Mr.. Nicholson said that the

costs, Mr.. Nicholson explained.
After that, he said, Capital

The company has been running
buses over the six-tenths of a

the past six years, Mr.. Nicholson
said. The company has not shared
any of the maintenance cost dur
ing that time. he declared.
The commission has just COM
pleted resurfacing Beach drive
from the East-West highway to

pointed out. The CTC buses use
that portion between the East

he said. Resurfacing of that
section cost $4,000.
After the temporary permit was
granted March 20, the company
offered to pay only $50 a year,
Mr.. Nicholson said. The COM
mission did not consider that
equitable.
On June IL. the commission
rescinded it's action of March 20.

F Foreign Aid Fund Cut
Slows Arms Output
Abroad, Acheson SAYS
Secretary Regrets Need
To Limit Grants Asked
For French Program Now
BY Garnett D. Homer

Secretary of State Acheson said
today that drastic cuts by Con-
gress in foreign aid funds will,
have an important effect on
stretching out or slowing up pro-
|duction of arms for the Vests
defense build-up.
He made this comment In tell
ing a news conference the United
States Government is disappointed
in not being able to provide all
the additional aid asked by Flance
to help finance her tllree-year
arms production program.
France asked for 1925 million
for this purpose. The United
States replied last week that it
could provide only $186 million.
AS result France faces a cutback
in its arms production program.
The British government also has
decided to limit defense produc-
ton in an effort to help relieve
Britain's economic crisis by in
creaSing exports.
Has Submitted List.
Mr.. Acheson explained that
France had laid before this Gov
ernment list of military equip
ment scheduled for production in
French plants which they would
like the United States to buy in
its off-shore procurement pro-
gram.
American officials went over the
French list in the light of the
money Congress appropriated, q
drastic reduction from Mr.. Tru-
mans request, Mr.. Acheson said.
The Presidents $7.9 billion
foreign aid request was cut ap-
proximately 25 per cent.
Then the French were told
Mr.. AcheSon continued, what this
Government could afford to do. He
said we just haven't got the money
to provide the other $439 million
asked by the French.
Reports Exaggerated.
Asked if the failure to provide
the full amount of aid asked by
France dooms that country to in
adequate defense production, Mr..
Acheson said some reports on that
line have been quite exaggerated,
The American action means
that some equivalent involved in
the French program could not be
produced with United States
funds. But he indicated some of
1t might be taken up by trans
fers in the French budget.
Paris newspapers said, the Asso-
ciated Press reported, that some
factories will have to close and
at least $4,000 persons will be
thrown out of work.

Then the tributes to the 71a-
mile span began.
"Arched in majestic strength
across Maryland's bay" was the
way Gov. McKeldin put it.
Mr.. Lane said. II am thrilled
at the completion of the greatest
single thing I ever took part in"
He spoke Of the violent and
abusive objections" the legal
actions to restrain" and finally
even sordid insinuations Of graft
and corruption" which marked
his campaign for the bridge while
he was Governor from 1947 to
1851. These things, he said. held
up work on the span for two years.
Gone was the bitterness Of the
gubernatorial campaign of 1850.
Gov. McKeldin, after paying
tribute in poetry to Mr.. Lane, his
former political opponent, said:
This is Pres Lanes day."
Gov. McKeldin said the new
bridge will bring benefits to all
areas.
Cites Eastern Shore Gains.
Many who know the Eastern
Shore only by name will discover
the beauties of its recreation areas
and the advantages Of its gracious
way Of life." he said.

clared, to think about the next

bay bridge is the third step. The
fourth is a tunnel under Baltimore

tual effort and resolve that the
fourth will soon be, too, a reality"
he said.
The former Governor also had
something to say about the
naming Of the bridge. One sug-
gestion. which has been indorsed
by House Of Delegates resolu-
ton in the General Assembly, Is
that it be named after him.

portion to the amount of military
pressure put on the Communists
and that the Communists believe
the United Nations forces will not
attack to force a truce.
He said the Reds still have the
capability Of striking at any point
with considerable surprise"
But he added they have been
thinning out their front line
strength quite bit over a period
of many weeks" to the point where
it is thinner than ever before"
Gives Six Reasons.
He said their reasons for doing
so were:
/. Floods.
2. U. N. close air support of in
fantry attacks.
3. Pressure on the ground by
the 9th Army.
4. Lack of supplies in the Com
munist forward areas.
S. Threat of a U. N. amphibious
offensive.
6. A Communist decision that
the U. N. forces will not attack
and that there will not be an
armistice.
Armistice talks at Panmunjom
are in recess until Sunday.
Gen. Van Fleet told newsmen
that the Communists were 'in a
position Of readiness to wait out
a war;"
Whether this is connected
with an armistice or not is any,
body'S guess" he said.
Needed Truce Last Year.
Gen. Van Fleet said although
the Reds had "thinned out" their
frontlines, they still had almost
a million men in North Korea. He
continued:
The Reds needed and wanted
an armistice in June and again
in November Of last year when
they were ''in bad shape" but
after they got through the win
ter. they became bold" and a
tough trader" at the armistice
conference table.
Recent trends indicate less of
a chance for an armistice than
ever before" Gen. Van Fleet said.
He reported the Reds have built
up their defenses on both coasts
in fear of an Allied amphibious
attack "of which they always have
been frightened"
sway to Win Is by Pressure"
Gen. Van Fleet said he believed
the main reason the Reds
thinned their front-line forces
was the 9th Army's heavy pres
sure by artillery fire.
"At long last. it has become
apparent to the enemy that he
has been a damn fool to stay in
the frontlines for us to shoot at"
he said.
Eighth Army military pressure
causes more casualties and dam
age then the enemy is capable
of maintaining.
"The best way to win is by
pressure.
1--WE are strong anywhere, but
we like to have him in strength
as far forward as possible. The
farther forward he is, the easier
we can knock him out. We con-
vinced him of that and he finally
has come to his senses"
Troubled by Floods
Gen. Van Fleet said floods
caused the Reds more trouble by
cutting their front line supplies
in recent weeks, particularly OH
the western front.
Commenting on the bitter fight
ing for Old Badly Hill on the west
ern front, Gen. Van Fleet said
there had been no concerted effort
by the Allies to retake the advance
positions held since July % by tle
Chinese troops.
Gen. Van Fleet said that when
the U.N. wants to retake Old
Baldy "it will be retaken."
He said Old Baldy-as terrain
sis unimportant but as a place to
kill Chinese, maintain our posi-
ton and prove to the enemy that
he can't capture the hill. we still
give it some attention"
