On Relocating Highways If anything was gained by the hearing held here" on Monday regarding the pro posed changes in Highways 73-75 as they concern Plattsmouth, it was the opinion that decisions made by the Highway Com mission in cooperation with the State High way Department are most inconsistent. Little, if any, information as to costs, exact routes, proposed intersections, was revealed. To this writer it appeared to be more of a "feeling out" get-to-gether than an actual proposal drawn up, carefully prepared and presented on the proposition that "this is it." No maps were displayed other than a county map with a red line drawn, similar to the outline carried in recent issues of this newspaper. While, we must admit Secret ary Boyles in his opening statement pointed out the meeting was held in obeyance with Federal law and covered only the economic effect on the City of Plattsmouth, it was hard for this correspondent to see how the "economic effect" could be evaluated with no more information disclosed than at Mon day's hearing. This newspaper is the first to admit that the present route of 73-75 through Plattsmouth leaves a lot to be desired and should be changed, and most business people here will go along with us. How everr we can't see the feasability of spend ing millions of dojlavs for two railroad over passes in a' distance of less than three miles, more millioat f or purchases of new rights-of-way, more 'millions for grading through a near mountainous area and con creting the surfaces just to save about one mileon what is calWd a direct route. Plattsmouth needs a four-lane high way i north. Traffic on this thoVoughfare is terrific. There is .no question the present highway is not adequate to carry the load and during. many ..hours of the day it is a congested mess. However, we are yet to be convinced that' the proposed two-lane by-pass as 'proposed by the State Comis sion "is going to solve the problem. All it will ,do is carry the "mess" a mile west of the City in our estimation, ?An alternate route that would solve most of the problems and could, we be lieve, be constructed for one-third to half the cost of the proposed jungle of over passes, cloverleafs, and indicision, would follow the present route to the corner north of the Masonic home, then follow the Missouri Pacific lines, in west Plattsmouth, then south to connect, with the present routg south of town. It's nearly level, would give the. highway long sweeping' curves that at one time the Federal High-, way Commission .deemed jsq, nec&sswy toC' eliminate fatigue at the wheel and at the sanuS time would give 'tourists a "peek" at what Nebraska has to 'offer and tax- ' payers, who are going to dig down in their pockets for the money to pay for these im provements, a crack at the pocketbooks of some of these passersby to help them pay the overhead to support what our High way Commission proposes to do. In spite of so called rules and regula tions adopted by servants of the people, we are of the firm opinion that taxpayers who are paying the bill should have some voice in how and where their dollars are spent. The hen is the only thing we know of that can lay around and make money.

DREW PEARSON SAYS: OIL COMPANIES MAKE RE CORD PROFITS FROM SUEZ DE BACLE; IKE NIXES 4TH OF JULY PIX; EX-CHAIRMAN OF UNAMERI CAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE EX ITS, i Washington. The'sto-ckholders re ports of big corporations usually make dull reading. But the reports of the major oil companies this spring make fascinating reading. They show that the suez canal fiasco may have put the skits under Britain as an empire, but it made beautiSul music in the cash . registers of the big American Oil Companies. They reaped millions from Britain's tragedy at suez. The oil companies had been asked by the Eisenhower administration to supply oil to Westren Europe, formed a semiof ficial committee to do so, asked the right to avoid compliance with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Then they immediately an nounced a stiff increase in the price of oil. Humble oil, A subsidiary of Standard You're not home yet, Ike! C.,,.,1 i .in HM HI W-Wg of New Jeresy, led the way with an increase of 35 to 40 cents a barrel. These two companies are controlled by the Rockefeller family which contributed $152, G04 to Eisenhower in the '56 campaign. The family of Chris Herter, new under Secretary of State, inherited its millions from Standard of N.J., while the Dul. les Law Firm in New York Sullivan and Cromwell re presents Standard of N J. As a result of the increase, Standard of N.J. raked in the whopping total of $237,000,000 in net profits during the brief first three months of this year 16 per cent higher than the same period last year. Biggest profit bonanza from suez went to gulf oil 30 per cent during the first three months of 1957 over the same period last year. Gulf gets all its oil from the