On another controversial
item. Mr.. Woodward switched
over to the minority to vote in
favor of adding three remedial
reading teachers.
Everett Saunders also voted
with the minority for four ad-
ditional travelling music teach
erS.
The usual 4-to-3 vote, how
ever, ruled out three new physi-
cal education instructors, two
librarians and three art teach
ers. The effect on the budget
on these cuts was a $ll .404
reduction.
Travel Funds Cut
BY the same 4-to-3 vote, ST.

intendent's $4,000 request for
out-of-county travel funds.
Board member William Z.

said:
Il feel, at times, there are
excessive delegations attend
ing meetings. The staff should
evaluate the calendar to JUS
tify attendance. how many go,
and what the potential value
might be-"
Originally the Board had
planned to wind up action on
the operating budget today,
but only l6 Of the 200 pages
in the budget were covered last
night, indicating that several
more meetings probably will

Ramps Let
Near Sisters Bridge
Two Roodwoys
To Link Potomac,
Loop Freewuys
BY LEE FLOR
Star staff Writer

The District Highway De-
partment is taking another
four block lunge toward the
site of the proposed Three Sis
ters bridge.
A Sl9 million contract for
construction OF two important
ramps for the Potomac River
freeway between Twenty-sixth
and Thirtieth streets NV. has
been awarded to Fort Wayne,
Ind, construction firm, Ruck-
man a. Hansen.
The Potomac River freeway
will run just north of the Poto-
mac River between G street
NV. and the Three Sisters
bridge site a half mile west OF
Key Bridge,
The ramps are the all-im-
portant connections between
the proposed eight-lane free.
way and the Inner Loop free.
way. They are to connect the
Whitehurst freeway, which is
to become the westbound sec.
ton of the Potomac River free.
way, to the Inner Loop.
To Span Park
They will be elevated or
piers crossing Rock Creek Park
Just south Of the Pennsylvania
avenue bridge over the park.
Ruckman a. Hansen already
have the $2.8 million contract
for similar ramps just south OF
the Whitehurst freeway, ramp.
No. 2 and No. 3.
Ramps l and 4 are TO be fin.
iShed within 20 months after
the order to proceed. The
ramps already under contract
also are to be finished within
20 months, and thus will b.
completed three months ahead
of ramps 2 and 3.
The award letter to Ruck-
man a. Hansen will be followed
by review of the contract by
the Board Of Commissioners.
1 The four ramps are to be
finished ahead of the rest of
the Potomac freeway. in prepa-
ration for tearing out chunks
OF the Whitehurst freeway
and K street for later con-
struction Of the Inner Loon
freeway. The Inner Loop free
way is to be about 20 feet
beneath the surface in the
Rock Greek area.
This will require changing
the level of the Whitehurst
freeway.
Federal Funds
AS part of previously ap-
proved Inner Loop projects, the
project awarded yesterday will
qualify for 80 per cent financ.
ing by Federal funds.
The four ramps and inter-
change at the Whitehurst
freeway and Rock Creek Park
all are part Of the controversy
over the Three Sisters bridge.
The ramps and interchange
mean the Potomac River free
way will be eight lanes, at least
between Key Bridge and Rock
Greek Park.
Because 1t is estimated tC
cost almost as much to i'm
prove Key Bridge as it would
to build the Three Sisters
bridge, the District Commits
sioners have told President
Kennedy and key members
OF Congress they feel justi-
fled in proceeding with con-
struction of the bridge.
/ II an eight-lane Potomac
River freeway is built, and Key
Bridge is not connected, then
the new bridge will have to be
built. the Commissioners said.
The Commissioners stand /:
now under review by the White
House. pending further analysis
by the National Capital Trans
portation Agency, which has
opposed building the bridge.
One Of the reasons the Com
missioners favor the bridge is
that they feel 1t would help
eliminate some Of the traffic
which now clogs NJ street In
Georgetown in the rush hour.

