"Since we pay taxes in this

District drivers, I'VE should dc
something to correct this
dreadful state Of affairs"
So of they went to the traf-

The kindly, solicitous traffic

might suggest as a remedy.

Thus the District people

Officials of the Department
of Licenses and Inspections

Builders Of the Theodore

snd the National Cultural
Center are committed to "live
with" both congressionally ap-
proved sites. Engineer COM
missioner A. c. yelling said
last night. D.
Gen. yelling predicted the
bridge across the Potomac
would be open to traffic in
1862. BY 1868, center trustees
hope to have raised enough
money to build the arts fa-
cility bounded on the south
by the bridge approach net
work.
That southern boundary was
written into the law author
izing center construction, the
Commissioner said, after years
of negotiation.
Comments on Queries
He said Federal and District
planners agreed the site would
have the advantage Of being
near the approaches, and the
disadvantage Of being restricted
by the approaches. Taking the
bitter with the sweet, they
decided on a center site after
the bridge network had been
established. he explained on
the WWDC radio program.
Report to the People,"
The general was commenting
on questions about protests
written to r representative
Thompson, Democrat of New
Jersey, against the bridge ap-
|proaches. They obstructed the
Cultural Center view on its adj
joining Foggy Bottom site be-
side the river, the letters
claimed.
The Fine Arts Commission
also recommended that bridge
approaches be altered.
Work will Proceed
But Gen. yelling said con-
struction would proceed, as
planned. as soon as a contract
could be drawn for Peter Kiewit
& Sons, low bidders for the
first $1.9 million phase of the
job.
I'VE have a good, clean, low
bid" the general said. "And L

director to execute the contract

Vigil Of Couple
In Cufe Lootinq
Leads to Arrest

An Alexandria husband and
wife who turned themselves
into nightwatchmen were re-
warded with a catch yesterday.
For the past two weeks, Mr.
and Mrs. William A. Parsons,
who run the Cloverleaf Restau-
rant at 1922 Duke street, have
been mystified by the nightly
disappearance of SIS to $40
from their cash register.
So they decided to quit their
home at lat Chinquepin drive
and establish a vigil during the
hours the restaurant is closed.
They also enlisted a friend,
Wesley Wilson of 2756 Duke
street.
Yesterday morning after Mrs.
Wilson had relieved her hus-
band, man entered the res
taurant and went toward the
cash register.
Mrs. Parsons ran out the
back door to summon police
and Mr.. Wilson armed with a
shotgun, faced the man.
Arriving moments later, po-
lice arrested burglary suspect
who used to work at the res
taurant.

Only two Washington shops

mittee said, Maryland picks up
AZ per cent of the total cost
of education in the public
schools.
In reviewing the salary de-
mands, the committee said it
has kept in mind the need Of
adequate pay scales and a deep
consciousness that taxes can
not be imposed at an accel-
Grating pace each year without
a destruction of the very social
order education is designed to
improve"
Under the James Committee
program about 10,500 career
teachers would get salary in
creases. There are some $4,000
teachers in the State.
The committee also recon-
men6ed that any county, to re-
ceive Stats aid, would have to
pay starting degree teachers
not. less than $500 and top
teachers $5, 900.
Starting Salary $500
The range Of starting sal
aries new is $500 to $4,500 in
Montgomery county. The max
trnum range is from $500 to
81 500.
The committee rejected the
classified employees cost-of-
living salary tie-in on two
major grounds:
I. That it would simply Gre
ate another mandatory budget
item.
2. That the taxpayer himself
has no guarantee against the
inroads Of imitation.
The committee recommended
that the Standard Salary
Boards position in favor Of a
81 million appropriation to ad-
just salary scales be accepted.

that could speed urban re-
newell programs. But he said
his assistant, Col. Thomas X.
Fullerton, was under orders
to recommend to city heads
whether:
/. Renewed housing in the
834-acre Northwest area should
be for present residents only
or for families displaced from
other renewal areas as well.
2. Whether new houses should
be built or whether present
housing should be brought ur
as soon as possible to "safe,
sanitary and decent standards. "
Called Key Question
The second proposition is the
key question in the big North
west section, he stressed.
1--WE could provide better
housing, the first units Of which
would be coming years and
years and years from now" he
said. IF we do that, we must
determine where displaced peo-
pie are going to live while the
area is being cleared.
"Or we could get into extern
|sive code enforcement and start
improving housing to bring II
UP to a safe, sanitary and de-
cent standard real quickly"
Conceding advantages to both
methods. the general insisted
that one must be selected. He
called for clear, decisive direc-
tion for urban renewal rather
than a fuzzy combination OF
goals
Clear Policy Urged

should live in the Northwest

stated simply that improved
housing should be for "predom-
