Ross Silent on Report
Data Is Kept From Dewey
BY the Assoeioted Press

The White House refused COM
ment today when questioned about
published reports that Gov. Dewey's
advisers feel the administration
should keep him informed on foreign
affairs developments.
A reporter brought the subject up
at a news conference with Press
Secretary Charles Ross. The re-
porter said that apparently members
of the Republican nominees staff
are complaining that he is not
being kept advised of developments
in foreign affairs" and that he
might say something which would
unsettle international relations"
Il have no comment on that, y
Mr.. Ross replied.
The questioner went on to say that
men around the Republican presi-
dental nominee seem to think Pres
ident Truman should keep him
advised" He wanted to know If
Mr.. Ross would comment on that.
Il will not" Mr.. Ross said.
Mr.. Ross added that he thought
he was using MIR. Dewey's own
words" in saying Il do not give
gratuitous advice to the opposition y

saying that the railroads during the
war did not charge the Government
higher rates than anyone else.
Obviously I don't agree with that,
but I'd be surprised If he said any
thing else" Mr.. Barton declared.
Liquor Routing Recalled.
The witness asserted that he knew
of instances in which Government
and private industry were charged
different rates and also where sew
eral Federal agencies themselves
paid different rates for essentially
the same transportation service. He
also described what he said were
unnecessarily expensive routings,
such as q 1943 Government ship
ment of liquor that went from
Florida to Baltimore by way Of
Cincinnati.
Maybe they wanted to get the
Ohio favor" Mr.. Bender commented.
Two onicials Of the Agriculture
Department indorsed the proposal
for q central trafic agency, but said
they believed individual depart
ments, particularly those handling
perishable foods, should continue to
have actual control Of operating ac-
tivities in shipments.
The witnesses were H. o. War
lick, director Of shipping and stor-
age in the Production and Market
ing Administration, and j. c.
Winters Of the Marketing and Facili-
ties Branch. Both witnesses were
commended by Mr.. Rosenberger for
the efIiciency OF Agriculture De-
partment transportation methods.
Limitations Not Favored.
Subcommittee members indicated,
however, that they did not agree
with the suggestion Of the wit
nesses that a central traffic bureau
should be limited merely to repre-
senting all Government agencies in
appearing before freight rate regu-
latory bodies.
Earlier, two other Federal Of
ficials urged establishment Of a
central bureau because OF great
reluctance" by separate agencies to
fight against high rates.

Will Fish Be Destroyed
In Cranes Nest?


Several inquiries have been
made recently as to whether the
discharge from the coal washer
on Lick Fork will destroy fish or
not, and if so, why action has
not been taken against the operat
ing company.
If it can be proven at any time
that fish are being killed by this
discharge, a charge will be
promptly lodged with the Trial
Justice against the company and
the case set for trial. But such a
charge must be proven if con-
vlctlon is to be had.
The Virginia legislature two
years ago set up a water control
board, similar to those in other
states, and the act was called the
anti-pollution bill. Under this act
concerns who wish to operate any
business establishment on wat
er course must apply to the wat
er control board for a permit to
do so.
When the coal company appli-
ed for a permit to set up coal
washer on the head of Lick Fork
last summer, a date was set for
the hearing, and c.. w. Butler of
the state game commission, who
has the propagation and distri-
button of fish in this state in
charge, attended the hearing and
protested against the granting of
such a permit. Company officials
avowed that no pollution from
the coal washer would reach
Cranes Nest River, and they de-
clared that the Lick Fork coal
operation would have to be shut
down if they were denied the
permit.
Mr.. Butler, a fine, capable man,
urged that the company be re-
quired to make an excavation
large enough to hold all the re-
fuse from the coal washer, but
the company said that would be
impossible because of the rough
terrain on Lick Fork.
Mr.. Butler had no vote in the
matter, all he could do was to
protest, and the permit was
granted by reason of the repre-
sensations made by the company.
Mr.. Butler came to Clintwood
last fall and discussed the matter
with members of the local Rod
and Gun Club, like John Bill
Chase, Wilson Counts, Paris Null
Inns, and maybe others and ex-
planned as above set forth.
He said that he doubted if any
fish would be killed by the dis
