President Eisenhower has asked Congress for 1 million dollars to survey cross border options with Canada, with a plan featuring sea gates and dual basins Cobscook Bay and Passamaquoddy Bay. The project, once active in the 1930s, drew Roosevelts support and remains a reference point amid global tidal proposals.

East Germany imposes eight million tax on West Berlin truck traffic
Berlin reports East Germany levies a yearly eight million dollar tax on trucks between West Berlin and West Germany. Trucker lines formed as drivers rushed to clear the 110 mile route before the deadline. Taxes rise to as much as 220 marks for a round trip, cited by East German authorities as highway repair funding. West Berlin officials call it an economic blockade. East German communists said they are willing to discuss the tax with Bonn, while U.S. officials say allies won’t be blackmailed into paying. State Department officials noted talks on measures to secure goods flow.
