Politics or PUG. Post
Is Bernstein's Choice

The 32-year-old president OF
the Young Democrats of the
District today was recon-
mended by a Senate commit
tee to be Public Utilities Com
missioner if he resigns his
political office.
Edgar H. Bernstein, an econ
omist, was unopposed at SEN
ate hearings. But his party
activities stirred a lively dis
cuSsion among District Com
mittee members in the Senate
about the possible conflict of
partisan politics and city serv-
ice.
Committee Chairman Bible,
Democrat of Nevada, opened
the issue by reading a telegram
from William F. Morley, listed
at 1929 Phelps street NV. The
wire asked whether a political
party officer could perform
quasi-judicial functions.
Mr.. Bernstein said he hoped
he would be able to hold his
party office. Both District and
Federal lawyers have advised
him his party work did not con-
stitute a conflict, under the
law, he told Senator Bible.
Agreed to Resign
Republican Senators Miller
of Iowa and Beall of Maryland
pressed him with the specific
question: Would he resign If
the committee requested it?
Mr.. Bernstein said he would.
my feeling is, regardless of
inner conviction, that the i'm
portant thing is the impress
sion of the general public of
possible conflicts" Senator
Miller said at hearings. He re-
ferred Mr.. Bernstein to a series

Macdonald Barr. deputy di-
rector of the National Capital
Regional Planning Council, said
the Henson Valley plan follows
the corridor concept proposed
in the plan for the year 1000.
He suggested that high-rise
apartments be added to the
high-density section marked for
the Rosecroft Raceway area,
since it is expected to be served
with rapid transit.
State View Given
A letter from John B. Funk,
director of the State Roads
Commission, said the express
way would provide for a pre-
ferred strong corridor Of devel-
opment.
But its exact location must
result from a co-ordinated and
cooperative analysis by local.

planning, transportation and

Ben Dyer, a planning con-
sultant who presented the
county Chamber of Commerce
and Southern Maryland Board
of Trade report, proposed high
density nodes on Indianhead
highway at GlaSSmanor, its in
tersection with the Capital
beltway, in Friendly and at
Piscataway Greek.
On Branch avenue he pro-
posed the nodes at NARROW
Heights, Clinton and T. B. BY
also extending the Anacostia
freeway and using Suitland
parkway, growth during the
next 10 years could be prop

At one point in the battles
of August 1880, Jackson's
men, with ammunition ex-
hausted, hurled those stones
to partially repel a Union at

CURED along this strip on
August 80. On the previous
day Jackson, his $4,000 in
fantry and 40 guns had taken
position along the ready
m a de entertainments the
road provided. One history
manual says: "All afternoon
in violent but uncoordinated
attacks, blue columns gal
lantly assaulted Jackson's
line"
At dusk, fighting stopped.
More Confederate troops
were advancing to the area,
but Union Major General
John Pope was unaware of
this. And because during
the night the ConfederateS
retired from the advanced
positions and camped back
behind the railroad bed
mound, Pope falsely as
sumed the Confederates were
retreating. He made plans
to press a vigorous pursuit
BY midafternoon the I'm
ion columns advanced three
lines deep. The unsuspect-
ing troops pushed forward.
There was a strange quiet,
it is reported, as the Con-
federateS, behind their pro-
tective railroad bed, watch
ed the lines draw closer,
then suddenly opened fire.
THE WOODS which now
obscure the area from the
rest of the battlefield were
not there then and all was
visible to Confederate Leader
Longstreet, who shelled the
Union Army from about 1900
yards away. AS dusk fell on
August 80 the retreat had
started.
Far into the woods is the
steepest part of the bed,

here and come to a battered
reminder of the battle.
A tall monument, its red
dish brown stone almost OBJ
scured by moss and lichens,
stands in what was open
land when it was built in
1865. Parts of the stone
have been Clipped from the
inscription and the last
three letters of patriots are

read: I'm memory of the pa
triots who fell at Groveton,
August 28-29-30th."

the base so long ago now

There is some talk of clear

the late afternoon sun hardly
visible and listening to the
strangely peaceful noise Of
the birds it somehow seems
as if it would be better this
way.
