FOR THE HOME A NEWSPAPER Chillicothe Gazette Information and Enjoyment For Every Member Of Established 1800-Oldest Newspaper in the United States West of the Alleghenies The Family VOL. 153, 1 NO. 198 CHILLICOTHE, OHIO, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1953 20 PAGES -7 CENTS For State Route Highway Gets School Land Relocation City City Schools May Reject Tuition Pupils Living Outside Present District Limits Bus Service Also Poses New Problem By E. A. ORTMAN Effect of A-plant activities in this community on future operations of Chillicothe schools was discussed informally Thursday, by members of the city school Do board.

Building populations, tuition and transportation of pupils beyond the two-mile limit came in for the most attention with sidelights on safety at street crossings and channeling of some children in outlying adjacent areas to county district schools rather than congesting city buildings. Board members agreed, that the city school population will mount to a new high this year with the end nowhere in sight for the next five or six years. With new areas being annexed to the city, grade buildings in all sections of the city will feel the impact, board members know. Some annexations are pending, but those now lying outside of the city and school district limits, may be classified as sections of the districts in which they reside. Some adjacent area families have been sending their children to Chillicothe the schools on a tuition basis, but under present stress, it is figured that children in the city district will have to be served first and the others secondarily, if facilities are available.

Transportation Annexation of the Carlile Hill and Plyley's Lane areas brings into the school system a number of families who live two miles beyond the schools to be attended. This calls for transportation of these children to the city schools, but those in these areas not two miles or more from the schools will have to continue getting their transportation as they have in the past, either on privately chartered vehicles or individual cars. No exceptions for those less than two miles can be made in any particular case, for such an exception would be argument for the inclusion of all others within the district traversed by a regular school bus. Transportation is paid by the state as required by law on the two mile basis. When and if Brewer Heights is added to the city some of the children in this area will be more than two miles from the Worthington district and these will have to be are now the children the Zane transported, as, addition (North Scioto township).

STEWART'S AUGUST SALE Of fine topcoats, Non -Red Unions End Strikes in France Strips Granted Off Eastern, Tiffin Sites Way was opened Tuesday afternoon for the acquisition of .12 acre on the east side of the old Eastern school building site and .396 of an acre on the west side of the Tiffin school site for development of the relocation of Route 23, from Main southward through the city. Following a meeting of Chillicothe school board members with George N. Gearhart, right-of-way agent for the Department of Highways, a resolution of authority for transfer of the two parcels was adopted by the board. To Pay $21,293 The state of Ohio will pay the board a total of $21,293 for the two strips, the Eastern strip will bring $10,861 ($7,241 for the land and $3,620 for damages) and the Tiffin site, $10,462 ($6,962 for the land and $3,500 for damages). The strip at Eastern will front 30 feet on Main street, tapering to feet at a point 181 feet north of Main street along Bridge street, No.

land was taken from the north half of the 400 foot block. Tiffin school the strip to be taken is 49 feet wide at the south end and extends the entire length of the school property, 550 feet, tapering to a width of 26 feet at the north end. Eliminates "Lake" In return for the transfer of the property, the Department of Highways, State of Ohio, agrees to install an adequate drainage system that will do away with "Tiffin Lake," an eyesore that has inevitably followed each heavy shower in the last few months. A five-foot chain fence boundary line also will be ens installed by the state. The state formula in arriving at the price for the tracts is based on about 60c a square foot at Tiffin site, and at Eastern, the 30 feet frontage on Main was figured at a total of $160 with the remainder valued at about $1 a square foot.

Location, adaptability and other related factors are considered by the state riving at an appraisal formula, which may or may not be considered as reflecting relative values in a particular community. Look to Future The widening of Bridge street at the Eastern site is believed to be in line, not only with the present project of relocation and extension of Route 23, south, but an indication of what future plans may be, when and if ever, the highway is modernized as a fourlane highway to Columbus and other points northward. It is the general opinion of highway and school officials and erties developers. the many that the propnewly relocated highway will be enhanced in value when the project is completed. The resolution adopted unanimously by the board members, in effect authorized and empowered the presiding officer and clerk to sign such instruments as required for transfer of the properties to the State of Ohio, on the terms and by the descriptions outlined by Mr.

Gearhart, and to deliver the necessary instruments (Please Turn to Page 18, Col. 1) COUNTYWIDE REGISTRATION got under way in Pike County Thursday.

