Barden Pleads For Morehead Harbor Funds I Congressman Appears Before Committee ? $1,197,000 Sought For 35-Foot Channel Graham Barden, congressman from this district, made a plea be fore the subcommittee on public works of the House appropriations committee yesterday that they in clude in the I960 public works con struction program an appropriation of $1,197,000 for work in Morehead City harbor. The congressman also cited the importance of a 35-foot channel and improved turning basin. He pointed out that this project had been justified by the Congress and all government agencies sincc 1955. He further stressed the fact that sincc the bureau of the budget has this year decided it will not rec ommend any new projects, North Carolina and particularly More head City have been placed in a very unfair position. North Carolina is one of about three states for which no money was recommended for any pro ject. "The deepening of Morehead City harbor is justified from many standpoints, Mr. Barden said. It is the primary port of embarka tion for the Marine Corps on the Atlantic seaboard. It is the source of supply for fuel to the Marine Corps air facil ities in North Carolina, as well as Seymour Johnson Air Force base, Goldsboro. Tope Air Force base, Faycttcville and Donaldson Air Force base, South Carolina. The demand for fuel in these air bases will almost double this summer with the establishment of a strategic air command heavy bombardment wing at Goldsboro, Barden pointed out. He emphasized the importance of the fact that Southern Railroad is now serving Morehead City and afc a remit of a trunkline rail car rier now being a reality for North Cardina, the industrial develop ment to be expactcd i? practically unlimited if adequate harbor fa cilities are made available at Morehead City.