Gulf of Persia, is closely affiliated with union oil of California of which under Secretary Herbert Hoover Jr., was executive vice president. The mellon family, which con trols Gulf, contributed $100,150 to the Ike campaign last fall. The Texas company's profits shot up 23.5 per cent during the first three months of 1957 and board chairman Augustus long frankly stated in his repport to , stockholders that the big spurt wa.s due to Suez. Texas is a part owner of the Arabian Am erican Oil Co. Standard Oil of Ohio jumped its profits 20 per cent during the first three months, despite the fact that its volume increased only 3 per cent. Clyde T. Foster, president of Ohio, admitted that the suez crisis was responsible. Socony Mobil and Standard of California, both part owners of the Arabian American Oil Co, each jumped its profits 13 per cent, while Sinclair increased 8 per cent despite the fact that sales increased only 1.8 per cent. President Eisenhower has re fused to film a special message for the annual fourth of July celebration at Philadelphia's In dependence Hall, birthplace of American Independence. Answering for the president White House Aide Frederic Fox wrote to William Goldman, chairman of the celebration committee: "I must report that this message will like the Declaration of 1776 be carried on paper, not on film." Ike, he said, would send a written mess age only- This burned up the celebra tion committe which appealed to U.S. information director Arthur Larson, pointed out that a film ed message would dramatize our Independence Day around the world. "I am sure," wrote City Re presentative Abe Rosen, "That this filmed commentary by the president would be something that every movie house and television network in the country would use on July 4th." Larson w-rote back that the White House's refusal was final. The passing of Sen. Joe Mc Carthy will be followed by the departure from Washington of his counterpart in the House of Representative, Ex-Congressman Harold Velde (R., Ill ) Velde, who once created rival headlines as chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, has been hang ing around Washington since he withdrew from Congress, try ing to wangle a job from the administration. His latest bid was for the Chief Council's job at the Feederal Housing Ad ministration. He even tried to drum up clients for a private law practice, but couldn't raise enough business to make it pay Now the forlorn ex-headline hunter is about to pack his bags and leave the scene of his former triumphs. He is even using his home. Ex-Conpes.sman'are entitled to free post;tP for six months after they leave office to cl.nn tip their official business This privilege is not supposed to be "X X' '-"'"V t'k, AeffT v f ;r' used, of course, for personal mail. Yet Velde is sending out circulars, postage free, to pros pective home buyers, offering his house for sale. It might be called direct mail advertising at the .taxpayers' expense. Velde's circular offers: "Excellent opportunity to pur chase lovely one-story red-brick rambler, first class condition, from original owner. House a I little over two years old, in per fect location for member of Con gress, or Capitol Hill Employees, as well as Andrews Air Base and Boiling Field personnel owner willing to paint walls in colors desired by purchaser.

R. A. Olson, associate profes sor of agronomy at the Univer sity of Nebraska college of agri culture, says "fertilizer should be placed (0 the side and slight ly below the corn row not a bove the seed or in the row." "Corn planters which give good side-band placement of fertiliz er have been developed but are not in general use," Olson points out. There are two good reasons for making a true sideband place ment of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers for coin. First, it enables the plants to use more of fertilizer phos phorus when nitrogen is present, and, second, it prevents poor stands resulting from too much soluble fertilizer falling into or over the seed row. The high water solubility of ammonium phosphates, potas sium salts and most nitrogen fertilizers is a disadvantaec if the fertilizer is placed too close to the seed and if soil moisture is low during the germination period. The combination of highly sol uble fertilizer, seed contact and dry weather may result in ser ious stand losses. This is no fault of the fertilizer, but. is due to improper placement by planters and drills now in us. Journal Want Ads Pay THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, May 16, 1957 By Stanley Jame. Journal Washington Reporter WASHINGTON. May 16 Fres ident Eisenhower's major goal as president is to steer the uni ted States through the immed iate luture without having to ri sort to all-out war. Not one ol the President's associates or friends who know him well doubts that this is tne prime ambition of the man who led Allied armies to victory over Axis powers