ACCIDENT REPORTING
ADVANTAGES

The moments Immediately
following the occurrence of mo-
tor vehicle accidents are very
trying but very important mo-
ments for drivers. There may
be unruly drivers present,
crowds may collect and it may
be necessary to attend the in
jured. Drivers, even though in
a state of shock, know that
amid all the confusion it is
necessary to obtain specific
names, addresses and license
numbers. These are essential
in filling out accident reports,
later on.
Reports are sometimes made
for the insurance company, for
the employer or for city police.
Some persons are still unaware
that accidents must be report
ed to the State-provided any
persons property is damaged
in excess Of $50 Or if any per-
son is injured OR killed. At first
thought, a driver may consider
that reporting to the State is
simply another annoyance add
ed to already grievous burdens.
To the contrary, the reporting
of accidents to the State, bene-
fits drivers in two important
respects.

parents, John and the late
Theofani Geo-Karis, that it was
all right to send girl to COL
lege.
Sets Precedent in City
They believed that a good
place for women was at home.
The half year out for parental
persuasion cost young Adeline
a scholarship. But she made it
to Herzl Junior College where,
among other honors, she was
the first woman to be elected
class president in the Chica-
go Junior college system.
Then she worried her par
ents again. When they had two
sons, they wondered why it had
to be one of their two daugh-
tiers who should choose to go
into law. Reluctantly they al
lowed her to register at De
Paul University. In summer ses-
sions she kept busy studying
at Northwestern University.
II had to hurry before my
folks changed their minds" the
new J. P. explains. It was a
stretch of concentration and
hard work. Possibly, it was the
kind of training that eventual
ly escalated her from an ap-
prentice seaman in the WAVES
to Lieutenant Commander in
charge of the legal and disci-
pline of enlisted personnel at
the separation center, Great
Lakes Naval Training center.
Only Woman in Law Class
The job was big as it's title.
Lieut.. Comdr. Geo-Karis had
to process legal matters from
the beginning through general
courtsmartial. She had authori-
ty to mete punishments, and
she interviewed an average of
900 men and few women
every week on all varieties and
degrees of misbehavior.
That, of course, came after
she took her bachelors degree
in law in the DePaul February
class of 1912, the only woman
in class of 120. A year of Gin
ternship" in a Chicago law
firm preceded her enlistment
in the WAVES.
Adeline Geo-Karis started
out as "Antigone." Her mother
was in Greece on a visit to the
homeland when the future J. P.
was born in 1918. It wasn't un-
til 1922 that the family return
ed to this country, arriving in
New York on the Fourth of
July.
Her Name is Changed
"Of course the guns doomed
just for u.s." the new J. P. will
tell you. Not long after that
big brother took her to school
and quietly changed Antigone
to Adeline.
"Geo-Karis is hard enough
for the American teachers" he
told the little girl. $50 you're
going to be Adeline.'
So it is Adeline, nee Anti
gone, who decided after COM
ing out of military service to
open a new law office and &c
into the real estate business
in Zion. Her father lives at
4751 Monroe St., Chicago, and

MONOPOLY:
Clark Agitoted

While President Truman was de-
lighting business generally with
his abandonment of any tax-in-
crease proposals, U. S. Attorney
General Tom Clark was agitated
over the growth of "big" business
and urging curbs on "concentra-
ton of economic power"
CLARK APPEARED very much
disturbed by the situation and let
go both barrels in his shots at big
business as he testified in a con-
gressional investigation into mo-
nopolistic practices.
He termed business monopoly an
economic blackjack" and urged
that the federal government get
busy doing something about it. He
told house judiciary subcommit-
tee that most people were victims
of three erroneous assumptions. He
listed them as:
l. Assumption that competition
continues to thrive as long as there
are at least two or three or four
in the field.
2. Assumption that the bigger
the producer the better the quality
of the goods and the cheaper the
price to the public.
3. Assumption that companies be-
come big because they deserve to
be big-in other words, that they
outdistance their competitors be-
cause they do better job, render
greater service, or furnish bet
ter goods.
CLARK DECLARED he did not
share any of these assumptions.
Continuing his testimony before
the committee, he said:
The fundamental issue is
whether the economy of this country
is to remain free and competitive,
or whether it is to be subjected to
private RECOMMENDATION through mo-
nopoly control"

KRUG::

Drew Pearson was in hot water
again. Generally accused of partial
responsibility in the suicidal death

columnist had reported the U. S.

ill with "athlete's heart"
In letter to Pearson, Krug's
physician, DR.. R. Layman Sexton.
asserted Krug is completely well
and able to do twice the work of
the average person.
Wherever one stood on the pro-
priety of Pearson's discussion of
the health of top government Off
Gals, it would be remembered that
several of his reports on the condi-
ton of Forrestal's health-origin-
ally denied by the navy-were later
admitted.

