Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Hicks and

at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Han

The family from Kansas City
stopped by briefly on their way

spend several weeks. One of their
stops will be in Paris where they
will visit Mrs. Ernest Hicks

Last Sunday, the Hanson Hicks

Sea Captain 'sCharge
Puzzles u. 5. Agency

The State Department said
yesterday 1t was puzzled by the
charge Of American ship captain
Ben Krasner that the Depart
ment, by giving him only a pass
port home, had prevented him
from earning a living.
Press Officer Lincoln White
said Captain Krasner did get
only a one-way passport fat Hong
Kong, but that this is standard
procedure for seamen and does
not interfere with their occupa-
tion.
Mr.. White said Captain Kras-
ner has credentials from the
Coast Guard which are the nor
NAL internationally recognized
credentials for a sailor, and in
addition has his masters papers
showing he Is qualified to serve
as a captain.
Captain Krasner said at Hong
Kong that since he could not
get his unlimited American pass
port renewed. he lost chance to
captain an Australian ship be-
cause he couldn't get to Aus
tralia to take command.
The sea captain, who comes
from Brooklyn. was recently re-
leased after spending 18 months
in a Communist prison with
Newsmen Richard Applegate
and Donald Dixon.
Mr.. White said "Seamen dc
not normally get passports
When one does get q passport i,
is a restricted document good
only for travel home"

5. Admits Steps
10 Seek Alliance
With Chang Regime
/ Dy ths As.oeioted Pres,

The State Department finally
acknowledged yesterday that
Assistant Secretary Of State Wal
ter Robertson's mystery mission
to Formosa o month ago was
concerned In part with discus
sion Of q treaty of alliance be-
tween the United States and Ma
tionalist China.
The information came from
Press Ofiicer Henry Suydam in
response to inquiries about prog
ress on such a treaty.
From other sources 1t was
learned that there has now been
a modification Of the United
States attitude toward. q treaty
with Nationalist China 50 that,
If satisfactory provisions can be
drafted, the United States Is
willing to sign such pact.
Once Opposed to a Treaty.
Previously the United States
was willing only to talk about an
alliance, not act. United States
officials advanced various argu-
ments against such q treaty,
pointing to the problem Of Ma
tionalist-held islands along the
China coast and the idea that
the American Government might
some day decide to recognize Red
rule on the China mainland.
Nationalist Chinese Foreign
Minister George Yeh has been
here to discuss with Robertson
the possibility and nature Of the
treaty.
Mutual Security Treaty.
Mr.. Suydam reminded report
ers yesterday that, as was dis
closed last spring, the Chinese
!. Nationalist government and the
United States have been talking
about "the question Of o mutual
security treaty" for a year.
Most recently, Mr.. Suydam
! said, this question has been dis
!: cussed by Secretary Of State
Dulles when he visited Formosa
In September, by Mr.. Robertson
when he few to the island in
October and within the last few
days by Mr.. Yeh.
"To represent these discussions
as an innovation" Mr.. Suydam
said, "does not accord with the
facts"

stand to explain under oath why
he abstained from voting wher
the final form of the contract
was approved in the commission
by q 20 vote October S. Besides
Mr.. Murray, one newly appoint
ed commissioner did not take
part in the vote and there was
then one vacancy.
Mr.. Murray said that on that
occasion he reaffirmed his pre-
vious opposition to having the
plant constructed by Ebasco
Services, Inc, as planned, un-
less the commission got assur-
ances this would be in the Aces
best interests.
He said he also raised four
other objections, and that de
spite the fact that such vital
issues were unresolved, the
chairman in a surprising action
called for q vote on the con-
tract. Under the circumstances
I was left with no other alter
native but to refrain from vot-
ing"
Admiral Strauss has testified
that he and Commissioner Jo-
seph Campbell, also an Eisen-
hover appointee, cast the affirm
ative votes.
The Ebasco Company was the
construction agent for a new
plant recently finished at Joppa
ILL.,, to service the Acc. The
project ran into numerous diff
culties which Murray said will
result in an increase in the an
nual payment by. Acc Of 81, ,800,-
90 or approximately $40 million
over the life Of the contract.
He said Ebasco failed" or
this project and that the. failure
must be shared partly by the
Middle South Utilities, one OF
the two Dixon-Yates companies

however, they will provide an
outlet for Arlington bridge traf- :
fic volumes, leaving Constitution
avenue and other streets north
and south of the Mall to serve
the new Constitution avenue
bridge.
Members of the Fine Arts
Commission will meet Tuesday,
and undoubtedly will consider
the new plan informally. In
dividually, Fine Arts members
have criticized the bridges To-
cation in strong terms, feeling
that it would seriously impair
the areas esthetic values.
Meanwhile, District Highway
Director j. NJ Robertson said he
will get in touch with the Har-
risburg (Pa) consulting firm of
MaJeski & Masters tomorrow to
begin negotiating a contract for
the bridges design.
So Million Asked in Budget.
After a contract is approved,
the consultantS will draw the
preliminary sketches which will
be presented to the Fine Arts
Commission. After that, the
consultants will start the one
year job of detailed bridge plan
ming. The city already has
100000 in hand to pay for it.
Then the actual construction,
which will take about 21a years,
can start.
Mr.. Robertson said he has re-
quested SO million in the 1856
budget to get construction
started. That amount-as much
as could possibly be spent within
the 1856 year-would pay for
about half the bridges sub-struc-
ture work. Congress authorized
$24.5 million as the total cost.
and the money is provided for
in the city's long-range public
works program.
The siX-lane Jones Point
bridge, also authorized by Con-
gress in August, was first pro-
posed to be built by the District
but paid for by the Federal Gov
ernment. AS enacted. however,
the act placed the construction
responsibility with the Interior
Department.
Since any Federal structure
would be built by the Bureau of
Public Roads-even if supervised
oy 1nterior-the feeling is the
whole job should simply be
shifted to Commerce.
