attorneys claim this lex
pressed intent" means they
have a veto power, because
they can not evaluate the
highway program if the Dis
trict keeps on building high
ways.
Funds Voted
There is another place where
the expressed intent" Of Con-
greSS is concerned.
Congressional appropriation
committees have voted the
Federal appropriations for the
80 per cent matching fund
for the five projects which
may be halted.
The status of the Potomac
River Freeway was established
by the House appropriations
committee when it reviewed
the District highway budget
last May.
Harold Aitken, District High
way Director, was asked to give
the committee a progress re-
port. He stated:
The Potomac River Freeway
begins at about the intersec-
ton of Twenty-Five and G
streets NV. proceeds through
a tunnel at New Hampshire
and Virginia avenues, north
westerly through the inter-
change at Twenty-seventh and
K streets, and up the Potomac
River with a new elevated
structure parallel to Whitehurst
Freeway to just west of Wis
conSin avenue.
Then the plan is to go I'M
der the Whitehurst Freeway
under Key bridge, and up on
the bluff in front of George
town University.
The project is already de-
signed from about K street tc
Thirty-first street NV. Some
Of the subStructureS are ir
place Just west of Rock Greek
and east Of Rock Greek Park
south Of K street.
The ramps on both the
northerly side and southerly
side Of the interchange are
advertised for bids for construc.

Transportation Agency. The
committee said it was because
Commissioners Tobriner and
Duncan reversed their previous
approval because of a housing
shortage for displaced families.
Two additional projects, the
East Leg and the Northeast
Freeway, were also postponed
because of the Commissioners
switch and because of a sug-
gestion to consider a route
along the Anacostia river.
Now the question Of the
Three Sisters Island bridge
and the Potomac River Free
way are in the hands of the
Senate District appropriations
subcommittee.
The problem of the "ex-
pressed intent" on decision
making which is in the Trans
portation Agency's legislation
is in different sections of the
law.
Words Defined
One section gives the lex.
pressed intent" in this man.
ner:
THE responsibility and au.
thority for location, design
construction, and operation,
OF freeways, parkways, anc
other arterial highway facili-
ties shall remain with the gov
ernmental agencies having
Jurisdictions thereof :"
The key phrase is response
bility and authority for loca-
ton" In this case this means
the District Commissioner
and the National Capita
Planning Commission, which
have approved all five projects
In another section, the
Transportation Agency's Law
says:
THE Agency's studies shall
also include civilizations of the
transportation system recon.
mended in the transportation
system recommended in the

'Freewoy Fate Uncertain
By LEE FLOR
Star Staff Writer

A House District subcommit-
tee report accusing the District
Commissioners of "circumvent-
ing the expressed intent Of
Congress" has left the fate of
the $38 million Potomac River
Freeway in confusion.
Previous expressed intent"
in appropriations bills have
authorized the District Com
missioners to spend So million
for the project. AS of last
March 81, 1862, $3.3 million
Of this has already been spent,
following expressed intent"
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick ]. Clarke yesterday said:
81 don't think the subcommit-
tee is against the Potomac
River Freeway."
The freeway will still have
to be built to connect to the
Potomac Palisades Parkway,
which the National Park Serv-
ice has promised to build be-
tween Chain Bridge and
Georgetown University, he said.
Differ on Laws
Bids have already been
opened for parts of the Free
way, and plans made for the
eastern half, between Twenty
seventh street NV. and Thirty
first street NV. The design be-
yond Thirty-first street NV. is
uncertain because the bridge
at Three Sisters Islands is in
doubt, General Clarke said.
The law which established
the National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency has two sections
that have been interpreted by
anti-highway lobbyists to mean
the National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency has veto power
over the highway program.
However, the District Com
missioners, reviewing the
Transportation Agency's leg
iSlation, feel that the EXPIRES
sed intent" of Congress was to
leave the decision-making on
highways to the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission and
the Commissioners.
On the question of the Poto-
mac River Freeway. the report
of the subcommittee headed
by Representative Whitener
Democrat of North Carolina,
was not clear. The report men,
toned no projects by name.
Claimed Evasion
It backed into the question
of postponement by saying the

