Water Pollution
Conference Set

-Four members of Congress
will participate in a panel dis
cussion at the National Con-
ference on Water Pollution at
the Sheraton-Park Hotel, De-
cember 1914.
The four, all identified with
water resources legislation, are
Senators Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, and Case, Repub-
lican of South Dakota, and
Representatives Blatnik, DEM
ocrat of Minnesota, and
Cramer, Republican of Florida.
Approximately $500 people
are expected to attend the con-

General Leroy E. Burney at
the request of President Eli

about 1000 feet of the stone
structure, from a point east Of
Second street to the east edge
of Delaware avenue.
There are two railroad struc-
lures involved in the project.
One, is a four-track facility
parallel to Virginia avenue
serving north-south freight
train traffic. It must cross the
Anacostia River near Benning
road and the Potomac River
at Fourteenth street..
2 Structures Involved
The other is a two-track
structure that carries southern
passenger train routes into a
tunnel leading to Union Sta
ton.
On the average day about 40
freight trains use the Virginia
avenue connection and about
rs passenger trains move along
the southbound link.
Once the ramp project is
finished, by the fall of 1862,
the Southwest freeway will be
open from the Fourteenth
street bridges to this First
street connection. Some ramps
will be partially completed
which will ultimately move traf-
fic onto South Capitol street
and the future Southeast free
way, but these projects are sew
eral years off.
Temporary ramps will carry
freeway traffic onto D street
S.W., just east of Second street,
where motorists will be. able to
head downtown or to the
Capitol Hill area.
Cost of the entire project,
traffic ramps and rebuilt rail-
road structures included, will
be more than SAL million.
Mr.. Werner said the railroad
spans will be ripped out bit by
bit. Work will be done on one
structure at a time.
The plan is to rip out one
track of the bridge, rebuild
that much of it, replace the
track so that trains can i'm
mediately start using the new
track and then tackle the
second.
This method will be followed
until all four tracks are
finished. The same operation
VIII be used for the two-track
structure.
The first phase of the over
all job, however, is relocation of
Cne water main. About $40 feet

the south but it will have to be

RAIL SPANS TOUGH JOB
Rebuilding Con'tStop Trains
BY GILBERT GINIBLE
Star Stan Writer

This is one for only the most
stalwart sidewalk superintend-
ents to ponder:
You've got two railroad
bridges that have to be torn
out bit by bit and rebuilt. But
you can't stop sending trains
across while the work is going
on.
You've got about "A trains a
day running full schedules
while you're doing the Job and
there is no other route to send
them over.
You've got 1900 volts run
ming hot through the power
lines overhead.
While you're at 1t, you've got
to relocate q 48-inch water
main that serves most Of the
Southeast section Of the city.
Ramps to Be Erected
And as if all this wasn't
enough you've got to build a
set Of ramps under the new
bridges to carry traffic onto the
Southwest freeway. In fact, the
ramps are what you've been
after in the first place.
Right now this headache be-
longs to Martin H. Werner, a
tall man with a marlborough
ened face who is project super
intendent for the Blount Broth
ers construction firm of Mont
gomery, Ala.
The construction outfit goes
to work tomorrow on the COM
plex system Of road ramps that
will connect the Capitol Hill
area with the Southwest free
way. The ramps eventually
will be the link to the center
leg Of the inner loop.

Mr.. Werner stood at the
project site the other day, at
First street, east of the new
Southwest Market Center, and
watched a long freight train
that had just emerged from
the Virginia avenue tunnel on
its way to the Potomac Yards
in Alexandria.

Boy, 3, Wounds Father
With 'Un|ooded' Gun

An Arlington bus driver was
wounded last night when his
3-year-old son pulled the trigger
Of a new .30-caliber rifle which
was being displayed for friends.
Leroy Wine, 81, of 1852
Washington boulevard, was adj
mitted to Arlington Hospital in
fair condition after the accident
in the living room OF his apart
ment.
Arlington Detective 1t. w.
Lynn Smith said Mr.. Wine
brought out the rifle, which he
had obtained about a week ago,
and showed it to his friends
while it was still in its box.
Then he laid it on a chair.
When his son, Dean, walked
over and opened the cover, one
of the guests. Mrs. John Allen,

asked If the gun was loaded.
MIR. Wine said it was not, ac-
cording to Mr.. Allen.
The child reached in and
the weapon went of. The
bullet tore through the end of
the box, entered Mr.. Wines

left thigh and ripped through
the wall of the apartment,

Yesterday. he said, they went

bolt forward. Mr.. Wine, he
said, did not realize there still
was a bullet in the chamber.

