Washington, Aug. 26. — Con gress leaves behind a record of legislation that for generations to come promises to affect vital ly the personal welfare of mil lions of men, women and chil dren. the trend of business and finance, and the whole national future. Congress had to spend weeks on end correcting defects in legis lation hastily passed at the outset of the new deal and meeting pressing immediate problems like relief. But it found time, too', to enact such laws as the social se curity act founding a great na tional system of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance and, to revise the country’s basic bank- fairgrounds.

For some time it was feared that construction of the aeaSe road would be held up indefintte- ly on account of right of way tagles but it is understood that North Carolina deeded the right of way to the national govern- ment by indemnifying it againat all right of way damages.

It will be recalled that the North Carolina legislature gave the highway commission power of eminent domain in securing the right of way.

Plans for the parkway call for a right of way of .1,000 feet. That portion not used for the ac tual roadbed will be used to make an elongated park. In communi ties through which the parkway is constructed and where that much land is not available scenic eat nents will be procured in or der to prohibit the construction of anything unsightly along the route.
