1--WE hardly dare criticize ear
lier Congresses, however, for
there was great vision exercised
back in 1890 when Congress made
possible the creation and contin-

Park, a preservation of magnifi-

by similar possession Of any other
great city in the world.

Senate Move Asks
Delay in Extending
Route 24O Into Park

A Senate resolution yesterday
asked for a delay in the contro-
versial extension of Route 240
into Rock Greek Park until Con-
gress has had time to consider
the problem.
The measure, introduced by
Chairman Murray of the Senate
Interior Committee; Senator
Neuberger. Democrat, Of oregon,
and Republican Senators Dwar-
shak of Idaho and Malone OF
Nevada, will be referred to the
Interior Committee. Senator
Murray plans to stage public
hearings.
The JOINT resolution spoke OF
the threat to Rock Creek Park
and to the Greater National
Capital area and raised the
question whether present law is
sufficient to preserve Rock Greek
Park from "encroachment."
Sought Delay Previously.
Senator Murray last December
directed a letter to the National
Capital Planning Commission in
which he. sought delay such as
was proposed in the resolution
today.
The park stretch lies between
Wisconsin avenue and Forest
Glen and plans calling for the
section to be built to parkway
characteristics were approved q
year ago by the commission.
Accordingly. Maryland road
builders contracted for a design
of the parkway and improve
mentS to the park itself.
Writ Plea Failed.
Legal action brought by resi-
dents near the park section. was
dismissed in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia and is now being appealed.
The Federal Court rejected a
move for an injunction to halt
progress on the project.

the group. which Is to advise
Mr.. Mitchell on labor legislation
and other matters. All except
the AFL have named their rep
resentatives.
5 Leaders Criticize Mitchell.
So far union leaders have been
extremely critical of Mr..
Mitchell. For example, the
council yesterday accused him
of installing new and novel
gimmicks to undermine estab-
lished prevailing union construc-
ton trade wages" in administer
ing the Davis-Bacon Act. Under
that law the Labor Secretary
fixes wages rates and working
conditions binding on contrac-
tors on Government-aided con-
struction projects.
| In Washington, Mr.. Mitchell
quickly took issue with the AFL
stand. He said in a statement
issued last night that the AFL
completely ignored the record, T"
that its Executive Council had
been nisinformed.
During the last fiscal year
(Which ended June 3d." said Mr..
Mitchell, 40 contractors engaged
on Government work were black
listed by the Department Of La
Dor for violating the provisions
Of the Labor Standards Acts.
These contractors were barred
from receiving further Federal
contracts. This is more than
twice the total number who were
blacklisted during the past 20
years.
1.-THE AFL Executive Council
may call this 'glmmick.' call
it effective enforcement of the
law"
Other Charges Made.
The council said Mr.. Mitchell
was fixing rates below union
standards and was also refusing
to support legislation to provide
more rigid enforcement. The
AFL leaders said workers were
being cheated out of millions in
wages rightfully theirs under the
law.
When it was pointed out that
Mr.. Mitchell had installed c. R.
Gray, son of President Richard
Gray of the AFL Building and
Construction Trades Department,
| to head Davis-Bacon Act enforce
ment in the Labor Department.

said the younger Gray had quit

.AFL Asks Congress
To Boost Payments
For JobIess Workers
sy the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH. Fla, Feb. 2.
-AFL leaders said today that
polite appeals" from President
Eisenhower to States to boost
unemployment compensation
payments have failed and it is
time for Congress to impose
higher benefit levels.
An increase both in the
amount Of BENEFITS and their du-
ration for jobless workers was
advanced by the AFL executive
council at winter session here
as a major step toward main
tanning the Nations purchasing
power.
The council said the revisions
are particularly needed now be-
cause the AFL expects unern-
ployment, measured by the latest
Government count at 2,838, 600
in December, to rise to 3.5 or 4
million in February or March.
At present States pay an aver
age $25 per week to workers in
sured by the unemployment in
surance system. Mr.. Eisenhower
has twice called on States to
raise the payments to equal half
a workers regular pay for as
long as 26. weeks. or half "a year,
of unemployment.
Moves Get Nowhere.
Few States have needed Mr..
EisenhoWer's advice. There
have been. several attempts to
have Congress boost bnefits, in
cluding one last year. but they
have never gotten very far.
Some CIO unions are attempt
ing to get supplementary job
less pay from employers through
demands for the guaranteed an
nual wage.
Meanwhile. it was learned that
the 10-million- member AFL has
refused, out Of dissatisfaction
with the policies Of Secretary Of
Labor Mitchell, to appoint rep
resentative to a labor advisory
council which Mr.. Mitchell is
trying to form.
The AFL. CIO. United Mine
Workers Union and the inde-
pendent railroad unions were in
vited to name representatives to

