Despite repeated report# that the new SeaSoard Air Line bridge across the»Wateree river would be a double-track affair, the Chronicle is able to state definitely that the ;:tructure will carry but one track. And relative to the beautifica tion program at the Camden pas senger station, this is a Joint proj ect of the railroad and the Camden (Jarden club. As stated last week, it is predicated upon blue prints prepared in 1939. The Seaboard has enlarged the parking area at the station about 15 per cent, so that there i# now a total space of 720 square yards. Resurfacing of 240 square yards ‘of the parking lot has been com' I pleted and a ten by ten foot picKet fence has been built south of the (station. The Garden club has planted vines at the base of this I fence. Ornamental fences have been built around 23 live oak trees be tween the station and the No. 1 highway while rough pine barriers have been construct^ from the entrance of the drive to the sta tlon grounds proper. On these pine •larrlers the Garden club will grow Cherokee roses "dV wisteria. These are but a few of the high lights of the cleaning and improve ments which the Garden club has in prospect Clay Is Making Brilfijuit Effort Declares Ancrum s. ATTENTION!

LOW in Charleston and who holds ^tbe'office of assistant U. S. Secre- ury of the Allied Secretary of the Allied Control Council for Ger many, in an Interview published in a Charleston paper said that the United States government officlsla are doing their utmost to make the American occupation of Germany self sufficient, so as to reduce the burden on United States taxpayers. Mr.' Ancrum. who with his wife and mother, are visiting in Charlea- ton while on a month’s leave, said In his interview; “General Lucius D. Clay has led a brilliant effort to achieve political and economic unity in G^many and to promote Allied cooperation in the reconstruction and rebabili- lation of Germany. ’ He said the' most striking thing abont the attitude of General Clay, a Georgian, was ‘‘his earnest desire to avoid being a carpet baggei” in Germany. Despite the efforts of the Ameri cans, Germany is in for another vMnter with too little fuel and iood, Mr.'Ancrum said. “The United Sfktes government has entered into a bi-zonal agree ment with the British to baster the economic recovery of the Amelrcan and British zones in order to make the economy of that area seK-eus- mining and to end the drain on the money of American and British tax payers,” he said. ’The United States and Britain have failed to win the participation of the Soviets and French in the Amerlcan-BrtUsh plan for establish ing immediate economic unity. The United States government always has been careful to make clear that French and Russian participation is welcomed. Mr. Ancrtim is an alumnhr of porter Military academy and Dnka university. He studied Germanic philology at the University of Munich from 1936-39, was employed in Germany by the state depart ment the following year and then returned to the United States and went to work for the Office of War Information. He was the OWI regional control editor for Scandinavia and later the associate central' editor for European radio transmission. He joined the army during the war and was sent overseas. After Ger many’s surrender, hi^was retained in Munich where he served with the American military government for one year. In 1946 he became a civilian again and assumed his present duties in Berlin, serving Grst under General Joseph T. Mc- Narney, General Clay’s predecessor.
