PRESERVATION OF ROADS
 w TIE SPRING BREAK UP The coming Of spring woakons the roads as tho frost comes out of tho ground. As tho frost molts, the moist turo saturates the material un- der the roads and Woakons them ser-
 iously! 'Undor traffic, tho roads break up, mud holes and ruts appear, water stands in the ruts and causes further softoning, and even the best roads may go to pieces. A few weeks
 of caro at this time means all tho difference between good roads aftor they dry out end bad roads. Lack of caro at th1 timc of the srping broak- up may result in total destruction of pavomonts.
 Several Of the roads of Alaska have now been pavod with bitminous surface. NIoro will be paved this summer and in succ ceeding years. Ono price we pay for keeping these good roads is that of care in the spring. 1t tho t inn of tho breakup ,ssocial restrictions will have to be placed in force in order to save them from damage. Thoso restricti ons will in- clude prohibitin all truck travel for short period during the break up.
 Everyone is advised to plan his haul ing so that the use of trucks on the roads during tho spring breakup will not oo necessary. During the period Of restriction, nothing heavi or than a passongor-c arrying vehicle with a normal load F"ill be permi ted on paved roads.

Edith Sampson Makes
First Speech Before UN

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (ANP)
Mrs. Edith Sampson of Chicago
made her first speech bfore the
UN General Assembly here Thurs
day. She asked that the Social,
Humanitarian and Cultural COM
mittee continues it's advisory work
in social welfare.
Mrs. Sampson, United States al
ternate delegate to the general as
sembly, specifically mentioned this
committees possibilities in the
future rehabilitation of Korea.
After the meeting, Mrs. Samp-
son, the first American Negro re-
preventative to the UN, admitted
that she was a bit nervous in her
debut. She commented:
"But observing and speaking to
delegates from SO countries are
two different things"
She was referring to her past
experience with the UN. In those
days she sat as an observer for
the National Council of Negro
Women.
Her only other international ex-
perience was her trip around the
world in 1949 with the World
Town Hall Seminar. She is now
president of this organization.
Before coming to the UN, Mrs.
Sampson served in the double
role of housewife, and attorney.
This summer she canned several
bushels of pears and peaches.

Taft Against
Compulsory FEPC

At a meeting of Ohio NAACP
members in Lima, Ohio, Senator
Robert A. Taft restated his posi-
ton on FEPC, but failed to add
his now famous charge that high
officials in the NAACP had pri-
vately agreed with him.
Taft stated that he was against
a compulsory FEPC bill and ia
vored voluntary action. If volun-
tary efforts proved unavoidable
after two to four years then, the
senator said, he would fight for
a compulsory bill.
The Republican senator also
told the small group of 200 that
there would never be any Civil
Rights legislation passed with
Democrats in control Of Congress.
Tafts stand on FEPC was the

; Get One To
Twenty Five Years

Two men and a woman were led
back to their cells by deputy
sheriffs after hearing Common
Pleas Judge Calvin Crawford
sentence t h to terms of
one to twenty five years in state
prisons after being found guilty of
strong armed robbery, August 6.
They were: Paul Jones Clark, 23,
of 1888 w. Fifth ST., and Richard
Lewis, 10, of 1896 Carver Pl. De-
Sofa Bass Courts, sentenced to
the Ohio State reformatory at
Mansfield, Ohio. Ruby Mae But
Ter, 10, of 933 Pruden ST., was
sent to the Women's reformatory
in Delaware, Ohio.

In passing sentence. Judge
Crawford told the trio, ''It is the
sentence Of the Court hat you be
removed from society for the
crime you have committed and
with hopes that you may give flu
ture thought in rehabilitating
yourselves to good citizenship
when you are released which is for
the best interest of the commun-
ity."

Like other Americans, Mrs.
Sampson loves to play canasta.
At home she enjoys a bit of in
terror decoration, too.
The Chicago lawyer discounted
as pure baloney the reports that
President Truman appointed her
to this position for propaganda
purposes only.
She admits that she was "shock-
ed" when she heard of the Presi-
dents offer. She was in Boston at
that time, and could not answer
the long distance call telling her
of her new position.
The Chicago lawyer rushed back
to Chicago and to her husband,
Joseph Clayton, also an attorney.
She arranged her business so that
hr law practice would be run by
two young lawyers she had train
ed.
She was selected for her posi-
ton, she said, because the Presi-
dent realized that only a Negro
would have personal knowledge of
the problems facing this race.
On the side, gifts to Mrs.
Sampson have an international
flavor. AS a result of her round
the world tour she has received a
taffets gold embroidered sari from
Begun Liaguat Ali Khan, wife OF
the prime minister of Pakistan,
and numerous other presents from
other spots on the globe.

same stand he took during the
Ohio State Elks convention held in
Dayton several months ago. At
that time Taft said members of the
NAACP had privately agreed with
him. The subsequent u~nfavorable
publicity to that group caused ex-
ecutive secretary Walter White to
rush a telegram to Taft asking
for names of officials who had
agreed with this voluntary plan.
Taft did not answer.
During the convention Walter
White did not publicly question
Taft about the statement.
Still refusing a open debate
on pubic issues Tafts campaign
opponent Joseph T. Ferguson ar
rived at the convention after Taft
had left and spoke on the same
platform.
Ferguson claimed that his OPP
ponent was rating more space and
attention in the large newspapers

Five Killed; Z Injured
N Auto Crash
By Jimmie N. Jones

Five Springfield residents were killed and two
other seriously injured early Saturday morning when the
car in which they were riding collided headon with a
semi-trailer on route 40, near Lafayette, Ohio, Madison
County. According to State Highway patrolmen and Sher-
if Harold Bidwell, of Madison County, the accident was
similar to a train wreck and the worst he had ever seen.
County Coroner w. E. Lukens described it as the worst
in the history of the state of Ohio so far as recorded high
way accidents:

Ohio newspapers as being "shame-