in World War II. To achieve his goal, the Presi dent has long been convinced that his country must play its cards from a position of power and make its intentions firm intentions known clearly to the Communist world. It was this sort of sharp and pointed warn ing which calmed the waters around Formosa a couple of years ago. In the Middle East crisis re volving around Jordan, the Pres ident new Middle East Doctrine endorsed by Congress, gave him the authority to use military force, if necessary. Few doubled that Mr. Eisenhower was pre pared to use it, as a last resort to keep the Communists from taking over any more territory in this strategic area of the world. However, the determination to use force, the autnority lrom Congress to use it, and the pos session of impressive military part in convincing Soviet leaders that a military play for Jordan was not a good gamble at the moment. So the President's for eign policy, weak in some lines in the last four years, has ac complished its aim on several important occasions. To keep the world relatively intact, and independent from Moscow's influence, the U. S. taxpayer is footing a heavy bill and the Defense Department is spending lots of money. While the U. S. Army is not big (about 1,000,000 men) it is becoming modern, and while the U.S. Air Force does not have the numer ical strength of the Red Air Force, it has a big sting. And the U. S. Navy, greatest and most modern in the world, exerts a powerful diplomatic and military influence all over the world. All of this takes money. In the recently-proposed budget, for the year beginning July 1st, the President suggests Congress spend over 40 million dollars to keep the guard of the U. S. UP. But even so, there are other moves which need to be mad'. For one thing. NATO's weapons are obsolete. In south Korea, our military equipment Is on a stand pat basis while the enemy is con stantly, modernizing his military machine. And in the guided missle race, no one is really sure how far we are ahead of Russia or if we are actually ahead at all! So the road to peace is not an easy one. To make it even more difficult, the Russians have been trying to browbeat U. S. allies in western Europe in recent weeks. The Reds have threaten ed many nations with atomic destruction if they allow U. S. atomic weapons forces to occupy bases on their soil. And this threat includes the stationing of atomic weapons NATO units in these countries. The countries threatened have WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLl: j Vehicle HORIZONTAL SWoad (conw, 1 Depicted form) vehicle 9 Handle 13 Withstood 14 Erect 15 Decreases IS Geological 4 Quote 5 Belgian river C Courts (ab.) 7 French erticle 8 Editors (ab.) 9 Arrives (ab.) layers 1 u Tidy 18 Instrument for 11 Sarcasm stamping dates 19 Moving 20 And (Latin) 21 Egyptian sun sod 22 Lease 25 Let it stand 12 Biblical mountain 17 Symbol for tantalum 23 Genus of in.-.ects 24 Pastry 25 Pierce with a 27 Ocean 28 Tungsten (ab.) 29 Pair (ab.) 30 Blackbird of cuckoo family 32 Petty quarrel 34 Judicial bench 3G Father 37 Troop (ab.) 38 Muse of poetry Al Concur 45 Printing mistakes 47 Warning , devices 48 Accomp'ishcr 49 Most stricken by poverty 81 Stations (ab.) 62 It Is propelled by VERTICAL 1 Batterer 2 Returned crutuuns knife shrugged off the Soviet warnings or replied with blunt rejections. But it is true that an atomic war would proDaoiy bring aoout wide-spread and horrible uestruc uon 111 some 01 these sinail countries. Yet the governments 01 mese nations oeluve thai re taliatory power, in the atomic weapons iicia, is theuesiguar antee against attack there is.

However, the Socialists could conceivably make a aeal,witn the Keds, if they dispbse'df Chancelor Ade nauer. What the results would be is an open question. In Japan tne key question re volves around that country's economy, "the United States is seeking to build a solid friend ship with the Japanese people and government. But American business interests sometimes cause friction, naturally. There is tne dilficuit question of tar iffsso ii not to offend ilie Jap anese. !.'

Should either of these countries drift toward Communism, it might mean an -added, defense burden for the U. S. If Washington can encourage rearmament in these two countries, see the job done, and retain the support of both, then U. S. delcnse problems may be reduced in the immed iate years ahead. This is the goal of the Administration. Omaha Market Trade Reflects 'Solid' Look . Livestock ' trade Monday had a generally "solid" look. The week opened with slaughter steers, yearlings and heifers sell ing steady to 25 cents higher. However, cool, rainy weather offset at least part of the up turn. Stocker and feeder cattle and calves sold strong to 25 cents and up. Hogs were mostly steady to 25 cents lower and fat lambs steady. The Omaha cattle and hog runs Monday were lighter than a week earlier, the sheep run heavier.
