ment.

committee.
These changes include some

posed in the bill and the elimi-
nation of the proposed require
ments that any one who pos

Soar Above Estimates
BY the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE, May 1.-The
Chesapeake Bay Bridge linking
Maryland's Eastern and Western
shores, is surprising the hopes
of the experts with its money
making ability.
Already. in its first nine
months, the toll span has col
lected more than had been plan
ned for a full year.
Through April it carried .290,-
427 vehicles for a total of 81
575,055 in tolls. Traffic officials
had expected 1t to gross about
$2.4 million the first year.
And the summer vacation
months of May. June and July
are expected to bring an even
heavier volume of traffic.
Louis j. O'Donnell. in charge
of the States toll facilities, said
the Chesapeake span, along with
the Potomac River and Susque-
hanna River toll bridges. took in
just under $575. 900 during April.
OF this amount, the Bay Bridge
crossed $271 ,666. IS.

Planners Vacancy
May Be Filled Next
Week, Mckay Hints

Interior Secretary Mckay in
dicated today he will recommend
to the White House next week a
new appointee for the National
Capital Planning Commission
from among several candidates"
now under consideration.
Two of those with the heaviest
backing are Alvin L. Aubinoe.
prominent Washington builder.
and Harlyand Bartholomew, St.
Louis city planner and a long
time conSultant to the NCPC.
Mr.. Mckay stressed, however,
that the race has not narrowed
to these two as far as his recon-
mendation is concerned. He said
q number Of other names have
been submitted to the depart
ment with backing from various
groups. One organization which
heavily supported Mr.. Barthol-
omew. for example, also submit
ted two other names, it was
learned.
A vacancy on the Federal City
planning body occurred April 80
with expiration of the term of
Albert P. Greensfelder, retired
st. Louis builder appointed by
former President Truman.
Since the President was en-
powered, under a 1852 reorgani-
cation law, to designate the
NCPC chairman as well as new
members, speculation has been
high that Gen. Eisenhower
might designate as chairman the
man he appoints to succeed Mr..

The people who control the

There is, too-a gnarled giant

Senate-passed legislation for a

commission was formally re-

referred to it's Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.
Representative Hyde, Republi-
can of Maryland, announced he
will ask the committee to take

Gated both the Senate-passed

The legislation would estab-
lish a commission of three men,
bers appointed by the President

subject to confirmation by the

The commission would be

Arlington Minister
Charges U. 5. Helps
In Exploiting Laos

The United States has dem
onstrated a spiritual disability"
by going to the aid of "exploita-
ton" in Laos, the Rev. Ross
Allen Weston. minister of the
Unitarian Church of Arlington,
said in his sermon yesterday.
Asia is facing the greatest So
cial, economic and political revo-
luton in the world, he said.
I'm the face of such social
upheaval," Mr.. Weston told his
congregation, America once
again sounds the trumpets of
colonialism and rushes to the
defense of exploitation. It seeks
to calm the waters of revolution
by spreading the oil of the status
quo. If we do not win these
people by meeting their needs,
then communism surely will"
Another evidence of the Ma
tion's spiritual disability" the
minister said, is that the coun-
try "is in the midst of a witch
hunt, the ostensible purpose OF
which is a purge of Communists,
but the real purpose of which
is to drive liberals into a storm
cellar"
Mr.. Weston said, "Our Presi-
dent. who seems to want to tide
the waves as advantageously as
he can with an eye to next years
elections, seems willing to COM
promise with the McCarthys of
America, although deep down in
his heart he must detest them,
knowing that the menace of
communism in this country is
a hoax.
1.-THE actual enemy of America
at the present time is not Russia,
potentially dangerous as she is.
but supra-patriots within who
are eating away at the founda-
tions Of our civil liberties like
termites. The McCarthys, the
Jenners, the McCarrans and the
Veldes are doing more to destroy
our freedoms than Joe Stain
ever dreamed of doing through
subversive activities"

District Heads
10 Study Tax
Setup as Asked
Congress Request
Not q Forecast,
Spencer Points Out

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
today said city officials would
study the tax structure here as
requested by the staff Of the
Senate District Committee.
The committee has asked the
study and raised the possibility
that big tax increases for Dis
trict residents may be the way
to finance the $335 million public
works program being advocated
by the city heads.
Mr.. Spencer commented:
I'VE shouldn't Jump to conclu-
sions just because the request
was made. We can't expect Con-
gress to approve the public works
program without examining the
tax structure of the District"
To Support Own Plan.
He said he and his fellow Com
misSioners would continue to
support their plan to finance the
public works program. This would
call for a combination of Federal
grants and Federal loans with
small tax increases in water and
sewer rates.
"The present plan was devel-
oped after full consideration of
the present level of District
taxes" Mr.. Spencer said. "It is
a well-conceived plan. It is fair
to the Federal Government and
fair to the District taxpayers"
Mr.. Spencer said it was a nat
ural thing to expect Congress to
want to examine the city finan-
ciAl structure before appropriat-
ing the huge sum needed for the
public works program.
Robert C. Albrook, clerk of the
Senate District Committee, said
preliminary studies were under
way.
Excise Increases Weighed.
Apparently the committee
staff is trying to find out if the
District can raise another $40
million in tax revenues by in
creasing present taxes on real
estate. cigarettes, beer, and in
comes.
The public works program was
drafted by a citizens committee
headed by Francis G. Addison,
jr. The Commissioners took this
draft and came up with a pro-
gram for improving all city fa-
cilities. The program currently
is in the hands of the Federal
Budget Bureau.
The Commissioners are seek
ing approval Of the whole pro-
gram from this Congress. Actual
appropriation of funds would
come later.
One of the main principles of
the program, approved by the
Addison committee and the Com
missioners, was that taxes should
not be increased to any extent
or the result would be an ac-
celeration Of the move of busi-
ness firms and residents to the
suburbs.
