Nationalist military sources have been expecting new Communist amphibious action in advance of the Southeast Asia defense treaty meeting in Bangkok this week. It was explained that the Reds in the past have started’ action before important allied meetings to divert attention from them and for propaganda purposes. In air and sea action from last Friday through .Monday, the Nationalists claimed they sank or crippled at- least 48 Red vessels, ranging in size from wooden boats to gunboats and submarines. One submarine was reported definitely supk by nationalist planes Friday and another was attacked Monday in the Formosa strait.

To Conduct Survey For New Toll Road Three States Agree To Conduct Survey EVANSVILLE. Ind. (INSj — Three state agreement to conduct a survey of a Cincinnati-to-St. Louie toll road was reached at a meeting of 250 midwestern transportation officials in Evansville. Monday. Kentucky added its moral support although it will not participate in the survey. Gov. George N. Craig, of Indiana, served as host and reached agreement on the survey at a private conference with .Governors Frank J. Lausche. of Ohio, William G. Stratton, of Illinois, and Lawrence Wetherby, of Kentucky. Executive director Albert J. Wedeking, of the Indiana toll road commission, said He will meet with a representative from Illinois in Chicago, March 1, to select an engineering firm to make the survey. Later, Craig called a survey which declared the southern road “not feasible" for Indiana a “110,000 educated guess." The governor said, however, that the proposed southern Indiana toll road depends on another road from Conneaut. Ohio, to Cincinnati. Lausche said 1700,000 has been alloted for the Conneaut-Cincinnati road, which would tie in with the New York and Pennsylvania turn-

pikes. and he believed the road a sure thing. Craig and Wetherby added they believed this road is the trigger for the Cincinnati-St. expressway. Craig said the north-south Chi-cago-to-Miami toll Toad, which he proposed at the last national governors’ conference is still in the mill. He said he received a telegram from Gov. James Folsom saying Alabama is pushing the road. Wetherby said Kentucky is building 41 miles of road that would become part of the system. Earlier, Charles L. Dearing, former undersecretary of commerce, said President Eisenhower’h slOl- - highway improvement is a threat to states' rights and would lead to “police state federal controls."