MiddIeWeights
Featured in
AAU Tourney

The middleweights, frequent
ly the crowd pleasers of this
tournament as a group. step
front and center tonight to
provide half of the II bouts
opening the District AAU Gold
en- Gloves tournament at Capt.
tol Arena. Opening bell is at
$3.50 o'clock.
OF the 80 fighters registered
in the senior division, IL are
l56-pounders, making the mid
dleweight class by far the most
popular.
Similarly. of the 81 novice
boxers, 10 are middleweights,
matching the 147-pound class
in number of entries in the
less experienced division.
Consequently, all four senior
fights tonight will be at 156
pounds and three of the 10
novice bouts will be at that
weight.
While the middleweights are
the largest in number, they
also sometimes throw the most
punches per man, indicating
anything might happen in this
class. And with a berth in the
Pan American Games on the
distant horizon, the boys should
be slugging from the opening
gong.
The novices have the extra
incentive that they might be
included in the Washington
team which will compete in the
National AAU championships
March 7-9 at Utica, N. Y. If a
boy proves to be a natural box
er. even though only a novice,
he could be invited in place Of
a senior. Success in the Ma
tionals would lead to tie trial

Games.

Bucky has retained a sharp
interest in the American League
and is as familiar with the
Washington talent as anybody
in the organization. He and
Selkirk will get together several
times before they leave for
spring training. Both will tour
Florida.
The Senator's prospects for
next season would be termed
excellent in comparison with
the last Washington team that
Harris managed. When he took
over in 1850 the Senators had
won only 16 of their last n
games. Rae Scarborough was

eight games, and the club did

Now Couple Of Pros
Are Calling the Shots

THE WAY GENERAL MANAGER
George Selkirk must have reasoned, it
certainly would be handy to have one more
pro in the Senators front office. And SO
today we find our old friend, Stanley
(Bucky) Harris, wearing a new title of
adviser and chief of special assignments
1t won't hurt the public relations end,
either, having Bucky back in the city
where he started nearly As years ago as
q brash, tough little second baseman who
was one of the very good ones.
A few months ago the Senators didn't
have a man who had played the game in
the front office. Now they've got a pair,
Selkirk in the GINS chair and Harris
wherever duty calls. They not only played,
they also managed. And both have logged
time in ivory towers.
Another common tie is that both have
been on winners. Selkirk became accus-
toned to playing for pennant winners
with the Yankees, Harris played twice for
successful Washington teams (oh, so long
agoD and managed three champions. 1t
is, putting 1t mildly, reassuring.
TO MICKEY VERNON, probably hear
ing of Harris new affiliation with the
Senators at his Pennsylvania home, It's
got to come as good news. Mickey had two
strikes on him from the beginning when
he took over as field manager Of the new
Washington club in the winter Of 1860.
First, he was rookie manager. Second
ly, Mickey didn't have that old head with
the bonafide baseball background in an
upstairs office. This is meant as no reflec-
ton on Ed Doherty, the original general
manager.
Doherty was a man Of broad expert
ence, person Of many virtues and at
tributes. But he hadn't played, and since
he hadn't, his scarcely was the shoulder
on which Mickey could rest his head and
cry away his grief and Illustration. Faced
with the personnel he was forced TO play

panacea for Vernon. He was-presumably

Pro Selkirk

1t always be readily available. But It's a

often enough, but Charlie
eventually succumbed to the
number of blows, not from their
force.
In the second round, Powell,
who mumbled obscenities to
Clay for most Of the short Lived

with a stinging right to the
stomach. Clay wobbled momen-
tarily. but Powell seemed un-
able to follow up.

Guar obaII WIltoE
The Senators made q move
to disassociate themselves with
the American League cellar to-
day when they hired Bucky
Harris for special assignments
and to evaluate players.
Harris, in one of baseball's
most distinguished careers,
never has been connected with
a last-place club as player,

General Manager George Sell
kirk, a longtime fan Of
Bucky's. announced Harris will
scout the major league teams
in Florida during spring train
ing, work out of Washington
during the season and evaluate
players on a major league level.
Quit Job With SOx
Bucky was employed by the
Chicago White Sox in a similar
capacity for the last two years.
He resigned when the Chicago
club insisted its key personnel
live in the Chicago area.
Harris lives In Kensington,
Nd, with his wife, Marie. His
two sons live here, Stanley, jr.,
who is an attorney, and Dick,
who is in the investment busi-
ness.
Bucky. a scrappy second
baseman who led Washington
to It's only World Series victory
In his first year as manager
1924-served 18 of his 20 years
as a major league manager in
Washington. He is the only
player in baseball history to
pilot the same club three times.
Bucky broke in with WASH
ington in 1919. He managed the
Senators under Clark Griffith
from 1924 to 1923, succeeding
DOME Bush in his first term. He
returned in 1885 after Joe Gro
min was sold to the Red Sox, and
stayed until 1912. He returned
in 1850 for five seasons, sue
ceeding Joe Kuhel.
Headed 4 Other Clubs
Harris managed the Tigers
for seven years, the Yankees
two, and the Phillies and Red
Sox one each. He won the
World Series with his 1947
Yankee team. i

