erate the securing of this right of

making a distinct contribution to
highway progress and highway safe-
ty.
Because of the very heavy de-
off the main system, we sometimes
feel that there is a disposition on the
part of the public to overlook the
needs on our trunk highways. It is
reassuring for a newspaper editor to
give evidence, as you have done, of
appreciating these needs.

near Celina, now has a healthy re-
spect for lightning and what it can
do.
On a recent afternoon a lightning
bolt splintered the top of a pole
north of Celina from which he had
descended only a few moments be-
fore. Overbey and Eddie Tindall,
foreman, Benny Matney and E. F.
Perry had stopped work and
climbed down from the poles to
await the end of a thunderstorm.
They were sitting in their truck
about 50 feet away from Overbey’s
pole when a bolt struck it, rocking
the truck and showering it with
splinters. About 12 feet of the top
of the pole had been splintered.
“We just packed up our tools and
called it a day,” said Overbey, with
a shudder.—Record.

We stepped over to the jail Sat-
urday morning to watch Sheriff
Brawley and Jailer T. L. Ray un-
load another truck of beer which
had been picked up in a recent raid.
We remarked that the jail house
looked like a wholesale liquor es-
tablishment.
Sheriff Brawley and his deputies
have made EIGHTEEN RAIDS on
bootleggers in the last THREE
WEEKS and they really brought
back the evidence. The sheriff’s de-
partment is doing a first class job
of enforcing the liquor laws. They
appreciate the fine cooperation of
the public in making enforcement
possible. After all, if the public
WILL NOT. AID, our officers CAN
NOT DO THEIR JOB EFFECTIVE-
LY. Sheriff Brawley urges that
people report any suspicious activi-
ties in their communities.

Editors Examiner:
I was quite interested in reading
the editorial in your August 3 is-
sue, concerning the condition of
U. S. Highway 75 in the vicinity of

ing the deficiencies on this type of •
highway has been disappointingly i

ones being the insufficiency of our!
revenue to meet even our more!
critical needs, the heavy demand!
for improvement of roads not onI
our main system, and the inability
to proceed as rapidly as would be
desired because of difficulties in ac-
quiring the necessary right of way.
I think our interest in the particu-
lar section you referred to is evi-
denced by the passage of an order
by the Highway Commission some
two years ago, requesting Collin
County to furnish “additional or
new right of way as may be required
for the proper development of a
four-lane, divided roadway, from
the Dallas County line to the Gray-
son County line.” Pursuant to this
order, deeds were given to the
County officials for a portion of the
needed right of way in the latter
part of 1949. Our records do not re-
flect the exact status, but I am un-
der the impression that very little
progress has been made outside the
limits of McKinney. If you could j

WASHINGTON, Aug. -11. Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson said
Friday that Russia has the “influ-

muhist attack on Southern Korea.J strengthen the
He refrained from actually charg-! against the Communist threat,
mg Russia with DIRECTING the ’
North Koreans, but DID EXCUUSE
Russia of doing all in their power
to PREVENT the United Nations
from RESTORING PEACE.
Acheson’s news conference state-
ments about Russia were part of an
intensive American effort to over-
come Russian propaganda charging
this country with aggression in Ko-
rea.
He said that Russia “has clearly
shown, in demanding the withdraw-
al United Nations forces from Ko-
rea, that the settlement it desires
in Korea is “abject submession to
Communist control.”
The Secretary’s statements fol-
lowed up President Truman’s dec-
laration Thursday that the Soviet
delegation to the U. N. Security
Council is filibustering.
Acheson used the same question
and answer method of United States
U. N. Delegate Warren Austin in
leveling his attack on Soviet tactics.
The Secretary asked himself five
this:
questions and gave the answers like
“Whose troops are attacking deep
in someone else’s country,” he asked
“The North -Koreans,” he answ
ered.
Then by the same question and
self-answering method, he said the
Republic of Korea HAS BEEN OV-
ERRUN by an invading army which
a United Nations commission found
had attacked WITHOUT PROVA-
CATION.
That the United Nations is assist-
ing South Korea to defend itself
with the suppart of fifty-three of
its fifty-nine members.
That the Soviet Union has the IN-
FLLUENCE AND POWER to call
off the North Koreans, but instead
, RUSSIA is not one of the U. N.
