MIAMI DAILY NEWS-RECORD-MIAMI, OKLA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1954 Secretary of Airforce Revises Report on Bases in Spain AMERICAN USE OF DROMES IS MAJOR ISSUE Talbott Says U. S. Program To Conform with Pact Between Nations WASHINGTON, Jan. Secretary of the Airforce Harold E.

Talbott hurriedly revised yesterday a statement of U. S. intention to use bases in Spain during time of war to say it will be in line with agreements between the two nations. "Who is going to stop us?" Talbott quickly asked when a reporter said reports are current that the agreement under which this conutry is starting to build several large airdromes in Spain does not provide for American use of the bases in wartime. At another point he said: "There are certain agreements on the use of bases but when the balloon goes we are going to use them." up He made the remarks at a news conference also attended by Secretary of Defense Wilson and other air officials.

Shortly after the conference ended, Talbott's office sent to the Pentagon press room a typed statement in which the secretary said he wished to clarify his remark. He added: "The U. S. Airforce has every intention of living up to the agreements between the United States and those foreign countries that have granted air base rights to country. We realize that such our base rights are an undertaking in the mutual defense and we enter such undertakings with every spirit of cooperation." The agreement with Spain, setting up an exchange of economic and military aid for use of the bases, does not spell out precisely how the bases would be used.

It authorizes their development and use "subject to terms and conditions" decided upon by the two nations. Talbott's clarifying statement obviously was intended to counter the likelihood that his first remark might annoy the SpanIsh government, which like other nations is sensitive about sovereignty. In another part of the news conference, Airforce officials emphasized the vast increase in striking power given smaller bombers. Gen. Nathan F.

said Twining, the force chief of staff, force now has a fighter-bomber and light bomber force that "can carry a big bang" -the smallpackaged atomic bombs developed or tactical atack. Twining said that under the new program for the Airforce there has been no change in the power of the "retaliatory force" of bombers which would unleash atomic reply to an attack on the United States. He said this program will "accentuate and put more emphasis" on air defense. He disclosed that eight more wings of fighters, (a wing of fighters is 75 planes) would be assigned to air defense of the United States. STILL PRETTY FAST BALTIMORE, Jan.

Lyman Beard, Muskogee, president of the Oklahoma Free Roads association which fought the proposals, promised the issue would be kept alive until general elections this summer and autumn. He said Murray did not succeed in removing it from the election as he hoped by the special election. There is little chance that many contracts for the roads can be signed by the end of Murray's administration next January, leaving construction to the next governor. Murray gave no indication of which of the three roads might be started first. The Tulsa -Missouri section may have the advantage because it would furnish straight-through traffic while the others will make turns.

If any of the three states authorize turnpikes extending from the authorized Oklahoma routes it would probably increase interest of bond buyers. NOTES FROM YOUR TOWN see the film.

Dial 5507 for Want-Ad Taker NANCE AIRS HIS ROAD PROGRAM Probable Candidate for Governor Says Free Routes Must Supplement 'Pikes PURCELL, Jan. 27-(P)- House Speaker James C.

Nance, who has unofficially made himself available as a candidate for governor, today declared the turnpikes approved yesterday must be supplemented by a vig-scale free road building program. "I will oppose any new turnpike projects," Nance wrote in his column in the Purcell Register. He aded: The turnpike projects must be supplemented by a big-scale free road building. Free four-lane divided highways must be built west on 66-and down 69 from Vinita to Durant, and from Norman to Gainesville, Tex. "After the three turnpikes are completed there will be no further need for turnpikes and our energies and resources will be spent in developing the free road program." Nance said the big free road would the "missing program link" in Oklahoma's industrial, economic and social programs of advancement.

The Turnpikes voted yesterday will go from Tulsa toward Joplin, from Oklahoma City toward Wichita, and from Oklahoma City toward Wichita Falls, Tex. Nance declared if he were elected governor "my administration would be a good roads administration and I would be a good roads governor." He added that "thousands of citizens who have substantial economic interests along the main highways may be assured we are going to fix these highways." Nance also promised "the interest of the communities paralleling the turnpikes will be remembered as we build the attraction of cities and towns by-passed by the turnpikes will be well adverI tised."

27-(P)- One of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives, a man whose wife didn't even know he was wanted by the law, was captured without trouble last night in an industrial district of Los Angeles where he was working. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in Washington and the local FBI office announced that Alex Richard Bryant, 47, was unarmed and offered no resistance when he was arrested at a trucking company where he was employed as a truck spotter. The FBI said Bryant, who had been living here with his wife and one child under the name of Edward F. Lawson, has spent all but seven months of his adult life behind bars or as a fugitive.

The federal agents said he has a criminal history dating back to 1924. He was serving a life sentence for armed robbery when he escaped from the Michigan state penitentiary at Jackson Jan. 24, 1952, in a prison station wagon. John F. Malone, Los Angeles agent in charge of the FBI office, said Bryant's wife, Gladys, was unaware until her husband's arrest that he was an escaped criminal with a long record.

