Scenic Parkway talks aim for early parkway control deal
Virginia leaders led by Governor Peery meet with Secretary Ickes to present data on scenic easements and rights of way along the Shenandoah National Park front. Senator Byrd calls the talks satisfactory as Virginia reports 16 miles of right-of-way secured and about 70 percent of scenic easements signed. A court challenge to Virginia condemnations heads to the Supreme Court, risking park progress.
