Among Mr.. Heatwole's activi-
ties will be the job Of lining up
proponents of the channel i'm

BY JOHN W. STEP

A public hearing to determine
the need for expanding the
navigation channel Of the Po-
tomac River below Washington
win be conducted December 3
by the Washington Engineer
District Of the Army Engineer
Cofps.
The session. the only one to
be scheduled on the subject,
will begin at 1880 pm. in the
Alexandria City Council cham
bers. Col. George B. Sumner,
district engineer. wiz preside.
washington area business
and Government officials are
laying great stress on the
meeting. These interests. spear
headed by the Washington
Board Of Trade and the Alex
andria Chamber of Commerce
have been active lining UP wit
nesses to testify in favor Of i'm
proving the channel Of the Po-
tomac.
At a meeting last Friday
these groups agreed to press
for a channel IS feet deep and
800 feet wide. These dimen-
sions would accommodate
about 90 per cent Of the worlds
shipping from a standpoint OF
vessel size. The present author
tied dimensions are "a feet
deep and 200 feet wide.
Economic Benefits Seen
At a press conference today
William H. Press. executive
vice president Of the Washing
ton Board of Trade. said that
an improved channel in the
Potomac would have tremen-
dous economic benefits for the
ports Of both Washington and
Alexandria. The Nations Capt.
tai would be able to extend Its
passenger cruise service. which
to date has been restricted by
the present channel size. The
Virginia city would be able TO
broaden substantially its cargo
trade.
Citing a recent report Of the
Virginia State Ports Authority,
Mr.. Press pointed out that
shippers in the immediate area
could save an estimated 81 mill
lion annually If port facilities
were improved as recommended
Manufacturers and producers
from as far away as West vir-
ginia and Ohio would stand To
benefit as well.
The board ofiicial explained
that the harbor improvement
efforts are tied In with the
areas population and business
growth through the turn Of the
century. Mr.. Press said that
greater harbor facilities would
help meet the increased needs
for goods and services,

felt In Charlottesville. where q

TO the Supreme Court.
Here Is q summary Of the
status Of the pending suits In

John Paul has ruled that the
city must desegregate its

semester after the Supreme

they do. the city is forbidden
from denying them admission

the time involved IN preparing

before the case reaches the APP

outcome Is pretty well forecast

An additional point involved

A political worker for the

that this stiil doesn't return
placement authority to the
local school board.
In ordering admission Of the
seven Negroes TO white schools
Judge Bryan ruled they did
not have to use the placement
law. In effect. he held the
placement law unconstitutional
on grounds it was designed to
preserve segregation. His was
the first such ruling involving
specific requests of Negroes To
enter white schools.
Also, two Negro students who
were barred from Negro schools
for refusing to sign placement
forms were subsequently adj
mitted under Judge Bryani
orders.
