The District Highway De-
partment may seek bids by the
end Of this month for the first

ton avenue bridge over the

The Districts intention to

asked the city to submit the
controversial bridge plan to aim
for approval.
Mr.. Seaton had said he was
acting under authority Of a
statement issued by President
Eisenhower in 1854 which said
the Secretary should review
and approve the bridge plan
which affects the Federal park
area.
The Districts decision to 90
ahead with the construction
- soon as possible apparently
was not slowed down by Mr.
Seaton's request.
City highway officials said the
construction plan must be APP
proved by the Federal Bureau
Of Public Roads before they can
be advertised. The two plans
involved now are in hands OF
engineering consultants but are
expected to be sent to the Dis
trict this week.
@. I. Sawyer. Highway De-
partment design chief. said his
department hoped an additional
small construction contract
could be advertised in March
This job would involve two
small approach bridges on the
Virginia side Of the river. De-
signs for them are being drawn
so they can be submitted to the

A court challenge Of Vir-
ginia's segregated seating law
began in Arlington today with

tive Broyhill declining to APP
pear on subpoenas under their
congressional immunity.
Other subpoenaed witnesses

one who has any ascertainabls
amount. Under questioning by
Defense Attorney David Car
liner. Mr.. Battle said that he
did not recall any particular
racial tensions or problems In
Virginia at the time when the
racial definition was adopted.
Mr.. Battle went on to say
that he was very firmly Of the
opinion" that the recent United
States Supreme Court deseg-
regation decisions have caused
feeling Of tension between
the races which did not exist
before"
Judge Reid Testifies
Another subpoenaed witness
who testified at the opening OF
the trial was Arlington Juve-

Authorized Payments Not Made
Both noted that Congress
