A Nation wide survey Of
prices indicated that the total
cost of an average turkey
day dinner for four this year
will be about $5.42. The cost
last year was 1922. In 1851,
the cost was figured at 1888,
according to a report from

Commission that construction
of the controversial highway

The two projects include a
large interchange in Southeast

Mr.. Stolzenbach was asked
whether he would continue his
fight against the highway pro-
gram when the items come
before Congress for budget ap-
proval. He said the matter
will have to be handled

Before the District budget
goes to Capitol Hill it must
win clearance by the Budget
Bureau, which serves as the

Acceptance of the decision
by the planning commission
