Kennedy Decision
Awaited on Bridge
D. c. Accepts
New Site for
3 Sisters Span
By LEE FLOR
Star staff Writer

The next round in the battle
Of the bridges over the Poto-
mac should be over a response
from President Kennedy, off,
Gals said today.
Last May q. President Ken
nedy said he was postponing
construction of the Three Sis
tiers Island bridge and the Po-
tomac River Freeway, pending
a re-examination of the District
Highway program and the
North Leg freeway. In a letter
in June, he directed the Dis
trict Commissioners to estab-
lish an arbitration committee
of top Federal officials to study
the bridge proposals.
Yesterday the White House
announced that President Ken
nedy had received a letter from
the District Commissioners.
The letter announced that the
Commissioners were indorsing
the arbitration committees
proposal to move the bridge
Just south Of Key Bridge. and
tunnel the north leg freeway as
much as possible.
Next Step Studied
Since the denomination
W as established by President
Kennedy. some response has to
be made by him to permit the
District to proceed.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Charles M. Duke today
said obviously we can't do a
thing until we hear from the
President"
But the District is taking ad-
vantage Of this quiet period in
the dispute by studying its next
step. Brig. Gen. Duke said he
could not comment on what
would come next until he re-
ceived some response.
However. from the language
OF the letter to President Ken
nedy, it is apparent that an en-
gineering consultant will have
to be hired.
The consultant will have to
make detailed engineering stud
les within the general guide
lines laid down by the arbitra-
ton committee and Endorsed by
the Commissioners. Then the
arbitration committee will re-
view the alternatives, make fl
nal recommendations to the
Commissioners, who then will
make the decisions over details
Of the bridge and freeway.
Factor in Delays
However. officials stressed
that the basic decision, wheth-
er to bridge or not to bridge,
has been settled at the District
level. The National Capital
Transportation Agency last No.
vember said the bridge would
not be needed If / is transit sys-
TEN was completed, and the
presidential position thereafter
was one of neutrality and re-
view for a final decision.
Reaction from Congress to-
day indicated that the COM
promise might help clear the
way for pending legislation to
authorize a $500 million rail
transit system.
Representative Whitener,
Democrat of North Carolina
and chairman of a House Dis
trict Subcommittee reviewing
the transit legislation. said
congressional concern over the
highway delays has certainly
been a factor in holding up the
legislation"

The French attache, carrying
a proper diplomatic type black
umbrella in his left hand. was
standing on Pier 4 at the Navy
Yard yesterday waiting for the
first French warship to visit
Washington in many years. The
rain bounced off his black
homberg in a steady drizzle.
Nearby stood the Navy
Yards boarding officer carry
ing a shiny sword from his left
hip as the 420-foot Dupetit-
Thouars made her way up the
Potomac with her crew of 800

GANGWAY TROUBLE
French DESTROYER
Sides Up to Piers

err. Some l6 sailors struggled
to push the platform up to the
ships hull. A few of the planks
came apart and a sailor rushed
up with a hammer and nails to
put the thing together again.
Now the problem of getting
from the ship to the high plat
form via a long gangway
The Is sailors heave- hoed the
gangway to their shoulders and
stumbled up the 10 platform
steps. 1t was pure Anne ricar
know-how. Something likt
docking at Toms Cove.
The sleek destroyer. the first
NATO ship TO carry q Tartar
surface-to-air missile weapons
system, has been out testing
the system off the coast of Flor
ida. While tied up here, Naval
technicians will check out the
system before the vessel sails
Tuesday for the French West
Indies and then to her home
port in BreSt. France. The ship
will be open to the public at
the Navy Yard, Eleventh and o
streets NV, from 1870 to 4:30
pm. Sunday and Monday.
Interesting History
The Dupetit- Thouars has an
interesting history. She traces
her name back to the battle of
Aboukir in 1893 and Napoleon's
invasion of Egypt. Capt. Aris-
tide-Aubert Dupetit- Thouars
in a battle with Nelson foresaw
the end of the battle and or
dered his ships flag nailed to
the mast. His two legs cut off,
Dupetit- Thouars refused to
surrender. His last order was to
throw his body to the sea IF
we are taken by the British. /"
According to his will. he was
thrown to the sea with his flag.
Since then the Dupetit :
Thouars family has given
France three admirals. a cap
tain and two lieutenants and
the family is still represented
in the French Navy today. This
ship is the sixth vessel to bear
that name.

Sailors Struggled

The guided missile destroyer
seemed to be coming in side
ways, but a Naval officer ex-
planned that she was maneu-
vering for a berth to tie up her
stern at the end of Pier 8 and
secure her bow to the end of
Pier 4. This is so people driv-
ing along Anacostia parkway
across the way might get a bet
ter look at her." he added.
Now the problem of getting
off. 1t seems that Piers 3 and 4
are not strong enough to hold a
crane so that the boarding
platform had to be hauled "by

THE AIRPORT is A SORT

Of neyer-never land.
AS you drive into the
parking lot there is a little
gate house. No one was in
side. But a machine by the
side Of the road suddenly
coughed up a parking ticket
automatically.
The words on the ticket
were rather strange: This
Is a license. No ballment
created. Holder may park
one automobile in this area
at his own risk of any fire,
theft, or damage to auto or
contents Of same"
The ticket thoroughly con-
fused the Rambler and he
walked into the terminal
wondering what would have
happened If bailment had
been created.
The striking thing about
Dulles, compared to most
airport terminals is the
silence. ALI sounds seemed
muffled.
Under the swooping roof
there may have been about
10 people. The book shop
was empty. SO was a drug
store and clothing store.
No one was travelling any
where. There wasn't an
airplane in sight.
The only activity was out
on the runways. Three snow
plows we're going round and
round, the drivers appar-
emily practicing for the days
ahead. Or, the boredom at
Dulles had proved too hard
to take and the men found
they just had to do some
thing.
An attractive girl sat by
herself in one of the black
leather chairs in the attrac-
tive lounge and looked blank
ly out towards Chantilly.
THE RAMBLER WAS dis
appointed. The restaurant
was closed. There was no ex-
PLANTATION. No sign said when
it might open.
Instead, he found another
restaurant, down a long
flight of stairs. 1t was prac-
tically empty-maybe 20 or
so people eating lunch.
The waitress seemed happy
to serve someone.
After lunch, the Rambler
walked around the terminal
again. There were a few
more people and a plane &C
tually landed.
Out on the observation
deck, the Rambler waited for
about Is minutes to see if
anybody else might turn up.
He renamed alone.
He decided 1t was time he
returned to civilization.
Today, after a year of
operation, Dulles appears to
be a delightful white ele-
plant sitting out in the
middle of open country.
1t is a fine place to have
lunch or read a book or just
sit around and contemplate.
There's nobody around to
bother you.
