Fairfax Asks Widening
OF Great Falls Street

Acting at the request of approx
mately 100 property owners along
Great Falls street in Falls Church
Magisterial District, the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors has
asked the State Highway Commis-
sion to improve and widen that
street at the earliest possible time
The boards action came after the
affected property owners listing the
following reasons for improving the
street. That the road for the amount
of traffic carried is in poorest condi-
ton of any in the county; high
crown and narrowness make it dan
gerous; motorists taking advantage
of the States 50-mile speed limit
make the road unsafe, its narrow
ness makes it dangerous for pedes-
trians.
The citizens with property af-
fected declared that il the State
desires a wider right-of-way they
would be willing to make the land
available at a reasonable price.

BY the Assoeiafed Press

LYNCHBUURG, Va, Oct. 19.-
The Virginia Methodist Conference

jectors and the Baruch plan for con-

Approval of the proposal fol
scrapping compulsory military

disputed paragraph of report o1
the commission on world peace, with
the majority overriding two mem.
bers of the bishops cabinet and lay
delegates who spoke in opposition
to the declaration.
The report, coming up during yes
terday afternoons session wher
many delegates had left the meeting
declared:
I'VE believe that world peace car

exercise of our democratic proceed
ures. Any system of compulsory
training, however, disguised, un'
necessarily violates the principles o1
, individual freedom and scraps the
volunteer system which has success

tory. It seriously interrupts the
normal education careers Of youth
and by placing them for long periods
under military tutors makes possible
the direct influence of the military
mind upon the whole education sys-
tenn of our country. 1t ignores the
radical change inevitably made ir
the tactics of war by the atomic
bomb and will tend to lull the
country into false security

State Asked 10 Study
Highway Transport
In Prince Georges

The Maryland State Roads Com
mission has been requested to con-
duct a comprehensive highway
transportation study of Prince
Georges County, 1t has been re-
vealed.
County Engineer Arthur w. Tay-
man announced yesterday the coun-
ty commissioners had made such a
request this week in letter to
Robert M. Reindollar. chairman of
the State Roads Commission, In
Baltimore. The letter was signed
by william A. Carson, chairman Of
the nve-man board OF Prince
Georges County commissioners.
II the study is approved, the
motoring public will be asked to
cooperate, Mr.. Tayman said. Just
how the survey would be conducted
is not certain at present. he added,
but motorists probably will be asked
to provide answers to various ques-
tions, either orally or by post card.
Guide for Planning Work.
Purpose of the survey, Mr.. Tay-
man explained, will be to provide a
guide for developing plans and
routes for proposed highway i'm
provements in the county.
Mr.. Tayman said the county is
seeking to determine whether plan
ming work under proposed $l,000.-
900 county improvement program Is
justified and whether proper loca-
tions for the highways are included.
A loan for such program was ap-
proved by the Federal Works Agency
and includes plans for improvements
to New Hampshire avenue from the
District line to the proposed cross
country highway itself and later an
intercounty freeway from New
Hampshire avenue to Defense high
way, Improvements to Hamilton ave-
nue. from Queens Chapel road to
Defense highway. including an un-
derpass or overpass across Rhode
Island avenue.
Recommended by Board.
The program was recommended TO
the county commissioners by their
advisory board. The board includes
Edgar A. Merkle, chairman; T.
Hammond Welsh, vice-chairman;
Col. Joseph L. Aman, executive sec
retary; E. Murray Cover, Hyatts-
vile mayor, and Irwin I. Main,
chairman of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion. Mr.. Tayman and Fred w.
Tuemmler, director of planning for
the park and planning commission.
are advisory engineers to the board.
Mr.. Tayman said the survey will
attempt to determine origination
and destination of motorists and
how often they use the various high
ways. A similar study now is being
completed in Baltimore, Mr.. Tay-
man said. II conducted in Prince
Georges, it probably would be the
first county traffic study. he added.
The county has offered to share In
its expense, he pointed out.
Prince Georges County roads
probably carry the greatest volume
of traffic into the Nations Capital,
Mr.. Tayman said. The roads include
Route l, the Washington Baltimore
boulevard and main north south
thoroughfare; Route SO, Annapolis
Washington road: New Hampshire
avenue and Central avenue.
A previous survey conducted by
the Public Roads Administration in
dicated the greatest volume of traf-
fic leaving Washington disperses
from two to eight miles away, Mr..
Tayman said. ..
