The issue arose from a clause

ton concurrently with that Of
the parent body.
Forty and Fights constitu-
ton provides that membership

delete the race provision was
beaten down at the 40 and 8
meeting, and the fight moved
to the Legion floor.
There it was decided that
the autonomy of the fun
makers would not be abridged
by Legion action. This had
the effect of ratifying the
status quo without putting the
Legion (which does not re-
strict membership by race) on
record as favoring racial bars.

Western Germany into the
European community. So far.
M. MendeS-France has avoided
any specific proposals. Pro-
EDO deputies in the National
Assembly, including several ex-
Premiers, said Thursday, how
ever, that they would never"
vote for unrestricted German
rearmament. That is what
taking West Germany into
NATO on a full equality basis
would likely entail. Probably
a solid majority of French
MPs would vote with the ex-
PremierS on this issue.
EDO was killed by a COM
bination of Communists and
rightists. Now West German
admission to NATO may be
prevented by Communists and
pro-EDC forces.
Best chance for a favorable
French decision on the NATO
move, according to some out
side observers, would be to
dissolve the present National
Assembly which, it is said, is
unrepresentative of the French
peoples mood. Both Com
munists and Gaullists would
lose seats. it is predicted.
But dissolving the National
Assembly might deprive M.
Mendes-France of his dearly
won opportunity to revamp the
French economy.
NATO statesmen can't afford
to tumble the ball again, Of

Metropolitan Scene:
DC. at Big Disadvantage
InFights With Planners
By John W. Thompson. il.

In their differences with
Federal planning and park Of
flcials. District representatives
sometimes are fighting with
one hand tied behind them.
The reason is that their OPP
penents have back-door access
to the White House through
the Secretary of Interior.
Just how well that can work
was demonstrated the other
day when the White House is
sued a surprise statement in
connection with the signing
Of the bill for two new bridges
across the Potomac.
The Defects
The statement said the bill
was being signed because 1t
offered a compromise solu-
ton to the struggle over the
location Of a downtown span.
But, it added, the measure
also contains serious defects
for which the Secretary of In
terror has been asked to rec
ommend changes-both execu-
tive and legislative.
What was said about Jones
Point bridge was clear cut
and logical. The bill vested
responsibility for building the
bridge in the Secretary of the
Interior. whose department is
not a Federal construction
agency. 1t should be changed
therefore so that "construc-
ton, maintenance and opera
ton" are vested in either the
Army Corps of Engineers or
the Bureau Of Public Roads.
What was said about the
downtown bridge was not SO
clear. 1t had, from a District
point of view, even dangerous
implications. The statement
visualized the bridge as a
threat to the various memori-
als-because of anticipated
high traffic volume. To cope
with this threat. according to
the statement, the Secretary
of Interior should maintain
control over all park land
around the entrances to the
bridge and-here's the rub:
1.-THE Secretary of Interior
also should be authorized to
approve all plans for the
bridge and for approach roads
and interchanges at both ends
of the bridges since park struc-
lures and land are involved.
Trucks should be prohibited on
the bridge and its approaches
and all passenger. carrying
buses now using the Arlington
Memorial Bridge should be re-
quired to use the new bridge
upon it's completion"
This seemed a clear effort
to ignore District traffic prob
lens, which city officials were
seeking to alleviate with the
downtown bridge. It was in
tended that the new bridge
would ease the traffic load at
other crossings and provide
additional crossing capacity.

appropriations for the conduct

The convention also APP

tain tax-free foundations

their sponsorship Of liberal

The case of the Girl Scouts
of America also came up for
debate at the meeting. Earlier
this year, the Illinois Legion
blasted the Girl Scouts for
circulating "one-world" propa-
ganda in its official Handbook
and other literature. Out of
this grew an Illinois decision
to withdraw call efforts to
secure contributions and mem
bership' for the Girl Scouts
until the youth group had de-
leted United Nations material.
This later was rescinded.
At Thursdays closing ses-
sion, the national convention
called on it's National Com
mander to offer the Girl
Scouts the Legion's co-opera-
ton in "implementing and
securing the reinsertion of the
deleted positive Americanism

ture. Then the delegates voted
to commend the Girl Scouts

accomplishments in educating
the girlhood of America in the

suffering from non-service-

The disqualification issue,
while never in doubt at the
convention, presages a major
struggle between two large and
powerful groups, the Legion
and the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. The ANA already
has. made clear it's opposition
to giving free hospital care to
veterans who fall i'll from
causes not connected with their
military service. The Legion
wants such care.
But while the veterans or
ganization pumped for hos
pitalization for n-service-
connected disabilities, it ex-
pressed agreement with the
AMA's historic stand against
"socialized" medicine.
Also in the field of veterans
affairs. the Legion took these
actions:
. Went on record as opposing
veterans benefits for mon
military veterans" such as men
with wartime service in the
merchant marine.
. Called for creation of a
Senate committee on veterans

New Skywoy Moy Make Gulf Coast Rival Miomi
BY Jerry Biizin

@ ST. PETERSBURG, Fla
Gateway to a new motoring
view of Florida--that's the
Sunshine Skyway. $21 million
span which opens tomorrow
to give new indignation to the
States growing Gulf Coast.
The Skyway leaps across IS
miles of Tampa Bay waters
and tiny islands to link st.
Petersburg with Bradenton
and Sarasota. On the south
ern terminus, the bridge route
connects with the Tamiami
Trail, direct route south to
Everglades National Park and
the lower East Coast.
One of the longest over
water crossings In the world,
the Skyway is the largest span
to use pre-stressed concrete
construction. This is concrete
which holds itself in tension
through use of self-contained
steel bars, giving far more
strength than customary rein
forced concrete.
Actually, the Skyway is a
series of unitS-Six causeways
and five bridges, capped by a
center span which rises $50
feet above the main Tampa
Bay ship channel, with a hori-
zontal clearance of 800 feet.
Nearly 4 million cubic yards
of fill had to be pumped UP
from the bay bottom to form
the causeways, while steel
workers hoated in their bridge
materials on barges during
construction.
Big Time Saver
Going over Tampa Bay via
the Skyway means about a
half-hour trip. Before that,
time spent meant either an
hour getting on and off the
ferry boats which piled the bay
or spending at least that much
time driving an extra SO miles
around Tampa to reach the
Bradenton-Sarasota side and
points south. In this respect
the new span is much like the
Chesapeake Bay bridge link
with the Eastern Shore.
West Coast Floridians hail
the bridge as a major event in
the growth of their area.
Their enthusiasm eliminates a
30-year wait for the bridge
which saw countless obstacles
block it's construction.
Their JOY has exploded in
wild celebrations throughout
the 10 Gulf Coast counties
who will benefit by the bridge.
