The recommended route, including the section shown here, enters the city from the northwest, bypasses the downtown area east of College and then heads west and southwest toward traffic interchange to merge incoming traffic and funnel it south and east of downtown Indianapolis. This is the fiist of a series of aerial strip maps showing the recommended routes for more than half of the $140 million interstate expressway network planned inside Indianapolis.

The north and east sides of the gym were disfigured over the weekend by vandals who painted "F's" on doorways and concrete approach walks. Vandals used the red cement paint on the north entrance Saturday night. Earlier in the evening Central's Greyhounds had beaten Franklin, 90-81, in a basketball game at Franklin.

There was a student free-for-all at the conclusion of the game. The milling mob was calmed down within a minute, but not before some punches had been exchanged. Players did not participate in the brawl. Indiana Central employees found the damage yesterday morning. Last night the vandals returned and painted red "F's" again on the north-side entrance-ways.

After that the Federal Bureau of Public Roads will be asked for route approval of sections already okayed by city, county and state officials. If approved, contracts with private engineering firms may be let later this year.

BY JACK AVERITT Ten years from today you'll be able to drive from Lebanon to downtown Indianapolis without stopping for a traffic light. You'll take a four-lane, sometimes eight-lane expressway where no pedestrians are allowed. Intersections, as far as the fenced-off superhighway is concerned, will be only a memory. You'll pass through one, perhaps two three-level traffic interchanges. Your trip will be quicker and safer than it was in 1960.

But don't expect to average the 50 or 70 mph design speeds of the new highways. There still will be traffic congestion. These are some of the predictions of Harry W. Lochner of Chicago. Planning highways is his business List of Dead and Injured From the Press Associations WELLINGTON, O.

VOTE DUE WEDNESDAY OX ONE INSTALLATION The controversy over the installation and operation of these plants erupted last year when residents of two north-side areas objected to plans for new ones to serve two new subdivisions.

A vote on one of these, proposed at 82d and Hoover Road, is scheduled Wednesday by the Metropolitan Plan Commission. Local health officials and the Metropolitan Planning staff, who favor the construction of these plants over installation of private septic systems, have admitted many of the 50 private systems row-used are not operated properly. Calvin S. Hamilton, plan commission executive secretary, requested in a letter last week to the sanitation board, that it should take over these private systems, run mostly by businesses and school and Lochner has been doing business in and near Tndianannlis nff Locher says, will be "passe.

Lochner's forecast hinges on two things.

First is the assumption that federal policy won't change and that federal funds, which finance 90 of the cost, will continue to be available as anticipated. Secondly, especially where expressways inside the city are concerned, continued cooperation of local and state officials is essential.

For months the congregation of the Soar Lelsh Baptist Chapel had been feuding over a move to fire a preacher. He eventually moved away but the feud continued. Yesterday the two opposition groups both ministers to the pulpit. Both spoke to the congregation simultaneously, each trying to shout above the other's voice. Both called for hymns to be sung and the congregation responded by -singing two hymns each side trying to drown out the other.

It got to be too much for a deacon who ran outside and called in a policeman. Police Sgt. Wally Portnell and a constable walked into the church and began shouting for quiet. They advised the 40.persons in the church to return home. The rivals filed out, still arguing.
