his stand on the H-bomb tests
A reporter asked the President
his impressions. as ne viewed the
inauguration ceremonies for his
second term in the White House.
Mr. Eisenhower replied that
his first idea regarding the cere-
monies. which brought thousands
of people to Washington, was
that to have these ceremonies on
the same scale as his first in
auguratioh seemed rather odd,
But he added as he saw the
great number of people who
came here for the Inauguration
and who wanted to come here
he realized that these cere-
monies meant much to them. He
indicated it would perhaps be
a mistake to abandon them. Ano

Council and Alexandria agreed
lon general plans for the route
during q four-hour session in
the George Mason Hotel.
They concluded construction
should get underway soon to
aid development Of the Port Of
Alexandria and to meet the
growing volume of tourist and
commuter trafic in the area.
The proposed bypass would
leave the present route of the
Mount Vernon Memorial park
way at Dangerf1eld Island north
of the PEPCO power plant and
run south along the waterfront.
An interchange would connect
the bypass with the future
Woodrow Wilson Bridge APP
proach on Jones Point.
Elevated Highway
The bypass, which would be
elevated along the waterfront
in the manner similar to the
Whitehurst freeway along the
Georgetown waterfront, would
rejoin the present parkway
route near Hunting Greek
south of Alexandria.
The City Council feels that
with development of the port
and considering the traffic we
already have, a river-front
highway would be a terrific adj
dition." said Mayor Leroy s.
Bendheim.
THE situation is relatively
fluid on the waterfront now
and costs relatively low COM
pared to 20 years from now, -
John Nolen, jr.. director of the

would aid the port and trans
portation. We ought to pursue
