K.’s Proposed Statute After Changing Its Text. BY JOHN T. LIPSCOMB. Staff Correspondent of The Star. - CLARENDON, Va., February 25.— Proposed creation of a new court for Arlington County yesterday was ap- proved by the Bar Association in special meeting here, but not, however, until the bill, now before the Virginia Legis- lature, had been attacked by its origi- nal construction and several suggested amendments agreed on. Opponents of the bill made two fu- tile attempts to keep the association from taking action of any kind at this time. A motion by Lawrence Douglas to table consideration of the measure failed as did a motion of Bryant Gor- don to postpone consideration until today to give the members an opportu- nity carefully to study its provisions. Delegate Hugh Reid, father of the bill, was roundly scored by Douglas for not taking the Bar Association into his confidence during its drafting or at least before its presentation. It was charged that Reid delayed presentation of the bill until the last minute so that the Ppeople-would not have an opportunity to learn anything about it. “The people are not only entitled to know all about a matter of so much importance, but they should be allowed 'b‘;fxprfissutlhe{r lpn:lvll 0’: disapproval fore legislative action ested,” Douglas declared. s Douglas also made an attempt to have the bill include a provision that it be referred to the people for ratification })elrlo? it becomes effective. This, too, ailed. Several members declared they knew nothing of the bill until informed by an article in The Star of its introduction in the House by Delegate Reid.

BRIDGE IS URGED AT GREAT FALLS Citizens’ Representatives| Confer With Maryland and Virginia Senators. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Displaying a united front in favor of prompt provision for a bridge across the Potomac River at Great Falls, repre- sentatives of the Montgomery County Civic Federation and of the interfeder: tion conference, the latter composed of representatives of the civic bodies of the | metropolitan districts of Maryland and | Virginia adjacent to the Capital City, appeared before the Senators of the two States yesterday. The conference was participated in by Senators Glass and Swanson of Virginia and Senators Tydings and Goldsborough of Maryland and a special committee of the Montgomery citizens body. It was held in the Serate District of Columbia committee room at the Capitol. O. M. Kile,’ chairman of the Mont- gomery federation’s special committee on the bridge provision, said that it de- veloped at the conference that the amendment of Senator Glass, providing for the construction of a free bridge, would receive the indorsement of the District committee and would pass the Senate. The bill, as it passed the House, carries an amendment prohibiting the construction of a toll bridge there, al- though Congress has chartered a com- pany to carry out such a project. Mr. Kile said that Senator Glass informed the committee that he anticipated a favorable report on his bridge amend- ment to the Cramton park extension bill and that it had been favorably re- ceived by those members of the Upper House with whom he had discussed it. He said that the other three Senators confirmed this view. ‘Walter B. Armstrong, who is a mem- ber of the Montgomery federation's spe- cigl committee, also told of the stand of the Interfederation Conference on the matter, pointing out that the Dis- trict of Columbia Federation and the Arlington County Federation were strongly behind the bridge provision. E. Brooke Lee, Speaker of the Mary- land House of Delegates, told the Sen- ators the progress that is being made in conferences with Representative Cramton in adjusting the questions of title, financing and administration as involved in the proposed co-operation between the Maryland and Federal Governments in carrying out the park development projects. It was indicated that the citizens’ group would give every aid possible in bringing about the construction of & bridge and that they were unwilling to wait until the land is acquired for the memorial park in Potomac River. They are wholeheartedly for a toll bridge, if Congress can be prevailed upon to au- thorize the appropriations now, so that construction can begin. But if there is not to be a publicly constructed bridge then the citizens want the prohibition against such a toll bridge as it is in the House bill removed. The bridge committee of the federa- tion is_composed of O. M. Kile, chair- man; Walter B. Armstrong, Ward W. Caddington, C. A. Korbley, E. Brooke Lee and John J. Miller.
