Bridge Equals Highway,
So Fine May Equal $1,000

BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-Bridges
are part of highways, Maryland's
Attorney General has ruled, and
that opinion may cost the owner
of a truck more than $1,000.
Magistrate j. Milton Dick e.
Cumberland has before him a
charge that truck weighing ST.
800 pounds crossed the Potomac
River bridge into Maryland from
Wiley Ford, w. Va.
The $1,000 pounds is under the
general limit for trucks on high
ways but still violates the bridge
capacity, which is 10000 pounds.
So Magistrate Dick asked the Att
torney General whether bridge
lis part of highway.
Attorney General Hall Ham
mond ruled it is. He said the
1851 law on truck weights "re-
pealed by implication" the rela-
lively small fines for violating
bridge loads.
The fine for exceeding bridge
limits previously was $25 to 500.
But under Mr.. Hammond's ruling.
the Elliott Motor Lines Of VIM
chester, Va, could be fined six
cents for each of the 1890
pounds over the 20.000-pound
bridge limit-for a total of 81 ,038.

ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. 25.--One

The well blew in 48 hours ago

cubic feet a day.
I'VE won't know for q little
while just what the capacity will
be," said a somewhat excited and
bewildered Joseph Myers today.
The 38-year-old driver for the
Altoona Fire Department added:
We've been told it may average
around 40 million cubic feet a
day - certainly not much less,
anyhow. From what they said it
should produce for four and one
half to five years. My brothers
and I, along with one of my nep-
hews, figure we'll get $3.50 a day

grocer Park Thompson conceded
ruefully today that at least one
horse still is kicking around.
Mr.. Thompson, operator of a

story:
He was driving along a high
way when he noticed the horse,
pursued by a yapping dog, racing
across field toward him. The
horse leaped a fence beside the
road, landed squarely atop Mr.
Thompson's car. Its steel-shod
hooves literally caved in the tor

Mr.. Thompson. who had the car

damage at 5000. The horse

barger. commanding the Ninth
Tactical Air Force, who said some
people wanted to break the Tac-
tical Air Force into penny pac-
kets" and give operational control
to corps or divisions.
The Field Forces commander
did not say so, but it was under

officially in the dispute which now

Chiefs Of Staff for final decision.

is flown by the Navy.
Collins May Take Easier Stand.
Gen. Wolfinbarger refuses to re-
treat from the concept that the
Air Force must first live in the air
before assigning its strength to
other missions. At the same time
Gen. Clark believes that the
ground objective comes first, and
other aims are secondary.
There were. reports that Gen,
Collins, Army Chief of Staff, was
less inclined to challenge the All
Force view Of close support opera.

Meanwhile Air Force men OF
high rank here noted that off,

They point out that the doc

Rangers Breaking Up
For Individual Jobs
with Infantry Units
By.the Assoeiated Press

2 : y :
FORT BRAGG, N. c.. Aug. IS.
The famed Rangers Of World
War II are being broken up as a
unit by the Army and assigned
to individual infantry missions.
1t is the end Of an era for the
Rangers-the daredevil boys who
were trained along the same lines
as the British Commands in the
last war.
Authoritative sources here say
the Rangers in Korea have ceased
to exist as q unit.
The Rangers were sent over last
December when the United Ma
tionS forces were in retreat. The
idea was that the Rangers with
their specialized training would
be able to match the inflltration
and behind-the-lines raids Of the
Reds.
But then Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway welded the 9th Army
into a strong force and his in
fantry began doing the chores
that had been envisioned for the
Rangers.
Gen. Mark w. Clark reached
the decision on the future Of the
Rangers.
The force will continue to have
"a specialized training school at
Fort Benning, Ga. Men who enter
the Rangers will continue to re-
|ceive specialized Ranger training
the same training that MADE
British Commands and American
Rangers famous in World War II.
After the men complete the
course, they will be assigned to
various infantry units where their
training will be valuable. They
still will use Ranger tactics with
the Infantry division.
