On Interchange al
BaiIeys 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

to start the work, and planned to
put enough money in the new
budget beginning July l to fin
iSh the job.
LeeSbulg 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 f1rehouse. Seminary road
will be completely shut off where
1t 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.

Higher Prices
On All Steel
Products Seen

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 Dr.
Price increases on all major steel
products are Tonly a matter of
time" and steel mill production
is sold out for the first six
months of 1856, the Iron Age,
national Woodworking weekly,
said today.
The magazine said also that
the steel scrap market is run
ming wild" and prices rocketed
to all-time highs this week. It
also reported as follows:
More cutbacks in industrial
production are on the way be-
cause of steel shortages.
THE steel companies need
more money to finance expan-
sion. Higher prices are the most
direct way to get it."
But steel consumers are more
likely to complain about short
supply than higher prices. Most
of them are paying premium
prices anyway through purchases
from brokers or warehouses or
in making conversion deals.
Scrap prices in some areas
have hit $50 and more on the
top melting grade for the first
time in history. The Iron Age
scrap composite jumped $3.50 a
ton to $49.50. compared with the
previous high of $46.15 in 1851.
At least three automobile
companies are deeply involved in
steel conversion deals. a costly
alternative to a showdown in the
production line during a race
with competitors.
1ngots for conversion are hard
to come by and prices from foun-
dries are around 500 a ton.
Conversion deals add roughly $50
to $l00 a ton above the regular
mill price, including normal
freight haulS.
