Council 10 Hear Plan
Ito Build New School,

Montgomery County officials and
school administrators were to re-
port today on q plan to allow the
country to contract for as many
new schools as possible next fiscal
year, even though the school board
does not receive the $11 million
appropriation for which it has
asked.
County Manager Irving G.. Nc
Nayr and School Supt. Edwin w
Broome were scheduled to confer
with the county council and the
Board of Education at 5 pm. to-
day.
Mr.. McNayr and Mr.. Broome
and their respective stats dis.
cussed the undisclosed plan in 8
closed session yesterday after.
noon. The only comment after.
ward was that progress had beer
made.
Mr.. McNayr has proposed that
the school board appropriation be
shaved to 81 million on the ground
that the county's credit rating
will suffer If the $11 million is
granted. Even the 81 million
figure will barely allow the county
to slip under the limit of bonded
indebtedness set by State law, he
contends.

Shirley Highwa,
Truck Traffic
Ban Removed
Commercial Vehicles
. To Use Full Length
Of New Expresswoy

Shirley highway was open te
truck traffic over It's entire length
between Washington and Wood.
bridge, Va, for the first time to-
day.
Virginia State police said they
had been notified by the State
Department Of Highways that the
former ban on trucks was ended
and trucks should be permitted
to travel over the expressway.
Signs directing northbound
trucks to keep off Shirley highway
were taken down at Woodbridge
this morning by the State High
way Department. The Bureau OF
Public Roads, which controls the
southbound entrance to the high
way, said no-truck signs would be
removed from there today or to-
morrow, at the request of the
State.
It was pointed out by the Bu-
reau Of Public Roads that 1t never
has restricted trucks from its
portion Of the highway between
Washington and Leesburg pike
but the no-truck signs were put
up at the highways entrance to
prevent trucks from getting on
the highway and then discovering
they could not pass beyond Lees
burg pike.
Trucks have been banned from
the highway pending completion
of the northbound lane. The last
mile stretch of the north
bound lane was finished about q
week ago. and passenger cars have
been travelling over 1t since last
Thursday. Before the northbouno
lane was finished, passenger cars
travelled the full length of the
highway. using the southbound
lane two ways.
The Arlington County Board
and several nearby Virginia civic
groups attempted to have the
truck ban continued. even after
completion of the highway. They
said trucks would impede the ira
vel Of commuters.
But the State stuck to its orig.
inal plans Of allowing trucks or
the highway. so they could by
pass heavily congested Route
through Alexandria.
State highway officials expressed
the opinion, however, that trucks
probably would avoid the high
way during rush hours when com.
muter traffic is heavy.

|GreenbeIt Area
May Lose Bus
Service Again
Passenger Increase
Needed, OrioIe Line
Warns City Council

For the second time in as many
months. Greenbelt residents face
the loss of bus transportation.
Charles T. Mcdonald, Green
belt city manager, read q letter
to the City Council last night from
the Oriole Motor Coach Lines,
Inc, warning that unless there is
an increase in passengers. service
to the city will be discontinued In
|mid-June.
Oriole took over the Greenbelt
route that Capital Transit dis
continued the first of April, and
has been operating rush-hour
service only. 1t formerly was
known as Capital Transit's G-8
route.
The council instructed Mr.. Nc
Donald to talk with the bus COM
|pany to see what could be done to
prevent a loss Of service. Mr.. Nc
Donald said high school students
who ride the bus through the
WINTER WILL stop using 1t IN the
summer, thereby causing drop in
passengers.
The council voted to urge
President Truman to intervene in
Greenbelt's dispute with the Pub
lie Housing Administration over a
Is per cent increase in rents, ef-
fective in July.
On motion of Councilman
Frank Lastner, it was decided to
write a letter to the White House
regarding: the rent increase and
request that the increase be held
of until a public hearing can be
held. The resolution charged
that the increase would be con-
Itrary to the present administra-
tons national policy to strength
en- rent control. and further
charged that maintenance at
Greenbelt has been neglected.
