STATE ROAD PROGRAM

Hopeful that Congress will soon
approve the s150,000,0O0 military
access roads bill, and that Mary
lands anticipted share of $13,0O0,-
900 will be forthcoming shortly,
the State Roads Commission Is ready
to proceed with its program as soon
as 1t gets the signal from Washing
ton, the Chairman Of the State
Roads Commission, Ezra B. Whit
man, said today.
Plans and specifications for most
of the projects in the program to re-
lieve traffic and congestion In the
areas where defense production Is
concentrated are nearly complete.
Congressional delays in passing
Legislation for the defense roads
program made 1t possible to develop
plans for what regarded as we'll
rounded, comprehensive solution of
defense area traffic bottlenecks.
Should the pending bill be ap-
proved. we could proceed at once
with those projects where conges-
ton is greatest. Surveys and pre-
liminary plans have been made on
all other projects of the nine pro-
jects agreed upon with the Public
Roads Administration for access
roadways", Mr.. Whitman said.
Heading the list is the work on
the Eastern Avenue to the Glenn L.
Martin plant, and ON the North
Point Road to Sparrows Point.
Working in anticipation of the re-
lease Of funds, most of the prepara-
tory work on the Eastern Avenue
project has been completed.
1--WE are prepared to release the
contract for the Eastern Avenue
bridge right now, providing the
money is there, Mr.. Whitman said.
''Some rights of way along Eastern
Avenue are still to be obtained, and
in this respect, too, we expect assist
ance through the pending legisla-
ton. understand 1t carries with 1t
the right to condemn abutting prop
erty necessary for highway improve
memt."
He explained that Federal con-
domination proceedings would great
ly facilitate acquisition of property.
Mr.. Whitman said first considera-
ton would be given to the bridge
because 1t was the largest project
necessary to the widening of East
ern Avenue.
with all plans ready, we could
start construction Immediately and
have the bridge well In advance Of
the road work by next spring and In
that way have the surfacing and
bridge complied together by next
fall'.
Other projects would be the ap-
proach of the Aberdeen Proving
Ground: the strengthening and wild
eming Of the road from Magnolia to
Edgewood Arsenal, including the
construction of an overpass over the
tracks Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road; the improvement and reloca-
ton Of tn road between Camp Meade
coming out on the Washington
Bulevard, probably at Laurel; wild
ening and strengthening OF the road
between the Richie Highway and
the Curtis Bay Ordinance Depot;
general Improvement work on the
highway connecting the Indian Head
Naval reservation with the Grain
Highway: new bridge over the
Potomac River at Cumberland, con-
Meeting with the airport there, and
extensive work within the City of
Baltimore.

Strikes In defense industries have

Criticism Of this nations arms
effort continues to mount. According
to one OF the latest surveys, 1t will
be another year before our military
production rivals that OF England.
Inasmuch as we have three times the

many times the resources OF all
kinds. it is apparent that we are still
long, long way from anything re-
sembling an ''all out" armament

l58 FRESHMEN AT
 TRINITY COLLEGE
Student Body Totals SPA; Interchange of Classes
 With Wesleyan Listed

Opening day at Trinity college, Hartford, meant the beginning of college for 158 freshmen, approxi- mately the same number as last year, and meant a new school for 1T transfer students. Final tabula- ton shows that the whole student body totals 524, figure which will probably reach $40 by the end of this month, allowing for the late registration of students with valad excuses such as selective service difficulties.
 But there Is no increase in enroll ment this year to offset the Il per cent upperclass loss due mainly to the national defense program. Draft obligations and the expiration of defcrments during the course of the year will reduce the expected total. Chemistry, physics, engineering, and pre-medical majors, however. will likely be able to obtain deferments, depending on local draft board rulings.
 Dean Arthur H. Hughes, who was recently appointed to that position. stated that there is no decided trend toward the sciences and engineer ing, although chemistry is strong as usual. Trinity college, however, isl doing its part for national defense by stressing mechanical engineering rather than civil engineering pr. Maurice E. Bates, formerly of Antioch college, is now head of the engineering department. He has expanded the curriculum to include several mechanical courses to pro- vide pre-engineering training which, with year of graduate work, will beequiivalent to a technical college education.
 Advanced courses in mechanical and structural engineering and mathematics are also being offered for the first time this year in the extension division of Trinity col lege.
 Since the primary ground and the secondary pilot training course has been discontinued because of the government curtaiiment of funds, a new course sponsored by the college is now being given in aerial naviga- ton. It will cover the work of last years course under the Civil Aero nautics Administration. with the ex- clusion of flight practice.
 Another innovation at Trinity is a plan for the interchange of classes with nelghhoring Wesleyan university, Trinity's friendly rival for over a century. Primarily un- dertaken to make possible courses at one college which are not ade- quately supported at the other. this measure was not adopted because Of any expected decrease in enroll- ment, both presidents firmly assert. This plan was chiefly designed for advanced students who will meet in seminar sessions only once or twice a week to avoid transpoFta- ton difficulties.

Two recent books designed to entice you into some serious think ing are "The Intent of the Artist" (Princeton University Press: $2.50 and Invitation to Learning" (Ran- dom: $3).
 The first is symposium by four men, each of whom achieved distinction in his own field. Par ticipants include the late Sherwood Anderson, author; Thornton Wilder, playwright; Roger Sessions, com poser. and William Lescaze, archi- tect. Each has his own idea of what the artist is driving at. but none is so clearly presented as that of Anderson, who tackled the problem on the premise that an explanation Of the thing he was writing could be given as simply and effectively as the writing itself
 The other book is a series of conversations among Huntington Cairns, Allen Tate and Mark Van Doren. taken from radio discussions on the worlds greatest books.
