Hearing Slated
On Friendship
CAB Invites AirIines
To Express Views

Airlines using National airport
will get a chance to air their
views on interim use of Balti-
more's Friendship airport here
next Wednesday.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
said today that its Bureau of Ail
Operations has scheduled a
meeting to discuss interim pro-
posals involving the use Of
Friendship to relieve the mad
equacy of Washington service tc
the extent that this may be de-
veloping due to congestion at Ma
tional."
The CAB still has under adj
visement a question of desig-
mating Friendship a co-terminal
for Washington. Scheduled air
lines, for the most part. have
opposed this answer to WASH
ington's growing airport prob
lem.
The Wednesday meeting will
reopen the issue, dormant since
Congress declined to supply
funds to build a second WASH
ington airport at Burke. Va.
Invitations from the CAB
went to all passenger and
freight airlines serving WASH
ington. They pointed out that
all comments will be received by
the Board without prejudice" in
the formal investigation insti-
tuted by CAB last July concern
ing the Washington and Balti-
more air terminals.

Wider Bridge Clearance

The rivers and harbors COM
mittee Of the Washington Board
of Trade has recommended
scrapping present designs for the
Jones Point Bridge and SUBJ
shutting plans calling for a 300
foot navigable clearance.
Members Of the committee yes
lterday conceded their suggestion
would require new legislation
by Congress. but they said the
necessity for a wider clearance
than the $50 feet authorized out
weighs the disadvantage Of pos
Isible construction delays.
A resolution passed by the
committee said construction OF
the bridge as presently planned
would Impair the safety Of
vessels and prevent the con-
Itemplated economic growth Of
the Alexandrta and washington
ports"
The action was taken after q
report by John Z. Smith, chair
man Of q subcommittee on
Washington channel improve
lment. Mr.. Smith said his SUBJ
committee conferred last week
with the heads Of the Virginia
and Maryland Pilots Associations
and was told that with only q
l50-foot clearance. cumbersome
freighters would break down the
bridge in bad weather.
The present plans would
limit forever the future develop
ment Of the ports" Mr.. Smith
said. Let's not let this creek
bridge be constructed right be-

1t was estimated a change Of
design TO allow a 300-foot clear
ance would add 50 million to the
construction cost. Congress has
appropriated sl3.5 million.
It was pointed out in the dis
Icussion that widening to 900
feet would require ANEW design
for the draw span. and possibly
require increasing the height OF
the bridge to make a movable
span unnecessary.
Ernest F. Henry, a member OF
the committee. warned that the
resolution may find tough sled
ding when It comes before the
Board Of Trade itself, which
wants prompt construction Of the
bridge. He said there "are a lot
Of people who would like to kill
the Jones Point bridge" and
would welcome the opportunity
to stymie it in Congress.
The committee also went on
record for widening the Potomac
River channel 70 a width Of 300
feet and a depth Of 80 feet. The
present width IS 200 feet and the
depth "a feet.

Some Grants Increased
The investigators on their

get the information to warrant
keeping a family on relief--or
even increasing the grant--as to
uncover facts leading to deci-
sion by the social workers that
relief should be ended.
An analysis of the first eight
months of the investigation unit

'MoiI-EorIy Drive Gets Results
AS Volume Increases Steadily

AS early as October, the post
Office begins to get ready for the
annual crush. Locally, Govern
ment offices are asked to mail
the "pig iron"-a term applied
to Government publications
before the Christmas season is
in full swing. And already, 1000
"temporaries" have been hired
to help weary postmen on routes
or in sorting Jobs.
These temporaries are drawn
from the areas colleges and each
year are asked to return to the
temporary jobs if they haven't
been graduated. The plan gives
the post Office something of a
reserve corps. During the season,
they receive from SLAB an hour
to a $1.65 an hour.
ArmOry for Packages
Again this year, the post Office
will take over the basement of
the National Guard Armory to
help with the great press of
packages. officials have also
found space in Union Station for
the same purpose. Years ago,
the Christmas rush forced the
handling of parcels down on the
old polo grounds near the Tidal
Basin.

a Christmas card to Secretary
Humphrey or Dulles, or any
