trips from Norfolk to RoSslyn

In response to inquiries by
Col. Adams, Mr.. Edmonds said
the deliveries could not be made
entirely by barge. He said at
one point that a fixed span
definitely would mean our tank
operation would cease" James
De Gaudenzi of American Oil
said that substituting truck for
ship deliveries would raise the
price of the products by about
Is cents per barrel.
The District Fire Department,
through Deputy Chief Fred Lit
teral. voiced its concern, as we'll.
He said it is very essential"
that the city fireboat can pass
the bridges to get to the George
town waterfront industries.
Comdr. Clarence N. Daniel Of
the 5th Coast Guard District said
a fixed span would raise some
problems for Coast Guard work
but nothing that could not be
overcome.

The Washington district en-
gineer today was screening nearly
four hours of testimony, divided
on the issues of whether the
proposed new Constitution ave-
nue. bridge should be built with
out a drawnspan and whether
draw service on the existing
Potomac River bridges should be
stopped.
The Engineer Corps officer, Col.
Ray Adams, said it probably will
be two or three months before
he and his staff reach their de-
cisions. After that. their recon-
mendations will be forwarded to
the Secretary of the Army for
final action.
The hearing was prompted by
the District Highway Depart
ment's request for PERMISSION to
build the authorized Constitution
avenue bridge with an immovable
span over the navigation channel.
The Engineer Corps decided to
examine the drawbridge situa-
ton on all Potomac bridges here
while 1t was about it.
$4,000 Saving Seen
Officials of the Highway De-
partment spoke in favor of aban-
doning all draw service on the
Potomac.
Carl A Wilson. engineer of
bridge construction and mainte-
nance. said $4,000 annually
would be saved in the operation
of each of the Fourteenth street
bridges every year if the draws
were permanently closed.
G. I. Sawyer, chief of the
Highway Department office of
design, planning and engineer
ing, pointed out that, if the pro-
posed new bridge is built with a
draw. span, it will mean an extra
cost of $l.9 million. If movable
span is required for the ultimate
replacement of the old Four
teenth Street Bridge, construc-
ton cost will jump by SIS mil
lion. Congress has authorized
$24,5 million to build structure
at Constitution avenue.
BY permitting a fixed span,
Mr.. Sawyer said, total of about
100000 yearly would be saved
In operation costs.
Others Lend Support
Support for the Highway De-
partment position came from
Walter Kurylo, administrative
officer of the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads. and Washington
I. Cleveland, secretary of the
District division of the American
Automobile Association.
The chief criticism against the
proposal came from industries
that now depend to a large ex-
tent on drawbridge service to ply
their trade.

Spentonbush Fuel Transport
Service, Inc, which carries gaso-
line and fuel oil for distribution

'Drop-Out' Provision
Social Security Aid
CONTINUED from page one)


MilbOueT explained further that
monthly benefits under social Sc
curity are computed on average
monthly earnings. Consequently,
any year of low or no earnings un-
der social security will result in a
lower benefit. The drOp-Out pro-
vision of the amended law provides
that as many as four or five years
may be dropped when computing
an individuals benefit. Five years
may be dropped only when the in
dividual has 20 quarters (abOut five
years of work. under social securi-
ty.
All persons who reach 65 after
August, 1854, will automatically
have their benefit computed with
the drop-out provision. Mr.. Mil
bOuer advised that benefciaries
who were receiving benefits in Aug
ust, 1854, should consult with the
nearest social security district off
ice if they have acquired six quar-
ters of cOVerage after June, 1853.
1t may mean a higher benefit for
them.

DELAWARE WING

The meeting on Tuesday evening
of this week of the Milford Squad
ron, CAP, was one that held much
interest for all. The attendance
was sixteen, and many new faces
were to be seen in the group. Keep
bringing in those new prospective
members. We need them!
Capt. Groverman informed the
Squadron that our practice Search
And Rescue-Civil Air Patrol (SAR-
Cap, scheduled for March 9Th,
has been called off. The reason for
this is the Memorial Flight being
scheduled at RehObOth Beach, Del,
on that date. The Flight is to COM
memOrate the deceased members of
the Civil Air Patrol, who saw ser
vice during World War II, flying
their single-engine planes out over
the ocean, on submarine patrol.
A very interesting program is in
the making and demonstrations by
various CAP units will provide
interested persons a "fingernail"
sketch of what CAP is doing to
help in the defense of America. To
round-Out the Flight, approximate
ly $50 or more planes will fly in
mass formation out over the ocean
and drop flowers.
This Flight is not limited to CAP
members alone, the public being
invited to attend the ceremonies.
Don't miss this. From what we can
learn, it is to be a national affair
with radio, news and TV cameras
being there to cover the story.
New Operating Procedures, in the
event of an alert were "hashed'
over, and various duties assigned
to the members.
1t. Nick Lung, USAF, gave an
OrientatiOn class on GEO-REF,
which includes different grid CO.
Ordinates in various sections of the
world. GEO-REF is an essential
part of reading aerial and ground
maps, so that when CAP Pilots
and Observers locate the dOwned
aircraft or wreckage of same, they
can relay the grid cOOrdinates tC
Ground Rescue Teams, and they in
turn, proceed to that location tC
carry out their training in rescue
work. 1t is indeed a vital part Oi
CAP Search and Rescue work.
Following this, 1t. Earl Wiggs
Training Officer for the Squadron
showed a film on "Jet PrOpul.
SION, in color. This very infOrma.
tive film explained the theory OF
jet propulsion in detail, with illus.
tratiOns being drawn-up by the
creative hand of Walt Disney, Also
shown were slide pictures by Bill
