18th St. Span Needed
5Yeors More, D.C.Soys

District officials, who want
to save the old Fourteenth
Street Bridge. said today that
the 60-year-old span probably
would be needed for rush. hour
traffic service for at least five
years.
This tentative time schedule
came from Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick J. Clarke, who
last week asked the Army
Corps Of Engineers to authorize
an indefinite reprieve for the
structure.
The bridge, in use as an
outbound span. was to be
torn down when the George
Mason Bridge, now being
built 80 feet upstream, opens
next year. In its agreement
for construction of the George
Mason Bridge. the Corps of
Engineers had stipulated that
the old bridge be removed.
Gen. Clarke's request was
based on new engineering
studies by city highway Off
cials, who had reported that

according to Edgar F. Shannon
jr., president of the university
In 1862 enrolment is expected
to be 500 full-time and 1,0OC
part-time students.
J. N. G. Finley, director OF
the college, said the new build
ings will give us an opportu-
nifty to provide the kind of edu-
cational program of college Level
required in this area" The
college is developing a strong

opens, he said.

spokesman said that Gen
Clarke will be asked just how
long the city would keep the
old span in operation.
Gen. Clarke explained that
this is a difficult question tc
answer. The idea. he said, was
that the old bridge would be
kept in operation as long as is
needed.
But. the Engineer Commits
sloner a dded. it probably
would not be torn down in less
than five years"
The thinking by city highway
officials is that the traffic need
for the old bridge probably
would not be lifted until a
new river crossing is con-
structed.
The plan by the city is to
use the old southbound bridge
only during rush hours on a re-
versed one-way operation.

Devote Bill
IsIntroduced
In Raleigh

A bill has been introduced
in the North Carolina General
Assembly to ratify the 23d
Amendment to the Constitution
which would give Washington
residents the right to vote for
President and Vice President.
Representative Ed Kemp of
High Point asked yesterday for
a Joint resolution providing for
the ratification. 1t was re-
ferred to the Committee on
Elections and Election Laws.
MIR. Kemp said, 1T is diff
cult to see how our State or
any State could vote to deny
these citizens their franchise" :"
He pointed out that District
citizens pay Federal and local
taxes and serve in the armed
forces as do other citizens.
Ratification of the 23d
Amendment would give them
a small voice in the process of
government" he added.
So far, % States have rati-
fled the amendment. To be-
come law. it needs 38 States.
The Tennessee House FL
nance, Ways and Means Com
mittee tabled a proposed Joint
resolution supporting the
amendment yesterday which
legislators there said virtually
kills all prospects of approving
the resolution this session.
The action was taken by a
voice vote in a closed session of
the committee. It was ap-
proved several days ago by the
Senate.
Representative William j.
Peeler. Democrat Of, Waverly
County, said he would ask the
House to recall the bill from
the committee, a procedure
that seldom succeeds in Ten
nessee Legislatures.

mended yesterday a project to
repair and clean the exterior
of the Monument.
In its annual report. the So
ciety said that a study made
last month by National Capital
Parks disclosed that about go
per cent of the joints between
the stones at the zero to $50
foot levels are in need of re-
pointing and about 20 per cent
need repointing between the
$50 to 500 foot levels.
In addition it noted that some
deterioration of the stones has
taken place since the repair
work done in 1884.

The society praised the use
Of guard ropes in front Of the
Monument to aid in the orderly
handling Of visitors. and that

in 1888 and was chartered by
Congress in 1859 to bear per-
petual responsibility for the
care and preservation Of the
Monument. 1t held its annual
meeting yesterday In the
Metropolitan Club.
Last year. 992,143 visitors
used the elevator to go to the
top. the society reported, while
400,74S walked up. The num-
Der Of walkers has increased

said. In that year only slightly

LAS long as I am chairman

Just how necessary this money
is"
Mr.. McMillan's committee
will hear testimony from the
DlSCrlcC commissioners at

