BOMB SCARE SENDS
300 EMPLOYEES OUT

NORFOLK. Va. May 3
(R.--More than 800 en-.
ployes were evacuated from
the Virginia Electric &
Power Co. building yester-
day after an anonymous
telephone caller reported a
bomb had been planted In
the building.
Police were called and
they ordered the building
evacuated. That was at IL
am. A thorough search
turned up no bomb and at
pm. the employees were
permitted to re-enter the
building.
A company spokesman
who declined to be quoted by
name said the bomb scare
apparently was a hoax per-
petrated by "a crackpot."

Indignation issue in a talk to
the Democratic Club Of Arling-

The club also heard the other

They are Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone,

Road Projects Approved
In Maryland and Virginia

Proposed highway construc-
Ition around Washington pushed
forward another step yesterday
with actions Of both Virginia
and, Maryland State roads agen-
cieS.
The Virginia State Highway
Commission approved the route
of the 22-mile outer circumfer-
entail expressway it will build
Through Northern Virginia from
Jones Point, Alexandria. to the
Virginia-Maryland line opposite
Cabin John.
The Maryland State Roads
Commission signed project
agreements with the Federal
Government under which that
State will receive more than $3.5
million for building roads.
The circumferential express
way location and construction
details were explained by Vir-
ginia officials last month at q
meeting at Annandale High
School in Fairfax County.
Few Changes Likely
! Ground surveys now are under
way, according to D. N. Huddle
State location and design en-
gineer. He said a few minor
changes may be made to avoid
property damage.
1 The limited access expressway
Twill receive 80 per cent of the
I$102 million construction costs
from the Federal Government
It is intended to connect with q
similar loop expressway through
Maryland which would provide
Ia complete circular bypass
around Washington.
The Virginia officials hope tt
begin building the first 7-milt
section from Jones Point to the
Shirley highway this fall. Subse.

quent sections viii be built from
Shirley to Lee highway and from
there to the Potomac River OPP
posite Cabin John.
The road will provide from
four to six traffic lanes divided
by a median strip.
Maryland to Match Funds
OF the million road build.
ing project funds under the
Maryland agreements, $1,953, 200
must be matched $3.50. The re.
naming $1,565,160 will be al.
lotted on a 90-10 basis, with the
State providing only 10 per cent.
The funds are earmarked for
five specific projects. Three are
bridge jobs--two in Hagerstown
and another in Montgomery
County near Washington.
Road projects are resurfacing
about AZ miles of U. S. 301 in
Southern Maryland and EXTEND
ing Maryland 240 6 miles near
Rockville, Montgomery County.
At its meeting Wednesday, the
SRC also awarded half q dozen
contracts for work which will
cost more than $1.8 million. The
largest, with successful bidders
and amounts, included:

an inheritance tax on property
unless she can produce receipts ID
prove she owned it jointly with
her husband.
Mr.. Winston, the third incum-
bent, called for a more equit-
able" distribution Of highway
funds to the densely Travelled
Northern Virginia area.
He said the new May / date
for collecting the income taxes
has resulted in a $48.5 million
"windfall'' for the State to make
needed repairs and additions To
schools, hospitals and other ia
cilities.
Mr. Broyhill called for an end
to the price-fixing powers Of the
Virginia Milk Commission. The
commission, he said. is "a prod

Approval of the Eisenhower
Middle East resolution in the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee by the end of this week APP
peared likely yesterday.
Chairman Gordon, Democrat
of Illinois, predicted last night
that Communist reaction to the
American Middle East proposal
will help solidify support for the
Eisenhower resolution in Con-
greSs.

admitted that recent develop
ments have enhanced the
chances" for adoption of the
Presidents proposal.
He was referring both to the
strong statement by Speaker
Rayburn Thursday in support of
the Eisenhower single pack
age" plan. and the subsequent
effort by Russia and Red China
to Offset the Eisenhower pro-
gram with their own declaration
of support to the Middle East.

He wants his independent
minded Communists to retain
control of the government.
His appeal made clear the
party's main worries concern the
members of the government who
are fighting unpopularity with
an electorate that remembers
the evil of past years.
Supported by Church
He is also concerned that the
voters might boycott the cleo
ton. The party has received
powerful support Of the Roman
Catholic Church in urging that
all the eligible voters go to the
polls. An energetic party get
out : and vote campaign, plus
church support, gave party lead
ers confidence they had defeated
any boycott move.
The party leadership has said
that to unseat a great number Of
Communists would mean a cer-
tain return to Stalinist policies
and perhaps turn Poland into
another Hungary. There has also
been some Western concern that
a big anti-Russian showing might
bring swift Soviet retaliation, as
occurred in Hungary.
Voting starts at 6 am. tomor-
row. The polls are open until
10 pm. First results may be
available around pm, but they
will be from small villages CIV
ing no clue to the national trend.
Results from the major cities
will start coming in early Mon
day, with the count probably
completed by Tuesday. The
heaviest turnout is expected in
Warsaw itself. The church APP
peal for every eligible voter to
cast a ballot is expected to have
heavy influence in the rural
districts.
