33-mile sandy barrier reef into
a national Seashore park.
Maryland has plans Of its
own to develop 9 miles of the
island as a State park, and says
the bridge is needed to make
the State park available. The
remainder of the island would
be left in private ownership
except for that portion in Vir-
ginia which already is a Fed
eral wildlife preserve.
Interior contends a different
type of bridge will be needed II
the island is developed as q
national seashore park. 1t also
fears that once a bridge is built
while the island remains in pri-
vate hands, private develop
ment may preclude preservation
of the isle in its natural state
forever.
Warning on Size
Mr.. Funk said after yester-
days conference that a repre-
sentative of the Bureau Of
Public Roads warned it would
be "unwiSe" to build a bridge
larger than the one proposed
by the State.
However, Edward c. Crafts,
director of the Interior Depart
ment'S Bureau of outdoor Rec
reation, said after the meeting
that the bridge would be made
quate should Mr.. Udall's pro-
posal for a national park be
accepted.
If bids are awarded as
planned within 10 days, con-
struction of the State bridge
would start this summer,
linking the northern end of the
island for the first time with
the Maryland mainland. That
section now is accessible only
by a small ferry across Sine
puxent Bay, which separates
the island from the mainland.
A small bridge was built at
the southern tip in Virginia

Chincoteague Island, but the
large northern section carnot
be reached from the southern
