Route 11 To Be Improved
HAGERSTOWN Md April 14 Scheduled improvement by the state of U S 11 between Hagerstown and the Pennsylvania border cannot come too soon for residents. A three mile stretch serving Fairchild Aircraft traffic earned the nickname Death Lane and suffers bumper to bumper jams at rush hours. The plan calls a dual lane with controlled access in a 1 675 0 million highway program and work is expected within four years. Traffic is projected to reach 14 200 vehicles daily by 1965. There is a history of slowdowns, winter slick spots, and monthly multi vehicle pileups. A tunnel was built under the highway to aid Fountaindale School students crossing. SRC Chairman Russell McCain pledged early action under the 12 year plan.

Not Alarmed By Mistake Not Alarmed By Mistake
ANNAPOLIS April 10 Gov McKeldin said there is no cause for alarm if a clerical error in the last hours of the Legislature blocks rent controls in Maryland. He plans no special session to fix the issue. The error could exempt Baltimore County from the option, risking the local controls act. The governor notes no emergency justifies immediate action and the legislature reconvenes next February.
