Truman Urges
Caution On
US. Highways
Says Highway Accidents
Strike Directly AT
National Strength

WASHINGTON, June l3.-iA3
President Truman says that an
accident on the highway does as
much damage to. the nations de-
Tense effort as a deliberate act Of
sabotage by d hostile agent
Mr.. Truman says that at a time
when the U. S. and its allies face
a great danger, highway accidents
strike directly at national power.
The President makes those OBJ
servations in a speech for the
delegates to the annual highway
safety conference in Washington's
Constitution Hall
The President cautions that
rapidly increasing motor travel
this year has raised the prospect
that highway fatalities in 1851
may go above the $4,000 figure of
1850.
Mr. Truman says that traffic
accidents slow our production
and weaken the whole economy
of the nation. He adds.
They are q sheer economic
waste"
The President also makes a plea
for an Improvement in the coun-
try's highway system. saying:
Much of our main road mile
age is worn out and obsolete and
the replacement program has not
kept pace"
The President brings out Che
highway safety problem in this
way, saying:
Perhaps We can understand
the scope of our problem better
if we remember that some time
in this year 1851, the number Of
traffic deaths since 1900 will pass
the million mark-nearly as
many Americans have been kill
ed in automobile accidents as
have been killed in all the wars
of our history-the slaughter GO
ing on every day OH our roads
and streets is unnecessary and ins
excusable.
Some 1000 delegates are at
lending the safety conferences.
along with observers from IS for
eign nations.
In his speech, Mr. Truman paid
tribute to Major General Philip
Fleming, who has been chairman
of the safety conference since.
1916. Fleming, who recently was
named Us Ambassador to Costa
RIGA, was absent because of ill
ness.

Reds Fighting Withdrawing Action
In Central Korea; Allies Push Ahead
Enemy Shows No
Inclination To
Dig In And
Hang On
az Wirephoto

TOKYO, June 13.-tP.-Th
are indications that the Commu.
nistts are fighting q withdrawing
action in Central Korea at this
hour
There is a pattern to the battle.
The enemy digs in on a ridge and
stops allied troops with artillery
and mortars. Then allied planes
blast out the Reds. who pull back
70 another ridge.
And then, it is the same thing
all over again
But the enemy shows no incli-
nation 70 dig in and hang on APP
pare;,tly he is esying 10 delay the
allied advance at the least cost in
casualties.
Meanwhile, allied troops are
lstriking deeper into the shattered
enemy fortress in Central Korea.
They are running into hidden
stores of enemy ammunition in
| the captured southern part OF the
triangle. And allied planes are
blasting enemy forces trying 10
rull supplies cut Of the northern
apex, before allied troops take ii.
| o. the east flank of the tri-
angle, the enemy is putting up a
sitter resistance. A Red road
block is holding on the highway
to Kumsong.
On the western front, enemy
troops are holding stubbornly on
| The Imiin river. II is on that front
that the allies apparently are run
ming into heavy enemy defenses.

Note Sent To
All School
Recommendations Made
In Order To Stabilize
Tutoring OF Pupils
Durimg Summer Months

Assistant superintendent of the
Monroe county schools, Leland
,. March, has sent notice to
all elementary school principals
regarding elementary summer
tutoring.
The recommendations made in
order to stabilize the tutoring of
pupils during summer months
contain the following suggest
ions:
/. Tutoring should be done,
when possible, by teachers COM
pletely certified in the subjects
being taught. This is State re-
quirement for high school credit,
SO why accept lower standards
for the elementary school level?
2. Elementary students are
not encouraged to study new
subjects to accelerate their pro-
gram, but should concentrate on
getting a good foundation first.
8. Elementary students should
be tutored in any subjects which
they have failed for as many
hours as needed; but il is desir-
able that they should not re-study
the subjects under the same
teacher with whom they failed
the preceding year.
4. Fees for tutoring are sug-
gested in order to be fair to
both teachers and parents. Rec
commended prices are 50 the
hour for one pupil; $3.50 for two
pupils; $l.25 for three and four
pupils, and one dollar the. hour
for five or six pupils.
S. In fairness to both teachers
and students, it is not recon-
mended that "a tutor attempt to
teach two subjects during the
same hour of tutoring.
6. Pupils may raise failing
mark in any major academic
subject if they have studied I'M
der fully certified teacher and
have passed the standard test
selected in that subject for their
grade level.
This test will be gwen between
August is and August n; SO ii
will be wise for students sutoring
to plan study time SO that each
can conclude the study close to
those dates.

Radar Network To Detect Approaching
Hurricanes Urged By Univ. OF Florida
Professor Johnson
Speaks OF Proposed
Extension Courses
For Key West Residents


a radar network all around the
State, set up to detect the ap-
prdach and direction of hurricanes,
is one Of the projects Of the uni-
versity Of Florida
Such i radar network would
save time, money and lives, said
DR. j. Stuart Johnson, assistant
dean Of Engineering at the Uni
versity of Florida. who addressed
the Engineers Club hire last
night, during meeting held at
Building SIS, the u. S. N. Seaplane
base.
Johnson pointed out that the
three primary functions Of the
University's work were teaching
and instructing: giving of infor-
nation through educational pro-
grams, and research. It HI under
this last heading that his talk,
Hunting Hurricanes by Radar, !"
belongs.
Experimentation Is always part
of research work. johnson said.
"and 1t lis In this field that new
methods of hurricane detection
were developed. He added that
experimentation may someday
find way to break up the actual
storm area.
johnson outlined the history Of
hurricane hunting, beginning with
the cross loop method developed
by an Englishman, The u. of
Florida was put under contract
to construct a device after send
ing representatives to Great Bri-
tain for study
4 Shortly after the beginning of
World War II. Johnson said. it
was decided that it would be of
advantage to know weather con-
ditions in detail. Research men
were not thinking in terms of hur-
