Of New Span

Representative Broynill, Re-
publican of Virginia, took steps
today to expedite the opening
of the new Woodrow Wilson
Bridge, delayed because of o
missing section of railing.
Mr.. Broyhill said he had
called Rich Reynolds, president
Of the Reynolds Aluminium Co.
in Richmond, manufacturer of
the aluminium railing, and
asked to have the delivery date
moved up.
"Mr. Reynolds was very
anxious to do anything he
could" Mr.. Broyhill said. "How-
ever, he said there was a sub
contractor involved-a fabrica-
tor-and that the subcontrac-
tor might be responsible for
some of the delay"
In another long distance
phone call this morning, Mr..
Broyhill called Francis Turner,
acting commissioner of the
Bureau of Public Roads, and
inquired If the bridge might
not be opened before the rail-
ings were in place If the bridge
were properly policed.
However, Mr.. Broyhill said
he and Mr.. Turner came to
the conclusion that aside from
the safety factor, it would be
too difficult to put the railing
in place with traffic on the
bridge. 80.

on the Shenandoah River and
the south branch of the Poto-
mac as substitutes for a River
Bend impoundment along with
series of smaller dams.
The fourth alternative relies
entirely on a system Of smaller
tributary dams.
Assure Water for 50 Years
The engineers have said the
dams are being proposed to
store water so that the WASH
ington area and other popula-
ton centers in the Potomac
basin would be assured Of an
adequate water supply for the
next so years.
In addition, the engineers
say, the dams would help con-
troll floods and release addl-
tional water when needed to
reduce pollution in the river
system. Also, the engineers con-
tend, the reservoirs behind
these dams would provide new
recreation areas for the basins
soaring population.
The four plans will be pre-
Sented to residents of the Po-
tomac basin at a series of seven
public meetings starting at the
end of this month.
One purpose in disclosing the
alternative plans will be to
gauge public reaction. Public
support is vital if the dams
are to be built because a sizable
portion of the costs of dam
construction will have to be
paid by the States and local
communities in the Potomac
basin. The Federal Govern
ment will pay only part of
the total bill.

Police Believe 30Coses
Solved in HoIdupA

A man arrested on a holdup
charge early today may be i'm
plicated in nearly 80 other rob-
berries since his release from
prison last July, police reported.
Inspector Richard Felber,
head of the Eastern Detective
District, said Paul c. Williams,
81. Of the 200 block Of v street
NV, was arrested as he re-
turned home at 2:45 am.
Williams became a prime
suspect after two teen-agers
told police they followed him
from an attempted holdup.
Detective Charles c. Samen.
who talked with the boys, IA
and is, said the youths later
recognized Williams picture in
police files.
Freed on Parole
Williams was sentenced to
prison for two to six years on
June 26. 1859, according to
Robbery Squad Capt. Murray
Kutner. He was paroled last
July 26.
Last night, detectives said,
a man entered Willie's Bakery

what appeared to be a revolver.
He held a handkerchief over
his face as If he had a cold.
He demanded money from the
manager, Mrs. Rebecca Aron-
son, A, but a friend, Mrs. Ruth
Kst, Sc, of 1921 K street NE,
headed for the door. When she
refused to stop. the man pushed
past her and fled. She followed
for a block.
Teen-agers Followed
The teen-agers also were

said. Since the suspect wasn't
afraid Of them, he stopped to
light a cigarette. He asked the
boys what they were doing,

1.-The question had been

the discussion throughout
the country, the claims of
various places, especially
those of st. Louis, were ad-
vanced.
!"In a little more than two
years after being called to
the attention of Congress,
the matter was allowed to
drop, the leading st. Louis
advocate declaring the time
was not ripe, a conclusion, as
it proved, which was not
lacking a substantial basis,
for before that Congress ad-
journed a m a jority of a
House committee had not
only made an adverse report,
but an appropriation was
provided for beginning the
erection of the State, War
and Navy Building, the most
costly that up to that time
had been erected for the use
of the executive branch of

