Montgomery County government
setup, it was announced yesterday

of Silver Spring,
Organizations represented in the
newly formed group are the Mont

were proposed in practically every
county activity.
The program will include series
of public meetings at which authori-
ties on various aspects Of the

summarizing the major findings of
the study group are being made by
the Publicity and Education Com
mittee.
Aim of the group, Mr.. Gardner
said, is to acquaint the people with
all the facts ard points of view on
the report so that they can make
an intelligent, non-partisan decision
on what changes, if any, they wish
to make in their own government
and its operations"

Hearing Concluded
By Commissioners
On Schultz Bill
BY DON S. WARREN.


The Commissioners will diSap-
prove any move to open the D-5trict
to importation of milk or cream from
distant areas only on the certificate
of a State or county health officer,
according to indications today at
the District Building.
At the conclusion of two days
of public hearings on the bill of
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, designed to break down
what he calls the Chinese Wall''
around the Washington milkshed, 1t
appeared the city heads were con-
vinced:
First, that Washington now gets
an exceptionally high quality of
milk, both as to purity and butter
fat content;
No Lower Price Assurance.
Second, that there is no assur-
ance Washington retail milk prices
would be reduced to any degree if
the District adopted either the
Schultz bill or the more specific
model code sponsored by the United
States Public Health Service, and
Third, that there is no immediate
threat of shortage of milk supply
for Washington, despite its recent
growth of population.
So far, the city heads have made
no announcement of their views
When hearings we're concluded yes
terday, they merely said they would
study the voluminous record. But
there Is reason to believe they were
impressed with testimony suggest
ing that perhaps some technical
requirements placed on milk pro-
ducers as to more or less expensive
farm equipment were unnecessarily
rigid and might be modified without
losing any protection. More study
may be given this. point.
Under Consumption Noted.
Also, there appeared to be SYM
pathy for the view that there is an
under er-consumption of milk among
many of the poorer Washington
families, and STONE step may be
considered on this point, but it is
said the Commissioners were not
convinced solution could be
achieved merely by opening the
market to shipments from distant
States, If the present quality is re-
tanned.
They are said to believe the dis
tributor must be considered in any
move leading to any retail price
reduction.
Throughout the hearing, called
In response to insistent demands
by Representative Schultz for OPEN

New Road Urged
As War, Navy
Buildings Link
$4,000, 900 Highway
Would Close Gap
In D. 6. RudiuIs

The proposed S4,000000 super
highway from Washington to the
South, plans for which were re-
vealed yesterday by the Virginia
State Highway Department, would
fill the only gap in the system OF
radial roads serving the Capital
area, John Nolen, jr., director OF
planning for the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, said
today.
The road, described as similar
in design to the famous Pennsyl-
vania turnpike, would have It's
northern terminus at point near
Columbia pike and Arlington Ridge
road. Some Is miles in length. 1t
would follow an almost straight line
south and Join with U. S. Route
/ at a point near Woodbridge, Va.
Urged for Years.
Mr.. Nolen said it would about BIZ
sect territory south of Washington
between U. S. Route l and Lee
boulevard, adding that this was the
only area not now served by ra-
dial highway. He pointed out that
this was one reason why the plan
ming commission has urged con-
struction of such road for a num-
ber of years.
Describing the project yesterday,
Virginia officials stressed the fact
that its northern terminus would tie
in with the intricate system of ROADS
mapped with the help of the Public
Roads Administration to serve the
new War Department and Navy
buildings which will be in use in
Arlington County within two years.
While plans for the road-calllng
for a four-lane divided roadway
and preliminary surveys OF the right
of way have been completed, Vir-
ginia officials pointed out that no
funds for its construction are avail
able at present. It is hoped that
the necessary money can be secured
from the substitute defense highway
bill now pending in the House after
Senate passage.
States Must Contribute.
Funds allocated from this bill
would have to be met by one part
State to three parts Federal money
unless certified by the Secretary of
War as essential to defense.
Placing the cost of the project as
high as s5,oOO,OO0. C. S. Mullen,
chief engineer for the Virginia de-
partment, asserted that there were
other highways in the Newport
News, Radford and other defense
sectors of the State which merited
equal consideration.
4 The road would be considered a
supplementary rather than alternate
to U. S. Route l, he said, although
both private and commercial ve-
hicles would be permitted to use 1t.
