She had set up an exhibit of

Traffic a Problem
She worried about the traf-
&c problem. Her room, on the

The cloakroom was at the other
end Of the room. She would
have the children, she decided,
come in the door, take a wide
swing on the far side of the
room by the windows and then
merge for the confusion of re-
moving jackets, sweaters and
hats near her desk, in back of
the room. 1t was a problem the
late John Dewey, the educator
and philosopher, had never
solved for future teachers.

she sat down at her desk and
went over her collection of stiff
white cards. On the cards. she
had typed out the dialogue she

Army OKs
Potomac Span
Fixed Structure PIun
Is Given Approval
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE
star stan Writer

The Secretary of the Army
has granted formal approval
for construction of the Consti-
tuition avenue bridge over the
Potomac as q fixed bridge. with.
no draw span.
Approval by the Army had
been expected for months but
was disclosed only yesterday in
q routine public announcement
FALLING for reaction to naviga-
tional elearances proposed for
the new Fourteenth street
bridge.
The District Commissioners
have applied to the Army Engi-
neers for q permit likewise to
build the Fourteenth street
bridge with no draw span. De-
sign plans submitted. accord
ing to the Engineers. call for a
bridge clearance of 24.6 feet
above the navigational channel
and mean high water and 27.5
feet clearance at mean low
water.
Written Opinion Due
The Engineers asked that any
expressions of views" on the
new application be submitted in
writing by October Is.
For all practical purposes,
officials believe the final APP
proval OF the fixed-span fea-
ture Of the Constitution avenue
structure has ended the bitter
draw span fight once and for
all. So they expect no real OPP
position to the absence Of a
draw span in the Fourteenth
street bridge.
In the past, however. the
draw span dispute figured
nightly in the long Constitu-
ton avenue bridge hassle and,
at one point, threatened to
stymie any new bridge con-
struction. Two years ago, Rep
resentative Smith, Democrat of
Virginia, blocked approval of
both the Fourteenth street and
Constitution avenue bridges by
his insistence that draw spans
be included.
Army Settled Arguments
He yielded during the last
session Of Congress, however,
: and final authority for the
bridges to go ahead was voted
with no mention in legislative
language on the draw span
( question. This left the matter
: up to the Army Engineers,
( whose announcement yester-
day on the Constitution avenue
crossing resolved the contro-
xerSy.
: The biggest fight against
fixed span bridges came from
the American Oil Co. and the
r Smoot Sand and Gravel Co.,
who commended that fixed
bridges would cause unreason-
able hardship to deliveries Of
their products in the Rosslyn-
Georgetown areas. The Army
Engineers decision, however,
backed UP road builders, who
contended the limited nayiga-
ton involved could not justify
the additional bridge costs and
delays to motorists.
Same CIearances Noted
In yesterdays announcement,
the Army noted that the pro-
posed clearances for the Four
tenth street bridge are pre-
cisely the same as those for
Constitution avenue and for
the Fourteenth street bridge
built in 1850, which carries
one-way traffic to Washington.
The new Fourteenth street
crossing will be a replacement
for the old trestle bridge and,
like it, viii carry one-way Vir-
ginia-bound traffic. Construc-

trustees shortly.
Henry w. Herzog. treasurer
Of the university. said last night
this land-use plan will be con-
sidered at the trustees regular
meeting next month.
Mr.. Herzog said the trustees
will consider certain relation
ships which the board will pro-
pose to the Redevelopment
Land Agency for working out
the details of that plan" I'm
der the law, RIA can condemn
property, tear down old build
ings and sell the land to the
university, which could then re-
develop it. The university hopes
to be able to avail itself of the
RIA powers.
Long Range Program
The plan at this stage is ten
tative. 1t contemplates a long,
range program, involving new
laboratories, an administration
building, structures for the law,
medical and engineering schools
and dormitories. The eventual
plan win depend on what the
RIA will do and what the uni
versity can do, Mr.. Herzog
explained.
The university has been de-
veloping its campus between
Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth
streets, Pennsylvania avenue
and F street NV.
Two Year Project
For about the past two years,
Henry S. Churchill of Pnila-
delphia. land-use expert; and a
firm Of landscape architects
there have been working on
plans for the university as con-
sultants. There is a possibility
that @. H and | streets, between
Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth
streets NV. might be closed to
give a full campus effect and
set off the new buildings the
university has in mind
The university owns a good
deal Of land in that area. Some
of its activities are housed in
former residences now. The
program contemplates another
new building for the School of
Engineering, in addition to the
recently erected Tompkins
structure.

Ties Cited
BY Premier

LONDON (JTA)-Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan last week paid
an unprecedented public tribute to
Israel and in so doing dramatized
the closest ties between the Brit
ish Empire and Israel in the 40
year history of British-zionist re-
lations.
Speaking before a distinguished
dinner audience. of British leaders,
the British prime minister lauded
"the qualities of energy, social and
scientific progress and sheer ply
sical achievement" recorded by
Israel in the first decade of state
hood.
In an impromptu remark after
the dinner, the prime minister said
that never have relations between
Israel and the United Kingdom
been better since the establishment
of the state"
MACMILLAN, joined by Labor
chief Hugh GaitSkell and Liberal
Party leader 10 Grimmond, paid
tribute to Ambassador Eliahu Elath
of Israel.
The British political leaders spoke
at a banquet at Grosvenor House
sponsored by the Board of Deputies
of British Jews in observance of
Israels 10th anniversary and as a
personal tribute to the ambassador.
The prime minister's participation
represented the first time in many
years that prime minister had
so honored an ambassador not
leaving his post.
Surveying the Middle East, Mac
milan said "the real and vital
need of all the Arab peoples, which
would list as peace, economic
progress and social development,
can easily be affected by political
and propaganda excitement, but
1 am persuaded that all people
of the Middle East yearn for stabil-
ity and growth. f"
RECALLING the visit by Mrs.
Coda Meir, Israel's foreign mini
ster, to London, Macmillan deplor-
ed the fact that he was absent from
London at the time.
He stressed that the result of
Mrs. Meir'S visit was that "a good
many misunderstanding have been
removed and great deal of sus-
picion and doubt has been clear
ed up and this is all to the good.
We wish Israel well and I trust
our relations will remain strong
and good on a basis of mutual
understanding, trust and coopera-
tion."
He said peace and prosperity in
the Middle East would depend to
a large extent on acceptance OF
such standards by all concerned.
He insisted it was in the common
interests of those countries that
relations between the United King
dom and Israel continue 10 move
forward with harmony"
OPPOSITION leader Gaitskell
expressed a similar view, declar-
ing that he believed that all Israel
wants is to live in peace and he
hoped that "she will be allowed to
do So" Gaitskell told the 600 din
ner guests that the Arab countries,
for which he expressd sympathy,
should devote more energy to their
internal affairs because 1t was
through economic development that
peace would eventually come to
the Middle East.
Grimmond told the dinner that
Israel's future must ultimately lie
in "a fruitful alliance with her
neighbors. Peace in the Middle
East will be reality, he declared,
when Israel is eventually accepted
among her neighbors as a true
Mediterranean power. He express
ed his opinion that Israel has
enormous contributions TO make
In the Middle East"
