think G. W.'s Carl Butkas deserved

Waterways Corp. has turned
thumbs down on a plan TO move

Capt. Freeberg explained that a
program suggested by Representa-

Dakota. for moving the equivalent
of two trainloads of grain down the
Missouri from Yankton, S. D., could
not be carried out because the Fed
eral Barge Lines may not send
barges into a section of the river
not yet declared navigable.
The Federal Barge Lines, oper-
ated by the Inland Waterways
Corp, plans to make monthly trips
as far north on the Missouri as
