Pressed for Expression
However. Mr.. Brown, G.. Her
bert Turner and George r. Tur-
ner. jr., all pressed the board for
at least an expression Of feel
ing" on the matter.
At that point. j. 8. Everly,
school board chairman, reiter-
ated that the board members
were bound by their State oaths
and added that he had antic-
ipated the issue to some extent.
He said he had called Common
wealth's Attorney Earl Wagner
earlier in the day and asked him /:
What would our position be If
we were pushed for an answer?"
The Commonwealth's attorney
had replied that he didn't know
and would have to study the
matter. Mr.. Everly reported. In
this situation, the chairman said
the board scarcely could vote on
the matter at this time.

D. c. and Park Officials
To Discuss Bridge Route

Department and Fine Arts Com
mission a yes-or-no voice over
bridge plans and including other
provisions. The city heads, OBJ
viously apprenhensive that such
broad powers might create new
bottlenecks in the bridge situa-
ton, have worked up a legisla-
tive draft Of their own.
Both for Discussion
The two drafts will be dis
|cussed at today's meeting be-
tween the groups. ~
Backing up the park oficials'
position is a statement issued by
President Eisenhower last year
to the effect that the Interior
Department should have clear
powers to portect Federal park
lands on either side of the bridge.
Park officials contend the pres
ent bridge act does not give
them adequate authority.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, said the
park arguments have been con-
sidered, but he declined to re-
lease Immediately the District
draft.
It was drawn up after the
Commissioners conferred yester-
day with Senator Case. Repub-
iican of South Dakota, about
the form the legislation should
take.
Evening star., 1955-07-14

The Commissioners expect to
meet with Federal park officials
today to seek agreement on leg
islation to modify the route Of
Washington's new Potomac
River bridge.
The legislative request. which
probably could whip through
adjournment this month, would
call for only q minor change in
the route already authorized.
Instead Of being restricted to
q bridge location between Ar
lington Memorial Bridge and
Roosevelt Memorial Island, the
request simply would permit
officials to build the bridge over
the southern tip of the island,
provided such q route can be
worked out by engineers.
Generally Receptive
Actually, there is no disagree
ment over this change. Capitol
Hill. city and Federal agency
leaders are receptive.
But the conference today is
sure to center around what else.
If anything. the legislation
should do to tighten Federal OFF,
cials' control over details Of the
bridge the District would build.

Park Service director, has sent
the city heads a proposed legis-
tive draft, giving the Interior

It Will be remembered that the Poles
rose against the Germans in Warsaw be
fore the Russians had captured the city.
These Poles constituted 4 huge under
ground, which was supported by the Allies,
especially the British. and rose against the
Germans when the Russians had reached
the vicinity of Warsaw and It's capture was
expected momentarly.
However, the Russians, shreWd and
ruthless through and through sat back and
did not press their attack on Warsaw and
let the Nazis crush the Polish revolt. In
other words. the brave Polish underground
