in the Southern area. Industrial develop
ment Of many categories is dependent upon
moving both raw materials and manufac-
tured products by highway and it is thought
BY advocates that location of the interstate
defense route through this area will add to
the industrial development in the territory
which it traverses. In addition, connecting
highways from the Underwater sections, Nor
folk west, will have an additional avenue Of
defense evacuation if necessary.
Route "a through this area will be of
definite value toward development of bust
ness and industry. According to present
plans the superhighway will pass imnedi-
ately south Of Farmvlle just beyond the
Ifundley farm and will follow generally
Routes $50 and 400 from Richmond to Roa-
nohe thence to Clifton Forge thus linking
several important cities and defense in
dlstries 1t is pointed out also that the
southern or Water Level Route, has a better
grade and no botteneck tunnels in the
mountains. Location Of the superhighWay
on the Southern route will open up many
localities in Virginia for industrial develop
ment, connect several Of the States import
ant cities, and provide excellent facilities
for areas in Southwest Virginia to the coast
and to the Capitol City Of Richmond
Recommendation Of the State Highway
Department comes after months Of study,
and efforts BY cities and towns along the
route It is thought that the Federal Agen-
cies will approve the location even though
the route is slightly longer adding some to
the cost Of construction. Certainly it will
open up a territory capable Of industrial
development and from defense point Of
view, provide second connection with the
coast to mountains defense highways. This
route has value in the future development
of Virginia and special value as d defense
highway in case Of hostilties.

Naive Public Being
BrainWashed

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
l visited Farmville last Sunday

prise found the good folks Of your
beautiful city not at all dismayed
by the prospect Of closed public
schools.

community where much Of the con
versation centers about tour chill

Schools usually dominated by the
more radical elements constantly

welcome relief.
Also in my community Of Airing
ton public sentiment would vary
widely depending upon the question
have no doubt that if asked DO
you prefer segregation or integra-
tion?" the answer would be over
whelmingly in favor of segregation
But if asked do you prefer closed
segregated schools to open inte-
grated schools?", the latter would
win.
1t is difficult to determine where
the difference between these two
communities lies. A sizeable per
centage Of Arlington residents mi
grated there from integrated com
munities. m of them have
joined in the demand for integra
ton. Some Of our politicians prl-
vately voice bitter distaste for in
tegration and integrationists vet
fight every segregatlonist proposal
presented in Richmond. The answer
seems to be partially federal en-
ployment

Tribute 70 Dulles

ARTHUR Godfrey and Senator Richard L.

"crash program in the fight against cancer,
before a Senate subcommittee Buth sug-
gested that the crash program be inaugu-

A crash program on cancer, as suggested
would be in order, and it is interesting to
note that the chairman Of the sub-commit-

the idea when it was suggested before his
committee
