Expressway Is in Path
Os Proposed Subway
By JAMES G. DEANE
Star Staff Writer
The District is building an
expressway in the path sug
gested by planners for one of
the city’s proposed subway lines.
The expressway a three-lane
depressed highway through the
Mall under Twelfth street
N.W., was started last Novem
ber. The proposed subway line
is part of a $6OO million rapid
transit rail plan now under
study in Congress.
City officials said yesterday
a subway still could be built
along the general route, al
though it probably would cost
more. The tracks would have
to skirt the below-ground ve
hicular roadway or tunnel
under it.
Plans Made
A joint Senate-House com
mittee is considering legisla
tion to create an agency to
develop a subway network.
Plans submitted to the White
House and Congress last year
call for four rapid transit
lines connecting with the sub
urbs. The Twelth street line
would connect with the Penta
gon at one end and Silver
Spring at the other.
If Congress acts promptly,
firm plans for starting con
struction on the transit sys
tem will begin this fall and
construction could start with
in the next three years.
City offiicals said the $4 mil
lion road project, which is to
tie in with a new freeway net
work in the Southwest, was al
ready on blueprints before sub- ,
mission of the transit pro
posals. They also indicated
the subway proposal so far is ,
only tentative and that routes
have not been firmly fixed.
Called Urgent
Planners said the possible i
route conflict, however, points ,
up the urgency of getting the <
rapid transit plans under way. i
Other routes may be blocked I
with new highway and other
construction projects, they said.
William E. Finley, director
of the National Capital Plan
ning Commission, minimized
the conflict between the Twelfth
street freeway and the proposed

i subway. But he called the need
[for the proposed new transit
p agency urgent.
Planning commission and
• city officials are at odds over
• proposals for new transporta
-1 tion links in the northern part
’ of the city. The planners want
a freeway in the Wisconsin
avenue area, while the District
Highway Department favors one
east of Rock Creek Park. Rail
lines are proposed in both cor
ridors.
Planners have proposed pro
viding right of way for tracks
in the median strips of future
highways. But so far city high
way plans have made no pro
vision for rails in either corri
dor or elsewhere.
The new transit agency, un
der legislation sponsored by the
Bureau of the Budget, now be-
I fore the joint committee, would
not have any specific control
over highway planning. But
planners said the agency, work
ing in collaboration with road
builders, should make an ef
fort to see that transit needs
are taken into account.
In addition, numerous other
future development plans hinge
on close co-ordination between
(highway and transit planning,
planners said.
Cites Needs
Robert Keith, staff member
,of the planning commission
who helped draft the mass
transportation proposals, warn
ed that planning bodies can
not proceed properly in guiding
future growth of the area with
out knowing the form of future
mass transportation.
Pending questions include fu
ture use of the Anacostia and
Bolling air fields, new housing
for the scattered Defense De
partment employes and other
Government workers, the Gov
ernment’s plans for parking fa
cilities. improvement of the
downtown business area, urban
renewal projects and suburban
land-use proposals.
The joint committee tomor
row is expected to review staff
recommendations with a view
toward early recommendation
to the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees on a bill to set
up the new transit agency.

