People.
Chapters composing the Sew

protest the public statements by
elected and political leaders "as
unworthy of the Offices they
hold"
I'VE denounce their action as
contrary to the oaths sworn to
upon induction into Office as
representatives of the people of
Virginia" the NAACP said. I'VE,
therefore. gravely question their
fitness to further serve under an
oath they seemingly have re-
pudiated."
The resolution said there "is
no legal way of violating the law
Of the land" and the advice OF
massive resistance. is I'M
worthy Of the high trust placed
by the people in their elected
officials"

BALTIMORE. April 12.-The
Maryland Roads Commission
today is in possession of pledges
from officials of the States three
most populous counties that
stronger efforts will be made to
utilize coming to hold down
prices of land needed for new
highways.
Commission officials yesterday
reported continuing dissipation
of acquisition funds under the
States l2-year, 1858 million
roads program because the
agency has been forced to buy
land at high prices after tracts
along rights of way were re-
classified from residential to
commercial or industrial use.
In addition, building permits
have been issued by the counties
for construction Of homes in the
path Of projected highways be-
fore SRC had an opportunity to
purchase rights of way along or
through the building sites.
This has resulted in the pur-
chase of completed and partially
completed houses and founda-
tions. officials promised that
the system of reporting requests
for building permits to the SRC
would be frightened to eliminate
such costly occurrences.
Lack of Coordination
The weaknesses of co-ordina-
ton between State and county
groups were aired at a meeting
in the Hotel Emerson here
called by the SRC.
Norman M. Pritchett, chief
engineer for the commission,
said that amidst the rapid
development of Montgomery,
Prince Georges and Baltimore
Counties, there's the danger of
agencies getting so big the right
hand doesn't know what the left
hand is doing"
He said that rights of way
prices can be held down if the
counties would keep in a resi-
dental classification land des-
tined for highway use.
At the same time, he conceded
that in the suburban counties,
there is an increasing tendency

.Mohoney Makes Dent
In Western Maryland

he spoke at a place called Acct
dent, Mr.. Mahoney said. 1.-THE
sad thing about Garrett and
Allegany Counties is that your
husbands. your sons and men,
bers of your families have had
to go to other counties and other
Icities-and sometimes to other
StateS--to find a job"
Seeks New Industry
He promised to work, as a
United States Senator, to bring
industry to Western Maryland.
Employment of just 500 men
in Garrett County would solve
the problem" he told one audi
ence.
Mr.. Mahoney spoke to groups
that had come out of the hills
to hear him. At Hemberston's
Store. for instance, nine country
women waited an hour for his
arrival.
In Deer Park, Mr.. Mahoney
climbed aboard the bed of a
pickup truck to speak to three
dozen destitute coal miners.
Forgotten Men
He referred to each one as
"the forgotten man" in the Ma
tons economy.
Mr.. Mahoney reiterated his
promise to keep my door open"
to all of his constituents If he
is elected to the Senate.
At Kitzmiller, the candidate
found himself campaigning in
West Virginia. The Mahoney
encourage was whisked into
Kitzmiller and before any one
knew it. it had crossed the Po-
tomac River bridge into West
Virginia.
Many OF the male qualified
voters of Garrett County had
congregated in the West Virginia
club.
So the candidate made his
pitch in West Virginia even
though that State has political
troubles of its own in the form
of a guebernatorial campaign.

Tydings Swings Tour
Back to Eastern Shore

yesterday. He has special cam
paign cards for this, showing
him in his World War I uniform
and listing some of his accom-
plishments for veterans during
his "a years in the Senate. Mr..
Tydings enlisted in the Army as
a private during World War l
and rose to be a lieutenant
colonel in machine bun bat
talon.
I'm the only veteran among
the three major candidates." he
said to several veterans he met.
Later, he told reporters that he
considered the three major can
didates to be himself. Mr.. Ma
honey and George Washington
williams. The two other candi-
dates in the race are andrew j..
Easter and Thomas Christian.
One of the Frederick County
leaders accompanying Mr.. Tyd-
ings was Frederick attorney Will
liam NJ. Storm, old World War
buddy from the 29th Division.
Mr.. Storm is co-chairman of
the county campaign along with
James McSherry and has served
in a similar capacity in the
county during all of Mr.. Tyd-
ings' previous campaigns.
Also with the party at vari-
Gus times yesterday were
Thomas S. Glass. Frederick at
torney: j. William Brosius. jr.,
Frederick builder and Irving
Ephraim. Brunswick merchant.
Mr.. Tydings was encouraged
with his reception in Frederick
County, which appears to be a
toss-up at this stage. One Of
his hackers predicted that the
jut-jawed former senator would
win Frederick by a chin"
