Case Reports
Agreement on
'24th ST. Span
Bridge Would Cross
Potomac Just Below
Roosevelt Island

Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee disclosed to-
day that full agreement has been
reached by area highway, park
and planning officials on loca-
ton of new downtown bridge
that would cross the Potomac
just downriver from Roosevelt
Memorial Island and tie into
Twenty-fourth street NV. in
the District.
He said the agreement was
reached at a breakfast meeting
at the Cosmos Club today at
tended by Senator Case. District
Engineer Commissioner Louis w.
Prentiss. National Park Service
Director Conrad With and Har-
land Bartholomew. chairman Of
the National Capital Planning
Commission.
Agree on Other Span.
At the same time, the Sena-
tor disclosed that Gen. Prentisx
and Mr.. Bartholomew had agreed
tentatively on solutions to other
controversies that include:
/. Construction Of a second
bridge from Reaches Run, Va,
to tie into Twelfth street NV.
in lieu of District plans to re-
build the old trestle- topped
Fourteenth street bridge at its
present location. Presumably
as part of the Fourteenth street
bridge complex-the new Reaches
Run bridge would carry Vir-
ginia hound Potomac traffic and
the existing new Fourteenth
street bridge would continue to
handle city-bound traffic.
2. Reconstruction of Twenty
fourth street NV. as a full
expressway" from the new down.
town bridge connection as far
north as r street NV. The
plan, Senator Case indicated, il
to have the rebuilt street serve
as the western leg of the city's
proposed elmer belt road sys-
tenn" The location previously
has been in conflict.
3. Construction of q tunnel
beneath the Mall west of Lincoln
Memorial through which Twen-
ty-fourth street would connect
with the new downtown bridge.
This would obviate a maze OF
above ground construction on
the Mall--highly Objectionable
to park officials.
Seeks to End Deadlock.
The new compromise location
for a downtown bridge is the
latest in series of efforts by
Senator Case to find a compro-
mise to a problem long dead
locked between highway and
planning officials.
Last week a Senate subcom-
mittee' approved Case-compro-
mise bill calling for a span lead
ing from New Hampshire avenue
NV. and crossing South Island
"a small spit of land at the
southern tip of Roosevelt Me-
mortal Island.
Earlier efforts by District Of
ficials to get an E street bridge
which would cross Roosevelt
Island proper were defeated
largely by opposition from the
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Association, which. commended
the crossing would be an illegal
encroachment on the island
wilderness.
The New Hampshire avenue
compromise was doubtful, how
ever, because the Roosevelt
Island people also opposed the
crossing of South Island-tech-

Mcmillan Holds Key
To Alley Homes Bill,
Predicts Passage
Books Measure Despite
His Delaying Action in
Behalf Of Gas Station

Whether the renovatolx and
occupants Of several score alley
dwellings here are to be booted
sumrnarily out OF their expensive
homes by next July hinges on
one Representative. who has
blocked legislation that would let
them stay.
And, paradoxically. this Repre-
sentative today announced him
self in favor Of that very bill.
Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat, of South Carolina is
the key legislator.
Two days ago, Mr.. Mcmillan
tackled onto the bill to repeal
parts of the Alley Dwelling Act
a rider that would rezone, hence
allow reconstruction ON, property
now occupied by an antiquated
gasoline filling station at Massa-
chusetts and Wisconsin avenues
NV.
Vetoed Last Year.
The South Carolinian admit
tedly took the step as bar
gaining point" to get his filling
station project through. APP
proved by both House and Sem
ate last year. legislation to re-
zone this, as well as a Sixteenth
street property similarly occupied
by dilapidated filling station ia
cilities, was vetoed by President
Eisenhower last year.
Both these properties were in
existence in 1920 when the Dis
tfict Zoning Act was passed. The
act permitted continuance Of
these "non-conforming" coming
uses provided no structural
changes were made.
Mr.. Mcmillan said today he
regards the repeal bill as ''nec-
eSsary."
He said, moreover, he has al
ways been in favor Of it.
Predicts Passage.
And, Notwithstanding his
blocking move last Monday when
he successfully raised q point of
order on the House floor, he said
he believes the bill will be passed
before adjournment OF this con-
gresSional session.
The South Carolinian blocked
the measure by pointing out that
the House District Committee
lacked a quorum when it reported
the bill out last Thursday. The
same quorum-less committee re-
ported q number of other Dis
trict's bills without challenge

