Emanuel Lutheran Church,
of Bethesda, organized in De.
cember of 1861, will utilize the
first unit of its long-range
building program on Sunday.
Located at Bradley Boulevard
and Seven Locks Road, the
chapel provides seating space
for 100 and is fully air condi-
toned. While all appointments
of the new building are not com.
plete in every detail, the facili.
ties are completely adequate for
worship and include off-street
parking space for at least 100
cars.
Pending construction of the
new building, the congregation
has been worshipping tenn
porarily in the Burning Tree
School. AS a result of the move,
the regular 10 am. Sunday
services will be supplanted by a
visual-aid program for children
during the same hours.
Due to the fact that all de-
tails of the building program
have not been completed, com.
bined with the absence of some
members of the congregation
during the vacation period, a
formal dedication of the new
church will not be held until
Sunday, Sept. 8.
Composed of stone quarried
on Seven Locks Road, the
church was built by Farragut
and Sons, of Kensington, from
plans designed by the architec.
tural firm of Vosbeck and
Ward, of Alexandria.
Leonard D. Sullivan is chair
man Of the building committee
Of the church, operated by Rev.
Frederick E. Reissig as pastor.

Shift of Medical Units
Fovored by Tobriner
Bucks GAO Proposal to Consolidate
Services Under Health Department

NV, would be shifted to the
Health Department.
Donald Brewer. acting direc-
tor of the Welfare Department,
said that he feels that there
would be some value to con-
solidating health services in
the Health Department. but
much more study is needed to
indicate in which areas it would
be most effective.
II do feel that the Health
Department should be given the
authority to make an overall
review of all health operations.
However, Mr.. Brewer said
consolidation could create some
administrative problems.
For example," he said. "at
Junior Village we use nurses at
three of the cottages where
the younger children stay and
counselors at the other cot
tages.
Complications Seen
IF the nurses at some of the
cottages we're under the Health
Department and the counselorS
were under the Public Welfare
Department, administration OF
Junior Village would be made
more complicated"
The GAO proposal would also
transfer the Department oi
Corrections Hospital at Lorton
Va, and the Board of Police
and Fire Surgeons, which now
reports to the District Com
missioners, to the Health De-
partment.
The GAO plan could add sew
eral million dollars TO the
Health Department budget. But
GAO repeatedly believes that
the consolidation would result
in a more efficient and eco
nomical operation with a net
saving to the District.

Interference
Censure of
Byrd Fails
BY BETTY JAMES
Star staff Writer

The Public Welfare Advisory
Council was asked yesterday
to express resentment against
interference" by Senator Rob-
ert c. Byrd, in the Districts
search for a welfare director.
But the proposal died after
vigorous debate, without COM
ing to a vote.
Council member Paul B.
Cornely urged that two things
be made known to Commits
sioner John B. Duncan, who
is responsible for welfare mat
ters here.
l. That the council believed
the Commissioner should take
his time and deliberate care
fully before choosing a new di-
rector.
2. That the council was not
in favor of Senator Byrd max
ing statements or interfering
in, any way with the selection
of a public welfare director. "
Senator Byrd. Democrat of
West Virginia, is chairman of
the Senate District Appropria-
ters here:
II don't share the enthusi-
asm the council chairman has
for the gentleman from West
Virginia. l think Senator Byrd
has done considerable damage
to the District of Columbia,
DR.. Cornely declared.
He was referring to a letter
j. E. Bindeman. retiring coun-
Gil chairman. sent Monday to
Commissioner Duncan, setting
forth his personal views on well
fare.
In his letter. Mr.. Bindeman
criticized attacks on Senator
Byrd as unfair and un-
founded" and praised the Sen
ator's contributions TO the
city's welfare effort.
Mr.. Bindeman was succeeded
yesterday by Mrs. Hobart A.
Spalding. who pointed out that
the city is in the midst of
Congressional hearings on the
budget.

