ations which will occur in the
future as a result of additional
development and the opening of
new highways"
He said that while the coun-
ties and the State have compe-
tent traffic engineering staffs,
the heavy workload now being
shouldered by these groups and
the desirability of a fresh and
impartial look" at the situation
made the employment of an
outside firm preferable in this
instance.
Funk also suggested that the
feasibility of coordinating SUBJ
urban Specialization with that of
the District of Columbia be ex-
amined SO continuity of flow
might be achieved particularly
by commuter traffic.
Il urge you to consider par
ticipating with the State Roads
Commission in the employment
of such a firm of experts to
study the metropolitan area and
make a report as to the most
feasible and applicable type of
master controlled signal system
including the approximate cost"

A broad study of traffic
Specialization in Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties
with an eye toward development
of an electronic type master
control to coordinate signals in
the region has been proposed
by the State Roads Commission
of Maryland.
John B. Funk, chairman-direc-
tor of the Commission, after
consultation with George N.
Lewis, jr., chief of the Commits
sion's Bureau of Traffic, pro-
posed such a study in a letter
to officials of the two counties.
Funk asked the counties to
consider participating with the
State in the employment of ma
tionally-known experts to con-
duct the survey and prepare
working drawings and specifi.
atoms for the installation of
such a system.
In his letter, Funk. said:
with so much new highway
construction begun under the
five-year 'Go-Roads' program
now being completed in the
Washington suburban region of
Maryland, new traffic patterns
can be expected to develop and
a thorough re-examination of
traffic Specialization in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
counties should be undertaken
without delay.
"In addition, the movement
of traffic in the metropolitan
area, particularly on arterials
radiating from the District of
Columbia, is becoming more
and more critical each day.
ION a number of these facili-
ties during morning and after
noon peak travel periods, traffic
is subjected to congestion
caused mainly by isolated sig
nails not part of a system cleo
ironically controlled to respond
to variations in volume and di-
rections of flow"
Funk said it is obvious that
the time has arrived when 1--WE

children, extent of rehabilita-

reaction if past offense be-
came known to the public"
His suggestion that school
employees be both fingerprinted
and photographed for I'D cards
came within two weeks of his
announcement that he would
seek to have the School Board
reverse its long-standing posi-
ton against fingerprinting.
The earlier announcement
followed the arrest and convic-
ton of a West Rockville Junior
High School teacher on a sex
offense against a 15-year-old
student. The teacher was given
three-year suspended SEN
tence, ordered to get out and
stay out of the teachin gprofes-
sion for that period, and told
by Peoples Court Judge John B.
Diamond to seek psychiatric
help.
The instructor had a record
of two previous arrests on
morals charges, dating back to
1855.
DR.. Whittier estimates cost of
setting up the fingerprinting
and photographing operation
between now and the start of
the next school year would
come to about $4,000, and that
the cost of maintaining the
system after that would be
nominal"
He said I'D cards for all en-
ployes are necessary because of
the size of the school system
staff and their frequent visits to
schools throughout the county,
and as a precaution against
theft in school buildings by un-
identified persons.
