FRANKFURT, Germany. June l9 The Western allies arc re- ported mining key roads and bridges throughout West Germany and other parts of Europ to stall any possible Soviet attack.
 These preparations came to light yesterday when a German maga- zine published pictures of a wind- ing highway around famed Lorclei mountain on the Rhine River in the French zone The pictures showed row of holes being drilled in the road and then covered with concrete caps. Explosive charges dropped into the holes would tumble the highway into the Rhine at one of it's narrowest points.

FOREIGN ARMS AID BILL APPROVED; 10
 LIMIT PRESIDENT I

WASHINGTON, June 19 - R = Two Senate committees formally approved s1.222 2.5O0.O0O foreign arms program today but refused to dip into European Recovery funds for part of the cost.
 The Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committee voted 12 to 0 to continue the program to re-arm non- Communist nations.
 Chairman Connally O-Tex of the Foreign Relations group said he would try to get a Senate vote on the measure next Thursday if possible.
 The Senators agreed to limit President Truman's power to give arms aid to nations outside the North Atlantic Pact.
 AS the measure was originally drafted, MT. Truman would have had authority to re-arm any na- ton if he deemed it in the interest of American security.
 The revised bill limits this aid to Western Europe.

PLANE MISSING 7h MONTHS LOCATED
 NEAR FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 19- R-Wreckage of a light plane 1T which It. Alexander N. Murphy oi Kansas City, Mo. vanished 7l2 months ago has been located about 40 miles from here.
 Ladd Air Force base said today Murphy's C-26 five-place Cessna was spotted by 10th Rescue Squad ron search planes in a heavily wooded section IS miles southeast of nearby Eielson field. Positive Identification was reported.
 Ladd authorities said the missing plane was sighted Friday and para rescue team was dropped into the wilderness area that night to clear a space large enough to land a helicopter
 Word still was awaited whether Murphys body was in the wrecked craft.
 The 29-year-old flier was the ob-. ject of one of the most intensive searches ever conducted in this re- zion. He disappeared last Nov. 3 after taking off alone from Ladd field on a 'locar flight. He carried arctic equipment, emergency gear and three-day supply of food.
 A week later the hunt was spurred when weak, undecipherable radio signals were picked up at several points in Alaska and one operator made contact long enough for the sender to identify himself as Murphy. Atmospheric conditions then blacked out the signals and prevented pin-pointing of the sources by radio directional finders.
 Murphy's wife. Bernadine, and their daughter, Sharyl Ann, 3, were living here when he became lost, His mother, Mrs. Geraldine Putnam. lives at Kansas City.

MILK STRIKE
 CLEARS, ONE
 HIT SECTION
Bakers HaIt Work in Pdci- fiCCodst Cities-los An-
 geles Sill Tied Up
(By the Associated Press)

The milk famine in the nations capital was near an end today with settlement of the eight-day strike of milk drivers and dairy employees.
 But there was only scant hope for the end of a similar ten-day strike in Western Pennsylvania where deliveries have been virtu- ally shut off from 2.3O0.O 900 residents in seven counties of the Pittsburgh area.
 A new strike occurred in the food industry Saturday night. however, with the walkout of wholesale bak-
 cry workers in Los Angeles. They
 left their jobs in support of 35i hour week. The striking bakers
 make about 90 percent of the bread sold in Southern California stores. Bakery workers also struck in the wholesale plants of Portland. Ore, Seattle, Bremerton and Ev- erett, Wash, The strikers brought runs on grocery stores which strip ped most bakery goods shelves. It was the second major blow to Los Angeles where bus and street car service have been tied up since Friday by a strike of 4.000 AFL transit workers who are demanding wage. boost of 20 cents an hour to $1.67. The city is host this week to about 100000 Shriners at their na- tional convention.
 The settlement in Washington gave the dairy workers an average 5la day week at the same rate of pay they had received for six days and the dairies withdrew their pro- posal to close their plants on Sum- days. The drivers resisted the Sum day closing with the contention that it would cause them to lose cus- sQmsys s end accommodations.
 The new terms become efrective Sept. and the approximately 1850 strikers were expected to be back on normal deliveries tomorrow or Wed- nesday A strike of longshoremen at four Lake Erie ports in Ohio brought coal and ore shipping there to a standstill and waIkout of 500 open hearth men in Bethlehem Steel Company's Johnstown. Pa. plant threatened a shutdown which would throw 16.000 other workers out of their jobs.
