MAROON DRIBBLERS WIN TWO
LOSE ONE

After winning the first two games
scheduled last week the West Not
tingham Quintet was forced to play
the strong Brown Vocational High
School team in Wilmington without
the help of it's big center, Jim
O'Brien, who had been called to
bedside of his brother in Asbury
Park, N. j. The result was that the
Trade School boys avenged the de-
feat they suffered here two weeks
ago. The score was Wilmington
Vocational So, West Nottingham IA.
Earlier in the week, the Maroon,
still intact, had met and conquered
Delaware City High School in the
Field House, 45-15, and repeated
against the Elkton High School
Alumni, 1929.
No games are scheduled at home
now until March 8. Next week the
Colora basketers invade the strong
holds of Audubon, N. j., High
School and the apparently invinci-
BILE Dickinson College Freshmen.

Five Year Road Plan
Offered


r. A five-year highway and bridge
program, calling for the expenditure
of approximately $46,S24,OOO, was
advanced Monday by the State Roads
Commission ito restore and expand
the primary roads system.
Printed copies of the program, IN
Guiding road maps of each county
showing the traffic flow, will be sent
to Governor O'Conor and members
of the Legislature, 1t is said.
]. Glenn Beall, chairman of the
Roads Commission, said each county
map would show the outstanding
needs in highway construction which
will be required within the next five
or six years to restore and expand
the system to conditions commensur-
ate" with modern demands.
In making the program, which IN
cludes construction of new dual
highways, bridges, multiple lane
roads and viaducts, the commission
used highway data gathered by II
and the Maryland Highway Plann-
ing Survey.
mo attempts has been made to es'
tablish priority for the projects,
the chairman said, and in order tc
know where the need is the great
est, the Legislature should make ar
rangements for the resumption and
continuation of the Maryland High
way Planning Survey SO that the in
formation assembled could be pu,
in applicable form and so that the
data can be kept up to date"
The Federal Bureau of Roads, II
was pointed out, would continue tt
furnish funds for highway planning
and construction. Mr.. Beall said the
Federal agency has stressed the
need for proper fact finding II
order to systematic the expansion
and revision of the highway pro
gram" a
"The State undoubtedly will suf
fer il ways and means are MOI
found to take advantage of this op
portunity," the chairman added.

GIVEN ENDORSEMENT

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 11-Indica-
tions of general statewide approval
of Governor O'Conor's budget-bal-
ancing and taxation program have
come from two sources this week
to encourage administration officials
in the hope that the program will
60 through pretty much as present
ed.
First, it has been revealed that
the program will have full support
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, support that is bound to
have a great effect when the vari-
GUS bills come up for final passage
OF equal interest, however, are the
results of poll-by-mail, conducted
by one of the leading papers OF
the State, covering nine counties, in
which the returns, by a majority of
almost five to one, gave full ap-
proval to the acts of the O'Conor
administration up to now, as augur-
ing well for successful administra-
ton.
The three points that swung the
Federation INTO line, according to
informed observers, were (1) the
Budget Balancing program; CO.
Discontinuance of Policy Of Living
on Borrowed Monies, and CD As
surance that Diversions Of Gasoline
Tax Funds are ended. Furthermore,
it was declared, there was general
approval among the members or the
Federation of the Governors efforts
toward economy in all directions.
Farm Bureau speakers pointed
out, too. that the O'Conor tax pro-
gram, with the nat income tax levy
as its backbone, is identical In many
respects to the program suggested
by the Farm Bureau Federation
some weeks prior to the presenta-
tion OF the report of the Rawls
Committee.

ROAD PROGRAM CONTROVERSY

An administration move TO pre-
vent outbreak of a legislative con-
troversy came from the chief execu-
tive's Office at Annapolis, the first
retreat of the governor on his far
reaching reorganization program.
Reorganization of the Roads Com
mission attacked by number OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS all but with
drawn as an administration meas
ure.
'In view of the attitude expressed
by DR.. Isaiah Bowman and his
committeeman last week and his
view of some suggestions from GER
tain senators, it is possible that no
state roads reorganization bill will
be introduced"
Those were the words of Gov
ernor O'Conor that greeted legisla-
tors returning from weekend re-
cess. Importance was lent the
executives comment for depart
mental reorganization is major
part of the administration pro-
gram, and overhauling of the roads
commission was a major part of the
program.
DR.. Bowman, chairman of the re-
organization commission, told COM
mittees of both houses last week
that his group ''sat on the fence"
on the roads commission question
although they felt the number of
salaried members on the commits
sion could be reduced. Some sena-
tors disliked the idea of putting one
man at the head of such an import
ant commission.
Opposition to the proposed
changes grew following the COM
mittee hearings.
