noon Officer J. r.. Merryman OF me
MARYLAND State police at Laurel esrl-
mated that District automobiles were
passing a given point at about 50 an
hour He reported the traffic was gel
ting heavier as the minutes went pF
and inasmuch as week ago TO-DAY
he had not seen such congestion the
logical conclusion was that the cars
were headed for Philadelphia, and VINO
would go 10 Philadelphia today except
10 see the battle?
For the past three days. includinE

Association received more than o"0
telephone calls inQuiring for the pest
route TO PHILADELPHIA. Based Oh
the number of these questions, asso-
station officials felt safe in estimating
that more than ! 900 District auto

owingo road. this thoroughfare was
recommended only to those VINO
wished to avoid the possibilities oi
