THE BREAKS HIGHWAY

while there is life there is
hope" l always say. And this
sage remark has given me some
thing of a philosophers reputa-
ton. So I'll say it again when
the talk turns toward a highway
through the Breaks.
Such a highway has been talk
ed about since the early 1920's.
The first of the yearly meetings
in the Flatwoods was held in
1880. A candidate for the House
of Delegates ran on platform Of
developing the Breaks, $50 we
could skin the tourists instead of
the possums'' in 1881. James H.
Price, who was to become gov
ernor, visited there in 1886, and
his cohorts promised in his name
a super highway and a park as
part of the 'brave new world
that Price would give us. And
the talk just kept rolling along,
while the road from Haysi to Elk
horn remained nightmare.
How many of us have ever
tried to fit this dream around
some facts? ALLEGATIONS for pri-
mary roads have been made for
the year from July, 1948, to July
l949. 1t will be two years before
start can be made. Regardless
of old surveys and estimates,
modern highway from Haysi to
the Kentucky line would cost at
least two million dollars, as much
as all the eleven counties of the
Bristol district get for primary
roads in year.
Take a road map and consider
U. S. Highway %, from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf, goes
through Norton and Pound Gap,
down the Sandy Valley. U. S.
Highway 460, from Norfolk to
the West, goes through Bluefield
and Grundy intersecting the
north-south route at Pikeville.
Look at. Virginia Route 80, me-
andering along, and petering out
now and then, Damascus, Mead
ow View, Honaker, Council, Hay
81, and in imagination through
to the Kentucky line It would
cost millions and take years to
make No. 80 into an interstate
road. 1t hardly seems there
would ever be much flow of
traffic over that route.
Continued Next Week.

TEACHERS HOLD ANNUAL
FALL MEETING SEPT. IL

The teachers of Dickinson
county held their annual fal
meeting at Clintwood on Sept.
18th.
The morning session was de-
voted to the business affairs Of
the Dickinson Education Associ-
alton and the afternoon was Civ
en- over to group meetings.
Paul w. Skeen, new president
of the local association, presided
during the morning business ses-
sion. Proposed changes in h
Virginia retirement system and
the new state minimum salary
scale to be brought before the
Virginia Assembly for action
were discussed at great length
by J. M. Tarwater and Supt.
James M. Skeen.
The salary scale for Dickinson
county teachers was formally
adopted. Teachers with certifi-
Gates in this county for the cur
rent session will be paid better
salaries than teachers in any
county in Southwest Virginia,
according to comparative study
recently released by the Virginia
Education Association. Among
the 100 counties the salary scale
adopted for this county (includ-
ing bonuses) gives Dickinson
the rank of tenth in both mini
mum and maximum salaries for
certified teachers
Several resolutions were adopt
ed at the morning session calling
for certain changes in the salary
schedule, an acumulative sick
leave plan and other factors to
improve working conditions for
teachers.
A resolution pledging loyalty
and appreciation to the present
school officials and members of
the board of supervisors for in
creased salaries was approved.
Also passed unanimously was
resolution calling on each teach
err individually to exert all his
influence in the election of
member of the General Assemb-
ly who would support whole
heartedly Increased salaries for
teachers.
During the noon recess teach
ers We're served sandwiches and
drinks by members OF the VS..
c. S. of the local Methodist
church.
Three group meetings, pri-
mar, elementary and high school
were conducted during the after
noon.
Both the elementary and high
school group meetings consisted
of round-table discussion of var
ious Institutional and admins
trative problems. Miss Nell
Phipps was in charge of the
high school group.

Aid Bill Supporters
Look 10 Senate for
Restoration Of Fund
House Votes 80 Million
Reduction in Relief and
Also SIushes Army None,
By J. A. OLeory

Supporters of the administra-
tion's foreign policy looked to
the Senate today to restore at
least part of the two deep cuts
voted by the House late yester-
day in funds for overseas aid.
The House reduced the allotment
for stopgap winter assistance to
France, Italy and Austria from the
$597 100000 figure both houses had
authorized earlier in the week, to
$500 100000.
The House also slashed the Army's
separate fund for expenses in the
occupied zones of Germany, Japan
and Korea from $490, 900 900 to $780,
100000.
Both items are in a $773,0OO, 900
general appropriation bill which will
be reviewed by the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee late today. The
Senate is expected to act on the
measure tomorrow before Congress
starts it's Christmas recess.
Increase Proposal Defeated.
Friends of the Presidents foreign
policy offered only token resistance
to the House cuts yesterday. Repre-
sentative Javits, Republican, of New
York, a member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, moved to
raise the European aid fund from
$509, 100000 to $535 900, 900, but was
beaten on a voice vote.
Although the enabling act signed
by President Truman yesterday lists
China as one of the countries
eligible for stopgap aid, the budget

