with a request for a report on
the jurisdictional status there.
Gen. Welling's requests were
prompted by a major traffic
headache which developed on
the Virginia approaches to Key
Bridge with the opening Tues
day of a new five-mile stretch
Of the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway.
Abandoned Idea
City traffic officials first tried
q reserved lane for Washing
ton-bound parkway motorists,
but then abandoned this system
when traffic backed up on other
roads leading into Rosslyn
circle.
One recommendation by Dis
trict traffic engineers will be to
flatten the roadway curve from
the circle into Lee highway.
The complicated question of
jurisdictional responsibility at
the circle was pointed up by a
plea by Representative Broy-
hill, Republican of Virginia. for
cooperation in easing this
curve.
Br0yhill Request
Mr.. Broyhill's request went
to the Virginia State Highway
Commission and to National
Capital Parks. In a letter to
the State commission, Mr..
Broyhill said the stretch of curb
involved appears to be about
one-third on State property
and two-thirds under the juris-
diction of the District" Ma
tional Capital Parks has been
notified. he said, because Ross
Ign Circle is on Interior De-
partment land.
Another complicating factor,
the Congressman said, is that
a cutback of the curb to i'm
prove the traffic flow might
take a foot or two of private
property, the Hot Shoppe.
Requested Report
To be sure that District
is spent only where the
city has responsibility, Gen.
yelling called for a report on
the jurisdictional question by
the corporation counsel's and
the surveyors offices.
The legal opinion to the En-
gineer Commissioner involves:

Heat Is Optional
DR.. Reed explained that
there is plenty of room in the
Enclosures for the birds to get
away from the heat lamps if
they wish. It's just there as
a convenience.
The Washington area, which
already has uncounted thou
sands Of starlings in residence,
also welcomed two more of the
kind that should have come to
live here in the first place.
The newcomers are pair of
amethyst or violet-backed star
lings. cousins of the speckled
variety that infest the Office
buildings Of downtown Wash
ington.
The Better Starlings
"They are much nicer birds
than the familiar speckled Eu-
ropean startling so we'll known
to Washingtonians," said DR..
Reed. "They have beautiful
purple and violet coloration
and a twittering note that
makes them very nice to have
around"
DR.. Reed speculated that the
United States would be much
better off if the man who lib
Grated go European starlings in
New York's Central Park in
1860 had done it with anne
thyst starlings instead.
The bird books describe the
amethyst starlings as beautiful,
beneficial birds who are great
eaters of insects, whereas the
value of the European startling
has to be weighed against his
destructive qualities. The local
starlings also have the bad eff
feet of driving off the native
songbirds.

said he will now go ahead with
plans to abandon streetcar OPP
erations On Seventh street and
Georgia avenue and the Wis
consin avenue line.
Mr.. Chalk said he won't hold
back on the conversion sched-
ule-the franchise requires him
to complete conversion by Aug
ust. 1963-so that the P. U. G.
won't have an excuse" to re-
fuse his request on the profit
formula change.
Earlier this year, the P. U. C.
wrote Mr.. Chalk its considered
view" was that conversion Of
IL per cent to bus operations
would be required before the
commission would change the
formula.
Mr.. Chalk contends that Con-
gress. in effect, promised him
the switch would be made in
the language of franchise D. C.
Transit was granted three years
ago.
| Alternatives Given
Under the franchise, Mr..
Chalk is to be given the "op-
portunity" to earn 6Aa per cent
on either the rate base or gross
operating revenue method. The
franchise also states:
1.-THE Commission should en-
courage and facilitate the
shifting to such gross operat-
ing revenue base as promptly
as possible and as conditions
warrant; and if conditions war;
rant. not later than August,
1883"
One of the key questions in
determining whether D. c.
Transit would make the SIS
million net income Mr.. Chalk
seeks is: How much of a decline
in the number of passengers
would follow if a 25-cent fare
is approved?
To Discuss Monorail
Mr.. Chalk says he may lose
up to IS per cent, or about 20
million fares. Under a PUG.
formula used in the past, the
estimate would be loss Of
about 8 per cent, or 10 million
fares. Last year the system
counted 1877 million cash fares.
Mr.. Chalk said he will also
outline a monorail rapid transit
system in detail before a Con-
gressional committee on Thurs
day. The committee is to hold
hearing this week on the Mass
Transportation Study.
Mr.. Chalk said he will give
details on construction and
financing for a $3.50 million
monorail system that would
cover 116 miles into nearby
Maryland and Virginia. He first
proposed the plan as a solution
to the Washington areas mass
transit problem several months
ago.

