Reid, named by President Eisenhower as ambassador to Israel, waits to appear be fore the Senate foreign relations committee in Wash ington. Reid, 34, former president and editor of -the New York Herald Tribune, is expected to run into stiff questioning from senators regarding his qualifications for the diplomatic post Following the recent squabble "over Mrs. Clare Booth Luce's appointment and resigna tion as ambassador to Brazil, the committee has set up a new policy of rigidly screening non-career diplomats. Oregon Financing Plans for Astoria Bridge Hits Snag Olympia, Wash. -IUPD- Ore gon's plan for financing a Columbia river toll bridge at Astoria struck a snag Mon day. Washington state officials decided that this state lacks both the funds and legislative authority to make an annual subsidy necessary under a plan proposed by the Oregon Highway Commission. , W. A. Bugge, Washington highways director, was direct ed to arrange a meeting May 27 in Portland to discuss the feasibility of Washington's ob ligation being taken up either by a combination of counties -or port districts. The session would be among the Oregon Highway Commission and the Washington Highway Com mission, the Washington Toll . Bridge Authority and the Washington Legislature's . In terim Committee on High ways. Subsidy Split Asked . ' Engineering studies showed that the proposed lower Co lumbia river bridge could not be financed solely from tolls. As a means of getting the project off the ground, Ore gon proposed that the two states split the amount of an nual subsidies needed to Nuclear Vessel Declared To Be No Threat To Seaports make the project feasible. Bugge quoted Oregon high- way commissioners that Washington esvould be re quired to pledge a subsidy of $400,000 a year for the first five years and $800,000 a year for an indefinite subsequent period. He said toll revenues were estimated at $500,000 a year and that a bond issue of $24 million would be required. Of the toll revenues, $250,000 would be required each year in interest payments. Alternative Suggested Gov. Albert D. Rossellini, chairman of the Toll Bridge Authority, summed up the sentiment of Washington offi cials. ' "If the project will require any guarantee from the state, we just won't have the au thority," he said. "I think we should have the legal prob lems ironed out in time for a meeting with Oregon. It seems to me that there isn't a lot that we can do." Rep. Julia Butler Hansen (D - Cathlamet), chairman of the Interim Highways Com mittee, said one alternative might be locating the bridge 12 miles upstream from As toria in the vicinity of Tongue Portland -4UPD- Undersecre-; tary of Commerce John J. Allen Jr. declared Monday that the U. S. nuclear-powered vessel N.S. Savannah will be so safe no seaport need fear radioactive contam i n a t i o n from it. He said the ship, scheduled for launching this July, will be the world's safest vessel. "No seaport need be con cerned about contamination from this ship and be assured that adequate precautions have been taken should this nuclear-powered ship be in volved in a collision or a sinking," Allen said in an ad dress prepared for a maritime day luncheon here. His remarks were aimed at spiking occasional articles questioning safety of the Sa vannah which will be ' the world's first nuclear-powered merchant ship. The articles reflected apparent concern of some seaports that the vessel might accidentally poison the cities with radioactivity. Troubles Recalled When the U. S. nuclear- powered submarine Nautilus visited Britain last year after its historic trip under the Arc tic, it docked at the sparsely populated port of Portland rather than London. It was reported that the port was chosen on advice of British atomic energy authorities. . Later Denmark refused to let the Skate, another nuclear powered sub, enter Copenhag en because of fear of radioac tive contamination. Allen said the Savannah is being built with the utmost concern for protection against radioactive contam i n a t i o n either to passengers or ports of visit. "All radiological safety measures necessary are being taken," he said. "A cylindrical steel containment (vessel pro vides for protection against an instantaneous rupture of the reactor. The containment ves sel will prevent radioactive matter from the worst intern al accident from reaching other parts of the ship. Other Projects Cited "With regard to disposal of radioactive waste, the method to be used initially in the Savannah' provides for the complete retention of all liquid and solid wastes until the ship returns to a port equipped with special facili ties for safe removal and shipment to a waste disposal area." Allen also touched on these marine projects of the future: -A submarine tanker. He said experts claim such an undersea tanker would not be affected by waves, wind, se vere storms and other actions which reduce speed and effi ciency of surface vessels. -Hydrofoil merchant ships which he said might skim over the surface at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour. Hy drofoils use the principle of the airplane wing to lift them selves to the surface and thus cut friction to a minimum. -Automatic navigation de vices which would make sea navigation much safer. He mentioned the inertial guid ance principle or so - called celestial navigation system as possible ways to cut down on sea collisions. SMUG SUSPECT Grinning J. P.
