Check Your Muffler
AS Safety Move

A warning to Blutfton area motor
lists to inspect their mufflers was is
sued during the last week by state
highway patrolmen after reports had
been received of occupants of auto
mobiles being overcome by exhaust
fumes.
In one case in Toledo, two and
one-half-year-old child, died as the
result of asphyxiation from motor
fumes. An inspection disclosed that
the muffler of the automobile in
which the child was riding was
leaking, and fumes were pulled into
the car by the heater.
Many automobile heaters will fill
cars with carbon monoxide gas if the
muffler is leaking or is otherwise
defective, it was pointed out by
authorities. Accidental deaths from
such causes run higher than is com
monty thought, the motoring public
was warned.

Owen baltimore Pleads
mot Guilty" To Charges
Of Communist Sympathies

WASHINGTON, up - Owen
baltimore loudly declared mot
guilty." Friday in answer to a
seven-count perjury indictment
based on his sworn denial Of
Communist sympathies.
The two words-almost shout
were all baltimore said during
a brief court proceedings, but his
attorney, Thurmond Arnold, had
plenty to say about publicity the
case has received.
The judge gave baltimore until
Feb. Is to file motions attacking
the indictment returned Tuesday
by a grand jury, charging he lied
when he denied to senators he
had been Communist sympath-
izer or promoter of Communist
interests.
Edward F. Hummer, Justice
Department attorney who had pre-
sented the case of the grand jury,
suggested that baltimore 'fbe re-
stricted to the District of Column
bia and Maryland. Judge Kirk
land spoke up:
''Mr. baltimore, you may go
anywhere in tn world but be back
on the date of trial"
Attorney Arnold asked that the
judge admonish the Department
of Justice for newspaper stories
dealing with the case, but the
judge refused. He said he would
not admonish the Justice Depart
ment or the press generally, but
that if there was contempt of
court it would be dealt with sum-
marily.

Truman Defends
Foreign Policies
OF Administration

WASHINGTON, (P)-President
Truman stoutly defended Friday
the foreign policies of his seven
years in the White House and de-
clared they have produced "a sit
uation in which it should be clear
to the Soviet leaders that they
cannot gain their detectives by
the use of force"
eve have demonstrated to the
Communists that their expansion
list efforts will be checked" the
President said, adding:
"They know this nation is be-
coming strong. They know the
strength and unity of the free ma
tons is mounting. They can gain
nothing from war but catastro-
phe."
Truman conceded there have
been in his administration some
mistakes and a few failures in
international relations, but he
said those who criticize such
losses as the fall of China to the
Reds rarely look at the whole
balance sheet.
1--WE need not be panicky to-
day about the state of the world"
he said. eve are not on the losing
side. The world is not about to
collapse around u.s."
Il believe. the Communists were
bent on testing the authority of
the United Nations and the
strength of the free countries, by
force, sooner or later. If the test
had not come in Korea, it would
have come somewhere else.
IF we failed to meet the test
there, the free world today might
well be in retreat before Com
munism on a dozen other fronts !.
