admission of guilt and stood in

Cites Tunnel Costs
In Asking President
To End Dispute
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE

President Eisenhower was
asked today by Representative
Broyhill, Republican, Of Virginia.
to take a personal hand in the
Potomac River bridge-tunnel
hassle and to urge immediate
construction of the bridge.
The Congressman, in a letter
to the President, noted that a
special White House committee
set up to try to iron out the
controversy has failed in its
task" and added:
IT request that you give i'm
mediate attention to this prob
lem and that you direct the Bu-
reau of the Budget to submit to
Congress as soon as possible an
estimate of the amount necessary
to begin the erection of another
bridge >. in the area previously
designated by Congress"
The bridge authorized last
year would cross the river as an
extension of Constitution ave-
nue.. NV. It's plans for handling
traffic have been agreed upon
by Federal planners and city
highway officials.
Tunnel Gets Support
The Fine Arts Commission
and Federal park officials have
urged a tunnel instead Of the
overwater span, however, be-
cause of a bridges impact on
esthetic values in the Lincoln
Memorial area.
Mr.. Broyhill wrote that he
did mot concur in the fear :.
that a bridge would mar the
beauty of the Nations capital"
He also said it was highly
improbable" that Congress would
approve a tunnel because its
cost would exceed that of q
bridge by about $28 million.
This mood of economy Is
merely a reflection of your own
policies to cut Government
spending to achieve a balanced
budget and a reduction in the
heavy tax load" the letter said.
Points to Hearings
Mr.. Broyhill said the start Of
Senate hearings this week on the
Districts budget for next year
would provide IAN excellent op-
Iportunity to obtain money for
the project" without the need
for a special appropriation re-
quest later.
He also said he understood
District Commissioner Samuel
Spencer planned to meet with
Budget Director Rowland
Hughes on the matter tomorrow.
He said this would provide San
other occasion for green light
from the administration"
He expressed a belief that Con.
gress was friendly to the bridge
idea" He said money to start
bridge construction was stricken
by the House only because of un-
certainty about the bridge-tunnel
Issues.
Additional spans across the
Potomac River" he said, "are
an urgent necessity and they be-
come more urgent with the pass

The threat of a milk drivers
and dairy workers strike here

day.
The agreement provides for a
one-year contract with a FIVE
cent-an-hour severance pay con-
tribution. a four-cent increase in

tribution by employers and three
weeks vacation after 10 years OF

Between 1000 and 1,700 mem
bers of Local 246 of the AFL
Teamsters Union met at Tur-
ner's Arena to ratify the pact.

agent, said.
Eight diaries, Chestnut Farms,
Embassy, Harvey, Lucerne. Alex
andria, Thompson's, Wakefield
and Richfleld. are included in

thorized a strike if agreement on
Ia new contract to replace one
which expired at midnight last
might could not be reached.
AS representatives of the union
and employers began a bargain
ing session at 10 am. yesterday
city officials began to discuss
emergency measures which could
be invoked to prevent black
marketing of milk and impose
Irationing of available supplies
in the event of a strike. An
emergency plan along these lines
was invoked by the city in an
|eight-day strike of milk drivers
and dairy workers in 1850.

sored by the Federal Mediation

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Camp for Boy Can Aid
FomiIy's Dark Times

