p ED EST RIANS s
ON THEIR OWN
ASSERTS JUDGE.
Jurist Rules Against
Jaywalking Near
Safety Zones

IMPERIAL, March 23.-
Pedestrians are "on their
own if they ignore safety
zones in crossing highways,
Judge John E. Baker ruled
in justice court here Wednesday.
In dismissing negligent homicide
charges against Fred Petree, driver
of the car which struck and fatal
ly injured a youthful county fair
visitor, the judge placed the re-
sponsibility on pedestrians who pay
no attention to arrangements made
to protect them against injury. The
boy, the court said, in company
with several adults, crossed the
highway in front of the county
fair grounds short distance from
a safety zone guarded by several
highway patrolmen. Safe passage
through traffic was provided but
they did not use it.
Petree, formerly freed of respon-
sibility by a coroner's jury, was
freed of negligent homicide charges
in connection with the fatal injury
of Thomas Lee Davee, 8, Brawley,
Mrs Pearl Davee, mother of the
youth who died Mar. as a result
of the injuries suffered Mar. 5,
testified that she and her son and
j. E. Johnson started to cross the
highway to their car without using
the pedestrian zone.

men whom they suspected of hav-
ing aided in repressing NaziS before
the overthrow of the Schuschnigg
regime.

F. D. R. REPORTS
TO CONGRESS
ON IVA. FIGHT
Emphasizes He Has No
Objection to Probe
Into Affairs

WASHINGTON, Mar. %.
(UP)- President Roosevelt
today transmitted to con-
gress a report on his remov-
al of Arthur E. Morgan as
director of the Tennessee Valley
authority and emphasized he had
no objection to a congressional n
quiry into the situation.
The presidents message was ac-
companied by an advisory opinion,
written by Solicitor General Rob-
ert H. Jackson, acting attorney
general, upholding the presidents
right to remove Morgan from Of
flee.
Senate and house leaders now are
expected to start a congressional
inquiry. The president, however,
did not specifically request such
an inquiry. Morgan, himself, was
expected to file a court action chal-
lenging legality of his removal.
1T is clearly the right of con-
gress to undertake at any time any
fair inquiry into the adnlinistra-
ton OF the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority or its policies which the
congress may deem in the public
interest" said Mr.. Roosevelt. But
1 cannot, in the meanwhile, abdi-
cate my constitutional duty to take
care that the laws be faithfully
executed"
Citing his reasons for removal
of Morgan = his charges against
fellow iva directors, refusal to
present substantiating evidence and
refusal to answer counter charges
of the other iva directors, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
Arthur E. Morgan has repeated
the assertion that he will answer
questions only to a committee OF
the congress. Obviously there can
be no objection to hearings before
such a committee"
