Commission Asks Creation Of
 Overseas Agency
tBY Sterling F. Green)

HING TON, (P) - The Hoover commission today asked Congress to consider creating a new administration of overseas affairs" to manage territories, oc- cupied areas and the Marshall Plan.
 The report, next to last in the commissions series of 18 on gov ernment reorganization, made no flat recommendation for laws to cure what it called the present confusion, inconsistencies and uncertainty" in the handling of overseas responsibilities. But it declared that, of three likely solutions, such an independ- ent agency holds the greatest possibilities" of ending confusion and serious friction" among the offices now sharing the job-the army, navy, state and interior de- partments and four independent agencies.
 Former President H CT b CT Hoover, chairman of the 12-mem- Der, bipartisan commission, went further. He declared the agency should be set up immediately. Two other members shared his view-James K. Pollock, political scientist, and George H. Mead, Ohio industrialist.
 If Congress adopts the sugges- tion, the new administration would take over, among other things:
 The self-governing territories of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, from the inte- rior department.

Long Shot Wins Grand National At Aintree, Eng.

AINTREE, Eng. (P) - Russian Hero, a 66 to 1 choice in the bet ting, won the 1O3rd Grand Nation al steeplechase classic Saturday as the favored Cromwell finished fourth.
 Lord Bicester's Roimond was second. Mrs. May Harvey's Royal Mount, was third in the field of 43 starters in this greatest of all steeplechase races.
 Russian Hero, a nine-year-ol bay gelding owned by w. F. Will liamson. won by eight lengths.
 Roimond was g to 1 shot, and Royal Mount at 18 to 1.
 Cromwell's defeat was blow to many thousands of betto throughout England. He lost to horse whose trainer thought so little of his chances that he had debated keeping him out of the race.
 Trainer George R. Owen had told the owner the horse had poor prospects, but Williamson insisted on letting him start.
 The London Daily Worker, the British communist party's official paper, selected the nine-year-old gelding to win the race.
 Caddie II, one of two American horses in the race, fell, just as he did last year. Caddie II is owned by Paul Mellon, Pittsburgh and Washington financier.
 Cromwell, third last year in the four and one-half mile classic over 30 of the worlds stiffest obstacles, had closed at to 1. In the final callover at the Victoria Club Fri day night, Lord Mildmay's horse had been quoted at to 1. His odds fell 10 minutes before post time because many bettors in the es- timated crowd of 30O,0OO persons were favoring Happy Home and Cavaliero.

DANGER IN RECKLESS DRIVING

DAINIEn I'm hECNLESS DRIVING
INCREASE IN the number of reckless motorists is
putting the lives OF pedestrians in grave jeopardy. Every now
and again someone loses his life or gets seriously injured. Sew
eral months ago it was a boy of school age who was killed on
the highway near Parade Ground whena car raced to pass an
other. On Saturday evening two youths driving at an unusual
Y high speed in a pickup truck could not make the curve, ran
off the road, colided with a coconut tree and a telephone nole
after which both were removed unconscious from the vehicle.
which was a total wreck.
FOR TIKI PAST several months motorists have taken 70
driving at high speeds through the towns and on highways.
Youths with no experience and also older men, who with their
friends, many times intoxicated, careen through the towns one
hand on the wheel and one hanging on the outside. Specifical-
ymC hristiansted, they would approach King Street from
Company and completely ignore two stop signs and either
turn the corner or cross at a terrific burst of speed, with no
apparent regard for the Police Department signs which say
STOP"
MANY OF THE MOTORISTS find themselves in vehi-
Giles which should never be on the road in the first place and
II the point is strained, then the greatest care and caution
should be exercised. Many of these cars and trucks may have
escaped inspection as to brakes and general conditions, and
SO they become potential danger trans on wheels. During a
recent survey OF nineteen cars that passed by one corner, eleven
were without rear, lights. In addition to endangering the life
OF pedestrians, these motorists also create a great hazard to
other motorists who realize the responsibility they have to
their fellowmen.
NOR CAN ANY DISCUSSION be had concerning the
careleSSneSs OF motorists without mentioning the utterly child
ish habit of racing on the public highway and at times even in
the towns. Nothing could be more ridiculous and utter
l foolish. In the first place, there is nowhere to 90. While our
highways are fairly good, yet, the longest run is too short to
afford any development of speed. Life as a whole moves slow
, 1949-06-07

ly enough SO that it is not ne
cessary for some motorists to
risk the life Of others trying to
get nowhere fast. And the sit
uation is made even more Seri-
Gus where the light headed
motorist finds himself at the
wheel of one of the new high
powered cars. The average
car OF today can pick up more
speed and power than the
average person would think of
needing, and there is where
sane thinking and good sense
come into play.
IT'S good to give fair warn
ing, so that things can be taken
in hand before more trouble
is created. In the United States
thousands die every year from
accidents, and during the past
Christmas and New Year over
400 persons lost their lives,
The estimates made by the Ma
tional Safety Council were fair
ly accurate. While no such sit
uation obtains here, it must be
remembered that our condi-
ton is such that accidents
need never take place, and
that is a goal to which we
should work.
Failure of drivers to keep in
mind the safety of others,
should result in sterner action
by the Police Department and
the cooperation Of the Police
Court in setting a few
examples.
