1874 persons were killed in Ohio
traffic during 1851. $50 of these
were in urban areas. But Chief of
Police Gerald J. Sullivan pointed
out that 115,500 injuries, out of
total of 23O,500, occurred on
city streets and 100000 of $4,000
accidents were in our cities.
Motor Manners are the target
for Operation Safety all over the
country during the month of
March. The police chief thinks that
failure to yield right of way prob
ably is the No. motoring discour-
tesy in town.
Ira f fic proceeding straight
ahead has the right of way
whether that traffic is vehicular
or on foot. Yet it is common to
see turning traffic fail to wait
its turn. Vehicles trying to enter
traffic lane from a parking
place, side street or driveway also
are supposed to wait.
Often the impatient driver pulls
into the traffic lane then shifts
gears while at so slow a speed
that all following vehicles have
to slow down to avoid hitting his
car. He is the same fellow who
busts his way through pedestrians
using a crosswalk and parks a
dozen feet beyond the intersection.
1t isn't often that one sees hand
signals given-well ahead of the
point at which the turn or stop
will be made. Too many drivers
rely on their stop light to warn
others that the car is not continu-
ing straight through.
We asked the Chief which was
worse-a left turn from a right
hand lane or a right turn from
left hand lane, and we were a
little surprised by his answer. One
is about as bad as the other. Pass
ing to the right it is permissible
only on streets with four we'll
defined lanes-except that one may
pass to the right of a left turning
vehicle. Most drivers assume a
left turn when car is in the left
lane. If that car suddenly turns
right, overtaking traffic has liter
ally no place to go to avoid a
crash.
1t is in practically the same fix
when left turn is made from the
right hand lane. In either case
if driver finds he is in wrong
lane to make his turn properly, he
can go around the block, or wait
for a break in the following traf-
fic-get into the proper lane. This
would not take more than a min
ute. Even crumpled fender would
produce a longer delay.
The eight-sided yellow sign that
says STOP, means just that. A
slow down and drift into the in
tersection is not stop. Many COM
munities have painted double lines
about feet from, and parallel to,
the cross walk. Vehicles are sup
posed to stop before reaching these
double lines, then proceed into the
intersection when they can do so
without jeopardy to other traffic.
Nearly 1000 lives are too many
to pay for discourteous driving.
The Chief said, eff every driver
would be as courteous as he is in
his home, traffic deaths would be
cut at least in half. Be a gentle
man, if someone is hurrying to
meet his accident, give him all
the room in the world so he does
not involve you too"

Carpet Beetles

Carpet beetles feed largely upon
wool or other materials of animal
origin. They may also feed on cereal
products. Infested articles should be
placed out of doors overnight in sub
zero weather. Keeping lint cleaned
out of cracks is of value in prevent
ing the occurrence of carpet beetle
infestations. Either a percent DOT
or ~ percent chlordane spray is
effective against these Instructors.
Thorough application to and under
rugs, rug pads, in cracks behind
baseboards and particularly on in
tested rugs, hides, upholstery and
furniture should be made. Do not
treat clothing, bedding, beds, mat
tress, pillows or furniture with
chlordane.

they eat or carry away to their nests.
application of 5 percent chlordane
dust or 27S percent chlordane spray
on and around ant nests, ant rum
ways, cupboard shelves, etc, stop
these invasions in short order.
Bedbugs
These parasites Of man and other
warm-blooded animals do most of
their dirty work unobserved at
night. When unexplained bites occur
on the shoulders, the arms or neck,
the presence of bedbugs should be
suspected. The bedding should be
removed and washed, leaving the
mattress. Then thoroughly treat the
bed, mattress, floor, walls, all cracks
and closets of all bedrooms and
adjacent rooms with percent DOT
spray or 10 percent DOT dust.
Clothes Moths
Clothing and other household
goods made of wool, fur, hair or
feathers may be injured by clothes
moths. Neglected materials in stor-
age are often the sources of severe
cloth moths infestations. Unused
clothing should be frequently hung
out of doors particularly in sub-zero
or hot sunny weather. In addition,
clothing should be dry cleaned, then
sprayed with DOT. Infested mate
rails such as upholstery, etc, should
also be sprayed with a 5 percent
DOT.

