ST. Matthew. 7:f2.
Therefore all things what
soever ye would that men
should do to you, do We even
so to them: for this is the
law and the prophets.
st. Matthew. 7:12.
Ye have heard that it hath
been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor, and hate thine en-
emy.
But I say unto you, Love
your enemies. bless them that
curse you, do good to them
that hate you. and pray for
them which despitefully use
you. and persecute you;
That We may be the children
of your Father which is in
Heaven: for he maketh his
sun to rise on the evil and on
the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and the unjust.
st. Matthew. 5:4S-l5.
And the King shall answer
and say unto them, Verify I
say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me.

Owe no man anything, but

For even the Son of man

The case of this wealthy American, who

who is expected to return as chairman of

penalties OF being in the upper financial

Perhaps there is no answer in orr So

that the law should be changed. to allow
top government procurement officials TO

tial loss for the privilege Of serving his

Difficult Problems.
Planning Commission Chair
man Harland Bartholomew said
several difficult problems will
arise in comparing the two
bridges. One of the most i'm
portant, he said, will be what
highway and street improve
ments on both sides of the river
should be, in fairness, charged
to the bridges.
He noted, for example, that the
District Highway Department has
proposed drastic street improve
ments which would feed traffic
to and from the E street span.
Gen. Prentiss responded that
improvements directly chargeable
to the bridge certainly should be
included in its cost. But he
stressed that certain of the i'm
provements shown on bridge
maps will have to be done re-
gardless of whether the bridge is
built. These, he said, should be
excluded from cost estimates.
Need X Street UnderpasS.
For example," he said, "a K
street underpass of Washington
Circle is essential whether we
have the bridge % not. On the
other hand, we may need a
double underpass of Washington
Circle-for K street and New
Hampshire avenue on different
levels-if we build the bridge. In
that case, the additional under
pass might be included"
Gen. Pentiss noted that SINH
lar road improvements will have
to be evaluated in relation to the
proposed Southwest bridge. One
question it raises, he said, is
whether the Mall would have to
be underpassed and where such
an underpass would come to
grade.
