Cole's statement was the first official confirmation that the United States has a deliverable H-bomb. The disclosure came as hydrogen weapons tests reportedly were under way at the Ehl-wetok atomic proving grounds in the Pacific.

Concluded from Tft One questions but apparently" the governor has some new questions. it must- be remembered that our projects on the Ford 'expressway were being Dushed by Detroit Wayne county, and everybody and under emergencies there always is a tendency to pay more for prop erty; 'EVERT EFFORT 'Also, under the law the state highway department is required to make every effort to come to an understanding with property own ers. There were many homes along the Ford highway and to get ne gotiated agreements in such cases costs more. Furthermore, we probably ne gotiated some higher amounts in order not to hold up the contrac tors.

Delaying a contractor is more expensive than paying a little more for the property." Ziegler said that as he recalled the figures Wayne county's acqui sitions included 46 percent con demnations while the highway deJ partment had only iz percent con demnations. Williams demanded an explana tion "of the questions raised by this report" He said the report showed the state acquired 1,999 parcels of land for the Ford expressway, paying $23,261,000 for Jand appraised at $22,023,000. -v At the same time, ne saia. ine county road commission acquired 1,767 parcels for the Lodge ex pressway, paying xor land appraised at $26,854,000. -INTERCHANGE AREA The contrast between the state and county operations, Williams is best shown in land pur chases for the interchange area between the two expressways.

Here the two agencies were buying in the same area under identical conditions. Williams said. "Yet the report shows mat tne county road commission, out of 260 negotiated purchases in the inter change area, paid in excess or tne hignest appraisal in oniy onease, Williams said. "On the same project, the state highway department negotiated 81 purchases and paid more than 'the highest appraisal in 38 cases." Williams said "this contrast Is particularly puzzling in view of the fact that the state highway de partment operates under a much stronger condemnation law than the county uses. The difference could hardly be in the appraisals, because I understand both the state and the county used Inde pendent appraisers who presumably used the same yarasticK xor Dotn projects." NEGOTIATED PURCHASES The governor declare the report showed that the purchases made by the state in excess of the appraisals were mainly on negotiated purchases, not on condemnation awards.

On the Ford expressway the highway department negotiated purchases of 1.783 parcels, Williams said. Of these 939 were bought at higher than the appraised price and on 255 the price was 10 per cent or more above the appraisal figure. On the Lodge expressway, he said, the county negotiated the sale of 869 parcels out of 1,787. Only four cost more than the ap praisals and in two of these the ex cess was less than one dollar, he said. Williams said the net percentage of cost paid on the Ford express way by the highway department in excess of appraisals was 5.62 percent while the county purchases were percent below tne ap praisals.
