The state and federal govern-
ments have approved allocation of
funds' to the Abilene district for
this construction—to cost state and
federal road agencies more than 83
million in Taylor and Callahan
counties. Callahan county has al-
ready voted $150,000 in road bonds
for purchase of right-of-way across
that county.
“Abilene is one of the first cities
given an allocation for this kind of
project." J. C. Penrod, Phillips Pe-
troleum Co. district agent here and
strong backer of the highway pro-
gram. declared. “Other cities are
begging for the funds, and the
highway department has indicated
it will divert the money allocated
here elsewhere, unless right-of-way
is provided by the county ... If
we should by any chance fail to
vote the bonds, we won’t get an-
other chance for nine or ten years.”
S. J. Treadaway, district high-
way engineer, confirmed that the
money is to be used elsewhere un-
less Abilene provides the neces-
sary right-of-way.
- County Judge Wiley Caffey
pointed out that the county has
received an extremely good bar-
gain in disposing of its bonds, if
they are voted. The county has con-
tracted with Lockett Shelton, Abi-
lene bond broker, for handling the

Krug, Lewis
Cife Danger
To Workers
WASHINGTON, April 3. (UP)
—Secretary of Interior J. A Krug
today ordered 518 hazardous soft
coal mines closed indefinitely—an
action which will cut production
by one-sixth and retard the steel
industry
Acting in the wake of the Cen-
tralia mine disaster in which 111
miners were killed, Krug also di-
rected that the industry's other 2,-
013 mines remain closed until their
managers certify they are safe
All soft coal mines are closed
this week in a "memorial" shut-
down ordered by President John
I. Lewis of the United Mine Work-
ers (AFL). Krug's action meant
that most, and probably all, of the.
518 "hazardous" mines will re-
main closed after the mourning
period ends at midnight Sunday.
Some of them may never reopen.
Many of the 2,013 other mines also
will remain closed until safety
certificates are issued Most of
these, however, are expected to be
reopened within a week after the
memorial" shutdown ends
As Krug announced the drastic
order, John L Lewis was denounc-
ing him before a house labor sub-
committee in his best style.
Lewis boomed out a thundering
demand that Krug be removed