The AEC chairman shortly thereafter issued a statement confirming that U.S. monitors had detected an atomic explosion in the Soviet, on Aug, 12, and that it included "thermonuclear" reactions -the scientific name for the hydrogen fusion process.

Obviously, the latest Soviet atomic development was the big item on the agenda. Asked to brief committee members were officials of Strauss' commission and of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

It seemed doubtful that there would be much elaboration, for the public, on Strauss statement of early yesterday, which said the United States had produced in 1951 and 1952 atomic tests the same sort of reaction detected in the Aug. 12 Soviet blast. Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Atomic Energy Committee, said "we must assume" the Soviet claim of having tested a type of H-bomb is true, (Please Turn to Page 18, Col.

Romulo, former ambassador to Washington and onetime president of the U.N. General Assembly, formed his own Democratic Party and announced for the presidency after failing to win the nomination of the administration Liberal Party. The Liberals nominated President Elpidio Quirino, who is recuperating in the United States after two abdominal operations at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He is expected to return here soon.

Magsaysay, former defense secretary in Quirino's cabinet, also bolted the Liberal Party and was nominated for the presidency by the opposition Nacionalista Party.

By MAX HARRELSON Scandinavians Favor India In Peace UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.

(P- The Scandinavian countries today joined the growing list of U. N. governments lining up in favor of India's participation in the Korean peace conference. Despite increased United States efforts to block the inclusion of India, Denmark this morning became a co-sponsor of an Australia-New Zealand resolution recommending a seat for Prime Minister Nehru's government. Both Sweden and Norway later told the General Assembly's 60- nation Political Committee they would support the proposal.

Cuba With U. S. But, a short time later, Cuba became the first U. N. member to line up with the United States in opposing India's inclusion in the conference.

Meanwhile, the delegates studied a new Indian proposal which some said would give Communist China and North Korea a veto over the U. choices for the conference table. The new Indian move coincided with a stepup by the United States in its drive to keep India out of the negotiations. U. S.

Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. announced he would vote against inviting India to the conference table. The General Assembly's 60-nation Political Committee meanwhile kept up its efforts to pick a slate of representatives to sit at the conference.

No outbreaks violence were reported, either in French Morocco or Tangier, the international I zone, PARIS (AP) Non-Communist unions ordered thousands of workers back to their jobs today the first break in the wave of strikes that has strangled France for 16 days. But the back-to-work trek was slow. Unions were meeting all over France to discuss the terms of settlement. The Socialist Workers' Force (FO) and the Christian Labor Federation (CFTC) reached agreement with Premier Joseph Laniel's government early today for postal, telegraph and telephone workers to end their strike.

Other government workers were expected to join the back-to-work movemnt. But attempts to put in telephone calls to other cities in France still were fruitless this afternoon. The communications were not expected to be normal services, before Monday in any case. Few Trains Run On other strike fronts there was little perceptible change. Only a few railroad trains were running, though Socialists and Catholics ordered their rail men back to work.

The Paris subway and bus system were still partially paralyzed. Coal mines were still idle. Furthermore, a 48-hour strike of metal workers called by non-Communist unions began today. Thousands of workers were reported idle at steel mills and other factories in the nation. But the management at the big Renault automobile plant in Paris said only 2,000 of its 16,000 workers failed to show up.

Concessions Made The government was reported to have promised the postal, telephone and telegraph strikers: 1. To call into session before Sept. 30 a commission to consider a general upward revision of French wages. 2. To take no sanctions against strikers.

3. To consult the unions before putting into effect Laniel's proposed economy decrees upping retirement age limits and cutting other benefits. These decrees were the original cause of the strike. The strikers later added demands for wage increases and bonuses. The settlement was expected to form a pattern for settlement of other strikes.

The Catholic union, CFTC, today restated its demand that ment be called back next consider the labor situation. The steering committee of the National Assembly was to meet later to decide whether to summon Parliament from its summer vacation. Informed sources said they believed the committee would decide against such a call. But observers warned that plenty of trouble may still lie ahead for Lanil. The Communist-led General Confederation of Labor (CGT), left out of the negotiations, had not yet indicated any end to its walkout.

The CGT controls the bulk of the railroad workers and transportation officials said the lines could operate only on a reduced scale without its members. 20 years in prison. Sgt.
