JAYWALkING Law GOES
into Effect TODAY

Pedestrians in Dayton can con-
tinue jaywalking on and after to-
day-but it won't be healthy, fl
nancially or otherwise.
Violators of the city's newest
safeguards against traffic mishaps
not only will find police to enforce
terms of the ordinance, but will
find complete directions for ap-
pearing in court on the second and
each subsequent ticket.
Briefly, violator can break that
particular law any time he, or she,
wants to invest in a dollar fine.
If the receipt for the 81 isn't suf-
ficient reminder, the next time that
violator is caught, it involves a one
way ticket to municipal court.
Just what is in store for violators
hailed before Municipal Judge Paul
Sherer, only time will tell. Even
the judge was not sure last night.
whether we have to employ
more help or set up special sec
ton for this type of violation de-
pends on the number Of arrests, !"
the judge declared.
Fright now, each one will be
handled as a separte traffic viola
ton just like any other infraction
of the traffic code," he added.
Potential second offenders are
reminded that it can cost them as
much as S45, this warning coming
from Capt. Paul Price of the police
department traffic division.
Fifteen pedestrians have been
killed thus far this year in Day.

it has been determined that IA of
the accidents would not have oc-
Cured had principals observed
precautions embodied IN this Ordl-
ordinance.
Similarly, last years pedestrian
death toll was FL and 19 of these
would have been avoided through
the same medium"
The new law was born of 18
months of research by the safety
council of the Chamber of Com
merce which has aided in wide
spread education of the public on
terms of the statute.
Press, radio and signs have been
used freely in informing the pub
lie Of the laws three tenets: cross
only on green lights, cross only at
intersections and between cross
walk markers there, and remain on
the sidewalk until the green light
is received.

The quizzical, equable Jimmy"
Byrnes of fond Capitol Hill memory
altered before a hundred -odd re-
porters yesterday into taut Secre-
tary of State who would not and
said he sheuid not be questioned
The astounded correspondents stuck
to their guns. 1t was a pain
full scene.
This is Washington, where atti-
tudes and tempers are the passing
buoys that tell where the shoals are
hidden. The grist of facts was over
shadowed in The correspondents
minds by Mr.. Byrnes' evident i'll
temper over questions which might
lead toward Russia.
Mr.. Byrnes has had on the whole
good press despite the. failure of
the London Conference and the
steadily deteriorating foreign policy
situation. He and his chief were
new, their problems incredible, other
nations, notably Russia and the
French, proving recalcitrant. The
information situation at the State
Department has been terrible-so
bad that various correspondents
have made formal appointments
with President Truman to talk
about it.
World Hangs on Words.
The world literally hangs on
the words of the only great nation
with the atom bomb and some
spare cash. The State Departments
quota of these words is channeled
through the Secretary, so when he
decides to utter he. packs them in.
Even the princes of the press, who
shun gatherings open to the hoi
poili, attend.
Mr. Byrnes began with jest
about his pleasure at getting the
Italian armistice terms out of his
system. Everybody laughed. That
top secret, hush-hushed for years,
proved a wet hrecracker, princi-
pally arousing the question Of why
it wasn't published long ago.
The Secretary said he would read
the United States proposals for al
teration of the Montreux conven-
tion governing the status Of the
Dardanelles. This diplomatic double
talk" meant he would disclose our
plans to assure Russia wartime use
of the straits, which she does not
now have.
His advance publication repre-
sents retreat from his position at
the London Conference, where Amer
ican proposals were not given to
our correspondents but leaked out
piecemeal after the Russians had
taken large bites out of them.
Huskily, Mr.. Byrnes read the COM
munication to Turkey, which sug-
gests full use of the straits to mer-
chant ships, warship use to the Black
Sea powers.
What are the Black Sea powers?"
correspondent asked.
Fires Both Barrels.
He got both barrels. The Secre-
tary said he did not propose to ex-
plore these questions with the press,
he would save them to explore with
other nations, he did not feel obliged
to be cross-examined. He spoke
rapidly. The correspondent defended
himself. Mr.. Byrnes was sarcastic.
Another dauntless correspondent
reminded the Secretary that the
original story regarding American
proposals had come from Turkey
Monday; an inquiry was put here.
Why the three-day delay in answer
ing? Mr.. Byrnes was again mordant
He did not feel obliged to discuss
every untrue story from foreign capt.
