of Tennessee, and possibly by
other members of the Senate
against the House insistence that
a draw span be built into the
structure to take care of present
and future traffic that might
go to the Georgetown CONNER
cial waterfront.
The legislation now before the
Senate is an amendment to an
act Congress already has passed.
The original act authorized
the new bridge in a loca-
ton between Arlington Memo
rial Bridge and Roosevelt Island.
The amendment would permit
the span to cross Roosevelt Is
land, in order to move it further
away from the monumental Lin
coin Memorial area.
City Might Build
In event. the amendment is
blocked in this session, District
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane said he is certain the
city still would have the power
to build the bridge in its origin
ally authorized location.
Senator Gore said the provi-
sion that a draw bridge would
add $1.9 million to the cost of
the bridge, plus an annual super
vision and operation cost of
about $4,000, was a matter of
Importance to him and to Dis
trict taxpayers.
He said he could see no sense
in placing this added burden on
the taxpayers for the benefit of
two concerns who would make
the major use of the draw span.
These were identified as the
Smoot Sand & Gravel Co. and
the American Oil Co., which de-
liver products to the So-called
Georgetown harbor.

the Arlington Memorial Bridge
when its draw span is not raised.
Proponents of the draw span
have argued that Congress must
look to the future when there
may be a great new day for river
traffic to Georgetown, meaning
that there must be a draw span
in the river bridges.
A year ago. Senator Gore, then
a member of the Senate District
Committee. announced his stand
that the draw spans must 60,
because they interfere with traf-
f1c movement and cause added
expense.
He told The Star last night
he would fight any move for
provision for the draw span in
the new bridge, declaring that
If it meant a Six-month delay
for a congressional decision he
thought that would be worth
while.
With prospects of enormous
growth of Arlington, Fairfax
and the Alexandria area, several
more bridges across the Potomac
will be needed in the forSeeable
future" he said.
Compensation Cheaper
1T would be far more econom-
ical, if necessary, to compensate
the two concerns involved in
the Georgetown harbor for their
losses in connection with the
occasional passage of vessels
that will not clear the 81 feet
allowed in plans for the new
Constitution avenue bridge.
II am perfectly willing to be
reasonable with these two con-
Germs but I am unwilling to let
two concerns impose unreason-
able requirements on the thou
sands of people who will use the
bridge and on the taxpayers of
the country and the District.

U. 5. Employees
Cut by 1000

The executive branch of the
Government ended fiscal 1856
last June 80 with a net reduction
of about 1000 employees over the
end of the 1855 fiscal year, the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Reduction of NoneSSential
Federal Expenditures announced
today.
But the last half of the 1856
fiscal year from January
through June-Saw an increase
in Federal employment in every
month the committee, headed
by Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, noted.
Two heavy cuts in the Federal
payroll occurred in Sertember
and December, 1855, the report
showed. The September reduce
ton was 1874 and that in De-
cember was 1881.
Dig MISC IN June
Increases were more gradual
the greatest being between June
and June 80, the last month of
the fiscal year, when 14,867 per-
sons were added to the payroll
The committees study showed
the bulk of the June increase was
in the military agencies. which
added 1887 civilians to their rolls
Civilian agencies increased en-
ployment by $3.50.
Chief civilian increases in June
were in Agriculture Cup 6.82D
Interior (3.48O, Commerce
d,872) and Health, Education
and Welfare CAD. These were
partially offset by reductions,
chiefly in Post Office (down
4,OS8), Treasury $4,000 and Vet
Grams Administration (978).
Defense Boosts Noted
The Department of Defense
agencies showed increases in the
Air Force (5,216), Army (3,3OD
and Office of the Secretary of De-
tense C20. The only decrease
was in the Navy. which elm
mated seven persons from its
payroll in June.
The Byrd committee noted that
the Air Force rise in employment
was the 18th consecutive monthly
increase for that agency.

Notes Tempo Occupancy
Senator Chavez letter to Mr..
Thomas noted that most Navy
personnel now occupy tempos-
notably the big World War I
structure on Constitution ave-
nue.. He said it was particularly
urgent" that a decision for new
Navy space be made in view of
the vast new public building
program authorized by Congress
this year. which calls for razing
all of Washington's inefficient
eyesore" tempos.
The New Mexico Democrat
said he thought Congress had
mo generally preferred posi-
ton" as to whether Federal
agencies occupy buildings
through new construction or the
leasing of suitable space in
privately owned buildings"
AS proof of this" he noted
that Congress last year author
lied the Government to enter
Ifive-year instead of one-year
leases with private building own
