Bus drivers and maintenance
men for the AB&W Transit Co.
were to vote early today on an
agreement hammered out by
nion-management negotiators

The union, representing some

a company offer and gave
warning of a walkout unless a
new agreement we're reached
by midnight tonight, when the
old contract expires.

The membership was to meet

Last week the union turned
down contract calling for a
l2-cent-an-hour raise spread
over three years. The union
sought a 50-cent hourly in

Span Failure
Causes Delay

Hundreds of motorists were
delayed by a bridge malfunc-
ton when a tanker tried to
pass through the Fourteenth
street spans at noon yester-
day.
The safety gates on the
southbound span failed to drop.
The function of the gates is
to prevent motorists from
plunging off into the Poto-
mac. AS the center part of the
span started to swing open, it
caught on the gates.
Meanwhile. the northbound
span was lifted in anticipation
Of the southbound spans OPEN
ing. The northbound bridge
remained open until operators
got the word that the south
bound span was stuck.
The tanker, having already
passed through the down.
stream railroad bridge, was
trapped between the bridges
and had to wait while the
southbound span was repaired
and opened.
District police said south
bound traffic was backed up
about a mile. The southbound
span remained closed to traf-
fic for Is or 20 minutes. Then
two of its three traffic lanes
we're reopened while repairs
were made.
The tanker, originally sched-
uled to pass at 10 am. finally
got through at 2:30 pm.

r.
A drive is under way to get
the next President to place a
man on Capitol Hill to handle
District affairs.
George A. Garrett, chairman
of the Federal City Council
and former Ambassador to Ire
land, is heading the effort. He
is pressing to have the request
for such a District Office in
cluded in the budget message
the next President sends to
Congress.
AS it is now, Mr.. Garrett
said yesterday. There is no.
body in the White House who
is going to break his back for
the city. The District needs
some kind of liaison ofiicer,
with a staff. who can help get
things DONE"
Office in Capitol
The idea is to get space with
in the Capitol itself so that the
White House liaison man can
work with both the House and
Senate directly on city legisla-
ton and appointments.
Although such an Office would
be the first Of its kind for the
District, on-the-spot co-ordi-
nators from the executive
branch are not unprecedented.
At the moment, the Air Force,
Army and Navy all have offices
on the first floor of the Old
House Office Building.
District Commissioners Fred
erick j. Clarke and Mark Sui
livan. jr., declined to comment
on the proposal yesterday until
they had studied it in detail.
However. some city officials
said privately that a White
House liaison officer backed by
the President might dilute the
power and prestige Of the Dis
trict Commissioners and wind
up being just one more channel
to 20 through.
No Interest in d. C.
Asked if the Senate and
House District Committees did
not provide adequate help on
Capitol Hill. Mr.. Garrett said
members of those committees
are usually newly elected law
makers who look upon their
work as a terrible chore.
They're not interested in the
District of Columbia, per se,"
he said.
Mr.. Garrett cited the reduc-
tions in the Federal grant to
the District and delays on city
legislation and appointments
as evidence that Washington is
getting short shrift on Capitol
Hill and in the White House.
If the Federal City Council
formally adopts the proposal
of its chairman, the organiza-
ton is in a good position to
push it. The council enjoys
considerable prestige on Capt.
tol Hill, as evidenced by the
House District Committees re.

will provide is smooth access to
the new District stadium now
under construction next to the
Armory at the East Capitol
street bridge.
Traffic will be able to move
of the freeway onto Independ-
ence avenue to reach stadium
parking areas. The east leg spur
parallel to Benning Road will
also feed traffic to parking
areas north of the stadium.
Officials say the construction
schedule for the east leg is
tentative. They emphasize that
Federal funds will be necessary
to. finance the project-since
the east leg will be part of the
interstate system the Govern
ment will pay 80 per cent Of
the cost-and this money has
yet to be received.
This is the timetable:
Construction will start on
the interchange leading to the
Anacostia bridges early in 1858.
Freeway Start in 1864
Work will start on that por-
ton of the freeway from G
street Sc. to independence
avenue early in 1864; from In
dependence avenue to D street
NE. in early 1865; and D to G
streets NE. in early 1866.
The interchange connecting
the freeway to the north leg
at about Florida avenue will get
underway in early 1867. The
Benning road spur is not yet
scheduled.
! Highway planners have pro-
| posed seven alternative routes
for the Northeast Freeway, the
official designation for the Dis
trict connection to the third,
route to Baltimore. These will
be taken up at the hearing with
emphasis to be made on q
recommendation by consultantS
that it follow the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad tracks in North
east.
$74 Million Cost
An engineering study which
developed the alternative routes
recommended the B&O corri-
dor and estimated the six and
eight-lane depressed roadway
will cost about STA million.
1t would skirt the Catholic
Sisters College and Provi-
dence Hospital. but would re-
quire some undeveloped land
belonging to several Catholic
schools. Spokesman for Cath
olic University are scheduled
to appear.
The Northeast Freeway cost
would increase to about $85
million if a median strip for
rapid transit Is included along
the recommended route. The
National Capital Transporta-
ton Agency has decided to
seek funds for a median strip
to be included in the third
route to Baltimore.
Maryland has tied down its
portion of the route to a point
south of University boulevard.
But State officials are watt
ing for the District to decide
on the Northeast Freeway route
kso that the connection can be
pinpointed.
District highway officials say
the third route to Baltimore,
expected to handle more than
100000 vehicles a day by 1875,
is about 10 years from being
built.
