ASPHALT sidewalks Sidewalks laid twenty or more years ago are now beginning to give up, he pointed out, and many communities are now faced with this problem. He told of a test side walk recehtly laid in Leaksville, that was much cheaper than con crete. These asphalt walks, he said, would also take tree roots, the cause of many concrete walks breaking down, much better than the concrete. The increase in filling stations, had presented another problem. Franklin said and the league was now working toward a standard for commercial driveways. Where the curb is removed at an intersection, he pointed out motorists try to jump the light by cutting the corner. “This can be extremely dangerous,” he said, “and this condition should be el iminated hy an island at the cor ner.

Eisenhower was expected tc give his decision today on whether he will drop Sen. Richard M. Nixon from the Republican ticket. The Republican presidential nom inee talked to his running mate by long distance telephone for about 20 minutes early today, but withheld comment as to whether he kicked N(xon off the ticket and out of the campaign. James C. Hagerty, the general’s press secretary, said the call was initiated by Eisenhower and the two talked 15 or 20 minutes. He refused any further details. Evidently, Eisenhower talked to Nixon about the California sena tor’s controversial $18,235 political expense fund and whatever he said must have had a profound effect on Nixon. The young senator announced to newsmen in Portland a little after the phone call that he was inter rupting his Western campaign tour and flying to Los Angeles to make a nationwide television appearance to explain the fund. CALLED FROM CAR Eisenhower made the call from his car aboard his special cam paign train in the St. Louis Sta tion where he spent the weekend. He reached Nixon at the Benson Hotel in Portland, Ore., where the senator had been contacted prev iously by a go-between. There was no explanation of the after-midnight call. Hagerty had told reporters, at midafternoon, there was no plan for a conversa tion between the two during the weekend.
