Memler, District 2 engineer of the Illinois Division of Highways, allowed himself that observation during a progress report today on planned federal interstate highway commission construction south of Rock Island and Moline. I Said Memler: "As a matter of fact, we think your new highways will be better than the tollway from Chicago to Rockford. 1 He based the forecasts 'on the ability of road builders of the fu- made during the rapid construction of the tollway system. Start Next Year Progress of work-in connection with the federal interstate east and west of Highway 150 has been satisfactory, according to the spokesman. "We are now buying rights-of-way along the south bank of the river, negotiating for additional parcels and appraising others.

Memler said construction should begin as planned early nexj year. Memler said his office probably proper will open Sunday. Pictured above, left to right, are Williatn Covemaker, Jack Litvin, George Mowder, George Shoemaker, secretary Arthur Beaman, Charles Poppenheimer, executive director and Thomas McGill, president. PLAN PARADE OF HOMES Directors of the Quad-City Association of Home Builders last night perfected final plans for their 10th annual "Parade of Homes. The opening event will be a truck parade Saturday which will tour the Quad-Cities.

The "Parade Auditors Urge To Modernize Certification by the state electoral board of the official ballot to be used by Rock Island County voters in the general election on Nov. 4 was received today by Harold Johnson. county clerk. Qualified residents will vote on a proposed amendment to the Banking Act as provided by House Bill 296 of the 70th General Assembly and on the following list of candidates nominated for Ask Check on Dakotan in Holdup Death DAVENPORT Davenport, thorities are checking with Rochester, police to determine if a man sentenced yesterday to 25 years in prison on armed robbery charges may have been implicated in a murder. Joseph George Sahlie, 35, of Letcher, S.D., was sentenced in Scott County District Court in connection with the armed robbery of two taverns lasir month.

Rochester authrities requested a check on Sahlies activities Aug. 29, the day a service station operator was fatally shot during a holdup. Sahlie was picked up in Davenport by off-duty Detective John Brennan about p.m. The Rochester slaying was reported early in the day. Sahlie told Davenport detectives he was in Indiana at the time and listed several places wjiere he stayed.

Police jare checking his story. Meanwhile, Davenport detectives said Sahlie has admitted robberies in three other states. They include: Barney's Liquor Store, Huren, S.D., netting, him $60; a service station in St. Cloud, Aug. 25, $100, and a motel, Aug.

He said appraisals and 'negotiations for property, which must be taken up to make way for the controlled access thoroughfare, would be the next step. Asked whether the interstate spur, linking Highway 6 with the Bettendorf to Moline Bridge, will be sent through 'Oak wood Country Club as previously announced, Memler said "Were still working on that.

He declined to comment on a rumor that the short run superway would be shifted to void entirely the clubs golf course. Speculation over the May 9 announcement that the golf club would be doomed has led to a number of reported compromises, none of which has been officially affirmed. The state division has widened the scope of highway building plans for the Rock Island-Henry County rural sections. Memler said surveyors have started to take sightings on the route of the federal interstate from near Rapids City south to Briar Bluff. Oval Pattern In brief review: The federally-financed superhighway will, when completed, de scribe an oval around the Quad-Cities.

The belt line will be closed at either end by new bridges over the Mississippi River, one.et Le-Claire, the other near the confluence of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers. The two arcs, one north of Davenport, the other south of Illinois Quad-Cities, will be joined by the spur which will parallel Highway 150 and use the twin-span Bettendorf to Moline Bridge to cross the river. Eventually, the oval wilf be spliced by the interstate freeway joining Chicago withj the Quad-Cities. Another finger of the nation-wide freeway system will probe south into Illinois from the local district. DAVENPORT Modernization of Davenports accounting system was urged today by auditors in their annual report of the city's finances.

Rock Island County States Bernard J. Moran who is also treasurer of PSBC, said this morning. Moran said a letter, announcing that withdrawal, would be mailed tomorrow to the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC opens pretrial hearings on the applications Sept. 11, and the formal hearings begin Oct.

1 in Washington. Originally, eighjt applications were filed. However, KSTT Telecast Co. since has announced it would withdraw. Moran said his group is withdrawing from the race to get the license because 40 per cent of the stock in PSBC is owned by Cedar Rapids WMT.

The telecasting area covered by WMT and the area which would be covered by the new TV station here would overlap in the areas, he said. A policy of the FCC dictates that the commission will not permit the same interests to own either wholly or partially, television stations which overlap in the ares. Such a area is on the outer, fringe of the telecasting area.

Red China- (Continued From Page One) that' is, if1- the Nationalist Gen.

Chiang Kai-shek's forces could not handle it by themselves. Dulles stated the U.S. 'position at a jammed news conference attended by some 70 reporters and TV-radio people in a room only a few feet from the Presidents office. Dulles placed before Eisenhower an appeal by Asiatic allies that the United States plecfge itself to fight any Chinese Communist invasion of Quemoy. Diplomats representing seven Manila Pact countries are understood to have urged this action.

Those nations are Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Pakistan and Thailand. The United States already is bound by treaty to help defend the main Chiang Kai-shek bastions Formosa and the nearby Pescadores. But Congress has given Eisenhower discretion whether such defense calls for fighting too for Quemoy, Matsu and other smaller islands held by the Nationalists. U.S. policy for months has been to keep the Reds guessing.

Eisenhower is reported considering an indirect appeal to the Peiping government-to renounce use of force in the Far East crisis except in self-defense. Most U.S. officials clung to their belief the Red Chinese were bluffing in threats to invade Quemoy. But they seemed loss certain than they were two weeks ago. Dulles spent much ot Wednesday in Washington discussing the Far Eastern both, with diplomats and with military men.

One of the conferences included Secretary of Defense McElroy; Undersecretary Donald A. Quarles; and Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Dulles sought their-views on the situation.

This country is bound by treaty to help defend Formosa and the nearby Pescadores. Congress left it to Eisenhower to decide whether successful defense of the main island requires fighting, too, for the offshore territories. "Any attempt on the part of the Chinese Communists now to seize these positions (the offshore islands) or any of them would be a crude violation of the principles upon which world order is based, namely, that no country should use armed force to seize new territory, Dulles said. The statement today went much further than ever in making it clear to the Reds that the Nationalists can count on American armed forces if Eisenhower concludes they need such help. One official here said today's declaration does not represent any change in basic policy.

He added it reflects implementation of existing policy in the light of current events. At the background news conference, the word was that no new U. S. help on the way to the Nationalists at the momenj would be used in actual combat unless Eisenhower so ordered.

Henson said Abe Green, Detroit real estate man and one of the backers of the development company, gave Fitzgerald a $35,000 cashiers check, but that' the payment never was recorded in any books or records, and never was mentioned in the official records of the welfare fund. Henson, a committee staff member, said the loan came from welfare fund of the Michigan Confer-' ence of Teamsters. The commit-! tee previously had called it a loan by the Central Conference of Teamsters. The money was to finance a land development plan of the Winchester Village Land on a tract near Flint, Mich.

The 45-lnile project, costing 31 million dollars, will be financed equally from, state and federal funds. The new pavement will generally follow Route 47 and Route 10 west of Champaign. Stratton told a news conference that right-of-way acquisition for the project will be included in the 1959 state highway program.
