testimony at the public hear
Ing last week.
The two river routes are
closely similar except for the
portion nearest the District
Maryland line. In one Of the
plans. called Route A, all four
lanes Of the divided highway
would remain on the high bluffs
overlooking the Potomac near
Chain Bridge. In the other,
Route Az, two Of the roadway
lanes would be on the high
bluffs along Potomac avenue
and the other two would be at
the bottom of the cliff in order
to connect with Canal road.
Route A was favored by a
consulting firm hired by the
District and Route Az was
supported by city highway off,

cause less destruction of pri-
vate homes in the Potomac

background as Emerson and
Thoreau. he supported the
slavery provisions in the
Arkansas constitution. He
was a Wing. then a Know
Nothing. Although against
Secession. he asked to be
commissioned in the Con-
federate army and was made
a brigadier general. He had
made negotiated treaties
with the Indian tribes west
Of Arkansas. Their use in
the battle Of Pea Ridge,
Ark. resulted in scalpings
and other savage atrocities
on some Federal troops. Pike,

up Gen. Pixies military
career as unfortunate"
His impulse to write was
always getting the better of
him. He wrote Jefferson

superior officers. His letters
finally led to his arrest.
He was allowed to resign.

the year starting next July /.
Representa- tive Rabaut
promptly rejected the city
heads main sales point-that
Congress owes the extra 50
million from a backlog Of 50
million unappropriated but au-
thorized Federal payments.
That hangover argument Is
all wrong" said Chairman Ra-
baut Of the House Appropria-
tons Subcommittee for the
District. They got what was
appropriated IN past years. and
that closed the books"
Got Only $50 Million
Last year. the District got
only $40 million Of the au-
thorized s23 million. So the
Commissioners are relying on
the backlog argument.
In the Senate. Appropria-
tons Subcommittee Chairman
Pastore. Democrat Of Rhode
Island. promised generous"
treatment Of the local budget.
But he would not give blanket
approval to either the S25 mil
lion or the $2l4.6 million total
before hearing justifications.
Hearings will be scheduled
before committees Of both Rep
resentative Rabaut and Sena-
tor Pastore. As chairmen. they
WELD primary power over Dis
trict money bills submitted for
floor votes.
Representative Rabaut. who
will hold the first hearing, en-
phasized that he wanted to be
fair with the District. But he
made Ii clear that, in his book,
each years appropriation was
figured on that years need. not
the records Of past years.
New Arguments Suggested
IF Congress always appro-
priated what was authorized,
taxpayers all over the United
States including those in the
District. would suffer" he said.
A different justification for
the bigger Federal payment
could win the economy minded
Congressman back to the SIS
million, he indicated. But he
is set against the past au-
thorizations" line.
Heavy spending proposed

fare drew q favorable response
from Senator Pastore.
Il think we ought to give
the District what II needs TO
have for educational and
human services" he said.
Tightly balanced. the budget
provided only q 1885 surplus
in the traditionally strapped
general fund. This fund
finances all city services. ex-
cept those OF parking. highway,
water and sewer offices.
Pay Raise Problem
A Sc million pay raise for

lice and firemen expected TO
clear Congress this session

was estimated at S203.5 million.
Increasingly heavy demands
on taxpayers to finance Federal
City activities were in prospect
after the Presidents message.
He asked Congress to cut of
Federal grants for pollution
abatement by 1860. Urban re-
newal aids should dwindle
steadily after 1860. he said. He
slashed SOS million of current
Federal aid to schools In areas,
like Washington. overcrowded
with families Of Government
employees.
Urges Home Rule
In line with his withdrawal
Of the Federal Government
from local matters. the Presi-
dent also urged suffrage for
Washingtonians He said:
i recommend again that the
Congress enact considerable
legislation providing for home
rule in the District Of Columbia
Under any such system the cit

authorized TO elect local on

ALBERT D. PIKE was born
in Boston in 1909. the year
Of Lincoln's birth.
He was educated in New
England academies and in
his "reminiscences he said he
spent a year at Harvard.
There Is no record Of his
enrolment there. However,
just before the Civil War at
the apogee Of his literary
career. Harvard conferred
on him an honorary degree.
After teaching school a
few years he went West, got
as far as Santa Fe. then
turned back and settled in
Arkansas. It was from Little
Rock that he sent the
Hymns to the Gods" to
BlackwoodS m a canine in
England. The editor. Chris
TOPPER North published them
in 1889 with the comment,
These fine hymns en-
titles their author to take his
place in the highest order of
his country's poets" and on
another occasion to say. His
massive genius marked him
out to be the poet Of the
Titans."
He married a young woman

