Roads Officials
Ponder Move
For 14OLink
Wire to Planners
Points Up Issue
OF Jurisdiction
By George Beverage

The Maryland Roads Commits
sion pondered its next step to-
day, after contesting a new move
by the National Capital Planning
Commission to block extension Of
q. s.. Route 240 to the East-West
highway.
The planners move was made
two days ago in conditionally
approving plans submitted by
roads officials for the design Of
the inter-county belt road in
Rock Greek Park east Of Wis
consin avenue.
While going along with the
belt road design, the planners
rejected a proposal that the belt
road outside the park be con-
nected to a second roadway lead
ing to the EaSt-WeS highway.
Jurisdiction Challenged.
Maryland Roads Commissioner
Russell H. Mccain, after an all
day meeting Of his group yes
terday, fired this wire back to
the Federal planners:
IF press release of your reso-
luton of yesterday dealing with
inter-county beltway is correct,
we cannot concur with excep-
lions designated as A, B and C,
as these three sections involve
areas outside of park lands,
where full jurisdiction is vested
in the State of Maryland.
'We believe plans submitted
are in full accord with your prior
commitments. ! am authorized
to state that these views are
unanimously concurred in by the
members Of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission"
FOresaw Approval.
Roads officials told a reporter
they have believed since last
November that they had the
planners approval for the pro-
posed road network. so long as
Route 24O itself did not actually
pass through the park.
It was understood no de-
cision was reached on what the
roads group should do next, or
on whether it should do any,
thing until the planners have a
chance to see the telegram sent
yesterday.
There was unanimous agree
ment, however, that the COM
mission should get itself firmly
on the record to both the pub
lie and the planners that it is
"in no way acquieScing" to the
conditions voted by the planners,
it was learned.
No Reaction by Planners.
There was no immediate re-
action from the planning COM
mission on the telegram.
The belt road plans, mean
while, probably will be taken to
Federal Court early next week
as evidence in a suit brought
by property owners who live near
the park involved. They con-
test legality of such a load as
violation of park uses.
Judge Matthew M. MCGUIRE
of the u. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia recently
said he was unable to rule on
the issue until detailed plans
were submitted, showing how
the road wouldAaffect the park.
Lawyers for the two parties
had arranged to meet in the
Federal Courthouse yesterday,
but conflicting court appearances
by a Government attorney pre-
vented it.

'The timing is not hurt any,

Hollywood Resented?
Most of the songs that he

Donald was too out Of breath

"Some viewers used to write
in and tell me they liked
watching me try to catch
my breath for the curtain
speech, so I suppose you
could call this spontaneity on
live show" he comments.
It seems a fairly safe guess
by now that what steam there
is behind the drive for more
live" video programs is being
generated by a forlorn little
industry group who resent
TVS continuing swing toward
Hollywood.
The word Hollywood" has

group, el1battled along Madi-

worrying over the fact that
some day they will have to
