BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.-Plans
for voluntary roadside control
Maryland were dis
cussed behind closed doors here

The problem of how to keep the
highways of the State from be-
coming overcommercialized has
come up regularly for many years.

for strict regulations on the num-
ber of blllboards. hotdog stands
and other commercial projects to
be allowed on main roads have
always failed or have been we'll
Watered down.
Local subdivisions now have
almost complete power to set up
their own zoning regulations.
Voluntary Control Urged.
At a recent meeting of the Leg
iSlative Council-interim com.
mittee of the General Assembly
proponents of voluntary control
asked for a chance to put their
ideas into operation before at
tempts were made to pass new leg
lslation on the subject.
The commission spokesman said
it was decided at yesterdays
meeting that those present would
confer with the organizations they
represent to decide what methods
might be adopted.
Possibilities of industry codes
and a general code are to be con-
sidered, he said.

GOVERNOR HASTE u A FEDERAL JUDGESHIP
THOSE WHO WOULD love to see the Governor recall
ed, and no doubt have been working towards that end NAV
see their tondeSt dreams come true. Governor HASTE, as many
believed, is slated for a Federal iudgeship on the mainland.
This time, however, he will no doubt be appointed to one of
the Circuit Courts Of Appeals, and more than likely to the
Third Circuit Court in Philadelphia.
OPPOSITION IS brewing in Pennsylvania, particularly
among Negroes, to such an appointment, according to reports
received, the resentment being over the fact that other disting-
ushed and loyal members of the race who helped to put Tr1-
man in the White House again, will have been sighted. While
it is quite true that Governor HASTE is quite distinguished,
and has already served as a Federal Judge, yet that does not
Sooth the aches and bitter disappointment which certainly will
come by his appointment, which would say in blaring words
that none of the local attorneys are wanted. In a move last
week, the Judiciary Committee of the Pennsylvania Bar,
named seven members, among them a Negro, Judge Milhn,
a Republican, whom they endorse for the additional Federal
TudgeShipS, three of which are in that state.
WHATEVER THE situation might be,on the mainland,
it affects us but little, except to pride ourselves in the fact that
we have had the good fortune to have received the services
of a man whose ability and mexcelled scholarship is recog-
nized over the world. An appointment to the Circuit Court
is one step up the ladder, and certainly points to things big
ger for the future. But who will come as Governor of the Vr-
gins is another matter.
UNDOUBTEDLY, H post will go to one whose sup
port of the Administration is unquestioned. But his problems
will be as they have always been for all the civilian governors
economic, political, social. There will be the question Of try
ing to balance a budget, and running back and forth to Wash
ington seeking deficiency appropriations. Back home here will
be the usual, run-of-the-mill politics, with men and groups
jockeying for position and power, and within two or three
years, if he lasts that long, the inevitable-cry for his removal.
What concerns us is that we are not seeing the situation as it

Tours of Japan

TOKYO, Oct. 15.-So you want
to visit Japan? Dollar hungry

like to have you come.
But before you buy your ship
or plane ticket. you'll want 9
better idea of what is in store fol
you in the land of Madame But

The first thing you need to get
into Japan is a passport. That
of course, is easier said than done
1t takes time and patience. But
once you get that precious green
document from the State Depart
ment. you've passed the biggest
hurdle.
Package Tours Now.
When postwar Japan's tourist
trade opened up in December
1947, travellers were limited to
one-day stopovers. They could
leave their ships at Kobe and
travel overland to Yokohama COR
vice versa, meeting their ship
the following day. Gradually the
time limit has been lifted. Now
you can take your choice of two
or three day overland tours, or
7-day, 14-day, 23-day or 3l-day
package tours.
But you still can't come into
Japan and wander around on
your own-not even for one day
You must be signed up for one

Not the Best Hotels.
The day you arrive you will be
taken to Tokyo and quartered in
what the JTB calls "the best avail
able hotels" Actually the hotels
available to the tourist are better
than average. They are not, how
ever, the best hotels. The I'm
perial in Tokyo, the Miyako at
Kyoto. the Fujiya at Miyanoshita,
the Havana on the LEU Peninsula
and many other first-class hotels
have been taken over by the occu-
patton.
Last year. about 1900 foreigners
visited Japan and spent more
