PLANNING ANOTHER ROAD
INTO PENNSYLVANIA
Third Highway Into Somerset
County to be Built

Plans for the construction of a
third hard-surfaced road leading
northward from the National High
way into Somerset county, Pennsylva-
MIA within a comparatively short dis
lance of each other are being made,
according to Chairman G. Clinton
Uhl, of the Maryland State Roads
Commission, who has advised Con-
gresham S. A. Kendall of Pennsylva-
MIA, that such plans are being con-
sidered and are we'll on the way to-
ward completion. The road will be-
gin at the Mason and Dixon Line, a
short distance south of Pocahontas,
Pa, and passing through the village
of Finzel, Garrett county, will connect
with the National Highway at point
Immediately west of Savage River.
The new route, it is said will avoid
the mountains on the National High
way between Grantsville and Frost
burg and will shorten the distance
between Meyersdale and Cumberland
about ten miles.
Congressman Kendall, in urging Mr..
Uhl to take action on the project re-
cited that engineers of the State
Roads Commission surveyed the route
about two years ago. Mr.. Uhl ad-
vised Congressman Kendall that the
road would be built this year and that
bids will be advertised within the next
six weeks.

county and by our public officials in
whatever manner they through their

best, and to the best interest of the
people of Garrett county.

THREE in RACE FOR U. S.
SENATE ON G. or. TICKET
State Senator Wallace Williams
of Cecil County, Becomes Third
Entry in Maryland Contest
SEEK SEN. TYDINGs' SEAT

Apparently holding the backing of
some of the strongest leaders in the
party, State Senator Wallace Williams
of Cecil county, has become the third
entry in the race for the Republican
senatorial nomination, and precipi-
tated what may be a three-way pri-
mary fight.
Senator Williams, past comman-
der of the State American Legion,
filed his certificate of candidacy in the
office of the Secretary of State at An
napolis last Thursday, just before the
deadline halted any other aspirants.
Williams entry added to those of
former Representative Linwood l..
Clark Of Baltimore county, and Harry
T. Phoebus, Somerset county Repub-
lican leader and business man. Clark
was the first to enter the race and
Phoebus filed his certificate on Tues
day of last week.
Tydings Nomination Assured
Closing of the lists not only halted
any further entries on the Republican
side, but assured the denomination of
Senator Willard E. Tydings on the
Democratic ticket by default. No other
name has been entered to contest for
the Democratic nomination.
The Cecil countian's entry Thursday
followed conferences with party lead
ers throughout the state and in Balti-
more City, and it was these which led
to the belief that he might be given
organization backing for the nomina-
ton over Clark and Phoebus.
All three of the Republican aspi-
rants for Tydings' seat are known as
drys, and the nomination of any one
of them will afford clean cut wet-dry
fight in the November election unless
the nominee changes his stand, as the
Democratic incumbent is an out and
out wet.
Clark always has been dry, and
Phoebus, so far in his public career,
has taken the arid side whenever it
was brought to an issue.
Williams An AvOwed Dry
Williams is an avowed dry, and at
the last national convention of the
American Legion was the only one of
the IS Maryland delegates to vote
against the prohibition resolution.
Williams is the son of the late
Frank T. Williams, long Republican
leader of Cecil county, and for many
years its representative in the State
Senate. He was a member of the
First Maryland Infantry when the
United States entered the World War
and was commissioned a lieutenant
and went overseas.
Later he was elevated to cap
taincy and placed in charge of a ma
chine gun company, which took part in
the engagements at Alsage and later
at st. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne
drives. He was cited twice for his
part IN these engagements.
On his return, Williams formed the
Elkton Post of the State Legion and
twice was elected commander, and
later commanded the state depart
ment of the Legion.
