Dulles declared that until Russia agrees to an effective system of controls and inspection of nuclear weapons which would make it safe for the U. S. to discontinue the development of the bombs, it is necessary to continue the effort in self-protection. .< He noted that Harold E. Stassen, special assistant to the President, is working on the disarmament problem and said that the U. 8. hopes away can be found to end the heavy expense and admitted danger of continuing development of nuclear weapons. JURY PROBE OF _ (Continued Prom Page One) tor “either didn't'answer or I didn't hear hie answer.” He Maid he was at the opposite end of the long gubernatorial office. W ' The Marion county grand jury ’ is scheduled to hear state treasurer John Peters next after MilMs, to be followed with a voluntary appearance by Gov. Craig, if his doctor permits. The grand jury Tuesday heard Wedeking tell his version of the incident. What the” toll road director told the grand jurors was a secret by law, but Wedeking said: ‘Tve got only one story to tell.” And that story, as disclosed last week to newsmen, was an accusation that Rardin asked Wedeking for money to change Rardin’s vote on the state board of finance. i At the time, Rardin held the deciding vote on the three-man board on the matter of transferring 367,000 from state highway ' department funds to pay for a preliminary survey of a proposed north-south toll road route. Z Rardin did change hia YQto, and < the transfer waa made, but the auditor told newsmen last week that he merely was trying to trap Wedeking in an effort to test operation of the toll road commission. Today, Rardin was refusing to talk to newsmen, and referred all queries about the April 18 incident to his attorney, David Lewis.

Calls Meeting To Discuss Highways Handley Blasts At Transfer Os Funds, INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Lt. ’ Gov. Harold Handley has called a ' meeting of his legislative advisory commission to discuss Hoosier highways. . - — Tn a press release announcing the meeting, Handley blasted the transfer of $700,000 in state highi way funds to finance toll road surveys as “money down the drain.” -- - The press release said the commission meeting had been called so Indiana's freeway program may be geared to probable passage by congress of a multl-bil-i lion-dollar interstate freeway program. ■ He charged that Indiana might ' lose up to $7-milUon in federal 1 matching funds because of £he transfer. He said he arrived 'at that figure on the basis of a. 9- ’ to-1 matching ratio. Handley further said the new federal 'urogram has been set up to- buiiawree highways pot toll roads aim® he suggested z that'‘ too much attention has been directed to chuckholes and surfacing and not enough to constructing adequately wide roads. Toll road officials countered that much of the $700,000 used tor the $286-million east-west northern Indiana road had been repaid from bond proceeds.

New Allotments Are Available For Corn Any producer who intends to plant corn in 1956 on a farm where no corn was planted during the years 1953, 1954, or 1955 must apply for a corn acreage allotment if he wants price support on his farm in 1956, Oscar T. Brown, chairman of the county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, said today. Marketing quotas do not apply to corn, the chairman explained. However, under the acreage allotment program, the production of corn in 1956 on a farm which has no corn acreage allotment would make all the corn produced on such farm ineligible for price support in 1956. Application forms for a corn acreage allotment are availably at the county ASC office. February 15 is the last day such application may be filed.
