More Roadside Markers-One OF
the most interesting features OF
highway travel in Virginia-his-
torical markers-is being ex-
|panded. Already, some 1.400 have
been erected to provide convenient
notice of places and events note
worthy in the States history since
it was founded as q colony of
Britain. Fifteen more markers re-
Gently have been added, according
to an announcement by the Vir-
ginia Commission of Conservation
and Development.
One points out that Kentucky
once was a part of Virginia. and
recalls the little-known fact Daniel
Boone once represented the County
of Kentucky in the Virginia Legis-
lature.
Other new markers point to the
birthplace of Martha Washington
in New Kent County: the famous
Colonial mansion. Tuckahoe. west
of Richmond. where Thomas JEFF
ferson began his childhood studies;
the site of Fort Dickinson, erected
by the Virginia Legislature in 1756
Another tells the story of the
Lewis -McHenry duel, which spur
red the State to outlaw dueling
in 1910.

'Copters Get
Attention for
Air Travel
By Horace Sutton

NEW YORK. A new egg.
beater age is at hand. Twirline
helicopters have crossed the At.
lantic. In London they have
recently undergone a week Of tests
to determine their suitability fol
short-haul passenger flying.
Normal. fixed wing aircraft
have been winging across oceans
and continents with such speed
that the elapsed time it now
takes a passenger to negotiate
between city and airport is COM
pletely out of proportion to flying
time. The growth of cities. push
ing airports farther and farther
away from the metropolitan hub
plus worsening traffic entangle-
ments. are obviating the great air
speeds which the airlines have
developed.
One of the worst situations
exists in Detroit. Willow Run Air
port is 80 miles from the center
of town. A recent traveller who
makes his home in a New York
suburb reports that it took him
longer to get from Detroit to the
airport and from La Guardia
Field in New York to his home
than the elapsed flying time be-
tween Detroit and New York.
Helicopter service from the CEN
ter of city to the outlying air
port is in the immediate of1ing.
A spokesman for British European
Airways estimates his company
will place the system in practical
operation within a couple of years
or less. Lord Sholto Douglas.
chairman of BEA, has recently
visited virtually every helicopter
manufacturer in the United
States. He has been seeking a
80 or 40 place helicopter which
would transport passengers and
their hand baggage from airport
to city in a matter Of minutes.
In addition to the shuttle serv-
ice from airport to city. Lord
Douglas also sees the helicopter
as a practical means Of air trans
port for distances from so to $50
miles.
In the British Isles, whose large
population cities are near each
other. BEA has been conducting
a helicopter experimentation since
1947. Regular service has been
running in two-passenger ships
between Liverpool and Cardiff and
Birmingham and London. The
egg beaters cut train time by al
most two-thirds.
Helicopter shuttle mail service
between New York's three airports
La Guardia, Newark and Idle
wild-is due to start on october /.
Passenger shuttle service, accord
ing to local estimates, Is "at least
two years or more away" and
commercial transporta-
ton by egg-beater is perhaps
five years away" First. the hell
copter men say, they are going to
practice with mail bags.

FUZZY FLIES FIRST FLIGHT

Fuzzy" the Goodrich crow, made his first solo flight this week in Cow Alley.
 But the big problem is that his, his name will have to be changed.
 When young Lloyd Goodrich got the tiny baby crow a few weeks ago, the name fuzzy described him (her) (it) to a T. But with Lloyd's solicitous care, he is "fuz- zy' no longer. He (she) Gt) has sprouted sturdy aiIeron and stab ilizer feathers, hence the first solo yesterday.
 Fuzzy, when not taking flying lessons from his master, rides a. round on his masters arm, taking in the sights with a pair of alert blue eyes. He (she) (it) promises to be one of the new pets of Cow Alley, along with Betsy, t h e Goodrich dog and Troubles, the family's cat. Lloyd's brother and sister, Kenneth and Linda, have al- so had a hand at raising and baby tending the latest family pet.

Gruening was editing the Nation, or some other lefty publication and Bob Bartlett was still unheard of in public life, Al Day was being trained ill the old conservation pol icy of federal control of federal re- sources. Despite the new dealers there has been no evidence that the policy has changed one iota, and Bartlett. as the Delegate to Congress should know it, probably does.
 Bartlett made considerable of the report that the congressional com mittee had approved of the trans fer, but overlooked the report of the reliable Associated Press that only four of the Remember com- mittee were present when the ac- tion was taken.
 It begins to become more and more obvious that Bobs flim-flam of Alaskans on the fisheries trans fer is a desperate effort to get re- elected next October. As an errand boy of the Interior Department while an alleged representative of the people of Alaska, the Delegate to Congress expresses surprise"
 Wonder what it would be like to have an Alaskan Delegate back in Congress with a little intestin- al fortitude. It's been a long. long time.

1A1NOIlOhAGE Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman an bounced today that he has signed public land order eliminating z9'0oO acres from the Tongass Ma uonal Forest, which has headuuar- ters at Juneau, Alaska. The elimin- alton action is the latest in ser les of cooperative moves between the Forest Service of the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Interiors Bureau of Land Management. ELM Director Marion Clawson said. Since these Tongass lands have been determined not primarily suitable for National Forest.

 Persons occupying tracts under permit from the Forest Service are accorded preference right to se- cure those tracts. Small tracts have been surveyed by the BLM in some areas and will be opened to lease and eventual purchase soon, stated Lowell M. Puckett, ELM Regional Administrator for Alaska. Survey ing crews are busy this summer throughout the area laying out ad- ditional homesites for lease and private ownership. Puekett said. Further surveys and classification will be undertaken later so that additional lands may be opened to entry. Scenic strips along high ways are being retained for the preservation a d protection of scenic and recreational values.
 Requests for further information concerning the elimination and the availability of the lands should be to the Manager, Land Off, flee, Bureau of Land Management, Box 1740, Anchorage, Alaska.
