Red ''IdeaIs'' Make Cu|prits
 Go Straighi

MOSCOW, May J.-Soviet au- thorities recently have reported the voluntary surrender and confession of scores of criminals anxious to atone for their crimes so that they may start anew and above board.
 Officials credit this to the sue cess of socialism Police activities and the greata difficulty of avoiding detection in the Soviet union also play part in the criminals desire to legalize themselves.
 Backing up the official view. many of these who have surrendered have credited the new constitution and the successes of socialist construc- tion as the major factors impelling them to abandon crime.
 Sincere Desire Seen
 A J. Vishinsky, chief public pros ecutor, attributes the move to a genuine desire of criminals to re- form.
 These people leave no doubt in my mind that they sincerely wish for a new life" Vishinsky says. "Of course some of them may be back sliders. But such will be individual cases. Most of them unquestion- ably will step out on the wide path Of socialist construction, and will pull with them some of their part ners in crime who still hesitate to start on the road to correction and liquidation of the past"
 Educated For Future
 Vishinsky believes that where dozens now are surrendering, hun dreds soon will give themselves up to the prosecutors.
 Prisoners are being offered the opportunity to go to the vocational prison camps, where educational programs looking toward their re- lhabilitation and teaching of a yo- cation have been instituted

Road Signs SKilIed'' by
 Vandalism

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 6. How long should road sign stay on the job? About five years if everyone would let it alone.
 Chief Engineer Mortimer w. Smith, explaining what an impor- tant part a uniform sign system plays in the lives of motorists, has discovered that too many persons like to take highway markers home or something. He says:
 Replacement of signs is fre- quently necessary, not so much because they naturally become ob- solete as because of vandalism. An undisturbed sign should last for five or more years without replac- ment. It is probable that over half Of the signs replaced are because of vandalism"

General Sherman Tree
 Once Called Karl Marx

CANTA CRUZ, Cal. May 6. - The vacation trip of Charles F. Kel- lar of this city recalled the days when a Socialist colony occupied much of what is now Sequoia Ma tional park.
 The 90-year-old ex-soldier went back to where he established the Kaweah colony in 1886 and built the first road to the giant redwoods.
 What is now the General Sher- man tree, often styled the oldest and largest of living things, was originally named the Karl Marx tree by Kellar.
 The Kaweah colony disbanded after a long struggle with the gov ernment over whether the land should become a national park.
