the ceiling in the teaching pro-
fession is too low.
He asserted the teacher is en-
titled to respectable working con-
ditions. Given these. he said,

Bridge bill Congress already has

the bridges early construction
The amendment, already passed
by the Senate, would let the
bridge cross the south tip OF
Roosevelt Memorial Island
2. Consider q brand-new bill
to substitute q tunnel for the
authorized bridge. This is backed
by the Interior Department but
opposed by District highway
officials.
8. Consider both the bridge
and tunnel propositions.
Early last week. word went out
that the subcommittee. headed
20 Representative Davis. Demo-
Icrat Of Georgia, planned q sep
arate hearing only one the tunnel
bill. introduced by Representa-
tive Broyhill, Republican of
Virginia.
Then. on Wednesday. District
highway officials were told that
next tuesdays hearing would
be only on the bridge amend
ment, sponsored by Representa-
tive Mcmillan, Democrat OF
South Carolina.
The last word, directly from
Chairman Davis, is that I'VE will
go into the whole thing. bridges
and tunnels, over the island and
not over the island"
Mr.. Davis said advocates OF
both plans would be heard, but
that no witness timetable was
worked out yet. He said it did
appear certain, however, that
I'VE can't finish in one day."
That's fortunate. since the only
list of witnesses now in the COM
mitee office includes District
Federal and Virginia highway Of
ficials who were called when il
appeared that the hearing would
be restricted to the bridge bill
Presumably. therefore. the
hearing will start of with the
bridge question and lead into the
tunnel.
William N McLead, jr.. Dis
trict Committee clerk. said the
conflicting advice put out last
week o nthe subject of the hear
ings was in line with changed
instructions he got from COM
mittee members.
Asked why the changes had

been made, Mr.. McLead said he
didn't know.
Two possible factors, however,
were advanced by other com.
mittee sources as to why sep.
arate hearings on either the
bridge or the tunnel were ruled
cut.
One was that Mr.. Broyhill.
author Of the tunnel bill, hasn't
always had the vigorous sup
port Of other District Commit
tee members for some Of his
proposals, so there was no great
enthusiasm about considering
his bill.
The other was that Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat Of
Virginia, and one Of the Dis
trict Committees most influen-
tial members. is dead-set against
the bridge. so his feeling pro-
baby helped rule out a hearing
on the bridge alone.
Mr.. Broyhill. while INTRODUCE
ing the tunnel bill, actually 10
likely to favor the bridge in the
hearings. When he submitted
the tunnel bill recently, he said
he did so only because the
bridge matter appeared to be
stymied.
City highway officials are ex-
pected to attack the tunnel idea
on grounds that it would be very
expensive and not serve traffic
nearly as we'll as six-lane
bridge. They also will stress
agreement among planners on
the bridge route, and the fact
that Congress already has ap-
proved the span.
Park officials from the Interior
Department will argue that .
four-lane tunnel could handle
traftic, and be much less cbjec.
tionable in the Lincoln Memorial
area than a bridge. They will
propose that the Federal Gov
eminent pay the full cost of the
tunnel.
The park officials are expected
to call Ole Singstad. one Of the
country's top authorities on river
tunnels, as one OF their chief
witnesses.
