CITIZENS INDORSE NEW BRIDGE PLAN Conduit Road Residents Drop Fight for High Level Span. Abandoning a fight waged since 1924 for a new high-level bridge to replace the present Chain Bridge, the Conduit Road Citizens’ Association last night approved a new plan calling for appropriation of $350.000 to con- struct a new super-structure on the present piers. ‘The District Commissioners, it was reported by Dr. Llewellyn Jordon of the Takoma Citizens’ Association, are ready to favor this plan and are ex- pected to ask for the appropriation in the next District budget estimates. Under this plan, Dr. Jordan told the group, a new super-structure can | be built at a slightly higher level of the present piers. The appropriation | would also insure construction of an acdequate approach from Canal road. Cantilever sidewalks would be built on the new structure, which would be wider than the present one. Dr. Jordan Cites Opposition. Dr. Jordan advised the association against further insistence for a high- | level bridge, because of the apparent opposition on Capitol Hill against the | project. He also said the Maryland State Road Commission is not inter- ested in the project and that the Vir- ginia State Highway Department has announced it would not aid in financ- ing a new high-level bridge. Jordan asserted, however, the latter group will | improve the Virginia approach under | the new proposal. Capt. Ellis R. King, president, made | & vigorous attack on the Capital “Transit Co. “for ignoring the demands | of the citizens of this area for an im- proved street car service” He de- clared he has had to wait as long as | two hours for a car. The association voted to send a letter to the Public Utilities Commission and the House and Senate District Committees de- manding immediate remedial meas- ures. Short Ton Opposed. On recommendation of Mrs. John Boyle, jr.. chairman of the Consumers’ Council, the group voted to oppose any move to change the method of selling coal in the District from the long ton to the short ton. J. P. Cochran was to represent the association at a hear- ing today. The association heard William A. | Mayo, president of the Southeast Cit- | izens Associgtion, and Orrin J. Dav: secretary, who described the Sout east civic improvement campaign. The following were appointed as| members of the Nominating Commit- tee to report for the annual election in May: Edward D. Spedden, chair- man: J. F. Hessenauer, E. Craig Helm, W. R. Lynn and K. H. Logan. CAFE LOSES BLUE EAGLE Charged With ‘Wage Provision Breach.

By the Assoclated Press. The Department of Justice hopes to expand its system of Federal jalls with 2 $4,000,000 slice of the $4,000,000,000 public works fund. Attorney General Cummings said | this tentative program, which must \ first receive White House approval, would be in step with the swing away | from detention of Federal prisoners in | State and local institutions. | | Jails costing from $100,000 to $425.- | 000 are planned in Kentucky, Minne- sota, Arkansas, Montana, Texas and | California. Cummings refused to dis- | closed exact sites, but in Minnesota | the Federal Government now owns a jail tract at Sandstone. The Attorney General said the de- | partment also is asking dwellings and storage space with these jails. An- other project listed is a $130,000 “strong detention building” at Spring- | field, Mo, which Cummings said “would assure safe custody of the | more violent type of prisoner or psy- chopathic cases.” Another project, which Cummings termed in “the future,” is purchase of all of McNeill Island, Wash. The Government now owns one-half the | | island and uses it for a Federal prison. | “We could take over the entire is- | land and use part of the 2,200 acres for outdoor life for prisoners who!| might be self-supporting.” he said. | Cummings again mentioned the Leavenworth, Kans, annex prison, which formerly was used by the| | Army. He said the War Department | | asserts “it needs it; and we need it.” | “If they take it away from us, I don't know what we'll do with Ihe‘ prisoners,” he said. The latest figures on Federal prlmn‘ population show 14,752 in custody, an | increase of 3,476 over last year. - KAUFMAN PAID HONOR | | | Clothing Stores’ Founder Guest at Staff Workers’ Banquet. D.
