Aid Will Lower Oil Price In Arabia

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Brewster CR.-MeD, declared today American aid to Greece and Tur- key will safeguard oil company concessions in Arabia and the gov ernment should get lower oil prices in return.
 Brewster told reporters the Sen ate war Investigating committee, which he heads, has asked Presi- dent Truman to make available files of navy report on l94l ne gotiationS which Brewster con tends might have given this gov ernment much lower prices than it now is paying for Arabian oil.
 WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Brewster R.-MeD, said today he wants to know whether the navy will have to pay through the nose for the next 60 years" for Abarian oil bought through American con- cernS.
 The navy has denied the price it paid is out of line. IL has pur- chased oil for $59,879,954 under contracts with the Arabian-Amer- ican and California; Texas oil com panies.
 Brewster, chairman of the Sen ate war Investigating committee, estimated this is $33, ,46O,6O3 above the quotations in a l941 contingent offer which James E. Moffett teS- tified he carried to this govern ment for Arabian American. That offer was rejected.
 Whether we have paid out $30,000,000 or S40,000,00O too much largerly in time of war is not so important now," Brewster told a reporter. "The issue is whe- ther we are going to pay too much in time to come. The navy is get ting one-third of its oil supply from there (Arabia), and I want to know whether it is going to have to pay through the nose for the next 60 years"

The report added:

it said, Gen. Ralph Smith was
relieved of his command because
of difference in tactics: Marines
tear into battle, trying to win it;
soldiers proceed cautiously, to save
lives"
Tactics, according to the Ma
rines, had nothing to do with the
relief of Gen. Smith, the article
said, adding:
"By the eighth day of the Saipan
battle the I'd and 4th Marine Divi-
sions had advanced rapidly on each

BRADDOCK ARMY CAMPS

During the month Of August, 1908,
John X. Lacock conducted a party
over the route of Braddock's Road
from Cumberland to the scene Of the
defeat near Pittsburg. In the January,
1914, Pennsylvania Magazine, La
cocks report, giving in detail the To-
cation of the road and its relation to
the Cumberland or National Road,
was published. This report is too long
to publish in this issue Of the Glades
Star, but his accompanying map is
the basis of Milton Sincell's map Of
the roads appearing in this issue. If
some Of our society will go over the
route of the Braddock Road thru Gar
rett County, we would gladly publish
an up-to-date account Of the old road.
The army camps shown on the
Sincen map were located as follows:
l. SPENDELOW CAMF-Located
at Allegheny Grove.
2. MARTINS PLANTATION -
Now property Of a coal company;
just S. e. of Frostburg.
3. SAVAGE RIVER CAMP-On
Blocher farms.
l. LITTLE .MEADOWS-Here the
National Road followed for a short
distance the Braddock Road. The
Camp site farm now belongs to Sam
uel Yoder of GrantsVille. Braddock's S
Road crossed the Casselman River
(the Little Crossings) about 300 yards
above the old stone bridge. 1t passed
about a quarter Of a mile south Of
Grantsville.
5. SHADE RUN CAMP Near
Little Shade Run on the John p. Mil
ler farm.
6. BEAR CAMP*-A state road
marker indicates this camp on Mill
Run at Oakton less than a mile south
Of the state boundary line.
7. SQUAW'S FORT CAMP-Lo-
Gated between the forks of Braddock
Run near Somerfield. The army
forded the Youghiogheny River at
the Great Crossings near the mouth
of Braddock Run, a half mile above
the stone bridge on the National
Road. Capt Orme noted in his journal
that at this point the river was "about
100 yards wide, about three feet deep,
with a very strong current.
8. TWELVE SPRINGS CAMP
East of the Great Meadows.
9. ORCHARD CAMP-Near Fort
Necessity and Braddock's grave.
@THE BEAR CAMP: There is still doubt
as to the exact location of Braddock's 9Th
Camp. The Bear Camp" of the pioneer hunt
ers and settlers was at or near the junction
of Nemacolin's Path and another Indian trail,
later the junction of the Braddock and
Morgantown Roads, on Bear Camp Run
lnow Mill Rum. Here Aron Parker lived in
INA. and about 1887 John Simtins opened
his noted Bear Camp Hotel. Later Michael
Beeghley owned the property and built the
present log house, now the home of G. Louis
Spiker. This is possibly the site of Braddock S

ample The warriors became jealous
and denounced the officers. Orders
were issued forbidding the women to
come into camp, but they continued
to meet the soldiers in grove near
by. Finally the Indians were re-
quested to send their families home.
They did so, but most of the warriors
went with them and did not return.
Only a few friendly Indians ac-
companied Braddock's army on the
march against Fort Duquesne.

WHITE Women doubtless eros
! WOMEN sed the mountains with
the early traders; certainly a few
captive women and children were
carried across the mountains by the
Indians, but the first record we have
of white women in our area is Of the
women accompanying Braddock'S
army, most Of them wives of soldiers,
employed to wash clothes, care for
the sick and other duties.
The following entries in Braddock's
orderly Book indicate their situation.
Camp at Alexandria, April 7, 1855,
A great number of women having
been brought over than those allowed
by the Government sufficient for
washing with view that the hospital
might be served; and complaint be-
ing made that a concert is being en-
tered into not to serve without eX-
holbitant wages, return will be
called for of those who shall refuse
to serve for six pence per day and
their provisions that they may be
turned out of camp and others got in
their places.
An order published at Ft. Cumber-
land on May permitted five to six
women per company. This order was
modified at the Grove Camp on June
II permitting no more than two
women per company to march.
"Any woman that is found in Camp
and whose name is not on the list will
for the first time be severly punished
and for the scond time suffer death"
Camp at the Little Meadows
June II, 1755
....No woman to be vixtualled upon
the detachments that march tomor-
row and Thursday.
Note: Most of the women were left
at Little Meadows with Dunbar's
troops; there is no record of any
present at the battle.
