Kenilworth Project Dilemma:
What to Do About the Tracks

have concluded they will have
the discretion to locate the rail-
way tracks in the KenilWorth
and Deane avenue right-of ways
so as to give least interference
to the new thoroughfare.
But even the best location has
the highway people fearful.
Somehow. according to Highway
Director John N. Robertson, the
railroad will have to pass be-
meath the Kenilworth overpaSs
and through the complex net of
curving service roads linking
Deane avenue with Kenilworth
avenue.
Two Grade Crossings.
1t means, Mr.. Robertson said.
the rail line will have to cross
at least two of these streets at
grade. And these streets will
be heavily trafficked. About four
or five coal cars daily make the
passage to Pepco along this
route.
Furthermore, the Kenilworth
avenue plan between Deane ave-
nue. and Benning road calls for
service roads paralleling the
expreSsway and entering it at
intervals. The rail line would
probably have to be located in
the parkway separating the main
thoroughfare from the service
roads. Where the latter enter
the thoroughfare, they would
have to cross the railroad.
The Highway Department fig
ures that the best solution, from
a highway standpoint, is an
other plan pending before Con-
greSs. This bill, submitted by
Pepco. asks authority to build, at
its own expense, a railway over
pass at Kenilworth avenue near
Foote street. This structure
would carry a rail spur from the
main railroad line to the power
plant, and obviate necessity of
the facilities of either East
Washington Railway or Capital
Transit Co.

Policeman Richard Hart said
he fired the shots as he re-

By John w. Stepp

A Senate-approved clause in
the fiscal 1854 District appro-
priation bill has given the High
way Department a headache
that may well be compounded
when motorists begin using the
projected new Kenilworth ave-
nue. NE. expressway.
It is the provision that in
structS local authorities to make
sure that, in developing the
thoroughfare, railroad tracks
along the right of way will re-
main for carrying coal to the
nearby Pepco power plant.
The proviso appears in the
highway appropriation Of 81
million to build a Kenilwortll
avenue overpaSs of Deane avenue
The improvement is part Of the
roadway chain that includes
East Capitol Street Bridge, Ken
ilworth avenue, the Baltimore
Washington parkway and the
Annapolis freeway.
Plans for the overpass of
Deane avenue are all set. They
call for a complex system Of
curving street connections to en-
able traffic on both thorough
fares to get from one to the
other. Notwithstanding this COM
plexity. District highway officials
felt they had worked out a good
solution.
Would Remove Tracks.
But the planning was predi-
Gated on the hope that the rail-
road tracks servicing the Pepco
plant on Benning road would be
abandoned.
The tracks-a single set-run
along Deane avenue. pass be-
meath a main railroad overpass
and curve south into Kenilworth
avenue right in the middle of
the intersection. Occupying the
west side Of the Kenilworth
right-of-way. the railroad ex-
tends nearly to Benning road,
where it then turns west into
Pepco property.
The coal haulage over this line
is done by Capital Transit Co.,
using a Diesel switching engine.
Northern terminal Of the line is
in the yards owned by the East
Washington Railway. The coal
cars using Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad track along the main
line are deposited in the East
Washington Railway yards for
Canital Transit to haul to Pepco.
The District Highway Depart
ment, in laying out the plan
for the Kenilworth avenue over
pass, proposed that Capital
Transit's lines be abandoned. In
hearings last May before the
House subcommittee on ap-
preparations, however, officials of
both the railway and Capital
Transit protested. Both organi-
cations would suffer financial
loss, it was commended.
$4,000 Annual Profit.
The Senate needed these pro-
tests, plus, it was understood,
the intercession of Senator Mil
likin, Republican, Of Colorado.
East Washington Railway is
oned by a group of Colorado in
vestors. who have about $67,000
profits annually at stake in the
line.

District supply bill is subject to

OirkSen DiSagreeS.
In a running, though quiet de-
bate with the Oregon legislator,
Senator DirkSen, Republican, Of
Illinois, commended that the pro-
posed grant of authority to Mr..
Fowler constituted mo great
change" over the setup before
reorganization came into being.
1T is important that budget
airy and management matters be
closer to the Commissioners, "
he declared. Under the commit
tee proposal, Mr.. Fowler would
have reported directly to the
Commissioners instead of to Mr..
Lowe.
But Senator Morse responded
that the proposed shift involved
primarily a transfer of operat-
ing funds, it was actually a
transfer of authority as well.
eff the reorganization plan
needs amendment, then let's
amend it by legislative process,
he declared. In the meantime
he said "I'm opposed to meddling
in personnel problems. It means
moving away from home rule
and the delegation of authority
to the Commissioners"
When he saw his fight was ap-
parently lost, Senator DirkSer
observed that he was "Sure" the
reorganization subject would b
adequately ventilated in con-
ference"
AS a parting shot, Senator
Morse fred back the observation
that Reorganization Plan No.

Yale Captain Receives
Swede Nelson Award
By the Asseeiafed Press

BOSTON, Jan. 10.-Joe Nit
niger Of Greensboro. Pa, Yale's
1852 varsity football captain, to-
night accepted the Nels v.
(Swede) Nelson sportsmanship
award with the same humility
expressed by his six predecessors.
The award, dedicated to Har-
vars former player and coach,
was decided by a Nationwide
poll Of football coaches, writers
and broadcasters.
A large majority Of them cited
Mitinger'S Harvard-Yale game
conduct as demonstrating "a high
esteem for the football code and
exemplifying sportsmanship to
an outstanding degree"
During the third period Of that
contest, Mitinger, a defensive
guard, halted his charge when he
noted that Dick Clasby. Harvard
star. had collapsed without being
hit.
A few plays earlier. Clasby, the
Crimson's outstanding player,
had suffered a back injury. AS
he fell, Mitinger waved his
teammates aside. Mitinger then
accompanied Clasby to the side
lines as the latter was carried
of on q Stretcher.

That was much the closest Sedg-

McGregorS big mistake was in
