Senate Leaders Hope
To Vote by Thursday
On Statehood Bill
BY J. A. O'Leoy

Senate leaders are hopeful of
reaching a vote by Thursday on
the combined Hawaiian-Alaskan
statehood bill. with good. pros
poets Of passage.
The opponents are making a
last stand for a substitute that
would give the two territories
commonwealth status, unde
which they would have greater
degree of home rule and control
over their own taxes.
But the leaders of the opposi-
ton say they have no desire to
prevent a vote on the statehood
bill after their substitute is dis-
posed of
House Attitude.
Even if the Senate approves
statehood for both territories. the
big question mark will be the at
titude of the House. That cham
Der has approved Hawaii but not
Alaska.
Some Senate opponents Of
statehood believe the House may
kill the bill rather than approve
Alaska at this time. Others see
a possibility that Alaska will be
eliminated in a joint conference
committee.
If that happens, the conference
report would have to be voted
on in both houses. At that time,
Senate opponents would have an
other opportunity to block action
on Hawaii alone. especially if the
conference report comes back in
midsummer when other impor-
tant legislation is piling UP.
Fulbright Urges Substitute. g.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
of Arkansas took the floor yester-
day to urge the commonwealth
substitute as q safer course at
this time.
Senator Fulbright did not take
the position that Hawaii and
Alaska should never become
States. But he said the admission
of non-contiguous areas as
States is without precedent and
If it proved a mistake under
present world conditions it would
be irrevocable.

statements that many people who
live south of Arlington boulevard
would not get major benefits
from an E street bridge. He also,
in a series of questions, tried to
get Mr.. Bartholomew to express a
choice between the Reaches Run
and Jones Point bridges.
"2 Types of Medicine"
Mr.. Bartholomew said the two
served different purposes and
that ''if person has a bad cold
and an upset stomach he has to
take two different types of medi-
cine" He said the commission
has not made a priority choice
between the two. He said he was
reluctant to give a personal view
but that from an actual relief
OF congestion standpoint the
Reaches Run bridge would prob
ably do more than any other we
could build at the present time"
The chairman explained that
his group actually feels four.
bridges are needed-JoneS Point
and Cabin John span for the
"outer belt" connections and
Reaches Run plus a new span
upriver from Key Bridge to tie
into the inner belt system.
Mr.. Kearns asked Mr.. Barthol-
omew who he thought should
have the responsibility for set
Ting disputes over priority as
well as location Of bridges. The
witness said that position would
have to be left to Congress.
las usual - replied the
chairman, shaking his head.
Purpose of Group Cited.
Later Gen. Grant told Mr..
Kearns that Congress- intention
in setting up the planning COM
mission in 1926 was that it, with
a membership of Federal, Dis
trict and citizen leaders, should
be the agency to resolve such
differences.
do you mean that we should
accept this decision rather than
any other because of tradition?"
Mr.. KearnS asked.
Gen. Grant said he obviously
agreed with the commissions
stand and that he thought it's
reasoning on the bridge dispute
was sound.
The hearing was recessed
shortly before noon. Tomorrow
witnesses will present opposition
testimony to the Reaches Run
plan.

Churchill Supports
U. 5. H-Bomb Tests;
| Sees War Deterrent
BY the Asseeiotad Prsss

LONDON, Mar. 30.-Prime
Minister Churchill today threw
his support behind the United
States hydrogen bomb tests in
the Pacific and said American
possession Of the H-bomb "pro-
vides the greatest possible de-
terrent against the outbreak Of
a third world war"
Addressing House Of Com
mons deeply concerned over the
threat to humanity from hydro
gen warfare, the 79-year-old
leader rejected Laborite demands
that ne try to persuade the
United States to halt further
H-bomb tests. He said:
"We should be doing a great
disservice to the free world if
we sought in any way to impede
the progress of our American
allies in building up their over
whelming strength in the wea-
pom which provides the greatest
possible deterrent against. the
outbreak of a third world war"
He told the House there is no
foundation for fears that the
American hydrogen tests would
get out Of control and cause
widespread injury or death in
the Pacific. He assured the House
that United States authorities
will continue to take the most
rigorous precautions to min
imize the risks involved" and re-
jected Laborite demands for in
ternational consultation on con-
troll over future tests.
He said restrictions imposed.
by United States law would make
such control impracticable.
Even if this were not so I
should not myself be ready to
propose it," he said. 1--WE have
no power to stop this.
I can say from our own
scientific knowledge that there is
no foundation for the suggestion
that these explosions are meal
culable in the sense that those
making the tests are unable to
set limits to the explosive power
of the bomb or to calculate in
advance what the main effects
will be-"

nate downtown location for the
E street project. which they
have opposed bitterly for two
years. Tomorrow, District Of
ficials get their chance to an
swer the Reaches Run argu-
mentS.
Mr.. Bartholomew contended
the greatest growth in Virginia
Is expected south of Arlington
boulevard (and closer to Alex
andria) where a Reaches Run
bridge would help most. On the
District side, he argued that
unlike the E street bridget
would funnel traffic east of the
White House in areas with the
highest land values. business
properties that need strength
ening. most parking facilities
and the highest volume of Fed
eral employment in permanent
buildings.
Would Meet Freeway.
The bridge would cross the Po-
tomac and East Potomac Park
link with Washington Channel
bridge and tie into a proposed
Southwest IF street, freeway.
From this limited access road
way. Mr.. Bartholomew argued,
traffic could filter into the city
on a number of north-south
| streets.
In Virginia, the bridge would
have two connections. It would
tie into the Pentagon network.
| 1t also would lead into a new
highway along the Potomac as
far as Four-Mile Run, west of
the Potomac Yards.
John Nolen, jr., planning COM
mission director. said this entire
construction. including the Vir-
GINA approaches, would cost
1858 million-about Sc million
less than estimated cost of the E
street span and approaches.
Belt Roads Planned.
Mr.. Nolen said TINS takes ad-
vantage of plans already in
preparation for the Washington
channel bridge, a Potomac Yards
overpass and eventual construc-
ton OF Four-Mile Run express
way. which does not now exist.
The Four Mile. Run road
shows on planning boards as one
OF three belt roads which would
encircle the area and intersect
major radial highways heading
toward Washington. A second
belt road would sweep from
Jones Point to Cabin John. The
third is an Inner belt" within
Washington. of which the South
west freeway is a part.
Mr.. Bartholomew, noting that
his group feels such circular
routes are essential Immediately,
argued that the Reaches Run
bridge would feed directly into
two OF the three planned.

publican of Virginia, challenged
