Commissioner C. A. Hasty
told The Daily Record to

on the new Highway 301 by

the public for travel.
He said there was little chance
of opening the highway for travel
before toe end of 1958 or early in
1957.
Mr. Hasty made the announce

McCarthy Urges
Loyal Citizens
To Join GOP
CHARLESTON, W. Va.
(IP) Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy Thursday night,
invited Democrats who.
are “loyal Americans” to
join the Republicans and
escape the “iodiocy,” “rot”
and deceit of their oton.
party.
The Wisconsin senator began a
transcontinental tour with a Lin
coln Day speech here which was
the first of nine he will deliver
within eight days. He speaks to
night at Canton, Ohio.
Democratic leaders here, at Can
ton and In other cities on his itin
erary were armed with “trutn

tic National Committee in an ef
fort to meet his anticipated char
ges head-on with “facts.”
The ■ national committee an
nounced in Washington today that
- the “truth kits”—including a 16-
page “fact sheet” and two articles
from the Democratic Digest were
prepared because McCarthy tends
to be “cdnsiderably more careless
with the truth" when he goes on
tour.

The Democratic strategy re

the 1952 presidential campaign.
The squad trailed former Presi
dent Harry 8. Truman on his
whistle-stop tour, holding news
conferences or making speeches to
answer his assertions.
McCarthy told his audience
Thursday night that the label
“Democrat” is “stitched with the
lodiocy of a Truman, rotted by
the deceit of an Acheson, corrupted
by the Red slime of a White.”
BLOOD OF DYING MEN
Those who wear the label, he
said, “wear it. with the stain of a
historic betray el; wear it with the
corrosion of unprecedented cor
ruption; wear it with the blood of
dying men who crawled up the
hills of Korea while the politicises
in the Democratic Party wrote Invi
tations to the Communists to join
them at the United Nations.”
McCarthy said the ‘‘mßllons of
loyal Americans” who voted Dem
ocratic “do not even remotely de
serve this label.”
“They deserve something far
better than this. They can get
something far better by joining toe
Republican Party,” he said.
The Wisconsin Republican said
his party would lead the nation
“back to religious ethics of hon
esty and loyalty.”
His references Jp “Idiocy,” “rot”
and '‘slime” were directed at Tru
man, former Secretary of State
Dean Acheson, and toe late Harr/
Dexter White, a former Treasury

CHICAGO Hi - Animal lover
Irene Castle, one-tong darting of
Broadway stage, today offered to
let a mad dog kite her to save her
four-footed friends from the pain
and danger of hypodermic needle.
The state of Illinois ordered ev
ery dog and cat in Chicago inocu
lated against rabies in an unpre
cedented step to halt an epidemic
of the disease that has killed one
child and seen severs- mass attacks
by slavering dogs.
Meanwhile, deg pounds were fill
ing up and officials said they may
have to start destroying strays in
wholesale lots to make room for
oew confer* • . -
Miss Castle, who is now Mrs.
George Ensinger and operates the
famous “orphans of toe storm” an
imal shelter at nearby Deerfield,
111., said “Inoculations would para
lyze toe hind legs of dogs.”
She offered to put up $5)000 and
challenged, “no one can prove that
a person bitten by a rabid dog
ever died as a result.”
“She would most certainly die,”
said Chicago Health Board Pres
ident Dr. Herman Bund«*en.
“Well, frhy don’t they Ist me do
it, then,” she answered.
Her statements about rabies were
not supported by medical opinion.
It Is considered ofie of the most
virulent of diseases, is always fatal
after incubation and is accompan
ied by Incredible suffering.

which she said took m an average

"I’ve been bitten by dogs foam

yet,” she said. Miss Castle stipu
lated that toe dog bites her must
not have received anti-rabies vac

Dulles Rejects
Molotov's Plan
In Strong Terms
BERLIN (IP) The UnitedL
States today accused Russia *
of attempting, in the Big
Four foreign ministers’ con
ference, to push the Soviet
sph ere frontier westward
from the Elbe to the Rhine
River.
That, Soviet Foreign Minister V.
M. Molotov was told, was the West’s
reaction to the Kremlin blueprint
he presented yesterday for reunit
ing Germany.
Molotov, In yesterday’s discourag
ing conference session, rejectedihe
West’s proposals for free all-Gee--,.
man elections as a first step to
ward reuniting the divided country.
Instead, Molotov proposed forma
tion of a provisional a 11-German
government before elections are
held, and withdrawal of all occu
pation troops prior to the elections.
This, the West said, would be the
equivalent of an Invitation to the
Communists to gobble up all Ger
many.
U. S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, speaking for toe
West, made a slashing denunciation
of the “Molotov plan."
“In the name of peace," Dulles
said, "Molotov proposes a method
of extending the solid Soviet bloc
to the Rhine. In toe name of
what he calls democracy, he has set .
, forth the classic Communist pat
l tern for extinguishing damoeracy w- 1
that word has been understood for
2,000 years."
Today’s meeting was convritod
amidst growing evidence that toe
ministers are hopelessly deadlock
ed on the German; issue.
“If the Molotov plan were ac
cepted it would mead, that anyone
who dares to express the
doubt concerning commtuSsm is
automatically deemed a Fascist or a
, militarist or s monopolist,” Dulles
r said.
t “If this system were to be ap
-5 plied, no organization opposing the
Communists or toe policies of the
. Soviet Communists, which are toe
„ same thing, would be permitted* to
e take part in the election, It -vdfld
, only be the Communist Party and
t the Communist front organizations
1 which, under Mr. Molotov's plan,
would participate in the eldqtto)*."
