After Half of Tanker
Will Be Converted Into
Worlds Largest Wine Ship

SAN FRANCISCO, R-The af-
ter 81 of a tanker which broke
in two off Alaska 10 years ago
was toved to Bethlehem shfpyard
here yesterday to begin an entire
ly new chapter in her career.
Built during World War II in
the crash shipbui1ding program,
the tanker, Sacketts Harbor,
broke up in a storm in 1916 and
her bow section sank. But the
stern, which contained generating
equipment, was taken to Anchor
age and used as a power plant by
the city after { dixie was built
around it.
Now the stern section will be
fitted with new stainless steel
tanks and pumps and a new bow
section and will become the larg-
est wine tanker in the world,
carrying California wines to the
gulf and east coasts and returning
with other liquid materials.

PLANNING SomersuuIt

The closely divided vote by which the
National Capital Planning Commission
has reversed It's previous split decision
against the Langley site for the Central
Intelligence Agency adds confusion to a
thoroughly confusing picture. Only a
month ago the commission ruled that it
would be wrong to build so large Federal
Office building In a residential area so
poorly equipped to sustain the impact.
Now the agency, In an upside-down ma
neuver, is on record, Z to 5, as favoring
such location. 1t is all rather be-
wildering.
The pulling and hauling on this i'm
portant matter reflect no credit on the
planning principle. And the divided
vote will encourage opponents of the CHA
invasion Of Langley to continue their
flght-perhaps at the Capitol. They face
an uphill battle, however, since Congress
already has authorized the CHA to build
there II that agency finally decides 1t
wants to do so. Furthermore, funds for
extension of the George Washington
Parkway to Langley have been approved.
Soon or late, costly improvements to
Chain Bridge and the District approaches
will be necessitated by the Langley prof.
ect. Perhaps some of these improve
mentS would have to be made, anyway,
in years to come. But there are no
definite plans and no District money
available now for any such undertaking
in the foreseeable future. So II it becomes
necessary to rebuild or replace Chain
Bridge and It's approaches for the benefit
of the CIA, it should be clearly understood
from the very outset that the job is not
proper charge against the District. There
should be no indecision and confusion
about this phase Of the CHA program.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Trumon's Fears for Foreign Policy

by Mr.. truman Tor an attack
on the administration Of for
eign policy by President Eisen-
hover is that the Democrats
have not been informed ade-
quately and given an oppor-
tunity to participate In foreign
policy decisions. The record,
however. win show that the
President has been careful, and
the Secretary Of State, too, to
give the picture Of the foreign
situation to the Democrats Of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and the House
Foreign Affairs COMMITTEES.
And, indeed, the Democrats,
under the leadership Of Sem
ator George, chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
and Senator Lyndon johnson.
majority leader of the Senate,
have co-operated fairly and
wen.
These Democratic attacks
on the foreign policy Of the
Eisenhower administration are
launched because the Repub-
lican President and Secretary
Of State have deyiated in some
respects from the Truman and
Roosevelt handling Of foreign
affairs. They are launched,
too, for political reasons-in
an effort to convince the voters
they should give back the
power to the Democrats. And.
indeed. Democrats argue that
discussion of foreign policy in
the presidential campaign is
justified. OF course it is. but
only where the wisdom Of spe-
cific acts is at issue. Blanket
charges that the Eisenhower
administration has weakened
the position Of the United
States by offending some or
any of our allies: that 1t has
weakened the position of the
country by trucking in any
way to the Communist world:
that it has been tough and
then mild in its dealings with
the Communists, will impress
the voters little, If any. There
are times to be tough and
times to be mild.
Eisenhower Big Advantage
The Democrats see the Re-
publicans making claims the
country has had peace and
prosperity at the same time
and taking credit. To Offset
this claim-which Is an ap-
pealing claim in politics-the
Democratic leaders are under
taking to attack and attack
and attack the Republican
President and his Secretary Of
State, in an endeavor to prove
to the voters a Democratic
President and Secretary Of
State could do the job better.
It's a field, however, In which
Eisenhower and Dulles have
all the advantages long as
they keep the country strong
and at peace.
