!. The amazing expansion OF
metropolitan areas, where most
Iof the nations postwar popula-
ton growth has taken place.
2. The tremendous increase in
auto use, along with a drop in
mass transit riding.
And Still on Rise
The reason officials see no end
in sight to the increases now is
that both Of these factors still
are active, along with prospects
for continued expansion of the
national economy. Studies show
that the lines Of traffic growth
and expansion of the gross ma
tional product have been virtu-
ally parallel.
Today. experience Of the past
is being reflected in the ire
mendous increases in traffic
volume predicted for the future.
Maryland officials. for ex-
ample. estimate that Baltimore
Washington traffic, which has
doubled in the last 10 years,
probably will again double pres
lent volumes by 1875.
In Washington, meanwhile
two separate programs have
brought about unprecedented eff
forts to estimate this areas
traffic potential on a realistic
basis.
First is the 100000 study Of
Iarea-wide transportation prob
lems-and their possible solu-
tion-by the National Capital
Regional Planning Council. Ac-
curate traffic estimates are es-
Isential to enable the council to
estimate costs Of future high
ways required-as we'll as pos
sible rapid transit facilities.
Estimates Called For
The second is the new Fed
Ieral highway aid program, which
which make billions OF dollars
available to help finance new
roads all over the country. A
firm requirement Of the Fed
eral program. however, is that
States and the District make
accurate estimates Of the costs
and needs in new road lanes
based on future traffic.
The basic study for the WASH
ington area is being made by the
same regional group which drew
the highway improvement pro-
gram between 1948 and 1852. A
first step in the study is to de-
termine the actual traffic flows
in various parts Of the city at
the present time. BY comparing
these findings with the actual
traffic volumes known in 1948.
the experts will be able to de-
Iternine the factors responsible
for the growth. Then, these fac
tors can be applied to the an
ticipated future development of
the Washington area to produce
future traffic volumes that can
be expected. The final step.
when the future traffic estimates
are available next summer, will
be to assign the future traffic to
Ia specific road system.
AS an indication Of the prof.
ect's completely. the research
team has divided the area-ap-

direction from the center of the

ing no prospects of decline in the
future, has made a farce of some
of the most educated guesSes oil
the past.
Between 1948 and 1852, Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia
highway experts co-operated tc
produce the first real regional
highway improvement program
based on traffic estimates
throughout the area and de.
signed to meet 1852 needs.
Today. little Of the program
has been built. Already, it falls
far short of demands.
1860 Figure Passed in $50
In Virginia, estimates Of traf-
f1c made in 1945 for the year
1860 already were being ex-
iceeded on roads throughout the
State in 1858.
Perhaps the classic example
of wrong-guessing, however, was
the 1945 rhubarb between Fed
Ieral planners and city highway

bridge needs.
Then. the Planning Commits
sion figured a single six-lane
bridge at Fourteenth street was
enough to handle the $4,000 cars
"a day the planners predicted
would want to use it in 1865
Thomas H. Macdonald, then
Commissioner of Public Roads
attacked the planners for un-
derestimating traffic. He pre-
dicted that 10000 cars a day
would be using two Fourteenth
street bridges by the year 1860.
Actually, the two bridges In
question carried an average
daily total of 105,851 cars during
the year 1955-far above both
predictions.
The planners figured in 194s
that by the year 1865. all Po-
tomac bridges would be carry
ing only 10000 cars a day
Actually. the 1855 daily average
was 227,155-and last August the
total was up to a staggering
daily average for that month oil
I24l ,465.
HoOted For His 4 Per Cent
The bridge predictions were
not unique. The same mistakes
were made by traffic experts
everywhere.
In 1850. one Federal Bureau
of Public Roads official re-
called, he predicted an annual
traffic growth Of 4 per cent foi
the indefinite future. and wa;
hooted with disbelief. Actually

Washington's, has exceeded that

THE animals" Mr.. Nc
Laren said, have been over

"The star performers ought
to be allowed to ride in COM
partmentS on railroad trains,
and the lesser performers in
coaches.
There ought to be a def
mite scale of salaries. We're
shooting for $50 a week min
imum for those artists used
merely as props or in walk-on
roles. We'd like 500 a week
for those required to bark,
chirp, meow or whinny on cue.
"And it ought to be $3.50
week for artists who cry,
laugh or emote on cue"
Working hours he said,
should depend on the physical
stamina of the performer.
Monkeys, for example, being
high-strung creatures, should
not face the footlights more
than an hour at a stretch.
For a sturdier animal like
the elephant, of course, three
hours at a stretch would be
all right" Mr.. McLaren said.
He feels about S per cent Of
the animals salary should be
set aside for retirement, with
the retirement age ranging
from Is for dogs to 95 for
turtles.

CHARLEY JENKINS STARS
IN PENN RELAYS

Philadelphia - amp - The
63rd running of the Penn Relay
Carnival at Franklin Field, be-
longed to Villanova's Charley
Jenkins without a shadow Of
doubt.
Jenkins exhibited one Of the
most masterful displays of cour-
age yet seen in the event. It was
his overpowering drive in closing
minutes Of the Carnival that gave
Vllanova its fourth Relay crown
and labeled him the meets out
standing performer.
Jenkins turned the trick on the
anchor leg Of his teams mile run.
He took the baton from teammate
Ron Delany who had a two-yard
deficit at the end Of the third leg
and in seconds had the crowd to
its feet. Jenkins was forced to go
all out on a blistering 0:46.4
stretch as Villanova was caught
in 3:12.7, fastest mile in the ma
ton as of the date.
II was by far the most brilliant
Of three stints by Jenkins. Two
years ago he overcame a similar
disadvantage to win with a O;467
anchor, and in 1856 he turned the
same trick in O:45.5.

New York City--(ANP)-- One
night last summer Ruben Gomez
experienced one Of the most
humiliating moments Of any
player in baseball.
After the New York Giants pit
cher had accidentally struck Big
Joe Adcock, the Milwaukee first
baseman, on the wrist with a pitch
he was chased off the field at
County Stadium in Milwaukee by
the hulking Louisianian.
What happened was this:
As Adcock walked toward first
base, he spewed epithets at the
slender puerto Rican highlander.
When Gomez replied in kind, Ad-
cock started meancingly toward
him. Reuben fired the ball at him,
striking him on the knee, and then
fled 10 the Giants dressing room.
Obwouly, Gomez got a good 90.
ing over from other players and in
the press, To many players, that
might have been the start Of the
end Of their career. This would
seem TO have applied 10 Gomez,
in view Of the fact that he had
enjoyed % his worst season since
joining the Giants in 1853
But Gomez has certainly fooled
his critics, In 1855, he won only 7
and lost Ia sort Of reverse Of
his best season in 1854, when he
won II and lost 9. He hurled only
four complete games during the
season and took only 81 games to
do Il.
This year in his seven starts
he came through with six vic
tories tall complete games) and
suffered a single defeat His set
back, incidentally, came after he
had been sidelined by a virus at
tack.
Gomez earlier had notched vic
tories over the Pittsburgh Pirates
(twice) and the Philadelphia
Phillies His defeat was admin
istered by the Chicago Cubs in a
game in which he pitched five
scoreless innings before being
knocked out.
Ruben, a 29-year-old native Of
Santurco, p, r., simply explains
his success this year, compared
with his dismal failure a year ago,
He says II was the result Of being
used regularly in spring training
whereas In 1855 he saw only in
termittent action. He says he
needs work to be at his sharpest.

worker on the mound, is better
known for his screwball than any
other delivery