She said they were married in September, 1952. FBI agents said Bryant, when arrested, commented: "They will be glad to see me back at the pen in Michigan." Agent Malone said Bryant's criminal career started 30 years ago when he was sentenced for Hoover said that before his rape. 1952 escape he was serving a life sentence for armed robbery.

Toll road proponents drew eggs in two precincts when goose voters in Picher ward 1, precinct 1, cast seven ballots against the question but not one for it, while Quapaw precinct 9 voted 11 to 0 against the program. Tabulations from other county communities (yes and no) showed the following results: Narcissa, 31-110; Peoria, 14-61; Wyandotte, 82-116; Council House, 46-82; Commerce, 56-193; Ottawa, 32-78; Picher, 64-180.

In Craig county, where 36 of 38 precincts reported, 700 voted in favor of the question while 600 turned it down. Of the three new Oklahoma turnpikes, Governor Murray indicated that work would start first on the Tulsa-Missouri road, measuring 85.7 miles. It was the shortest of the three turnpikes approved by Oklahoma voters Tuesday. The Oklahoma-Texas road would meas127.8 miles and the Oklahoma City Kansas road would be: 96.2 miles, for a combined length of 309.7 miles for the three turnpikes. The Tulsa-Joplin road is considered particularly enticing to investors who financed the 88-mile Turner turnpike.

It is expected to funnel more traffic to the present toll road and give Oklahoma an edge over other states in routing of the first four-land crosscountry highway. Routing restrictions in the new legislation provides the Tulsa-Joplin road must go within three-fourths of 8 mile of Claremore, Vinita and Miami, JOPLIN STOCKYARDSHogs: 25c higher, only a few head on hand; top today bulk good to choice 190-250 pounds heavier weights 26.25; lighter weights stock pigs $20-24; sows, 400 pounds and down, heavier sows $19-21; stags $17.

MURRAY TAKES SELF. HIS WIFE OUT OF RACES his proposal could prevent drouths 'such as the one which wrecked Oklahoma agriculture in 1952 and 1953. He declared he will spend the remaining 11 months of his 'administration to put it into effect. A state committee of about 20 persons would be appointed to set up the studies of water needs, highways and any other state problems needing longrange planning. His water proposal, which could easily mean millions of dollars of profit for Oklahoma farmers, businessmen and citizens, was the basis of his statement.

"A study of topography or elevations has revealed it is possible to combine the engineering principles of pumping, inverted siphon, open canal, gravity flow and low cost power into a practical water project which can economically make water from Northeastern Oklahoma useable in the vinicity of Miami, Bartlesville, Pawhuska, Ponca City, Enid, Oklahoma City, Chickasha, Anadarko, Lawton, Ardmore and all communities and rich valleys within that great circle," he said, "Likewise it is possible and practical to bring water from Texoma and the southeast back around that great circle if it is desired along a reverse grade so line." He held out the hope that atomic power could eventually make water available to the westernmost counties of the Panhandle. "This proposed solution is tremendous in its conception. I can visualize a veritable Garden of Eden in the heartland of our great nation. Vast new industries would spring up because we had unlimited water, mineral resources, gas, power and labor. These industries will be protected from atomic attack by vast stretches of water and 1-defended country." Murray said the plan "sounds like a fairy tale or a dream, but it can be done." He said he was placing personal ambitions secondary to his hopes for such a plan.

Murray also called for a non-partisan approach to the studies. Seven groups were named by Murray to be represented on the planning committee. Included would be labor, industry, schools, press, legislators, county commissioners and the old age group. Detailed routes of his water channels were: 1. From Tenkiller Ferry reservoir by conduit directly west to Oklahoma City.

2. From Tenkiller by pump and gravity to a point south of Muskogee, west to near Okmulgee and from there to Kellyville, Stroud, Agra, near Guthrie and Oklahoma City. 3. From Tenkiller by conduit to northwest of Haskell, north to Catoosa, northwest to Sperry than by conduit and gravity to Fairfax, Ponca City, Pond Creek, near Enid then south to Dover, Bethany and Oklahoma Citv. 4.

From Tenkiller by pump and gravity to Tahlequah, Spavinaw, near Vinita, north to the Kansas state line west of Commerce, west to a point north of Bartlesville, south to Pawhuska, Fairfax then along the same route as the preceding proposal. 5. Lake Texoma to Marietta, Ringling then north through Healdton, Ratliff City, Lindsay, Newcastle and Oklahoma City. No indication was made which plan would be adopted first, or concerning the cost of any of them. Murray proposed a statewide committee of about 21 persons representing seven grouns of citizens to study state needs.

Groups to be represented are labor, industry, schools, press, legislators, county commissioners and old age pensioners. The governor said the new group would renlace his former Governor's Reorganization committee, He criticized the old groun for being under political pressure.
