The Annapolis bypass, the ap-
proach to the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge without going through
|. the narrow streets of Maryland's
capital, is slowly being trans
formed from blueprints into re-
ality.
It will be completed toward
the end of 1854 but by June Is
of this year it will be possible
to get around Annapolis using
temporary roads and the new
81 million Severn River Bridge,
which will be completed at that
time.
Most Washingtonians don't
realize it, but there is a new
road to Annapolis, a superhigh-
way already in use. Unfortu-
nately, it only comes about one
third of the way to Washington
and its completion will be some
where In the indefinite future.
But there is no reason for not
using what there is OF it.
How to Get to It.
Most of the traffic between
Washington and Annapolis uses
Route SO (the Defense highway
or Route 2l4 Central avenue) .
The new highway lies between
these two routes from Route 301
(Crain highway to Parole, Nd,
2 miles west of ANNAPOLIS.
The motorist bound for An
napolis on the Defense high
way should turn to the right
instead of to the left when he
gets to 301. About 2 miles south,
he will come to an >overpass and
clover leaf, which is the ter
minus of the new road. When
he goes up on it he finds himself
travelling on a no-access, high
speed, dual highway as good as
the New Jersey turnpike. The
only trouble is there is not
enough of it. After clocking off
almost II miles he comes to the
end of the pavement where a
bridge is being constructed over
the Defense highway at Parole.
At present he has to go down
on the old Defense highway and
drive into Annapolis on West
street, a narrow street with cars
parked on both sides and fire.
quent traffic lights. After June
Is the motorist will be able to
avoid this. He will be directed
to turn back toward Washing
ton for a quarter Of a mile to
Cars Corner. There he will
turn right on the Generals
highway, right on Best Gate
road, right on Ridgely avenue
and left on the new highway
again about mile to the Severn
River Bridge.
Prison labor soon will be
widening these streets and
eliminating unnecessary grades.
It undoubtedly still will be
something of a bottleneck, espe-
cially on Sunday nights when
every one is trying to get back
to Washington from the Eastern
Shore II but it will be better
than going through Annapolis.
The dual highway from the
east end of the new Severn River
Bridge to the intersection Of the
Revell and Ritchie highways, q
distance less than a mile, will
be completed by that time.
The Ritchie highway is the
dual road between Baltimore
and Annapolis. The Revell high
way is a dual road that connects
it with the bay bridge, a dis
tance of about 5 miles. At
their intersection, the Maryland
Roads Commission is building a
three-level interchange with
loops to take care Of traffic going
in any direction.

Case Would Permit
DC. Heads 10 Decide
On Daylight Saving

Senate statesmen are faced
this week with the perennial
question Of whether to indicate
a preference for the voteless
COWS back home or the voteless
taxpayers in Washington.
It's spring and therefore the
season to decide what to do
about daylight saving time for
the District.
Chairman Case Of the Senate
District Committee will intro
duce a bin which should make
it easier for farm-conscious
members Of Congress to permit
the adoption Of fast-time sum-
mer schedules in the Capital.
His measure would give the
District Commissioners perma-
nent authority to order daylight
saving time here under two con-
ditions: first, If Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and New York-or any
two of them-adopt it; and Sec
ond, if the Commissioners find
1t necessary for the promotion

ence and necessity of the resi-
dents Of the District"

Committee weighed the question
Of 1858 daylight saving time for
Washington and came up with

answer: Nothing doing. But no.
body expected that to be the
final action; it will be brought
up again.
Commissioner r. Joseph Dom
ohue, the Democrat who expects
to be replaced at almost any
moment, criticized House mem
bers for their stand in a radio
talk last night. He said the
Representative voting against
fast time showed little consid-
Grafton for the District resi-
dents. He commented:
NEARLY a million non-farm-
ing and non-voting residents of
the wholly urban District d.
were not given much considera-
ton by the elected representa-
tives of the farmers on Thurs
day when they, acting as the
city council for the District, de-
cided we who live there and want
daylight time should not have it. :"
No Difference to Cow.
He added:
From a purely local point of
view, it doesn't make any diff
ference to cow in Illinois what
time it is in the District"
Mr.. Donohue said he and his
fellow Commissioners would
meet tomorrow to discuss the
next step in the fight to get
daylight time this summer. He
said he felt a letter to the House
District Committee, asking re-
consideration, and to Chairman
Case of the Senate District
Committee was in. order.
Case Indicates Action.
The House unit voted down a
bill to authorize daylight time.
Senator Case has indicated he
will introduce a measure which
would permit the Commissioners
to establish daylight time in the
city without coming back to
Congress each year.
Mr.. Donohue said he advocates
the case proposed for. permanent
authority for commissioners to
decide on daylight time. He
pointed out it would save Con-
gress lot of time each year if
it didn't have to debate this
question endleSSly.
Mr.. Donohue said if WASH
ington didn't get daylight time,
confusion would be the result
since the rest of the East prob
ably would. He said it especially
would be confusing in the radio
and television industry and in