several tax increases, and an
increase in the Federal pay

ing today before the House
Judiciary Committee.
The tea bags worn by the
Prince Georges people were a
protest against paying a share
Of State taxes which is dispro-
portionate to the county's rep
resentation in the legislature.
State Senator Edward S
Northrop, Democrat Of Mont
gomery. told the Judiciary
Committee that he could not
see how anybody can effec-
lively defend the rotten bor-
ough' composition Of the Gen.
eral Assembly Of this State"
General Revision Asked
Senator Northrop and SEN
ator James A. Pine, Democrat
of Baltimore County. have in
troduced a bill which would
add 20 seats to the House OF
Delegates. Most Of the people
in the caravan which arrived
today are members of the
Maryland Committee for FAN
Representation, which wants
both the House and the Senate
membership revised.
Senator Northrop told the
Judiciary Committee that his
bill is neither ideal or a long
range solution to the ineouity
OF representation" but he said
his position is that this is the
most the suburban counties can
expect to get through the
rurally controlled legislator.
I'VE come before you as beg
garS although every shred OF
justice and fairness is on our
side" said Delegate Blair Lee,
III. Democrat Of Montgomery
He said that "beggars can't
be choosers" so therefore legis-
lators from the Washington
area will go along with any
reapportionEnent bill"
Mr.. Lee told the House Com
mittee that the reapportionment
is inevitable" and "the only
question is whether we are
going to do it of our own free
viii or under the lash Of court
order" s.
Royce Hanson, executive
vice president OF the Commit
tee for Fair Representation,
urged support Of the bill which
embodies the Committees plan
for revising membership in
both Houses.

Resistance Encountered
The suburban residents are

sistance from the rural legisla-
tors who jealousy guard their
control Of the General Assem-
bly,.
Delegate Robert Cannon,
Democrat of Wicomico, a men,
bers Of the Judiciary Commit
tee, challenged Mrs. Lavine
who is chief judge Of the
Prince Georges Orphans Court
to get that county's legislators
to take their names off of the
perennial "rockfish bill"
Are you aware that Prince
Georges legislators are support
ing the rockfish bill which

Der Of rockfish taken from the

close the rockfish season dur

Gov. Tawes, who strongly
backs the Northrop bill, told a
press conference yesterday that
he would give reapportionment
legislation only a "fair" chance
of passing the Legislature this

Ousted Merchants
Seeking S.W. Shop
Capitol Hill
Group Eyeine
Renewal Area
BY GEORGE WILSON
Star Staff Writer

The merchants who are being
displaced from Capitol Hill by
the Federal Government are
pressing Congress to help them
get a new home in the south.
west urban renewal area.
The merchants to be dis
placed by the Government have
their eyes on a triangular piece
of ground bounded by South
Capitol. D. and Canal streets
S.W. at the foot Of Capitol Hill.
They want to set UP shops
and offices in a new building
there which could cost as much
as SIS million. A spokesman for
the Capitol Hill Merchants As
sociation said the businessmen
are interested in renting quar-
ters rather than building the
commercial center themselves.
Get Sympathetic Hearing
Leaders Of the merchants
association have been confer.
ring with staffers Of the Ma.
tional Capital Planning Com
mission and the Redevelopment
Land Agency, the urban re-
newal agencies concerned with
allocating slum-cleared land.
So far the merchants have
received q sympathetic hear
ing even though they do not
qualify as displacees under
under the urban renewal law.
The RIA is obligated under
the law to help find new loca-
tions for those displaced by
urban renewal activities. The
merchants are hopeful of get
ting the appropriate congress
stoned committees to instruct
RIA to look upon the Capitol
Hill merchants as diSplaceeS
meriting special consideration
when it comes to allocating
land in southwest.
Allan B. Elliot, a deputy d.
rector of the RIA today said
that both Staffers of his agency
and the Planning Commission
thought it made good sense"
to establish a commercial COM
plex on the 40,0O0-square-foot
site officially designated now
for community use, with the
price set at $25 a square foot.
But as a result Of the In.
terest of the displaced mer-
chants in the site, the Planning
Commission is considering
changing the designated use of
the property to commercial.
This takes official approval by
the Planning Commission
board. an action likely to be
taken in March or April.
Once this Is done, the Capitol
Hill merchants formally could
negotiate for the site.
"a Interested e
There are "a businessmen
now located along and adjacent
to independence avenue Sc,
just esat of the Old House
Office Building who are inter-

officer of the Capitol Hill Mer-
chants Association. He said
the group had considered and
then discarded the idea Of
building new commercial CEN
ter themselves because Of the
cost.
The Federal Government has
told the Capitol Hill merchants
that they probably will have to
move by next January. How

to be It -nded for the business.
