Boss Is Best
Fishing Bet
ForWeek Enc
By BILL LEETCH

AS this is being written, east
erly winds and cooler weather
do not augur too we'll for fishing
this week end. However. II the
winds diminish and the sun
warns things up again. fresh
water fishing, at least, should
be good.
Don't forget that there are
still a few days left for bass
fishing in the Shenandoah River
in Virginia. The season ends
west of the Blue Ridge next
Tuesday. Fred O'Rourke. with
whom we talked yesterday, had
a wonderful morning on the
North Fork until a line storm
put the fish down for good. This
branch Of the Shenandoah is a
little high but from last reports
was running clear. with small
mouths, rock bass and bluegills
biting freely. The South Fork
has been somewhat roilly. but
was clear at Harpers Ferry in
mid-week. This seems a good
bet for the week end, for If the
bass fishing doesn't fit in. there
are many good trout streams
within easy run.
Bay fishing is still some dis
tance in the offlng, according to
Gus Berlitz of Deale. with whom
We talked yesterday. Hardheads.
pall-sized rockfish and some
crabs have been turning up in
the nets. but until Wednesday
only an occasional rockfish was
being caught. fishing on the bot
tom with blood worms.
On Wednesday a party Of four
Washington anglers visited East
ern Bay and came back with
seven rockfish weighing from
2 to Z pounds. They we're Charles
Marshall, Edward Hunter. c. r.
Harding and Harry Cooper. The
fish struck on small white buck
tails trolled near the surface.
The hardheads being taken In
the nets have been slightly
larger than those caught at
this time last year. which is
good news. as the pinhead
croakers present for several
years have been q nuisance.

u. S. Air Routes
For Foreign Lines
By The Associated Press

The President Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
today said the State Department
appears to be operating a "give-
away" program with valuable
United States air transport
routes"
Philip M. Talbot of Wash
ington particularly singled out
recent grants of a San Francisco

lines Of Australia, and a Hous-
ton, Tex. routing to the Dutch
kim Lines.

aside from the bad bargain
ing represented in this agree
Iment," he said, permission for
the Australians to fly from San
Francisco to Europe via New
York superimposed their serv-
ices on that Of the United States
domestic carriers. The recent
Dutch agreement is another case
which permitted foreign services
to overlap domestic carriers on
flights into Texas. -.
ut would seem that the State
Departments apparent concept
that valuable air rights must be
given away in order to preserve
friendship abroad should be
carefully re-examined."

its way elsewheree. Many other
projects are due during the next
10 years.
Tomorrow's closing of the
Military road section of Six
teenth street represents a nec-
esSary evil highway officials
hope to keep to a minimum.
Engineers are working closely
with traffic experts in plotting all
construction. Whenever feasible,
they plan to keep at least a por-
ton Of roadways involved in the
construction open to use.
Cars using Sixteenth street
will only be required to detour
for the space Of a few blocks.
Those northbound will, turn
right at Montague street, turn
northward one block eastward
onto Fourteenth. and turn west
back to Sixteenth on Ritten-
house, four blocks to the north
Of Montague.
Southbound traffic will leave
Sixteenth street at Fort Stevens
drive, proceed a block to Four
lteenth. turn southwark again
and return to Sixteenth street by
way Of Nicholson street, a block
north of Montague.
The detour, while it will not
affect tomorrow mornings rush
traffic. will be in full effect wher
motorists take the homewaro
trek.
Traffic officials said policemen
will be stationed at Rittenhouse
and Montague streets to help
the flow.
The new bridge is necessitated
by the rebuilding of Military
road into a four and six lane
divided highway. At Sixteenth
street it will be relocated some
what south of the present bridge
which is to be abandoned. The
new construction is scheduled tc
be finished in 800 days.

Road Projects to Lounch
Era Of Detours in District
BY JAMES G. DEANE

A new era of detours and tenn
porary Illustrations is about to
open for motorists using the
thoroughfares Of Washington.
The District, like the rest of
the Nation, is launching an un-
precedented highway building
program with massive financial
aid from the Federal Govern
ment. Ultimately, the new road
ways will be a great boon to the
automobile user.
But in the meantime, a cres-
cendo Of unavoidable diversions
and delays is in store. For TO
build the new roads, the en-
gineers must temporarily push
the motorist aside.
Sixteenth Street Affected
Washington motorists, and
those using the Capitals streets
to commute between their jobs
and the suburbs. will be given
their first major taste tomorrow
Of what this interim era will be
like.
The $4,000 or more cars that
travel up and down Sixteenth
street NV. on a week day will
f1nd themselves blocked in mid
passage.
At $3.50 tomorrow morning, the
Highway Department will erect
barricades and unveil "detour"
signs at Montague street and
Fort Stevens drive. Cars will be
shunted a block to the east, be-
cause of the construction of a
new bridge across Military road
and a finger Of Rock Creek
Park.
This short section Of Sixteenth
street viii be closed for almost
a year. This inevitably will have
repercussions on traffic on near
by north-south arteries, includ-
ing Thirteenth street, Georgia
avenue and Connecticut avenue.
BIadensburg Road Next
Within the next few days,
workmen will begin another
major road project, the rebuild
ing of Bladensburg road from
Twenty-fourth street NE. to the
District line.
Bladensburg road is the Route
/ truck highway to the north.
The rebuilding. while it will not
halt traffic entirely, may slow
it frequently to a crawl. 1t, too,
is expected to require almost a
year.
BY fall. the city expects to be-
gin work on at least two other
major projects. One is the Wild
ening of a lengthy. stretch on
Vermont. Sherman and New
Hampshire avenues to Grant
circle. A second is repaving ana
channelizing of four important
croSstown streets-Kenyon, Har-
ward. Irving and Columbia road
from Park place to Klinele
road.
Within the next year or so,
nearly a score of other major
projects are expected to get UNI
der way. and all will cause traf-
nc temporarily to slow or find
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-30

way officials said they plan to
do the rebuilding a block at a
time.
The Highway Department
hopes to be ready to proceed by
next winter or spring with these
additional projects all of which,
will temporarily dislocate traffic:
Replacement of the present
southbound Fourteenth street
bridge.
Underpass Of South Capitol
street at M street for the new
Southwest-Southeast freeway.
Overpass Of Pennsylvania av-
enue Sc. for the new Anacostia
freeway.
Widening and repaving of
Michigan avenue NE. from
Fourth street to the District line.
Conversion of Rhode Island
avenue to a divided highway
from Logan circle to Fourth
street NE, and later to the Dis
trict line.
New Viaduct Planned
Other projects planned for an
early start include a new south
bound Benning road viaduct, an
additional bridge on Eleventh
street S. E., widening and extern
sion of Deane avenue NE, wild
ening and repaving of Four
teenth and Seventeenth streets
NE. between Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Benning road, rebuild
ing Of North Capitol street above
NJ. and repaving of M street
from Twenty-ninth to Thirty
sixth streets NV, in George
