CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
NO.. so

EVERY o AND again someone, and especially a
civic pride and responsibility, The thought is a lofty one and
should by all means be fostered and given top priority.
IN ANY PROBLEM, regardless of the nature. two de-
Examinations are necessary the cause and the cure. The lack
of civic pride and responsibility is caused through the lack
of proper and effective leadership, which in turn was caused
by a complete misconcepton Of that responsibility. STEPPED
in tradition which had its roots in a vicious caste system,
these Islands did not move. The logical result: s~tagnation.
TIME WAS, IF anyone wants to dsproye it, when pro.
gress was at a premium because those who led decreed that
forward steps could be made only by those considered fit and
proper according to their standards. So that unless one Of a
choice or select group was assigned or accepted, nothing
could be done. Perhaps there is some Of 1t still left, but 1t is
waning.
THE CURE: Begin with the schools, and look towards
a long range program in which each individual child Is i'm
pressed with his role in the community, This done, he will
certainly feel a high sense Of responsibility by the time he
reaches manhood. If the child knows that the sky may be
his limit; that he can, if he has what it takes, aspire to be
whatever he wishes, then 1t naturally follows that he will
want the best for his beautiful home. Contrarywise, If at the
very outset the child is made to understand that his life is
limited, and that there is no way possible for him to climb,
then It is natural that he will be interested in nothing, and
find his answer in promptly going off to the United States
at the first possible opportunity
THERE ARE STILL a few civicsninded citizens
around, and these can become the nucleus of something fine
and important. Any community will have its faithful rev
who carry on regardless Of the difficulties. If these men and
women can be called upon, then everything is not lost

The congestion over Ma

Alexandria Mayor Leroy

noisy, low-flying airplanes

The complaint is an old

the city to pass a law ban

lower than 1000 feet over
the city.
The Mayor said today he
has been told by the WASH

Nationals best traffic figure

Senate action on the measure

Senators Map Moves
Get Okoy on Stadium

Leaders Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee will make a
new effort to gain Senate APP
proval of a bill to authorize the
construction of a memorial
stadium here costing up to Sc
million and seating as many
as $4,000.
The bill. similar to one passed
by the House. was blocked yes
terday in the Senate on a call
of the consent calendar by
an objection from Senator
Lausche. Democrat of Ohio.
The Ohio Senator objected
on the ground the expense
would be inf1ationary. He re-
ferred to recommendations
made some time ago by Presi-
dent Eisenhower on other mat
tiers that to hold down on intla-
ton only essential Government
construction should be started.
This spanked some rapid fire
debate from half a dozen Sem
ators favoring the bill. who
argued that the Government
would not be obligated In con-
nection with this project. which
was to be self-supporting and
financed through the sale of
revenue bonds.
Senator Bible, Democrats of
Nevada. speaking for the Dis
trict Committee. said later he
would consult with Senate lead
ers in the hope that, once the
civil rights measure clears the
Senate. a time could be set for
stadium action. This would be
done on motion to take up the

authorization to spend up to
$24 million on the project.
The closed-door meeting
lasted for nearly two hours.
None Of the participants would
give a clue as to the course
of the discussion. Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin refused
to give any comment when
asked if White House support
for immediate construction OF
the bridge would be sought.
A total of $35O,O00 actually
is available in District funds
for planning the structure and
taking care of preliminary con-
struction. Another $3.5 million
in Federal highway aid money
also is available to launch the
project.
Meanwhile. another compli-
cation which arose yesterday
is being Smoothed out. High
way Director Robertson for
mally requested the Washington
Engineer District of the Army
Engineer Corps to extend its
permit to build the bridge
across this navigable stretch of
the Potomac River.
The permit initially granted
is due to expire August %. 1t
allows a fixed center span.
Some factions. in and out of
Congress. have called for either
a draw span for the bridge or
the complete substitution of a
four-lane tunnel for the pro-
posed six-lane bridge.
Col. Alvin c. yelling. Dis
tritt Engineer Commissioner, is
understood to be in favor of
the Highway Department view.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, president Of
the Board of Commissioners,
has stated he wants a little

more time to study present cost
estimates Of the project.
These have dropped sub
stantially since the original $24
million authorization. The re-
duction in estimates is due
mainly to perfection of engi-
neering details and changes in
design for the approach roads
to the structure.
The estimates now stand at
SIS million for a pre-stressed
concrete structure with fixed
span. and $3.2 million more
for steel and concrete construc-
ton. A draw span structure
would cost STA million in pre-
stressed concrete, and sos
million in steel and concrete.
Two Senators last night,
meanwhile. urged immediate
commencement of the bridge
project. Senator Allott, Re-
publican Of Colorado. asserted
the city should start to build,
and build quickly" He took
this position, he said notwith-
standing the fact that he is
a member of the National Mon
uments Commission torn be-
tween loyalties. The Colo
radan said that although he
ideally would prefer to have the
west shore of the Potomac open
to erect a monument to the
Five Freedoms. he realizes that
traffic needs demand immediate
construction of a new river
crossing between Virginia and
downtown Washington.
Senator Bible, Democrat of
asserted the record is
"abundantly clear" that a
bridge is not only needed but
fully authorized. II urge that
the bridge be built without fur
ther delay" the Senator said.
