4. This proposed resolution has
been approved by the House Ju-
dietary Committee and is now on
the Houses consent calendar. 1t is
given a good chance of passing and
will then go to the Z. S. Senate.
5. Congressman Mcdowell also
has introduced a bill containing
more specifics regarding the con-
struction and operation of bridges
and ferries across the Delaware
River and Bay.
6. This bill would permit the use
of Delaware Memorial Bridge tolls
for a second Memorial Bridge and
remove the time limit for collect
ing tolls. (Under present law, the
Delaware Memorial Bridge must
be toll free when the current
bonds are paid off; and this will
happen within several years, if
Congress fails to pass the Nc
Dowel bill.)
Z. The Mcdowell bill would also
permit bridge tolls to be used to
subsidize a Cape May-Lewes ferry.
(Bond houses in New York have
indicated that they are so sure of
Delaware Memorial Bridge busi-
ness, that they wouldn't object to
the use of bridge tolls for ferry
which has not SO far been declared
financially feasible.)
The Mcdowell bill went to the
House Public Works Committee,
and objections were raised only on
the possibilities of bridge tolls be-
ing used for facilities not directly
connected with a ferry. Also, the
Commerce Department said TOLLS
paid by highway users should not
be devoted ito the building of ware
houses, piers or ferry slips not di-
rectly used for auto-truck ferries.
Hence, Latchum said, the Nc
Dowell bill was amended so as to
prevent this diversion of bridge
toll money.

Mcdowell is vigorously opposing
the GSA stand and said it would
be ridiculous for the state to pay
several hundred thousand dollars
to get back land sold to the
government for nominal fee.
In his letter to Bove, Mcdowell
asked the attorney generals office
to supply him with all valuable in
formation on Fort Miles. 1t will be
used in his fight to have the land
returned without paying the 509o.
Specifically, Mcdowell would
like to know the original pro-
visions made when the land was
transferred to the government and

The Lewes Rotary Club heard a
talk recently on the value of
theapeutis hypnotism.
DR.. William T. Reardon of Will
mington, an eye, ear, and nose
specialist, said therapeutic hypno-
tism has been approved by the
American Medical Association and
that 'the course is now being
given in the better medical
He described the practice as an
other "do it yourself" feature in
the present day trend, saying the
patient actually does the work
himself in order to remove mis-
conceptions about his ailments
with the cooperation of the family
physician.
"The patient is not put to sleep
after the manner of old-time
vaudeville hypnotists. Relaxation
is the key word. 1t has a tendency
to quell fear which reacts on the
physical condition. If enough peo-
pie are interested in this practice
it will encourage more doctors to
try it out"
DR.. Reardon thinks it will lend
ultimately to the disuse of the
huge amount of tranquilizers now
being bought by disturbed people.
while medical hypnotism is not
actually "a sleeping state" he

ual lis increased, not dulled. The

that state. If the patient desires,
the subconscious will not manifest
itself as pain"
He stressed that the prime pur-
pose of this type of hypnotism lis
to develop relaxation. The patient
can apply it himself after his doc
tor shows him how. He expressed
the hope that more and more
physicians will adopt the practice
Continuing, he added: There is
no coercion of patients. They will
not do anything they don't want to
do" He said he uses the practice
in his own profession. 1t could be
used as an anesthetic, and will
eradicate the emotional turmoil be-
fore taking regular anesthetics,
and requireless drugs for sedation

Blood Spots In Eggs

Blood spots chat are occas-
ionally found in eggs are caused
by the rupture of blood vessel in
the hen, says VIM. H. Henderson,
Sussex County Agent. There are a
lot of theories about the cause of
this condition, but pouDtrymen at
the University of Delaware h V e
scientific advice
A how supply of vitamin A IN a
laying ration may cause an IN
crease in blood spots. This C a n
usually be corrected by an adj
equate supply of vitamin A. Sim
ilarly, high energy rations may
lead to more spots. A ration con-
tanning 16 to 18 percent protein
will usually give more blood spots
than a Ia percent ration.
Henderson reports that Gagged
birds are more likely to lay spot
ted eggs than those raised on lit
ter. The theory that fright produc-
es spotted eggs has been disproved
many times in tests.
An adequate diet and the seuec-
tion of strains of birds that aren't
predisposed to spotting can go a
long way toward eliminating t h S
problem, Henderson says.

James l.. Latchum, Wilmington
attorney, who is counsel for the
Delaware Memorial Bridge Com
mission, has stated that a Cape
May-Lewes ferry can be financed
and subsidized with tolls from the
Delaware Memorial Bridge, under
legislation pending in Congress.
An incorrect Associated Press
story from Washington, last Tues,
stated that amendments to DEL
New Jersey River and Bay authord-
ty legislation would prohibit use
of bridge tolls in financing the
construction of piers, warehouses
and ferry slips in Sussex County
and in Cape County, N. ].
When this story hit sussex
County and southern New Jersey
last Wednesday, tempers flared
among the advocates of a Cape
May-Lewes ferry.
They burned up telephone lines
to Washington and to Wilmington,
demanding to know what was
what
AS it turns out, prospects for a
ferry between Cape May and Lew
es are tas bright and rosy as ever.
Amended legislation pending IN
Congress pertaining to Delaware
Bay ferry would prohibit use OF
Delaware Memorial Bridge toll
money for terminals, piers, ware
houses or any facility that has no
direct connection with a public
ferry.
The Commerce Department does
not like the idea of highway or
bridge toll money being diverted
for railroad facilities, airports,
warehouses for goods, or piers for
private shipping interests.
And that's how come the Asso-
cfated Press made the error that
gave the wrong impression.
A summary of events dealing
with the Delaware River and Bay
authority was outlin ed by
Latchum.
1. U. S. Rep. Harris B. Nc
Dowell, Jr., of Delaware, had in
troduced joint resolution for Con-
gressional approval of a part al
ready agreed upon by Delaware
and New Jersey to set up a BIZ
state authority.
2. The bi-state authority would
assume administrative responsible
ity for the Delaware Memorial
Bridge; be empowered to build a
twin Delaware Memorial Bridge
adjacent to the existing SPAN Is
northern side; construct a n
operate any other crossing of the
Delaware River and Bay deemed
feasible and necessary. This would
include a ferry between Cape May
and Lewes.
8. The Bi-State authority would
be composed of ten members, five
from each state. The governor o.
each state would appoint five rep
resentatives from his state.

