mitted only to deciding over to the
state certain rights-of-way proper
.ty for the artery plus partial fl
nancial grant to be matched by
the Free State This would leave
a tremendous proportion of the
financing up to Maryland and the
State has no such cash or credit
for this purpose.
The decision of U. S. roads Off
Gals to refuse Maryland $11,00O.-
900 for the new highway was
come upon reluctantly and was
directly limited at in ROOsevelt's
recent economy utterances when
he declared that public works and
roads budget estimates would
have to be cut to the bone.
The Federal highway Golfer is
regarded by perplexed U. S. Off
Gals as a virtual "PandOra's Box"
once the lid be opened to one
special plea (such as Maryland's)
there would be no closing the lid
and a series of explosive political
rows would follow as each area
would come along demanding it's
share of largesse under the pre-
text of defense"
The cold statistical truth, as
gathered by Commissioner Thorn
as Macdonald of the L. S. Bureau
of Public Roads, shows that most
defense" highway talk is purely
a roadside mirage. For instance,
army trucks on highways at their
proposed emergency peak will to-
tai only about 100000, whereas at
present there are 4,500,O00 regis
tered private trucks plying inter
state asphalts.
In the light of facts such as
this the Public Roads Administra-
ton remains entirely unruffled by
defense" arguments. Those seek
ing substantial federal assistance
for sO-called defense highways are
obliged to prove two things, name
ly, that the projects are either
Faccess" or "tactical' roads The
Governor has made a strong case
that his favorite project comes
within these categories but Wash
ingtOn highway planners differ in
their nriVato OniOjOnc
One reason for the conflicting
viewpoints is that traffic relief
which would be provided by a new
super highway between the two
big cities would be partly nullified
by the Baltimore metropolitan
bottleneck. In other words, a man
fold lane, futurama route connect
ing the two congested zones would
lose much of it's access and "tac-
ticap' effect by reason of the Bal
