Assdtedgue
Bridge Action
Being Spurred

A new attempt to get q bridge
to Assateague Island is expect
ed to be made at the 1861 ses-
sion Of the Maryland General
Assembly.
Hundreds Of lot owners in
the Washington area have q
stake in the legislation to be
offered. They are persons who
bought lots several years ago
on the isolated island on Mary
lands Atlantic Coast.
Reached only by ferry. the
sandy barrier reef stretching
for 35 miles below Ocean City
is now inhabited mostly by
wild ponies and waterfowl.
More than 1900 lots were
sold In the early 1950s on the
Maryland section Of the is
land. About az miles Is in Mary.
land and the remainder In
Virginia. Most of the Vireinia
section Is O wiIdlife refuge.
Several Efforts Made
Several attempts have been
made to span Sinepuxent Bay
which separates the island
from the mainland.
Leon Ackerman, Washington
developer who sold more than
1000 lots on the island, organ
lied q corporation In 1853 to
build a bridge but the project
did not get on the ground be-
cause the corporation failed to
put UP the bond required by
the State Legislature to insure
completion.
Two years later, the ASA
league Island Bridge Corp. wa
organized by property owner
on the island. 1t was given per
mission to build a bridge bu
lack Of funds halted the projec
after about a half mile o
cauSeway was built.

County. For years, Mr.. Gree,
has been recommending estah

NIL Owners Battle Todav
On Expansion New Boss
Secret Meetino
Held by HoIos
To Plot Strategy
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Stafi Writer

MIAMI, Jan. 20.-National
Football League club owners
get down to electing a new
commissioner today and then
come the fireworks as they
move on to the matter of ex-
pansion.
1t is possible, of course, that
a wrangle may develop before
a commissioner is named, but
it looks like soft-spoken Austin
Gunsel, who has been acting in
that capacity since the death of
Bert Bell last October, is in
line for the job.
Marshall Leahy, San Fran
cisco Forty Miners attorney,
repeatedly still has the support
of New York, Green Bay, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, but
several other clubs seemed dis
enchanted with him as a
prospect in view of his refusal
to leave San Francisco.
Compromise Choices
In the event a stalemate
should develop, Paul Brown,
coach and general manager Of
the Cleveland Browns, and Don
Kellett, general manager Of the
Baltimore Colts, are considered
logical compromise choices.
Brown, despite the fact that
he is not popular with all Of
his colleagues. has the admira-
ton of most because of his
proven administrative ability.
Kellett is popular with the
owners, but he has been i'll
recently, which may not help
his chances. He is not at the
meeting which means he can
do nothing, for the time being,
to antagonize anybody.
But the selection of a COM
missioner will get short shrift
compared to the time expected
to be spent on the problem Of
expansion. Secret" meetings
were held all over the swank
Kenilworth Hotel last night as
George Halas, owner-coach of
the Chicago Bears, tried to
group his forces for a success
full expansion move. George
Marshall of the Redskins still
expected to block it.
Their strategy" commented
