Representatives of abutting
property owners, attending a meet
ing Friday morning with highway
officials at the Madison County
courthouse, indicated the highway
department should send out in
, dividual notices to the property
owners when the date and place
for another meeting had been de-
termined.
The meeting Friday. attended
by Attorney Gerald Baynes, B.
Gwynne Burr and various other
owners of property abutting on
Route 40, was for hearing OBJ
jcctions of property owners to
making the route a closed access
highway.
In the event such an order
should become effective it will
mean that all abutting property
owners will be limited to existing
means of access to Route 40; that
they will be prohibited from maxi
ing any new openings from their
property into Route 40 without
first petitioning the highway de-
partment for authority, Attorney
Baynes said.
Property owners at the meeting
contended such an order for linn
iting access to the highway from
the western corporation line of
West Jefferson to the Clark Coun-
ty line, would be discriminating
against Madison County property
owners inasmuch as Franklin
County owners and others in Ohio
are free from such limitation.
Another objection cited by prop
erty owners was that the Highway
Director has thus far failed to OBJ
tain additional easements. from
property owners affected by the
proposal.
In the event of court action to
prevent making this Madison
County section of Route 40 a
limited access highway, the paw
ing project to make the route 6
four-lane highway, may be |lef,
uncompleted it was indicated
Friday.
No order to limit access to the
highway has been applied to the
eastern end of the Route 40 pro-
ject in Madison County, according
to the property owners.
Representing Highway Depart
ment at the meeting were Engin-
Ger Octave Ammons, Kenneth
Graham and Messrs Gallagher
4 and RicketS.

Ohio's new office ballot ap-
peared yesterday in tentative form
Secretary of State Charles F.
Sweeney sent copies to election
boards and county chairmen OF
both parties throughout the state
After their comments, Sweeney
expects to realease the official bal
lot to be used in the Nov. gen.
eral election.

ballot But it was up to Sweeney
to make it work. He asked Gov
ernor Lausche to call special
session of the Legislature to work
out the details but got no action
The new ballots puts all candi-
dates for one office together in a
boxed-off space. Their Democrat
or Republican party affiliation is
listed under their names. 1t does

JOSepn 4. cI cISQSOIi, ISIiio1l dtiS
candidate for U. S. Senate, has
won the "wholehearted and un-
stinting support" of the Ohio CIO

million CIO members in Ohio, un-
animously endorsed Ferguson,
Chairman Jack Kroll of Cincin-

In a brief statement, Kroll,
who is also Director of National

THE Ohio CIO Political Action
Committee has voted its whole

Mr.. Ferguson.
I'VE are we'll aware of Mr.
Ferguson's record as a fortnight
and devoted public servant who
knows, at first hand, the pro-
blems and aspirations of the
people of our state.
His determination to work in
the interests of all people, and
not just for the minority of wealth
and power, has endeared. Mr..
Ferguson to the citizens of Ohio.
"On the record, Mr.. Ferguson
has proven himself a man who
will well and truly serve the
best interests of Ohio and the
nation in the United States Sen
ate.
ION the other hand, the Rep
ublican senatorial candidates re-
cord is against him. 1t is a re-
cord of obstruction and of SUBJ
servience to Big Business and
wealthy monopoly. 1t is a record
of consistent disservice to the
farmers, workers, housewives and
small businessmen of this state"
At the same time, kroll said,
the Committee had acted on en-
dorsements of Congressional cam
didates.
In those instances, Kroll said,
where the incumbent Congress-
man has a record of service to
all the people of our state, we
have been happy to give him our
endorsement.
"On the other hand, where the
incumbent has devoted himself to
serving only the interests of Big
Business. we have endorsed men
of high regard in their own COM
munities, who, we feel sure, will
make far better servants of the
people"
