Attacks Grow
On Roads Plan
.|nLegis|ature
Both Sides Prepare
More Criticism of
$568 Million Project
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2.-M More
criticism Of the State Road Com
MISSIONS ambitious 12-year
highway program was expected
from both sides of the Legisla-
ture this week, especially in the
Senate.
Individual criticism of the
1858 million program ranged
from its method of financing to
its long-range commitment by
the State. Democratic Floor
Leader Logan said the road COM
missions program presented to
the lawmakers was faulty be-
couse it wasn't specific enough.
II want them to pin down the
exact amount of proposed build
ing county by county," said the
Caroline County delegate. This
should be done either by a per-
centage of the projected total
expenditure or on a per mile
basis within each county"
County Mileage Listed.
The commission presented Mr..
Logan's House Ways and Means
Committee with a percentage
breakdown Of the miles of. road
in each county which would
come under the program. But
the commission doesn't have to
stick to these percentages be-
cause they are not spelled out
in the bills. Mr.. Logan also said
he is going to ask that the pro-
gram be limited to four years
at first. The committee COM
pleted public hearings on the
bills and his holding them for
action until after the budget
is passed.
Mr.. Logan also has asked the
commission and Joseph D.
Buscher. assistant attorney gen.
eral assigned to it, to prepare
an amendment which will specify
the roads on which tolls are to
be charged. They have a study
by an expert engineering firm
on which roads would be suitable
for charging tolls" Mr.. Logan
said. "They should specify which
ones they are going to accept
as such and write them into the
bill relating to revenues. Then
we'll know where we're going"
Gasoline Tax Rise Asked.
It is recommended that the
gasoline tax be raised / cent and
motor vehicle registration fees
increased to help finance the pro-
gram. The engineering firm has
estimated the amount of money
which certain roads could raise
by charging tolls.
Mr.. Logan said if these esti-
mates were included it might be
possible to ease the amount by
which registration fees would
have to be increased. Under
present plans, the fee on ordinary
passenger cars would go up from
SIS to $40.
He said the program was
grossly deficient" as regards
farm-to-market roads in rural
counties. He said he wants in
cluded in the program the
amount Of money to be spent for
such roads in each county. He
also said counties themselves
should be permitted to go ahead
with State money to build UP
farm-to-market roads if neces-
Sary.

The mystery of how an accor-

Both Candidates Add
Strength in Race for
Virginia Governor
BY the Assoeiafed Press

s :
The sides were becoming more
distinct in Virginia's Democratic
primary for governor today as
the two chief contenders counted
new supporters.
Former Representative Tom
Fugate of Lee County became
the latest to indorse the candi-
dacy of Thomas B. Stanley, a
former House colleague of Fu-
gate.
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick Of Arlington meantime,
picked up support from town Of
f1cials at Colonial Beach in West
moreland County.
In other weekend political de-
velopments in the State:
/. Carroll County Democrats
joined two other counties in the
5th district in opposing the i'm
minent congressional candidacy
of Ex-Gov. William Tuck.
g.. William v. Roth, jr., Rad
ford lawyer, was elected presi-
dent of the Young Republican
Federation.
8. Representative Richard Poff
Of Radford assailed military
leaders for lobbying for greater
appropriations.
Senator Fenwick added Mayor
L. D. Costenbader of Colonial
Beach, and also two former
mayors, w. D. Williams and Nor
man Brewington, to his entour-
age. Mr.. Brewington is at pres
ent chairman Of the Westmore-
land County School Board.
George Mason, jr., town attorney
for Colonial Beach, also in
dorsed the Arlington lawmaker.
Mr.. Tuck, the odds-on choice
to succeed Mr.. Stanley as the 5th
districts congressman, ran into
new opposition in Carroll Coun-
ty Saturday where a mass meet
ing of Democrats ratified a mo-
ton instructing delegates to the
district convention mot to vote
for any candidate for Congress
who failed to support the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee last
November"
The district convention, slated
for Danville Saturday, will NOM
mate a successor to Mr.. Stanley.
A special election will be held in
the district April IA.
The motion passed by the Car
roll Democrats was aimed square,
ly at Mr.. Tuck, who refused to
support Gov. Adlai Stevenson for
the presidency. Franklin and
Grayson County Democrats pre-
viouSly took the same stand.
Mr.. Tuck, now practicing law
in South Boston, is assured of
the nomination, however, mas
much as Democratic delegations
in Halifax, Pittsylvania and
Henry Counties, along with the
cities of Danville and Martins
vile, will vote for him.
Representative Poff, one Of the
three Republicans from Virginia
serving their freshman term in
the House, said he has spurned
two invitations to lunch with
military officials at the Defense
Department in Washington.
"I told them I wasn't hungry, +"
he declared.
He said they offered to send

LeafIet Battle Ends
InHandshake al STAGE
Show al Hagerstown

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Mar. 2.
American Legionnaires last
night inspired an unscheduled
prologue and epilogue to the
controversial play staged here by
the United World Federalists.
The prologue developed into
a battle of leaflets between the
Legionnaires and the Federal
lists. The epilogue became an
old-fashioned debate, with a
Legion official shaking the hand
Of Norman Cousins, radio writer
and play participant who had
been attacked by the Legion.
It was an unexpected climax to
"The Myth That Threatens the
World" the stage presentation
through which the UWF argues
for peace through a strengthened
United Nations.
Legion Leafiet Handed Out.
AS the crowd Of 800 filed into
Hagerstown High School audi
forum, members of the Legion
passed out a two-page leaflet
questioning the loyalty OF Mr..
Cousins and other members of
the cast. including novelist Rex
Stout.
Inside the auditorium UWF
members handed the play-goers
a three-page leaflet answering
the charges in the Legion's two
page leaflet.
After the play Daniel H. Burk-
hardt, adjutant for the Legion's
Maryland department, mounted
the stage. He argued against
world government and repeated
some of the leaflets accusations
against Mr.. Cousins, including
the writer's attendance of a 1949
scientific and cultural world con-
ference as Communist-promoted
Then, pointing to the United
Nations flag always displayed in
the high school auditorium, Mr..
Burkhardt asked:
IF this incubator for world
government has cost us untold
millions of dollars and with only
6 per cent of the population
we are paying so per cent of the
price in blood, sweat and tears,
what will we pay for world gov
ernment?"
Sent to Conference.
Mr.. Cousins stepped forward
to defend himself. He attended
the New York conference, he
said, at the request of the State
Department, was Kissed and
booed when he addressed the
conference. and finally had re-
quired a police escort to leave it.
MY real flag is the United
States flag" said Mr.. Cousins,
but some day we must have
something to represent the ban
ner of the human race"
Before stepping off the stage
Mr.. Burkhardt and Mr.. Cousins
shook hands.
The Legion pamphlet noted
that the House Un-American
Activities Committee had re-
corded Mr.. Stout's financial in
terest in the New Masses, a
magazine listed on the Attorney
Generals list of subversive pub
locations.
The UWF leaflet replied that
Mr.. Stout had put up $4,000 in
1925 to help found a magazine
devoted to literature and art.
When the publication became
used to foster political ideas,
Mr.. Stout severed his connection
with it, the UWF said.
Sponsor Withdrew.
Last week Oegion objections to
the play were followed by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce s
withdrawal as sponsor and a
music stores refusal to sell any
more tickets.
Nine prominent Hagerstown
residents defended the right of
the UFW to stage the play. and
the Legion insisted it was object
ing not to the presentation Of
the play, but to the UFW idea
of world government.
