Prentiss Wants
List Of Points
In Span Dispute
Tells Plan to Solve
Highway, Bridge Row
During V ToIk

Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
the Engineer Commissioner, has
ordered a detailed listing of diff
ferences between the District
Highway Department and the
National Capital Planning Com
mission in an attempt to resolve
highway and bridge contro-
verSieS.
This was disclosed last night
during the telecast of "Your
Commissioners Report" over
WMAL-TV, The Star station.
Gen. Prentiss said the biggest
factor in the bitter bridge and
road disputes between the two
groups is that the two follow
different master development
plans for the area.
Wants 1t in Writing.
AS a first step in trying to get
agreement on the points of diff
ference in the two plans, he said,
he has asked the Highway De-
partment to put into black and
white" the points of controversy.
After this is done, he said, he
would like to see top-level con-
ferenceS try to iron out the
differences and bring the two
plans together.
The two plans are the plan
ming commissions Comprehensive
Plan of 1851, which could set
a pattern for future highway
development, and Washington
area proposal for highway needs
drawn up by highway officials
from the District, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads.
Two Plans Conflict.
The two plans conflict directly
on Potomac River crossings and
have led to a drawn-out fight.
The Highway Department favors
an E street bridge, and the plan
ming commission one at Reaches
Run. Both proposals are now
before House District subcom-
mittee.
Officials estimate that about
80 per cent of the projects in
the highway development plan
are in agreement with the plan
nerS' program. But the conflicts
involve key projects such as the
bridge location and the question
of whether a major highway
should be run through Rock
Creek Park from downtown
Washington to the Maryland
line.

Adequate Police Force
Held Dependent on Vote

Herbert P. Leeman told the
Burleith Citizens Association
last night the District would
have an adequate police force if
the people had the right to vote.
Mr.. Leeman, president of the
Central Suffrage Conference Of
the District, said the police Sit
uation is the Joke" of the
country and that the "lack of
interest in our own affairs" can
be blamed for it.
He also said the approval Of

.H-Bomb Is Forcing
District 10 Revise
Civil Defense Plans

The District is revising it's en-
tire civil defense planning in the
light of recent revelations on the
destructive power of the hydro
gen bomb, Commissioner Samuel
Spencer disclosed last night.
| The new plans are based on
evacuation of the city in event
of an H-bomb attack. he said
during Your Commissioners
Report" telecast over WMAL-
TV. The Stars television station
Such an evacuation. Commits
Sioner Spencer explained. would
be contingent on a six-houl
warning. He conceded there is
no assurance so far that the city
would get that much warning
Civil defense authorities, he
said, "are planning for all even
tualities, even an old-fashioned
A-bomb attack"
| Other Problems.
Turning to other problems
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss, the
Engineer Commissioner, told ot
steps being taken to minimize
odors from 35 million pounds OF
raw sewage which will pour into
the AnacoStia River when re-
pairs are made to sewer break
near the Naval Gun Factory.
Gen. Prentiss said he has or.
dered the Sanitation Depart
ment to treat this sewage with
chemicals. The break is about
18 feet long. Repairs will take
a couple of weeks.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray, also on the program, re-
ported that March figures show
a drop in the number of serious
crimes.
Last month there were 1889
of which CTS, or AZ per cent
were solved. In March, 1858
there were 1894 such crimes.
Chief Murray attributed the
drop to the greater number OF
policemen on the streets, sitter
sentences handed down by the
courts and the new crime bill.
No figures were available for
juvenile, crime last month. but
Commissioner Spencer reported
that the totals will be higher
than those for January and
February.
Sterner Attitude.
Chief Murray emphasized that
the police do not advocate harsh
treatment of juveniles. But, he
said, the police will take a stern
attitude toward ''repeaterS" of
serious crimes.
Gen. PrentiSs, in another mat
ter. brought out that the ap-
pointment of Frederick Eigger
Of the National Capital Planning
Commission expires on April 81.
Gen. Prentiss said he feels that
there was a need, Ito a very
strong degree" for a local per-
son to be appointed to the NCPC.
Mr.. Bigger is from Pittsburgh.
In connection with the O'Hara
bill to replace the three-man

President Signs Bill
For Pepco Span Over
KeniIworth Avenue

President Eisenhower today
signed a bill authorizing con-
struction of railroad bridge
over Kenilworth avenue that will
enable the Potomac Electric
Power Co. to get coal deliveries
from Pennsylvania Railroad into
the Pepco power plant on Ben
ming road NE.
District Highway Department
plans for developing Kenilworth
avenue, into a limited access
thoroughfare require abandon
ment of the on-grade railroad
spur over which Pepco now gets
its Pennsylvania coal deliveries.
This track now angles from
northeast to southwest across
Kenilworth avenue from 100 to
400 feet south of Foote street
NE. The proposed overpass will
cross the avenue at the south
west corner of the Foote street
intersection.
In Operation for Years.
For years Capital Transit Co.,
operating under a special city
permit, has maintained the pres
ent spur, and charges Pepco 25
cents per ton for coal which it
hauls over the line between
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
and the Pepco property. When
the bridge is built either Pepco
or the railroad will carry the
coal into the power plant.
The loss of this haulage busi-
ness means a net revenue loss
of between $4,000 and $1,000 an
nually, according to transit
company official. Capital Tran
sit makes about an equal amount
each year by hauling coal to the
Pepco plant over another set of
rails on Kenilworth avenue.
Capital Transit picks up this
coal at the East Washington
Railway Co. yards. near Deane
and Kenilworth avenues, where
it is deposited by the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, whose tracks
parallel Pennsylvania in this
area.
The Highway Department
would like to see this Capital
Transit line abandoned, too,
since it complicateS the Kenil-
worth avenue development at
the Deane avenue intersection.
Congress. however, has specified
that this line can only be re-
located, not abandoned, at this
time. The District and Capital
Transit apparently are at odds
over who will pay the relocation
cost.
Bridge to Cost $35O,OOO.
The Pepco overpass approved
by the President today will cost
! about $350,000, including ap-
proacheS which will have to be
built up considerably higher than
the present grade. The power
company must submit its con-
struction plans for approval by
the District Commissioners. A
Pepco official said the company
expects to begin building as soon
as the approved is received. He
added that completion of the
project is expected in about six
months.
Asked about future plans for
coal deliveries, the company
spokesman reiterated that Pepco
still would prefer to get its coal
over two railroads to insure its
sources of supply. The posi-
bility appeared, however. that
Capital Transit might give up all
it's coal hauling operations when
the overpaSs cuts half of its
revenues from that source.
A Capital Transit spokesman
declined to comment on this pos
sibility. The District Highway
Department meanwhile was keep
ing its fingers crossed and pro-
ceeding with its construction
program for Kenilworth avenue.

FROM where | SIT
By VINCENT S. BAKER

NEW YORK, (GlobaD. - Last
week, we discussed the views and
proposals of those who, like Sena-
tor Knowland, believe that this
country should follow tougher
policy toward Communist nations,
that "co-existence" is drug. These
people want the United States to
guarantee the aNtionalist-held Off
shore islands as we'll as Formosa,
and to blockade Red China if need
be, to secure the release of the
American flyers. They believe that
these and possibly other measures
are necessary to prevent Red China
from dominating Asia, with the
terrible consequence that would
bring.
According to reports, these views
are shared by all members of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, but one
Gen. Matthew RidgWay. RidgWays
views are shared, however, by
President Eisenhower.

the President and the Army Chief