On Financing
Stadium Plan

The District Armory Board
will meet with officials Of the
Riggs National Bank tomorrow
in an important move to obtain
about 100000 as interim
financing toward construction
of the stadium. This will aid in
producing final plans for the
project.
Arthur j. Bergman, manag-
ing director of the Armory
board, said yesterday there is
a possibility the American
Security and Trust Co. may
come in on the financing with
Riggs. He explained the $780,
900 includes interest. The in
terest rate is to be set by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The board proposes to pay
three Of the four original firms
that drew up preliminary stadi-
UNI plans about $4,000 to
produce final plans, he de-
clared.
The three firms, George l..
Dahl, of Dallas, Tex, the Ewin

Mr.. Bergman.
The fourth firm, Praeger-

terminated when the prelimi-

Mr.. Bergman said. He declared

by the board for dropping this
firm"
Mr.. Bergman said the four
firms were paid 100000 for the
preliminary plans, but the
board does not know how this
money was split up among
them.
The board plans to meet at
10 am. Tuesday at Griffith

president of the Washington

him the preliminary plans of
the stadium.
The board will meet later

Sewage Plan
Revealed by
County Board
Referendum Due
For Arlington Part
In District Link
II PAGES
BY PAUL HOPE
star star Writer

Plans to pump sewage from
q large section Of Northwest
Arlington County to the Dis
trict's treatment plant were
disclosed yesterday at.a county
board meeting.
The plan presented by Coun-
ty Manager A. T. Lundberg
calls for a referendum on an
$860,000 bond issue in 1851 or
1862 to finance Arlington's
share Of a trunk sewage line
across the Potomac.
The sewage line across the
river at Chain Bridge was pro-
posed primarily to handle
sewage from the Central Intel
ligence Agency in Fairfax
County and the northeast Sec
ton of Fairfax. However. the
Fairfax District arrangement
also allows for a portion OF Ar
lington to be served.
Cooperation Praised
Mr.. Lundberg said plans have
been drawn for piping sewage
to the Chain Bridge line from
the Gulf Run, Donaldson Run
and Little Pimmit Run water
sheds in Arlington County. Ar
lington will pay Fairfax for the
treatment service and Fairfax
will pay the District for treat
ment of the combined flow.
This entire program is a
good example of what can be
done through voluntary Coop
Grafton by three jurisdictions
involving a Metropolitan prob
lem-Potomac River pollution
abatement" Mr.. Lundberg said.
Use of the Chain Bridge line
and treatment at the Districts
Blue Plains plant will ease the
load on the county's other
transmission lines and treat
ment plant, Mr.. Lundberg said.
In other business, the board
Endorsed a plan suggested by
the League Of Women Voters
for a public meeting at which
candidates for the school board
could give their views on edu-
cation. However. the board
made it clear that the meeting
has no official standing and
will not preclude consideration
of possible appointees who do
not appear at the meeting.
To Meet Tomorrow
AS suggested by the league,
the meeting would be spon-
sored by several countrywide
community organizati ito n S.
Three school board seats will
be filled by County Board ap-
pointments near the end of
this year. Nearly 20 names al
ready have been suggested to
the board as possible ap-
pointees.
The board also agreed to meel
Monday with the planning
commission to discuss the
county's position on the mass
transportation study made by
the Bible Committee on WASH
ington Metropolitan Problems.
Hearings are scheduled next
week on the study.
The board appropriated
$500 as the county's share
of expenses for q visit of Gen.
eral Assemblymen to the
Northern Virginia area. All
members of the Assembly will
be invited next January to
spend a week end in the nearby
area and view the problems of
