PROTESTS VOICED ON ROAD PLAN Special to the Morning News ARDEN, June 8 Leaseholders of Ardencroft tonight protested the State Highway Department's plans to widen and regrade Veale Road, raising the level of part of the road by 10 feet. Donald Stephens, one of the directors of 1 the Ardencroft Association, which owns the 70 acres on the new community is being built, protested that the project will wipe out two and possibly three houses, one of which was built only last year. In addition, three to five other lots in the community will be wiped out by the road project, he said. The need for the costly road improvement was questioned at the meeting, when it was pointed out that Veale Road comes to an end at Harvey Road.

The meeting, called by the directors of the Ardencroft Association, was held at the home of H. D. Ware, one of the directors, with 25 persons attending. H. L.

Keen, right of way engineer, and L. W. Novinger, planning and design engineer, presented the Highway Department's blueprints for the road project. involves Veale Road from Harvey Road to Marsh Road, through Westwood Manor and Ardencroft. Mr.

Stephens pointed out that the project will wipe out the usefulness of up to lots already rented to leaseholders. Ardencroft contains 79 leaseholds on its 79 acres. Land is rented on long term leases to individuals for home building; the community pays its operating expenses from rents. Mr. Novinger told the meeting that the Veale Road project was planned with "no knowledge of any Ardencroft plans." Ardencroft is a planned community whose layout was drawn up by architects, based upon the information available.

The community was planned and came into existence in 1950. The planners left a 50-foot right of way for the road. Now, the community is faced with a highway department plan that not only calls for a 60-foot right of way but also moves the center line of the road so as to infringe upon lots created by Ardencroft. Also, changing the level of the road ruins access to some lots. After listening to the protests will study the Ardencroft plan tonight, Mr.

Novinger said the and consider recommending revision of the Highway Department plan. Meanwhile, department had been ready to advertise for bids on June 15. It was announced tonight that the film of the Edward R. Murrow interview with J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist, will be shown at the Gild Hall Friday at 8:30 p.

m. Anna L. Strong Pines For Soviet WASHINGTON, June 8 (P). Anna Louise Strong, 69-year-old leftist writer arrested and deported from Russia in 1949 on charges of espionage and "diversionary activities," said today she wants to go back to the Soviet Union. She told a news conference that Soviet Ambassador Georgi Zarubin entertained her at an "excellent" embassy luncheon and personally assured her of a visa if the State Department will grant her passport request.

"Maybe I'll get it and maybe I won't," she said, "but I'll keep on trying until I do get a passport." Miss Strong said she also asked the State Department for permission to visit Communist China to write magazine articles and possibly a book. Only last March Moscow announced that spy charges had dropped against the writer -a former managing editor of the English language Moscow Daily News. Pravda blamed Lavrenti P. Beria, executed chief of secret police, for the incident. Miss Strong denies she is a Communist.