POWELL GOES IN 3, AS PREDICTED
Clay Wants Liston in 10 Months,
But Handlers Have Other Ideas
BY MORRIS SIEGEL
Star Staff Writer

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25.-It
is the aim Of Cassius Marcellus
Clay to beat Sonny Liston
within the next 10 months and
thereby become the youngest
fighter ever to win the heavy
weight championship of the
world.
1t is the aim Of his 10 owners
and trainer, Angelo Dundee, to
keep their young tiger as far
from Liston as they can at the
moment. CLAY thinks he's
ready now" Dundee said today.
but we think he needs a little
more experience"
Clay was not overpoweringly
impressive in chopping up inept
Charlie Powell at the Civic
Arena here last night. Powell,
who once played defensive end
for the San Francisco 49ers, Of
fered little or no defense
against Clay, yet it still took
Cassius three rounds to chop
down the glass-chinned Cali
fornian. OF course that was the
round in which he had pre-
dicted the end would come, the
18th time he has called the
round.
Fights Jones in March
Cocky Cassius' best punches
were hooks to the head, but it
was a straight right hand-a
right lead at that - which
caught Powell over the left eye
and finally ended the trivia
after 2:04 Of the third round.
The victory over Powell was
No. II for the unbeaten 21-
year-old former Olympic cham
pion and IN less than two
months he'll be in action again.
Doug Jones, fresh off a win
over Fora Foley, will be his OPP
ponent in a non-televised fight
March l3 in Madison Square
Garden.
"We1l know more about Cas-
sius after the Jones fight"
Dundee said. He'll win, but we
want to see how he wins"
Whats the hurry?" Dundee
added. 1--WE don't want to rush
Cassius. He looks better with
every fight. We are going to
bring him along slowly, like
Rocky Marciano. When we
think the time is right. we'll
fight Liston."

played under Harris during one of his
three previous visitations to Washington.
selkirk has said that he wished he
also had played for Bucky I'VE Just
missed" he once told u.s. Harris won the
works for the Yankees in 1947 but I was
gone by that time. But I've got ears. I
hear what ball players say, and have yet
to hear a pro knock Bucky."
FAIRLY EARLY LAST SEASON, when
Harris was filling pretty much the same
job for the White Sox as he now will per-
form for the Senators, he was sitting in
the press box at the Stadium, meticulously
sitting IN his mind the merits and dement's
Of players involved in a Washington
Kansas City game.
Mickey may not be long for the man
ayers job" a friend told him.
I'm sorry to hear It," Bucky said.
did you notice that Eddie Yost was
placed on the inactive list by the Los An
geles Angels and that he's to be sort Of
a coach'?" the other asked Maybe Yost
will be the Senators next managerP"
Bucky shifted his glance from the
field. Il don't envy any rookie manager
these days." he said in his cold, quiet
voice. vernon, Yost, anybody you name.
You've got 20 teams. now interleague
trading kids and old guys who weigh
you down {. not enough quality to go
around"
THERE WAS, IF NOTHING ELSE, a
persistent quality about Harris companion.
You won a pennant in your first
year." he said, accusingly. Bucky, who was
27 years old in 1924, played and managed
Washington's to its first pennant and only
World Series victory. CHe repeated the
pennant in '25).
what about Joe Cronin?" persisted
the other "only 20 years old, and he
won in '33. Is the difference the 20 teams,
instead Of is; nobody TO fully man the
clubs; inter-league trading2 Is that why
you suggest the cards are stacked against
rookie managers2"
TITS combination Of many things"
Bucky said. Mainly, Cronin and have
been given a lot OF credit that should
have gone 10 old Mr.. Clark Griffith. It
was wonderful, carrying your problems to
him, a 240-game pitching winner in his
day, marvellous Judge of players. A sug-
gestion here :. one there and you
felt alive again."
There aren't too many front-office
heads with Clark Griffiths background
around these days The field is cluttered
with insurance, chewing gum, oil, timber,
investment and sundry tycoons.
SO It's nice 10 know that George Sell
kirk and now Bucky Harris, ct al, are
taking over, more than gradually, the
Senators Of SO and the future.
