Bridge at Cabin John
Virginia Report
Says Toll Plan
Is Unnecessary
BY a star stan Correspondent

RICHMOND, Sept. 12.-The
Virginia Highway Department
today said a proposed Potomac
River bridge at Cabin John. Md,
can be operated toll-free because
of money available under the
Federal Interstate highway pro-
gram.
A report to the General AS
sembly from the Highway De-
partment says the bridge may
become a reality sooner than was
anticipated" because the Federal
Government will bear 80 per
cent of the cost.
Estimated costs to Virginia
for approach roads to meet
standards of the Federal Inter-
state highway network are ST.
042, 500.
In justifying construction of
the bridge, the Department of
Highways said that within the
next nine years it would carry
something more than $4,000 We
hicles a day that would other
wise have gone deeper into the
congested Metropolitan area to
find a river crossing"
Would Serve as Bypass
The Cabin John Bridge would
be a link in the circumferential
route around Washington. It
would serve as q bypass around
Washington for through traffic
between Maryland and Virginia.
The report was submitted in
answer to legislation offered at
the General Assembly last vim
ter by Arlington State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick.
The report estimates daily
traffic over the proposed Cabin
John Bridge at 15,100 vehicles
by the year 1860.
Maryland" the report says,
"has moved ahead swiftly; in
1854 a dynamic 12-year program
of road construction and recon-
struction was adopted. This pro-
gram calls for the acquisition Of
right-of-way for the Montgom-
cry County section of the circMn-
ferential by 1857. And the
completion of the entire route
by 1869.
Agency Dispersal Cited
"As the population Of Wash.
ington and the size Of Govern
ment agencies increase, it APP
pears that more and more Offices
will be forced into the suburbs.
There is no reason why the area
of Fairfax County should not get
its share Of this development.
There seems to be no ques-
ton but that the bridge is
needed. Not only will it provide
"a necessary service in its own
right but it will provide a neces-
sary link in the circumferentiaI
route that promises to afford
such a large measure of relief
for the now congested roads of
Fairfax and Arlington Counties"
Inasmuch as the bridge is in
the Federal system Of interstate
highways. whereby the Govern
ment would pay 80 per cent Of
the cost. the report says, ut now
seems beside the point to con-
slider the construction of a toll
bridge"

"One Of our women volun,

she was driving for the Motor

driver, too. They've been
married six or seven years
now, and both of them are
still on our Motor Corps vol
unteer list.
I'VE have several husband
and wife teams working as
volunteers, but mostly it's
work for women.
1.-THE problem Of recruitment
has become so big that we de-
cided to have this open house
to show what our volunteers
do. We need Gray Ladies,
for example, to do things like
write letters for people in hos

personal services that the
nurses don't have time for"

Coy Old Dogs Go
For Gray Ladies'
By JACK JONAS

Over at Red Cross head
quarters today, they're show
ing of for visitors in the hope
that perhaps 500 of them will
get interested enough to come
back for volunteer work, or
pass the word along to their
friends.
There'll be so many visitors
that there won't be time to tell
them all about those gay old
dogs at the Soldiers Home.
There won't be an oppor-
tunity, either, to tell about the
little old lady, in the hospital
for many weeks, who wanted
more than anything else to
have her hair plated, and the
nurses naturally didn't have
time.
There won't even be time
to tell about the motorized
romance.
This is, necessarily, a ma
terial display to show what
the volunteers do in the time
they spend at the Red Cross.

headquarters said, has special

many of our volunteers are
service wives, and when their
husbands are transferred, we

take the wives places.
MANY of the embassy
people-more than you'd think
do volunteer work, and of
course the embassy stats
