Halifax FAs InterAnother obstacle to the

granting of a license to VirginiaElectric and Power Companyto erect a dam at Gastonwas removed this week whenHalifax Paper Company stated!it would "not further pursueits objections and that itwould not intervene in the'proceedings before the FederalPower Commission.The views of the paper companywere set forth in a public

statement on Tuesday by K. J\Adams, executive vice presidentof the company.On Wednesday, B. F, Turner,*1Weldon newspaperman,

who had intervened in behalfof sportsmen rights on theRoanoke, said that he wouldwithdraw as an intervener.These were the last recognizedintervenors of the multi-milliondollar project a few miles upstreamfrom' Roanoke Rapids.

Construction of the muchdisputed Gaston hydro-electricproject may begin next spring.Should this be the case, acmcording to power company officials,some 1500 men would

a, be employed for about threeyears on the project. TheLake created by the damwould back water to the footof Kerr Dam.

It was stated that when andif the Federal Power Commissiongives final approval toVEPCfPS application andamendments, construction planswill be pushed aggressively.

While Hapco and Turner refrainedfrom becoming partiesto an agreement on theGaston project between threeNorth Carolina state agenciesand Vepco, both stated theywill not pursue any furthertheir objections' to granting alicense to Vepco to constructthe Gaston project.

Vepco's application andamendments are still pendingbefore the Federal PowerCommission which has heldone hearing and has scheduleda second for December 15 onthe original application filedAugust 31, 1051, and on April
