Youth Held

Detroit, Mar. SONS Police
today were searching for the driver
OF a black car who is believed TO
be the killer OF Joyce Raulston..
Four positive witnesses have
linked the mysterious black car

ing.

girls movements after she left Gus
Galenes' restaurant at l0:45 p. IN.
Monday. Galenes told police that
one OF his customers got into q
black car and followed the girl as
the latter walked west on Warren
Ave.
Police believe hat Joyce met her
slayer somewhere on W. Warren
between Pierson and the Ann Ar
Dor Trail. where the mutilated bo-
dy was 'ound on Uttered dump.
The distance between the restau-
rant and this point is about a
mile
Witnesses who saw Joyce or the
black car in the same vicinity
were, Carl Rogge. a DSR bus driv-
er. who reported seeing a black
car at the Warren entrance to
the dump at 2 a. m. Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker, residents of
the neighborhood. reported seeing
both Joyce and the black car late
Monday night. They explained
that they did not look back and
heard no sounds to indicate that
the girl either entered or was
dragged into the car.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AGAIN
(New York TimeS)

(New York Times)
Studies by the National Conservation
Bureau estimate that the nations indus
try lost 100000 man-days from alb
SenceS because of traffic accidents last
year. Drivers injured in such accidents
lost an average of thirteen days; injured
passengers. tWenty-SeVen days; injured
pedestrians. fifty-two days. These statis-
ties would be disheartening enough at
any time; in the midst of war they are
doubly shocking. There are by-prOduct
losses also. which in these times of grow
ing vehicle shortages reach disturbing
proportionS One car out of every thirty
involved in accidents is Scrapped and 1t
is estimated that $4,000 automobiles, or
one out of every six in the Junk yard.
went out of service last year because of
a traffic mishap.
One of the Saddest aspects of this rec
ord is that its causes are remediable and
vet we do so little about them. Careless
ness on the streets and highways is cauS-
ing huge and preventable national loss.
The responsibility is on the individual.
Every American should realize that he is
directly involved. whether driver or ped
eStrian. and resolve to do his individual
best to relate the problem to his own
acts. There IS no mystery involved IN
the problem of cutting the accident toll.
1t requires only firm resolve to think
before acting and to apply the rules of
American spOrtSmanship to our behavior

COMPULSORY ATHLETIC
TRAINING IN u. S.

A we'll known athletic coach comes for
ward with the proposal that compulsory
athletics be instituted in this country TO
replace any thought of compulsory mill
tary training.
Naturally this new thought is based
on his own beliefs in the benefits of train
ing the body for competitive physical en-
counters. Of course there must be mind
training if any physically trained per-
son is to compete intelligently in any
sport.
But the prOpOnent touches on q basis
that may lend more support to his theory
and belief than his own views. colored
as thev consistently would be because
of his profession He cites the wholesale
number of men and youths declared un-
fit physically for military service.
Eliminating the shadow of a hint that
compulsory athletic training would pro-
vide an overnight top notch military
force as far as physical ability goes, the
argument carries weight.
II is not difficult 10 vision a nation
with everyone 100 per cent physically
fit. omitting those of course who live
under natural handicaps. 1t could mean
challenge TO other nations not to make
war and in the end could be powerful
agency to ban wars.
Anything smachng OF compulsory
in nation adhering to the principles Of
democracy never sits well, but there
might be a more generous response to
this phase of enforcing RECOMMENDATION
than in other types.
1t is not conceable that any one would
not, or does not desire to be wholly phySi-
cally sound.
{ 1t would not be an easy undertaking.
1t is no simple task to assume and accept

RATiONING RUMORS
{ Sacramento Bee)

I NNdCIdlutlllO DCCj
Rumors that coffee was to be returned
to the rationed list produced mild run
on some grocery stores in Sacramento and
elsewhere.
The rumorS were based on statements
by high officials of the Office of Price
administration that Brazilian exporters
were holding their coffee supplies await
ing higher prices and that unless the stu
alton was eased rationing might have to
be resumed early next year
Subsequently,, Brazil agreed to ship
sufficient coffee to the United States to
assure coffee drinkers adequate supplies
for many months to come.
The incident, however, served to illus
trate that many persons have not gotten
over the rationing jitters. The democratic
method is for the government to keep the
people informed regarding the status OF
supplies of all articles which might be
come subject to rationing.
However, if vague hints Of shortages
are to produce runs on such articles 1t
NAV be necessary to restore the technique
of spot announcements.
