The quarter-mile stretch Of
East Beach drive between Tilden
street and Blagden avenue in
Rock Creek Park has been closed
for a complete rebuilding job.
The project is part of the con-
tinuing program of National
Capital Parks to improve the long
winding road that has been de-
teriorating without major recon-
struction for years.
To Take Till June
Principal aim of the project,
according to Harry T. Thompson,
associate superintendent of Mop,
is to install an entirely new road
bed and surface, raise the road
level a little and to. provide
drainage mostly by means of low
curbing.
The section probably will re-
main closed well into June.
Mr.. Thompson emphasized
that the roadway will be widened
only slightly, if at all. beyond its
present 20-foot width. Nor is
curve elimination involved. The
construction necessitates the re-
moyal of a few trees, but the
official said that as few as pos
sible are being taken down.
THE idea" he explained, "is
to preserve the park character
istics of the area And from g.
strictly practical standpoint, he
said the new construction will be
cheaper in the long run than
the costly maintenance of the
brokendown drive.

Pilot Of so May Excel
One Of 30, Panel Says

A 60-year-old man can often
fly a plane better than a man
of 80, a panel discussion on prob
lens of the aging pilot brought
out yesterday.
The panel was discussing at
what age pilot should retire.
DR.. John A. Tamisia, aviation
medicine specialist, admitted:
1--WE are cropping in the dark. F"
Here for the Civil Aviation
Medical Association meeting at
the Hotel Statler, DR.. Tamisia
explained that an age limit on
flying needs more investigation.
Such airlines as United have
set the pilots retirement at go,
he said, but the introduction of
heavier, faster airliners carry
ing more passengers and height
ening pilot tension may require
an earlier retirement limit.
In the past. the discussion
brought out, such a wide gap
has existed between the physio-
logical age of man and his
chronological age that no slide
rule can be applied to a pilots
retirement.

Death Toll Cut in Half
Since New Parkway
To Baltimore Opened
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

WATERLOO, Mo-, Mar. "
State police said today death on
the Highways between Baltimore
and Washington has been cut at
least in half since the opening
of the new Washington-Balti-
more parkway last October.
Trooper Garland r. Walters,
traffic analyst at the State Police
Barracks here. declared the new
parkway is not the only reason,
however.
Another factor, he said, is con-
certed patrol work and radar
speed checking since the park
way was opened and on the old
Washington Baltimore boulevard
(U. S. y both before and since.
3 Deaths Against IL
The most dramatic contrast in
fatal accident statistics devel-
oped in the first two months of
1855.
There were only three deaths
in that period on both the park
way and the old boulevard.
In the same two months of
1858, when nearly all traffic
moved on the old boulevard.
there were IL.
Last year, with about half the
parkway open most of the year,
there were Is deaths on both
Highways.
In the last year that all traffic
moved on the old boulevard,
there were 80.
The boulevard, one of the most
heavily travelled 38-mile stretches
anywhere in the country, long
has been known as "Old Bloody"
Soft Shoulders Blamed
1t. w. w. Corbin. COM
mander at Waterloo Barracks,
and Trooper Walters said the
soft shoulders and soft center
strip are the main causes of &C
cidents on the new parkway.
This is usual along new high
ways, they said, until shoulders
settle and become firm.
The trouble now is that mo-
florists fear getting stuck if they
pull on to the shoulders when
they have auto trouble. They
park on the outside traffic lane.
Other cars can't stop fast
enough, and pillow into them.
Trooper Walters warned that
motorists having car trouble
must pull off the Highway and
take the risk of getting stuck.
Too much and too little speed
are main factors in other &C
cidents on the new parkway, ne
said.
There have been several &C
cidents in which cars crashed
into the rear of slow-moving
trucks, particularly in poor visi-
bility.
Maryland permits trucks on its
portion of the parkway, from
Baltimore to a point near Fort
Meade. The other part was built
by the Federal government, and
trucks are banned.

CamaIier Voices Doubt
On District PayroIIs Tax

The chance of q District tax on

but my own feeling is that the
tax never will be levied" District
Commissioner Renah F. Camalier
said last night.
Interviewed on Radio Station

ple," Mr.. Camalier said the
chance of such a tax will remain
until 1.-THE Commissioners make
their determination and Congress
acts on it,"
The Commissioners "have not

tribution. He said he would like

New River Bridge
Unfinished, Driver
Learns Hard Way

Jesse James Savage wanted to

Before him was the East Capt.

struction and equipped with do
Not Enter" signs and other
warnings, but a guard had low
cred a chain as he made an in
spection.
As the 22-year-old colored
man told police later that he
had once worked on the bridge
as a laborer. He had confidence
in the bridge-and in his ability
to drive across it.
He started out from the west
ern side, but at the approach to
the bridge, his wheels slipped
of a makeshift ramp and he
got stalled in the dirt.
A police crane finally reached
the car. Savage and the auto
were hauled away. He was
charged with passing a barri-
cade and driving without a Dis
trict permit. Collateral was set
at $50. which he didn't have.
They put him in the Fourth
Precinct cellblock.

Price Claims Station
Ordered DeIefions in
His Political TeIecasts
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, March 10. -
Arthur B. Price, president of the
City Council and an unsuccess-
full candidate for mayor in
the recent municipal primaries,
charged today that WBAL-TV
and its attorney censored state
ments from a telecast he made
in the campaign.
Regulations of the Federal
Communications CO m m S sion
prohibit a radio or television sta
ton from censoring speeches by
candidates for political Office.
Broadcasting stations are not
immune, however, from suits for
damages arising from utterances
of a political candidate using
their facilities.
WBAL-TV and its attorney,
Joseph Sherbow, declined to
comment Immediately. Judge
Sherbow said he had not had an
opportunity to read Mr.. Prices
statement.
It was in the form of a letter
to Senator Butler, Republican, of
Maryland, who has introduced a
bill in Congress which would
grant immunity to broadcasters
for things political candidates
say or do on their microphones
and television cameras.
Mr.. Price pointed out Judge
Sherbow, former Circuit Judge
in Baltimore, also has acted as
counsel for Mayor Thomas DIAL

Democratic nomination for re-
election over Mr.. Price and five
