Improved ship channel is nearing completion; it begins in Pascagoula, Miss, extends for over 1 mi to mouth of Pascagoula River, then tranverses shallow Mississippi Sound and reaches deep waters of Gulf through "pass" between two islands; it is being dredged to depth of 31 ft, and width of 275 ft, with channel 35 ft deep and 325 ft wide across bar at pass, where wave action requires that ships have more room; project constructed by local enterprise, and without federal funds.
