ANNAPOLIS, February 11.-Imme-
diate modernization of the Baltimore
Washington. Annapolis Washington
and Frederick Rockville roads through
return of gasoline tax revenues now
being diverted for general budget pur-
poses was recommended to Gov. Harry
w. Nice and the Legislature today in
report of the State Highway Advisory
Committee.
The three highways listed in the
vicinity of Washington were among
eight major thoroughfares in various
sections of Maryland, which the COM
naittee described as being in a de
. plorable condition" and in need of i'm
provements at once.
I'm addition to the highways listed
above, total approximately l2O miles"
the report said, there are other roads
In the primary system, radiating from
the larger cities of Maryland and the
District of Columbia, that are of i'm
portance, from the standpoint of traffic
and need of improvement, and which
should be modernized if funds are
mace available"
The report, brief, concise docu-
ment, fatty rejected proposals to
finance longtime roads construc-
ton program through bond issues
and declared the needed improve
mentS could be made out of current
income if diversion is halted.
1t was pointed out by the commit
tee. which was headed by William P.
Walker, University of Maryland econ
omist, that If the present diversion
of gas tax proceeds, amounting to ST.
100000 for the next two years, is
halted, 100000 would be available
for road construction and improve
ment during that period.
Walker and his aides also called
attention to the possibility of the
State losing its Federal aid through
diversion, because of provisions IN the
national road aid laws which prohibit
use of motor vehicle revenues for
purposes other than roads.
The committee made no definite
recommendations regarding the type
Of improvement to be carried out on
the roads near Washington and in
other sections of the State.

Administration Believes National
Debt Reaches Peak-Ml Level Off

WASHINGTON, June Is. -
Administration officials believed
last night that the national debt
had reached it's ultimate peak at
$36,633, 907,S02 and that hence
forth it would begin dwelling off.
The al-time high on June Is
was equivalent to an indebtedness
of $2S3.4l for every man, woman
and child in the country as COM
pared to the war time peak of
S250.18 and the pre-war figure of
only $12.36.
Attainment of the $685.
9O7,S02 level represented an
overnight increase of 1882, 033,-
220. This was due to the $751;
100000 treasury financing pro-
gram completed on June Is and
to the setting up of $500, 100000
in special government obligations
to the credit of the government
life insurance fund.
Under the veterans bonus act,
the treasury was obligated to pay
over to the insurance fund
amount equal to loans made to
veterans on their adjusted service

A budget for the operation of
the social security act in Hender-
son county has been prepared and
approved by the board of wei
fare and the board of county com
miSSiOncrS, and will not be- sub
mittcd to the state board for APP

As prepared, the budget calls
for a tax rate of approximately 8
cents per hundred dollar valua-
ton for the county's portion of

MATCH POWERS.
GUN -FOR Gun
Naval Bids StartIe OFF,
cials; May Build All
of Own Ships
TO MOUNT l6-INCH
GUNS ON NEW CRAFT

WASHINGTON, June Is. -
(UP)-Thc United States govern
mcnt last night prepared to match
gun-for-gun in its Second to
none" navy with those on for
eign battleShipS rs dispatches
from abroad indicated that Japan
had rejected Il move by President
Roosevelt to reduce the size Of
sea ornaments of the great pow
crS.
The chief executive. it was un-
dcrStood, aSckd all chief naval
powers whether they were willing
to limit the size of battleship guns
to IL inches. His action was
prompted by the fact that this
government is preparing to con-
struct two new $4,000 ton war
ships and u decision must be
made soon on whether the ships
will carry II or lG-inch guns.
As the presidents action be-
came known, Secretary of Navy
Claude \. Swanson opened bids
of the two new warShips with the
tcrSe warning that this country
lis lOathc 20 begin rivalry with
other powers in the mounting OF
l6-inCh gurS on its new craft.
The new battleshipS are to re-
place ovre-age vessels. The |. S.
navy now has Is battleshipS and
seven, including the two which the
ne wvesselS will replace, now are
average. The lowest bid opened
was for $55,S75,S2l, submitted
by the New York Shipbuilding
corporation, Camden, n. j.
Later in the day, Swanson an
nounced that the Philadelphia
navy yard submitted bid for
$36,56O,3OO and the New York
yard had bid $37,265, Sl3 for the
second battleShip.
The amount of the bids startled
naval officials and brought from
them private hints that the navy'S
custom of building one ship in a
private yard and one in navy
yard may be changed and that
both may be constructed in navy
yards.
Authorities pointed out that in
addition to the cost of construct
ing the ships, an additional $780,
100000 would be needed to equip
them with guns and armor plate.
This expenditure would shoot the
cost of each ship to $S0,O0O,OOO.
The $S0,000,000 figure exceeded
by $2O,OO0,000 what the govern
ment had estimated each new
ship would cost.
Plans for the new battleshipS
have been drawn carefully. They
are the last word in modern de-
vclopment. Officials said last
night the guns could be fired &C
curately while the ships are cruiS-
ing at Il speed of 26 l-2 knots.
