House Budget Group Hears
District Highway Director
Unit Studying
$22.6 Million
Rood Request
BY ALEX r. PRESTON


Highway Director j. N. Rob-
ertson went before a House APP
preparations subcommittee this
afternoon to support requests for
Ia record $22.6 million road
building program in the District.
The subcommittee in charge
of the Districts $207 million
budget continued its closed
hearings after completing testi-
mony from spokesman repre-
Isenting about three-fourths of
the citys departments.
Appropriations requested by
President Eisenhower in his
budget message to Congress last
January included funds to COM
Imence construction on three
bridges.
One item is for $350,000 to
start building a span across the
Potomac River at Constitution
avenue; another is 1865 900 to
begin construction of a replace
ment for the old Fourteenth
Street Bridge, carrying south
bound traffic, and the third is
for 81 million to commence work
on new bridge a short dis
lance upstream from and paral-
lei to the Eleventh Street Bridge.
across the Anacostia River.
Issue BeclOuded
The Constitution avenue cross
ing is still beclouded. On Thurs
day. House District Subcom-
mittee will continue hearings on
two bills by Representative Broy-
hill Republican of Virginia, pro-
viding either for bridge or a
tunnel across the river there.
Legislation increasing the total
cost of the two spans across the
river at Fourteenth street from
81 million to SIC million has
been introduced in both Houses
of Congress. One of the bills
cleared a Senate District sub
committee last week.
Originally the 81 million was
to cover cost of both bridges.
All but 100000 was used up in
building the bridge for north
bound traffic which was started
in 1850. The additional SO mil
lion for the South-bound bridge
reflects today's high construc-
ton costs.
Other Proposals
/ Among major projects in the
proposed Districts budget for
highways are S1.8 million to
start construction and to &C
quire land for the Anacostia
Freeway between the projected
Jones Point Bridge and East
Capitol street: SPA million on
the Southwest Freeway, $40 mil
lion on the Inner Loop express
way between South Capitol and
Fourth streets Sc. and S3.7
million to acquire land for the
Inner Loop expresSway between
Washington circle and E street
NV. in Foggy Bottom.
/ Yesterday, as the House APP
preparations Subcommittee be-
gan its second week of secret
hearings on the District budget,
testimony was taken from DR..
Daniel L. Finucane, health off,
Ger. BY the end of the day all
of that departments requests,
Itotaling 1923 million, had been
heard.
Subcommittee Chairman Ra-
baut, Democrat of Michigan, has
declined to discuss progress of
two investigations he has ordered
into the activities of the Health
Department and at District Gen
eral Hospital.
Gerard M. Shea, director of
the Department of Public We'll
fare. was the lead-of witness
this morning. The closed phase
OF the hearings may be COM
pleted by the end of this week
or early next week. Mr.. Rabaut
said one or two days will be
devoted to public hearings.

Embarrassing INDUSTRY
CHANGING FAST IN N. C

The Embarrassing industry in
this state, as well as in other
areas, is changing fast, according
to experts in the field.
r. S. Douglas, forestry special
list for the N. C. Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at State College,
says good indication of the
change is the attitude of sawmill
operators toward land ownerhsip
and timber production.
Douglas says a few years ago
practically no sawmill operators
felt they could afford to own land
and wait for a new crop of tim
Der to grow. Now many of them
have found it good business. Not
only are they holding timber
producing land, they are carrying
out good forestry practices to in
crease timber production.
Some of these practices, says
Douglas, require the investment
of sizeable sums of money that
will be returned with good inter.
est in sawlogs 40 years from now
"These sawmill operators, like
many North Carolina farmers,
have found that investing in tim
Der production pays good interest
The investment in young pines
pays off," concluded Douglas.

BRIDGES DON'T OPEN FOR
FISH POLES AND ANTENNA
Steps Taken by Army To Consider
Needs Of Heavy Traffic Over
inland Water Bridges

Wilmington, September 16 =
The Army's new regulation on the
opening of bridges on the Intra-
coastal Waterway has evoked
numerous inquiries but no com
plants so far about the ID bridges
across the inland route in North
Carolina.
Requests for information about
the new ruling concern, in prac-
tically all instances, the vertical
clearances of the several bridges.
This indicates, says Colonel H
C. Rowland, Jr., of the Corps OF
Engineers, that owners and oper-
ators of boats are taking steps to
meet terms of the Army order.
Colonel Rowland is District
Engineer of the Corps Whining
ton District, which exercises
supervision over the 300-mile Sec
ton of the waterway in NORTH
Carolina.
Briefly, the District Engineer
points out, boat owners should re
arrange all superstructure append
ages such as radio antennae ant
fishing rigs SO that they may bt
lowered and thus reduce to a min
imum the opening of bridges.
By so doing, he says, fewer
traffic tie-ups will result and par
ticularly at bridges leading tt
beaches where traffic is heaviest
at certain hours.
Bridgetenders must continue tt
open bridges at the three-blast
signal for clearance. However, il
the tender has reason to believe
that boat has attachments which
could be lowered and not require
the bridge to open, he will make
report for an investigation by
the Corps of Engineers.
1t was explained that the regu.
lation, which became effective
September 5, is not intended tc
impose a burden on navigation
but rather to remove unnecessary
obstacles so that both water anC
land traffic will flow with fewer
interruptions.
Following are the vertical clear.

ranging up to 300 feet in open
waters.

today?
mo. 4-Who you would recon-
mend to be good mayor after
today.
Thanks very much,
"Yogi, Hank, Bob F."
Now, since it is doubtful that
Yogi, Hank and Bob had much
time for writing letters between
games, and since it is also doubt
full that they would indulge in such
over-confident growing before the
series ended, it seemed likely that
their names had been forged by
some local Yankee fans. There is
no positive proof as to their iden-
tity, but since Thursday there has
been a noticeable lack of exuber-
ance around two business estab-
lishments-the Colonial Store and
Western Auto. Customers have
noted that the managers of those
establishments have avoided the
front entrances and even seem to
be afraid of something. Could it be
that they expect the police with a
warrant charging forgery? More
likely, they just don't want to lis
ten to that last laugh.
1t is a good thing that the Ser
les is over once more. Now, per-
haps business will proceed as
usual. Perhaps teachers can even
get the attention of their male stu
dents for an hour, though some
thing else will probably come
along. Even "Sputnick", the Rus
slams new moon, couldn't divert
the minds of Americas baseball
fans from the burning question of

Come to think of it, though,
things aren't likely to get back to
normal for some time. The foot

then it will be time for the base