suggested Tuesday. that the
Governor might appoint a
commission to recommend a re-
districting plan for accom-
modating the new congressional
seat.
After consultation with Mr.,
Finan, the Governor said he
will not appoint such a COM
mission. But he indicated he will
discuss redistricting with in
cumbent Congressman and
legislative and political leaders
Legislatures Responsibility
The Governor has said that
congressional redistricting will
come before the 1861 session of
the State Legislature which has
the job of carving the State to

membership. -
There are about as many
plans as there are politicians,
and no plan is likely to win
favor with everyone.
Perry o. Wilkinson, speaker
Of the House of Delegates, said
he already has received several
suggested plans.
Mr.. Wilkinson, who lives in
Prince Georges County, expects
a hot fight over redistricting in
the coming legislative session.
He said he favors retaining
county lines as boundaries of
congressional districts if pos
sible, but that he would con-
slider splitting counties if neces-
sary. No county is split under
the present arrangement.
One plan-with variations
which is making the rounds
among leading political n S
would:
Remove Montgomery fr o m
the 9th district and Howard
from the 5th and combine them
into a new district. The popu-
lation Of the new district would
be approximately 374,000.
Combine Prince Georges with
Charles and st. Marys to form
a new 5th district. This would
have about 427,0o0 people.
Take Anne Arundel and CAL
vert out Of the 5th and combine
them with a part of Baltimore
City. This would have about
10000 population.

The remaining two districts
each would have about 100000
population.
Set up Baltimore County
with its approximately 100000
population, as a separate dis
trict. 1t now is combined with
Carroll and Hartford as the
I'd district.
Add Carroll to the Western
Maryland counties now in the
6th-Allegany, Frederick, Gar
rett and Washington-to form
a district with approximately
$4,000 people.
Resistance Likely
Add Hartford to the nine
counties of the Eastern Shore,
which are now the LIST district.
This would have a population
of approximately $4,000.

Cuts Planned
By District

Steps toward cutting District
payments to st. Elizabeths
Hospital-one Of the Districts
major problems-are being
taken, Commissioner Mark Sui
Ivan. jr.. said yesterday.
Preliminary discussions have
been held between Mr.. Sulli-
van and the hospital superin-
tendent. DR.. Winfred Ocerhol-
ser. toward cutting down the
number Of in-patients and in
creasing the number of persons
treated on an out-patient basis.
Speaks on TV
Mr.. Sullivan. speaking on
WTOP-TV's City Side, said the
District is paying st. Eliza
beths some SIS milton or more
each year by law for the care
of Washington residents.
His remarks were backed
later by DR.. Overholser, who
expressed some hope" that the
District government might be
relieved of a part of the cost
of training and research at the
institution. These items, he
said. are figured into the Dis
trict payments at the present
time.
DR.. Overholser said the aver
age cost per patient is So a day
and added that If more persons
could be accommodated in fos-
ter homes at O cost Of 500 per
month. the District would save
a great deal.
Hits Old Buildings
Mr.. Sullivan said he recently
toured st. Elizabeths and said
the older buildings provided
IAN unpleasant experience" He
said he understood many of
these antiquated buildings are
scheduled for replacement but
added that a lack Of personnel
seems to be a major problem
for the hospital.
In answer to a question on
large families and poverty, Mr..
Sullivan said birth control is
still being studied by District
officials.
Some actions were taken be-
fore his appointment, he said,
referring to the steps providing
birth control advice when re-
quested at District General

PUT YOUR SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL

What ever the views of citizens prior to the election, the
majority has now spoken and it is time for all Americans
to close ranks in the great economic race with communism.
Every good American citizen should pray that President
elect Kennedy is successful in his effort to get the country
moving in the race to make the United States invulnerable
to communism, and all-powerfu in the scientific field.
The campaign was a grueling one. Many people had
sincere convictions, on both sides. But differences of opinion
are the foundation and strength of a democracy.
Those disappointed will have another chance four years
hence. Those victorious will now have their chance. The
primary task facing the new administration is to succeed IN
building a strong America, with strong allies.
To do this we must be strong internally and fiscany
sound. Our people must be united, not divided. Therefore,
every citizen now has the duty to put his shoulder to the
wheel-in a great effort to build a greater and stronger
Republic.
Americans are respected, the world over, for their ablh-
ty to do things together. However, everyone must be alert
and on the watch for communistic efforts to separate this
great country. So be sure to look carefully at anyone who
tries to turn YOU against your country and its leaders. Com
munists are Communists, and they work in many ways.
