true the planners would have no
authority over roads outside the
park. But he said the groups
aim was not to permit Route
240 traffic to drop southwark
toward the District section of
Rock Greek Park.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, said he
viewed the action only as having
no objection to the Route 240
leg terminating at the belt
road" through a connection "at
or west of Wisconsin avenue"
RemOn Sees No Change.
Member John A. Remon said
he feels the action represents
mo change" in the commission
attitude. 1t previously has ap-
proved the belt road and op-
posed the 240 leg.
The planners letter was read
to Mr.. Mccain by Star re-
porter last night. He said he
was confused" by it and pre-
ferred to make no comment
until he can study it Monday
and try to determine its mean
ing.
At yesterdays conference,
meanwhile, officials of the roads
commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission contended fast
action is needed on the Route
240 and belt road projects to
hold down expenses.
Norman Pritchett, roads COM
mission location engineer. said
homes under construction at one
point might add 100000 within
the next 80 days to land acquisi-
ton costs.
Donald E. Gingery, a member
of the Maryland planning body,
said considerable private devel-
opment is being held up on the
planned route. but can't be held
off indefinitely. He added:
Were not calling wolf The
wolf is here now.''
Sees Alternative.
If the Route 240 project is
held up, he said, it probably
will have to go not through a
measly 5000 feet of park but
through all of the park from
Wisconsin avenue to the East
West highway"
Wilson Ballard of the roads
commissions consulting firm of
Ballard & Knoerle, contended
increased traffic volumes make
the eventual extension of Route
240 into downtown Washington
a necessity. He said about 10000
cars a day crossed the District
line between Silver Spring and
the Potomac River to the west
when his firm began the Route
240 studies. The volume now
is over 100000 and will exceed
100000 in IL to Is years. he said.
His partner, Joseph Knoerle,
predicted that 100000 cars will
cross the District line daily by
1880 and said additional express
ways to downtown Washington
will be needed.
At one point Planning Com
mission Chairman Harland Bar
tholomew said it might be we'll
for the road builders and plan
ners to study the whole prob
lem" of traffic crossing the
District line rather than to ap-
proach it piecemeal.
Mr.. Mccain said he would like
to cooperate in any such study,
but he urged that he mot be
put in the position of unneces-
Sary delay" on either the inter-
county belt or Route 240 projects.
He said Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties pre-
sented the most difficult highway
problems in the State and noted
that $3.50 million of the $568
million in Maryland's 12-year
road program is devoted to those
two counties.

lection of one candidate over an

cratic or Republican admins
tration
Gov. Battles speech originated
over Roanoke Radio Station
WDBJ. in Mr.. Dalton's home
district.
Mr.. Battle said, IF you be-
Ieve that we who are now in
office have mate an honest and
sincere effort to give clean, sound
and efficient government =.
then you have the privilege
and responsibility-of so express
ing yourselves at the polls"
Road Plan Attacked.
Gov. Battle also hammered
away, as other Democratic or
ganization leaders have done, at
Mr.. Dalton's revenue bond plan
for financing road improvements.
Mr.. Stanley's statement, de-
voted almost solely to criticism
OF the plan, said he found that
Mr.. Dalton'S plan "if amortized
over period of 331s years at an
interest rate of 3 per cent :"
would cost Virginia $57,510,O0O
in interest.
My opponent" Mr.. Stanley
said, would have the people be-
lieve that the State could issue
$1OO million in special revenue
bonds and pay for them out of
gasoline tax without increasing
taxes >. but don't be fooled :. :"
The interest on the bonds, Mr..
Stanley said. would go a long
way toward improving our
roads"
Mr.. Dalton accused the Demo-
cratic Party leadership of telling
only part of the story Ehen they
criticized his road plan. Further
more. he said. he would agree to
recommend that his proposal be
submitted to a referendum.
He said Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat. of Virginia. and ex-Gov-
er1or Tuck wouldn't tell the
voters that the Dalton road plan
would have to approved by the
legislature. And Mr.. Dalton said
they knew it we'll.
Truck Tax Dodging Denied.
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond. also a candidate for
reelection, said Mr.. Dalton's
Thursday night assertion that
big truckers were lodging the
State gasoline tax sis as incor-
rect as it is irresponsible.
He said a provision of the
law made the truckers eager to
comply to avoid extra taxation
as a penalty.

-"I am of the opinion that
the interest Of national security
might be best served at this time
by resolving the important
questions of law and policy in
volved in that (oil) investigation
in the context of civil litigation

However, I believe that this
would be the case only If the

production of documentary ma
terial which the companies are
required to produce under an
existing order of court based on
grand jury Subpoenas.
Consequently, I ask that you
promptly confer with represent

tain If they will agree to enter
into a stipulation to that effect.
If they will, T ask that q civil
proceeding be instituted accord
ingly and that appropriate steps

Republican. Of Ohio say they will
ask Congress tomorrow for a

can soldiers in Korea.
Atrocity reports, frequent dur
ing the early days of the Korea
fighting. grew more numerous
after Communist China's entry,
but few have been made recent
~.
Mr.. Sheehan recalled that Gen
Matthew B. Ridgway, former

that approximately 5000 United
States military personnel have
been reported killed as war
crimes victims"
Observers Barred at Camps.

UP to July 20. 1851.
Mr.. Sheehan said the inquiry
would attempt to determine what
has been happening in Com

which neutral observers have
been barred.
He suggested one reason for
the deadlock in truce talks was
that perhaps the Communists
would not be able to account
for all Americans they have
taken prisoner and are, there
fore. reluctant to conclude an
armistice which might reveal
that atrocities have occurred"