the Chinese mainland is returned
to the side of the free world, an

DR.. Rhee said such an attack

DR.. Rhee told Congress, lis not

not by trusting that somehow
the Soviet government may be
persuaded to abandon its mon

world: not by cringing and ap-

by swinging the world balance
Of power SO storngly against
the Communists that, even when
they possess the weapons of an

The Korean leader declared

/ Mrs. L. E. G. of Long Island
wants to know where we got the
saying, It's better to have loved
and lost than never to have loved
at all.
This thought is one that finds
many parallels in literature. both
ancient and modern. Perhaps the
best-known is Tennyson's stanza
from In Memoriam"::
I hold it true. whate'er befall:
/ feel 1t. when I sorrow most;
IT'S better to have loved and
lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Thackeray expressed the idea
thus: 1T is better to love wisely.
no doubt: but to love foolishly
is better than not to be able to
love at ALL"
The earliest reference I have
found goes back to Seneca,
Roman philosopher and writer:
Rejoice more greatly over the
fact that you have a friend than
sorrow because he dies"

Mr.. Meek made his bid by
means of an end-play. There
was an effective line of defense
against that play but Mr.. Muzzy
didn't see it. incidentally. I
think one reason why many
players have such an aversion
to dropping a king "unnecesSar-
ily' under an opposing ace is
that they have a subconscious
fear of what partner will say"
But what can partner say,
when it can be shown that such
a play could not possibly lose
and might gain?
Mr.. Muzzy led the king of dia-
monds and it was permitted to
win. The queen of diamonds fol-
lowed and Mr.. Meek won with
dummy's ace. He led the deuce
of hearts from the board and
finessed the ten when Mr. Abel
ducked
Mr.. Muzzy won with the jack
and returned his last heart. Mr..
Abel ducked again "a bad play
and Mr. Meek won with the
king.
He now cashed four spades.
Mr.. Muzzy followed suit three
times. then discarded the trey
of diamonds. Mr. Abel had to
make two discards and he chose
two small hearts.
Next came the king of clubs
and here Mr.. Muzzy had to drop
the jack or queen. He was down
to his original three clubs and
the jack-nine of diamonds. His
side had won just. two tricks.
They needed three more. Obvi-
ously he could win only one club
and one diamond-since the
guarded ten of diamonds was still
on the board.
It was now obvious to Mr..
Muzzy. On the king of clubs he
played the trey. Mr.. Meek then
and Mr.. Muzzy was in. He cashed
the jack of diamonds, but
dummy's ten took the game
going trick.
If Mr.. Muzzy had unblocked
the queen and jack of clubs on
the leads of the ace and king,
Mr.. Abel would have won the
last three tricks.

Red China Snubs US. Protests Over Attacks Off Hainan

WASHINGTON, R-Red China has rejected-by refusing even to consider-twin United States pro- tests against Communist fighter attacks on British and American planes off Hainan Island.
 The State Department announced Thursday that official word of the Red rebuff has been received from the British government which acted as intermediary. The department asserted:
 "The situation will not be per mitted to rest there."
 Press Officer Henry Suydam, who made the statement for the department, did not disclose what further steps may be contemplat- ed. Suydam said Ambassador Winthrop Aldrich at London re- ported he was informed at the British Foreign Office that the American protest had not been accepted.
 The Chinese Foreign Office even returned the protest notes, in this case designated as "aide- memories" to the British.
 The Chinese Communists took the position that the affair of the British plane was a matter of proper spconcern for the British government, but that the attack on the American carrier aircraft was just what they had claimed in press statements-the result of a violation" of Chinese territory.
 A British airliner was shot down July 23 and three American citizens were lost. On July 26 two US. carrier planes searching the areas for survivors were at tackled by two Chinese Commit hist aircraft. The Americans re- turned the fire and shot down the Red planes.
