Sen. Taft Blasts Secy. Acheson For Incompetence

WASHINGTON, R)-A propos- al that military aid for embattled South Korea be considered apart from the $1,222,500,000 foreign arms bill threatened yesterday to get the Senate into new contro- verSy.
 The proposal came from Sena- tor Cain R.-WaShD, armed serv- ices committeeman who said more information was needed in view of the communist invasion of South Korea.
 Indications were, however. that the new dispute would fall far short of that touched off yester- day by Senator Taft R.-Ohio), the Senate Republican policy lead CT.
 Taft simultaneously endorsed President Truman's intervention in the Korean war and. in a blis- tering attack on administration foreign policy. called for the res ignation of secretary of state Acheson.
 He told the Senate that any sec retary of state who has been "so reversed by his superiors and whose policies have precipitated the danger of war had better re- sign and let someone else admin ister the program to which he was. and perhaps still is. so vio- lently opposed"

Ask Further
 Investigation Of .Amerasia Scandal

WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Nix on R.-Calif.' said today he may propose that the House un-Amer- ican activities committee investi- gate what he called the Amerasia case scandal"
 It will all depend, Nixon declar- ed. on what kind of a report a Senate foreign relations sub-com- mittee headed by Senator Tydings O.-Md) turns out on its inquiry into the l943 Amerasia episode. The Senate groups report is now being prepared.
 If that study corroborates the charge that certain key witnesses have not been questioned and that evidence has been suppressed, I for one intend to ask the commit. tee on un-American activities to conduct its own investigation of those phases of the case which have not been covered by the Tydings committee" Nixon told reporters.

Babe Ruth Home Closes Its Doors

BALTIMORE, (P) - The house that built Babe Ruth and turned many an orphan and toughie into good. solid Americans passes out of existence today. St. Mary's in- dustrial school is closing it's doors.
 For 84 years-since 1966-the Catholic-sponsored school has taken into it's grey walls boys who weer motherless or tabbed as po- tential law-breakers.
 But because the state has made other arrangements for its juven- ile problems, financial aid has been withdrawn.
 George Herman Routh entered the school when he was seven be- cause his father. a saloon-keeper, thought his environment around his place wasn't too good. Young Ruth was listed as an incorrigible. but in later years you could never get the fathers at the school to agree that he was.
 He stayed there until he was l8 and his baseball career was in full bloom.

Mine Subsidy Bill Appears Dead

WASHINGTON, (P)-Despite a new setback for mine subsidy leg islation in the House rules com mittee yesterday. Rep. Engle o. CalifD continued to hold out hope for the measure.
 The committee at a closed-door meeting refused to clear a mine aid bill for House action. Chair man Sabath D.-Ill) told report CTS he remembered the vote as be- ing five to four against the bill, but Engle said he understood it was a tie vote.
 Two members of the rules com mittee favoring the measure were not present for the vote, Engle said.
 Because of this, he explained, he feels that the committee may reconsider its action.
 This optimism was not shared by either Sabath of Rep. Peterson D.-Fla), chairman of the public lands committee. where the legis- lation originated.
 Sabath told reporters he believ- ed the mine subsidy bill had reached the end of the trail" with the committees action.
 Peterson said he saw little prospect that the committee will reconsider the measure, or that it can be brought up before the House under a 2l-days notice rule.
 The bill turned down was one drafted by Sabath himself. which would have authorized s165,000,- 900 over a four year period in in centive payments to stimulate the development and conservation of strategic minerals.
 It was a compromise of legisla- ton originally prepared by Engle which would have provided for S33O, 100000 for incentive pay ments over like period. The rules committee refused several weeks ago to approve the Engle bill.

On Breaks Road By
First of December

The Breaks of Cumberland
road from Haysi to the Kentucky
line will be graded and surfaced
with a stabilized base by the first

tions are favorable this fall, state
highway engineers reported this
week.
State forces from Construction
Camp No 6 are at present grad
ing and widening 9,52 miles In
Dickinson and Buchanan cou1l-
ties, laying pipe lines for drain
age and putting down base stone.
The resident engineer said there
is some interference becarse Of
the narrow working space in the
old road, but that traffic is being
maintained with the least possible
delay
The Breaks road was added to
the state primary system by the
highway commission on July l as
Route 80. 1t had previously been
Route 80, but was deleted as a
primary road in 1871 because OF
the small volume of traffic able
to get through. When Kentusky
builds the road from Elkhorn to
the Virginia line, the scenic route
is expected to carry a heavy vol
ume of traffic

Two Mile Section Of
Mcclure Road To Be
Finished by Oct. l

The first tWo-mile section OF
Route 81 from Fremont toward
Mcclure in Dickinson County
should be completed by the first
of October, with good weather,
the state highway resident en-
gineer said this week.

this summer. the engineer said.
Now that construction of the
half-mile section at Haysi is
virtually complete, more men and
equipment are available for re-
location of the ledge road be-
tween Fremont and Mcclure on
Route 81.
The resident engineer said that
rough grading is complete on the
first two miles and that forces
are now laying base macadam,
smoothing out slopes and pouring
concrete for the abutments to Big
Branch bridge, with plans laid to
complete that portion this month,
"if the weather holds good" The
highway department contem-
plates extending the construction
of Route 81 on toward Mcclure.
The work ON Route 80 at HaySi
cost at the rate of $250,O0O per
mile because of heavy excavation
and retaining walls necessary to
hold the new cuts and fills in
place. While final figures have
not yet been determined, the cost
of the work for quantities of ex-
cavation, retaining wall, pave
ment and other items needed 10

set at $l25,00O by the highway de
partment estimating engineer.
