Jury TO Study
Superhighway
Access Issue
Will Hear Protest
By Prince Georges
Farmers Thursday

A Prince Georges County grand
jury plans to investigate the
problem of access to new super
highway-type roads in the
county. it was learned today.
Dr. T. B. Symonds, 74-year-old
former acting president of the
University of Maryland, who is
the grand jury foreman. said the
jury expects to hear from a dele
cation of farmers in the Clinton
area on Thursday.
Farmers "Up Against It."
He said the problem of too
: few access roads leading to ex-
pressways built or under con-
struction in the county "has
some of the farmers up against
1t, I am told"
"They tell me they would have
to travel IA miles to get on the
new roads in some cases." DR..
Symonds said.
The grand jury then will
ask representatives of the State
Roads Commission to y appear
before it to explain the access
road situation, he said.
The access road investigation,
he added. is merely one of the
subjects the grand jury plans
to take up, using its broad au-
thority to check into the opera
ton Of local governmental
agencies.
Other Studies Planned.
DR.. Symonds said committees
of the grand jury, which he said
he will appoint Thursday, also
will look into the county Jail
and health department facili-
ties. described as "overcrowded"
in a report by the April grand
jury.
The jury finished its first
week of deliberation Friday by
returning so indictments after
hearing 122 cases, according to
States Attorney Carlyle j. Lam
caster.
DR.. Symonds said the Thurs
day session will be a short one.
Then, he added, the grand jury
will reconvene December to
hear further presentments by
the States attorney and to frame
reports based on the investiga-
tion of its committees.
