City Council January -12 for map
ping plans and specifications for a
proposed cross town expressway.

The highway is planned to link
the city street system with Balti-
more's new airport at Friendship
Church, Anne Arundel County, and
the Washington Baltimore parkway.
The blueprints for the expressway
project were mapped out by Nathan

works. The highway would extend
from a point on the southwestern
boundary of Baltimore across open
land, use a portion of the Baltimore
g. Annapolis,Railway's right-o1 way,

ject by building a link between the

State law takes precedence over the
Taft-Hartley Act in such matters,
an election cannot be held among

provides that union-shop clauses,