REUTHER:
Still on Top

Sthi VI top
With red-thatched, fiery Walter
Reuther still at the helm, the
United Auto Workers union, num-
bering some million members,
could be expected to hold firm in
any demands made for wage in
creases or social benefits.
BRUSHING aside token opposi-
ton from JAWS left wing ele-
ments, Reuther was elected to a
third term as JAW president by a
top-heavy majority.
The voting which reelected
Reuther was a new triumph for the
right-wing forces in the union
which catapulted him into office
in 1916 and rewarded him with con-
troll of the other international Of
fees and the board at the l947 con-
vention. His new term will expire
in April, 1851.
JAW DELEGATES moved into
the election of top officers after
hearing Leon Keyserling, of Presi-
dent Humans council of economic
advisers, tell them that "as a gen.

full employment in this country,
and which will maintain our econ
omy on stable levels is one which
adds to consumer purchasing pow
er from year to year-because we
have the capacity to produce more
goods from year to year.
The auto workers unions big fight
was with Ford motor company
which, in opposing proposed wage
rates, offered to peg wages at
present levels for a given period,
regardless of what cost-of-living
developments brought about.
FORD commended the cost Of
living has gone down and there
was no justification for pay raises,
basing the argument on the JAW
contract which called for pay hikes
as the cost-of-living increased.
Reuther opposed that line of reason
ing, contending that the unions
economists have proved, by a sur
vey, that most industries can
afford wage increases now.

US. ECONOMY:
Human Honcadas

While there was some measure
of contradiction in concept. Presi-
dent Truman, in his message to
congress on the economic state of
the nation had conceded that re-
cession forces were alive.
However, in neat bit of lingu-
istic maneuvering, he declared
the current situation one in which
the national economy was in order
ly retreat from serious initiation.
At the same time, however para
doxical the warning might seem,
he declared that there could be
no "greater economic folly" than
an attempt to balance the federal
budget in a declining national
economy"
He highlighted the contradiction
by adding that such a move would
only aggravate the recession
forces against which his new pol
icy was directed.
OF CHIEF INTEREST in his re-
port was his abandonment of an
earlier plan to demand four bill
lion dollars in additional taxes.
He lightly dismissed this former
policy with the statement: "No
major increase in taxes should be
undertaken at this time" Instead,
he proposed liberalization of al
lowances for past losses in COM
putting income taxes and increasing
estate and gift taxes.
The Presidents obvious reversal
Of policy was held to be little less
pronounced than the findings of
his council of economic advisors
on whose report the Presidents
message was based. They found
that since January the forces
threatening stability had become
predominantly deflationary and
that the weakening of markets had
become general.

ERP FUNDS:
Slash Voted

There appeared to be a change
Of sentiment regarding aid to
Marshall plan countries. The SEN
ate appropriations committee had
voted to slash 10 per cent from Sec
ond-year funds asked for the &C.
tivity.
The committee also tied up so
million dollars of what was left
tn order to cut Spain in on the
European recovery program should
the administration see fit. The
program would get something more
than 3.75 billions. President Tru-
man had asked approximately 420
billions. A committee member dis
closed that one group within the
membership had attempted to
chop 10 per cent off the requested
appropriation
Chairman McKeller 3D., TENN
estimated that the committee cut
approximately TAG million dollars
from President Truman's budget
estimate for actual appropriations
in foreign spending, which includes
other programs besides the Mar
shall plan.
The sum voted for the Marshall
plan would be spread over the ~
months ending June 30, 1850. This
was nearly 210 million more than
the house had voted-but the house
bill would have permitted expendi-
ture of the fund in 10h months if
necessary.
A committee aide explained to
Washington newsmen that unless
the loan is made to Spain, the
withheld so million dollars could
not be used for any other purpose.
