Nevertheless, 1t approved the

unanimously.
Mr.. Cahill said the "con-
trolled access" facility would
be of such Importance in the
Northern Virginia traffic sys-
tenn that it would rank above
Shirley highway as an inter-
state thoroughfare.
THE committees plan" he
said, calls for removing Shir-
icy from the interstate system"
Inc planners added that
construction of the new ex-
pressway would not affect the
Federal Governments plan to
widen Shirley highway To six
lanes.
In other action, the COM
mission, which met in Alex
andria. agreed to investigate
the possibility of obtaining
some of the Burke Airport land
from the Federal Government
for use as parkland, sites for
future juvenile detention facili-
ties, and a Northern Virginia
mental hospital.
It also instructed one Of its
committees to investigate the
possibility of acquiring PLAN

the Federal Aid Highway Act
of 1855.
In the District, Highway Di-
rector j. N. Robertson said the
additional money could mean
advancement of such projects
as the Southwest, Southeast
and Anacostia Freeways, the
Constitution avenue bridge and
the new Highway bridge.
Mr.. Robertson said that
planning is fairly well along,
and that a good deal of work
could be put under contract
fairly soon. subject to the
limitation that sufficient street
capacity must be kept open so
as not to obstruct current traf-
fic loads too much.
Maryland Projects
Projects pending In nearby
Maryland include the WASH
ington circulnferential highway
and the Baltimore beltway,
which stand to benefit from
the program speed-up along
with various other State road
jobs.

major roads, 1t eventually
would replace Shirley highway
as Northern Virginia's princi-
pal interstate route.
A brainchild of the commits
sion's roads and transportation
committee headed by Francis
Coffey, the proposal adds up to
a major extension Of a SIS mil
lion plan already under study
by the State roads commission
and the City Of Alexandria to
run a freeway along the Alex

The waterfront freeway would
connect the proposed. Potomac
River bridge at Reaches Run,
near the Fourteenth Street
Bridge, wit hthe Jones Point
Bridge in Alexandria.
Link With Shirley Highway
"We're now suggesting" Mr..
Coffey said, "that the State
roads commission study the
possibility Of continuing the
freeway south and west from
Jones Point to form a link
(about IL miles away with
Shirley highway somewhere
between Springfield and Lor-
ton"

Lincoln university in Jefferson
City. Mo-. has proven that Negro
schools can survive when integra-
ton begins to work, according to
a story in the March issue of
Ebony.
After the Supreme Court issued
its desegregation ruling, some
members of the Missouri Legisla-
ture wanted to know if Lincoln's
facilities were being duplicated
by other schools. including the
all-white University of Missouri
30 miles away. After an investi-
cation Lincoln's future in the
states educational picture was
firm.
Today, it is estimated that near
ly one-third of Lincoln's students
are white. and although most of
the Negroes come from all over
the u. S., most of the other stu
dents live in jefferson City or
surrounding communities.
The Ebony story, THE School
That Was Too Good To Die" tells
of the schools good student rela-
tions, with students white and
Negro mixing freely on the cam
pus, and participation in student
activities.
One white student said, II
