Efficient Hull Design
For Alaska's Ferry Ships
Would Result in Savings
JUNEAU MP) — An efficient hull
design for the three ships to be
used on the Southeast Alaska
ferry run will result in substant
ial savings to the state, the Di
rector of the Marine Transporta
tion Division said Wednesday.
B. E. Lewellen, director of the
division, said recent test have
indicated the hull design will per
mit the three ferries to operate
with less horsepower than ori
ginally anticipated.
Lewellen said the reduction in
horsepower could mean a possible
saving of $120.000-$150,000 a year
in the operation of each ship.
Lewellen said his statements
were based on recent tests on the
hull design of the three ferries
by the University of Michigan
design laboratory.
Air Lines Check
Passengers More Carefully
NEW YORK UPl — Air lines
checked more carefully yesterday
in New York as a result of the
hijacking of a Boeing 707 plane.
Line representatives said em
ployes were checking passengers
more carefully but that police
were not resuming the plane-by
plane check of a week ago. Special
squads informally checked all
Florida-bound passengers then
after police got a tip that five
pro-Castro Cubans would attempt
to hijack five planes.
Airport plainclothes police are
on duty daily here but there was
no apparent concentration of city
police or federal agents.
