Schroeder of Hoskins introduced a bill today to revise the formula for distributing gasoline tax funds going to the counties. Schroeder's proposal brings in the factor of miles of open road in each county, less the miles of state and federal highway in the county. Gas tax money going to the counties under the mail route graveling act, which Schroeder authorized two years ago, would not be disturbed. Oh Basis of Open Road. Regular gas tax funds going to the counties would be allocated as follows: Ten per cent on the basis of miles of open road (less state and federal highway mileage); 45 per cent on the basis of farm population; 45 per cent on the basis of motor vehicle registration.

Schroeder explained that many counties are virtually excluded from participation in'the ten percent now distributed on the basis of non-rural "This is unfair," he declared. Under the bill he offered today, the ten per cent going to the counties on the basis of non-farm population would be distributed on the basis of miles of road in New A-Bombs Termed Much More Potent Latest Weapons Said Rougher'Than Bikini Bombs.

Seventy-four counties would goin. Lancaster county which received $501,710 last have received only about three-fourths of that amount under the Schroeder proposal. Douglas county, which received $937,517 last year, would have received about two thirds of that amount.

BV FRANK CAREY WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 The United States has new atomic bombs which have much more explosive energy than the, old ones. The Atomic Energy Commission, which has hinted previously that it had developed more powerful weapons than those dropped on Japan or at Bikini, announced it outright today in its fifth semiannual report to congress. And it said "further developments are now in progress." Substantial Gains It related for the first time that the -three weapons tested at Eniwetok atoll last spring demonstrated "a substantial gain in (explosive) energy release 1 over previous models. Chairman David Lilienthal made it clear at a news conference that "as used in this report" the term atomic weapon means "bomb." But he declined comment when asked whether the United States is seeking to obtain atomic weapons other than bombs.

The commission told congress it took steps during 1948 to protect its major plants against sabotage and to provide "for the emergency defense of vital facilities against attack." But it said "production and improvement of atomic weapons' has continued to receive its major attention. And in that department it reported "important advances' making atomic materials am weapons, as well as in developing new designs. Reporting an "expansion and improvement all along the atomic energy development chain from the mines to the ultimate use made of fissionable material," the commission said: "By the year's end the States atomic energy program had attained a momentum which if sustained, the commission be lieves will maintain and increase the naton's lead in atomic energy development. And the commission hinted at details undisclosed in the 212 page report, commenting: "(The report) is prepared against a background of world affairs which makes it necessary for the American people to maintain self-imposed restraints on the dissemination of a vast amount of data acquired since the beginning of the atomic energy enterprise in 1939."

Truman Ready To Meet Stalin In Washington Associated Press The White house repeated today that President Truman is willing to meet Premier Stalin in Washington.

Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross first told a news conference he had no comment on Stalin's assertion that he had "no objection" to meeting Mr. Truman at some mutually acceptable place. A reporter then asked if the George R. Thuman, Ex-Clatonian, Dies Mrs.

(The Sum's Own Service) destroyed the kitchen and bathroom at the Rudolph Duis farm home, two miles south and two and a quarter miles west of here, Sunday morning. Both Odell arid Diller volunteer firemen, all available water, prevented further damage. It was the second fire, at the Duis home in recent months.

Ross said the last word on the subject was given by Mr. Truman at a recent presidential news conference. At that time, Mr. Truman repeated what he said many he would be happy to meet with Premier Stalin in Ross 'emphasized that there has been "no official word from the Russian government" regarding such a meeting. Prime Minister Stalin had yesterday expressed willingness to discuss American-Russian "peace pact" with the president at a mutually acceptable place.

The Russian leader also said- ihe Soviet government would be willing to discuss a Joint declaration of peaceful intentions and gradual disarmament. (Stalin has said previously that he would be willing to meet with Mr. Truman. The president, In turn, has offered to meet with Stalin any time the Soviet leaders will come to Washington. Officials in Washington pointed out, however, that there hns been no official approach tor such a meeting.) Sees No Obstacles.

In answer to a series of four questions, Stalin also said no obstacles" to lifting the Berlin blockade if the west- tern powers meet two conditions. One would be postponement of the establishment of a Western German state pending a meeting fo the Big- Four council of foreign ministers on the entire German issue. The other would be lifting of the allied counter blockade. (The offer to lift the Berlin blockade if the -allies first: meet in the foreign ministers council also has been made previously.

A proposal advanced in last fall's TT. N. Security Council meeting of the foreign ministers 10 davg later wag vetoed by the Soviet's Andrei Y. Vishinsky. Stalin's statements answered ouestions submitted by Kingsbury Smith, general European director of International News Service.

The statements followed by two days a Soviet-34-page white paper asserting the projected North American pact is intended to set up American-British world domination by force. (World capitals studied Stalin's statements in the light of what has appeared to be a recent "peace offensive" by Russia, and Communists in other countries. The recent Communist line has been to insist Russia wanes peace, while charging the U. S. in particular with aggressive alms.

Official comment from the west has been that the Russians words mean little unless they are backed with acts demonstrating her peaceful intentions.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 31 A giant airliner, gashed open by a small private plane in a collision 4,000 feet in the air, made a safe emergency landing yesterday with load of 33 persons uninjured. The two men in the private plane were killed, alhd one body and pieces of the shattered craft showered down on Long Island.

The engine and front part of the private plane, the body of one of its occupants and. part of the body of the other were imbedded in a jagged hole in the top of the four-engined Pan American world airways Constellation. The planes crashed over Port Washington, N. and Captain George Knuth skillfully landed the battered Constellation at Mitchell field, about ten 'miles away. Captain Knuth said credit for the safe landing "must go to the discipline, training and coordinated efforts of the crew members." Knuth, a resident of Huntington Station, N.

joined Pan American world airways in 1941 as a co-pilot. He is married to the former Elizabeth Kennedy, of Oelwein, Iowa. In Bargaining Labor Secretary Vows Taft Law Fa-, vors Public Interest. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin went to congress today and urged that the Taft-Hartley act be replaced by a law "encouraging free collective bargaining." He told the senate labor committee in a prepared state ment that the administration's labor bill would encourage it.

When labor and management are "assured once again" that this is our national labor policy, Tobin said, "they will, I feel sure, comply with the procedures provided in the bill." Assails Taft Clause The administration's unveiled wipe out most of the Taft-Hartley law and substitute something closer to the Wagner act of 1935. Tobin said the Taft-Hartley law of 1947 "deals with collective bargaining as if it is inimical to the public interest instead of the foundation of our national labor policy." He also said this law ha; "brought confusion" into the field of labor relations and has "un necessarily limited the rights of workers to strike." After this assault, Tobin argued that the administration bill "re gulates collective bargaining only where restraints are needed, anc practicable." Seeks Closer Relations He said the bill "seeks to de velop a system of labor relation under which both labor and mana gement, which the friendly assistance of government, can live together and solve their own problems." Tobin defended the bill's proposed transfer of the United States cpncilation sendee, now in depend? ent, into the labor department. Replying in advance to the contention that the service could not be impartial as a part of the labor department, Tobin said: "I cannot state too strongly that as secretary of labor, consider myself to represent the more than 140,000,000 American people and every segment of our economy."