Last October 26, Louise, age
9, lit a candle and crawled under
her bed in the three-room Alex
andria shanty which she shared
with her widowed mother and
her six brothers and sisters.
They had no electricity and
she was looking for the present
for which she'd saved up for
months in anticipation of her
mothers birthday the next day.
The candle caught the bed
clothes on fire, and before the
blaze was brought under con-
troll, her mother had been
burned and most Of the family's
belongings destroyed.
The fire was only one in a
series of misfortunes that have
beset the family since the death
Of their father of pneumonia
while in the service at Fort Ben
ming, Ga, in 1948.
Seven Children to Support
With seven children to sup
port, the mother did her best
to work wherever she could find
employment. But the strain of
working plus raising a family
proved too much, and the fol-
lowing year brought the first
of a series of illnesses that were
to recur more or less regularly
until her doctor forbade her to
work any more.
The City Welfare Department
did what it could. The mother
was granted $165 a month to
support her children. and an
effort was made to find adequate
housing for the family.
The best that could be done
was a three-room apartment
no hot water, no bath and an
outside toilet-for $50 a month.
Human kindness helped to
fill the gap the agencies left in
the family's life. The welfare
worker herself, according to the
mother. outfitted her three boys
with clothes from the welfare
workers nephew. Generous
neighborS contributed enough
clothes to take care of the four
girls.
The three older girls. who fell
between the ages of 8 and IL,
spent two weeks at Camp Pleas
ant, the first real holiday"
they'd ever had.
1T was fun" said Georgia, the
eldest. 1--WE swan and looked at
poison ivy and made baskets"

Schools Ruling

BALTIMORE, June 7 R.-
The United States Solicitor Cen
eral said last night the latest
segregation ruling of the Su-
preme Court sets forth a "ra-
tional, moderate and firm policy
which will, in the long run.
appeal to most people of both
races as just and attainable."
II know" said Simon E. Sobe-
loft, that there are many sim
cere people who would have
wished the court to order a COM
plete abandonment of the exist
ing system forthwith, or at least
that a more specific time table
had been indicated. Doubtless
such a course can be defended
on strictly logical grounds. but
problems of government do not
lie exclusively in the realm of
logic.
1T is surely no desertion of
principle to recognize practical
difficulties in order to achieve
sound and desirable results"
Mr.. Sobeloff spoke at COM
mencement for 235 graduates of
Morgan State College, a Negro

The Supreme Courts decision
of last year banning racial seq
regation in public schools and

menting the decision lift our
hopes for the future Of Amer

SATURDAY, DECEMBER "a. 1855
OF SENATOR HODGE TO CONG COM.
Continued from yesterday

Continued from yesterday
There is no better time than now to personally request
of your Commute that you take immediate steps now to see
that the intent Of the Congress be carried out by the officials
Of the Department Of the Interior and in the local admins
tration to see. to it that theses Internal revenues be immed-
lately released to create work 70 rour unemployed, to pur-
rhase supplies for our Medical and Educational Institutions
and that our Road program be started Immediately.
Congressman Aspinal, this is the worst Christmas Sea-
son that the people of the Virgin Islands has spent since the
days of the Hoover Administration.
Millions Of dollars that the Congress Of the United States
have appropriated for the people Of the Virgin Islands are
lying useless in the banks.
At this time | want to discuss principally the political
situation especially as it pertains to the relationship between
the Government of the United States and the people OF the
Virgin Islands. The subject ! know is an extremely delicate
one and wish to discuss it as it has never been discussed
before because / believe now is the time for plain speaking.
am going to discuss the matter in detail, openly and frank
" with no holds barred.
Mr.. Chairman, we Virgin Islanders are peaceful, honest
law-abiding, hardworking, intelligent American citizens who
are eager to and do assume the responsibilities OF American
citizenship justs as we expect to be treated as flrst class cltr
zens of the United States. Here you will find no subversiye.
elements; here in these Islands communism is unknown, here
every Virgin Islander is a loyal, faithful American citizen.
AS said in my welcome address at the Inauguration OF
His Excellency Governor Gordon whom the people OF these
Virgin Islands hold in very high esteem. / am sure you have
heard much Governor Gordon in the past few weeks OF the
dissatisfaction of the people of the Virgin Islands over the
the new Organic Act which was passed last year. | would
like to approach it from an angle completely different from
the discussions you may have heard during the past Jew days
in Washington. It is quite true that the people OF the virgin
Islands and their elected representatives feel that certain
provisions of the organic act have tended TO deprive tnelr
elected representatives of certain of their just powers and
have vested more powers in the hands of the Executive. But
these mistakes can and will be corrected at the proper time.
However, the most significant dissatisfaction Of the people