freeway and a new four-lane
viaduct to be built adjacent to
Whitehurst. From Key Bridge
to the Maryland line. it would
be constructed between Mac
Arthur Boulevard and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Between Washington circle
and Glover-Archbold Park. near
Foxhall and Canal roads the
expresSway would be eight lanes
wide. 1t would taper to six lanes
from there to Arizona avenue
NV. and to four lanes from
Arizona avenue to the Mary
land line.
Route 240 in Maryland now
is completed as far as Mont
rose road in Bethesda lust
south Of Rockville.
From that point in Bethesda
TO the District line near the
Potomac River two alternate
routes have had the most con-
sideration, although there are
other possibilities.
Seek "West Leg" Extension
One plan is TO extend the
so-called west leg" of 240
due south from MontroSe road
to River road. follow River road
to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks and follow the
tracks TO the District line near
the Potomac.
The other is to extend the
240 west leg due south beyond
River road all the way TO the
Potomac River near Cabin John,
then TO follow the Potomac
shore to the District line in the
right-of-way planned for con-
struction OF the four-lane
George Washington Memorial
Parkway by the National Park
Service.
This latter route originally
was favored by Maryland roads
officials, II the National Park
Service would permit the four
lane $40 connection to be built
In the Memorial parkway right
of-way for the short portion
between the District line and
Cabin John. The main differ
ence between the Memorial
parkway and the 240 road is
that trucks would be permitted
on 240. The Park Service has
strenuously opposed this.
Recently. however. park ON
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-01-14

Gals have opposed the use of
any park land for the 240 route.
This raises the prospect that
the park issue may have to be
fought in Congress in order to
build the road at any location.
Park lands are involved in all
routes.
District Engineer Commits
Sioner A. c. yelling said no
decision has been made on how
to communicate the District
recommendation to Maryland
officials or whether the District
will be represented at the
Maryland public hearing on
January 20.
Asked when the 240 road
could be built, Col. yelling said
he did not know but that this
decision was the next one he
wants to make.
He noted that the District
Highway Department already is
SIS million short of funds to
match Federal aid money ear
marked for the city highway
program during the next six
years. Az present. the gao
project is~not in the six-year
program. Col. yelling osaid he
has asked highway officials to
study the effects Of substituting
the 240 route for some other
project so 1t could begin within
the next few years.
Seeking More Funds

as well as ways 10 increase

RICHMOND. Jan, l4.--Gov.
Almond today gave, Virginia.
fund cuton bill his specific In
dorsement. and rejected the
referendum proposal offered in
the State Senate yesterday.
In his inaugural address Sat-
urday. the Governor by impli-
cation embraced the fund cut
on, but had not given 1t his
specific support until today.
He was asked by q reporter
at a press conference II he
specifically indorsed the fund
cutoff. which takes effect when
ever any locality tries TO oper-
ate integrated schools.
Yes. We have no other alter
native at this time" he replied.
Contemplate No Changes
He added that he did not
contemplate any changes in the
fund cutoff plan at the present
session Of the General As
sembly.
Senators Aristead Boothe Of
Alexandria and Ted Dalton Of
Radford yesterday offered a
resolution calling for a referen-
dunn IN any locality before State
school funds could be withheld.
Asked about this. Gov.
Almond said he believed he
made II clear in his inaugural
address that Virginia must meet
the segregation issue on q
Statewide basis.
He said he would appreciate
any new law that would
strengthen the States position
in combating indignation. Asked
IL he thought the Boothe-Dal-
ton resolution would accom-
'plish that. he replied:
1T certainly does not"
Seating Law Decision
Asked for comment on the
decision in Arlington County
yesterday In which Judge WAL
ter Mccarthy said Virginia's
segregated seating law was in
valid. Gov. Almond declared
that he understood Common
wealth Attorney william Has
san would ask the State At
torney Generals Office whether
the case might be appealed on
the constitutional issue in
volved.
Gov. Almond said the crimi-
nal charge against the individ-
ual could not be appealed.
The Governor declared that
the opinion now is binding in
the jurisdiction in which it was
rendered. and added that it
may be persuasive" elsewhere
in Virginia. He explained that
certainly any lawyer involved in
a segregated seating case in the
State would cite the Arlington
