Alabama State Planning Board
and president of the Association
of State Planning and Develop
ment Agencies, called on all per-
sons to take an active part in
local. national and international
planning.
Mr.. Dobbins said all citizens
should become political philoso-
pliers. He said it is only through
an active participation in polit-
ical planning by all persons that
we will be able to build a world
free of war.
In a panel discussion of high
way planning. led by Mrs. Robert
S. Pickens, chairman of the LOU
doun County Planning Commits
sion, Burton Marye. jr., assistant
chief engineer for the Virginia
Highway Department, said the
lack of proper restrictions on
roadside developments has cost
the State millions of dollars in
new highway construction.
Tells of Nearby Plans.
Mr.. Marye praised Arlington
County's highway safety record
and said plans are now complete
and work is expected to begin
within the year on six-lane over
pass on Lee boulevard at the in
tersection of Glebe road. A six
lane highway eventually will be
constructed from Seven Corners to
the Pentagon network. Mr.. Marye
said.
He described the Glebe road in

failing to make use of nearly 4
acres of potential grass
land and is falling far short Of
making full use of her farm mar
keting potential. He said her farm
land, now producing only one ami
NAL unit to every four acres,
should produce one unit to each
two acres.
Water Planning Cited.
Mr.. Birchfield stressed the i'm
portance of individual participa-
ton in local and regional water
resources planning. He said a
proposed survey for pollution
abatement in the Virginia COM
munities near Washington is an
example of cooperative COM
munity planning that may lead
to the permanent correction OF
the pollution problem at a SUBJ
stantial saving to residents of the
area.
DR.. Stow and Mr.. Dean empha-
sized the Importance of geological
and forestry development to the
use of the States natural re-
sources.

MckeIdin Talk
On Chambers
Governor Says They
Aren't Doing Enough
To Get New Industry
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. May 22.-Gov.
McKeldin's assertion that he can't
daily ito salve the pride of any
Chamber of Commerce" while
Western Maryland suffers from
unemployment was quickly chal-
lenged today.
The Governor told the 45th an
nual convention of the Maryland
and District of Columbia Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday that "some
Chambers of Commerce in West
ern Maryland were quite upset"
at his proposal to establish a
bureau of industrial development.
II am in favor Of Chambers Of
Commerce and the purpose for
which they are established" he
said. But I cannot close my
eyes to the fact that many men
and women are out of work and
some of their families are in want
while their home areas are sur
rounded by prosperity and plenty"
Says Action Must Be Quick.
"I would like to close my eyes
but only for a moment. I would
like to open them again and find
that the Chambers of Commerce
were doing an effective job of
bringing new industries into their
communities.
But we can't wait for that.
We must act quickly to do what
we can. cannot wait to salve
the pride of any Chamber of
Commerce.
First to voice his reaction was
Howard w. Smith, manager of the
Cumberland Chamber of Com
merce.
1.-THE Chamber Chere) has taken
no action one way or the other,"'
Mr.. Smith said, "in reference to
the establishment of a State
agency to develop industry
in the area.
"At the time when the COM
mittee from the Maryland Legis-
lative Council visited Cumberland.
Joseph M. Maughton. president of
the Chamber, advocated a pro-
gram by which the State would
increase its activities in attract
ing industry to Maryland.
mo agency has done more in
this section of the State to at
tempt to develop industry than
the Cumberland Chamber of
Commerce. The Industrial Pro-
motion Co. has been organized
and Richardson Wood of New
York has been employed to get
new industries into Cumberland.
The company was organized
with the cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor
and City Council, Allegany County
commissioners and other civic
groups"
Resistance Recalled.
David Kaufman, chairman of
the Steering Committee for Eco
nomic Development in Allegany
County, said he thought the Gov
ernor's remarks stemmed from
resistance to proposed State bu-
reau for industrial DEVELOPMENT
and commerce suggested at the
last two sessions of the Legisla-
ture.
HeA said this proposed legisla-
ton was fought by several groups,
including representatives of the
Baltimore Association of Com
|merce."
cumberland indorsed in prin-
|ciple this type of legislation" Mr..
Kaufman added. "We hope that
political questions and hidden mo-
|tives which frustrated passage of
this proposed legislation will not
be similarly active in opposing
legislation which will be intro
|duced again at the next session" 4"
