OTIS AIR FORCE BASE.
Mass, June 21.-A new genera
ton of highly trained and youth
full pilots is coming up fast in the
District Air National Guard.
Typical of the new jet jockeys
are I'd Its. Woodson G. Hayes,
"a, of 1910 Twenty first street
NV; Robert NJ. Bonwit, %, of
1928 Fourth street NV. and
Wayne Icenhower, %, of 1927 G

They all got their training
under the special cadet program
of the Air Guard, which is hold
ing gunnery maneuvers here.
Because of this, today they are
handling the North American
F-86 Sabrejets of the Guard in
efficient fashion.
These three young men repre-
sent the core of future Air
Guardsmen who will be intrusted
with. the task of defending the
Washington area in case of
attack by air. Some of the cur
rent pilots, who learned their
flying in World War II, while
still young men by current stand
ards, will begin to feel the rigors
of a jet fighter pilots life in the
not too distant future. Ultimate
ly they will give way to the
younger men who are coming in.
Trained in Nevada.
1t. Woodson joined the Guard
in 1852. From Memphis, Tenn,
he has lived in Washington five
years, attended George Washing

Officials
Submit Plans
For Key Bridge
Widening Program
Details Given U. S.
And Virginia Experts

District highway officials to-
day laid before their Virginia
and Federal counterpartS tenta.
tive plans for major action to
unsnarl traffic using Key Bridge.
District Highway Director J.
N. Robertson explained that he
is beginning to prepare his 1856
budget. He said he was willing
to include in it the widening Of
Key Bridge. but that there was
no use in the Districts making
its improvements unless the
Virginia side could be straight
ened out.
The conference was the first
of its kind in an effort to obtain
Federal, District and Virginia
agreement on an improvement
program for the bridge.
The visiting officials. after the
meeting, asked for copies of the
plan and cost estimates for study
and report.
Proposed Changes.
Generally, the plans. including
approaches on both sides of the
bridge, as drawn up by the Dis
trict highway Office include these
features:
Removal of the street car
tracks.
Construction Of new sidewalks
off the bridge proper on canti-
lever structures.
Construction of three ramp
connections on the District side
and an overpasS in line with M
street to eliminate all of the
present conflicting turning
movements.
One ramp connection would be
between WhitehurSt Freeway and
the bridge, another in reverse.
and a third from the bridge to
M street.
An extension of the White
hurst Freeway to cross Canal
road could be added either now
or as a follow-up measure.
On the Virginia side there
would be construction designed
to eliminate the greatest volume
of conflicting traffic at Rosslyn
Plaza. This involves a ramp
from Key Bridge to connect the
southbound traffic east and west
on George Washington Memorial
Parkway.
Movement from northbound
parkway to Key Bridge would be
accommodated on an extension
of Lee highway between the
parkway and Lynn street.
Cost Set at SIS Million.
It was estimated the total cost
of making the improvements
needed now under this plan
would be about SIS million.
John Nolen, jr., staff director
of the National Capital Planning
Commission, said the plans show
the commission and the District
Highway Department are largely
in agreement on the changes
that must be made to solve the
problems on the Virginia side.
Study still is in progress with
respect to the District side, he
added.
Mr.. Nolen stressed the import
ance of finding an answer to the
mass transportation problem. and
also those beyond the Rosslyn
Plaza, which may be expected to
become more acute as greater
capacity is developed on the
bridge itself and at the plaza.
Other problems brought up in
the discussion included what to
do about truck traffic. and the
presence of the Hot Shoppe on
the south side of the bridge.
The proposed widening of the
bridge would increase its capacity
from four to six lanes and the
width from 50 Tn 80 feet

Cultural Importance Of Food.

Due to it's vital role in the
struggle for existence, food has
gained a significance in society
beyond merely providing nour-
ishment. Candy, ice cream,
cookies and the like are given as
rewards to children for good be-
havior or tasks completed.
Certain people demand foods
with which they are familiar in
order to feel secure.

America sent large quantities
of maize. Many Irish people

The hold-up occurs mainly at
no-trump contracts and its chief
purposes are to cut the COM
munications between the de-
tenders hands and to set the
timing of the hand for possible
squeeze. 1t is useful, sometimes
vital, to the success of the con-
tract.
But Miss Brash is right. There
are occasions when the hold-up
seems to be called for but. for
various reasons, should not be
used. For the next few days
We'll look into these situations.
Today's hand illustrates the
simplest case of all. Mr.. Cham

Masters played the jack. and Mr..
New would have been better off
If he had never heard of the
hold-up. For a reason known
only to himself he let the jack
win. He ducked the spade return
and Mr.. Champion won with the
queen.
Now Mr.. Champion hit on the
killer. He led the five of dia-
monds. This put his partner in
with the king to lead another
spade. Mr.. Champion now had
the king of spades set up and

was enough to beat the contract.
Let's see how it would have
gone if Mr.. New had won the
first spade trick. as he should
have done. At trick two he would
lead a small diamond.
MI. Masters would win and
lead back a spade. Mr.. Cham
pion could take the king and
queen but then he would be
through. Mr.. News ten would
win the fourth round of the suit.
He would lose. in all. two spades
and two diamonds.
He should have won the first
trick. because using his ace to
kill an opposing honor would
guarantee him two spade win
ners. The way he played it. he
