Scientific highway tests now
under way in Southern Maryland
are expected to aid in determin-
ing correct weight limits for
loaded trucks and to point the
way to improved highway con-
struction generally.
This experiment, which will cost
about $500,000. is being conducted
just south of La Plata, about As
miles from Washington. Co.
operating are the highway de-
partment of the District, Connec-
ticut, Delaware, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Maryland. Michigan, New
Jersey. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin. The Bureau
of Public Roads, the Army and
industry also are in the program.
Although the tests already are
going on the results are not final
and no final conclusions can be
drawn.
This executive and advisory
committees are carrying on the
project under supervision of the
Highway Research Board of the
National Academy of Sciences.
Legislatures Interested.
Results of the tests affect the
$40 billion highway industry
trucks, buses, road construction
and related business in many re-
spects.
State legislatures. due to meet
early next year. would like to
have the benefit of an early off,
cial report on the project to guide
them in making decisions on what
to do about legislating about truck
weights on highways.
Asriel Taragin, Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads engineer. is in direct
charge of the project and has
three assistants. The bureau is
furnishing technical personnel and
instruments on the job. Truck
manufacturers are supplying the
eight trucks and the petroleum
industry is giving gas and lubri-
cants. Weather data is obtained
from the Naval Proving Ground,
Danlgren, Va. but officials on
the job measure rainfall and re-
cord other weather information.
Gordon Ray, representing the
Portland Cement Association. is
closely observing the tests.
The Laboratory" is a stretch
OF Route 301, IL miles long, built
in 1941 on subgrades typical of
Maryland highways. The con-
crete construction, reinforced, is
conceded to be a good job. This
Is an ordinary highway, which has
been blocked off for the test and
was chosen because it is nine years
old and considered properly
"weathered." Regular traffic is
bypassed over a parallel highway.
Sixth Progress Report Made.
Progress Report No. 6 for Oc-
tober was submitted by the en-
gineers this month. 1t shows that
on the section of the road where
a load of 44,800 pounds was placed
on a tandem double rear axle)
truck, and run for 92,166 trips,
OF II concrete slabs in the high
way, only three had no cracks.
OF the II joints between slabs in
this section, only SIX were not
broken.
At the executive committees
direction, on October 13, the en-
gineers halted experiments on this
section to preserve the remaining
unbroken joints for further tests
with instruments. Tests on the
other lanes continue.
The report shows that in direct
comparison with this lane, the
adjacent traffic lane, where a
tandem truck with $4,000 pounds
made $4,000 trips - almost an
equal number out of the II
slabs, only 20 showed new cracks.
There were only 307 feet of cracks
in this section, compared with
1903 feet Of cracks recorded in
the lane alongside over vhich tho

 "YeS. and the miners probably will be celebrating John l.. Lew is birthday for two more weeks" "
 The strikers did not seem much concerned with President Tru- mans Taft-Hartley court action aimed at ending the strike. Nor with Lewis work orders.
 The questions now is what Un- cle Sam will do about enforcing his stOp-strike command.
 The government is standing by with a Wait-and-see attitude.
 Federal officials apparen l y hope the court-ordered contract negotiations, resuming today in Washington, will hasten the strikes end.
 Lewis and mine operators will meet amid field reports that the UNIV chief may substitute some new demands for those ruled out by a federal district court in Washington.

1f72 ENROLMENT
In LOCAL SCHOOLS
AT END NOVEMBER

The student enrolment in Ju-
neau's schools public and parochiai,
totals 1172 at the last day Of Nov
ember, it was revealed by schools
heads today.
Total enrolment in the Juneau
public schools at the end of Nov
ember is 1,o30 according to figures
released this morning by Superin-
tendent of Schools Sterling Sears.
The total enrolment for the term
is expected to top that of last
year which was 1865 at the close o.
the school term.
There have been 240 students
enrolled in the high school and
100 in the elementary schools since
the opening day of the fall term
last September. Sears said. Slightly
less than these numbers are now
in actual attendance due to the
fact that a few students have left
with their parents Tor the states.
Total enrolment at the close of
the 1949-50 year last May was BIG
in the high school and 249 in the
elementary schools.
Enrolment in the Psrochial
School continues to show an in
crease this year over the 1949-50
year. Enrolment on this date totals
142 with the actual number OF
students how attending a few
under this number, several students
having left the city. The total en-
rollment at the close of the 1949-
Sc school year last May was 1876, an
increase over the total of 100 en-
rolled at the opening of the school
in that year, indicating possible
increase in enrolment by the enc
of the present school year.
