OF Minnesota, told a regional
meeting of the National Press
Photographers Association yester-
day that he would support any
practical measure they would sug-
gest for the protection of photo
grapherS while at work.

instances of persons assaulting

to go to State legislatures for pro-

when he was mayor of Minneapolis

protect the news Photographers

well.

After living in Phoenix for twen-
ty years, Mrs. Phillips said, watch
ing the Negro population increas-

was need for housing. First they
built many homes on 10Th Street
and Broadway, which is known as
"Carlotta Place. This project which
costs more than $18O,000 was help.
But every day there were many
calls for homes to buy as we'll as
rent. Some people wanted business
property also. Unable to handle
the extra calls at that time, it was
concluded that some one should be
able to do so. With this decision,
Phillips and Phillips Realty Co.,
was established.
With their new established office
they are ready and able to handle
all phases of real estate business.

can handle their real estate prob

Hiway Dept. Announces
Traffic Safety Program

AS Arizona counted its 62 traffic
victim for the year, Gen Smoot,
announced the goal of the Traffic
Safety Divisions March program
of traffic accident education.
eff we are to strike successfully
at the mounting toll of traffic vic
TINS" Mr.. Smoot said, 1--WE must
do more than urge legislation and
tighter enforcement. We must get
at the cause of accidents. To do
that, we must reach the individual
driver. More specifically, we must
convince motorists that bad atti-
tudes and discourtesy are the big
difference between safe drivers and
potential killers"
Mr.. Smoot estimated that on the
basis of National Safety Council
figures, about three-fourths of all
fatal traffic accidents are the di-
rect result of driver or pedestrian
selfishness or disregard of safe
walking and driving practices.
"Where discourtesy ends and ac-
tual violation of the law begins, !"
Mr.. Smoot said, "is a fine line of
demarcation. Many discourtesies
that result in fatal accidents are
either not considered grave enough
for prosecution or are not detected
by investigating officers.
weaving from lane to lane or
driving a car in unsafe condition,
for instance, are both discourtesies
of the worst order and yet acci-
dents resulting from such behavior
are very seldom sufficiently clear
cut to invite legal action"
Other, more flagrant, discount
estes listed by the Traffic Safety
Division include: driving on the
wrong side of the road; passing i'm
properly; disregarding an officer or
traffic control device; ignoring the
right of way; speeding; and driving
under the influence of alcohol.
Traffic Safety Divisions program
of traffic safety education, this
month, has as it's theme, "Motor
Manners" and is being sponsored
in, cooperation with the National
Safety Council and coordinated in
Arizona by the Governors High
way Safety Conference.

"Critics of regional education
must take into account the overall
