The commission has not yet off,

was believed likely it would be ap-

How the highway should be
brought through Montgomery
County to the District line has
been a matter of speculation as
construction progressed at the
Frederick end of the highway.
1t now is about finished from
Frederick to Urbana and the next
stretch from Urbana to the Mont
gomery County line is in various
stages of work.
The plan for carrying the high
way through Montgomery County
calls for:
l. Construction of the highway
southwest of Rockville, and down
Thomas Branch and Cabin John
Creek Valleys to Macarthur boule-
ward. Passenger cars then would
drive over Macarthur boulevard
into the District until the new

Washington be subjected to an

But if Washington never suf-

the highway would pay dividends
from the moment it was opened"
His bill is move to rescue a
so-called non controversial sectiCn
from the earlier measure for dis
persal of key Government agencies
from Washington into scattered
suburban acres of Maryland and
Virginia. The dispersal bill has
been sidetracked.
Senator Case recalled that he
had testified on the dispersal bill
that a 10-minute rain squan can
tie up traffic at many points about
Washington and that the belt
highway is needed even for peace
time traffic demands.
His bill, referred to the Senate

view President Truman's lccent
order restricting information from
Government agencies was sug-
gcsteG yesterday by enator
Moody. Democrat, of Michigan.
Senator Moody. a former news
papelman made the proposal
during a Senate speech by Sena-
tor Brntor Democrat. of Con-
necticut advocating appointment
of a peoples advocate" with
counIerparts in key Government
agencies. fighting as hard to re-
lease information as some off,
cials have been known to fight
to suppress it."
Doesn't Question Purpose.
Senator Benton said he realized
that the Presidents directive was
aimed at uniformity of security
regulations on information among
the agencies and that he did not
quarrel with that idea.
He urged. however. that Mr..
Truman's order should have been
further projected to include some
greatly needed new steps to help
get information out to the press
and public"
Senator Moody. who moved
from the Capital press corps to
the Senate floor a few months
ago, agreed that Senator Benton's
suggestion was well put" He
said he was convinced. however,
that the Presidents order car
ried no sinister intent"
Some Names Suggested.
Senator Moody suggested a
committee composed of such
newsmen as Mark Ethridge of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, Laur-
ence L. Winship of the Boston
Globe and Fred Gaertner, jr.. of
the Detroit News would be high
ly qualified to advise on this issue
1T would be even better" Sem
