PERIOD PIECE. One of THIS WEEKS
writers reports that recently his daughter
Sukie went marching off with a band of
Brownie Scouts to inspect Washington's
Headquarters in North White Plains, N. Y.
This venerable historic landmark has been
preserved as museum.
On her return home, Sukie was bubbling
over with news about her important mission,
and her father asked waggishly, Did you
see General Washington" NO" she said
solemnly, ''he wasn't in. but Mrs. Washington
showed us all around the house. 1t was very
pretty but sort of uncomfortable - Mrs.
Washington keeps red ropes tied around all
the chairs and beds!'
RED FACES. Is the United Nations sound
ing board for Russian propaganda? Should
we take steps to shut off the flow of bleat and
buster from the Soviet delegation? Henry
Cabot Lodge Jr., our chief delegate to the
UN, says no - we should give them plenty of
rope and let them go right on talking For
Red faces would be crimson indeed, he feels,
if they realized how their ridiculous behavior
alienates neutrals and costs them friends. Mr.
Lodge goes into revealing and important de-

PROOF. There seems to be rumor running
around that St. Bernard dogs are no longer

QUESTION: Is it true that fra
ditional Judaism looks down
upon manual labor? IF. r.. Fort
Myers. Fla.)
ANSWER: No. Quite the con-
trary. Traditional Judaism has
always looked upon labor as a
worthy enterprise. TIL e Bible
speaks with careful detail about
the wages paid for labor. The
Bible also states "When you eat
of the labor of your hands, happy
shall you be, and it shall be well
with YOU" The Talmud goes so
far as to say that "He who lives
by the labor of his hands is SUI
perior to the Cd fearing" Many
great Talmudic Scholars of note
earned their livelihood through
manual labor. If there was any
time in Jewish history where a
tendency was noted to veer to-
wards mental skills, it was pri-
marily due to the discrimination
against Jews in employment
which forced them into individual
enterprises which are of course,
mainly mental labor such as bust
ness and professions.

be built to replace this route.
Right-of-way restrictions make
location of such an expressway

2. The corridor" through
Baileys Crossroads and AMMAN
dale is served by Shirley high
way and Columbia pike. They
would accommodate only so per
cent of the 1878 demand. So a
new expressway near Columbia
pike is needed.
3. The northern corridor is
served by Arlington boulevard,
Washington boulevard and Lee
highway. They would meet about
IS per cent of the 1878 needs.
The Falls Church expressway
would help make up the deficit.
4. The cross-county corridor
is served mainly by Glebe road
and the Leesburg pike. To meet
increased traffic needs-as we'll
as distribute traffic to the
Washington bound radial ex-
preSSway-a new croSS-county

In each of these cases, the
report stressed, improvements to

New Expresswoys and Bridges

Following are the neD er-

ants to the Virginia Legisld-
ture. In the case of some eTist-
ING roads, costs are giuen Uith
and without the proposed nep

projects are estimated to meet
traffic needs until 1873.
Potomac River Expressway
and Bridge-The four-la
limited-access expressway would
begin near U. S. Route / at
Hybla Valley, and extend 81
miles to lead into a new bridge
just downriver from the exist
ing Highway Bridge. The bridge
in turn, would connect with the
proposed Southwest freeway in
Washington. The expressway
would traverse major streets on
the Potomac River side of Alex
andria and follow the line of the
Mount Vernon Memorial high
way after leaving the city. It
should be designated as new
U. S. Route /. The road and
bridge would cost $39.5 million
Falls Church Expressway and

