New Study Is Urged
10 Change Site for
Central Area Bridge

An entire new study to pick
a new site for the proposed CEN
tral area bridge across the Poo
tomac was urged yesterday by
the Committee of 100 for the
Federal City.
The planning body took this
stand as an expression of its dis
satisfaction with the present
tentative site, a short distance
upriver from Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
Agreement was virtually unan-
imous that a bridge there would
mar the vista on the river side
of the Lincoln Memorial. AS one
planner put 1t, a bridge in the
approximate line of Constitution
avenue would prevent observers
from getting the full emotional
significance" of the Memorial
area.
FavOrs Span at Island.
In the course of a long dis
cussion. which turned into a po-
lite debate at times, Elbert Poets,
landscape architect Of the Fine
Arts Commission, spoke for run
ming the new bridge across
Theodore Roosevelt Island. Mr.
Peets noted, however, that this
location should be reSorted to if
a tunnel under the river in the
vicinity of Constitution avenue
should not be feasible.
In the restudy resolution,
drawn as a request to the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission, the committee asked for
a careful and detailed examina-
ton of the possibilities of a tun-
mel.
Calls Island "Wrong Place."
Maj. Gen. u. S. Grant, III, a
leader in the so-far-successful
fight against using Roosevelt Is
land as a bridge site. argued he
still is convinced that location
is the wrong place" for a bridge.
both aesthetically and as an es-
cape valve for downtown traffic.
The NCPC-supported bridge
site just down river from the
Potomac River Railroad Bridge,
near Reaches Run, should have
first priority, Gen. Grant said.
IF it turns out that there is
need for another bridge farther
upriver,' he declared, "let the
next generation take care of it" !"
Gen. Grant said he believes
the restrictive language in the
bridge bill passed by the last ses-
sion Of Congress would permit
downriver location at Reaches
Run as serving the central area
of Washington.
Defeat Reaches Run Move.
A move to reaffirm an earlier
Amove to reaffirm an earlier
stand favoring construction of a
Reaches Run Bridge was batted
down on the initiative of Wash
ington I. Cleveland, who de-
clared: There isn't a ghost of
a chance for that location at this
time"
Mr.. Peets had an ally in Hor-
ace w. Peaslee, vice chairman of
the committee who presided over
yesterdays session. Mr.. Peaslee
said he still favors a bridge in
line with E street.
In urging q site over the north
end of Roosevelt Island Mr..
Peets pointed out that visitors
to the island would. if the Con-
Stitution avenue location is de-
cided on, find their downriver
view of the Potomac marred by
the new structure. This, he
said, would be a tragic situa-
tion."
In this connection the arts
commission official revealed that
efforts are being made by Gill
more D. Clarke, a former chair
man Of the commission, to sound
out the Theodore Roosevelt

Calls Rider an AffrOnt.
DR.. Florence A. Armstrong,
prominent member of the Ma
tional Women's Party, outlined
the current congressional Situa-
ton of the Equal Rights Amend
ment.
DR.. Armstrong asserted that Of
the four measures in Congress
purporting to improve women's
legal status in the United States
"only the measure of Represen-
tative Katharine st. George, Re-
publican. Of New York, is appro-
pirate to the Constitution and
adequate to give women equal
legal status with men, and full
citizenship
The speaker said she considers
the passage of the Hayden rider
to the Equal Rights Amendment
last July" ill-considered. unjust,
unwise and a great affront to
the women of the Nation"
Hits Hunt Amendment.
"A new peril" she added, ais
the Constitutional Status Amend
ment introduced by Senator
Hunt. Democrat. of Wyoming,
last August. and introduced in
the House as a companion meas
ure by Representative Harrison,
Republican, of Wyoming"
She called the measure inap-
propriate. adding it would &C
complish nothing new and would
change nothing.
THE peril" DR.. Armstrong
said, lis that. because it would
not change anything. it may be
seized upon and pushed through
by Labor which opposes equality
of women. and by those women's
organizations being used by La
Dor to thwart the aspirations of
women for equal status under
law"

Underwater
Photos Won't
Be Released
Navy Decides Not
To Permit Use OF
Color Photographs

BY DENIS sNEIcR

The underwater color
photos of a submarine,
made here the night Of Nov
%, are classified and will
not be released, The Citizen
learned today.
This is the latest of three
conflicting Navy decisions
on what to do with the night
color photos of the submer-
ged submarine.
A spokesman at the office of the
Chief of Navy Information in Wash
ington, according to the Associated
Press, said the photos were made
for the Bureau Of Ordnance and
are classified.
Applies To Sylvanis
"This applies also to Sylvania, =
the AP message read.
Previously, the word on the dis
position of the photos = the first
color phots ever made at night OF
a submerged sub = was that they
had been given to the Sylvania
Electric Products Corporation for
use in advertising.
1t. r. J. Fay, commanding ON
Ger of the Navy's Underwater
Swimmers School and who made
the photos, recently made that
statement to this reporter.
The first Navy decision on the
photos that The Citizen Termed of,
came from Capt. S. G.. Selby in
the office of the Navy's Chief Of
Information.
Earlier Word
Capt. Selby signed a telegram
for Rear Adm. w. G. .Beecher say
ing that all the photos were for
across the board release" by the
Defense Department.
The telegram was addressed to
this reporter in response to query
wired to Washington last Septem-
ber.
At that time, Lcdr. Charles A.
Hooper, officer in charge of the
Navy's Underwater Photo Team,
was here with his men to work out
details Of the photo.
Also here at that time were re-
presentatives of Sylvania.
The Sylvania representatives
gave The Citizen still another de-
cision on the ultimate disposition
OF the photos.
Lies Edge
According to the Sylvania repre-
Sentatives, the photos were to be
released first in Life Magazine.
This looked very possible at the
time, since Peter Stackpole, Life

Par value of the new
stock would be $25 per
share, the same as the
shares outstanding.
Share Increase
Transfer would be from the
banks surplus account, and the
number of shares outstanding
would be increased from 1900 to
$1,000.
The plan has the tentative APP
proval of the Comptroller of the
Currency, Washington, d. c., and
will be submitted to the sharehold-
ers for approval at their annual
meeting to be held January II.
1855.
This change would make the
banks capital stock $4OO,O 900, sur
plus 100000, with undivided pro-
fits and reserves $108, ,794.77 at the
last published statement on Octo-
Der Z, 1854, making a total Of
$S0S, ,794.77. Deposits on that date
we're $12, 2,72S, ,O69.45.
Confidence In Key West
Trevor said that this change in
the banks capital structure was
in keeping with the growth of the
bank and the remarkable growth
of the Key West and Monroe Coun-
ty area that it serves and was a
vote of confidence in the continued
growth of this area.
With the encouragement of the
Comptroller's office, the bank has
built up sizable surplus in order
to enable it to serve the communi-
ty better advantage, and the direc-
tors felt that a stock dividend to- the
shareholders was in order at this
time.
The bank is a member of the Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corporation
and of the Federal Reserve, as
well as the Florida National Group
of Banks.
It can be expected that the share
holders viii approve the stock di-
vidend at their January meeting.
