Auto Insurance Should
Be Required Of All
BY ARTHUR L. HAYES

Again the people of the state of
Washington need to review the
growing rate of auto accidents
along with the victims they leave
behind them. Where there is no
liability insurance and the owners
of the cars involved the state has
to take the cases and care for VIC
Tins out of the taxpayers pockets.
The cause or guilt of the accidents
does not pay hospital bills nor take
care of dependents, which in their
turn must draw upon assistance
funds so needed for other worthy
causes.
In 1945 the writer brought this
very important phase of insecurity
now hanging over the head of
every citizens of this state by the
actions of insurance companies,
whose main business is to protect
automobile owners against acct
dents, but it was ignored by many
o fthose who are in position to Of
fer remedy The cry is to keep
the state out of the insurance bust
nessc, yet force the state to pay
for the damage done. The future
holds even more dangers as the

CLARE BOOTHE LUCE
.RAPS RELIGIOUS
AND RACIAL LINES

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Glare Boothe
Luce, former Congresswoman, has
contributed an undisclosed sum OF
money to st. Malachy's, a Negro
parish here.
The pastor. the Rev. Ralph w.
Warner, S. j.. earlier had de-
clined a $25 donation from the
Catholic Parents Association, a
group formed to protest against
Archbishop Joseph e. Ritter's de-
cision permitting Negroes TO at
tend Catholic high schools in the
archdiocese.
In making her donation, Mrs.
Luce said: There are people in
every country who claim or su'g-
gest that there are basic differ
enoes essential and inherent
inner qualities = among the var
ious branches of the human fam
lily.
"All such claims plainly deny
the validity of our American con-
cept of spiritual and political life.
First, II is fundamental Christian
doctrine that we are all children
Of God and equal peers to His
kingdom.
Second, it is fundamental DEM
ocrat doctrine that every citizen,
regardless of color, creed or roce.
is equal before the law.
For God and country" her
message concluded, your good
city and many of its citizens have
struck one more brave blow for
the dignity of man."
The Catholic Parents associa-
ton was disbanded here after the
Most. Rev. Amleto G. Ciccognani,
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, informed @the group that
he was sure it would readily COM
ply" with Archbishop Ritter's de-
cision.

kill a person attempting
to escape from him unless
he knows or is reasonably
certain that the fleeing per-
son has committed a felony.
The best legal authority on the
subject is that an offer is with
in his rights to shoot a fleeing
felon provided he cannot other
wise be taken. but that the officer
must have seen the felony COM
mitted and where there is only
suspicion he is not warranted in
treating the fugitive as a felon.
In the case of Johnny Wells,
the Tacoma police make no claim
that Johnny was even suspected
of committing a misdemeanor
They say that someone told them
that Johnny said something about
committing suicide and when he
attempted TO escape, IL is fairly
apparent. that the officer simply
got mad and decided to beat him
to the punch and kill him first.
In Detroit, a police officer re-

old Negro boy. suspected but I'M
proved to be a purse snatcher.
When the boys body was searched
however, neither the purse or any
thing 1t was supposed to contain
was found. The boy was simply
frightened and ran.
That officer is now facing an
indictment and the same thing
should soon be happening to Pistol
Pete of Tacoma. Johnny was SER
iously hurt and has had several
blood transfusions to keep him
alive. If he gets well he will be
extremely lucky and there is little
doubt but that his earning capa-
city in his chosen profession is
forever destroyed.

In King County Washington,
qualified citizens are called for
jury service unfortunately and
regardless of race or color. Such
service is high civic duty and
entails responsibilities. It often
entails inconvenience and even fin

is service that should be will

More on Canned Soups
By the Chef

Lets 60 . little further with
last weeks dissertation on varying
canned soups to add interest and
variety to our usual first course.
First, there's the simple little trick
OF adding pinch Of dried oregano
or basil to canned tomato soup.
You've no idea what a pickup this
Is for q soup that is usually too
bland for most tastes. Add a little
red wine to oxtail soup: sherry, a
slice Of lemon and a slice of hard
cooked egg to black bean. Sprinkle
grated Parmesan cheese on clear
bouillon.
On white soups, instead OF the
usual dash Of paprika, float chopped
chives, minced parsley or chopped
green onion tops. Minced watercress
Is good on celery soup and chopped
chives are practically must" for
potato soup. Green split pea soup Is
enhanced by a sprinkling of grated
carrot on top. Chop a&lit.le pickle
into vegetable soups that seem to
lack zip. 1t will give 1t to theml
When you get around to the sum-
mertime and start serving jellied
soups, don't pour them in the cups
to jell. Let them jell in the can, turn
the contents into chilled bowl and
break 1t up until light and sparkling
by beating with fork. Heap the
glistening mounds in chilled bouillon
cups and top with slice of lemon.
