C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 28, 1953 Senate Probes Arms Situation l Backing Bohlen WASHINGTON OB Sen- ! ate Republican leader Robert A: Taft said today President S Eisenhower Is standing firm . on his nomination of Char- " les E. Bohlen as ambassador to Russia which went before the Senate today. Taft predicted after a meeting with Mr. Eisenhower that Boblen., will be confirmed by a decisive vote. Taft and Chairman Alexander Wiley of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee talked for 30 minutes with Mr. Eisenhower on the Bohlen matter after his regular Monday morning meeting with leg islative leaders. Taft said debate on the nomina tion might put off the vote until tomorrow or Wednesday. “We discussed all phases of the Bohlen nomination,” Taft said. “We are going right ahead.” NO MORE HEARING Taft said he did not think Senate committee hearings would be re opened to hear from the Department security officer. Some senators have demanded that he be called on the grounds that he, un like Secretary of Btate>John Foster Dulles, refused to give security clearance to Bohlen. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent th? nomination to the floor with a 15-0 v&te of ap proval. The Senate rarely, if evet, has overridden such an over whelming committee recommen dation.

Better Beware: Don't Drive At 45 On Highways Harnett Coroner Orovfr C. Hen derson is convinced that 45 miles an hour Is absolutely the most dan gerous speed on the highways. No doubt about it—practically all fatalities pccur at only 45 miles an hgpr, Or so, that’s the figure near ly, always given by'the death car drivers. , Just for example, two fatalities occurred In Harnett during the weekend. Both drivers, of course, were going only 45 miles an hour— they said.