Clover Mites

These tiny reddish brown house
hold invaders are somewhat like
box elder bugs in that they do no
feeding damage in the house. They
commonly invade houses in the fall
and spring. The best control can be
obtained by spraying around the
house two or three times at Today
intervals during the summer with
a summer oil emulsion. All vegeta-
ton around the house, quite some
distance away from the house, and
particularly lawns should be sprayed.
Tetraethyl pyrophosphate (TEPP)
is also effective against clover mites.
However, this insecticide is dam
gerous if mishandled; therefore, the
precautionary statements on the
label should be read and carefully
followed when it is used.
Spiders
Spiders may be nuisance but n
general they are beneficial The
black widow spider which has 4
shiny, jet-black color with an hour
glass on the underside is the only
poisonous species in Montana. If 4
person is bitten by a black widow
spider a physician should be called
Immediately. A ~ percent chlor-
dane spray applied to the area where
spiders are located will usually take
care of the situation.

Reds Able to Resume Korea Push
But They Were Genuinely Surprised When u NJ Neeootors
Refused Exchange Lives Of so 900 Coptves for Truce
Constantine Brown:

The American negotiators at
Panmunjom report that the
Communists were genuinely sur
prised when they were told
bluntly that we would not agree
to trade the lives of some 50,-
900 Chinese and North Korean
prisoners, who do not want to
be exchanged" for a cease
fire agreement.
The Red negotiators had be-
come accustomed during the
last 10 months to their Ameri-
can counterparts yielding al
most necessarily to all their
demands. When the package"
proposal was offered to them
they were convinced that this
represented only a bargaining
matter and in exchange for
their .renouncing their demand
for Soviet members on the truce
control teams we would surren-
der all the prisoners and refu-
gees who had escaped the bless
ings of life in Communist hands.
The men in the Kremlin who
are actually directing these
negotiations believed that we
would repeat the performance
of 1945 when we light-heartedly
surrendered Gen. Vlasov and all
his men who had deserted from
the Reds and had formed a free
corps fighting Stalin's troops.
They were all hanged. The
MuScoviteS also remembered
that until 1949 we surrendered
all Red army deserters who
came to us because they wanted
to escape the Red tyranny. Be-
fore being executed these men
were paraded in front of their
units carrying huge posters:
"These men deserted to the
Americans and they were re-
turned to us by them"
It is understandable why the
Chinese and North Korean Reds
should have been surprised at
our taking a chance on re-
newed hostilities in order to
keep the pledge we had given
the Communist prisoners that

Eisenhower Faces Crucial Hour in June Press Conference
Which VIII Be Wide Open W ith No Holds Bored

A press conference in Abilene,
Kans., June 4 will furnish the
answers to the gag that is
sweeping America: II like Ike
but what does Ike like?"
An Eisenhower manager re-
Gently returned from Europe
says that the press conference
is planned to follow the dedica-

tion in the generals home town.
1t will, he promises, be wide
open with no holds barred.
A press conference is also on
schedule for Washington imme-
diately following the generals
return from Europe. It is de-
signed, however, as his farewell
to his NATO assignment and
will be confined, SO far as he
can control it, to the story of
the North Atlantic nations.
Since the Eisenhower Sched-
ule calls for a pre-convention
front porch campaign in Den
yer, it appears that there will
not be many chances to see the
general in action before the
Chicago showdown. The Abb
lene press conference therefore
looms as crucial moment in
his campaign.

losses due to speculation, does
not make any distinction be-
tween ventures engaged in with
a hope of profit and those which
are engaged in as a result of
poor judgment.
But the real question is
whether a loan made to a politi-
cal committee can be regarded
as an investment or even as a
business expense on the part of
an individual. Certainly it is
something new to have the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue de-
clare that loans made to a
Democratic political committee
could not have been paid off and
that hence losses could be de-
Quoted on the portion of the
loan which was not reimbursed.

