FLAG LOWERED ON IWO JIMA
The Stars and Stripes are lowered atop the Marine Corps
monument on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, March 17.
The flag, flown 24 hours a day on the famous World War
II battleground, was lowered in a ceremony in which a
bronze replica replaced the colors. Island is due to revert

A “land bridge” carrying Pa-
cific-European shipments across
the U. S., rather than around it,
ranks high in Department of
Transportation plans, Deputy
Under Secretary Paul Sitton
noted Friday at Texas A&M’s
10th annual transportation con
ference.
The “land bridge” program
typifies DOT’s “system” or
“team” approach which, Sitton
said, stresses coordination, facili
tation and standardization.
Sitton joined with Federal Rail
road Administrator A. Scheffer
Lang in presenting a special
briefing on the one-year-old de
partment for 200 transport lead
ers from throughout the nation.
Under the “land bridge” con
cept, Sitton explained, shipments
originating in the Pacific and
headed for Europe, or vice versa,
would come by ship to the U. S.,
be transferred to train or truck
for the trip across the continent
and placed again on ship for the
remainder of the journey.
Money now spent to pay foreign
flag ships for carrying goods by
water around the U. S., he con
tinued, would instead go to this
nation’s rail and truck lines. He
said U. S. vessels also would
benefit.
“ULTIMATELY, the land
bridge could improve by billions
of dollars the balance-of-pay-
ments position of the United
States,” the deputy under secre
tary contended.
“Goods would move less ex
pensively and more quickly,” he
added. “Perishable produce grown
in Hawaii or California could be
sold at reasonable prices in the
markets of Paris.”
The technological advances re
sulting from use of the “land
bridge” would be made available
to all the nation’s shippers, Sit
ton pointed out.
Summarizing Congressional
feeling when DOT was formed
last year, Sitton said the time has

come to stop thinking of ships,
airplanes, trains, trucks, buses
and cars as unrelated objects
running off in all directions.
HE SAID the objective now is
to work together to move either a
shipment of goods or a single box,
a load of passengers or one trav
eler, from one point to another
as quickly, safely, conveniently,
efficiently and economically as
possible.
Sitton said airport access and
congestion is an area of particular
concern for DOT, as is the effect
of the nation’s highway program
on its cities. He said the depart
ment is joining in cooperative
projects to help airport facilities
keep up with the technological
pace set by aircraft designers. It
also is assisting local govern
ments in integrating transporta
tion and the urban environment.
LANG outlined the new Fed
eral Railroad Administration’s
high-speed transit program for
the nation’s so-called “Northeast
Corridor.”
He said the type trains now
being tested for utilization over
existing track are a step beyond
both the widely publicized Japa
nese equipment and the best
European models.
For possible future use, FRA’s
High Speed Research and De
velopment Group is studying an
auto-on-train ferry-type concept,
Lang noted.
Other unconventional research
is concentrated in high-speed,
tracked, air-cushion vericle (TA
CV) and tube vehicle systems.
“BOTH OFFER promise for
operation well above 250 mph,”
the administrator observed.
He said the immediate goal of
the TACV project is to build a
research vehicle and guideway
within the next 24 months, with
subsequent tests providing a basis
for preparing demonstrations of
a high-speed TACV in uses such
as airport access and inter-city
passenger service.
Lang also reviewed FRA’s work
in railroad and grade-crossing
safety.
MATSON HONORED AGAIN
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has recog

Scholarship. Matson, from Pampa, is studying for his
master’s degree in business administration. Academic Vice
President Wayne C. Hall of A&M also took part in the
campus ceremonies.
April Weather Turns Winter
Into Summer For Twin-Cities
April is a transitional month
or weather in Bryan, College
Station and East Central Texas.
Texas A&M Meteorology De
partment records surveyed by
Prof. John F. Griffiths show the
first hint of summer amidst
traces of winter.
The department climatologist
said an average warming trend
of about 10 degrees usually oc
curs during the 30-day period,
when the wind is mostly from the
south or southeast, cloud cover
age is complete about a third the
time and clear skies account for
another third.
“Average rainfall is 3.7 inches,
about a tenth of our annual
amount,” Griffiths said. Record
monthly totals are 12.5 to .3
inches.
“On the average, there are
seven days of rain during April,”
he added. “The highest amount
for a 24-hour period is 5.3 inches
and we have about one chance in
10 of getting as much as three
inches during a day.”
He said the average afternoon
temperature is 79 degrees while
the early morning low averages
57. April’s highest recorded tem
perature is 96 degrees, the low
26 degrees.
“There have been days during
the month when the temperature
has not risen above the mid-40s.
The latest freeze has come as late
as April 13, but temperatures of
less than 40 degrees are rare
after the middle of the month.”
Sunrise on April Fools Day is
at 6:13 with sunset at 6:43.
At the end of the month, when
daylight saving time will be in
effect, sunrise and sunset are
6:41 and 8:01, respectively.
ABA Forms Committee
To Set Up Press-Court
Relationship Guidelines
WASN’T ENOUGH
HYDERABAD, India _ An
Andhra Pradesh State official
says the state has some “unima
ginative” rules.
Revenue Board member V. K.
Rao said he took leave and when
he returned he was asked to ac
company his request for leave
salary with a certificate that he
is alive.
CHICAGO — The Ameri
can Bar Association announced
today formation of a committee
which will work to set up guide
lines throughout the nation for
news coverage of arrests and
pending criminal cases.
Creation of the seven-man ABA
Legal Advisory Committee on
Fair Trial and Free Press was
authorized by the association’s
House of Delegates last month
after it adopted recommendations
of the Reardon Committee.
The Reardon Advisory Com
mittee on Fair Trial and Free
Press recommended that courts
and law enforcement agencies re
strict information given to the
news media about arrests and
pending criminal cases.
Judge Edward J. Devitt of the
U. S. District Court in Minneapo
lis was named chairman of the
new legal advisory committee.
THE ABA House of Delegates
specified' that the functions of
the legal advisory committee will
be two-fold;
(1) To work through state and
local bar associations and other
organizations to make the recom
mendations of the Reardon com
mittee effective, and
(2) “To encourage cooperation
of the bar and the media of com
munication in voluntary measures
to protect the rights of fair trial
and free press.”
SOME lawyers, including Al
fred J. Schweppe of Washington
state, a member of the ABA
House of Delegates, have express
ed the opinion that the designa
tion of the legal advisory commit
tee’s functions puts voluntary
plans between the bar and news
media on par with the compulsory
Reardon, plan.
Some states, including Wash
ington, have voluntary plans that
set up guidelines for reporting
criminal proceedings and similar
plans are under study in some
other states.
