The
Rambler
Easy to Get Lost
In the Palisades
By JACK. JONAS

The people on Eskridge ter
race NV, in the Palisades,
are a mite confused.
70 get the setting right,
let's begin with Dana place
NV, which shoots off at right
angles to Macarthur boule-
ward, in about the 500 block.
The house numbers on Dana
place indicate that this is the
5000 block of that street, and
nobody is complaining about
that.
Eskridge terrace curves
around into a kind of cres-
cent, crossing Dana place. The
result is that the two streets
look on a map like the bust
ness end of a pitchfork.
Eskridge terrace house
numbers, however, begin with
the 1900 block. This, a lady
who lives there says, brings no
end of confusion at times
when it becomes necessary to
take a taxicab to an address
on that street.
The hackers are always
looking for it to shoot of
Forty-ninth street some
where, when actually it is at
an angle to Forty ninth,
which is some blocks away.
The Palisades Citizens As
ISOLATION made unsuccessful
efforts several years ago, to
have the numbers conform.
The residents of ESkridge
terrace had had those 1900
numbers for a long time, and
wanted to keep them.
The latest confusion arises
because the city, in a recent
bruSt of activity, has lettered
block numbers on white posts
at ESkridge terrace street
corners.
These signs indicate, for
some completely unaccount-
able reason, that this is the
$500 and 1900 block OF Esk-
ridge terrace. Apparently the
District Building wanted to
take no part in the dispute
between the 49OO-erS and the
5l00-erS.

ecutive officer of the Washing
ton district, said the surveying
and design work necessary for
the added dam feature will
probably require about nine
months. This he said, may
mean some delay in the over
all construction of the dam that
will increase the city's raw
water supply.
Extensive consultation with
the Federal Fish and Wildlife
Service also will be needed be-
fore the final design is prepared
/ AS preliminary plans now stand
the long fish passage will be
built into a section of the dam
at a point where it will cross
Snake Island, which is closer
to the Maryland shore.

to have the Job done by the

Supplemental
Money Measure
Hits SIS Billion
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS

The supplemental appropria-
ton bill carrying total of SIS
billion for many agencies OF
Government today was sent to
the House floor by the Rules
Committee for action probably
late tomorrow or Thursday.
The measure carries many
items for the Washington Met
ropolitan Area, not only for the
District of Columbia government
but for public construction of
military installations.
Among the controversial items
is expected to be Sc million for
construction of a headquarters
building for the Air Research
and Development Command at
Andrews Air Force Base near
Washington.
Two Ohio Representatives in
Dictated again today that a move
may be made on the floor to pre-
vent the Sc million from being
used to build the headquarters
at Andrews.
Dayton Original Choice
Before the Rules Committee
during a hearing on the pro-
posed rule sending the bill to
the House floor, Representative
Brown, Republican of Ohio, said
that the House originally had
voted legislation to place the
headquarters at Wright Patter-
son Air Force Base near Dayton,
Ohio.
Representative Mahon, Demo-
crat of Texas. chairman of the
subcommittee handling the mill
tary construction part of the
appropriation bill, said the House
had taken such action earlier.
But, he said, legislation was en-
acted at the last session. leaving
the decision for a site up to later
determination.
Secretary of the Air Force
QuarleS testified that he had
decided the construction should
be made at Andrews Air Force
Base.
The Rules Committee APP
proved request by MIR. Mahon
on behalf of the Appropriations
Committee and granted a rule
waving points of order"
This means that when the bill
comes up for action on the floor
members cannot strike out pro-
visions of the bill because they
lack legislative authority.
Protests Left to SchencA
Representative Brown said he
would leave the matter of pro-
testing against the Andrews site
to Representative Schenck. Re-
publican. whose congressional
district includes Wright-Patter-
son Air Force Base.
Mr.. Schenck told The Star that
he had not yet decided what
kind of action to take on the
floor. He said he thought the
headquarters should be located
in some place of most impor-
lance TO the Air Force. to ma
tlonal defense and the public
interest. "

Presidents Request for Burke Airport

The usual quiet of existence

discordant dismay and enthusi-

The Navy Band did a COM

consisting of taking off their
jackets.
The band was playing its
regular Monday evening con-
cert on the Capitol steps, with
the Speaker listening from an
upstairs window. The heat
and humidity, on this July 2,
were terrific, and the piece
of the moment was Khacha-

which sapS the energy even
on cool night.
Mr.. Rayburn sent word
down for the bandsmen to
take off their jackets. They
did. This was the first time
they had performed their
formal concert SO informally
in the 22-year experience OF
one of the bandSmen who told
us the story.
