To know a little about the
costumes Of Portugal you must
know o little bit about the
geography of the country.
Each part Of Portugal has
its own particular style. Notice

climatic conditions of each
region has a direct influence
on the dress. Brightest colors
are worn by the coastal popu-
lation. Moving inland and up
the mountains one discovers
the clothes become darker.

However, the Maryland-Na-

poses the Federal Governments
avowed intention Of disposing Of
the project by selling the housing
units to individual buyers.
PHA officials state that an act
of Congress declared that a prof.
ect classified as permanent war

to individuals with the present
tenants having first preference.
Last year, the nearby Mary

A tentative route laid out by
the State would pass about mid
way between the Montgomery

the old Baltimore pike (Route -
and follow the general line Of
Riggs road near the District.
The Federal interstate system
calls for a high-standard ex-
pressway between Baltimore and
Washington. but is resisting the
idea of a brand-new route.
Would Keep Present Route
Instead, bureau officials feel
that the existing Baltimore
Washington parkway could be
designated as the approved inter-
state route if the State acquires
control Of the entire parkway so
that trucks can be permitted to
use all Of it
Now. trucks can use the Balti-
more half of the parkway, built
and controlled by the State
Roads Commission. The Wash
ington section, however, was built
by the Federal Government as
a non-truck entrance freeway to
the Capital and is controlled by
the Interior Department.
Actually. the Maryland COM
mission more than a year ago
proposed that the parkway be
designated as the official inter-
state route, but the Bureau of
Public Roads refused to go along
because 1t was a non-truck route.
( At that time, Roads Commits
Gon officials say, they had no
Indication that funds would be
available for a new route. This
possibility was opened by the

year, which would let Federal aid

Maryland is basing its main case
for a new route, however, on
sthe fact that the new law speci-
ned that the interstate system
should be designed to handle

Seen Inadequate by 1875
Mr.. Pritchett commended that
the existing parkway already is
congested-seriously in spots
and that it would be completely
Inadequate" by 1875.
Maryland traffic studies, he
said, show that 1855 traffic be-
tween Washington and Balti-
more was double the l948 volume
and that estimates are that the
1875 volume will be more than
twice the 1855 figure. The
studies, he said, estimate that in
20 years a new expressway would
carry 10000 cars a day, and that
the total Baltimore Washington
traffic will be considerably above
100000 cars.