Savings Noted
He noted that the govern

city $25. 900 to support a moth

while about $500 is invested in
each mother at the training

"The savings are so great it's

Meanwhile, in B Baltimore,
anti : segregation leaders will
meet tonight to begin planning
another sit : in demonstration
for next Saturday like the one
staged by hundreds of Negroes
and whites in the city's reStau-
rants during the week end.
I'VE confidently expect hun
dreds of additional participants
to join," said the Rev. Logan
Kearse, pastor of the Corner
stone Baptist Church, where
the meeting is scheduled for
7 pm.
The 40-year-old Negro pas
tor, leader of the drive to force
desegregation of the restau-
rants, estimated that 500 per-
sons of both races took part in
the Sit-ins which lasted all day
Saturday. Thirty-three of the
allie G ed demonstrators were
arrested, but there was no vio-
lence or serious disturbance.
The % arrested in Baltimore
including Mr.. Kearse-were
released after seven hours in
jail when they posted collateral

Restaurateurs to Meet
The Maryland Restaurant
Association will discuss the
at a meeting tonight
in Baltimore. The organization
has asked for a Statewide

though many individual oper-
ators obviously oppose volun-
tary desegregation.
The National Association for
The Advancement of Colored
People sent a telegram to Gov.
raweS asking for a special ses-
sion of the General Assembly to
bass an equal accommodations
bill. The Governor has turned
iown similar suggestions in the

The NAACP also protested
the arrest of 10 Sit-in demon
strators in Annapolis, not far
rom the Statehouse. The tele-
gram said conditions which
permit such arrests are "un-
yodly, immoral and unjust"

It has been pretty well
forgotten.
But a serious effort was
made after the Civil War to
move the Government out of
Washington.
And the city chosen by
sponsors Of the move for the
new Capital of the United
States was, of all places, st.
Louis, Mo.
Ye Gods! The st. Louis
ers are worse than
Washington'S.
Washington was a mess
after the Civil War.
Talk about tempos in the
parks!
After the Civil War there
were shacks in the public
reservations" (now Lincoln
Park, Stanton Park, Garfield
Park, etc.),
The freed slaves coming up
from the South liked Wash
ington. They built them
selves shacks on any vacant
land just as they had done
on the plantations, with no
thought as to ownership.
All the Government build
ings suffered war damage,
not from shot and shell but
from troop occupancy. A reg
iment had been billeted in
the rotunda of the Capitol
under the uncompleted dome.
The garrison protecting the
White House had been quar-
tered in the Treasury.
The soldiers had cut down
trees for firewood in Lafay-
cite Park and elsewhere. The
famed park in front of the
White House still contained
a cemetery.
Flood conditions had dam

was still a dirt road. 1t was
not until 1871 that the fa-
nous mile from the Capitol
to the Treasury was paved
with wooden blocks at a cost
of 81 million.
Washington had actually
lost non-military population
during the war. The city
went broke. Work had to be
stopped on a school under
construction and the city
was unable to build the Gen.
ter Market on land given 1t
by Congress for that purpose.
The tax rate was cut in half.
In 1857 the new Republic
can Party nominated Sayles
j. Bowen, a businessman,
for mayor. The total regis
tration was only 18,O0O-s,-
792 white; 8,212 colored.
Only $4,000 voted.
The Democratic candidate
was John T. Given, another
businessman.
The election was so close
that Bowen's slight majority
was at first disputed. The city
council of IL members was
evenly divided-six Republic
cans and six Democrats. So
the Republicans nominated
a chairman and the Demo-
Gratis did likewise. Three
months passed before the
deadlock ended.
That was the situation
when John A. Logan, Repub-
1ican of Illinois, gave notice
in the House that he would
offer a resolution providing
for the removal of the Capt.
tai from Washington.
1t seems that the Republi-
cans from the Midwest re-
sented the location of the
Capital in a Southern State
much more than did those
from New England, New York
and Pennsylvania.
Bowen had campaigned on
the appeal that the election
of a Republican mayor would

the Government. His elec-
ton seemed to increase the
clamor.
