The House Appropriations
Committee, in approving the
District budget today, made its
biggest cuts in the city's public
works construction program.
Total capital outlay was cut
S6.l19,000 below the amounts
appropriated in the current
years budget. which ends June
80. and s6,173.20O below the
amounts requested for the next
fiscal year.
Much of the cut, however, rep
resented postponement in
granting of funds rather than
fiat disapproval.
The committee, for example,
postponed granting SIS million
to begin construction of the
Constitution avenue bridge
across the Potomac. which Con-
gresS authorized last year. The
committee noted that the Essen
hover administration is now at
tempting to decide whether the
crossing should be a tunnel or
bridge and said it hoped the
decision would be made before
the Senate completes action on
the budget. This could permit
restoration of the funds.
FirehOuSe Barred
Flatly denied was a S26O,OO0
request for a new fire engine
house at TWenty-fourth and
Irving streets Sc. The commit
tee explained the necessity of
an additional f1rehouse in an
area already Serviced by three
engine companies is questionable
and the committee has deleted
this request.
The committee also struckout
$430,000 for construction of a
warehouse at the Children's Cen
ter in Laurel. Md. saying it
should be deferred for at least
another year.
The committee also deferred
a request for $565 900 for addi-
tional planning and construction
funds for the projected police
women's bureau building.
The committee cut 100000 out
of the Rrecreation Departments
100000 request for land i'm
provement, structures and night
lighting equipment.
A $3,441, 900 request for con-
struction of a new youth cor
rectional center at Lawton was
slashed seven per cent-$241, 900.
The committee said it feels such
an amount can be absorbed
as a result of more vigorous COM
petitive bidding among construc-
ton contractors today"
The committee also diSalloWed
a Corrections Department re-
quest for S60,700 to buy 200 acres
of land near Lorton.
Move Cut 100000
Except for poStponement Of
the bridge and STRENGTHENING
projects in the Capitol area. the
Highway Department request for
100000 for street lighting was
cut to 100000; S1.55O,000 re-
quested for buying rights of way
was cut to $1,250,000, and
$2,8300O0 requested for street
improvements and extensions
was trimmed to $2.4 million.

toll. On this item again, the COM
mittee said it hopes that such
decisions will be made by the
time the accompanying bill is
considered in the Senate"
A request for $294.000 to con-
struct a proposed Wood Ridge
Branch library was denied with
this explanation in the commit
tee report:
During the hearings on the
request for funds for the con-
struction Of Wood Ridge Branch
Library, the librarian Harry N.
PetersonD was asked what the
result would be if the appropria-
ton was delayed a year.

11,sOO,OOO already this year
There will be 100000 by
1860, he said. The present East
Boston tunnel, he said is car
rying so per cent more traffic
than it was designed for and
will reach an absolute maxi
mum of IL, 100000 vehicles a
year by 1860.
A new tunnel would cause
less displacement of homes
and business than a proposed
bridge over the harbor and
cost less. Volpe said. He ad-
ded that the Central Artery is
designed to take traffic from
a new tunnel. A new bridge,
he said, would cost $10O,OO,000
A Port Authority, he said,
could build the needed facili-
ties and maintain present fa-
cilities out of tolls, leases and
revenues. He cited New York
which had spent 100000, 900 for
new harbor facilities and
built three tunnels without
cost to the taxpayers.
Would Not Include MTA
The MTA would not be in
cluded in the Authority until
it is in better financial shape,
Volpe said.
Van Ness Bates, Brookline
planning consultant said the
commission would recommend
the Mystic bridge and Summer
tunnel be merged in one au-
thority with provision for TAX
ing over other facilities later.
Sen. Daniel Rudsten of Bos-
ton urged a huge building
program to save Boston from
traffic strangulation.

of the South where Editor
Monroe Trotter risked his life
appearing in person in the
crusade to Iiberate the people

answer now.
SOME PEOPLE have existed

while selling the people down

truly noble and sacrificing
editors stood steadfast with
the people on every issue of
equal rights. They spurned
many an opportunity to pro-

They had many chances to
accumulate worldly wealth.

NATIONS CAPITOL, which
once had ears only for Book

citizenship, now is giving ad-
ded emphasis to the inereas-

WEST MEDFORD

The President of southern
de-segregated college, Rev.
Clyde C. Flannery Of Southern
Union College, Wadley, Ala
bama, was the key speaker
here in Medford, Nov. 18th,
Hast week Friday night, at the
50th anniversary dinner of
| the West Medford Congrega-
tional church Brotherhood; );
Dana S, Richardson, president
and S. Morrill, Mcdonald,
toaStmaster. During the re-
marks of the speaker, the Rev.
Mr.. Flannery revealed that
his college June 1854, by
vote of the college board, de-
creed that Southern U would
from thenceforth ban all
racial and religious discrimina-
ton and it became the first
white Protestant college in
Alabama to take that stand.
Rev. Flannery told how pre-
dictions were made that
Southern U would lose its en-
rollment and go out of buSi-
ness. But, he said, the COL
lege opened the fall quarter
in 1854 with a 25 percent in
crease in students, the largest
enrolment in the Schools
history. Dixiecrats were SO
angry at this unexpected in
de-segregation that in June
1855, a mob broke up an
inter-racial church meeting on
the Southern U campus.
Again prediction was made
that the college would lose its
students. But the college OPEN
ed last September with even
a larger enrolment than the
previous record term, said
President Flannery here last
week. The dynamic Alabama
school preXy concluded with
his conviction that segrega-
ton is not only undemocratic
but unChristian, and he is
convinced the south will lose
in its contest to retain seq
regated schools. Southern
Union college offers liberal
and industrial arts education
to young men and women of
the southeast who are not able
to attend more expensive
schools,
The Rev Mr.. Flannery made
the trip north specifically to
give the views of a southern
college favoring de-segraga-
ton, The officers and mem
bers of the w. Medford SCon-
