Yesterday Taft said in Cinclnnal that the tremendous majority given to Eisenhower' "shows the determination of the people to restore a government believing in American principles of liberty us op posed to the growing bureaucracy and taxation of the so called Fair Deal." "That feeling was intensified by the resentment' against the corrup tion in the Truman administration xnd the pro-Communist foreign which built up Russia brought about the Korean he declared.

(ConttaiMd fcea Judge White nld that the county would have only the revenue turned back from the lor road work, ami that amounts to about MO.000 per year. In comparison, said, the average expenditure for road and bridge construction and maintenance over the past five years haa been approximately $160,000.

Thua, the county will be forced to dla- continue all road and bridge construction and concentrate on maintaining existing roads with funds that become available. Cities In the county will also be cut back, the judge said, because they ordinarily receive a portion ol the three mill tax revenues. In the break-down of these funds, he said that the county got about 000. Blythevllle about Osceola about and lesser amounts to Manila, Leachville and other cities. The three-mill county road tax was authorized In Amendment 3 to the state amendment was proposed by the General Assembly March 15, 1887, After ke- Ing approved by the voters, it was declared adopted Jan.

13, 1899 and so proclaimed by the governor. Musi lit. Vottrt On The vote approving Amendment 3 was 57,200 to 24.079. Amendment 3 permits a county court to levy the three-mill tax In addition to the five-mill county general tax. The Ihrec-mlll tax may be used only for road and bridge construction and maintenance, and must be approved by the voters.

Tills approval must be obtained every two years at each general election of state and county officers. Puloskl County found Itself in a slmllnr position two years ago when voters defeated the levy there, The county went for the past two ycnrs without this source of ronri revenue. The vote on the road tax had been close from the time the first boxes reported. Late It led by only about 40 votes when the Driver returns cam'e In and completely reversed the score. The Driver voters had snowed under the lax by an unofficial total of 406 to 9.

Blythevllle voters, with exception of those in Wnrd Two. voted against the tax, did voters in two Osceola and two Manila wards.

Eisenhowers' personal Idea for a beginning is to go to Korea himself to siudy the situation there and search for a solution.

He put this In the form of a pledge during his campaign and repeated It several times. He told Truman yesterday that he'Intends to notify "the secretary of defense the earliest possible notice of my proposed date of departure," Meanwhile, the general Is simply taking It easy. He has Mamie with him at the golf club. His daughter-in-law. Mrs.

John Eisenhower and her three children, Dwlght David, 4, Barbara Anne. 3, 'and Susan, 9 months, an'd Mrs. J. S. Doud, his mother-in-law, ere also here.

Secret Service on Hand There are some new members of his entourage too. Secret Service agents who are now charged with the responsibility for his safety moved In on the golf course before Eisenhower and his family even arrived. Other agents were on hand In New York almost as soon as his election was confirmed. Some rode with him on the lllght to Georgia. Eisenhower's arrival in Augusta was a carbon copy of the hundreds ol appearances he made while he was fighting for the presidency.

About 1,500 persons were at the airport and gave him a warm cheer when he appeared in the door of the plane. Eisenhower hands all around with the same warmth he showed during the campaign, waved to the crowd, and went immediately to the motorcade waiting to take him to the golf club.