to delay action on the inter-
county belt parkway until the
National Capital Planning Com
mission meets.
The Maryland group replied
that substantial contractural
commitments already have been
made and that it has no power
to require the State Roads Com
mission to hold up any further
commitments.
Murray Statement.
Interior Chairman Murray. in
a formal statement issued late
yesterday, made clear that his
committee has responsibility for
legislation affecting the national
park system" and that Rock
Greek Park here was a part of
that system.
He recalled that in the past
Congress former Senator Guy
Gordon. Republican. of Oregon.
then chairman of the Interior
Committee. called attention to
the proposed extension of certain
Maryland highways through
Rock Greek Park.
cat least one of the plans
enyiSioned the creation of a new
six-lane speedway through Rock
Greek Park" Senator Murray
recalled. He added: This mod
ern super-speed highway, while
bearing the name of parkway /,
would, Of course. destroy in its
area the park for scenic and rec
reational purposes for which it
was intended"
The Interior Committee then
authorized its chairman to make
an inquiry into the situation.
But the 83d Congress recessed
before this was completed. How
ever, Senator Murray continued,
reports received by Senator Cor
don indicated that "the threat
to the park may be very real.
indeed"
Letter From Cramton.
In his presentation to the
Senate, Chairman Murray in
cluded a brief history of Rock
Greek Park legislation and a let
ter from Louis Cramton. one OF
the authors of the Capper-
Cramton Act which set UP A.

developments in and near the

Must Meet Challenge.
Congress could not wisely
deny the use of Rock Greek Park
for crossings by commercial
highways. Many crossings al
ready exist and more will doubt
less be needed. But Congress
ought to give most serious con-
sideration to the challenge which
now prevails in the form OF plans
which would let expressways and
speedways Tin this modern day
sometimes called parkways) not
just cross the park but run
through it lengthwise. That chal-
lenge allegedly exists at this time
with respect to the reaches of
Rock Greek Park both In the
District and in Maryland.
Hearings which the Interior
Committee probably will hold on
the joint resolution just offered
should develop whether there is
warrant or need for legislation
governing the uses and purposes
of Rock Creek Park.
I'm the meantime, I have given
expression to the wish that all
planning and highway author
tiles refrain from any action that
could in anywise alter the pres
ent status of Rock Greek Park
until such time as Congress shall
have had opportunity to con-
slider the subject and prospect
from every angle"

Spark Plugs Useful
As Guide to Many
Motor Troubles

Spark plugs are useful as a
guide to the engines condition.
But too often drivers are in
clined TO take any damage TO a
plug as evidence Of its own
shortcomings.
An engine may be said to be
In top form If plugs show clean
insulators and no heavy coating
Of carbon clinging to their shells.
A slightly reddish color is per-
Missile, and If the engine Is
being fed gasoline with tetra-
ethyl lead the plugs viii look
either brown or gray.
Blisters which are so often
found on the irlsulator are not
due to the loaded gas but merely
to the plug being subjected to
excessive heat.
Heavy black carbon deposits
on the shell, but with the In
sulator remaining clean, usually
mean that while the plug is hot
enough to function normally the
engine is pumping oil.
This will be found in cases
where owners use oil in the gaso-
line and. Of course. where the
rings are worn.
If the tip of an insulator has
heavy carbon on 1t, don't Jump
to the conclusion that oil Is
passing the rings because Of ring
trouble or cylinder wall wear.
The difiiculty may be the result
Of ignition not reaching the plug
at all times.
