Acting Chairman H. Alexander Smith summoned the group to a closed Saturday session to take up other portions of the multi-billion-dollar measure which the committee yesterday said could be slashed $347,708.000 without harming the cold war aims.

The latest outcry involves a proposed spur of the still-to-be- completed New York Buffalo superhighway. Local residents have labelled the spur the to supposed to run from the Hudson river bridge at South Nyack, in Rockland county, to the New Jersey border, a five- mile link. Present plans, according to protesting local residents, call for the spur to follow the old Erie Railroad route along the steep side of the west bank through Grand View and adjoining Piermont. The road, the residents say, will add at least 42 homos to the some 300 already gobbled up in Rockland by the thruway, cut the value of 200 more which will find themselves at the edge, take two million dollars off county tax rolls, bisect Grand View and nearby Piermont school districts and generally destroy the zealously guarded scenic beauty of a heretofore residential community nestling on the Hudson river escarpment. Virtually Erased Grand View itself, a village only 600 feet wide and miles long, will be virtually erased by a six-lane superhighway, it is claimed.

Urges Full Support hope you will do he urged. As far as candidacy is concerned, he has been endorsed by Republican groups in various parts of his district including Ulster, Sullivan, Greene and Delaware counties.

Congressman J. Ernest Wharton, Richmondville, has been endorsed by the congressional convention. Both were expected to get the sanction of the county convention as well as Assemblyman Kenneth L.

As our first official act, let us lift our hearts in thanks to Almighty God for permitting us to live in this land where we can peacefully assemble and freely elect those in we would entrust the responsibilities of public office; to recommend such candidates to our party and then to offer them as our candidates to the free voters of Ulster county on next Election Day. How casually we accept this priceless privilege of selecting our public officials and yet how ardently millions of enslaved peoples throughout the world are yearning for this very right which we so blithely accept! What a welcome change would occur in this strife-torn world if all peoples everywhere were permitted to hold free elections like we do and select the leaders of their choice! So I repeat: Let us thank God that we live in America and that our country still remains free. Lauds National Administration We should be thankful, too, that we have a Republican administration in Washington. Despite many handicaps left behind by the New Deal and the Fair Deal, the Eisenhower administration is making considerable progress in re-establishing orderly government, reducing taxes and federal expenditures, weeding out subversives and incompetents and restoring faith and confidence in the national government.

The course of events and the progress made have not pleased everyone. No President ever satisfies everybody. It must be remembered, however, that the accumulation of 20 years of mismanagement in Washington cannot be rectified over night. In fact, some of the blunders made by the New and Fair Deals in the field of foreign policy will never be rectified because territories and other advantages were given to the masters of the Kremlin which cannot now be recovered for the free world short of another war. Ended Korean War There is one great accomplishment of the Eisenhower administration which all Americans will remember with gratitude.

The Eisenhower administration brought an end to the Koreap war, which had killed 40,000 American boys and had brought suffering and torture to thousands more and was costing us billions of dollars. The Republican party today is recognized as a peace party. The Republican party can continue national prosperity without depending upon a war to do it. I am confident that as the days pass we will all gain a growing understanding and appreciation of the skillful and statesmanlike manner in which our national Republican administration has guided our nation from a war to a peace-time economy with ohly minor and spotty dislocations and while maintaining a high Tevel of national income and with no impairment of the American standard of living. This is indeed a major accomplishment and one that our people will not soon forget.

So far as our state government is concerned, I think we can all agree that, regardless of any other considerations, the Republican State Convention has continued to give the people of the State of New York a sound and business-like administration. Despite increased costs for labor, materials and equipment, states taxes have not been increased since the Republican party assumed control of the state in 1942. This is, indeed, a commendable record and one that can be matched by few, if any, other states.
