By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. Is. - The
City Planning Commission yester-
day announced a $195 100000 pro-
gram for relieving traffic conges-
ton in Baltimore which it esti-
mated would pay for itself in Is
years.
Losses resulting from the ctiy's
already acute traffic problem
would amount to that much if the
program weren't put into effect
the commission said in its report
The commission latest pre-
scription for smoothing the flow
of traffic includes these proposals
/. Construction of a midtown
ring" of broad streets to ease the
snarl in the business districts.
"Radial' Expressways.
2. A system of "radial" express
ways. One would cut from the
end of the proposed Washington
Baltimore expressway in South

in a northeasterly direction to the
Pulaski highway. Another would
lead from the midtown ring" to
the western edge of the city.

Dor Fallsway and Pratt streets)

streets lying in concentric circles
through the city. q.a,e 4
5. An inner harbor tunnel cons

area of the city with South Balti-
more. It would bypass the
downtown business section.
40 Per cent Sought from q. s.
The commission pointed oui
that about 40 per cent Of the
necessary funds could come from
the Federal Government.
It's studies show the system
would save the average motorist
10 minutes . day, resulting in a
total saving of about 5000, 900
man hours a year.
The report also suggests band
of of street parking facilities
lying around the fringes of the
business and shopping area.
The commission said the system
is one which Can grow in stages

Citizens Rescind
Request for Ban
On Apartments
Montgomery Group.
However, Reoffirms
Rezonine Opposition

The Montgomery County CIVIC
Federation last night rescinded its
month -old request for suspension
of issuance of permits for apart
ment construction on land already
zoned for such purpose. At the
same time, it reaffirmed its opposi-
ton to further rezoning for apart
mentS.
At its October meeting the fed
Grafton asked complete suspension
of apartment construction in the
belief the county needs a catching
up" period for development of
schools, roads and utility services.
Its resolution was under recon-
sideration becaues the legality of
stopping the issuance of permits
was questioned.
In the hours debate that fol-
lowed the request for reconsidera-
ton, Henry Smelling argued that
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
not only has the right to suspend
issuance of construction permits,
but has duty to do so in the pub
lie interest. Samuel E Stone
braker cited court case to prove
that the commission does not
have the right.
Study Committee Named
DR.. Harold Morris was named
chairman of a special committee
which will study the effects of
apartment house construction on
county economy. Such study
was requested by Mrs. Mary B.
Mohler, representing the Chevy
Chase Terrace Community Asso-
citation.
Prompt measures to control the
recent. outbreak of rabies in the
Takoma -Chillum-Four Cor
ners area were asked of the
County Council and the Maryland
Livestock Sanitary Commission.
Citizens were urged to cooperate
in any measures that may be
adopted.
The federation's action fol-
lowed a report by Allan B. Fay.
chairman of the Sanitation and
Public Health Committee, in
which he pointed out that rabies
control in the county was effected
in 1943 and 1914 by vaccination
and quarantine program. If epi-'
demic rabies is to be avoided now.
he said "every outbreak must be
. contained by strict quarantine
which includes destruction Of
strays and unwanted dogs and
the infection within the quaran-
tine area eliminated by effective
vaccination"
j FAC Gets Welcome.
The federation voted warm
welcome" to the Food and Agri-
cultural Organization of the
United Nations should it decide to
make its home in Montgomery
County on one of three sites now
under consideration.
In an information report, Rus
sell Whyte, chairman of the
Schools Committee. said the 68
county schools now have an over
load of 5,970 pupils. The building
program now under way will pro-
vide accommodation for about
4.500, leaving 1,500 still to be pro-

Annexation Plan
Cut Sharp|yby
New Proposal to Add
Population Enough
To Roise City Status

The Falls Church City Council
last night announced that it has
eliminated a large area of Fair
fax County to the east and south
of the city from it's originally pro-
posed annexation program.
The councils action was an
nounced at a Falls Church mass
meeting on a school bond refer
endum to be voted on Saturday
Although the announcement did
not describe the boundaries which
the city now hopes to acquire, 1t
was learned that the present pro-
posal, If successful, would add
sufficiently to the present esti-
mated $500 population to enable
Falls Church to become a first
class city.
New School Areas Not Included.
AS presented by John r. Miles,
member of the city school board,
the councils statement declared
that the present annexation plans
do not include any area in which
Fairfax County plans to build new
schools.
w. T Woodson, county superin-
tendent of schools, said Saturday
that among proposed schools
which may be included in a future
county school bond issue are new
buildings at Graham road. West
Lawn and Willston.
The elimination of Graham road
from the annexation plan means
that the heavily-populated areas
of Jefferson Village Apartments,
Tyler Park. Fenwick Park and
fremont Gardens are not sought
by the city. The West-Lawn de-
velopment, on the south side of
Lee boulevard at Annandale road,
is expected to include 800 homes.
$40 Units in Willston Plan.
The Willston apartment project,
now under construction at Seven
Corners, will total 800 units. Next
year construction Of $50 addi-
tional units is scheduled at Will
ston. :.
Also included in the 17-square-
mile annexation project an
nounced in June, but now dropped
from the proposal are the resi-
dental areas of Buffalo Hill,
Ravenwood, Sleepy Hollow, Holmes
Run Park and Beech Tree lane,
all on the south side Of Lee
boulevard.
The original annexation suit
was filed In Fairfax County Cir
cult Court in June, but was
dropped by the city after voters
in the county's Sanitary District
No. / authorized a 5000. 600 bond
issue to purchase the Federally
owned Holmes Run trunk sewer
and for other improvements.
High School Transfer Barred.
The sanitary district is adjacent
to the city.
The proposed annexation boun-
daries- as now suggested by the
city are apparently designed to
minimize or eliminate city nego-
tiations with the county over ac-
QUESTION of sewer facilities in the
event annexation is successful.
Mr.. Miles told the 200 Falls
Church residents at the Madison
School meeting last night that
the proposed boundaries mean
that there is no possibility that
the county could consider offering
to transfer Falls Church High
School to the city.
Informed this morning Of the
new proposed boundaries and Of
Mr.. Miles statement that there
is mo possibility that the county
might relinquish the high school,
Mr.. Woodson had mo comment. !"
