This action has been taken
because we are opposed to CO.

organization whose principal
program involves a practice
gravely contrary to the law of
Almighty God"
Catholic doctrine condemns
artificial birth control. The
planned parenthood centers IA

AS to the contention it is con-

District Asks Ruling
On Erecting Bridge
OVerRooseVeItIsIand

The District Commissioners
have asked Corporation Counsel
Vernon West for an opinion on
the legal ramifications of a
Potomac River bridge that would
pass ,over Theodore Roosevelt
Island.
The island, midway between
Memorial and Key Bridges near
the Virginia shore. lies in the
path Of the proposed span lead
ing from E street NV. to join
Arlington boulevard across the
river.
Action Awaits Ruling.
The city heads met yesterday
to decide whether to ask Congress
to approve the E street bridge,
but they held up a decision until
Mr.. West advises them as to
whether such a recommendation
would involve any violation Of
law.
Members of the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association. which gave
the island in 1882 to the Federal
Government for development as
q wild-life sanctuary. made a
vigorous protest against the
bridge plan earlier this week.
They noted that. under the 1882
agree e n t. the Government
could not develop the island
without the associations ap-
proval.
Deny Development Involved.
Highway Department officials,
however, argue that a bridge
passing over the island would
not constitute development Of
1t. At most. they say, the project
would involve a couple of bridge
supports on the island.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Louis w. PrentisS strongly
favors the E street span. Moves
toward getting the proposal to
Capitol Hill were made this
week. after a years battle to get
approval from the National Cap
ital Planning Commission failed.
The District budget reported
by the House yesterday gave
highway officials 100000 to
begin planning for a new cen
trail area" bridge. While the E
street crossing was not men
toned by name, highway officials
urged its need during budget
hearings.

100 Ships Still Aid
Reds, Mundt Reports;
Many Called British
BY the ASSociutsd Press

Inc 0eIlaCe Investigations SUD-
committees acting chairman
says it has information that 100
ships, many British-owned, are
still carrying strategic supplies
to the Communist troops in
Korea"
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota, commented also
that it might be a very happy
thought. to write into foreign
aid legislation ban against Civ
ing funds to countries partici-
pating in such trade.
He said the committee was
preparing "a list of about 100
ships. foreign-owned. many Of
them. also, unhappily. owned by
the British, which are still car
rying strategic supplies to the
Communist troops in Korea" He
said in addition to the British
owned ships there were others
of British registry.
Senator Mundt also said he
hoped there would be some
swift and drastic" action by the
British on reports that two ships
belonging to firms in Hong
Kong, a crown colony, were used
to transport Chinese Communist
troops during the Korean war.
The troop-carrying report was
contained in a State Department
document made public by the
subcommittee Thursday. There
was some dispute as to whether
the ships were actually under
control of their listed owners at
the time of the alleged Incl
dents in 1851 and 1852.
British sources have commended
the Chinese Reds took over the
ships before then.
