Grafton, Louisville attorney and principal author of the 1D54 legislation, and the Kentucky Good Roads Federation, the legislation's sponsor. Curlin filed the -r test suit against Governor Wetherby for a court declaration on the law.

He said the Governor had refused to appoint the highway authority and put the act into operation until its validity had been established. Others then joined in the litigation. Former Attorney General Hubert Meredith of Owensboro and Attorney Joseph J. Leary of Frankfort opposed the law along with attorney Louis Cox, Frankfort, representing Wetherby. House plan to raise dairy-price supports.

He also asked a House-Senate conference committee to eliminate another House proviso providing for a two-price system for wheat, and requested that it accept the Senate plan for controlling grazing on federal forest lands. He opposed a two-year limit set by the House on his new wool-support program. Tries To Nail It Down Eisenhower, who scored a triumph when both chambers approved flexible farm-price supports, sought to nail down that victory in letters to Chairmen Hope Kan.) and Aiken Vt.) of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. The Chief Executive centered his heaviest fire on the House plan to boost dairy-price supports from 75 to 80 per cent of parity price. Eisenhower said the proposed increase would hurt rather than help dairy farmers because it ould discourage consumption of milk, butter, and cheese, add to present price-depressing surpluses, and increase the load on taxpayers.

He said such action also would mean "excessive windfall profits" for middlemen who have bought up large amounts of dairy products in hopes Congress would vote to raise the support level. nigh Tost Rockets Again Disclose Farticles In Ionosphere Washington, Aug. 12 UP) Rockets launched from balloons probed the skies in the North Atlantic 13 times last month to detect samples of a mystery particle found in the ionosphere. The tests were sponsored jointly by the Office of Naval Research and the Atomic Energy Commission. This year's rocket tests successfully rediscovered a large number of low-energy particles detected during similar experiments last summer.

The scientists wanted to find out what these particles are and why there were 10 times more of them than normally expected under existing cosmic radiation theory. The experiments were conducted with "Skyhook" balloons made of plastic and equipped with meteorological rockets. The balloons were released from the icebreaker Atka and rose to about 70,000 feet, at which point the rockets were automatically launched and continued to an altitude of about 350,000 feet above the sea.

Grounds for the appeal will be set out later in pleadings, Ferguson said. Toll Road Act Not Involved The act would enable Kentucky to speed improvement of its primary road system through bond issues. The bonds would be issued by a highway authority after the Highway Department turned over roads to the agency for improvement. The bonds would be retired from rentals paid by the department from its tax receipts over a 40-year period. Then the roads would be turned back to the department by the authority.

The act passed by the 1954 General Assembly would not affect the Toll Road Law, already held constitutional, under which Kentucky is building a Louisville-Elizabethtown turnpike.
