Writ Reopens Old Lane,
Cuts Across Subdivision

A 100-year-old country lane,
threading through a North Ar
lington subdivision. is being re-
opened today under court or
der.
The lane slices across a half
dozen extensively developed
home sites and newly con-
structed roads.
Miss Anna Hedrick, an at
torney and property owner in
the Rlvercliff subdivision on high
ground above the Potomac River.
won the court order against
Dover Heights, Inc, a develop
ment firm.
Caught in the middle of the
legal action are purchasers OF
lots and homes valued up to
$40. 900 in the new Dover sub
division. A hulldozer yesterday
began cutting through side and
back yards reopening the lane
New Roads Built
The Dover subdivision lies be-
tween Military road and Miss
Hedrick's property The lane
zig-zags through the new sub
division from Military road and
in years past provided access to
river-front property.
New subdivision roads built by
Dover Heights provide more
direct access to Miss Hedrick's
property and to other river
front lots. Miss Hedrick owns
a three-acre undeveloped tract.
Miss Hedrick said the lane was
in existence as far back as 1852.
Persons who purchased property
overlooking the river were given
right-of-way access over the
country lane from Military road,
she said.
The lane was never dedicated
as a county road and has never
been accepted by the county for
maintenance. But it appears on
county maps and plat books as
North Twenty-fifth street.
The Arlington Circuit Court
ruled last October that the Dover
subdivision developer. Paul T.
Stone, had no authority to close
the country lane even though he
provided better access to the
Iriver-front properties.
Decision Is Upheld
Mr., Stone, through Alexandria
attorney Armstead Boothe, APP
pealed the decision but the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court last month
upheld the lower court.
Dover Heights, Inc, has now
been ordered to appear in Airing
ton Circuit Court on June 8 to
explain why the lane was not re-
opened within 80 days of the
final Supreme Court ruling.
Miss Hedrick said property
owners who bought in the new
subdivision were fully aware of
the lanes existence.

The Alaska Tennessee Plan
 Ru ROR BARTLETT

WASHINGTON - Tomorrow Alaskans will have an opportun- ity which came to Americans of earlier generations as new states were carved out in our westward march, and which may never be repeated again in the history of our country, to place their stamp of approval upon constitution for a new state, together with settling upon a method to hasten statehood.
 That method is the Alaskan Ten nessee Plan covered in Proposi- tion No. g. Approval of this plan will enable Us to direct to mod ern usage a system of bringing statehood sooner, which has been uniformly successful in the past. If course no one can give guaran- tees that it will now succeed. But I have never known Alaskans to demand insurance against every contingency No one guar antees the prospector's success when he goes to the hills. His frontier spirit drives him in search of his goal and in our search for statehood we should be no less daring and imaginative than our ancestors in their quest for statehood and our Alaska pio- neers who established our land.
 Last January 19, in a message to President William A. Egan of the Constitutional Convention, endorsed the Alaska Tennessee Plan. There has been nothing since then which has caused me in the slightest degree to continue other than warm advocacy of this, the only reasonable and sensible suggestion which has been offered to achieve statehood.
 It is my hope this plan and the Constitution itself will be adopted by overwhelming major ities.

36 OutbOard MOtOrbOats Missing in Race Found After Big Air-Sea Search

LONG BEACH, Calif., R-The Coast Guard relaxed a little today after one of the biggest air-sea search operations in years found 36 outboard motorboats once re- ported missing in a race from the mainland to Santa Catalina Island.
 Cowboy star Roy Rogers and actor John Dereck were among some 80 persons lost.
 There were 209 boats entered in the race which began Saturday sponsored by U. s. Inc.
 It should have been a quick jaunt for the little speedsters. The winner, Bud Doyle, 26, Winter haven Fla, made the 21-mile run in 37 minutes.
 But foggy weather, ground swells and perhaps of lack of sea- going savVy on the part of the weekend pilots played havoc with the race. Many returned to main land ports, others got lost or ran out of fuel, or both.
 The search started with air planes before darkness Saturday and lasted for 27 hours before all were reported safe.

 William Ross, 56, Los Angeles accountant, said yesterday that Lennie, who won $1OO,0O0 on the NBC-TV Big Surprise" show Sat urday, was more interested in politics than the stock market.
 However, the father said he let his son select some of Mrs. Ross stock last year and they've earned at least 107 percent"
 AS for the $10O,00O, the father said: "It's all his. I don't get any of it."
 Lennie and his mother are ex- pected to return from New York in about a week.
 The boy answered five compli- cated questions about the stock market Saturday night, becoming the fourth contestant to capture the top money.

EISENHOWER TO TEST RUSSIA'S
 NEW FOREIGN POLICY OF PEACE

believe anyone knows who IS Wln- ming the cold war, but added that those who say the West is winning "can point to some facts rather than merely allegations.
 Eisenhower proposed the crea- ton of a sort of brain trust to ad- wise the government on foreign policy, rotating advisory board of private citizens, he called it.
 Without going into detail, Eis- enhower said such men would be free of the responsibilities of of flee and would be able to devote their brains to the job
 At the same tiI0e he renewed his appeal for a long-range US. foreign aid program, an issue now pending before Congress. He said that as a former colonial subject of the British Empire, the United States understands and respects the views of nations more recently free and accepts "the right of each nation to choose its own path to the future"

By John Nj. Highfower

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover Administration is develop ing it's own test of the widely ad- vertised peaceful purposes behind Russia's new look foreign policy.
 The heart of the challenge as defined by President Eisenhower is that Russia's leaders should wipe out the "wrongs of Stalin" which he said still prevail against other nations. He said those wrongs include the division of Germany and Korea, the Euro pean satellite regimes and the uncertainty of peace in Asia.
 Eisenhower laid out his ideas on Soviet relations in a speech before the annual dinner of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) Saturday night.
 In an off-the-cuf addition to his speech, Eisenhower listed a series of what he termed "cold war victories" He said he doesn't
