the canal area is the last natura

say more and better access roads

The various groups, however
find themselves in agreement or
one matter-that plans should be
made for the canal area. A we'll

further attempts to dam the

This is not considered as hin
drance to the proposed parkway.
The Park Service plan calls for
the retention of the major por-
ton of the original canal ditch
between Great Falls and Cumber-
land, although in some sections
the road would be forced to follow
the canal prism.
The roadway, while taking ad-
vantage of the old masonry
Iaqueducts. would be built around
the existing canal locks, thus re-
tanning all historic features along
the route.
Only a small portion of the
roadway would be forced to use
the body of the canal itself. A
greater portion of the route would
either be built along the canal
towpath, leaving the canal ditch
Intact, or along the towpath, uti-
lizing a portion of the ditch. For
about 5 miles, where the canal
uses the river, the road would, of
course, leave the canal.
If a double-lane highway were
constructed. both sides of the
canal would be used where possi-

places where the beam side of the

Where the canal travels through

The parkway would provide, as
Washington dreamed, an alter
nate route between Washington
and the West. It would connect
with U. S. Is at Point of Rocks,
and with roads leading south into
the Valley of Virginia at Harpers
Ferry. At Antietam it would con-
meet with a State road leading
to Hagerstown and U. S. 40 and
to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. At
Williamsport it would intersect
u. S. II, principal north-south
route, and it would again meet
~. S. 40 at both Hancock and
Cumberland. thus linking Wash
ington with the main north-south
and east-west highways.
In all, there would be Is ac-

would be: Seneca with Maryland

Opposition in Hagerstown to

"Git thar fustest with the most

Mai. Gen. Laurence S. Kuter's
globe -girdling Military Air Trans
port Service as it was when first
used by that eloquent language
mangler, Gen. Nathan Bedford
Forrest, in describing the success

War cavalry.

Forests men travelled light, the
lighter the faster; struck with
surprising suddenness and were

capacity, yet travel considerably
faster. carrying anything Amer
ica's combat forces need in a
hurry and that will fit in a plane.
In recognition Of his excellent
supervision of the farthest-reach-
ing military aerial lifeline the
world has known. Gen. Kuter has
been tapped by President Truman
for a third star that now awaits
Senate confirmation.
Holds Top Jobs
Gen. Kuter, who has directed
MATS since it's inception, has
never been far from the Air Forces
most important responsibilities
and assignments.
For instance, during World War
II, when a member of War Depart
ment general staff, he was author
of the basic plan for employment
of airpower. He subsequently
served as deputy chief of the Air
Staff; commanded Americas Fly
ing Fortresses based in England,
and was American deputy Air
Force commander in North Africa
until TuniS surrendered.
Still other big jobs awaited him,
including that of chief planner
for the late General of the Air
Force Arnold. Gen. Kuter also
was active in the organization and
operation of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and the Combined Chiefs
of Staff.
With the war over, he became
commanding general of the Air
Transport Commands Atlantic
Division, and from this assign
ment was appointed, with minis
ter's rank, American representa-
tive to the Council of the Inter-
national Civil Aviation Organiza-
tion. It was in March, 1948, that
he relinquished his diplomatic du-
ties to become commander-desig-
nate of the proposed MATS or
ganization.
Established June l, 1948, MATS
Is an integrated worldwide COM
mand providing strategic airlift
for all the Armed Forces, and
support of Air Force operations
with communications, weather,
rescue and flight monitoring serv-
Ices with overseas bases. It Is a
consolidation of the Air Transport

mand, and the Naval Air Trans

weeks old, and barely on its ad-

it received its first big assignment
This was on June 81. 1948. The
job was flying supplies to block
AIDED Berlin. BY July 9, Troop
Carrier C-54s were flying tc
Germany over MATS routes, with
the organization supplying route
support throughout.
Then Gen. Kuter really moved
his organization into high gear
The very next day, C-54s oper-
ated by MATS itself were flying
the Atlantic in support of the air
lift. On July % there were u
MATS C-54s-eight squadrons-

Inspects Routes
The rest of the story of the
Berlin airlift often has been told
Larger and faster transports were
placed in service, over the Atlantic
and then up and down the over
cast weather-hole known as the
Corridor, from Rhein-Main Air
Force Base at Frankfort to Tenn
plehof in Berlin. The 24-hour
operation with planes only three
minutes apart and a few hundred
feet above and below each other,
illustrated well the remarkable
possibilities of airlift in a ma
tional emergency and enabled
through this experience,
to undertake the already tabled
Pacific airlift.
And SO as the North Korean
war machine pushed past the 38th
Parallel last June, Gen. Kuter's
organization was ready to start
the longest strategic aerial supply
system the world has ever known.

Chesapeake Ohio Parkway Enoned Historic Gateway Westward
Plan Would Offer
Recreation and
Rood Advantages
By james BirchfieId

Development of a parkway fol-
lowing the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal between Great Falls and
Cumberland, Md, would at long
last bring to fplfillment George
Washington's dream of direct
connecting link between the Ma
lions Cipital and the West.
While this reason has its his
torical appeal, there are more con-
crete advantages to the parkway
plan, developed jointly by the
National Park Service and the
Bureau of Public Roads. The plan,
essentially, is means for utilizing
O white elephant" now in the
possession of the Government.
In a letter to Speaker of the
House Rayburn. Dale E. Doty,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior,
spoke of the many advantages
that would accrue from the park
way construction.
The parkway proposal, Mr..
Doty said, would function as an
approach to the Capital in con-
nection with the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway, now
well advanced in the process of
land acquisition and project con-
struction.
Recreation developments which
have Jagged far behind the popu-
lation increase in the Washington
area could be provided, and the
Governments investment in the
canal property could be developed
to its maximum on both the local
and national levels, Mr.. Doty con-
tinued. The canal property, he
said, has not been utilized any
where near its possibilities for
recreation.
Some Opposition
Furthermore. the project would
provide controlled access road IA
cilities from Washington well into
the mountains and in addition
would have outstanding scenic and
historic interests that could be
developed on the theme of "the
Historic Gateway to the West
ward"
"All of the study, analyses and
plans can be considered in reality
as a rediscovery of the Potomac
Valley wherein we have come to
consider anew each part of the
river and each part of the Potomac
Basin." Mr.. Doty said.
Although plans do not call for
the immediate construction of the
proposed parkway, opposition to
the project has developed in sew
eral quarters. The Park Service
has emphasized that the parkway
will not be constructed during the
emergency, stating that it is only
desirable to have a plan for the
area in the future.
The main opposition so far
comes from the HagerStown and
Baltimore areas. Observers have

Religion Is Not Retreat

Religion Is Not Retreat
FIRST Of these wrong ideas about
= religion is that it is retreat
from the world, a private confer
ence between God and the soul
and nothing more.
People holding this idea have lit.
orally fled from the world, they
have lived as hermitg, they have
taken VOWS of silence and not
spoken to living soul for years on
end, they have lived in little shut
in communities devoted to contem-
plation and prayer.
Now the relation between God and
the soul is extremely important.
Prayer and contemplation are the
very atmosphere OF religion, and the
Christian ought always to be truly
separate from the world. But re-
treating TO cell won't answer. No
body is any better for taking a vow
Of silence.
Jesus was not that kind Of
person. His apartness from the
world was not marked by
brick wall, but by his being a
different kind of person, in the
world.
