the exchange program--bringing

they will live in American homes

Political Deal Offered
To Maryland Bar TO
End Orphans Courts
By the Asxoeiotsd Press

| ATLANTIC CITY, July 2.-The
Maryland Bar Association pom
dered today whether it should try
making a political trade with the
Legislature in order to get the
States Orphans Court abolished
The trade was proposed to the
association 54th annual conven-
ton here yesterday by State Sena-
| tor Louis Goldstein, Democrat, OF
Calvert County.
Senator Goldstein said there
isn't a chance of abolishing the
Orphans Courts for Is years" un-
less there is "tieup' which would
give five Maryland counties resi-
dent judge.
Earlier, the membership voted
"a to As against giving Garrett,

Then by a 66-49 standing vote the
delegates decided to reconsider.

over to a committee whose men,

Abolition of the Orphans Court
has been a chief crusade of the
bar association in recent years.
1t recommended abolition last
year. but a bill introduced in the
recent Legislature died in COM

The committee which brought

that the present judges can do

the two issues should be COM

Judge Walter Capper of Cum

Maryland Plans
.RoadS;of Future,
Reindo||arSays
Highways Due to Be
Modern 20 Years
| After Construction
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, July 2.-Mary-
land is going to build the high.
ways of tomorrow today, accord
ing to Robert M. Reindollar,
chairman of the State Roads Com
mission.
Mr.. Reindollar. just back from
a New York financial conference
where he outlined Maryland's vast
road building plans, anticipates
a possible increase of so per cent
in the number of vehicles in use
in the Free State by 1870.
1--WE are not only building high
ways for today" he declared in
an interview, ''but highways that
will be modern 20 years hence"
Maryland, which led the Nation
with it's network of paved roads
in 1925. made the mistake of not
keeping its highways up to date,
Mr.. Reindollar believes. The
roads commission and the advi-
sorry commission appointed by
Gov. Lane "are going to see that
history. doesn't t. repeat itself" he
added.
Costs May Be Quadrupled.
That is the one reason why the
States highway officials have ele-
waited their sights, Mr.. Reindollar
said. He anticipated that the
needed Improvements may now
cost four times the 1910 estimate
of 5000, 900 900.
1--WE are acquiring sufficient
rights of-way for many arterial
routes so that when traffic volume
swells we can build extra lanes"
the roads chief continued.
THE highways are being built
on stabilized subgrades to keep
maintenance at low point. The
pavements are being built thick
enough to withstand the heaviest
traffic and the travelway provided
for each line of vehicles will be at
least IL feet wide.
I'VE are arranging for long
sight distances-say 1000 feet in
the clear-so that cars may op-
crate at high speed with safety.
Limited Access Planned.
That means eliminating humps
at the top of hills, results in heav-
ier initial outlays for grading. It
means wide swinging curves, about
which motorcars can move safely
at top allowable speeds.
Near the various densely popu-
lated centers limited access routes
will be provided. On such routes
highway grade crossings will be
eliminated by interchanges
or cloverleafs -.
THAT is the way we are pro-
ceeding with designing, routing
and constructing the highways to
comprise our rehabilitated system.
a system which will be adequate
for two decades or more. ="
Mr.. Reindollar pointed out that
there are about 100000 motor We
hicles now licensed in Maryland.
Most sources. he said, believe that
this figure will DE close to 100000
in 20 years. And they will be bet
ter cars which will be driven
more, he added.

Capitol Area 5|ums
Given High Priority
In Planners Projects

A large slum clearance project
in the vicinity of the Capitol was
disclosed today as an immediate
objective of Federal planners,
regardless of whether Congress
finally grants or denies the $2,-
100000 sought for redevelopment
of Marshall Heights in the out
lying Northeast section.
TT is essential to the urban re-
development program that we
keep moving forward, or keep
trying" said Chairman William
w. Wurster. who also reported on
two moves to expedite possible
action on the Marshall Heights
plan. 1t would be beneficial to
all concerned. he said. if two
projects could be developed
simultaneously, so that dispos-
sessed families might have the
choice and opportunity of moving
from one area to the other.
Consequently the commission
will urge a $53.700 appropriation
to draw up a plan for the elm
ination of the slum areas, includ-
ing numerous alley homes, about
which members of Congress now
are complaining.
Plan Never Presented.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission closed its
monthly session late yesterday,
after expressing a desire also. for
early hearings before the Senate
and House District Committees on
its own reorganization bill.
John Nolen, director of plan
ming, pointed out that the House
Appropriations Committee. which
knocked out funds for the Mar
shall Heights plan, had done so
without having had the NCPPC
plan for redevelopment of the area
submitted to it. The commission,
he said. was never given the op-
portunity to present the plan.
For this reason, NCPPC yester-
day voted to ask that the plan be
submitted to Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, who has
taken a great personal interest in
the project, so that he might in
sert it in the record of the Senate
committee, which meets Tuesday.
The plan was approved by the
District Commissioners. after hear
ings, and presents a complete rec
ord and explanation of the project.
Study Of Area Asked.
The planners also asked study
Of the 200-acre Marshall Heights
area to determine whether living
standards can be improved imme-
diately. The District Commis-
sioners will be asked to make the
inspection.
Two plans for improving traffic
conditions in the West End were
considered. AS a temporary ex-
pedient to expedite the flow of
eastbound traffic over the White
hurst freeway into the Rock
Creek Potomac parkway, Lne
opening of Twenty seventh street
NV. into G street was recon-
mended.
The commission also took under
study the improvement of the
dangerous" intersection Of Vir-
ginia and Constitution avenues
NV, where there is no traffic
light. Virginia avenue is two
way thoroughfare, and in the rush
hours cars turning into Constitu-
ton avenue constitute a constant
danger, it was said.
The plan would be to make
Virginia avenue one-Way for traf-
fic going west for two blocks to
divert it's eastbound traffic.
