SMYRNA's ON THE LIST.
Town Is Labeled "Speed Trap" In
Use of Radar Unit

Smyrna's on the list This town
has been named on a list accord
ing to an article published in the
Dec. 18th edition of the Journal
Every Evening. smyrna has
achieved the dubious distinction
of being one of several southern
communities where super-strict
enforcement of speed laws has
taken over, according to Philip
c. Wallwork, an official of the
Automobile Legal Association, in
an article written for the United
Press. The article also contains
a tacit warning for residents of
the Newark area. The problem,
Wallwork states, is not speed
traps" as such, but speed limits
set at such unrealistic levels that
it is next to impossible to COM
ply with them. Coupled with this
is tight enforcement of the limits
with radar electric timers, and
the like. Compromising the diff
Guilty, Wallwork says, is the fact
that few cars have speedometers
which register true speed. The 35-
mile maximum speed limit i'm
posed on motorists using the Du-
Pont Highway through Smyrna is
the local incident with which the
report is concerned.

Supply tumble

The Defense Department yes

ment had led to accumulation
of millions of dollars of surplus
supplies at Northeast Air Com
mand bases. but said most OF
the abandoned stockpiles will
be recovered.
Perkins Mcclure, assistant
secretary for supply and logis-
tics, issued a statement con-
f1rming irregularities disclosed
in a report by ChairmaA Nc
Clellan. Democrat of Arkansas,
of the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee.
Mr.. MCGUIRE said Army and
Air Force commanders are TAX
ing steps to prevent recurrence
of such waste, and the Penta-
gon is formulating a policy on
handling surplus supplies in
remote areas.
Senator Mcclellan charged
and Mr.. MCGUIRE admitted that
$50 million worth of excess sup
plies had piled up at Harmon
Air Force Base, Newfoundland.
More than $6 million of the
total has been returned to the
United States. and the $l4 mil
lion balance remains to be SAL
vaged. Mr.. Mcclure said.
The Senator said an uniden-
titled warrant officer had bur-
led $4,000 worth of scrap
parts. supplies and equipment
at the base. Mr.. MCGUIRE said
all but $500 of these stocks
had been recovered.
Senator Mcclellan said he
was exploring waste and mis-
management at Northeast Air
Command bases in Newfound-

Mr.. MCGUIRE blamed the sup

Wisconsin voters will choose
a successor to the late Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, Tues
day in an election that could
hold the key to party control
Of the Senate in the second ses-
sion of the 85th Congress.
If the Republicans win, the
make up of the Senate will
again be 40 Democrats to Al
Republicans. Death of a Dem

generally conceded an edge
over his Democratic opponent
William Proxmire.
Upset Possible
However. political observers
in both Milwaukee and Madi-
son said yesterday there could
be an upset. If that happens
Mr.. Proxmire would become the
first Democratic Senator from
Wisconsin since F. Warren
Duffy, now a Federal judge
who was elected in 1882 and
served one term.
Their uncertainty over the
outcome arises from the fact
that in the July primary seven
Republican candidates for the
Senatorial nomination fought
it out. and the contest left its
scars. Mr.. Kohler was the front
runner by less than 10000 votes
over former Representative

COP. P.Leoders Oppose
Mckinney Atomic Post
By the Associated Press

Senate Republicans yesterday
were reported protesting vigor-
ously to President Eisenhower
against the prospective appoint
ment of Robert Mckinney, New
Mexico publisher. as United
States Representative to the
new International Atomic En-
ergy Agency.
Mr.. Eisenhower apparently
has decided to appoint Mr.. Nc
Kinney, a supporter of Adlai E.
Stevenson's 1856 bid for the
presidency. as gesture toward
bipartiSanship in the interna-
tional field.
Democrats have been COM
planning that while they are
asked to support the admins
tration's foreign policies, they
have had no representation in
top-level jobs since the death
of former Senator Walter F.
George Of Georgia.
Republicans Aroused
The word that Mr.. Eisen-
hover was considering Mr.. Nc
Kinney stirred up something of
a hornets nest among Repub-
licans in the Senate, which
will have to confirm any ap-
pointment to the post. These
members think the job ought to
go to a deserving Republican.
The decision to name Mr..
Mckinney apparently was made
at the White House without

California or his deputy, SEN

AS a result of the backstage
uproar there we're indications
Mr.. Eisenhower may delay any
appointment until after Con-
greSS quits. The President could
make an interim appointment
and send the nomination to
the Senate in January.

