Group 10 Study
Bridge Plan

The House District Committee
today scheduled a meeting for
1880 am. Wednesday to act on
bills already approved by sub
committees.
One of the measures relating
to Jones Point Bridge has been
the cause of delay in appropri-
ating money to construct the
span.
The measure would transfer
from the Interior Department
to the Commerce Departments
Bureau of Public Roads the jur-
isdiction for building the bridge.
Furthermore this measure, al
ready approved by a subcommit-
tee, would authorize certain
changes in the design and spell
out an approach route in Alex
andria to meet objections OF
Alexandrians to a previously des-
ignated route.
Funds for the construction had
been requested by the President
as an estimate for the Interior
Department appropriations bill
for the next fiscal year. But the
$13.8 million estimate was
stricken by the House when it
passed the funds measure and
sent it to the Senate.
Restoration of that sum by
the Senate has been requested by
the Interior Department with the
understanding that if the bill
transferring jurisdiction becomes
law, the money could be switched
from the Interior to the Com
merce Department.
Another bill ready for. the
House District Committee action
Wednesday would increase the
Metropolitan Police force to
$500 officers and men.
During hearings by a sub
committee on the measure, the
increase was strongly advocated
by Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray and spokesman for citizens
associations. But it was OPP
posed by the District Commits
sioners.
Any other measures which
may be approved by District sub
committees could be called up
for action by the full committee
Wednesday.

Graham said. 1--WE have been
told too many Americans got OF
their planes, talked bursQuely to
|newspapermen. and then rushed
into their waiting Cadillacs and
swept off to the embassy"
Mr.. Graham said his group
tried to copy the Russian
method, and found the people
responded intellectually.
There is no animosity to-
wards Americans or Europeans
as SUCH" he explained. IF you
give them sign OF greeting in
the India style. they quickly
respond"
Sees Reds Slowed
The evangelist, who insisted
his trip was purely a spiritual
enterprise, nevertheless OBJ
served that the Communist ad-
vance in the Far East has been
slowed down to a slow walk.
''It is still advancing but not
as rapidly as before. The adj
vance now is not among the
poor but among the university
students. That is because it has
Ia philosophical basis which ap-
peals to intellectuals. What we
need is an intellectual answer to
communism, and that answer, I
think, is Christianity"
Mr.. Graham recounted figures
supporting the fact that his two
month visit had been a ire
|mendous success. Large crowds,
in many places totaling 100000
persons at a service, attended
his meetings. He spent four
weeks in India, with the average
meeting attracting 10000.
Saw Other Countries Also
After India. Mr.. Graham and
his team went eastward. Among
the places they visited were
Bangkok, Manila, Hong Kong,
Korea and Honolulu. He esti-
mated that more than / million
persons attended the meetings.

Urged
To Maintain
High Standards
D. c. Official Cites
Mistakes Made in
Public Schools Here
American colleges and univer-

American colleges and univer-
sites today were warned by a
District public school official to
avoid the pitfull of watering
down standards to meet the
needs of rapidly increasing en-
rollments.
School officials here and else
where in the Nation have learned
that they made a mistake dur
ing the past two decades in try
ing to devise curriculum stand
ards for the average student
rather than holding to higher
standards, Carl F. Hansen. assist
ant superintendent Of District
public schools, said.
He was one of a dozen speakers
addressing a meeting OF the
American Council on Education
at the Mayflower Hotel.
Not Ready for Problems
Mr.. Hansen said the Nations
secondary school officials were
not prepared for the problems
which resulted from the increas-
ing percentage of school age
children going on into high
school from grade school.
The heavy influx of students
with varying levels of ability
caused officials to lower Their
formerly high achieve m e n
standards, he said.
The District, he said, has rec
|ognized this mistake and for the
past several years has been de-
veloping a program to reverse
the trend. This program calls fol
the bright students to master
more required courses of study
and narrowing his choice of cleo
tive courses.
Students less able to meet thu
higher requirements are beint
channeled into courses designed
| to fulfill their abilities and at TIT
same time give them an under
standing of the basic skills need
ed for modern life.
Work-Study Programs
Mr.. Hansen also said that col
|leges and universities should de.
velop work-study programs which
have come into vogue in sec.
ondary schools as a means Of
giving their students practical as
we'll as technical education in
their vocational field.
The American Council on Ed
ucation called the two-day con-
ference to discuss issues and
problems in higher education and
prepare recommendations fol
submission to a committee on ed
ucation which President Eisen-
hover said he will select.

mendations will be drafted and

THE EXECUTIVES spent a
good part of their two days
here shutting by bus to va
rious Federal Offices to learn
about the Government.
They listened to Secretary
Weeks at Commerce explain
that his department is in
business to help business. They
went to the executive offices
and heard some presidential
aides assure them that Gov
eminent and business were
getting along fine.
On Capitol Hill they learned
that Congress is all for BUSH
ness and is especially keen on
trade associations. Trade as
sociations, Congressman said,
help legislators get at the
facts.
Actually" our informant
reported, trade associations
grew out of Government. It's
a pretty new field, like public
relations.
"It began back in the early
days of the Roosevelt admin
istration and the MIRA, when
all those regulations started
coming out. The trade people
and the professional people
found out they had to have
someone in Washington to
look after their interests, or
they'd be left out of things.
"For example, the nursery
mems representatives stepped
in one time in connection with
new postal rates. The way the
bill was written, it would have
driven the nurserymen out of
business. Most of their trade
is by mail now, and the new
rates would have been prohib-
tive. The trade association
people got it changed"

ecutive said. TRADE associa-
tions is a big business in
Washington. I think it's about
the fourth largest.
II haven't counted them
lately, but I know there are
more than 1000 here, and they
must employ between $4,000.
and 10000 people. The biggest
is the Association of American
Railroads, which has about
800. Another big one is pure
ly 7local-the Home Builders
Association of Metropolitan
Washington.
"But it's surprising how
many trade association people
over the country generally
don't know much about the
Government-where it is and
how it operates. That's why
we get them together here in
Washington once a year to
meet with Government peo-
pie"

"WORLD WAR ii, with it's

"WORLD WAR ii, with its
system of priorities, gave the
trade groups another boost.
The industrial furnace people,
as another, example, didn't
have a representative here. AS
a result when the ALLEGATIONS
were made the furnace peo-
pie got a pretty poor shake.
"They had a good case, all
right" our executive contin-
ued. "They actually were an
essential industry. But there
was nobody here to tell the
Government about it. They
finally were forced by circum-
stances into forming an asso-
citation and getting a repre-
sentative down here. After
that everything was all right.
There are trade associa-
lions all over the country, of
course, but the biggest con-
centration is here in Wash
ington. And more are coming
In all the time. After all, this
Is where the Government is"
But there's one problem the
Government can't help with
at all.
There are three different
names, or titles, for these
trade group representatives"
the spokesman went on.
1Some call them. executive
secretaries, some executive d.
rectors, and some executive
vice presidents.
, "The ones called executive
secretaries are jealous of the
executive directors, and the
executive directors are jealous
of the executive vice presi-,
sdents.
Maybe some day they'll all
be called executive vice pres
idents."
