straight man.

lis that the straight man wants II
lget some laughs" he said. :"
don't want laughs. My job is Il

lway I can. When ] 60 around tn

Anchorage Nome Highway Gets
 Support of ARC

ANCHORAGE, May 20 - Con- struction of highway from An chcrage to Nome has the support !. of the Alaska Road Commission, the Chamber of Commerce was told yesterday.
 A. O. Holly, chairman of the road committee, said that corre- spondence with A. F. Ghiglione, ARC chief, indicated that the project is included in the thinking of the commission.
 Estimates indicate the road to Nome will cost $4O,OO0,000," Hol- } ly said. "But the first part of 1t will cost only $l4,000,O0O. It would go from Anchorage to the KuSkokwim.'
 The road project is one of the main items on the calendar of the Chamber. Briefs are being prepared showing the economic Justification for 1t, topography and other information.
 The highway would open the Susitna and Yenta River Valleys for agricultural development, af- fording the city vast new ex- pansion area across, Knik Arm.
 It would go through Rainy Pass in one of the most scenic areas of rugged mountains and pictur- esque valleys. West of the range it would connect with the Kusko- kwim road system and one of the mining areas of the interior.
 The course of the road would , be from Anchorage to Willow, Susitna, Takotna, MacGrath, and hence, north to Nome.

Nehru Lashes Comm nnunism
 But Decries War

NEW DELHI, India, (P)-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru lashed out bitterly Thursday at Commu- independently in India-but said it would not be defeated by war.
 India, he asserted, twill never pay the price the Soviet Union and China have paid to achieve progress"
 Referring briefly to the inter national situation, the premier said, Gold war leads to a shoot ing war and almost as bad - it coarsens and degrades humanity"
 He added, >"It passes my com prehension how some people who dislike Communism and make it an enemy can put an end to Com munism by war. War only leads to overall, large-scale, wholesale destruction and anarchy and it is not right for us, both as indi- viduals and as a nation, to follow path which leads to internation- al vulgarity."
 He bitterly attacked the 27- member Communist bloc in par liament, labelling Red arguments in the three-day debate as "slo- gans and doctrines which are completely out of date"
 "They are rigid like the old bigots of religion" Nehru said. "I have refused to bow down to the bigots of any religion, and l refuse to bow down to the bigots of this new religion"

Predict Ike Supporters Outnumber Taft Aherents At Alaska Convention

ANCHORAGE, (P) = T h e spokesman for the Eisenhower for-President group in the An chorage area predicted Thursday that supporters of the general will outnumber adherents of Sen. Taft and Albert White at the Alaska Republican convention in Cor dova June 6.
 J. C. Morris, who has taken the lead in a move here against Whites leadership of the party in Alaska, also predicted that the convention will favor taking party control away from White in hope of establishing representa- tive principles" White is a Taft supporter.
 After Morris original anti White blast last week, White re- torted at Juneau:
 "The strange part of this is that Morris gave his proxy to me to be voted for just the things he is now criticizing. He was considered for national committeeman but didn't get the job, and this is no doubt the reason for his com plaints."
 Morris contended that any talk of the delegation going to the na- tional convention uninstructed means nothing" because "they all are known to be Taft men,"

Russia Charges US. Aid to Iran Violates 1921 Pact

MOSCOW, {P - The Soviet Union charged formally Friday that Iranian acceptance of Ameri- can military aid violates a 1921 Soviet -Iranian friendship treaty. That treaty would permit Russia to send troops into Iran if Iranian soil is used by foreign military forces hostile to the Soviet Union. The Kremlin made its protest in a note delivered by Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky to the .Iranian ambassador here. It accused Iran, a Russian neighbor on the south, of cooperating with the US. government in the inn plementation of the latter's ag- gressive plans against the Soviet Union"
 The American aid to Iran was cut off last January when Iran refused to sign an agreement pledging to help increase "the de- fensive strength of the free world"
 American military aid to Iran was ordered resumed a month ago after an exchange of notes be- tween the US. and Iranian gov ernments.
 The Soviet note said that by accepting US. help, "the Iranian army loses its character as a na- tional army of an independent sovereign state" and is being put under control of the United States government" In Washington a US. official said the Russian protest evidently was designed to intimidate the Iranian government. He said the Tehran government had been un- der heavy Soviet pressure before and is not expected to give in this time.

Union Members Refuse
 To Sign Aboard Three Alaska SS Co. Vessels

SEATTLE, (P) - Members of two AFL unions refused Thursday and Friday to sign aboard three ships of the Alaska Steamship CO.
 The ships are the Aleutian and Coastal Monarch, scheduled to sail Friday for Alaska, and the Victoria, due to leave Saturday.
 Officials contended the com pany is not following out re- cent NLRB order and is hiring a proportionately greater number than it should of the rival Inde- pendent Marine Cooks and Stew ards Union.
 Charles Nichols, Seattle port agent of the Independent Marine Cooks and Stewards Union, said the company had hired 46 mem bers of his union and 26 AFL members.
