On School Aid

The United States Chamber
of Commerce. which opposes
Federal aid for school construc-
ton, has released figures it says
shows how many classrooms
each State would gain--or pay
for in other States-under two
leading Federal aid proposals.
The chamber claims the Dis
trict, for example, together with
II States, would help pay for
classrooms in other States under
each bill. 1t estimates some 80
States would gain.
In circulars distributed 70 its
local member chapters, the
chamber indicated that New York
State would be the heavy Loser
and North Carolina the big
gamer under either the admin
istration bill OF the bill intro
duced by Representative Kelley
Democrat Of Pennsylvania.
The chamher calculated now
much each State would receive
under each bill and set these
against It's estimates of how
much each State would have te
pay IN income taxes to financC
each plan.
Under the administration plan
The chamber said, New Yorl
would be paying out 80 much
more than 1t received that i
would in effect be paying foi

is Washington the gabbiest
city in the world?
If it's true, as grandma
used to say, that the telephone
is an instrument of the devil.
the Nations Capital must be
pretty sinful.
The people at the telephone
company, however, would like
to believe it's something else
that makes Washington head
the list of users, with 642 tele-
phones for every 1000 persons.
The trouble is they aren't
sure what the something
else" is.
The information about the
high use of telephones here
was passed along in that
chatty little publication the
phone company slips into the
envelope with its monthly bill
to deaden the shock of another
blow to the household budget.
Well, the Government uses
a lot of telephones in Wash
ington. Anybody who has
ever called a Government
agency for information can
tell that from the number of
extensions to which he's
switched before he gets his
answer.
But a man at the telephone
company said he wasn't sure
that was what did it. Some
other large cities also have big
users of a type Washington
doesn't have.

Forest Hills Group
Demands Action

A community drive to have
the Park Road Bridge over Piney
Branch parkway repaired or re-
placed is being organized by a
committee of the Forest Hills
Citizens Association.
A resolution of the associa-
tons Executive Committee de-
clared the citizens body is

pleased with the disruption Of
crosstown. downtown and North

ing of the bridge last August.
The group resolved to ask the
District Commissioners and the
National Park Service. If neces-
sary, to take steps promptly to
repair. rebuild or replace the
bridge so that it may be re-
opened soon.
A committee headed by Roll

objective. The committee has
sought the cooperation of the
Cathedral Heights Cleveland

The Forest Hills group took
action after the association was
advised there are no present

crucial problem of financing.
The chairman said it is his
hope to have not only a new
blueprint of construction needs
but also a financing program
drawn up in time to get any
legislative proposals to this ses-
sion of Congress.
The Dunn committee was cre-
ated by the Commissioners two
weeks ago to review and bring
up to date the city's existing 1905
million work program. launched
three years ago.
To Consider School Borrowing
A Board of Education proposal
for borrowing to finance new
classrooms is among things to
be considered by the group.
Mr.. Dunn said, after yester-
days closed committee session,
that he had given no specific in
structions. He said the commit
tees task had already been out
lined by Brig. Gen. Thomas A.
Lane. Engineer Commissioner.
Gen. Lane spoke to the group
briefly. He said afterward that
he merely summarized a pre-
vious report in which he urged
the creation of the committee
and listed problems with which
it should deal.
Members were given packets
containing reports on the present
works program and on congress