freeze May Not Stop
Some Freewoy Work

The freeze order which Presi-
dent Kennedy issued for ap-
preparations for the Potomac
River freeway last Monday
apparently will not interfere
with construction now under
way.
Congress in the last five years
has appropriated $26 million
for the freeway. Backed by
congressional appropriations
and approval by the National
Capital Planning Commission,
the District has plunged into
work on the freeway.
This now leaves the District
with the possibility of a large,
cleaning white chunk of con-
crete standing idle. Its cost is
roughly equal to that Of the d.
c. Stadium.
The District last fall asked
for Sill million local funds to
complete financing for the
freeway. With matching funds
already voted by Congress
years ago. the total amount
blocked by the freeze order" /;
STA million which otherwise
would be in next years budget
The freeway is in a different
situation than the Three Sisters
Island bridge. Planning and
construction funds have been
approved by Congress in the
last two years for the bridge,
but no construction has been
started.
But around $40 million has
been spent or obligated for the
right of way alone for the
Potomac freeway. Contracts
totaling another S5 million
have been awarded months ago
for work between Thirty-fi first
street and Twenty-seventh
street NV.
The background of the free
way shows a steady rate of
approvals by the Planning
Commission and Congress, be-
fore the commission this year
asked for a deferral.
The Potomac freeway is that
part Of the Inner Loop freeway
system between @ street NV.
and the bluff by Georgetown
University, along the Potomac
River.
Basic financing activity
started when Congress passed
the 1856 Highway Act, approx
ing a Nationwide system of
interstate freeways financed
by gasoline taxes paid by
motorists.
The 1856 program provides
30 per cent matching funds,
mostly from gasoline taxes col
lected by the Federal Govern
ment. For the District. the
local 10 per cent in matching
funds comes from District taxes
levied mainly at the gas pump.
With financing assured. the
District started working on
plans. On November 6, 1858,
Evening star., 1963-05-29

the planning commission ap-
proved the general location of
the freeway from G street to
the vicinity of Thirty first
street NV.
Then on July 13, 1861, in
executive session, the planning
commission approved the re-
mainder of the freeway, in
cluding a design for inter-
change connections to the pro-
posed Three Sisters bridge.
After the Glover-Archbold
Park fight, the interchange
design had to be changed. The
planning commission is still
studying design for this part
of the freeway. from Thirty
first street to the bridge site.
Spent or Obligated
The District in the last five
years has obligated or spent
the following sums on the free
way:
Fiscal year 1853. preliminary
engineering. $500, 900. and right
of way. $1,000.
In 1860, $265 1892 for right OF
way.
In 1861. $s5, 1922 for prelim-
mary engineering, $4,033, ,295 for
right of way, and $113,325 for
construction.
In 1862, $28,640 for prelim-
mary engineering: $5,6O1, ,492
for right of way, and $685.
452 for construction.
In 1868, $3.50 for prelimi-
nary engineering. $529,828 for
right of way, and $4,000, $50 for
construction.
In addition. Congress has ap-
proved around $l2 million for
other construction work which
is about to be awarded for the
freeway portion which has been
approved by the Planning Com
mission.
If the Three Sisters bridge is
not built. a freeway will be
needed anyway, to handle traf-
fic from the Palisades parkway
from Montgomery County.
But the financial formula
would be changed from 90-l0 TO
$3.50.
This means that instead of
getting a $40 million freeway
for 81 million in local funds,
the District will have TO pay
half. or $50 million.

Aquarium Bill
Passes After
Senate Fight
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star staff Writer

The national aquarium pro-
ject, already a marvel of sur
vival, sailed on toward Hams
Point today clearing the Senate.
What may have been the
final effort to do in the $40
million project failed yester-
day afternoon.
The aquarium project is
included in a $685. million
Interior Department budget
passed yesterday by the Sen
ate. 1t carries money for four
Washington area projects re-
jected ny the House.
The House and Senate YER
sions now go to conference.
The attack on the aquarium
was led by Senator Lausche,
Democrat Of Ohio. The specific
target was a $4,000 spending
request to plan and design what
is known officially as the Ma
tional Fisheries Center and
Aquarium.
The spending item. carried
in the Interior Departments
budget, had cleared the House
and the Senate Appropriations
Committee. When the budget
came up for floor action yes
terday, Senator Lausche arose
to take one last stab at the
fresh and saltwater pet of Rep
resentative Kirwan. Democrat
of Ohio and Chairman of the
Democratic Confessional Cam
paign Committee.
The Senate, however, re-
mained unrepentant. by a roll
call vote of So to %.
Included in the appropriation
bill passed by the Senate is:
A $724,6O0 fund to purchase
additional land at Mockley
Point to preserve the view from
Mount Vernon.
A total Of IS million to re-
model the old Patent Office
Building at Seventh and F
streets NV. after the Civil
Service Commission moves to
new quarters. The old building
would become part of the
Smithsonian Institution.
A $5l1.000 item in planning
money for a National Air Mu-
scum that would be built across
the mall from the National Art
Gallery.
A total of 50 million to pay
for restoration of the Ford
Theater.
The House deleted the four
projects when 1t passed the ap-
preparations bill for Interior
and related agencies earlier this
month.
The Senate passed bill Is
about $56.5 million higher than
the amount voted by the House.

