The possibility of giving farm-owned trucks reduced rates on all Kentucky's toll bridges being studied by the state highway department.

Commissioner J. Lyter Donaldson said today he had inquired of the department's consulting engineers whether such trucks might be allowed the passenger car tolls rate, instead of the commercial truck rate. He added: "I'm inclined to think our trust indentures (on the bridge bonds which tare being paid off by the tolls) would prohibit it. "The state farm bureaus in asking for the reduction said that since the legislature had recognised farm-owned trucks as being in a different class from commercial trucks and arrowed them the same license rate as passenger cars, that all departments of the state government should give them similar lower rates." It was expected to be several weeks before the department's consulting engineers, a New York firm, completed its investigation and advised the commissioner. 'HOMESICK' Mrs.

Most of the Fascist press said that if Italy were to accept Prime Minister Winston Churchill's proposal to "quit the war'' and overthrow Premier Benito Mussolini, she would condemn herself to "permanent vassalage to Britain and lose all hope of attaining her aspirations." The Churchill speech was given to the public today by the official Stefani news agency and was widely commented upon in the press. As the press bitterly assailed Churchill's speech, asserting it was typical of British habit of looking down on the Italians as a second rate people, the Fascist high command said that II Duce's air force was continuing to bombard and machine-gun British mechanized units on the Libyan front.