tee is a continuing body. The

nal Revenue in 1948, apparently
We're not paid because the State
Democratic Committee claimed
that it did not have the money
to reimburse the lenders. But it
probably did raise money in
subsequent campaigns through
later contributions.
Every political committee goes
in the hole during a campaign
and usually makes up the de-
f1cit after election. Political
committees of the losing party
have harder time collecting
contributions after election day
than those which are victorious
at the polls. But because politi-
cal committees exist from cam
paign to campaign and have a
certain power to raise money at
all times, it is rather surprising
that the Treasury Department
took the position that, because
the loans had not been repaid,

they would not be handed over
to their masters unless they
wished to go back of their own
free will.
Neither military men nor
diplomats are willing to fore
cast what the enemy's next
move will be. There is no ques-
ton that he has the capability
to resume the offensive. The
Reds are in far better posi-
ton TO-DAY than they were 10.
months ago. The fact that a
new offensive might prove very
costly does not enter into the
calculation of the Red general
staff. If it finds the resistance
too stiff it can always renew
truce negotiations. The staff
members know by now that the
United Nations is anxious to
liquidate the war, provided the
terms are not SO one sided that
the American people will not
accept them.
But since the Kremlin is the
master of all its satellites moves,
the whole Korean question is
far more complex than it ap-
pears on the surface. Korea is
only one of the pawns the Rus
slams are moving on the inter-
national checkerboard. Before
making any further moves
Stain and his aides are looking
at the overall picture. This
covers not only Europe and the
Middle East but also the domes-
tic situation in the United
States.
According to some diplomatic
observers, the formal announce
ment made Wednesday by Will
liam PECK, the East German
puppet president, that the Ger

henceforth have a military force

the Korean situation. This East

anxious that 1t should strike
the right note.
The truth is that while in.
telligent arrangements are inn
portant, the final effect depends
almost entirely on the candidate
himself. A point is reached in
every campaign, for nomina-
tion or election, at which every
thing hinges on what the can
dldate can get out of himself to
persuade the people that he is
their destined leader.
Right now a strange psy-
chology pervades the Eisenhow-
er camp. All his supporters
and they include many diverse
elements-are able to persuade
themselves that he stands for
what they themselves believe.
His general statements - and
most of his statements on pub
lie affairs are very general-are
translated by his admirers into
chapter and verse to demon
Strate that he is on their side.
When the man himself ap-
pears in the flesh to confront
the kind of inquiring audience
that is a commonplace in the
lives of all politicians, including
the President of the United
States, it will be a crucial mo-

hard to associate with the man
who moves about softly and
sedately. This urge is now turn
ing aside. so far as he is con-
cerned, all the reasons against
his candidacy one hears from
practical political leaders that
recently were discussed here.
These relate to his background
of large fortune and a retiring
platform manner that lacks
either the give 'em hell" pyro-
technic quality, on one side, or
the smooth, eloquent and seduc-
tive appeal, on the other, that
we seem to expect now in a can
didate for President.
Privately, as his friends have
learned, Averell Hartman is
most persuasive in stating his
case as it appears to him to fit
the present requirements, both
on foreign and domestic issues.
No man in public life can define
more exactly the problem as he
sees it today. On one hand, the
threat from international Com
munism to us and the free
world, in which he is so thor
oughly grounded from his broad
experience in that field. On the
other, the need in this country
for continuation of basic New
Deal-Fair Deal philosophy to
protect the citizen in his right
to help himself to attain good
life with adequate wages, decent
living conditions, proper educa-
tional and medical facilities,
and freedom from discrimina-

Are Political Gifts Bad Debts?
Capitol Hill Moves Awaited on Closing of Tax LoophoI
As Loans to Democratic Committee Are Revealed
Dovid Lowrence:

Just a few weeks ago some
of the Democratic Senators
were talking about the neces-
sity of closing the "loopholes"
in the tax laws. It will be in
teresting to see how Solicitous
the Senate and House will be
about "loopholes" now that Sem
ator Williams of Delaware has
revealed the curious method by
which campaign contributors to
the New York State Democratic
Committee were able to get q
tax reduction for what appar-
emily vas a political contribu-
ton.
The Federal Corrupt Prac-
tices Act, in barring political
contributions by corporations,
puts loan" in the same cate
CORY as contribution. In the
cases exposed by Senator Will
liams, individuals made loans
to the New York State Demo-
cratic Committee and then
claimed that the loans could not
be repaid in full and hence the
unpaid balances were deductible
as losses. or bad debts, for in
come-tax purposes.
There is no law against an
individual making a loan-or,
for that matter, a contribution
Ito a political committee. But
the question of whether such a
contribution is a legitimate ex-
penSe for the individual is one
that has many novel aspects.
Thus, it is true that many in
dividualS who are engaged in
business make campaign con-
tributions with the expectation
that they will receive govern

party that they support, or the
individual candidate that they
help, wins the election. If their
