Nations Capital. But Park
Service officials point out that
the appropriation legislation
passed in 1850 specifically
states that the parkway was
to provide q dignifled. pro-
tected, safe and suitable ap-
proach for passenger-vehicle
traffic to the National Capt.
tai :"
On that basis, the Park
Service had the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads construct its sec
ton of the, parkway with a
surface thickness Federal Of
ficials felt to be more than
adequate for passenger cars.
Park officials don't argue that
their road would stand up un-
der the heavy. day-to-day
truck trafiic borne on the
Maryland section. but they feel
it would take all the heavy
vehicles Fort Meade could mus
ter In an emergency.
With Maryland's attitude
being what 1t is toward the
parkway title transfer, how
ever, it would seem that the
best hope Of relief for most Of
the boulevard communities
lies in the new Kenilworth
avenue Edmonston road prof.
oct.
When that dual artery is
completed, trucks will be able
to leave the Baltimore boule-
yard at Greenbelt road and
enter the District that way,
thus avoiding the business
sections of College Park. River
dale. Hyattsville. Cottage City
and Colmar Manor.
Road builders eventually
nope to extend the new,
dual Edmonston road further
northward to connect with the
boulevard in the Beltsv1lle-
Muirkirk section. That would
enable truck traffic to miss

ties now campaigning so hard

New Bridge

BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Genial J. N. Jack Robert
son, director of the District
Highway Department and
president of the American
Road Builders Association.
went over TO the Mayfower
Hotel last week and told the
District Trucking Association
about some Of his problems.
In the process he touched
on one Of the most complex
political tricks there is-how
to build a bridge in Washing
ton.
One measure Of the time
consuming nature Of such a
project is demonstrated by the
history Of the recently opened
East Capitol Street Bridge.
While construction took only
two and a half years or so.
planning and locating it was a
diplomatic process which
started six years ago.
The current project, Of
course. is construction Of an
other bridge across the Poto-
mac River in the neighbor-
hood Of Theodore Roosevelt
Island
Three years ago, Mr.. Rob-
ertson pointed out, the High
way Department originally
proposed that the bridge
simply extend due west from

the idea and was subsequently
defeated at the polls, not that
the two facts are necessarily
related.
White Elephant
In the eyes of most con-
cerned Maryland officials. Mr..
McKay's gift remains a white
elephant. That's because it
would cost 100000 to $4,000
a year to maintain, the State
Roads Commission estimates,
and would require an initial
expenditure Of more than 81
million to bring the Federally
built section Of the parkway
up to State standards.
The Federal section Of the
parkway was not built to take
the beating from heavy trucks
that the 11-mile Maryland
section between Baltimore and
Jesslp has to bear.
Maryland allows trucks on
all its roads. Bills to ban
trucks on the Maryland part
of the parkway were defeated
in the 1853 and 1855 Legisla-
lures. Federal law prohibits
trucks from the Federal sec
ton and Mr.. Mckay said he
sees little chance of Congress
amending that law.
Maryland put 10 inches OF
concrete over a heavy sub
base on its portion of the road,
and engineered the inter-
change ramps to accommodate
the huge tractor -trailerS that
would be using them. The
Federal part has a thinner
subbase overlaid by eight
inches of concrete.
Defense or Pleasure?
Congress was sold the idea,
in initially appropriating
money for the construction of
the parkway, that 1t was need

competent man In the House
as Speaker.
There was O moment Of high
tragedy In the House In 1851
when Gen. Douglas Macarthur
made an old soldiers farewell
to Q joint session Of Congress.
But that moment was spoiled
in retrospect by the generals
failure to fade.
Doyist Forewell
There was a more fitting
climax to the exit In 1851 of
Senator Jefferson Davis of
Mississippi. Other Southern
Congressman walked out be-
fore Davis and after him, but
his was the farewell that was
symbolic of the breakup of the
Union. Tears were shed freely
as he said good-hy and then
walked QUITO defend the
right Of State sovereignty, he
said: to defend the right to
enslaye his fellow men. North
ern Senators said.
Members of that 36th Con-
gress died on both sides Of the
war that followed.
In President Truman's Sec
ond term an occasional Con-
gresham muttered darkiy
about Impeachment, but no
one listened, In 1868. however,
Representative Thaddeus
Stevens of Pennsylvania ruled
a House still imbittered by the
Civil War. and he secured an
impeachment of President
Johnson--ostensibly because
the President fred his Sec
retary Of War. but actually be-

Mr.. Boykin's book calls the
impeachment and the Senate
trial Congress greatest spec

in the conflict. of course. but
Stevens and his henchmen
combed history books for extra
theatrical fiourishes which
they thought would engrave
the Presidents disgrace for
ever in the Nations mind.
They were wrong by one
vote.
Those were dramatic days,
gone perhaps forever, but gone
at least as long as Americas
maturity and unity is reflected
in the halls Of Congress.
