Legislation was considered or
Capitol Hill.
The phrase specifies that the
new Alexandria bridge shall pro-
vide approximately $50 feet
between piers in the navigation
channel.
Since Congress final action or
the bill last May %. the Stipu-
lated 150-foot width has drawn
many protests from the Navy
and private navigation interests
3O0-FOOt Width Sought
The protests, asking that the
width be increased to as much
as 300 feet. have flowed into
Offices Of the Army Engineers,
who must approve plans before
Potomac bridges can be built
The plans, calling for the 49,
foot width stipulated in the law
were submitted by the Federal
Bureau Of Public Roads, which
would build the bridge.
Routinely, laws for new Poto-
mac bridges simply refer the
channel pile widths and vertical
IclearanceS to the Engineers, en-
powered under a 1916 act to de-
Itermine them. The Jones Point
act also says construction shall
be lin accordance" with the
General Bridge Act of 1896"
But it names the specific verti-
cal and width clearances at the
same time.
Engineers Are On Spot
So the Army Engineers are on
this spot:
Should they consider that the
stipulated width Of approx
mately $50 feet" is a clear d.

prove the plans on that basis?
Or. should they consider the
protests. and take some other

There's something symbolic
about Bethlehem's souvenir. The
ore in the box-the raw material
was brought by ship to Spar
rows Point for processing. The
polished steel rod represents the
finished product shipped out by
this giant industry.
Bethlehem is frankly proud of
the full cycle" of manufacture
ing that takes place here. The
same ships that dock to dis
charge cargoes of ore are laden
with finished steel products be-
fore they depart for distant
ports.
When the late Charles M,
Schwab decided that Bethlehem
should acquire the Pennsylvania
Steel Co.'S plant here in 1916,
many in the industry shook their
heads. They doubted the
wisdom Of a major investment in
an integrated steel mill on tide
water. The plant is at the en-
trance to Baltimore Harbor on
the PatapSco River near its
junction with Chesapeake Bay.
But Mr.. Schwab rightly pre-
dicted the day would come when
steel companies would want to
import quantities Of ore by water.
In 1916 the plant had an
annual capacity of $4,000 ingot
tons Of steel.
BY the outbreak Of the Korean
war in 1850. capacity was about
5 million tons. Since then a rs
per cent increase has raised
capacity to today's figure of So
million tons.
And now Bethlehem is in the
midst of another expansion pro-
gram which will make the
Sparrows Point mills larger than
any steel plant now existing.
So Million Tons
Upon completion, probably
late in 1857, this plant will
be capable Of turning out 81
million tons of ingot steel every

Mr.. Karrick, who said he was
speaking as an individual, went

anything wrong with borrowing
money for schools. But he said
he did not know how many

Mr.. Gasch said they are all
busy men and it is difficult to
get a quorum even four times q

The legislation he will propose,
he said, will provide for a board

There would also be a hearing
officer authorized to hold hear

empowered to revoke or suspend
licenses. The physician could
then appeal to the Municipal
Court of Appeals. Mr.. Gasch
pointed out that since that court
is current, a final decision could
be reached within six months.