voters a chance to support the
national convention nominee.
The State convention never
has reconvened after adjourn
-1 ing subject to recall. Repub
t licans carried Virginia for
President Eisenhower in 1952
i and 1956.
r Signs of Friction
Signs of friction were manl
t fested on the convention floor
j after word leaked out of the
t Resolutions Committee's 22-8
, division on the two key pro
] posals, which were among 10
. measures reported.
The first two, dealing with
. Virginia’s position on public
. school integration and a state
, ment of policy upholding Jeff
. ersonian democracy were adop.
. ted without opposition.
But subsequent measures
criticizing pasage by Congress
• of the civil rights bill and de
i nanding a restoration of States’
rights drew increasing vol-
I umes of “no” votes.
I
Segregation Backed
' One of the approved meas
-1 ures asserts. "This convention
expresses unalterable opposi
-1 tion to the enforced mixing of
the white and Negro races in
our public schools.”
It also declares, “No govern
ment can ride roughshod over
the mores, customs and tradi
tions of a great people nor
dissolve, for purposes of polit
ical expediency, their inalien
able right to have a voice in
the education of their children;
their right to associate or not
to associate or their right of
self-determination with due
regard for the rights of others.”
In the resolution on civil
rights, the convention said the
filibuster staged by Southern
Senators resulted in “many of
the most insulting provisions of
the bill’’ being eliminated.
On State's rights the con
vention said. “We demand a
revival of the spirit of local
self-government without which
free institutions cannot be
'preserved.”
The unsuccessful move to
send an uninstructed delegation
came on a substitute motion by
William N. Neff of Abingdon, in
the 9th District.
“It is a mistake to send dele
gates to the National* Conven
tion with their hands tied,”
Mr. Neff said. “No one knows
what will happen between now
and then or if he (Senator
Johnson) will even be a can
didate.”
Representative Jennings of
the 9th District said the in
structed delegation would be
“for an unannounced candi
date.”
“Send a Postcard”
Expressing great personal ad
miration for Senator Johnson
and pledging to support him
actively if nominated. Mr. Jen
nings posed this hypothetical
question:
“How do we know he will
not have committed himself to
things so alien and foreign that
it would be impossible to sup
port him?”
Mr. Jennings, who cam
paigned at this convention in
behalf of Senator Symington,
asked, “Why don’t we just send
a postal card” if the delegation
goes instructed for one man.
Representative Harrison of
the 7th District, said, however,
"the time has come when we
must make a choice. Are'we so
craven as to go to Los Angeles
saying we don’t know what we
want?”
An unsuccessful attempt to
bring about final adjournment
of the convention without the
possibility of reconvening to
indorse someone other than
the national party candidate
was made by Alexandria State
Senator Armistead L. Boothe.
It was voted down by the voice
vote.
Smith Warns on Bolt
Signs of an Internal struggle
today developed at the outset
as Representative Smith, dean
of Virginia’s congressional dele
gation, warned the convention
to avoid a bolt to the Republi
can Party. In 1952 and 1956
President Eisenhower carried
Virginia.
"Certainly the national Re
publican Party offers no haven
of refuge for unhappy Demo
crats,” he told about 2,700
delegates and alternates who

RUTLAND, Vt., May 21

day pledged their eight Na
tional Convention votes to
Senator Kennedy of Massa
. chusetts. It was the first time
, in State history a delegation
' had been pledged to support
an individual for the presiden
’ tial nomination.

leased by him.

Man, 22, Bitten
By Tiger Snake
Fights for Life
LOS ANGELES. May 21
(AP).—“Fairly good improve
ment” was reported today in
the condition of Kenneth
Earnest. 22, bitten last Tuesday
by an Australian tiger snake,
described by an authority as
the world’s deadliest.
However. Mr. Earnest, under
treatment in an iron lung at
General Hospital, w’as still on
the critical list.
“We figure if he gets by until
Monday morning his chances
i of survival will be pretty good.”
a hospital spokesman said.
Mr. Earnest was bitten on
the right palm while feeding
the two tiger snakes among
the 3,000 reptiles at his family’s
California alligator farm in!
Buena Park, 30 miles south of;
here. The venom paralyzed his!
breathing and speech muscles.
At the San Diego zoo, which
supplied tiger snake serum
used in treating Mr. Earnest,
curator Charles Shaw said.
“Drop for drop, the venom
from this snake is the deadliest
in the world. It’s more poison
i ous than the cobra, the rattle
snake or the bushmaster.”
packed this resort’s aluminum
domed convention center.
While Mr. Smith got a
standing ovation at the begin
ning and end of his half-hour
keynote speech, that remark
was the only part of his talk
to be interrupted by applause.
Cites Civil Rights Issue
“It was the Republican civil
rights bill, written and master
minded by the Republican At
torney General, that was finally
passed and signed by the Re
publican President.” Mr. Smith
added.
After striking at what he
called Federal encroachments
on State’s rights, national
leadership in both political
parties, expenses of Govern
ment and foreign aid, Mr
Smith declared:
"We can at least voice to
our friends and fellow Demo
crats who will assemble and
assume to speak for the Demo
cratic Party, our hopes, cur
desires and our pleas for a
moderate and sympathetic con
sideration of the hopes and
aspirations of ~. loyal and con
servative Democrats through
out the Nation. . .
Senator Byrd, the leader of
the State Democratic organiza
tion, introduced Mr. Smith as
“the greatest Virginian of our
generation.”

