attention focused on the annual
grand fireworks display at the
Washington Monument Grounds.
Everybody lucky enough to
have annual leave planned to
make this four-day outing, and
it looked like particularly pro-
ductive period for the beach and
mountain resorts.
Weather slightly warmer than
today's with plenty of sunshine
was forecast for tomorrow. The
four-day period will average only
slightly above normal tempera-
lures. This morning the mer-
curry dropped to go degrees, seven
points higher than the all-time
low for June 3. set in 1918.
Traffic Safety Urges
In the outward bound rush
starting this evening will be
about 10000 area cars moving
some 285.OOO persons. Recalling
that 49l persons died on the
highways, and 1893 died from all
causes over the Nation during
the last four day Fourth holiday
in 1850. safety experts urged
motorists to use their heads and
save lives.
About 100000 persons are ex-
pected to watch the fireworks
program at the Monument
Grounds starting at 8 pm. They
will hear the United States Ma
rine Band, the Navy Sea Chant

by Fague Springman. and short
talk by Walter Williams, Under

Another Rock Creek Job
To Jar Drivers Serenity

Another traffic bottleneck at
the north end of Rock Creek
Park will add to the Illustrations
of Washington area motorists
beginning about mid-August.
The area involved is that
stretch of Beach drive between a
point just north of Military road
to Wise road NV.
This information was made
public by National Capital Parks
less than "a hours after the
agency announced it will cut off
half of the four lanes of traffic
on the Rock Creek and Potomac
parkway at the south end of the
park beginning in two weeks.
Roadway improvement is the
reason.
Further Complication
Meanwhile, another complica-
ton related to the traffic prob
lens in the area continues just
a few blocks east of the park
and south of the Sixteenth
street and Missouri avenue
Idetour.
This is the channelization-
resurfacing project of the Dis
trict Highway Department at the
six-way intersection of Four
tenth street, Kennedy street
and Colorado avenue NV. Traf-
fic signals also are being in
stalled.
Until the project is completed
about two weeks, traffic detoured
from Sixteenth street and flow
ing from other points is en-
countering a Fourteenth street
log-jam that requires the service
of two policemen during rush
hours.
The upper Beach drive work
will last about four months, ac-
cording to MOP estimates. It
involves resurfacing and gutter
ing similar to that which has
been in progress in the park for
the last year or so.
The construction on Rock
Creek and Potomac parkway be-
tween L and @ streets will bank
the curves in that area to make
them safer for travel. This prof.
ect will last about three months.

BILL PUT the rods together
and gave a lesson in fly cast
ing. He was a good teacher.
And, as they worked up
stream, the Rambler did learn
to put the fly where he wanted
it-once in a while.
In the first big pool, the
Rambler got a strike, but was
not quick enough in swapping
the line to set the hook.
Then his backcast snagged
a branch of a beech tree be-
hind him and he lost the fly,
a light Cahill. The Rambler
felt plenty guilty because he
had to call upon Bill to put a
new fly on the line.
The old master did it with
great dizziness, using an intri-
cate anglers knot and trim
ming off the loose end of
the leader with a fingernail
cutter.
After that the Rambler kept
the fly from snagging. 1t
seemed remarkable that it
could be cast beyond rocks,
cast and cast again and again
without becoming caught on
anything.
The air was amazing for a
July afternoon near Washing
ton, clear and cool. The
broken light through the trees
began to fail as the sun went
lower. II was hard to see the
fly on the surface.
Bill got his four trout-the
limit-out of little pools in
the stream where the UNI
initiated would expect nothing
larger than a minnow. One

from a pool the size of a desk
top
The Rambler failed, but he's
going to try again.

FILA Will Be Urged
To Grant Extension
BY JAMES G. DEANE

The Districts authority to
build 1900 public housing units
will run out in three weeks un-
less the Federal Housing Ad.
ministration grants an extension
James Ring, executive director
of the National Capital Housing
Authority, said today he will
approach FILA next week tt
urge a waiver of a July % dead
line.
The Federal agency granted
authority for the $500 units q
year ago without, however, know
ing where the housing would be
built. Difficulty in finding sites
has been impeding use of the
authorization.
NCHA has applied so far fol
only 174 of the 1900 authorized
units. These would be in the
Morton street development neal
Soldiers Home, which was ap-
proved last week by the District
Commissioners.
Proposes Purchase
The Housing Authority also
has proposed purchase of the
privately owned 103-unit Terrace
Apartments at Congress ano
Twenty-third streets Sc. But
a public hearing has not beer
held on this proposal. The Com
missioners yesterday set a hear
ing for 10 am. July 20.
Roy Little, head of the FILA
Washington regional Office, said
today the Federal agency is SYM
pathetic to the District problem
but said he could not commit the
|agency regarding the approach
ing deadline.
He pointed out that there i.
no precedent for the present
situation in which the NCHA
finds itself. This is because the
Federal Government has never
before granted an authorization
for public housing units without
knowing the intended sites.
Mr.. Little said there is nc
legal bar to extending the au-
Information. But he said he will
have to wait for Mr.. Ring to
come in and discuss the prob
lem before knowing what the
Federal agency may do.
Need Called Serious
Mr.. Ring said the need fol
additional public housing in the
District is already serious and "is
becoming more urgent every
day"
NCHA is looking forward to {
oenclt OF some 800 units which
are expected to be needed in thu
next several years. he said, bu
which are not in sight. These
are for families being displaced
by slum clearance. housing con
