To Go Ahead on BRIDGE

The Commissioners have asked
the Controller General whether
they may legally go ahead and
build the Constitution avenue
bridge over Roosevelt Island de-
spite failure of Congress to enact
legislation specifying the site.
Although general agreement
has been reached that the bridge
should take a route over the
island rather than the previously
authorized one between Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge and the
southern tip of the island. Con-
gress adjourned without approx
ing the new route amendment.
The city heads have written a
letter to Controller General
Campbell asking that he review
the situation and let them know
whether the funds appropriated
for construction OF the bridge
are now available for building
~ at the new location.
The city has $50 million to be-
gin construction Of the six-lane

Mr.. Adams was in Gov.
Herter's Office for about 5
minutes.

Adams out as he left the Gov

Mr. Adams made sure there
were none, too, by holding his
hands over his face.
Gov. Herter later said he had
not expected the former New
Hampshire Governor who he
said was passing through town
and came in to pay his respects

Mr.. Adams visit was about an

said he doesn't even want to talk

Since then District and Federal
officials have come to agreement
the bridge should be built across
the island.
A favorable opinion from the
Controller General presumably
would mean work could begin on
the first step, a retaining wall on
the Virginia shore, by January
or February.
Otherwise. additional time
must be lost waiting for Congress
to return in January and enact
the legislation.
Actually, both the House and
Senate had approved the route
change before Congress ad-
journed. In conference. however
the House insisted that a SIS
million draw span be required
in the bridge. The Senate re-
fused to go along, so no action
was taken on the conference re-
port.

Thompson Loses Appeal
For Disability Payments
BY the Associated Press

Robert G.. Thompson. con-
victed Communist Party official,
today lost his appeal for restora-
ton of Government payments for
a disability he incurred in the
Army in World War II. when he
earned the Distinguished Service
Cross.
The Veterans Administration
announced that its Board Of APP
peals had found that Thompson
gave aid to the enemy by
speeches he made during the
Korean War and therefore is not
eligible for the disability pay
ments.
A VA spokesman said the de-
ciSion is final and that Thomp-
son. now in the Federal peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta. has no
further avenue to appeal.
Thompson contracted tuber-
culosis while serving in the
Pacific. He was classified for a
time as 100 per cent disabled and
was receiving payments Of $3.50
monthly.
The payments were suspended
in 1851 when he jumped bail
after being convicted with 10
other top United States Com
munist Party leaders OF advocat-
ing forcible overthrow Of the
Government.
VA said II he we're still eligible.

his tuberculosis is classed as hav-
ing been arrested.

Thompson's wife and two chill
dren are now receiving IAN APP

which VA withheld from Thomp-
son. A spokesman said this
amounted TO s30.l5 monthly and
will not be affected by the de-
,ision.

as retired army officer.
"Provocation, he said firmly.
Are we going to let this puppet
Hitler intimidate the West?
The only efficient measure is
military reoccoupation of the
canal zone
This is slap in the face.
What are we waiting for?"
The extreme of moderation
was expressed by a friend who
said, lit seems to me that Nasser
had the right to take the canal,
provided he keeps it open to- all
ships without raising tolls and
pays back the stockholders" He
added. however, that he had no
faith that Col. NaSser would do
any of those three things.
One share of Suez stock, Incl
dentally, was worth about $500.
There are some 100000 worried
shareholders in France.

Mr.. Donohue said he hac

the delegate votes will follow
Senator Kefauver and be cast
for Stevenson, Mr.. Donohut
continued. He added he fell

When it was suggested that

about the nomination of Sena-

had never declared himself q

Peace Threat Cited,
RESPONSES Logging
On London PurIey

LONDON. Aug. Z Pl.-Cairo
sources said today Egypt may
rush an appeal to the United
Nations Security Council in the
Suez Canal case ahead of the
August Is conference sponsored
in London by the Big Three
Western powers.
An informant close TO Presi-
dent Canal Abdel Nasser said
the Egyptians were considering
complaining to the Security
Council that British and French
military movements and parlia-
mentary statements were a
threat to peace.
II an appeal is made, he said,
it would be before the August 16
date.
Replies to invitations to the
24-nation conference called by
Britain, France and the United
States were tagging.
No Advance Approval
Sir George Young. head of the
British Foreign Office news de-
partment. announced that at
tendance did not imply advance
approval of the idea of putting
the Suez Canal under interna-
tional control.
| He said Britain. France and
United States had agreed on the
principle of international control.
and that the conference would
discuss the idea. but that other
countries attending could put
forward their own proposals.
His statement seemed aimed
at such invited countries as In
dia, Ceylon and Indonesia, which
have been heSitating over their
replies. Some diplomats have re-
ported that these. countries were
holding off because it might APP
pear they were approving the
principle of Decentralization
beforehand.
Sir George refused to reply to
a news conference question
whether the British government
considered itself bound before
hand to any conference decisions.
Nasser Standing Firm
/ Prime Minister Eden has de-
,clared that Britain is resolved
not to accept the unfettered con-
Itrol OF the canal by Egypt.
Sources close to Col. NasSer on
the other hand have reported
that he was ready to fight rather
than permit the canal to pass
under international control.
Western sources had doubted
Egypt would go to the U. N. since
this would recognize the current
crisis is matter of serious in
ternaGonal concern. The Egyp-
tan position has been that ma
tionalization of the canal is an
internal Egyptian matter.
An Egyptian source pointed
out, however, that Egypt would
not go to the Security Council
with the canal case but with
complaint against British and
French threats to use force.