Oregon Boosts
Kennedy Stock
As Nominee
PORTLAND, Oreg., May 21
(AP). Senator Kennedy ol
Massachusetts stood today on
the top rung of the Democratic
presidential primary ladders
He swept aside favorite son
Senator Morse 8 to 5 in Ore
gon’s primary election yester
day.
It was his seventh straight
primary victory. He promptlj
looked to the Democratic nom
inating convention and beyond
to the fall campaign, confident
he was the people's choice.
“There is no chance now . .
to stop him.” exulted Repre
sentative Edith Green, his Ore
gon chairman. Senator Kennedy
said he too thought he’d win
“and when nominated will beat
Mr. Nixon.”
Oregon gave him IT conven
tion votes. He still must add
443‘/a to the 317>/ 2 he now holds
before the presidential nomina
tion is surely his.
Senator Kennedy went in
front of Senator Morse, his No.
1 opponent here, in the very
first counting of ballots and
quickly had a decisive, growing
margin.
Far, far back—they did not
campaign were Senators
Johnson of Texas and Syming
ton of Missouri. They stand as
chief rivals to Senator Kennedy
at the Democratic convention
I in July.
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota. who quit after Senator
Kennedy beat him in West
Virginia, remained on the
Oregon ballot and outdrew both
Senators Johnson and Syming
ton. Adlai Stevenson drew some
write-ins. With 2.447 of 2.883
precincts reporting, it was Ken
nedy 114.217, Morse 72,631.
Humphrfey 14,742, Symington
10,533, Johnson 9,491 and Stev
enson (write-ins) 2,776.
It was the first time all lead
ing contenders for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination
were on the same ballot, put
there by Oregon’s unique law
that enters all serious contend
ers.
Senator Morse, who entered
by petition, wired congratula
tions to Senator Kennedy and
said in a statement “I shall of
course discontinue any further
effort in other States.”
It was the first time Senator
Morse ever lost an Oregon
election. He was getting 32 per
cent of the vote to Senator
Kennedy’s 51 per cent. Sen
ator Kennedy was convincing
with the theme that Senator
Morse was not a serious con
tender and a vote for him was
wasted, in however high regard
Oregon voters held him as a
Senator.
The religious issue—Senator
Kennedy is a Roman Catholic
—seemed laid to rest in Protes
tant West Virginia, and Protes
tant Oregon confirmed the
judgment. Catholics number
about 12 per cent of the popu
lation.
Vice President Nixon rolled
up a strong vote in the uncon
tested Republican primary. He
outdrew Senator Kennedy but
not the combined Democratic
field in this State where Demo-
I crats outnumber Republicans.
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
I York got a sprinkling of Re
publican write ins.
With 2,628 of 2,883 precincts
in, Mr. Nixon’s vote stood at
168,126. There were 2,210 write
ins for Gov. Rockefeller.
Mr Nixon thus added 18 con
vention votes for a total of 535.
Nomination requires 666.
In the contest for United
States Senator, the widow of
Oregon’s Democratic Senator
Neuberger won nomination to
succeed him, running up a mas
sive total. Former Gov. Elmo
Smith similarly dominated the
Republican race, only a little
behind Mrs. Neuberger in com
parative totals.
All congressmen had an easy
time of it. Only Mrs. Green
was opposed and she walloped
her opponent, 7 to 1.

Dr. Johnson said he had

Bogus Colonel
Tries Out Auto
And Disappears
A man who identified him
self as a “Pentagon Army col

along with the tar he took to
try out from a prospective
seller.
i According to Detective
Charles L. Langley of the sev
enth precinct, this is what
brought the “colonel” to the
attention of police:
John W. McAvoy of 2655
Forty-first N.W. advertised his
1959 automobile for sale last
Thursday. The man answered
the ad and asked permission
to drive the car and show it to
his wife.
The “colonel” went into a
jewelry store in the 1400 block
of Wisconsin avenue N.W. and.
using Mr. McAvoy's driver’s
license, which was in the glove
compartment, identified him
self as Mr. McAvoy and wrote
a check for $BOO for jewelry.
Returning to the car, parked
outside, he discovered a park
ing ticket. He went back into
the store and reported it to
the jeweler. The latter said he
was sorry and offered to take
care of it.
After his customer left, the
jeweler noticed the ticket was
not completely filled out. He

As Rescue Fails
CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 21

( screaming into a household in
cinerator late today and was
burned to death as two women
and two boys struggled to pull
her to safety.
The victim was Trudy Mc-
Caslin, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Harold McCaslin.
Deputy Coroner Harold
Smith said Truay and a friend,
i Donald Jay. 5, were playing in
i the back yard of a home about
two blocks from the McCaslin
J residence. He said the girl was
jumping from the top of one
incinerator to the other when
her weight apparently broke
the top of one incinerator and
she plunged into a smoulder

Bessie Myers, who was joined
by Mrs. Carl Webster.
Another boy, Rex Forrester,
joined the frantic women.
The four attempted first to
pull Judy free, then tried to
vain to open the cover on the
ash pit to extinguish the
flames.
