Washington Parkway east of
Langley.
Also included is a section pro-
posed to be built between Lang
ley Fork and the parkway. The
total length of the project is
about five miles.
Continued studies Of the route
west of Langley indicated that
several alternate lines should be
investigated. including bypasses
east and west of Mclean, the
department said. These proposed
locations will be discussed at the
hearing.
Highway engineers said funds
are available only for the section
between the Parkway and Lang
ley Future ALLEGATIONS will be
necessary to complete four lanes
between Chain Bridge and the
extended Parkway.
Plans for improvement Of the
route are co-ordinated with the

PosshoIders Were Many
There were an estimated $4,000
paying customers on the opening
day although the total attendance
ranged upwards to 100000, includ-
ing those who held free passes.
Because of conditions on opening
day, thousands of potential visitors
postponed their trip to Norfolk and
then got out of the notion of going
altogether. 1t was not until Sep
TENDER tor early October that the
exposition really was complete. and
by then it was too late to recapture
the lost opportunity for the crowds
that might have made the affair a
financial success.
Instead Of increasing, gate re-
ceipts actually declined. BY Mo-
vember 80, when the exposition
closed. the venture had an indebt-
edness OF $1,785,o0O, including
$887.000 owed to the United States
Government.
Bankruptcy proceedings were in
stituted subsequently and the ex-
position holdings were put UP for

cause "the beautiful grass plots

is now the worlds largest naval

history. more men than women are

But the danger that makes Tv
men quail most is the threat to the

Whether they planned 1t this way
or not. the Hollywood producers
have come along at the right time
with a most potent weapon against
their old foes.
They sell their films, in most
cases, directly to local television
