John and Emily made arrangements with another couple

The Thompsons' family doctor stout earnest man Of

Ever feel like throwing some
thing at the guy who says us it
hot enough for you?" on one of
those scorching days? Well it's
natural to be a little irritable
when Old Sol is outdoing himself.
When you're overheated you're
uncomfortable and edgy. And on
top Of that you're probably also
off your feed.
There's nothing you can do
about the heat, but there is some=
thing you can do about being off
your feed. It's all right to eat
Eighty" during a heat wave but
you shouldn't starve yourself
The body still needs its minimum
daily requirements of food in
Guiding those high in protein,
vitamins and minerals.
The easiest and most sensible
way to maintain these nutri-
tional requirements during a
spell of hot weather IS to make
sandwiches the main course of
your meal.
Sandwich eating is cooler,
more convenient, and less time-
~svassmirg and it is also satisfy

ing to the appetite. Sandwiches
provide in a tasteful way a wide
variety Of nutrients. When they
contain cheese, meat, fowl, pea
nut butter, or one of the. other
protein foods, the filling is the
substance of the meal.
The bread, either enriched
white or whole grain, provides
high quality protein, important
amounts of B vitamins and iron.
A beverage is essential to the
enjoyment and value Of the sand
wich meal. Milk and other dairy
drinks contribute minerals, vita
MINIS and carbohydrate. Fruit
drinks provide vitamin C. Iceo
coffee or tea may be sweetened
artifcally to limit caloric intaLs-
Whether the sandwich is car
ried in a lunch box, served at q
restaurant, or eaten at home, the
factory worker, Office worker,
farmer, and homebody alike can
rest assured that the sandwich,
does more than satisfy hunger
in hot weather - it provides val
liable nutrients necessary for

Planners Act
ToMove Office

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion yesterday took initial steps
to relocate its present Office
from $500 Colesville road. Silver
Spring, Md.
Members agreed to consult
several architects on the cost of
plans and construction of a new
Montgomery County building.
Consideration of possible sites
also will begin soon.
The proposed expansion of
Montgomery County police sta
tion in Silver Spring into the
Colesville road building makes
the move necessary. County
Manager M. L. Reese has said
the commission can keep the
present Office. for about a year.
Commission officials announced
in a resolution that the welcome
mat is out to any discussion with
Federal agencies regarding relo-
cation in either of the two coun-
ties. The resolution observed
that decentralization of Federal
employment is essential to ma
tional security and, likewise,
would relieve traffic congestion
in the area.
The planners announced that
copies of the Hoyt economic sur
vey of Prince Georges and Mont
gomery counties will be ready for
public distribution within l0I
days. The books will be available
at commission Offices in Silver
Spring and Riverdale, and county
government buildings in Rock
vile and Upper Marlboro. The
cost will be $4.05 mailed, or $3.50
If picked up.
A typographical model of the
area surrounding Wisconsin ave-
hue to Forest Glen will be onI
display for two weeks beginning
today in the bank of Silver
Spring.

Funds for Span
Asked as Tunnel
Decision Pends

District officials, after asking
the Senate for money to start
building the Constitution avenue
bridge. today hopefully awaited
administration support for the
move.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane.
Engineer Commissioner, told a
Senate Appropriations Subcom-
mittee late yesterday he is still
hopeful" a top-level administra-
ton position on the Potomac
bridge-tunnel hassle will be
reached before the subcommittee
marks up the budget bill.
Meanwhile, he said, the Dis
trict feels 1t should go ahead
with plans to build the bridge
Congress authorized last year
until it is told differently.
Backing up that belief, he
asked the Senate. unit to restore
a SIS million item for bridge
construction money that was cut
by the House.
Tunnel Idea Later
Gen Lane explained to SUBJ
committee Chairman Stennis.
Democrat, of Mississippi that
proposals were made for a tun-
mel instead of a bridge after
Congress approved the span last
year.
"It's public knowledge that
the policy is being re-examined
at the Budget Bureau level"
Gen Lane said, "and that no
decision has been reached as yet.
1--WE are still hopeful that a
top-level decision will be forth
coming before you mark up this
bill"
The decision will be based
mainly on whether the admin
istration feels the Federal Gov
ernment should pay about $50
million to make up the cost diff
ference between a bridge and
tunnel. The Fine Arts Commis-
sion and Federal parks officials
propose the expenditure in order
to lessen the impact of bridge
on esthetic values in the Lincoln
Memorial area.
The White House yesterday
had no comment on the issue.
Earlier yesterday, the Fine
Arts Commission members paid
a visit to President Eisenhower,
but Commission Chairman David
E. Finley said it was merely "our
annual courtesy call" following
appointment Of new members.
At yesterdays hearing. Senator
Stennis seemed surprised that
the issue hadn't been settled.
AS j. N. Robertson, city high
way director. began to explain
the SIS million construction re-
quest. the Senator broke in to
Evening star., 1955-06-10

say: "That's right, make it q
nice, pretty, attractive bridge
like the one you have there now
After the controversy was ex.
planned. Senator Stennis urgec
the officials to "do all you can
to reach a decision.
The SIS million was part oi
a total of $3,2O9,000 in House
cuts which Mr.. Robertson asked
the Senate to restore in high
way money for the year starting
July /.
Widenings Involved
Other construction funds in
Icluded $450,000 to widen Inde-
|pendence avenue between First
street S.W. and Second street
Sc. and $250,000 to widen Con-
stitution avenue between Della
ware avenue and Second street
IS.E.
The highway director said
city officials are seeking special
legislative authorization now to
acquire land for the widenings,
which involve Capitol Hill prop
Ierty.
The other 1929. 900 in House
cuts was for six classes of high
way operating expenses.
One of the most important,
Mr.. Robertson said, is $68, 900
to repair the draw span at the
old Eleventh street (Anacostia)
bridge.
BY a series of manual opera
tions, it takes bridge tenders
four minutes to get the 50-year-
old draw machinery into action
now, Mr.. Robertson said, land
I'm fearful that one of these
days we're going to open that
old bridge and not be able to
get it closed"
