Thus if the administration had eliough votes, it could bypass the Finance Committee regardless of the way the 15 committeemen stood. Folsom might avoid a showdown by agreeing to a compromise limiting the proposed Highway Cor? poration's borrowing power and cutting the gas tax increase back to one cent.

But he has already turned that down. Administration advisers have cautioned him that once he backs down, he invites further compromises on other issues later.

have to pick up three of the four uncertain members to get the bills out of committe. The opponents (Continued From Page 1) need only two more to block them. No hearings have been set this early, of course, because the bills aren't before the Senate. But if they clear the House Tuesday and get an immediate first reading in the upper chamber, it's a good bet the Finance Committee wuTtake prompt action. Chairman Broughton Lamberth of Tallapoosa is administration floor leader and if the governor wants speedy consideration of his program, he can get it.

Meanwhile, the governor has nearly a week, perhaps more, to persuade doubtful senators that his approach to the need for more highway revenue is the best. Even some of his most outspoken opponents concede that the road program needs fattening and have suggested alternate tax measures to do it. Administration spokesmen say they are confident of Senate passage if the bills get out of conv mittee. And if so, that in itself might tend to force them out.

Alle, Brewton, 2, was fatally injured hen his car overturned on a farm-to-market road near Brewton Friday night. Flames killed i-year-old twins and a 65-year-old-woman when a Mobile apartment building was gutted by fire early Saturday.

Assistant Fire Chief D. A. Melton said the dead were Ray Davis and Fay Davis, the twins, and Mary Porter, all Negroes. Started In Heater Melton said the fire started near a heater in the second story apartment where the twins were sleeping. The woman was in another apartment across the hall.

Two men suffered burns. Police tried in vain to stop a car driven by Claude P. Dudley, 32, Fultondale, before it plowed into a stalled truck and Dudley was fatally hurt. The officers said they were helping the truck driver get the vehicle started after it ran out of gas when Dudley's car smashed into the vehicle. Fire Marshal Aaron Rosenfeld said Grover Southerland, 35, died in another Birmingham fire Friday night.

The marshal said clothing beside his bed caught fire from a cigarette and his house was destroyed as the flames spread. Primitive planes, rather than the new models, have been discovered to be the most practical for farm use, having the necessary slow speeds and low altitudes, and ability to land in small spaces and turn sharply and easily. (Continued From Page 1) Kinnis, 45 and Ray Fife, 33, who were not held. Detective H. K.

Thompson of Houston, said they related in written statements that Washburn, formerly married to Mrs. Weaver's daughter, contacted McKinnis last March, offering him and Fife money to kill Weaver. McKinnis said Washburn gave them a 12-guage shotgun, a .32 caliber pistol and $450. Later, he said, Washburn supplied them a car and more money, and provided information on Weaver's movements in San Angelo. McKinnis said Washburn never told them why he wanted Weaver killed.

Period Of Stalling McKinnis said there was a period of "stalling" Washburn when they were pressed about "the job." Four days before Mrs. Weaver was killed, McKinnis said, Washburn advanced the bomb plan. McKinnis said he rejected this and Washburn said "I'll do it myself, then." McKinnis said that was the last he heard of the plot until the car blew up in San Angelo. Dist. Atty.

Aubrey Stokes of San Angelo termed Mrs. Weaver's death a "mistake killing, no doubt about it." Divorced In 1950 Mrs. Weaver's daughter, now Mrs. Helen Willcockson of Billings, sued for divorce in 1930, and was awarded custody of two children, Gregory Allen, 3, and Margaret Diane, 18 months. Percy Foreman, a Houston at-t representing Washburn, said his client was awarded the children in a later custody suit.

Genuine replacement parts always used. Repair Dept. Main Floor PENSACOLA, Jan. 29 (ff A Louisville Nashville Railroad official said today an estimated 25,000 tons of nitrate of soda which fed a big warehouse fire was worth a million and a half dollars. The blaze burned fiercely for three hours, causing explosions vhich sent debris hundreds of feet in the air and cracked windows a mile away.

It was brought under control late yesterday by 70 city firemen and two Navy fire boats. L. N. Port Manager W. Shi-vell Duncan said, "There was a million and a half dollars worth of stuff inside that building," owned by L.

N. Although no official estimate of damage has been made, the loss is expected to push the two million dollar mark. Twenty-five boxcars, a conveyor system and several feet of track, in addition to the warehouse, were destroyed or badly damaged. Switch engines moved about 40 other boxcars. The explosions were in boxcars loaded with nitrate.

Some of the cars were still smoking late today, and firemen were standing by as a precautionary measure. About half the firemen were blistered on their hands and faces from the heat. Fire Chief Claude Wright said there are no indications as to what started the blaze but theorized a cigarette may have been dropped by a stranger not familiar with the fire danger. Todd (Continued From Page 1) that he planned an extensive program in this field and that Bonds would direct his full time to the program. Todd said that as far as relieving Milligan of tlie car, "the state veterinarian will get another one as soon as new funds are made available." Explaining why Milligan had been moved out of office to make way for Bonds, Todd said "at the present time we're short of office space." and said that "we'll find some place suitable for the state veterinarian." Informed sources at Montgomery blamed the dispute between Milligan and Todd on a long standing "personal grudge." Cox, J.
