Dept. of Highways Mentions Kodiak! Maybe They Say

According to news release of the State Dept. of Highways, two miles of Kodiak streets are among projects listed as active projects in advanced stages of design that may be advertised early this winter or in the spring."
 Early this spring the Kodiak Mirror was advised by the Cover nors office that bids were to be called on the Kodiak projects in July. No indication was made of what year however.
 In excess of $7O million in road and highway projects are under way this year in the state. None of it has been spent for any work for Kodiak Island. Research indi- cates that since statehood virtually nothing has been done by the state for road and highway projects for Kodiak.

Letter to the Editor

would like to take exception to action by the State Dept. of Fish and Game. The department saw fit to let John Morton go saying that all temporary employees were be- ing relieved of duty. I find how ever, there are still temporary em- ployees.
 The department spent thousands of dollars on commercial fishing before and during part of the sea- son then stopped entirely when they should have been out looking for violators. Nothing was spent on game. When Morton was flying he flew nearly every day during the elks season and caught many viola tors. There is little protection now, only couple flights during Sep tember, one on predator control and one on protection.
 Also the policy of hiring stream guards from other states when peo. pie in Kodiak are out of work is out of line. I understand that first

year stream guards were paid more than John Morton.
 I hope something can be done within the department to correct these mistakes and make depart ment policy more fair to local resi- dents.

was used Monday by William

to represent both the District

Possible BOttlenecks

In the regional freeway system

close examination of its appen-
dix volumes will prove that mo-
torists will be able to move
freely without running into
traffic jams.
Planning agencies are just
starting their reviews of the

Designs for a 81 million first

Bids on part of the work will
be opened January 20 and the
rest in mid February so that
work can be started soon. James

the Smithsonian Institution,
said. The Zoo is a Smithso-
nian subsidiary.
Included in the work will be
a new flight cage for birds.
remodeling of the existing bird
house. a new entrance road to
replace the present one, con-
struction Of a foot bridge lead
ing from the bird house to the
upper reaches of the flight
cage, and relocation Of the
eagle cage.
Will Shift Entrance
The new entrance road north
Of the present one will be
nearer to the Kennedy Warren
Apartments, 1t will extend
from Connecticut avenue to
Harvard street NV.
When the new S5-foot-high,
150-foot-long bird cage is COM
pleted, and the flight cage is
remodeled, Zoo visitors will be
able to walk in the midst Of the
birds and view them from the
foot bridge at eye level at the
top Of the flight cage.
Richard Dimond of the firm
of Daniel. Mann. johnson g.
Mendenhall, architects for the
flight cage and bird-cage re-
modelling, said:
People even will be able to
look down on the birds in the
flight cage, instead of having
to crane their necks to look
at them.
"The idea is to inclose the
birds as inconsqicuously as pos
sible and let people mingle with
them as much as possible in

Give Tentative OK
At today's session. the COM
mission also approved "in prin-
ciple" a revised design for the
1000 unit Columbia Plaza
apartment and hotel project for
Foggy Bottom, but expressed
a wish to have another look at
details of the design when they
come through"
The commission went on rec
ord in regard to the design of
apartment structures within
the Columbia Plaza area. The
hotel design, it indicated, had
not reached the stage at which
an opinion could be passed
on it.
Last week, the District Com
missioners held a public hear
ing on proposed reviSions in
the Columbian Plaza urban
renewal plan which would in
crease building heights and
permit addition of approx
mately 100000 square feet Of
floor space.
At that time. Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner Thomas
X. Fullerton said no action
would be taken on the revi-
sions until the Fine Arts Com
mission had passed on the
project on a site bounded by

trict Highway Director Harold

However, If the National

tional track work beyond that
required by the District, the
total estimated cost to the COM
pany would be about IS million.
The company's track removal

The
Rambler
... FuiIs to
Release News
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Got to feeling quite guilty
the other day about the
organizations that feed
News" to the Rambler by
mall.
They must go to quite a
lot Of trouble getting an
nouncements of one sort or
another and hopefully mail
ing them off for immediate
release"
Most OF the time the letters
are released to the trash
basket, frequently unopened.
But 1t continues to come.
They never give up.
Strangest Of all is the
material which flows regu-
larry out Of the wyandotte
Chemicals Corp. in wyan-
dotte, Mich. We are old
friends, apparently.
Several months back, the
corporation decided to add
the Rambler's name to It's
mailing list although he had
made no formal request for
the service.
Since then, news" OF the
organization has been rolling
in; obscure general managers
have moved up the ladder
and have seen fit to let the
promotion be known to the
Rambler who, until recently,
did not have the slightest
idea what the corporation
did.
Religiously, the Rambler
has read the releases and
then crumpled them up.
Evening star., 1963-01-23

BUT THE OTHER DAY,
Wyandotte Chemicals Corp.
seemed to be trying to tell
the Rambler something In a
statement labeled For Re-
lease Immediately"
The news was:
Introduction of a new
coarse-granular soda ash for
the processing Of molten
metal has been announced
by the industrial chemicals
division, Wyandotte Chemi-
Gals Corp.
Granular and uniform in
particle size, the new foun-
dry grade ash is free of fines.
When calibrated at a con-
trolled rate into the molten
metal stream at the cupola
spout or at the forehearth,
the flow Of this grade ash
affords good contact with the
stream and improves desul-
furization and Stag viscosity.
For ductiIe iron produced
in an acid lined cupola,
Wyandotte's coarse granular
soda ash may be added in
the collecting lsdle for final
desulfur1zation. In many
cases this will reduce the
amount of ferro alloy addi-
tives required in the ladle
-"
At first glance, it was OBJ
vious the corporation has
accomplished a great deal.
The question, however, was
what.
They had seen fit to let
the Rambler know about 1t,
however and he felt he
ought to do what he could
for the good people over at
Wyandotte.
He decided not to release
the news i'm m ediately.
Rather, he pocketed the let
ter and carried 1t around for
several days asking people II
they knew anything about
fines" Or Stag viscosity."
