Highway Now
Can Qualify
For u. S. Aid
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star Stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 22.-The
way was clear today for the
Maryland Roads Commission to
convert Route 301 into a dual
lane. limited access highway
through Southern Maryland.
An "irrevocable" resolution
passed by the commission four
years ago in a deal with South
iern Maryland Senators to for
evermore assure free access on
Route 30l can be modified or
revoked, Attorney General C.
Ferdinand Sybert ruled yester-
day.
This means that 30l can quail
ify for Federal aid as an inter-
state highway. The roads COM
mission has requested interstate
funds for the Blue Star Me-
mortal highway, which includes
that section of 301 from Route
SO to the Potomac River Bridge.
( The commission is in the process
/ of dualizing 301 all the way from
Glen Burnie south to the Vir-
ginia boundary.
The Attorney Generals opin-
ion was requested by the roads
commission and the House Ways
and Means Committee. Roads
Chairman Robert o. Bonnell had
told the committee he felt the
1858 resolution prevented the
agency from denying access to
30l and thus qualifying it for
Federal aid.
Bill Vetoed
Southern Maryland Senators
got a bill through in the 1853
Legislature aimed at preventing
the commission from construct
ing 30l and parts of Route 5 as
controlled or limited access
roads. Gov. McKeldin vetoed the
bill, however, and the roads COM
mission passed its "irrevocable"
resolution in order to get the
bills sponsors to agree not to
seek to override that veto.
In other developments here at
the Maryland Legislature. the
Senate gave voice approval yes
terday to House bill raising the
speed limit on dual lane super
highways from SIS to so miles an
hour. 1t still faces a roll call
vote before it goes to the Gov.
ernor's desk.
Two other traffic bills had a
close call in the Senate.
Senator William James, Demo-
. crat of Hartford. said State uni
. formity on speed limits would
soon be destroyed if the Legis-
lature gives Montgomery County
authority TO set its own speed
limit on county roads.
Senator Edward S. Northrop,
Democrat Of Montgomery. said
his county wanted to reduce
State-established speed limits on
some narrow rural roads. The bill
was finally moved up the final
passage on a 15-to-4 vote with
seven senators passing.
Passing Bill Passes
A Statewide bill to allow
motorists to pass on the right on
dual lane roads was enacted by
the Senate. Is to 9. Fifteen votes
constitutes the minimum ma jor-
ity in the upper chamber.
Ready for introduction today
in the House was the Prince
Georges delegation bill to au-
thorize another S550,0O0 in addi-
ton to the S950.000 already au-
thorized for construction OF a
courthouse annex at Upper Marl-
boro. The bill also empowers the
county commissioners to borrow
up ito $250,000 for other capital
improvement projects.

New Evidence Thot
Crime Doesn't Pay

Two sadder but wiser young
men, who appeared in a recent
lineup at police headquarters.
realize now that braggadocio
doesn't pay any better than
crime.
These two men," said Dep
uty Chief Edgar E. Scott, who
heads the detective bureau,
were overheard saying the
police were looking for them,
so here they are. Anybody
want them?"
The dapper pair was held for
further investigation.
The tall, dignified Scott, who
looks more like a Senator
than some SolonS, handles
the microphone and succeeds
in putting a touch of humor
in the drab, sorry business.
One young man, held for
carrying a concealed weapon,
had filed application to be a
policeman.
II don't think he'll make it,"
Deputy Scott dryly observed.

He bought it in the dead

fit of two clear, if cold, days
of driving before a snow
storm buried the vehicle.
A neighbOr observed that
the cOntraptiOn was parked
in front of the family home
longer than the Is hours
allowed by law, and COM

The policeman who called
to investigate the matter
probably would have been
satisfied to have it moved
into the garage, but no one
was home and he left a
ticket.
The car then had to be

Lantz Ridge Has
Unique Experiences
For Mission Week

Despite the breakdown of the
organ and the intrusion of dog
at one service, the Lutheran
Evangelism Mission at Mount
Olivct Church on Lantz Ridge,
Preston county proceeded cffec-
lively this week. The work of
personal visitation was done al
most exclusively by tecn-agers of
the congregation who dropped off
visitation teams i'm makC-shift
shuttle using whatever vehicular
conveyance possible. Arrange
mcnts were made to bring nom
members to the services through a
pooling of several automobiles
coming along the single-lane dirt
road which runs along the noun
tain ridge.
The usual telephone committee
which functions in each congrega-
ton during a Lutheran Evangel-
ism Mission was not organized at
Mount Olivct church. There are
mo telephones in the homes of the
members.
1t is significant to note that the
roadway leading beyond the church
is so precipitous that the school
bus does not 90 beyond that point.
In preparation for the mission,
however, callers from the church
visited in all homes and during
the week of services a family of
four walked some four miles to
the services. They were returned
to their home by members of the
congregation.
The dog in question came to the
Sunday service without invitation
and was followed on Monday
night by his owners. The old reed
organ, powered by vacuum
cleaner, failed to respond on Tues
day and the congregation did its
hymn-singing capella.
These numerous physical handi-
caps did not deter the spirit of the
people At one point in the week
the attendance was twice the bap-
TIED membership of the cOngreGa-
ton and quadrupled the cOmmuE.
ing, or active membership The
missioner for the week of services
was the Rev. Donald r. Gallon,
pastor Of St Matthew's Lutheran
church. Lancaster, Pa. and the
host pastor is the Rev George c.