Appropriations Committee and
into the Senate arena.
It still faces strong resist
ence to increasing the new
money total much above the
$2.5 billion voted by the House
10 days ago. It also has en-
countered drives to change the
amount and operation of the
proposed new economic De-
velopment Loan Fund.
Senator Mundt. Republican
Of South Dakota. said yester-
day he would urge a require
ment not only for repayment
Of such loans, but also for reg
ular interest and periodic in
Stallment payments.
Final Figure
The bills final figure to be
agreed on by the Senate and
House before expected adjourn
ment Of Congress this week
seems likely to remain below
SO billion in new money. The
Senate committee may recon-
mend something more than So
billion. but the House Appro-
priations Committee or House
,spokesmen at a Senate House
conference probably will insist
on less.
Cuts made by Congress this
year on all other governmental
appropriation bills amount to
approximately SAL billion.
The Eisenhower adminiStra-
tion's rock bottom request for
new money in the foreign aid
bill was 1886, 800, 900. The
House chopped this to $2,524,-
100000, a decrease of $862, ,100,-
900. The President also recon-
mended $6l4,6O0,O0O in reap
preparation of unobligated bal
anceS from last year. The
House voted $667. .050. 900. about
$52.4 million more. The net cut
by the House thus was $685.

Another factor in the coming
election is lack of interest. If
many Of the old guard and

the effect could be in favor of
Mr.. Proxmire. At the same
time, the Republicans have
been hard at work-with more
money ana a better organiza-
tion than the Democrats.
Mr.. Proxnire. a young and
attractive figure. has cam
paigned almost constantly for
the last six years. making
friends very much in the style
of Michigan's Democratic Gov.
IG. Mennen Williams, who has
been five times elected Cover
nor of his State.
Mr.. Kohler served as Gov
ernor for three terms and gave
the State a good administra-
ton. He did not seek renomi-
nation in 1856, and it was
generally understood he would
run for the Senate against
Senator Mccarthy in 1858. The
controversial Senator's death
opened the way for Mr.. Kohler
to seek the Senatorship now.
Mr.. Kohler has always been
a strong supporter of President
Eisenhower and his policies
some of which have not been
popular with the more con-
servative Republicans in Wis
conSin.
Democrats United
The Democrats are united in
support Of Mr.. Proxmire, but
they are in a minority. They
can hope for victory only II
division occurs in the Repub-
lican ranks.
The State Federation OF
Labor has Endorsed Mr.. Prox-
mire, and both the CIO and
AFL unions are helping him
/ Loss of the Mccarthy seat
would be a real blow to the
Republicans. Its effect psy-
chologically on the coming
November election of a Gov
ernor of New Jersey, and on
the 1858 congressional elec-
tions would be bad for the
G. o. P.
The Democrats have sent
a number of important speak,
ers into Wisconsin to campaign
for Mr.. Proxmire. Among them
are Gov. Williams, Senators
Kennedy Of Massachusetts and
Kefauver Of Tennessee, and
Representative Mccarthy Of
Minnesota. Senator Kennedy
spent Is hours Thursday cam
lpaigning in Milwaukee and
Green Bay. He and other
Democratic speakers, including
Mr.. Proxmire himself, have en-
joyed good crowds.
Democratic speakers urge
the voters to elect Mr.. Prox-
mire so that the party will
be sure to retain control of
the Senate. The Republicans,
for their part. point out the
possibility Of a switch in party
control Of the Senate if Mr..
Kohler is elected.
