Home Building Effect Seen
Thus. management and labor
elements involved in converse

sides conceded that practices

prospective homeowners would

Resolution Coils on

To Act at Once
By ALEX r. PRESTON
star staff Wr,ker

The District Commissioners
will be urged to proceed at
once" with construction with
the Constitution Avenue Bridge
in legislation to be introduced
in Congress today.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican Of Virginia. said his
resolution is designed to neu-
tralize any pressure" the Com
nissioners may feel to delay
the project in view of develop
ments on Capitol Hill in the.
last two days.
Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat of Wyoming, and Repre-
sentative Saylor, Republican of
Pennsylvania. have introduced
identical measures that would
revive the old bridge-vs. -tunnel
controversy by holding up con-
struction.
MY resolution" Mr.. Broy-
hill said, will shore UP, If
necessary, the Commissioners
so they won't think there's too
much sentiment up here to
halt the job"
Bitter Fight Last Year
After Q bitter fight in the
House last year, a Broyhill
bill calling for a tunnel,
amended to provide for a bridge
with a fixed drawspan" was
finally sent back to the District
committee.
The Commissioners then be-
gan work on the span under
authority of another Broyhill-
sponsored act of Congress Of
1854.
An O'Mahoney bill authoriz-
ing a tunnel, passed the Senate
and has reposed in the House
District Committee since. Sem
ator O'Mahoney contends the
House has not had an oppor-
tunity to act on his proposal.
After the battle we had"
Mr.. Broyhill said today. Il
don't see how anyone can con-
tend that that issue has not
been settled in the House."
The lawmaker represents the
nearby Virginia area which
stands to benefit from the river
crossing. He said he will ask
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee to
call UP the O'Mahoney-Saylor
proposal at its next meeting.
Confident Of Action
IF it's action they want"
Mr.. Broyhill said with some
feeling, "by golly they'll get it.
] am confident they'll back me
UP. I'm not going to ask for q
special meeting of the commit

The Senator said that "for
