One of the donors of the Glo ver-Archbold Parkway has re tained attorneys to prevent the District from building an ex press highway through the park. Mrs. Anne Archbold, who with Charles C. Glover donated a major portion of the park to the city, has instruced Attorneys Hugh Obear and Grant Wiprud to fight the plan. The attorneys appeared before the Committee of One Hundred on the Federal City yesterday to begin the fight. | Mrs. Archbold, in a letter to the group, said the land was given to the District in 1924 for park purposes and “for no j other.” Sees Breach of Faith. Mr. Wiprud said Mrs. Arch | bold considered the plan to build an express highway through the narrow park a breach of faith. He said she would have no ob jections to a meandering road through the park similar to the roads through Rock Creek Park, however. The Committee of One Hun dred, headed by C. Melvin Sharpe, listened to discussion of the controversy then adopted a resolution condemning the plan to construct the highway. It also suggested that Foxhall road be widened to help handle traffic in that area. The park way lies between Foxhall road and Wisconsin avenue. The District's highway plan calls for construction of a high way to be known as Arizona ave nue Parkway through the park. The tract is a narrow valley through which Foundry Branch flows. Pact Signed in 1948. John Nolen, jr., planning di rector for the National Capital Planning Commission, said the Arizona Parkway has been on paper for many years. In 1948, the District and the National Park Service signed an agree ment calling for construction of the road. This agreement followed pas sage of a bill by Congress author izing construction of the road and the naming of it after Ari zona. Mrs. Archbold and Charles C. Glover, jr., both protested the move at the time. Mr. Wiprud said Mrs. Arch bold intended to resume fighting the plan. She feels that such a highway would destroy the park. Her letter said she felt con struction of the highway would constitute misuse of the prop erty and entitle her to ‘‘the aid | of the courts in restoring the property to its proper use.” Bridge Also Planned. The District wants the high way built as a connection be tween far Northwest Washing ton and Key Bridge. Another complication In the problem is that the Planning Commission is thinking about a new bridge across the Potomac River to be constructed at a point where Arizona Parkway would be the main tie-in with Northwest Washington. Concerning the location of the proposed bridge. Commissioner Samuel Spencer said the Com- \ missioners planned to consider j it soon. The Planning Commis- I sion has not approved the E l street location advocated by the ' District Highway Department. Mr. Spencer was a guest at j the meeting of the Committee ' of One Hundred yesterday. Appreciation of Aid During Flood Voiced By Dutch Chaplain Appreciation of American aid to Holland during the flood dis ! aster in February of this year was voiced yesterday by a Dutch chaplain visiting here. ‘‘We are told many times and many things about your six point program of chaplaincy.” Chaplain R. H. M. Verhoeven, said in the office of the Air Force Chief of Chaplains Charles I. Carpenter yesterday. ‘‘One of them is the humani ; tarian service. The practice of [ that point is clearly shown, es ! pecially to us in the Nether lands. on the occasion of the j terrible flood disaster over a i great part of our country. On your initiative, the chaplaincy of the Air Force has organized and collected money for the flood victims. The generous re sult of that collecting was $26,000.” Chaplain Verhoeven and an other Dutch chaplain, H. G. Y. Van Straelen, are among 17 for eign Chiefs of Chaplains from overseas and two more from Canada visiting the United States. They have been guests of the Air Force chaplaincy and have visited bases at Sampson, N. Y.; Langley, Va.; Eglin, Fla., and Keesler, Miss. \ They arrived here last week and will leave for home on Wednesday. The chiefs of chap lains are from Denmark, Nor way, Holland, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy, England and Canada. As a mark of appreciation for the hospitality shown them, the Dutch chaplains presented Air Force Chief of Chaplains Car penter with two dolls, dressed in the native costume of the Neth erlands. The Protestant chaplains at tended a dinner in the Hotel Statler last night as guests of the Protestant General Commission on Chaplains. The Catholic chaplains were guests of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John K. Cartwright, rector of St. Matthew's Catholic Cathedral, at the Cathedral rec tory.
