To Modify
EorIy Plans

Protests over insufficient hori-
lzontal clearance through the pro-
posed Woodrow Wilson Bridge
at Jones Point will not delay con-
struction, even If plans are modi-
fed, in the opinion of Represent
Iative Broyhill. Republican OF
Virginia.
Preliminary plans for the
Potomac River span, authorized
by Congress, call for a space $50
feet wide to permit vessels to
pass through.
The Virginia State Ports Au-
thority and other groups have
urged a width of at least 200
feet. The directors warned that
$50 feet would be hazardous to
river traffic and might curtail
future port development.
The Alexandria City Council
last night backed requests for
a wider draw span for Jones
Point bridge but on the condi-
ton that it not delay construc-
ton of the bridge.
Sometime in the not too
distant future, we hope to have
a port here we can be proud Of"

to do anything to ieopardize the

Mr.. Broyhill. addressing the
Virginia Hills Citizens Associa-
ton last night, said that, in APP
propriating more than $14 mil
lion for the bridge. Congress pro-
vided for a clearance of about
$50 feet.
Congress Can Act
1t may be possible, he said, to
interpret this provision to allow
sufficient additional width to
meet the objections. Otherwise.
congressional action to increase
the clearance could be taken
early in the next session, assur-
ing virtually no delay in con-
struction, he added.
The Congressman said he
blew off little steam" when
he was called by a Ports Au-
thority official who urged more
clearance.
I'VE had hearings and hear
ings and hearings" Mr.. Broyhill
said, land then after it's all

was brought up all evening.

His work tor a Federal en-

Mr.. Broyhill as part Of a legis-

 Egypt took over ownership of the canal July 26 It had been run by the Suez Canal Co.,, a private business organization dominated by British and French interests.
 Most of the canal pilots had been British or French. After Egypt nationalized the canal, many failed to return from home from leaves and vacations. Egypt was said to need 200 more pilots to keep traffic normal thru the canal, and has been advertising abroad in an effort to get them.

 Newsmen were not permitted to question the six on details of the crash.
 Still missing in the crash were Mrs. Margaret Lem, Toronto, and her baby daughter. Searchers be- lieved their bodies would be found in the wreckage of the plane or in the frigid waters which lap the tidelands around the emergency landing strip at Cold Bay.
 Rescuers who went to the crash scene from Kodiak said wreckage was scattered along the Cold Bay beach for quarter of mile. Ii was described as a beach which is covered with to feet of wat CT at high tide.
 Capt. Thornton A. Tweed, the 32-year-old captain of the ill- fated plane, was taken to a hos pital at Kodiak. He had a skull fracture and was in serious con- dition.
 None of the dead passengers were burned.
 Stewardess Raymonde Ouelette, of Vancouver, who flew back with the survivors, said they told her some of the crew and passen- gers were thrown clear; others crawled from the wreckage.

The prospects for winning statehood for Alaska in the next session of Congress good, and stantly getting better The socalled Tennessee Plan appears to be appropriate It is winning strong support and approval in high places.
 Both political parties have taken strong stand in favor of immediate statehood. There is reason to predict that the Administration will take similar strong stand.
 It could be that Alaska will approach the next Congress in stronger position than before in seeking it's place in the federal union.
 This tremendous build-up is largely the result of the determination and courage of Aaskans themselves. It started last winter when the territory wrote it's state constitution. It grew stronger when AlaSkanS voted last spring to ratfy the constitution and also go ahead with the Tennessee Plan for seeking admission
 These two developments have already drawn the interest and approval of friends throughout the nation Secretary of the Interior Seaon long statehood advo- cate, has shown his willingness to throw the full weight z of his office behind it.
 Perhaps the most courageous thing Alaskans have done is to vote for the Tennessee Plan It is simply plan to seek statehood by acting like state without delay Aaskans will elect their two Senators and Representative to go to Washington next January. Those men will, in effect knock on the doors of Con- gress and ask to be seated Seven states have been ad mitted by doing exactly this There is known why Alaska should not have the same success.
 The presence of these elected officials in Wash ngton should do much draw this nations attention to the plight of Alaska. This will be helpful because Alaska has many friends who will rally to her support when it is needed These friends include virtually all the press of the nation And it includes 82 percent of the people of the United States according to the latest Gallup poll on that subject.
 It is important that Alaskans should pick power fu team of saesmen to go back to Washington their representatives They must be able to coordinate all this favorable sentiment outside of CongreSs-in the press among the people, and in the Administration. They must also be able to present their story, with this powerful backing to the Congress itself that favorable legislative action will be forthcoming.
 The selections will be made the general election October g. will be one of the candidates Although have never apred to public office and not politician will be happy and proud to do what can to win statehood if Alaskans see fit to elect me

Strongly backed Dy the Al

would establish promotion boards
in each agency composed of a
union representative, a manage
ment official and a chairman to
be selected by the Civil Service
Commission.
The Ages executive council
at its recent meeting charged
that lack Of any promotion sys-
tenn In Government has resulted
in personal favoritiSm and pa
ltronage in handing out promo
ltions. Consequently, employe
morale has been badly hurt as
deserving employees are passed
over when promotions are avail
able, the council asserted.
The pending bill would give
the promotion boards the final
authority on all promotions,