A top District official said
today that he generally favors
transferring several city health
agencies and operations to the
Health Department. as pro-
posed in a confidential General
Accounting Office recommen-
dation.
Walter N. Tobriner, president
of the District Board of Com
missioners, said that ION the
whole. I favor consolidation of
medical services within the
Health Department, although
there may be instances where
such a consolidation will not
operate to the best advantages
of the city"
The GAO proposal. which has
not yet been submitted to Con-
gress. has been sent to various
District government officials
for comment.
Under the GAO plan. nurses
assigned to the city's Junior
and senior high schools would
come under the Jurisdiction of
the Health Department instead
of that Of the Board of Edu-
cation as at present.
FavOrs Transfer
Mr.. Tobriner said that as
a member of the school board
he had favored transf fsrring
the school nurse service to the
Health Department.
However, Carl F. Hansen, SUI
perintendent Of public schools,
has said he does not think
these nurses should be placed
under Health Department iuris-
diction.
DR.. Hansen said that the
nurse program in the ele-
mentary schools is now under
the Department of Public
Health and this program is
woefully inadequate"
He said that since the
Health Department has beer
unable to get sufficient funds
for an adequate nurse program
for the elementary schools HI
would be reluctant to have thu
nurse service for junior anC
senior high schools transferred
to this department.

The
Rambler
Sees Them
Headed This WAY
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Arter all the racial trou-
bles are solved; after all the
bombs are on the shelf,
ready for inspection; after
all the world is at last at
peace-it won't last long.
Women will rise.
They-already-are on the
golf courses and in the
Senate, the bowling alleys,
pool halls, old cool bars.
They refuse to baby sit; they
handle most of the negotia-
tions between doctors, elec-
tricians, garbage collectors,
cleaners, grocers, gas men,
electric men, vacuum clean
er men, telephone men and
exterminating men. Some go
out to lunch and drink, even.
And, gentlemen, they have
a Presidential Commission
on the Status of Women.
You got as much?
Any time the President
goes and sets up a commits
sion on something, it means
enough people think some
thing is wrong with some
thing and something ought
to be done about it.
Women are out to improve
their status. There is no
other logical reason for the
commission which, inciden-
tally and of some signifi-
canoe, perhaps, has most of
its offices on the fifth floor
of the new headquarters of
the Veterans of Foreign
Wars building, Second and
Maryland avenue.
They have established a
beachhead.
The Rambler dropped by
there the other day and
picked up some information
on what the commission has
been up to. OF major impor-
tance is a big report the
commission will produce by
october of this year and
hand over to President Ken
nedy. There may still be time
to do something about it.
%
IT ALL STARTED back in
December of 1861 when the
President, by one of those
executive orders" set up
the commission.
Said the President:
there still remain many
areas where outmoded Gus
toms and practices prevent
women, simply because they
are women, from achieving
full equality in our American
life"
Ut is probably true, ever
since they got the vote back
% years ago, all was lost,
anyway
All of a sudden there were
26 members of the commits
sion (some .male) and seven
committees.
One of them got to the
chairman of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and the
next thing he said was,
This practice of requesting
men only for most jobs was
largely habit or outmoded
custom. Once appointing
officers had to stop and
think, they realized that
women could do practically
all of the jobs as well as
men,"
And a bunch of foolish,
innocent industrial relations
executives reportedxto the
commission - satisfactory
experience with women in
high-level executive, profess
sional and technical posi-
tions."
