Charles B. Macdonald of the

land is acquired promptly, the

BulldOzers on Job
Mr.. Macdonald said that al
though rs area citizens groups
favor the parkway, bulldozers
already are tearing up this land
for developments which would
straddle the path of the park
way.
Mr.. Lankford said Congress
must refuse to allow itself to
be used by private interests out
to block the parkway.
An erroneous impression has
been created that the parkway
is local highway designed to
relieve crowded commuter traf-
fic, Mr.. Lankford said, adding
that such simply is not the
case"
Land Earmarked
The parkway is a public high
way through land Congress de-
cided 81 years ago should be
preserved, he maintained.
He stressed that county Off
cials had proved their willing
ness to share costs by two
actions:
In 1859. the county council
was authorized by the State
General Assembly to sell 81
million in bonds to match the
Federal acquisition costs.
In April of this year, the
county commissioners agreed to
put up $780, 900. to be matched
by the National Capital Plan

land at the interchange of the
