Ex-D. C.. White Girl to Get
Degree at Fisk University

An attractive 23-year-old for

to become the first white student
in more than so years to receive
a degree from q Southern Negro
college.
Miss Mary G. Howard was to

every five yearS-operateS on q
ratio Of about 100 to /. meaning
that it would take 100 turns of
the crank to lift one of the leaves
less than an inch.
There are two 55-horsepower
motors, used separately. They
have brakes which last 10 years
or more and which automatically
clamp on in an emergency.
There are "dead-man" switches
such as locomotives use. If the
operator lifts his foot of during
a bridge operation, everything
stops.
Although the two spans are as
different in type as a ferry boat
and an airplane, the method of
operation Is similar.
The South Capitol bridge is
believed to be the longest swing
span plate girder in the world.
The Fourteenth street structure
is the bascule type with leaves
lifting up.
Similar on Both.
However, a typical bridge
opening is similar on both.
The bridge operators first no.

craft is usually visual. Although
he has a telephone and radio
telephone in his tower, the
equipment does not include ship
to-shore communication.

receives an answer from the
tower.
The operator turns to his con-
troll panel, flips on the power
switch, turns on the vehicle traf-
fic red lights, sounds the bells
and starts closing the barrier
gates.
Evening star., 1954-05-31

Another switch pulls up the
steel safety barrier.
Still another draws the shear
locks which lock the leaves to
the main structure. Brakes are
released on the motor and an
other turn of the control starts
the leaf movement.
Despite all the weight being
lifted, the faint hum of the
motor gives the operator and
bridge guards a brief respite
from the traffic roar. Still pres
ent is the sound of aircraft. At
the Fourteenth street bridge,
it is the takeoff from National
Airport.
At South Capitol it is Boiling
Air Force Base and the Naval
Air Station. Air traffic there
even had its hand in the squatty
silhouette of the bridge structure
itself.
SometlmeS-but not often
there is still another diScordant
sound, complaints for irate
motorists who have been delayed
by the bridge opening.
Gordon Cross at the Four
teenth street bridge, supervisor
there since its opening, has had
his share. So has Leroy Fletcher
at South Capitol.
"It's bad enough to have COM
plants when we open up to let
a vessel through, but when we
try to pick slack traffic time tc
break in a new man at the con-
trols. then we really have trouble
convincing driver that we have
to do it," Mr.. Cross smiled
patiently.

The brake bands last 10 years

It operates smoothly on IS

II you want one just like it,

With the exception Of the ave-
some asking price. those might

For sheer ponderous-precision
gadgetry, there's nothing quite
like it in town, unless it is the

Of the South Capitol street bridge
over the AnacoStia.
Now. there's a bargain if you
buy it in the summertime-heat
expansion makes it three inches
longer in summer than in winter.
Both bridges are four years old

Actually, either bridge can halt
