The parkway is a vital link

Five Objections
Five objections had beer
raised. The planning body yes

l. A parkway underpass of the
Sousa Bridge would be almost
impossible, since it would require
raising the bridge TO a height
that would require its extension
to Minnesota avenue.
2. The parkway's danger" a.
an artificial barrier between
Anacostia Park and the residen.
tial area would be obviated BY
building a fence along thu

Alexandria has put off a de-
cision for another month. Fair
fax got $88,700 below it's request
and Arlington got $78,967 less.
Miss Frances Duffey, Fairfax
welfare director and John How
ell, Arlington welfare director,
both described the assistance
reductions as the hardest sit
uation they ever have had to
face in their respective careers
in welfare work.
Needy Children Affected
Affected by the cutbacks are
some $50 children in the needy
families of the two counties.
The Fairfax reductions range
from IS to $50 per case, and the
Arlington reductions range from
81 to $40. Most cuts fall be-
tween $50 and $40.
Despite the State cutbacks, the
Fairfax Supervisors decided to
leave their full amount Of match
ing funds in the welfare budget
TO help soften the blow. The
Arlington Welfare Board will
confer with the County Board
on August 6 to decide what TO
do in that county.
The local welfare budget re-
quests for the entire State
amounted TO $24.5 million for
the 1867 fiscal year but the
State approved only 1928 mil
lion.
North Virginia Hit Hard
+ Miss Dufiey and Mr.. Howell
agreed that the cutbacks were
particularly crucial in Northern
Virginia, because the cost Of
housing is higher here. In a
number Of cases. they said, the
grants barely cover the cost Of
rents. with practically nothing
left over for food and clothes.
Affected in Fairfax are 10 old
age assistance cases. 7 disabled
persons and 40 families receiv-
ing assistance under the Aid 70
Dependent Children program.
There are 1874 children in these
Fairfax families. Typical Of the

assistance reductions are these,
said Miss Duffey:
One man and his wife and six
children who had been receiving
$204.50 per month are getting
only $165 this month. The man
has a crushed leg and cannot
work for some time. 1t is a
family that normally takes care
of itself, but cannot while the
broadwinner is disabled.
The monthly grant from
another couple with four children
has been cut from SIT to $123.
The man is a good worker when
he is well, but has rheumatic
fever too seriously at present to
support his family.
TB Victim Cut to SIS
A man seriously i'll with tu-
berculosis who is nursed by his
wife had his grant cut from
$3.50 TO SIS. Miss Duffey said
the couple was barely getting
along before the reduction.
A 72-year-old man, whose all
lotment was cut from $65 TO SIS,
told the Welfare Department
This made me sick all over
you aren't going TO have to pay
me much longer-I'm 70 now.
I'm sorry TO be so much trouble"
Mr.. Howell said even before
the reductions we're made, assist
ance grants we're dangerously low
in a number Of cases.
Affected by the cuts in Arling-
ton are 30 aid TO dependent chill.

Miss Barbara Watkins, Alex

ductions too late 10 discuss the
matter with the City Council.
She said Alexandria welfare
cases would not be cut this
month until she has chance TO

SEQ Dog SnurIs
At Bridge Tender
By JACK JONAS

A big LIST paid a visit to
Washington's docks last week
to take a group of civilians on
a short trip down the Potomac,
and everything went fine on
the down-river voyage.
But coming back, the ship
at 327 feet one of the big
geSt to dock here-was IS min
uteS ahead of schedule at the
South Capitol street bridge. A
blast on its horn brought no
response from the bridge
tenders.
Maybe it's because we're
too early" someone suggested.
Nonsense" a Navy man
said. Navy ships can go
through these bridges any
time"
There were several more
fruitless blasts from the horn.
Then, at last, four men burst
from the tenders house in a
furry of belated energy and
hustled about opening the
draw SO the huge ship could
squeeze through.
AS it passed, the LISTS
bridge was at about the same
level as the river bridge floor.
Sorry, cap'n," one of the
bridge tenders shouted.
