San Rafael canal dredging funds in doubt
San Rafael officials learned from Col. K. M. Moore that the 60 foot canal section requires no dredging and no federal funds are available. A private survey prompted concerns over depths, with camps and harbor interests urging action to protect potential revenue and Alaska fishing traffic. Moore warned that even if a small portion dips below six feet, funds remain scarce and future dredging unlikely. The canal’s status as non essential to the war effort complicates any further investment.

New State Ownership Plan For Gate Span Is Proposed
San Francisco Senator Randolph Collier unveiled a Bay Area plan to place all bridges under state control, with the Golden Gate Bridge joining the state highway system and the bridge district dissolved. He suggested uniform tolls and bond issues across bridges, using toll revenues for new welded structures, and invited New York planners led by Robert Moses to study the plan. Collier argued maintenance costs should be borne by tolls and gas tax funds, not distant counties, and said passage is uncertain while noting the discussion is in early stages.

Reds Charged With Blackmail At Korean War Talks
United Nations spokesman labeled Communist conduct at Panmunjom as negotiatory blackmail for stalling prisoner exchange talks. Brig Gen Nuckols said Red delegates sought to force Allied terms on armistice supervision by delaying POW discussions. Lt Col Levie warned the implication resembled blackmail as North Korea resisted a second subcommittee and Lt Gen Nam II offered no war prisoner answers. The Allies agreed to accept a Red demand that only specific points be inspected under a new eight point UN plan to resolve the policing dispute.
