IL. ). Pushes Forward
Plan for Europe Army;
Urgency Is Stressed
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

ROME. Nov. 29.-The United
States today threw its full diplo-
matte weight behind efforts to
push forward plans for q 43-di-
vision European army.
High officials who attended the
|NATO Council meetings that
ended here yesterday said the
United States is extremely eager
to have a treaty outlining precise
plans for this international force
ready for the next council meet
ing, opening in Lisbon next Febru-
airy 2.
Urgency Stressed.
They feel this is urgent because:
l. The European nations will be
preparing their 1852 budgets just
after the turn Of the year. Un-
less appropriations for European
army forces are made. the six
nation effort to build up an inter-
national force to defend Europe
will be delayed again.
2. If negotiations drag on, West
Germany is expected to show in
creasingly less interest in partici-
patton.
THE situation in Germany will
not remain fluid indefinitely" was
the way one diplomat put It.
/. Ofiicials do not minimize the
difficulties lying ahead. Little
progress was made in these w
hard problems" at the NATO
meeting which just ended, they
say, except to lay the issues
squarely before the member gov
ernments and spur the powers to
swift consideration Of them.
Basic Problems Seen.
The basic problems ahead are
/. Establishment OF a long
range plan to restore a high de-
gree of sovereignty to defeated
West Germany, thus assuring heI
cooperation.
you cannot achieve an effec-
tive military position in Europe
without Germany" senior officials
contended.
2. Achievement Of q French
German agreement on the form
the German forces will take
France wants a European army
primarily as "a containing ele-
ment," to insure against the re-
birth of a national German army
3. To reconcile the French de-
sire for a supernatural Euro
pean parliament with single top
boss and the Benelux nations de-
sire to limit the powers Of any
supra national authority.
The American view is that
when the European powers quit
talking in abstract language and
get down to putting plans for q
European defense community
and a European army-on paper,
the two views will not be too
difficult to reconcile.

e. 0. P. Spurns Idea
I0f Joint Plea for Probe
I'm Dickinson Election
BY the Assoeioied Press

CLINTWOOD, Va, Nov. %
Dickinson County Republicans
have turned down a Democratic
suggestion that both parties join
in asking for special grand jury
investigation Of the disputed
November 6 general election.
Bana Willis, G.. o. P. chairman.
put the refusal this way in answer
ing a letter from E. r. Beverly.
County Democratic chairman:
f "At the March, 1852 term (of
COURT, after the facts are as
sembled, we hope to present to
the judge of our court facts so he
can properly instruct grand jury
and it can do a job of which good
citizens can be proud rather than
performing whitewash job which
will only result in freeing many
felons"
Delivery of Charges Questioned.
Meanwhile Democrats yesterday
asked the county circuit court to
throw out G. O. P. attack against
the election of County Clerk
Charles P. Mullins. They claimed
Mr.. Mullins was not delivered a
copy of the charges within the
time required by law.
The sheriff's Office said it had
tried to serve the document on
Mr.. Mullins. but left it at his
house when it developed he was
out Of town. Mr.. Mullins coun-
tered that the house was not his
legal residence.
The G. o. P. petition against
Mr.. Mullins says he is not q
legal resident of Virginia.
G. o. p. Sheriff Challenged.
The Republicans are also con-
testing the results Of three other
major county races they lost.
They accuse the Democrats Of
bribery, improper registration and
absentee voter law violations.
The Democrats have countered
with a suit contesting the re-
suits Of the sherif1's race. the
only one they lost. They claim
the Republicans used money and
whisky to influence the election
and also tried to intimidate elec-
ton officials.
Both parties have until Satur-
day to answer the court petitions
against them.

Mr.. Reeder's discussion of speed
coincided with the Delaware Safety

tion, which has as its slogan:

Reeder said, "about 5000 traffic
accidents in which at least one per-
son is killed involve a speed viola
tion of some sort. This is the
price that drivers can expect to
pay if they forget, or ignore, the
fact that dangerous speed is any

ditions are such as to cancel out an
appreciable part of the drivers

SPEED KILLS;
TAKE IL EASY
]. d. Reeder President Della
ware Safety Council
Urges Caution
HOW FAST is FAST?
''How fast is fast ?"

How fast is fast 2"
This question, according to John
D. Reeder, President of the Della
ware Safety Council, probably
arouses more widely divergent
opinion among drivers than any
other traffic safety topic.
''When such marked difference
of opinion exists" Mr.. Reeder said,
''it is obvious why so many traffic
accidents each year involve speed
violation"
A dangerous number of motor
lists, he said, feel that "too fast" is
some sort of definite speed limit
above which the laws of physica
determine that a driver cannot be
depended upon to have complete
control of his car.
ACTUALLY" Mr. Reeder, said
too fast may be any speed from
10 miles an hour to 100 miles an
hour. We can't just arbitrarily
say that 80, 20, 60 or so miles an
hour is too fast and let it go at
that. There are times and places,
for instance, when 80 miles an hour
may not be an excessive speed at
ala supervised race course, for
example. Even more often than
this, however, there are times and
places when 20 miles an nour may
be -literally-fatalm
Mr.. Reeder's Interpretation of
the problem was based on the the
ory that weather, road surfaces,
mechanical factors and the drivers
physical and mental condition are
the real determining factors in the
problem of what is safe speed
and what speed is dangerous.
POSTED speed limits" he said,
"give only the top speed at which
enforcement and engineering ofic-
ials feel travel is safe under ideal
weather, physical and mechanical
