Bill Against Druwspons
On Highways Offered

engineers set the pattern of
future bridge construction for
the District by approving the
fixed system of construction for
these two projects.
Senator Case noted that the
Coast Guard would have to
spend only $1,000 annually to
shift onto this stretch of the
Potomac vessels that can move
under bridges without the lift
ing Of spans.
THE bill also would save the
cost of the advance-notice sys-
TEN required to open Memorial
Bridge and the old Highway
Bridge" Senator Case pointed
out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-25

An administration bill likely
to prevent construction of fur
ther drawspan bridges on
interstate highways has reached
the Senate.
Senator Francis Case, Repub-
Ilican of South Dakota, intro
duced the legislation at the
request Of the Bureau of Public
Roads.
1T should prevent many of
those agonizing long traffic
tieups resulting from raising
bridges to accommodate river
trafic," Senator Case said. "At
the same time, it would save
millions of dollars in public
funds by lowering costs of
bridge construction demanded
by the Federal highway pro-
gram"
Specifically the bill calls on
the Engineer Corps to approve
fixed bridges rather than
drawspans wherever feasible. 4"
In determining what kind Of
bridge to build, engineers must
consider the total cost to sur
face transportations of draw
spans. Present law requires
them to protect navigational
interests only in approval of
bridge plans.
Senator Case said that the
savings in the District alone
on f1xed-span bridges illus
trated the economies that
could be realized throughout
the Nation under the proposal
For example, $3.4 million was
saved by the decision to make
the new Constitution avenue
and highway bridges over the
Potomac fixed rather than
Imovable-Span structures.
The $24.5 million Constitu-
ton avenue bridge is due to be
completed in 1868 and the $9.2
million highway bridge in 1862
Both will have a 27l2-foot
vertical clearance.

Sword Dancer
To Be Ridden
By Shoemaker
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Willie
Shoemaker, who won the Ken
lucky Derby on Tony Lee, will
ride the favorite, Sword Dancer,
in the Preakness, second race
of the so-called Triple Crown.
May 16 at Pimlico.
Elliott Burch. who trains
Sword Dancer for Mrs. Isabel
Dodge Sloane's Brookmeade
Stable, made the announce
ment of the rider CHI an g e
through Pimlico's front Office
today.
Bill Boland rode sword
Dancer to a stretch duel with
Tony Lee and claimed foul in
the Derby. The claim was not
allowed and Sword Dancer fin
ished second by a nose.
In making the announce
ment. Burch emphasized that
the switch was in no way a re-
Election on Boland. 1t just so
happened that .Shoemaker's
services became available when
it was decided Tony Lee is too
tuckered out to compete in the
Preakness. Fred Turner, jr.'s
colt also will miss the Belmont
Stakes, final race of the Triple
Crown. He has been shipped
backed to California.
I'VE have been trying for
some time to get Shoemaker to
ride Sword Dancer in all of the
Triple Crown races" Burch said
in making the announcement,
but a prior commitment kept
him of our colt in the Ken
lucky Derby. He no longer has
that obligation and we are
happy to retain him for the re-
manning Triple Crown races.
This in no way expresses
displeasure with the ride Be-

all the bows, just as though the meeting was

While we might wish we had better in

ing, we can hardly emerge from it at less
advantage than we are today, Tor we nave
permitted our position to deteriorate and
drift until we scarcely know which way we
are going.
If atomic war would be as bad as we have
reason to believe-and it might be worse
it is unthnkable that anybody but fool
would toy with the idea. But sometimes crazy
men climb into power. Witness Herr Hitler.
1t would seem reasonable that even Eisen-
hover and Khrushchev might agree that
some method be worked out to make war
with atomic weapons impossible. The only
way to arrive upon such an agreement IS
through meetings such as those impending.
These meetings ought to have taken place
long ago. And once Initiated, they should be
pursued until iron clad understandings,
backed by such deeds and compromises as
are necessary to safeguard this country, Rus
sia and the rest of the world, have been
adopted.
There is nothing else in this world
today that possesses any Importance
whatsoever without a solution to this
nightmare, which our leaders have stead
fastly refused to admit exists!
Imagine Eisenhower continuing, even now,
to insist these meetings are to be only tenta-
tive, for the purpose of permitting Khrushchev
to learn about our country! The President

naught of Americas might, but such thinking
