Primaries were held in 10 States

of Senator Bridges and an out

Bass, an Eisenhower Republi-

Powell lost to John Pillsbury, a
State legislator of more liberal
bent. The result of these races
was to offer the States voters a
ticket which many Republicans
thought would reduce drastically
any chances the Democrats might
have had in November.
The hottest of the New Hamp-
shire campaigns was for the Sen

Robertson Won't Vote
For Mass Transit Bill

The $500 million Federal pro-
gram for urban transportation,
which planners hope to use for
financing rapid transit in the
Washington area, will be OPP
posed by a key Virginia Sen
ator.
IT oppose the bill and I shall
vote against it," Senator Rob-
ertson, Democrat of Virginia,
said in a report released today
by the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee. Senator
Robertson is chairman Of the
committee.
The committee reported the
bill out last Friday. It would
permit the District of Columbia
to receive a grant which could
go as high as $62.5 million.
Another $50 million would be
available after the first subsidy
was exhausted. Similar
amounts would be available for
Maryland and Virginia.
Chalk Amendment
The committee report also
shows that a key amendment
requested by o. Roy Chalk,
president of D. C Transit Sys-
tenn, Inc. had been altered.
Mr.. Chalk asked for amend
ments to prevent Federal funds
from being used to buy out
private transit companies with
cut their permission. The
Senate version would permit
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency, for example,
to buy out local bus firms if il
was decided necessary for a
CO -ordinated transportation
system.
In his dissent, Senator
Robertson said:
1.-THE new Federal spending
program set up under this bill
would be one more step in the
process of transferring all
power and authority to the
Federal Government - and
eliminating all State and local
power and authority"

them of failing to cooperate
with planning bodies of the

The attack came from Dom

He charged that Mr.. Stolen

Parkway. Land owned by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
also is under negotiation for
purchase for the Parkway,
officials said.
Several designs have been
proposed for the Parkway. One
design would have several lanes
use the present Canal road, on
a level with the river bank,
with other lanes using the
streetcar route on the bluffs.
Mr.. Freeman said the deci-
sion to build the parkway was
the result of an agreement be-
tween National Park Service,
the Bureau of Public Roads
and the District in 1858. The
National Park Service, the
parent agency for the Ma
tional Capital Parks, agreed to
build the parkway as a sub
stitute for an Interstate route
that would parallel the river.
Mr.. Freeman said no deci-
sion has been made yet on
which of several designs may
be used for the parkway. The
Bureau Of Public Roads is
working with park officials on
the plans, he said.
The District Highway De-
partment has funds to study
proposals to double deck Chain
Bridge and has included pro-
posals in its six-year public
works program for an $I1.5
million Arizona avenue bridge
to connect to the parkway.
Appropriations for the Three
Sisters Islands Bridge have
been passed by the House Dis
trict Appropriations Commit
tee. and will be reviewed by
the Senate District Appropria-
tons Subcommittee.
The Three Sisters span has
been criticized by key Con-
greSsmen and numerous civic
groups who feel that the road
building proposals interfere
with rapid transit development
plans which will be sent to
Congress this fall.
