Baldock Favors l Tuesday. April 4. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIPUIir - Cut in Spending On New Highways Portland, Ore., Apr. 4 IU.R) R. H. Baldock, Oregon state highway engineer, wants to cut spending on new highway con struction in half and increase work on repairs. Baldock yesterday said he would soon formally recommend to the state highway commis sion that about half the $15, 000.000 spent annually on new highway construction be divert ed to repair and strengthening of existing highways. Much Damage Done The engineer told the com mission that much damage had been done to the state's highways during the last two years. He blamed the damage partly on increased trucking resulting from population influx and part ly on overloading by some operators. Cutting new construction funds in half will not mean half as many miles of new construc tion, but will mean less new road mileage for a given amount of money, Baldock said. He told the commission that along with strengthening old roads, it would be necessary to build new high ways stronger than those built in the past. Crommelin Thinking Of Political Venture Birmingham, Ala., Apr. 4- (U.R) Cant. John G. Crommelin says he has not decided definite ly whether to enter Alabama politics. Crommelin, who was fur- loughed by the navy as a result of his stand on unification, said that at present he is "discuss ing the situation and getting in formation on which to base a decision." Crommelin is considering run ning as an independent in the general election this year against Sen. Lister Hill (D., Ala.). He got interested in the race too late to qualify for the demo cratic primary of May Z. "I have some very big per lonal decisions to make," Crom melin told friends here. "It's complicated also by the fact that I'm on indefinite furlough."