But the Transportation

and charity e.. q, and for
fun. too. !
THERE'S NO QUESTION
about what is causing the
biggest furor of the week if
you hear the conversation
and regard the lifted eye
brows at current cocktail and
dinner parties. The huge
apartment buildings proposed
for the Mclean banks of the
Potomac.
From the Washington side.
the reaction stems from what
is regarded as the proposed
destruction of one of the most
appealing views to be seen
from the city-the lovely high
banks that rise from the rocks
along the river. From the
Mclean angle, the idea spells
death to the quiet charm of a
distinguished residential area.
Conversation centered on
the subject at a dinner Sat-
urday night at the home of
C1A'S Deputy Director for
Scientific Research Herbert
Scoville. jr., and his wife.
DR.. and Mrs. Jerome WeiSner
and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Kaysen Che is the Deputy AS
SiStant to the President for
National Security were
among the guests who dis
cuSsed the problem.
Casual attention may not
make clear enough the ex-
tent of the plan. AS one Of
the guests pointed out. the
buildings will be nearly as
high as the Washington
Monument and seven stories
taller than the Arlington
apartment buildings. Pop
them on the hills ot Merry
wood. and they'll dwarf
everything in and around

Teen age is an exciting
time and should be fun.
When a woman remembers
her adolescent years as hectic
and unhappy rather than gay
and happy, j. is sad, be-
cause she has missed one of
the most wonderful periods
of her life, which never can
be duplicated. Of course, no
period in life can ')e!
However, this is a time of
great change, and has its
strains and problems. The
girl or boy is leaving the
safe cocoon of childhood and
has not yet reached maturity.
The changes during this time
of life are swift and often
sudden. There are new ex-
perlenceS, new interests, new
associations, new RESPONSE
bilities and new figures.
Important Period
Because this is a time of
change, when the outlook
and the figure are most
amenable to direction, it
is an extremely important
period. 1t is much easier to
build a sound attitude to-
ward life in teen-age than
to change a bad one later
on. 1t is mich easier to
avoid or correct physical de-
fects at this time than it
will be later.
This is the time when a
young girl first really be-
comes aware of the opposite
sex and wants to be at

tractive and wants to be
popular. I think that some
mothers make a terrific mis-
take when they do not take
their teen-age daughters
overweight, or poor posture,
or poor grooming seriously.
The young girl has enough
adjustments to make with
out the handicap of over
weight, or hair on her legs
which her mother forbidS her
to shave away.
The body is not so "Set"
and defects in posture can
be more easily corrected. This
is the age when young women
should learn about weight
and figure control. This is
the time to form the habits
which are good insurance for
health and attractiveneSs all
through life.
They Slump
Posture is apt to de-
teriorate during teen years
because this is a period of
such rapid growth. Also. girls
may be Self-conscious about
their new curves and there
fore slump. This is a mistake
they should not make. Also,
remember that young people
vary as to the age at which
they reach their maximum
height and development.
Some reach maturity by the
age of 16 and others several
years later. Usually, girls out
grow boys for a short time.
Girls, don't slump in order
to be shorter than your boy
friends.
At teen-age I can see the

Sometimes there is the first
hint of round shoulders or
wings. a dowager's hump or
a double chin even at this
youthful age. I am always
happy when I see the natural
ease and grace of youth en-
hanced by a straight spine,
a stunningly held head and
a walk like a dream.

he adds.
These are easy to grow. and
tolerant Of a wide variety Of soils.
Roses should be planted in a
hole about twice as wide as the
spraad Of the roots and deep
enough so the plant can be put
to the depth it was planted in
the nursery. This can be deter
mined by finding the soil mark
on the stem. The bud union OF
''knuckle" on the stem should be
just barely below the surface OF
the ground. Be sure the soil is
well distributed around the roots
and firmed down to eliminate air
pockets.
Roses should be watered
weekly unless there is enough
natural rainfall. In arid areas
fSequen( watering rs needed.
Water thoroughly. says Tinga.
until the soil about the roots is
well soaked without watering
the foliage of the plant.
About every two weeks spray
or dust with an all-purpose in
