Rerouiing Of Trucks
Council Orders Removal
Of Detour Signs

The Alexandria City Council has
protested the action of the State
Highway Department in rerouting
trucks over King Street road and
the Leesburg pike to the Henry G
Shirley Memorial highway, and
ordered detour signs, already placed
on the corner of King Street road
and Route removed.
According to City Manager Carl

to make the city of Alexandria suffer
because of work being done to i'm
prove Highway No. ! in Arlington
County. it suggested that truck
traffic take its usual route through
the city on Patrick street, the con-
tinuation of Route l. being rerouted
through Arlington County when the
construction at For-Milea Run
Bridge is reached. i s.
" The original estimate of the time
required for the widening of the
highway from Four Mile Run to the
Pentagon access roads was one
month, but this was recently
changed to four months. City
Council expressed the opinion that
residents of the King Street road
section would suffer from the noise
and vibration of trucks passing their
homes "a hours a day, in addition
to the fact that the road was not
constructed to Withstand such heavy
traffic over a long period.

BALTIMORE, June 8.-The Re-
publican National Committee has
notified the Maryland COP organi-
cation that election of some dele
gates with a half vote each to the
national convention was contrary
to rules governing the national
gathering.
At the recent State Republican
meeting, Maryland's 20 delegates,
including II with a half vote each
and 10 with a full vote each, were
chosen.
The National Committee has
written each of the II delegates in
the former group that the seating
of representatives with a half vote
would be protested by the Creden-
tials Committee of the convention
since rules permit the seating only
of delegates with full vote each.
Galen L. TAFT, chairman Of the
Republican State Central Commit
tee and a delegate at large, said,
however, that he did not anticipate
any difficulty in seating the dele
gates with half votes.
'This situation arose at at least
three of the national conventions I
have attended and in each case the
convention accepted the delegates
having only half vote each," he
asserted.
The matter was expected to be
acted on at a meeting in Baltimore
today called by Mr.. TAFT to name
a Republican national committee
man. and to nominate delegates to
serve on the various committees
