CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
(P1.-Niembers of the Vir-
ginia Travel Council heard
a transportation expert pre-
dict yesterday that in the
future there would be "less
egotism and more functional
space" In automobiles.
Richard Rice, president OF
Transportation Facts Inc.
Of Chicago, told the APP
proximately 200 delegates at
the councils annual meeting
here that only one-third of
the present automobile is
disable for riding space and
the rest is only an outlet
for egotism.
In an illustrated talk by
telephone from Chics 90. Mr..
Rice also predicted that in
10 or is years families
would have trailers with all
living Accommodations. These
trailers would be put on rail-

ton to any spot in the coun-
try the family wished to
visit.

D. f. Gets Plea
For School Loan

/ A formal plea for a borrowing
program to make possible speed
ier District school constr ,ction
was in the hands of the Com
missioners today.
School Supt. Hobart M. Cor
Ming yesterday sent 10 the Dis
triet Building a complete outline
of a proposed 500 million school
building proeram, which would
be supported ny annual loans
over a five-year period.
School space needs are not
being me adequately under
present pay -you-go District
fir snclng, DR.. Corning said. He
said there is n tremendous
backlog Of needs because of
rising enrolment. population
shifts and a wartime lag in
construction.
Tie school system also has re-
duced its claSs-size standards,
requiring additional rooms.
DR.. Corning said funds fol-
constructor have not been in
creased enough to offset rising
building costs.
The school chief told the city
heads the District has a "sizable
credit potential" because it has
no existing school-building debts.
He predicted that savings in con-
struction costs. by proceeding
rapidly. might Offset the interest
charges.
Without new construction,
children will continue to be
handicapped by oversize anG
part-time classes. he predicted.
The board Of education has
approved the borrowing proposal
in principle but has not given a
final Endorsement to the IS prof.
ects in DR.. Corning's list. Among
the projects are a new teachers

By a s.ar sian Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. l5.-The
name OF Avery w. Hall. promi-
nent Eastern Shore man. has
been added to the list of Repub-
lican gubernatorial hopefuls for
1858.
1t is indicated. furthermore
that his candidacy would be le-
garded favorably by Gov. Nickel
din, who is barred by the State
constitution from seeking a third
consecutive term.
High Republican sources
threw Mr.. Halls name into the
speculation ring here last night
as the Legislature returned for
the third week of its 90-day ses-
sion.
Mr.. Hall is a 57-year-old Sails
bury insurance man. a former
member of the Maryland todas
Commission and a McKeldin APP
pointee to the new Maryland
Port Authority. He is regarded
as a political conf1dant Of the
Governor and close pei Sonal
friend Cf the last D. years.
McKeIdin Silent
Gov. McKeldin, YER,
would not comment publicly
about the injection of Mr.. Halls
name into the G.. o. P. guDc ma
toriai speculation. which until
now hrs been confined TO Rep

reux of the I'd district and

The Republican Governor
made it clear to reporters that
he intends to support Senator j.
Glenn Beall if the Western
Maryland Republican decides to
seek reelection in 1858. Mr..
Beall has said he plans to seek
reelection.
McKeldin hackers who would
like to see him replace Senator
Beall have proposed that the
Senator run for Governor in 1858
so Mr.. McKeldin could try for
the Senate. Senator Beall. how
ever, has cold-shouldered this
proposal.
Gov McKeldin's statement
that he would support Senator
Beall's reelection was taken as
an assurance there would be no
Beall-McKeldin primary in 1858.
Legal Hurdle
1t also would seem to leave
the Governor with no political
alternative except to return to
his native Baltimore and run fol
Mayor again. He acknowledges,

right to vote. 1t was ratified
by the required 36 States and
became the law of the land in
1921.
Mr.. Culotta said the Legisla-
lures failure to ratify this
amendment is blot on the fair
name of Maryland
The Maryland lawmakers also
are being asked again this ses-
sion to ratify the 14th Amend
ment. which was adopted after
the Civil War to establish the
citizenship of Negroes, denied a
few years before in the Supreme
Courts famous bred Scott deci-
sion.
Negro Pushes Move
The 14th Amendment ratiflca-
ton is beng sought by Senator
Harry A Cole, Republican of
Baltimore City, the first Negro
ever to be elected to the Mary
land Senate. He put in the same
resolution in 1855 and 1856 The
first time It fell short by two
votes in the Senate of the ma
jority Of Is needed for passage.
Last year. it died IN committee.
Another bill introduced last
night that aroused considerable
discussion was one proposing an
"unsatisfied judgment fund" for
blameless motorists whose mo Or
vehicles are damaged in an ac-
cident involving an uninsured
vehicle
This is regarded as an alterna-
tive to a bill introduced earlier
by the Legislative Council to re-
Iquire all Maryland motorists to
carry insurance against damages
their vehicles might cause.
The new proposal was put
forth by Senate Majority Leader
John G. Turnbull along with
Senators Philip Goodman of
Baltimore, William James of
Hartford, Anthony Di Dominica
of Baltimore and Louis N
Phipps of Anne Arundel, all
Democrats.

from automobile in
surance companies. A car owner
eligible to collect from the
State-administered fund would
be paid all damages over 5000.
The unsatisf1ed judgment
fund has the backing of the
Baltimore City Bar Association,
which recently concluded that
the compulsory insurance plan
would net protect motorists in
volved in accidents with hit
and-run drivers, with UNI
insured motorists from other
States, with drivers Of stolen
vehicles and with drivers who
have failed to comply with terms
o. their insurance policies.
Senator Thomas Dempsey,
Democrat of Baltimore, chief
hacker of the compulsory insur-
ance idea, conceded these loop
holes, but he said today his pro-
posal is still the most feasible.
Actually" he said, we need

the mammoth theme float will
snake its way into the process
sion that moves along Constitu-
ton and Pennsylvania avenues
from the "Hi'," past the review
ing stands at tie White House.
Self Contained Pageant
| officials say the theme float
will be more Of pageant than
anything else, because it will de-
lpict what has been accomplished
in the United States under free
doms guaranteed in the Bill of
Rights and the Constitution.
The huge vehicle on which
the theme float will be moved
was devised by the Army Trans
portation Corp. ct is pure CO.

bled in a building at the Naval
Gun Factory
Tie float consists of IL units
varyirg in length from IA to rs.

powerful M-26 tank transporter
trucks. Actually. one of these
trucks can haul the float but
they will be hooked in tandem
as a preca ltion against break

The theme will be depicted in
six sections. which we're de-

The whole float weights 2t3,-
900 pounds. and it will require a
total of l40 wheels.
Exhaustive Tests
To make sure it could negotiate
the entire parade route, the
Army conducted exhaustive tests
at Fort Eustis. Va. A course with
the exact measurements Of the
parade routes tight squeezes---
notably at the dog-leg around
the Treasury Building at Fif-
tenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue N.W.-was laid out.
Then the Army hauled the float
vehicle over the course repeatedly.
Experts decided the float idea
was practicable.
The vehicle is SO long, how
ever, that men stationed at its

transmitters to keep in touch
