(UPI)-Eighteen states are now trying out thump less roads new, super smooth highways that eliminate the "double thumps" for motor ists and minimize highway maintenance costs. Called CRCP for "continously reinforced concrete pavement," the new jointless roadway is made by placing overlapping high-strength steel reinforcing bars about mid-depth in the concrete. The number of miles of CRCP road in the United States has almost doubled annually for the last three years and, as of October, 1,237 miles were in use or under contract. A CRCP highway permits use of a slightly thinner pavement slab than needed for a conven tional jointed highway, accord ing to D. C. Greer, highway engineer of the Texas Highway Department, a leader in CRCP use. Experience in Texas indi cates the new method increases pavement life and reduces main tenance, Greer says. Because the concrete is held in a grip of steel throughout its length, these new roads don't need the contraction-expansion joints found in conventional co crete roads. It is these joints that cause the annoying "thumps" in conventional con crete pavement. These joints enlarge in the winter, due to contraction of the concrete and they must sub sequently be filled in with as phalt. In summer when the pavement expands, the asphalt may be forced out, creating bumps. The "double thumps" result when a car's front and rear wheels pass rapidly over the bumps. CRCP roads are in use In In diana, Illinois, New Jersey, Cali fornia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland, Mississippi Maine, Wisconsin, North Dakota Connecticut, Iowa, Oregon, South Dakota, Minnesota and Rhode Island. More are under design in Illinois, Michigan, Mississip pi, Texas, Wisconsin, North Da kota, Virginia and Ohio.

Nixon's Availability May Be Tested in Oregon's Primary D 5 By ZAX STARK United Press International SALEM, Ore. (UPI)-Richard Nixon's availability for the 1964 Republican presidential nomina tion may be put to the test in Oregon. The former vice president probably will be listed on the Oregon presidential primary ballot. The possibility adds spice to the politically important Oregon election and could have im pact on New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary. Under Oregon's unique elec tion law, the Secretary of State lists whoever he finds "general ly advocated in national news media" on the presidential pri mary ballot. Added Zest The Secretary of State doesn't ask the prospective candidate if he wants to be listed, and the candidate has but 72 hours in which to file an affidavit de claring he "is not and does not intend to become" a candidate. Adding zest to the Oregon primary list is the fact it will be announced March 6, just four days before the New Hampshire primary. Sergeant Defects To East Germany BERLIN (UPI)-A U.S. Ar my sergeant has defected to Communist East Germany and asked for political asylum, the East German news agency ADN said Tuesday. The official Communist agen cy identified the sergeant as James Carl Moore of the U.S. Third Armored Division at Gelnhausen, near Frankfurt in West Germany. At Heidelberg, a U.S. Army spokesman said the ADN report was being investigated. The spokesman said he knew of no such defection. Disavowal statements must be filed by March 9 the day before the New Hampshire vote. Oregon Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr., a Republi can, isn't saying who's going to be on the list. But it seems certain that Nix on, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, and Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater will top the list. Nixon, who missed the White House in 1960 by only 119,000 votes, won the Oregon primary, and carried the state in the general election. At the Western Republican Conference, held in Oregon last month (Oct. 10-13), both Gold water and Rockefeller said they thought Nixon was a contender for the GOP nomination. Hatfield Out Oregon's Gov. Mark Hatfield, mentioned both as a GOP vice presidential hopeful and presi dential dark horse, says he will not allow his name to be placed on the Oregon primary ballot. Hatfield expects to be a dele gate to the national convention. In Oregon, delegates are elect ed and required to back the winner of the state's primary. Hatfield used the Western Re publican Conference as a plat form to invite all GOP hopefuls to enter the May 15 Oregon pri mary "to try the track for time and distance." He said "any candidate who is successful in Oregon gains additional momentum to carry him into the California primary a few weeks later and into the convention itself." Hatfield is following a policy of neutrality. Because he is required to back the Oregon primary win ner, the bigger field, the strong er Hatfield's position becomes. And having Nixon In the Ore gon race could solve Hatfield's dilemma the Oregon primary could reveal whether the for mer vice president still has vot er appeal. It was Hatfield who nominal- ed Nixon at the 1960 GOP na tional convention. 1(1 I Heard the Bells of 0 on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and swoet The words repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to menl . . longfelow CHRISTMAS, GIVE THE PRECIOUS GIFT BETTER HEARING.
