Quadrupling Of Incentive Fund Asked
Frederick county leaders urged a fourfold increase in the state incentive fund for school construction, arguing current $50,000 annual aid is insufficient. The measure, backed by local officials and groups, aims to unlock about $200,000 yearly but officials warn eligibility and revenue questions remain. A $90,000 local share would support a four million dollar building program.

Cities May Ask Congress To Aid Easing Traffic
The United States Conference of Mayors urges Congress to relax limits on highway funds to combat urban traffic chaos. Maj. Gen. Fleming cites 673 million dollars since the war as a small share, pushing for city blueprints for fast motor traffic and land acquisition. A demand seeks at least 50 percent of next year’s 450 million highway aid for cities, risking rural and intercity highway funds. A separate proposal from Baltimore’s mayor calls for extended rent control and making wire tap use a felony.
