(Hopewell Bureau)' In a further effort to assit the Tri-City Coach Company in providing better bus service to Hopewell, the Traffic Commission, at its meeting yesterday afternoon, approved two new stops in the business area.

The commission denied a request for a relocation of the terminus of the Tri-City line on the grounds that the spot wanted by the company would create additional traffic congestion. The new stops will be located on the east side of Hopewell tween Broadway and Cawson St. and on the. north side of Cawson between Main and Hopewell Sts. Howard D.

Brown, owner of the company, had asked that the terminus, be moved from Main and LaPrade Sts. to the west side of Main between Poythress and Broadway. This is in the center of the Main area and is considered too hazardous from a traffic standpoint. City Manager Levin D. James said today that some other downtown location for the terminus may be possible.

At the last meeting of the city council, it was agreed that the bus company operate two routes inside the city, instead of the single route now running, that the bus cover the 'two areas on an alternate basis. This would give all sections an hourly bus service. Brown wanted the interurban stop moved so' that better interchange with the local bus could be effected. While the commission sympathized with the plan, the spot picked was not considered as the rightjme for the purpose. "The" new routing will be tried on a 60-day basis.

If at. the. end of 60 days it is proving satisfactory, it probably will be made permanent. If it still is not producing enough revenue to keep the Hopewell service in operation other arrangements will have to be made, Brown told the council. On its present route, the local bus is losing 20 cents a mile on operations.

Brown pointed out that it will be impossible to continue service on such a basis. He said his company wishes to keep some service in Hopewell but that a more lucrative business will have to be developed in order to do so. Pre-Trial Licks (Continued From Page One) selves the target of a shakedown attempt by a shopkeeper who had posed as their friend. Fukuju 34, promoter of a "forgive Girard" campaign and identified by police as a paroled extortioner, demanded two million yen ($5,500) as "condolence money" for the family of the Japanese woman the 21-year-old GI is accused of killing Jan. 30.

The demand was lodged with the bride, Mrs. Ham (Candy) Girard, 27, less than three hours after she had filed at the U. S. Embassy--in' Tokyo the papers which made her Girard's wife under Japan's laws. -Looking forward to -their real marriage Friday when they kneel at the white chapel hi this U.

S. Army base, Candy found Shimizu waiting for her when she returned from Tokyo to her home village. Shaken and in tears, she told newsmen of the encounter: "He told me 'The people of Somagahara are angry at you for marrying Girard. You must pay two million yen condolence money Mr. Akikichi Sakai." Sakai is the husband of the 46- year-old scrapmetal scavenger killed by an empty cartridge case fired from a grenade launcher on the U.

S. firing range near Soma- gahara. The weeping girl said she was in -an-embarrassing position because she felt indebted to Shimizu "for asking the Japanese to help my man."

Arms Program (Continued From Page One) he considered Communist oppression, a "passing phase" in China.

He had related this to be the problem of U. S. recognition of Red China, which he rejected as out of the question under present con ditions. On the same theme, Dulles said today he thought changes in Russia toward greater internal freedom would be evolutionary whereas in China there are more elements of a revolutionary nature. He said he would not put a (ime limit on his prediction toward either country, -one year, or five years, or 10 years.

In response to a question, he said he certainly thought the descendents of Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev would live under a system of freedom. Khrushchev predicted a few weeks that President Eisenhower's grandchildren would live under communism in the United States. Dulles divorced the internal policies of Russia and Red China from the recognition issue in discussing the matter today. The test for recognition, he said, is one of respectabilityin international con- duct, not of internal Measurements of Red Chinese Dulles said, include such things as treatment of American's--six U.