Autos to Get Temporary Route
Around Annapolis in June

completion on September Is,
1854. In the meantime, traffic
will skirt it. using the outside
ramps now under construction.
It took 80 months to build the
$44 million bay bridge, and why
work on the approaches now
going on was not done during
that period is hard to explain.
The usual reasons given by
spokesmen for the Roads Com
mission is that they didn't have
the money. The bridge was A.
nanced by a bond issue. This
work is being financed by appro-
priations.
When the bridge was opened,
it was available to Baltimore mo-
torists by modern dual highways.
One can't escape the conclusion
that taking care of the WASH
ington motorist is, less important.
The Washington population has
no political power in Maryland.
If the Annapolis bottleneck had
been between Baltimore and the
bridge. the situation probably
would have been corrected by the
time the bridge was opened.
It will be years before Wash
ington has a dual highway to
the bridge. The new Route so,
the superhighway described, ends
at Route 301, and between it and
Washington are open fields. No
land has been acquired for COM
pletion of the road, which is to
run IL miles to the Kenilworth
interchange, where the new Bal
timore = Washington expressway
also will enter the Capital.
Some survey work has been
done, and plans for overpasses,
cloverleafs and bridges across
streams are under preparation
in the commissions Offices in
Baltimore. The estimated cost
is $10.2 million.
Has "High Priority"
The best that Russell Mccain
chairman of the Maryland Road
Commission, can say about pre-
dieting its completion is that ii
has "high priority" in the first
four years of the 12-year $56S
million program now before the
Legislature. If the program
doesn't go through, completion
Of this highway just isn't in
sight.
Another glance at the map
will show that the present termi-
nus of the highway at Route
301 serves a Maryland purpose.
It provides tolls for the Mary
land Road Commissions Po-
tomac Bridge. Most traffic using
the section Of the new highway
already opened is out-of-State.
Automobile clubs are advising
their members to use it.
Southbound motorists using
the New Jersey turnpike and the
Delaware Bridge can avoid all
cities, including the Baltimore
bottleneck, by going down the
Eastern Shore to the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge and down 301 to the
Potomac Bridge.
Oppose Controlled Roads.
There has been political resist
ance to limited-accesS highways
in Maryland, Mr.. Mccain says.
especially from property owners
on 301 through Charles County,
which has become an Ell Dorado
for motels. They have been as
sured that the commission has
no intention Of making that
area limited access when the

Darden Declares
Democrats Must
Take Middle Road
BY the Assoeioted Press

BY the ASSoeioted Press
RICHMOND, Mar. 21.-Col-
gate w. Darden, jr., tonight told
fellow Democrats the conserva-
tive SouthernerS and the ma
tional party liberals would have
to tend toward a middle road
together if they expected the
Democratic Party to march
back to Washington.
In an address prepared for de-
livery at a Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner here. the former
Governor-now president Of the
University of Virginia - re-
counted the turbulent history of
the Democratic Party, diagnosed
its November illness and offered
a prescription for the future. :
Many Democrats who voted
for President Eisenhower were
in the audience to hear the first
public post-election analysis by
a man prominently identified
with the conservative State
party organization.
And Mr.. Darden, making his
first public political speech in six
years. hailed Adlai Stevenson, the
defeated Democratic presidential
nominee, as a man gallant and
distinguished" and one who, per-
haps, had charted a proper course
Of action.
''Must Exert Ourselves"
1--WE must exert ourselves, if I
may quote from a recent article
by the gallant and distinguished
nominee Of a party" Mr.. Darden
said, Ito find the true balance
between security and freedom,
between initiative and anarchy,
between tolerance and conform
ity, to organize vast patience and
understanding for the peaceful
resolution of our conflicts, to
communicate the material and
spiritual goals Of life by the
examples of a superior system
Of self-management and self
discipline. These are the task of
democratic craftsmanship in our
times"
"But these-as Mr.. Stevenson
so wisely observed-'are tasks
for adults not children; for
reason. not emotion; for faith not
fear" Former Gov. Darden's
address was q scholarly appraisal
Of the Democratic Party's prob
lens and how they grew rather
than any strongly partisan
oration aimed at the Republicans
on the theme Of throw the
raScals out"
Right Of Dissent
He saw the bolt of Virginia and
other Southern States from their
traditional place in the Demo-
cratic fold as an expression of
"the right Of effective dissent"
which had long been denied them
in national party councils"
"And there is no doubt in my
mind but that both parties will
be stronger as a result and the
Nation better governed" he
added.
In spite Of the mild dose Of
two-partyism Virginia took last
November (Gen. Eisenhower and
three G. o. P. Congressman were
elected), Mr.. Darden said he
thought it was doubtful the Re-
publican Party could attract
enough conservative independ-
ents and Democrats to take
over the State in the near future.
Greatest Guardian.
But" he added, ut will be
fatal for us to overlook the fact
that it is well on the way toward
becoming a virile organization in
its own right"

ever in the hue and cry for a
bipartisan foreign policy" he
said. "It is dangerous-doubly

intentions behind it. It will
