New Location On
USR Il Proposed
From LoweIi On RI. TT
TO Noble County Line

Preliminary plans for a new
highway running from Lowell on
Ohio n to a point near Macks-
burg on USR u just south of the
Noble county line are now being
studied by the aerial division of
the Ohio State Highway depart
ment as a part of the proposed
new location of USR q, it has
been announced.
Because plans at the present
time are mostly in the talking
stage" highway department Of
ficials declined TO make any
definite statements.
The proposed highway which
would extend from Lowell in the
area of Cats Creek to Macksburg
is being studied as a route which
would bring the greatest benefit
to motorists. 1t would shorten
the route into Marietta by at
least IL miles.
The division recently acquired
aerial photographs as part of
the study and is now reported
to have a ground crew in the
territory making surveys.
When plans materialize some
time in the future, highway
planners are expected to propose
two more lanes of traffic on Ohio
II between Lowell and Marietta
to handle the expected increase
in traffic.
Later, it is said, they will begin
studies for two more traffic lanes
north from Lowell to Beverly.
The distance from Caldwell to
Marietta is now approximately
"a miles but considered just
one curve after the other.

REP. JOHN Z. HENDERSON
Federal Aid to Education

The White House Conference
on Education has now concluded
its work in meetings at the
Federal level. The recommended
tions it has made will receive
detailed study by the Congress
as it considers legislative meas
ures submitted next January.
The Conference has recon-
mended Federal aid as means
for solving the vital problems
which beset our school systems
today-particularly in the area
Of school construction. On the
matter Of Federal funds for the
operation of schools, delegates to
the Conference divided almost
equally.
Several large questions have
been left unanswered and it is
these issues which will be de-
bated intensely. How much Fed
eral aid is needed and in what
form this aid is to be sought are
but two of these issues. Since it
is automatic that with Federal
funds go at least a measure of
Federal control, another serious
issue is bound to arise as Federal
encroachment threatens another
area which has been traditionally
a local and State matter.
The details of varying points
of view presented by the State
delegations to the Conference
will likewise find expression in
the House and Senate. There is
feeling among many members
of Congress that the call for
Federal aid to education may be
symptomatic of a more far
reaching challenge. That chal-
lenge results from the violent
distortion of the proportion OF
the tax dollar going to the Fed
eral treasury and that which
supports State and local pro.
| grams.
This trend which has grown
over the past two decades, can,
. not be reversed by surrenderine