The first of a series of special

The drive for $3,900,0O still is

I'VE have no margin for failure.
Raising less than our goal means
that in 1948 some families will &c

Work of clearing debris and
removing three stories of the
Empire Apartments, Ninth street
and New York avenue, was
scheduled to start today to ex-
pedite the search for three per-
sons missing since part of the
seven-story building collapsed
Tuesday.
Death toll in the tragedy still

in critical condition and eight others
reported in fair" condition at
Emergency Hospital.
Still reported missing by relatives
were Ernest Dorsey. "A: Mrs. K. B
Van Sickler, 10, and Joseph Smith
husband of Mrs. Lena Smith, the
critically injured person. The deae
man was identified by f1ngerprints
as George Patterson, 70.
Wreckins Firm Employed.
The Arrow Wrecking & Lumber
Co. was employed shortly before
noon to clean out the huge pile of
wreckage that accumulated when a
section of the building gave way,
and to remove the roof and top three
stories.
George Papanicolas, attorney and
brother of Nick Papanicolas, owner
of the building, said they had esti-
mated the loss at $250,0O0. Nick
Papanicolas told newsmen he had
$3.50, 600 fire, explosion, storm and
bomb insurance and $4,000 general
liability insurance.
The building will be converted
into one for Offices only, eliminating
SO apartment units in which about
$50 persons were living at the time
Of the crash. Its height will be
leveled to that of two annexes ad-
joining on each side. Most of the
interior remodeling will be done in
plywood.
Work of clearing the debris was
being held up only until safety IN

arrived to set up safety require

Job to Take 4 to 6 Weeks.
Jesse Kimball, first assistant Dis

Menjou Crashes Gate

A light touch was added to

grain speculation today when
Adolph Menjou, the movie ac-

seconds.
The committee had been
closeted with Secretary of Agri-

an hour when a Capitol police
man escorted the actor through
the crowd of reporters and spec
tators waiting outside the closed
committee room.
With the police escort, Mr.
Menjou stepped inside the door.
Only a few seconds later it
opened again and he stepped
out smiling sheepishly. He told
reporters he had only wanted to

the committee members looked

About 100 searchers combed the

Dairymen attributed the high
price to increased costs for both
eggs and cream. It was explained
that cream was being imported into
Washington and, accordingly, was
higher than locally produced cream,
which is very scarce at this time
Of year.
Not all food prices are going sky
high, in the opinion Of J. Walter
Smith, executive secretary of the

Produce Association.
He reported that wholesale prices
Of oranges we're down Is to 20 per
cent from year ago, while apples,
pears and grapefruit were of 10
per cent. The prices are being

President Truman twice killed with

Hartley 10 Name Group
To Probe Printers and
Publishers Disputes
House subcommittee Could
Subpoena Witnesses for
3-Duy Session Here
By the Assoeio,sd Prsss

DETROIT, Dec. 18.-Repre-
sentative Hartley, Republican, of
New Jersey said today that he
will appoint a House subcommit-
tee to investigate the dispute in
a number of cities between the
AFL Typographical Union and
newspaper publishers.
He added that the fact-finding
hearing would get under way soon
and would probably not require
more than three days for compile
ton. Depending on the subcom-
mittee'S wishes, Mr.. Hartley said,
the hearing would probably be CEN
tered in Washington.
Mr.. Hartley's action was an
nounced after a telephone conversa-
ton with Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota concerning the posi-
bility of joint congressional probe
into the dispute which has led to
newspaper strikes in Chicago and
some other cities.
The dispute has been defined by
the union as centering around its
wage demands. However, publishers
accuse the ITU of refusing to sign
a contract and seeking instead to
substitute conditions of employ
ment" enabling the union to main
tain the closed shop in defiance of
the Taft-Hartley law.
Could Recommend Law Changes.
Mr.. Hartley said that Senator Ball
advised against joint hearing
while the staff of the House Senate
committee was already engaged in
following progress of National La
Dor Relations Board hearing on the
dispute.
The New Jersey Republican said
that he had therefore decided to
proceed with the subcommittee
drawn from the Is members of his
House Labor Committee.
Mr.. Hartley, declining to predict
what the subcommittee might un-
cover, said it would be empowered
to recommend new laws, alterations
in existing laws including the Taft
Hartley Act, or Justice Department
action if the outcome justified any
of these.
Would Have Subpoena Power.
The subcommittee would have the
power of subpoena, he said, and
would call representatives of the
ITU, including President Woodruff
Randolph, and publishers of news
papers currently in dispute with the
union.
Mr.. Hartley said he hoped to an
nounce the makeup of the subcom-
mittee either in Detroit or follow
ing his arrival in New York later
today.
Mr.. Hartley came here from Chi
cago where, he said, he had looked