8.8 miles between Arlington

meanwhile, came in the midst of
a bitter fight between the Dis
trict Highway Department and
the National Capital Planning
Commission. The planners are
meeting today to consider COM
parative costs of the proposed E
street and Reaches Run tpre-
cisely the same as the newly
proposed HainS Point) bridges.
Highway officials contend the E
street span and necessary ap-
proaches would cost about $50
million. They contend the
Reaches Run cost would range
from $33 million to $50 million,
depending upon what approach
improvements are made.
The Wilbur Smith report put
the cost of a Hains Point bridge
at $15.7 million and said the
Three Sisters Bridge would cost
$5.6 million. The Virginia ap-
proacheS to these bridges, the
proposed Potomac River express
way and the Falls Church ex-
pressway, would cost $23.8 million
and $12.7 million respectively, the
report said.
Other Costs Estimated.
For the other two expressways,
the consultants listed a cost of
$19.4 million for the inter
mediate circumferential," and
$11 million for the Columbia pike
substitute leading to Annandale.
The improvements to other ex-
isting highways, the report esti-
mated, would cost $19.3 million.
To correct Arlington boule-
wards Seven Corners traffic snarl,
one Of the worst in the area, the
consultantS suggested further
study is needed to determine
whether grade separation struc-
ture should be built or whether
the intersection should be by
passed altogether.
The report did not propose a
formula for Federal aid to fl
nance the Improvements. It said
it's purpose was not to recon-
mend Federal policy, and left
follow-ups to the Virginia Legis-
lature.
The report noted that, if Vir-
ginia's total highway revenues
could be increased by $40 million
a year and the total applied to
Washington area roads, four or
five years still would be required
to pay for needs. 1t did say,
however, that if Federal funds
could finance "the expressway
system" proposed in the report,
Virginia could provide the needed
improvements to existing high
ways within the next 20 years.
Early Start Urged.
Urging an early start by the
State toward a financing solu-
ton, the report said Washington
area road deficiencies could be
compared ito a sick person who
has allowed his maladies to &C
cumulate."
The consultants stressed that
the Federal Government has a
direct interest in the problem,
since many of the road require
ments are traceable directly to
Federal employment centers of
people who live in the bedroom
suburb" of Washington.
The Virginia Legislature took
special pains to order a de-
tailed study of the possibility
of tolls to finance the projects.
The consultants discussed in de-
| tail toll possibilities for each
project they proposed-plus the
"outer belt" road they recon-
mended against. Despite heavy
traffic volumes on some of the
routes, they concluded that only
the Falls Church expressway
would develop enough income to
pay for itself. the Three Sisters

On the District side, it would lead

bold Park. In Virginia, it would

Ties in Expressways.
AS perhaps the reports major
feature, the two new bridges
would tie directly into two Of
the three proposed expressways.
The downstream, or Hains Point,
bridge. would feed into a pro-
posed Potomac River expressway.
This expressway, leaving the
bridge, would follow the line of
the present Mount Vernon Me-
mortal highway nearly to Alex
andria, then skirt Alexandria S
eastern edge to link with U. S.
Route l near Gum Springs.
The Three Sisters Bridge
would connect with an 8.8-mile-
long Falls Church expressway.
This road would parallel Lee
highway (Route 29-21D as far
as Washington boulevard. veer
northward around Falls Church
and then cut sharply southwark
to connect with Arlington boule-
ward CU. S. Route SOD near Gal
lows road.
The other new expressway
proposed was an intermediate
circumferential" route, passing
between and paralleling Glebe
road and the Leesburg pike
(Route y.
The most important improve
ments proposed for existing
highways included widening of
Shirley highway in places to
six lanes, conversion of Arling-
ton boulevard to a full express
way from Memorial Bridge all
the way to Fairfax Circle, and
rebuilding and rerouting nearly
all of Columbia pike as a new
expressway.
Other Main Proposals.
In other highlights, the 103-
page consultants' report said:
/. The long-planned "outer
belt" route linking the Shirley
highway with proposed new
bridges at Jones Point in. Alex
andria, and at Cabin John, Md,
would not attract sufficient traf-
fic to warrant its complete con-
struction.
Specifically, the report rec
commended against the Cabin
John Bridge and the northern
portion of the belt. 1t said the
Cabin John span would not at
tract more than 1900 cars a
day. 1t said approaches to the
Jones Point Bridge might war;
rant immediate construction. "
but did not otherwise endorse
the Jones Point Bridge as a
high-priority project.
2. Maintained that none of
the improvements should be
constructed as toll facilities.
with the possible exception of the
Falls Church expreSsway and
Three Sisters bridge.
8. Doubted that mass transit
facilities can be developed as the
major solution to the nearby
Virginia traffic problem.
Stand Provides Surprise.
The recommendations on the
outer belt highway. planned to
encircle Washington, came as a
major surprise. Proposals for
both the roadway and the Jones
Point bridge have had strong
Endorsement from area road
builders and planners. In addi-
ton, the Maryland Roads Com
mission has said it planned to
acquire land within the next
four years for its part of the
