planned that should Virginia
decline to contribute to the
addition of two lanes, the Bu-
reau would have to seek extra
funds from Congress to defray
the States share.
Both Federal and State high
way engineers agree that eight
more traffic lanes will be need
ed between the Potomac and
Route 7.
But before accepting reSpon-
sibility for Shirley, Virginia
wants assurance that all will
be built under the interstate
highway program, under which
the Government pays go per
cent and the State 10 per cent
of construction costs. Under
any other program. Virginia
would have to bear so per cent.
The Bureau of Public Roads
replies that Shirley has been
earmarked as an interstate
highway and that policy fol-
lowed throughout the country
permits only one such highway
in a given area. 1t argues that
if it makes an exception in Vir-
ginia it will have to grant
others elsewhere and thereby
put the entire interstate high
way program in the red.
A spokesman yesterday noted
that addition of two lanes to
Shirley would cost between Sc
and ST million, but that four
lanes would require SIG million.
Mr.. Harris said he will out
line the State position in nego-
tiationS with the Bureau of
Public Roads which he expects
to begin within the next two
weeks.

And. whereas, all Senators
need more exercise to keep their
minds and bodies in proper con-
dition for arduouS night ses-
sions, early breakfasts with

At that point Senator Full

The Senator would sell the

buyers.

The Senator stopped talking

Senator Fulbright says his
colleagues should be saddened

wicker-seated subway trolleys
at the Capitol.
The two little doorless won-
ders are destined for display in
a museum. Or they may be kept
on their single rails at the end
Of the line in the Old Senate
Office Building.
The old cars are going to
be displaced after this session
by a shiny streamliner, already
in service in the new tunnel be-
tween the office building and
the Capitol.
The switchover signals the
end of one of the most stable,
reliable and popular institu-
tions on Capitol Hill" Senator
Fulbright, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, told the Senate yesterday.
The trolleys are swift"

JuiISentence
Study ASKED
By BroYhilL

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia. yesterday
asked for a House investigation
into the administration of Dis
trict laws.
He said District criminal
laws apparently are strict
enough but he wants the House
to find out If District judges
were imposing the full range
of penalties on habitual Grim
inals.
He also suggested that SEN
ItenceS imposed by the courts
here should be reported to
Congress four times a year for
the next two years. His sug-
gestions include a provision
that Congress should appro-
pirate additional funds for the
study of local law administra-
tion.
Mr.. Broyhill two weeks ago
had urged laws providing for a
mandatory life sentence on
fourth convictions for major
crimes. Yesterday. he said a
study of the District code in
dicateS the range of punish
ments under present law is
adequate. The real problem,
he said, may be "in the way
the laws are administered"
Under the District Code, he
said, any sentence can be in
creased as much as so per cent
on conviction for a second Of
fense. He said this provision
is seldom used.
The code also provides addi-
tional sentences for any offense
involving use of a firarm.
These additional sentences
range from five years for first
offenders to 80 years for fourth
offenders.
In explaining abandonment
of the mandatory life sentence
proposal, Mr.. Broyhill said the
trend has been away from" high
mandatory sentences in favor of
indeterminate sentences with
relatively low minimums and
relatively high maximums.
He said the trend developed
because high maximum sem
tences discourage prisoners
from being receptive to rehabil-
itation efforts. The high maxi
mum, on the other hand, keeps
habitual criminals in prison
longer, he said.

The drive to force a referen-

At 2 pm, the States League

Two hours after the petitions
are presented to Secretary OF

Tawes will meet with legisla-
tive leaders on plans for a spe-
cial session of the legislature
presumably aimed at doing
something about the referen-
dunn proposals on the Redis-

measures.
One of them involves the
new regulatory measure gov
erning savings and loan inSti-
tutions in the State. The other
involves the municipal court
reform act in Baltimore. Peti-
tions to block both measures
and force them to referendum
also are being circulated.

a cat named Herbert Sim
mons.
Herbert lives with a man
named Henry Simmons who
is a writer and somewhat of
a realiSt, the latter charac-
teristic quite foreign to cat
owners. For instance, Henry
will tell you outright that
Herbert is a Snob, despite the
looks directed at him by
Herbert.
Henry purchased Herbert
in Georgetown, but they
soon moved to Ontario road
NV. Not long afterward
Herbert began to act queerly.
He refused to talk to
Fonda Ruby next door. But

HE TOOK to alternately
Sulking in corners and rip
ping across the mantle. 1t
got so that Henry's hand
would shake with apprehen-
sion as he turned the door,
knob when he returned from
work at night.
Then one morning Her
bert yawned and looked at
Henry, and his large blue
SiameSe eyes dwindled to
Sits. Henry was scratching
his head, also yawning, and
entering with a bowl of
canned cat food which he
gently placed in front OF
Herbert.
The food was not touched,
but Henry's hand was, which
contributed appreciably to
awakening Henry. 1t was not
long after that Henry and
Herbert were staring into
the eyes of a veterinarian.
AS Henry and Herbert
walked into his office, the
vet threw up his hands and
said all Siamese cats were
crazy.
Henry explained Herbert's
symptoms, and the vet ex-
planned: Herbert has hos
tilitieS to this neighborhood,
after Georgetown and all.
These hostilities have trans
ferred themselves into the
guilt manifestations, and he
is reacting violently to you"
He said that while Henry
could start by giving Her
bert some beef, sooner or
later they must move.
Henry and Herbert moved
back to- Georgetown, to a
Potomac street row house.
Life was pleasant there until
one summer day when Henry
returned from work to find
no Herbert. He looked under
the rose bush in the init
mate little patio. He looked
up the quaint and narrow
street.
Henry was dejectedly but
hopefully mixing some beef
when a passing friend, who
has been known to nod hello
to such places himself, said,
II saw Herbert in a bar this
afternoon"
Henry smiled the pinched
smile reserved for those who
have said nothing funny. but
at his friends insistence
finally agreed to follow him
down the street in the mar
rowing sunlight.
Evening star., 1961-05-30

THEY WALKED a long way
until they came to a bar
where the door was open.
Inside there were music and
laughter and construction
workers, and there was Her
bert. When Herbert wasn't
rubbing his back on the legs
of the working men, he was
accepting potato chips.
Henry took one stride and
clipped Herbert to his bright
red leash. Herbert's paws
skidded on the bar floor in
protest as they departed.
Henry took to locking Her
bert in the house, but if a
window was inadvertently
left open, Herbert would be
in the bar when Henry got
home. He even took to lying
in wait and streaking out
the door as soon as Henry
opened it.
Herbert's obvious Schizo-
phrenia would have worried
Henry more if Henry had
not had thoughts of his own.
Bachelor Henry was getting
married. Although he hated
to say so, not the least of
his worries was how Her
bert would react to his
bride.
Well, Herbert took one
look at Janet and decided
that this was the first really
bright move Henry had ever
made. Herbert became most
fond of Janet, and with her
as an afternoon companion
he no longer felt the need
for his bar. 1t wasn't long
before Herbert became his
old unappealing, snobbish
self and peace settled over
the little row house on Po-
tomac street.
