Retired General Gives Lie
To Testimony About
100000 Loan

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL
= Shouting heatedly, reti r e d
Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers
today accused Howard Hughes
of "a total disregard for the
truth" in his testimony about
Meyers to Senate War investiga-
tors.
Meyers stepped to the witness
stand after the millionaire plane
designer had asserted that
Meyers tried to borrow $500, 000
from him at a time when the
general was a procurement Of
ficer on plane contracts.
In a voice that echoed a r
down the Senatorial corridors,
the bald, mustached Meyers
also declared it is "a damnable
lie'' that he tried to get Hughes
to promise him a job.
The explosive Meyers state
ments climaxed a rapid-fire pa
rade of developments in the in
quiry into $4,000, 900 in wartime
plane contracts awarded
Hughes. They included:
/. An assertion by 1t. Gen.
Barney M. Giles, retired deputy
commander of the Army Al T
Forces, that any civilian or OF
ficer who tried to borrow $780,
900 from a war contractor be-
fore completion of the contract
should be jailed. But Giles ex-
pressed confidence that Meyers
never had tried to do so.

OLD DICKINSON HOME

At the corner of Front and Chest

Dickinson built an imposing three
story brick colonial home. Con-
structed of brick brought from
Philadelphia and said to have
been made in England, the
beautiful home was noteworthy
for its fence and veranda o1
wrought iron. The entire grounds
stood approximately seven feet
above street level inside the brick
and iron fence, and they were
noted for a garden of magnificent
variety of bloom.
P. K. Dickinson, the builder o1
the original home, was the found

Department Reports Failure In

- The Agriculture Department
today reported failure so far IN
its efforts to buy British-style
tobacco and keep it off the
market until Britain is ready to
buy tobacco again.
The chief reason, the depart

the British concer nor thel1

condition. This is that they buy

purchase of American tobacco
for export.
The type bought here by the
British is known as "fleu

Vishinsky Charges
"LobbyD Diplomacy
Soviet Deputy Says UN
Charter Violated Re-
peatedly By Groups

NEW YORK, Nov. IL -(P--
Russia accused the United States
tonight of blocking agreement on
atomic control and the United
States in turn laid the blame on
Russia's doorstep.
Anderi Y. Vishinsky, head Of
the Soviet delegation at the Unit
ed Nations General Assembly, de-
plored the fact that the year-old
UN resolution on prohibition Of
the atom bomb. has not yet
borne any fruit. He charged that
the fault lay with United States
foreign policy leaders who "be-
lieve that they hold monopoly
in this matter"
Warren Austin, permanent
American delegate to the UN, de-
rided the recent Soviet announce
ment that the atomic bomb secret
has ceased to exist. He countered
the claim that the United States
was holding up atomic agreement
by pointing out that of Is Ma
tions that have participated in
the UN Atomic Enegery Comis-
sion, all but Russia and Poland
have agreed on basic issues.
The statements were made at
the annual dinner of the Foreign
Press Association.
Basic Facts Known
Austin said the statement last
week by Soviet Foreign Minister
V. M. Molotov that the atomic
secret was a thing of the past
merely repeated what had been
said time and again by atomic
scientists in the United States,
Great Britain and Canada.
'The basic scientific facts are
widely known" Austin said.
THE greatest secret was publ
cized when the bomb was dropped
at Hiroshima.
Vishinsky, stating tha: Russia's
foreign policy was motivated en-
tirely by the desire for peace,
said the Marshall plan and Tru-
man doctrine were prompted by
hatred and vicious animus" to-
ward the Soviet Union.

Spending OF Motor We

CHICAGO, Nov. 11-P)--Rus-
sell E. Singer, executive vice
president of the American Auto
mobile Association,p rotested in
speech before the American
Petroleum Institutes annual
meeting today against what he
called "a growing trend toward
spending motor vehicle revenues
on purely local routes rather
than concentrating them on high
ways of general traffic use"
He said that while tax contri-
buttons by highway users have
continued to increase over the
years, total highway expendi-
lures have diminished rather than
gained because local property
owners are failing to pay their
Just share" of local road and
street costs.
"some 20 years ago. Singer
said, highway users through
their special taxes, paid about
27 per cent of all road and street
costs. About IS per cent was
paid through county, local ano
urban taxes, generally in the
form of property taxes.
To-day that picture is almost
exactly reversed. The highway
users are paying some 63 pei
cent of total road costs, while
the county, local and urban con
tribution is only about rs pei
cent"
Singer declared present fedora.
highway aid policies were en-
couraging a trend toward greater
dispersion of motorists; tas
money.
"Under current federal legisla'
ton, more money is appropriated
for local feeder and farm-to
market roads than was appropri'
ated for the major state highway
systems in normal prewar years
'fThis money must be matched
dollar-for-dollar," singer remark
ed.
GAS a result, local communities
are clamouring either for
greater share in the state high
way fund or are seeking the righ'
to impose their own taxes or
motor vehicle owners.
"Last August the public Road:
Administration designated the
routes to be incorporated in the
40,000-mile national system of in
terstate highways.
"This system embodies a dream
long held by the motorist-A
dream of highway system fully
geared to the needs of moderr
transportation and one that woulc
cut free-flowing pathway:
through the congestion now
strang1ing Americas urba1
areas.
Retaliation of this dream will
be impossible-or will be post
poned indefinitely-so long a:
motor vehicle revenues are dis
sipated over unlimited mileage:
of local roads of purely local sig
nificance."
