(AP Newsfealures)
GENEVA—The stage is set for
one of history’s greatest engineer
ing feats—a road tunnel through
•the 15,700-foot Alpine peak of Mt.
Blanc.
Only final French Government
approval of a contribution total
ing $4,700,000, one quarter of the
total estimated cost, is needed for
•the project to become a reality.
All the technical and adminis
trative plans are ready for work
to begin immediately from both
sides of the mountain. The two
points of departure, one near Cha
monix, France, and the other near
Conrmayeur, Italy, are separated
by nearly seven and one-half
miles of solid rock.
The Mont Blanc tunnel, when
completed, would be four -times
I longer than any existing vehicular
tunnel in the world.
The Italian Government has
given its full approval to the proj
ect, but the French Government,
j after approving it in principle on
i several occasions, continues to
j hesitate because of the co9t. The
government’s hesitation is encou
| raged by sectional interests in
France.
Cannot Fire Employes On
Grounds Past Membership
In The Communist Party
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Cities
can compel their workers 'to take
loyalty oaths but cannot fire them
solely on grounds of pas\ member
ship in the Communist party, is
Supreme Court ruled Monday in
a 5-4 split.
Specifically, the high tribunal
held that municipal employes can
be ordered to take oaths that for
the past five years they (a) had
not advocated violent overthrow
of the government and (b) were
not members of an organization
which advocated such violence. -
The majority declared, however,
that a city must not impose pun
ishment for past membership in
the Communist party.
The decision came on an appeal
by 17 former Los Angeles city
workers fired for refusing to sign
oa'ths disclosing whether they
were Communist party members.
The Lone Star Route Highway,
1,190 miles long, runs from Chic
ago to Lake Charles, Louisiana.

ment with Pan American World
