Time to Start the Bridge

1t is gratifying that the bridgeN
versuS-tunnel controversy which has
delayed construction of the already
authorized Constitution avenue bridge,
has been resolved in favor of the bridge.
Revival of the tunnel idea brought
nothing new to warrant scrapping OF the
bridge plans On the contrary, testimony
before the Davis subcommittee of the
House District Committee made it clear
that a tunnel of the kind proposed would
never be an adequate substitute for a
traffic-expediting, six-lane span over the
Potomac River
In shelving the tunnel proposal, how
ever, the subcommittee recommended a
change in the bridge design that would
add nearly Sl5 million to its cost This
revision calls for draw span to permit
ships with tall stacks to reach the George
town waterfront The tentative plan
has been for a high-level bridge that
would enable only small ships to ply to
and from Georgetown. This restriction
on river traffic had been vigorously OPP
posed by several firms now engaged in
shipping operations on the river. The
Army Engineer Corps had discounted the
Importance of river traffic in approving
the no-draw-spa bridge However, 1t
would be unfortunate If the draW-span
plan became the center Of another frus-
trating controversy, thus delaying the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-03

project even longer. AS matter of fact,
District highway officials believe that the
movable span can be built without ex
ceeding original cost estimates, largely
because of economies in sight through
revision of technical specifications.
The important thing is to get the
bridge project off dead center and moving
toward actual construction. The tunnel
debate was the last known obstacle to an
early start If Congress approves the
changes recommended by the Davis sub.
committee, including not only provision
for draw span but for the crossing of the
southern tip of Theodore Roosevelt Me-
mortal Island the long-sought traffic
relief project can be begun in the near
future

Crime and Penalties

The close relation between crime
trends and sentencing policies of the
courts is shown in the annual report OF
the Washington Criminal Justice AsSo-
citation. The report stressed that the
general decline in major criminal activity
in the District in the past year has been
concurrent with the increasing tendency
OF the judges to impose sitter sentences
in felony cases Another factor in the
crime decrease, Of course, was the
stepped-up vigilance Of the police under
Chief MurrayS breakdown program.
The associations analysis OF sem
fences during the past year revealed a
gratifying stiffening OF penalties by all
courts dealing with criminals here AL
though several instances Of what the
association regarded as inadequate SEN
fencing were found-involving fnes in
stead of jail sentences for serious otfenses
the report noted that punishment In
general was of the sterner sort. The most
frequent sentence was from one to three
years, with two to six years running q
close second. But other sentences ranged
much higher in fragrant cases. There was
one death sentence, three sentences Of
23l years to life and a number ranging
UP to 40 years. The Criminal Justice AS
ISOLATION long has contended that the
best crime deterrent is a combination of
certainty Of arrest, vigorous prosecution
and adequate penalties" The findings OF
its latest study bear out this contention.

ing. For a person to be ac-
tually benefited by this major
medical plan, he would have
to undergo a long, protracted
illness, or go through some
serious surgery; in other words,
be practically at deaths door.
He would have to pay out any,
where from $500 to $1,000 be-
fore the plan would take effect.
To tell the truth, he doesn't
have that kind of money. So
the major medical plan does
not offer much to the average
Government employe.
The average worker should
have the protection against
ordinary periods of illness,
rather than the out-of-reach
protection against more serious
illnesses.
The major medical plan is
like putting the cart before the
horse. Let's have a Govern
ment-sponsored basic medical
plan first, and then perhaps
the major medical plan later.

his opponents were claiming
they had him down, Chandler
last Saturday won a smashing
victory in the county conven-
lions, assuring him of con-
troll of the Kentucky Demo-
cratic State Convention today.
This means the Governor will
become Kentucky's favorite-
son candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination at the
Democratic National Conven-
ton in Chicago in August. 1t
means he will be Democratic
national committeeman for
Kentucky. and that he will
head the Kentucky delegation
at the national convention.
And finally. it means that he
and his supporters will take
control of the Kentucky Demo-
cratic State Committee from
his pet enemies, Senator Earle
Clements and former Gov.
Wetherby, both Of whom have
been nominated for the Sen
ate this year.

1t is a rather strange thing
that many architects, who are

that this is the fault of
architectural schools, which
place emphasis on form and

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

One of the birds We miss
very much is the white
breasted nuthatch.
There has not been a one
in our neighborhood for a
long time.
What has happened?
The main thing, We believe,
is the loss of trees.
This bird is famous for its
love of trees. 1t likes to fly
to the trunks. then walk down.
Once We had a small feed
ing station S feet high on a
locust, and the nuthatches
would land 6 feet above it,
then walk down to the seed.
-
This is a small bird, broad
in the beam, 50 that at times
it puts on a triangular APP
pearance.
The name comes from its
way of Matching, or hacking,
seeds (old English.)
1t is most popular in subur-
ban districts, where it abounds,
provided there are plenty OF
trees.
The mystery Of the nut
hatchs disappearance in our
particular neighborhood is
that there still are plenty OF
trees of all kinds. particularly
oaks. naples and the remain
ing locust trees.
All birds love trees. much as
the squirrels do. but not all take
to them in the same way the
nuthatches. woodpeckers and
brown thrashers do.
Come to think Of it, the
thrasher is also absent, Since
our note about the WOO d
thrushes being missing, too,
We have heard one singing
close by, just at dusk.
AS a matter Of fact, it was
dusk, so dark the lis
tener wondered If the thrush
could see to fly away.
The singing stopped. finally.
We will never know whether
the bird flew, or just settled
down for the night.
Bird claws and leg muscles
are so adjusted by nature that
when the bird gets sleepy, and
relaxes, the muscles tighten UP
the claws. thus holding 1t to
the perch.
When morning comes. the
bird awakes. and the claws
let 60.
Human beings could learn a
lot from the sleeping habits
Of birds.
With the exception Of owls
and few others and the
night singing mockingbirds,
all Of them "go to bed with
the chickens"
Once we watched two blue
Jays come to roost in a giant
locust just outside the window
The trunk was covered with
ivy. and this made fine
sleeping place.
The Jays came every eve
ming about the same time
Just as real darkness arrived
They did not go to sleep i'm
mediately. but popped Their
heads in and out OF the ivy
with soft chatter, for a few
minutes.
Finally. they disappeared
and nothing was seen or heard
from then on.
