Committees arranging the 1857
inaugural ceremonies have
turned down a plea by religious
leaders to include a special

Change Asked
In Election of
School Board
BY a star stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 8. - The
Montgomery County delegation
today is considering an alternate
staggered school board term pro-
posal that would call for election
of all seven board members in
1858.
Delegation Chairman Blall
Lee III said complaints had
been received about the terms OF
the bill approved for drafting by
the delegation last week.
That bill would provide foi
election of the two at-large
members and the members or
the first and third council dis
tricts in 1858. with members
from the second. fourth and fifth
district holding over until the
1860 election. This would per-
nit Board President Helen
Scharf. Mrs. Rose c. Kramer and
Willard G. McGraw to serve two
extra years after their present
terms expire in 1858.
The alternate proposal now
being considered would provide
that three of the members
elected in 1858 would serve only
tWo-year terms with the re-
naming four being elected tc
regular four-year terms.
Mr.. Lee said the public reac-
ton was not against the idea OF
staggered terms. which is aimed
at assuring that a complete ano
inexperienced board cannot be
elected all at once.

The minimum standard allow

and steadily building traffic on
all of them toward saturation.
Some Practical Reasons
Frustrating as the waits are.
there are practical reasons for
most Of them.
This month, State Roads Com
missioner Robert o. Bonnell will
tell the Maryland Legislature
that. instead of the $3.50 million
expenditure contemplated before
1854. roads officials now may
spend more than $3.50 million
during the l2-year period a
staggering increase OF 10 pei
cent?
Several factors account for
this change. Some of them are
cause for optimism. Others fore
cast more trouble ahead.
On the plus side. the first three
years of the l2-year program
have:
Increased the prospects OF
much better Maryland highways
much more likely to handle
tremendous traffic volumes of the
future-than were contemplated
three years ago. Mainly response
BILE is the new Federal highway
act, which will make millions OF
dollars available to the State
in Federal aid grants. A number
of the original projects called
for relatively minor improve
ments. The new prospects
largely to meet the rgiid stand
ards Of Federal highway sys-
tems-will result in more free
wheeling limited-access free
ways.
Tied down right-of ways and
brought a start of land acqulsi-
ton for future roads-pre-requi-
sites to construction.
Controversies Settled
sSeen the program actually
get under way in each county.
Elementary as this sounds. the
last three years have shaken
down a number Of controversies,
and taught officials invaluable
lessons.
On the minus side:
sThe State has learned the
sad truth about estimates of
future road costs. Actual high
way construction costs are up
"a per cent above the original
estimates prior to 1854. Engi-
neering costs are up 20 per cent.
Land acquisition costs are up a
staggering 81 per cent. These all
add UP to an average increase
of 81 per cent above estimates,
and that level is being used to
figure costs from now on. But
there is no assurance the in
creases will not keep going up
and up.
Scandals. particularly in land
acquisition, have rocked the
program. In addition. political
presSures for earlier and addi-
tional road construction in spe-
ciflc areas repeatedly have done
the program no good.
construction is behind sched-
ule. The Roads Commission. it
appears certain. will not meet
construction schedules in mileage
ordered by the Legislature for
the first four years Of the pro-
gram.
The last point is certain to
get heavy attention from the
Legislators when Mr.. Bonnell sub
mits a review of the last three
years this month.

Legislature established a certain

The
Rambler
An Unkind Cut
At Hair StyIists
BY JACK JONAS

The park people and the art
galleries had better lay in a
goodly supply of canvas to
drape the statues and the
memorials.
Eleni, our lady of fashion,
reported the other day that a
hair Stylist had found inspira-
ton for new couture at the
National Gallery of Art.
This particular hair style,
the cherub cut, fashioned after
Bust of Little Boy" is ad-
mittedly restrained. But this
one tiny pebble could start
an avalanche.
A look around town shows
the horrors a hair styliSt
rampant could perpetrate.
She could take us back to
grandmother and beyond, per-
haps even far enough for a
Cleopatra cut. There is a
plethora of styles to choose
from Washington statuary.
There's a suspicion, indeed,
that the StylistS may have
been stealing ideas from the
city'S stone and marble for
some time.
The ladies on the Peace
Monument down near the
Capitol, for example, feature
the pony tail. Those ladies
wore their pony tails long
before that couture became
popular. And the frightening
thought is they'll be there
long enough to tempt hair
styliSts of future generations.

Job Study
ReportGiven
To President
BY FRANCES LEVINE
Associated Press Correspondent

A continuing revolution in
women's employment" that
may mean 1915 million job
holders by 1878 was reported
to President Eisenhower today.
In a two-year study Of
"womanpower," the national
manpower council traced
changes in the work status of
women. including the "explo-
sive and unprecedented ex-
pansion" that came with
World War II.
At the turn Of the century
about half the adult women
never entered paid employ
ment, the report said.
Now at least nine out Of
every 10 women are likely to
work outside the home in the
course of their lives" the
council added.
The 400-page report sug-
gests the Nation has much to
learn about more effective
utilization of womanpower."
The Remember council,
headed by Erwin D. Canham
of Boston, was set up by Mr..
Eisenhower six years ago when
he was head Of Columbia Uni
versity to provide q continuing
appraisal of the Nations man
power problems and policies.
1t is financed by the Ford
Foundation.
In its appraisal Of woman
power" the group found these
facts:
Two-fifths of all women
aged IA and over-a total OF
about % million women-are
now in the labor force in the
course of a year.
Women are expected to &C
count for about half of the 10
million more persons to be
drawn into labor force by
1865. Their number is pre-
dicted to reach $500, 900 by
1915.
The council detailed the
growing numbers of wives and
mothers and women in their
middle and later years who
are taking jobs. 1t reported:
Today's school girls may ex-
pect to spend IS or more years
in paid work outside the home.
Six out of every 10 women now
are married and five out of
10 are over 40. Three out of
every 10 married women are
now working, as are nearly two
out of every five mothers