Rep. Harris B. Mcdowell, Jr., D.
Del, has asked Atty. Gen. Januar
ID. Bove, Jr., to aid him in the flgnt
to return Fort Miles to Delaware
without cost.
In a letter to the attorney
general, Mcdowell said it would
cost possibly hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars for Delaware to
recover the land under the federal
governments terms,
He said also he will bring the
case before the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee for a showdown
hearing.
The General Services Admins
tration contends that If Delaware
wants to get the Fort Miles beach
front back, it must pay 5Oao of its
assessed value.
Delaware sold Fort Miles to the
federal government for a nominal
sum 20 years ago for use as a
coastal defense installation, but
recently the government declared
500 acres of the fort, near Lewes,
as surplus.
Mcdowell recently introduced a
bill in Congress attempting to OBJ
tain part of the Cape Henlopen
beach front for a state park.

bill, the Department of the Army

Ice Conditions Forced
 Suspension of Oil Drilling

Frank C. Osment, Vice Presi- dent and Division Manager of Pan American Petroleum Cor poration has reported that ice conditions in Cook Inlet, Alas ka, have forced a suspension of the Cook Inlet No. IA Relief Well. This well was being drill led to kill the Cook Inlet No. 1 blowout. Both Cook Inlet No. l and the relief well were drilled in about 100 feet of water from floating vessel, the WODECO II, owned by Western Offshore Drilling. Drilling of the relief well and the killing of the Cook Inlet No. 1 We'll blowout are to be completed as early as pos sible next spring. The drilling vessel will be kept at Seldovia, Alaska, until that time. The re- lief we'll was drilled to II, 1,549 feet measured depth in 95 days when operations were suspend ed. Side tracking started at B. 755 feet to intersect the No. l We'll at 12,230 feet. Intermedi- ate casing was set at 5,489 feet.
 It had been hoped that the relief well could be completed and the blowout killed before winter. Cold weather caused formation of ice in the inlet by November 27, 1862 and the de- cision was made to set 2 inch casing to total depth and sus- pend operations until next spring. This casing was being run November 30, 1862 when a large mass of ice moving down the inlet hit the drilling vessel, breaking two anchor lines. The casing was, therefore, landed at 5,413 feet without cementing ad the well secured.
 All materials and equipment needed to perform the killing of the blowout had been ship ped to Anchorage. This equip ment and material will be stor- ed in Anchorage for the winter.
 Both wells are located in the Cook Inlet approximately 36 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The Cook Inlet No. l We'll was spudded May 30 1962-one of a swell drilling program undertaken on a joint ly owned undivided 25 per cent

out from the shallow sands pre- vented this objective being reached. The well, an offshore operation, was spudded May l3 1862 following the arrival in Cook Inlet of a tender platform which had been lowed from the Gulf Coast through the Pan- anna Canal to Alaska. The der rick and other materials and supplies for this operation were also lowed to Cook Inlet by barge from the ports of Seat tie, Washington and Vancouver, B.C.
 The blowout at Middle Ground Shoal No. l occurred on June II, 1862 and was brou- ght under control after 43 days of remedial operations. Large volumes of materials were pumped into the well before re- gaining control including over 100000 gallons of weighted drilling mud and l8,000 sacks of cement.
 The Middle Ground Shoal No. We'll was filled to the top with cement when it became apparent that deteriorated well conditions would not allow deepr drilling. The companies have satisfied all Federal and State regulatory bodies con- cerned that the well has been properly plugged.
 The platform which had been erected in shallow water near Middle Ground Shoal to drill the well, will be left in place as base for possible future oper- ations and to experiment with the type of structure needed to withstand the ice conditions.

basis by Pan American Petro- leum Corporation, Sinclair Oil and Gas Company, Phillips Pe- troleum Company and Skelly Oil Company. Cook Inlet No. l was drilling below 12,000 feet when the blowout took place and was flowing an indetermin- ate volume of gas and liquid hydrocarbons. When the blow out occurred, the Hydril was closed on the drill pipe, but a failure of the automatic con- meeting device between the blowout preventor and the subsea well-head caused the blow to be directed out into the waters of the Cook Inlet. The gas blow moved the drill ing vessel off location, break ing both the drill pipe and the riser pipe at the ocean floor, with a resultant loss of all con- trol methods. The vessel was moved 1,700 feet northeast of the blowout and the relief well was spudded from approxi- mately this position on August 27, 1862.
 The other wells in the swell program are Stedatna Creek No. 1, Tyonek No. 1, West Fore land No. 1 and Middle Ground Shoal No. 1. All are located in the Cook Inlet area. Stedatna Creek was spudded on Novem- Der 20, 1861 and abandoned at 7,459 feet as dry hole on Feb ruary 9, 1862.
 Tyonek No. l, was spudded in April 4, 1862 and is still drill ling as tight hole.
 West Foreland NO. i, located 70 miles southwest of Anchor age began drilling on October 27, 1861 and has been complet- ed as a shut in gas well.
