Work 10 Start in June
On Interchange at
Bai|eys Cross Roads

The Virginia State Highway
Department plans to begin con-
struction this June on a new
traffic interchange at Baileys
Cross Roads, which long has
been one of Fairfax County's
most congested intersections.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, member Of
the Fairfax Board of County Su-
pervisors, disclosed that the high
way department had 100000
available in this years budget
to start the work, and planned to
put enough money in the new
budget beginning July l to fin
ish the job.
Leesbuig pike, Columbia pike
and Seminary road now inter-
sect at Bailey's Cross Roads. All
are two-lane roads at the inter-
section, although Leesburg pike
is a four-lane divided highway
in both directions north and
south of the intersection. CO.
lumbia pike is a four-lane road
beginning a short distance east
of the intersection.
The new interchange will
eliminate Seminary road alto
gether from the intersection. It
is to be connected to Leesburg
pike near the Bailey's Cross
Roads firehouse. Seminary road
will be completely shut off where
it now enters the big intersec-
ton.
Leesburg pike and Columbia
pike each will be widened into
five lanes at the intersection.
The various lanes are to be di-
vided by islands and cement
strips, with the center lane Of
each pike reserved as a storage"
lane for left-turn traffic.

List Of Flower Show Winners. Pose G.

LIST or fIowef SnoW winners. ro9e ~ to
tators had made the rounds of
the scores of displays of flowers
and plants, occupying virtually
all of the floor space Of the
National Guard Armory.
Judging of dozens more OF
flower arrangements was to be
resumed today. The show will
run through next Wednesday.
Mrs. Richard M. Nixon, wife
of the Vice President. officially
opened the show at 2 pm, not
long after pre-show judging for
winners of five trophies offered
by The Star had been held.
Smartly clad in a small pow
der blue hat and dark suit. Mrs.
Nixon shipped the ceremonial
ribbon to the tune of a brass
band and the applause of hun

| fanciers.
Crowds Pour In
Immediately afterWard, the
, crowds poured into the huge
Armory and continued to grow
through the afternoon and eve
ming. 1t was the biggest open
ing-day attendance of all five
shows.
Mrs. Nixon spent nearly an
hour touring the scores of ex-
hibits under escort of Mrs,
Frederick w. Lang, garden clubs
chairman, and Bertrand G. Nc
Gihniss, general chairman of the
show.
"It's dazzling" Mrs. Nixon ex-
claimed at one point.
She said she particularly ad-
mired the flower arrangement
section of the show.
II guess I like flower arrange
ments because I'm not very good
at it," she explained. I'm really
better with flower gardens, and
believe I actually have a green
thumb"
The only apparent hitch to the
show was the development of
cracks in the huge 25-jet CEN
trail pool of the show. The show
management said the cracks, ap-
parently caused by the vibration
of heavy trucks which had been
rolling across the Armory floor,
will be fixed by opening time to-
day and that the fountains
should be going full blast by
that time.
Bewildering Variety
Another less serious problem
arose when the management
found that a dozen baby ducks
especially purchased for the
show had insufficient feathers to
keep them from sinking when
they were placed in one Of the
big display pools. None of the
ducklings drowned.

Roads Probe Bill
Fails in Annapolis,
But Remains Issue
By the Asseeicted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. l1.-A pro-
posed investigation of the State
Roads Commission has failed
for a second time to clear the
Senate but still burned as a
lively issue in the General AS
sembly.
Democratic leaders indicated
they weren't giving up the idea
of pushing through a bill which
has been buffeted around by the
Senate for more than a month.
And a group of House Demo-
Gratis, impatient with Senate
stalling, launched their own
measure for a study of the SRC.
The Senate bill calling for a
$50, 900 study by the Legislature
of SRC practices fell one vote
short for a second time of get
ting a constitutional majority
primarily because Senator Della,
Democrat, of Baltimore, who
had Endorsed it before, was alb
sent yesterday.
Gone to Florida
Senator Della's associates said
he had flown to Florida for a
meeting of an insurance firm
board of which he is member.
The vote on final passage was
1913 after Senator Turnbull, at
the last minute, switched his
vote to those of the opponents
for what he termed obvious
reasons"
BY voting on the side of the
majority he can have the bill
reconsidered within two legis-
lative days. He said afterward
he would bring it up again per-
haps today. if he can have Della
on hand.
Would Hire Consultants
The House bill, sponsored by
five Democrats. would have the
roads commission investigated by
the Fiscal Research Bureau in
stead of a committee of legis-
lators. 1t would provide $4,000
to hire consultants to do the job.
They would concentrate their
study on the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge, the Baltimore Harbor
tunnel project and the 12-year
roads program.
The harbor tunnel, not part of
the 12-year program, has been
key issue in a call for the roads
commission study. Since last
years gubernatorial campaign
Democrats have complained
about 71a per cent fees paid for
acquiring land and the hiring of
a former SRC member to help
acquire these rights of way.

North American Newspaper Alliones

A large-size political ruckus is
in the making in the Post Office
Department.
1t has been learned that the
department is planning to sell
several hundred sites for pros
pective post Offices. These sites
were acquired under an act Of
the 81st Congress that authorized
buying at least one such site in
each of 435 congressional dis
tricts.
Under the plan, the Post Office
Department would declare the
sites surplus" They then
would be turned over to General
Services Administration for dis
posal or sale.
No accurate figures could be
obtained as to precisely how
many sites have been bought
under this program. But it must
run easily into the hundreds.
Lawmakers Informed
A number of members of Con-
gress have been told fatty that
sites in their districts will be de-
clared surplus. This sad word
was passed along, in several in
stances, by former Representa-
tive C. w. Bishop, Republican,
of Illinois, now a liaison official
for the Post Office Department.
One who got the advance word
from Mr.. Bishop is Representa-
tive Rains. Democrat. of Ala
bama. and the ALBANIAN is
burned up. They went to lot
of trouble to locate and buy the
best site they could find in Ala
bama City," said Mr.. Rains.
There is no question but that
the site is worth at least twice
as much today as when it was
acquired. If we lose this site,
it will be a long, long time in
deed before we can ever have
any hopes of getting the new
post Office that is needed and
has been promised"

Mr.. Bishop defended the dis
posal plan as good business"
Eve are trying to get the
Government out of business
wherever it !: practical to do
So" he said. Many of these
sites are no longer feasible for
post Offices. The situations have
changed, and other types of sites
OR no sites at all-are needed"
The real fireworks will start
when the Post Office Department
actually gets around to declaring
the sites surplus"
