The District is building ar
expressway in the path sug-
gested by planners for one OF
the city's proposed subway lines
The expressway. a three-lane
depressed highway through the
Mall under Twelfth street
NV, was started last Novem-
Der. The proposed subway line
is part of a $500 million rapid
transit rail plan now under
study in Congress.
City officials said yesterday
q subway still could be built
along the general route, al
though it probably would cost
more. The tracks would have
to skirt the below-ground ve-
hicular roadway or tunnel
under it.
Plans Made
A joint Senate-House COM
mittee Is considering legisla-
ton to create an agency to
develop q subway network.
Plans submitted to the White
House and Congress last year
call for four rapid transit
lines connecting with the sub
urbS. The Twelfth street line
would connect with the Penta-
gon at one end and Silver
Spring at the other.

Italian Police
Smash RuIIy
Against US.

BOLOGNA. Italy, May 81
(AP). Club-swinging Italian
riot police tonight broke up a
rally of 10000 Communists aft
er a leading Red parliamentary
deputy charged Italy and the
United States had committed
aggression against Russia.
Police and Communists skir-
miShed for 80 minutes in NAL
pighi Square in downtown Bo-
logna, an industrial city in the
heart of North Central Italy's
so-called Red belt.
Six persons were injured.
Ten Communists were taken
taken into custody.
The trouble erupted as the
Italian Com m unist Party
mounted a campaign against
the United States and Italy's
Christian Democrat govern
ment. The Reds have scheduled
almost 500 rallies throughout
Italy this week end. The party
called on all speakers to espe-
cially protest against United
States military bases in Italy.
The rally in Bologna was to
have been one of the biggest,
and the Communists brought
up one of their leading orators,
Giancarlo Pajetta, who gen.
orally is considered the party's
foreign affairs expert.
He denounced Italy's pro-
Western foreign policies and
charged the italian govern
ment was an "accomplice" of
the United States in "im-
perlallst War-mongering" acts
against Russia.
When he made that charge,
he had been speaking for
an hour. An Italian police
officer decided he had said
enough.
The officer walked to the ros-
trum and told him to stop
talking.
He complied. but when po-
lice then told the crowd to go
home boos rang out and the
riot police moved in.
Late tonight the Commu-
mist Party said the police in
tervention constituted an IL
legal attack against freedom of
speech.

port. Workers Union promptly

all municipal bus and tram
way services were halted.
Communist labor leaders
said they were considering

, subway. But he called the neec
for the proposed new transit
agency urgent.
Planning commission anC
city officials are at odds ovel
proposals for new transporta.
ton links in the northern part
of the city. The planners want
a freeway in the Wisconsin
avenue area, while the District
Highway Department favors one
east of Rock Greek Park. Rail
lines are proposed in both cor
ridors.
Planners have proposed pro-
viding right of way for tracks
in the median strips of future
highways. But so far city high
way plans have made no pro-
vision for rails in either corri-
dor or elsewhere.
The new transit agency, I'M
der legislation sponsored by the
Bureau of the Budget. now be-
fore the joint committee, would
not have any specific control
over highway planning. But
planners said the agency, work.
ing in collaboration with road
builders, should make an ef-
fort to see that transit needs
are taken into account.
In addition. numerous other
future development plans hinge
on close coordination between
highway and transit planning,
planners said.
Cites Needs
Robert Keith, staff member
of the planning commission
who helped draft the mass
transportation proposals, warn
ed that planning bodies can
not proceed properly in guiding
future growth of the area with
out knowing the form of future
mass transportation.
Pending questions include fu-
ture use of the AnacoStia and
Boiling air fields, new housing
for the scattered Defense De-
partment employees and other
Government workers, the Gov
ernment's plans for parking ia
cilities, Improvement of the
downtown business area, urban
renewal projects and suburban
land-use proposals.
The joint committee tomor-
row is expected to review staff
recommendations with a view
toward early recommendatio
to the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees on a bill to set
up the new transit agency.
