parent for some time.
The French. with their hands
full in North Africa, have had a
small role to play. But they
recently lost a diplomatic at
tempt to spread responsibility
for supplying Israel with II
French Jet fighter planes.
The French reasoned that if
they sent arms to Israel. they
would incur the wrath of the
Arabs in North Africa.
But the United States agreed
only that the IL jets could be
taken out of the North Atlantic
Treaty allotment, leaving to the
French sole responsibility for
sending them to Israel. AS of
today. Paris still is delaying
delivery.
British in Trouble
The British ran into trouble
with Greek union elements IN

were bounced out Of the Arab

Jones Point Bridge
Action Due Monday

Legislation to authorize con-
struction of the Jones Point
bridge will come before the
House District Committee on
Monday for action.
Two bills. approved by a Dis
trict subcommittee, probably will
be called up by the full commit
tee. They would transfer juris-
diction from the Interior De-
|partment to the Commerce De-
partment's Bureau of Public
Roads, revise the design of the
span, and name it the woodrow
Wilson Memorial Bridge.
An appropriation estimate of
|$13:8 million to build the bridge
was stricken from the Interior
Department appropriation bill
by the House. principally because
pending legislation would shift
responsibility from the Interior
to Commerce Department.
If the legislation making some
changes in jurisdiction and de-
sign becomes law. it is believed
the stricken $13.8 million can
be inserted in the Commerce
Departments supply measure
for the fiscal year beginning
next July /.

|MeckIing Trial
Transfer SOUGHT

BALTIMORE, Mar. 6 P1.-
Lawyers for John Henry Meek
ling of Annapolis, yesterday asked
the Federal court to transfer out
of Maryland his trial on charges
of negligence in the operation OF
"a passenger schooner on the
Chesapeake Bay if prosecutors
insist that a jury hear the case.
Fourteen lives were lost in the
August IL disaster which led to
the charges against Meckling ac-
cused of operating the schooner,
the Levin j. Marvel, when it was
i'm an unseaworthy condition.
Meckling's attorneys asked
that the trial be transferred to
the United States Court of West
ern Pennsylvania. They claimed
their client could not get a fair
jury trial on the Eastern Sea-
board.
They asked for a trial without
a jury because of published ac-
counts of the disaster which they
said cited Coast Guard sources
on Meckling's poor Judgment"
A second motion asked that
two counts of the indictment be
dismissed on the grounds that
sections of the law they cite APP
ply to motor boats and not to
sailing vessels.
