500 Traffic Experts
To Hear Reports on
Maryland Road Test

More than 600 traffic experts
here today were to hear the re-
port on Southern Maryland road
test of the effects of heavy trucks
on concrete highways.
The group is attending the 3Oth
annual meeting of the Highway
Research Board of the National
Research Council, which opened
yesterday in the National Acad-
emy of Sciences Building, 2101
Constitution avenue NV. The
sessions will continue until Friday.
Fred Burggraf, project chair
man, Asrael Taragin, project en-
gineer and Earl c. Sutherland, in
charge of tests, were to submit
the report at a general session OF
the conference.
Tested Six Months.
For six-month period ended
last December %, 1.1-mile
stretch of pavement on Route 301
near La Plata. Md. was subjected
to around-the-clock traffic Of
eight trucks, carrying varying
loads. During the period, the
trucks travelled 365,oO0 miles,
while tests were made on the
pavement and the subsoil base.
The group yesterday split up for
separate meetings On topics that
included traffic and operations,
designs and materials, frost ac-
ton in soils, economies and road
side development.
Delagtes heard James B. Hutton,
jr., of the Bureau of Public Roads
here, urge State legislatures to in
sert clauses in express highway
dedication acts, denying to prop
erty-owners any right Of acess
to the road.
Cites Court Decisions.
Mr.. Hutton warned that in
many States abutting property
owners have been awarded dam
ages by the courts for being de-
MED access to expressways. He
pointed to the common law which
recognizes public pathways and
pedestrian streets that deny ac-
cess to autos as grounds for free
ing the States Of having to pay
damages to abutting property
owners.
Expressways, which are built for
their high-speed advantage, are
threatened by the demand for ac-
cess Of not only those who want
to enter it at any point but also
by those who would like to erect
hot-dog stands or filling stations,
Mr.. Hutton said.
Carl Feiss, chief of the Com
munity Planning Branch of the
Housing and Home Finance Agen-
cy, emphasized that "cities are for
people, not for autos"
Mr.. Feiss said slum clearance
and redevelopment projects are
producing better parking facili-
ties and improved roads. He urged
greater cooperation between ur-
ban highway planners and urban
redevelopment leaders.
Notes Action by Cities.
Under the Housing Act of
1949." Mr.. Feiss said, "the Gov
ernment set aside 81 billion for
loans and another half billion for
grants-in-aid for slum clearance
projects"
He noted that many cities, such
as Paterson. N. j., and Chicago,
are building municipal parking
facilities with the aid of such
loans.
However" Mr.. Feiss explained
"cities cannot draw up on these
funds for city or parking units
alone They must fit into an over
all general plan of redevelop-
ment."
AS an example of slum clear

New Call for Inquiry in State Department Gets Mixed Reaction

A renewed call for an inquiry
into charges of disloyalty in the
State Department brought re-
action of approval plus some skep-
ticism among Senators today.
The idea Of an investigation
was advanced again last night by
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts, who has been try
ing for over year to have Con-
|gress create a bipartisan COM
mission to look thoroughly into
accusations against department
employees.
He first made his proposal early
in 1850 after Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin. had
charged that Communists and
fellow-travelers were infesting the
State Department. Senator Lodge
said the inquiry conducted by a
Senate Foreign Relations subcom-
mittee was superficial and in
conclusive"
In calling anew for a BIZ
partisan commission, Senator
Lodge said he will insist that the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee consider his plan when Con-
gress reconvenes in January. The
Massachusetts, Senator has intro
duced a bill to establish the in
quiry group he has in mind.
"Such an investigation" he
said, will result in cleaning out
of the outfit and in ending any
lunjustif1ed suspicion of the many
fine men and women who work In
the State Department"
! Senator Gordon, Republican, OF
Evening star., 1951-11-08

| Oregon said the inquiry Senator
Lodge proposed "has always been
in order and would be a fine thing
although ! doubt you would get
much cooperation from the
executive department OF the Gov
lernment."
Senator Gordon said there
should be advance assurances II
you could get them"-that Presi-
dent Truman would open loyalty
files to an investigation group.
Senator Ecton, Republican, of
Montana said the State Depart
ment ought to welcome an inquiry,
"but it probably wouldn't" He
added that "the American people
are entitled to the facts"
Senator Olin D. Johnston, Dem
locrat, Of South Carolina declared
he isn't opposed to an investiga-
tion. but doubts that one is neces-
sary or would accomplish much
lgood.

mission would have unassailable

clared. Nothing less will suffice. +"
Senator Lodge was a member OF
the Foreign Relations Subcom-
mittee which investigated Sena-
tor McCarthy's charges last year.
The Democrats on that unit con-
cluded the charges were "a fraud
and hoax" Senator Mccarthy
called it a "whitewash." Senator
Lodge said Senator Mccarthy had
not proved his principal charges,
but that the inquiry only skinned
the surface.

shady procedures by lawyers ad-
