COMMUTERS' ORDEAL
Queens: The eastbound traffic on the Long Island Expressway has become unbearable. Why doesn't someone have the brains to open one of the westbound lanes at 5 P.M., for eastbound traffic going past Queens Blvd.? It might not solve the problem, but it certainly would alleviate it. W. WEBB WADE.
