Boyd, president of the Virginia Slate AFL--CIO, that he had asked the Department of State Police to confer with local authorities concerning the use of state troopers at the plant. "It is the policy of the Commonwealth to make troopers available so long as the local officials feel that their presence Is necessary to preserve order and prevent violence," the governor wrote Boyd.

"That, of course, is the onfy purpose of their presence." On June 15, Boyd sent a telegram to Stanley protesting the use of state troopers at the strikebound plant. Boyd said the number of pickets had been reduced by the union to comply with the law after local authorities had called its provisions to the attention of the union officials.

(Hopewell Bureau) The purpose of the present survey of traffic over the Jordan Point ferry route is to bring up- to-date data on traffic through this section by way of Route 36, according to the State Highway Dept.

Previous surveys have shown that travel is sufficient to pay off only about 8 per cent of the cost of a proposed toll bridge across the James River. It is desired to learn if there has been an increase or any anticipation of an increase. The bridge, if built, would be erected under the Highway Department's revenue bond act and would cost about $5,950,000. The Department is -setting aside year for the bridge but has given no indication as to when it might seriously consider its construction. It is presumed that the Department has in mind using the fund, which now totals $750,000 as down- payment on a toll The river and approaches would require a bridge 4,500 feet long and would be low level with a draw span.

Toll estimates have been based on 68 cents for passenger cars and $1.27 for trucks. It is planned to complete the present study in mid-July and to make a report on it within the following six months.
