Travellers Notebook
Rodor Already Is Catching Speedy Vocotioner
And More States Plan to Adopt 1t
By Jacques FutrelIe. Jr.
The Stur's Iroxel Editor

one traffic fatality has been re-
corded. Some States must change
their laws to bring about speeding
convictions, and this they seem
ready to do. For instance, some
State or city laws specify that a
motoriSt must be paced for GER
tain distance before an officers
testimony will stand up in court.
Radar will even catch a squirt
of speed to pass an annoying driver
or to break up a dangerous group
ing of cars. Such emergencies as
this, the robot radar cannot under
stand. It simply records the speed,
and quite accurately. But danger
Gus speeds in present-day highway
travel and tragic deaths argue
that the motorist-and for the
purposes of this column, the vaca-
ton bound driver-must learn to
live with the speed-recording de-
vice.
How 1t Works
The public is generally &C
quainted with the featS radar per-
forms for ships and planes. But
just what sort of a trap do people
drive into to be caught by the
radar speed detector?
The equipment usually used is a
group of three boxes, placed at
some point in the road SO that
the eye of the radar scans on
coming traffic.
The transmitter receiver is
about IL by IL by Z inches and
weighs II pounds. The indicator
amplifier is 9 by 9 by 6 inches, and
about half that weight. A power
unit weighs 10 pounds and is 10
by 5 by 4 inches.
The speed of car can be read
directly by an officer from a meter,
or the pace will be marked as a
jagged line on a graphic recorder.
For actually making arrests, at
least two officers are required for
roadside installations K one to
watch the speed recorder and
another. farther along the road,
who is warned by radio to watch
for and flag down the offending
speeder.
There is no arguing with the
recorded speed. The only argu-
ment the motorist has is whether
it was justified or whether it was
only a momentary transgression.
Those points need some selling.
Whether or not disguised radar
traps will be operated by the vari-
Gus authorities depends somewhat
on the police themselves. on public
sentiment and the pressures that
drivers can build up against en-
trapment methods. 1t would be
easy for authorities to hide the
equipment successfully. In fact,
only the seeing eye" of the radar
itself need be exposed, and this
could be camOuf1aped

Student-Teach Plan
Draws New Attacks

Use of student teachers in the
Districts teacher emergency would
be unfair, according to a professor
at Miner Teachers College.
DR.. Paul Cooke, who also is an
official of Local q, American Fed
Grafton of Teachers, told a forum
last night the move would be un.
fair both to the students and to
their pupils.
Board of Education leaders last
week proposed using some Miner
seniors for temporary teaching
duties to meet the shortage Of
Negro teachers here. School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning objected but
said he would study the idea.
DR.. Cooke said he was opposed
to the plan because it would
infringe on the education of the
students" at Miner and also
might not give education up to
the standard to the school chill
dren."
DR.. Walter E. Hager, president
OF Wilson Teachers College, also
opposed the suggestion. He told a
reporter it would be unfair to the
college students because they
wouldn't be paid.
Both DR.. Cooke and DR.. Hager
spoke before a meeting at Asbury
Methodist Church last night. DR..
Cooke advocated creation of a
city-wide, commission to help pave
the way for the end of racial
segregation here.

President Truman laid the cor

Presbyterian Church sanctuary in
Alexandria yesterday and used the
occasion to scoff at those who say
religion is dying in this country.
"They have not consulted the
statistics. The facts are that the
church memberships are growing. y
But he cautioned church men,
bers about too much satisfaction
in the physical growth of their
religious institutions.
Our churches must keep pace
not only with the changes in our
physical development, but also
and more Importantly, with our
changing social problems. Our
churches must not become a place
to hide from the facts of the world
about us, nor mere badge of So
cial respectability. Too often our
churches have been blind to their
nost important function. which is
to bring about the application of
religious principles in our daily
lives and in our work. We must
all wage ceaseleSs war against
injustice in our society. The
churches in particular are a force
which should fight for brother
hood, and decency, and better
lives for all the people"
400 Members Attend.
Some 400 members of the
church, at 2701 Cameron Mills
