Evening star., 1954-06-05
By George Beveridee

More than anything else, a
House subcommittee's approval
Of the proposed Jones Point
bridge this week pointed up the
futility Of disputes between
highway and planning officials.
Alexandria's Jones Point prof.
ect. emerging as a sort Of COM
promise answer to the bitter
two-year bridge battle, is about
as controversial as Mothers
Day.
Every one wants it, there's no
question about that. The Alex
andria span would give the area
its first real bypass of the city,
It would make travel between
Virginia and the Anacostia Sec
ton a breeze. And the Federal
Government would pay for most
Of it.
But the votes apparent effect
was to postpone indefinitely the
No. need-a new central bridge
in the downtown area.
Highway officials and the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission took their squabble over
a downtown site to the Capitol,
and didn't resolve it there. The
subcommittee answered, Chair
man Kearns as much as said:
If the city's experts can't decide
what they want, what's Con-
gress to do? Why should it
give them anything?
Opposition Too Great.
In some past projects, high
way officials have convinced Con-
gress to override the planners
objections. But coupled with
strong complaints about the E
street BRIDGES crossing of Roose-
welt Memorial Island, the op-
position this time was too much.
AS for Jones Point, Virginia's
Representative Broyhill maneu-
vered an affirmative vote by re-
.quiring that Maryland and Vir-
ginia pay for the bridges neceS-
sary approach roads.

This Week in Area Planning
Jones Point Span Decision
DELAYS Central D. G. Bridge

The big question to be answer
ed is: Will Congress authorize
the $14.9 million needed to pay
for the bridge proper?
DR.. Homer Hoyt's long awaited
economic study report for Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties, the word went out this
week, won't be ready until Sep
tember.
The report, which officials
hope will give them a guide to
population and land-use trends
for the next two decades, was to
have been released this month.
The extension, they said. will
permit DR.. Hoyt to further de-
velop some key points.
Here are some of them:
More detailed analyses of as
sessment policies in the two
counties. Ratios of family in
comes to home prices as an in
dex to the stability of residential
communities. More data on
county revenue estimates, based
on future population and de-
velopment. Steps the counties
should take to encourage spe-
cific kinds of development.
Near by Maryland's inter-
county belt route cleared a
hurdle this week when the Army
decided against locating a de-
fense base in the roads path
near Greenbelt.
Next Thursday and Friday,
the Planning Commission will
take up a bigger hurdle-design
plans for the road in Rock Greek
Park between Wisconsin avenue
and Forest Glen.
If the plans are approved,
they are expected to be sent
straight to Federal court. They'll
be used to help the court decide
on a property owners suit chal-
longing the road as being incon-
sistent with legal park uses.

Youth Faces Hearinq
On BIackmai| Charqe

A 20-year-old youth today
faced a Municipal Court hear
ing on a blackmail charge after
a sailor told police he had paid
out nearly $500 and his car on
threat the Navy would be told
he was a homosexual.
Police said there was no rec
ord or evidence to indicate the
sailor was a homosexual. His
explanation for yielding to
blackmail was that he feared
his Navy career would be jeop-
ardized after II years of service.
Capt. Richard McCarty, head
of the robbery squad, said the
accused blackmailer, William c..
Hines, jr., of the 300 block of
Thirty-seventh place Sc, adj
mitted to police that he had been
living off blackmail activities
for months.
Capt. McCarty said the sailor
told police he had met two men
in Lafayette Park and went to
have a beer with them. He said
in the course of the ride they
identified themselves as police
officers and threatened to ar
rest him as a homosexual or
tell the Navy about him.
The sailor told police he gave
the pair $1O0 on the next payday,
$35 and his car on April 8, bor-
rowed $100 from a loan company
to meet the next demand from
Hines and finally went to police
after another demand for $50.
Police arrested Hines in Fair
lawn Park yesterday after the
sailor had given Hines $40 in
marked money.

Star Stoff Correspondent

LA PLATA, Md, May 15.-
Discovery that wheelchair used
by Louis A. Hicks was mysteri-
ously battered today posed a new
enigma to police probing the
death Of the 34-year-old dis
abled war veteran.
The chair, with both wheels
bent and one foot rest smashed
out of line. was seized by au-
thorities last night from the back
porch of the victims home on
Simms Landing road near Nc
Conchie.
Police theorized that the dam
age could have resulted from
pounding the chair on a hard
surface or by rolling it down a
set of stairs while it was oc-
cupied.
Mr.. Hicks 1850 sedan, equip
ped for operation by the one
time sergeant, paralyzed from
the waist down from wounds re-
ceived in the Battle of the Bulge,
crashed into his home on March
%. His body was found in the
wreckage and his death was
listed as an accident.
Versions Differ, Police Say.
Mrs. Dorothy Hicks, his 25-
year-old-wife. told police the
crash occurred about 4 am. and
that she lay stunned in the car
for more than an hour before
she was able to telephone nearby
relatives. Later. she gave differ
ent versions, police said the dead
mans sisters said.
Police also disclosed yesterday
that a sports shirt caked with
blood had been found behind the
Hicks home.
