Sto|emote on Bridge Ended
By Park Service and Maryland

Of the bridge. The cost Of this
connection is about SO million.
Maryland officials last April
had thought they were in
agreement with the park serv-
ice on the bridge layout. Since
then, however, there have been
exchanges Of numerous letters
and conferences pointing up
demands made by the park
agency. The bridge crosses
about 1900 feet Of land owned
by the park service along the
river.
The bridge is being built as
part Of the Federal interstate
system and will carry the
Washing ton Crcumferential
highway across the Potomac.
The agreement will not Affect
Virginia approaches to the
bridge.

ing a three-hour conference
yesterday between Maryland

A third Of the money for
stream valley parks would come

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. % (AP),
The Court of Appeals yester-
day ordered further proceed
ings in the case of 2-year-old
Johnny Montgomery. whose
adoption by a Salisbury couple
is disputed by his former foster
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd r.
Crump of 1903 Anterior drive,
Silver Spring, in whose home
Johnny spent his first Ia
months as a foster child,
brought the suit.
They appealed from a Wi
comico County Circuit Court
decision which upheld a well
fare department award of the
child to Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
P. Montgomery of near Sails
bury.
The Court of Appeals said the
three-judge lower court failed
to make an independent judg-
ment in the case and accepted
merely the recommendation of
the Montgomery County Wei
fare Board that the child be
placed with the Salisbury
couple.
Action Explained
The high court noted that
the welfare boards judgment
was accepted although the
judges indicated they favored
the Crumps as the adaptive
parents.
The court said 1t returned
the case so the lower court
could =, take additional teSti-
mony, arrange for an indie
pendent investigation of the
prospective adaptive parents
and make a decision that will
serve the best interests of
Johnny"
Johnny was placed with the
Crumps when he was Z days
old by the Montgomery County
Welfare Board.

Alexandria Planners
Ask Street Revomping

Alexandria may revamp its
streets and build new thor
oughfares to enable commuters
and shoppers to traverse its
congested downtown area
quickly.
The city planning depart
ment has urged a comprehen-
sive program to accelerate
traffic along U. S. Route /,
Duke street and Telegraph
road.
The proposal calls for a new
bridge across the Potomac
Yards north of the existing
Powhatan Street Bridge and
an improvement Of Skaters lane
to provide a new link between
Route / and George Washing
ton Memorial parkway.
Planners hope the program
will remove the vehement OBJ
lection by residents of the
Rosemont area by routing
north-bound traffic from the
new circumferential highway
south of the city along Duke
street to Route / rather than
aloNg Callahan drive.

Sewer Request
Given Planners

A developers proposal for a
sewer line that would open a
large section of Fairfax County
for residential development has
been referred to the planning
commission by the Board of
Supervisors.
The proposal was made yes
terday by Developer Morris
Canfer. Mr.. Canfer told the
supervisors he wants to run a
sewer line from the Braddock
road pumping station into 200
acres of land in the Long
Branch area, a mile south of
Route 236.
He said also he would like
an agreement with the county
to recover part of the cost. The
land now is zoned for one-acre
house lots but with sewers
available 1t could be cut into
smaller pieces.
The supervisors were unable
to decide which should come
first, the sewers or the recon-
ing to smaller lot sizes.
Supervisor Anne wilkins said
it was a major decision" re-
quiring long-range planning.
County Executive C. C. Mas
sey explained that the pumping
station is operating at only a
fraction" of its designed ca
pacity.
Mr.. Massey said the Long
Branch section was not in
cluded in the original area the
pumping station was planned
to serve.
In other action, the super
visors heard suggestion from
the Bel Air Citizens Associa-
ton that they hold meetings at
night. The supervisors decided
they had too much business to
accomplish it at night meet
ings.

Maj. William L. Durrer. county
police chief, said that the
present police quarters in the
courthouse have been over
crowded since 1855.
The police department plans
to use the bond money to build
a two-story brick structure near
the court house. The county
already owns the land for it. A
school administration building
now is under construction on
part Of the plot.
Biggest Sum for Parks
The smallest amount called
for in the bond issue is $3.50, 900
for a fire training center to be
used by volunteer fire depart
ments.
The county has 1900 volun-
teer flremen, and more than SO
paid firemen. The volunteers
average about a day a week with

The issue was raised yes

Meanwhile, the Crumps said,

However, they were told the
