Pedestrians Catch On
As New Traffic Plan
Tests Away Walk
BY ChorIes J. Yorbrouqh

The Washington version of the
Barnes dance" a traffic in
novation which permits the
pedestrian to stalk across on a
red light and grin at halted
autos. still puzzled the uniniti-
ated at Eleventh and F streets
NV. today.
It's called the Barnes dance
because a man of that name
conceived the idea in Denver,
st. Louis or some place. In his
case, it meant pedestrians could
even walk diagonally across the
intersection.
Stay in Walk Lane.
The Washington version is
slightly more restricted and con-
fines the walker strictly to the
walk lanes. but it has promise
The system. which began
operation about pm. yester-
day, simply means that every
So seconds, traffic lights on all
four corners flash red and stay
that way for "a seconds. the
total emancipation period for
the pedestrians. AS the lights
flash red, the walk" signs
turn on.
Even Wallace L. Braun. dep
uty traffic director, admitted the
great opportunity for early con-
fusion until pedestrians catch
on. He watched the operation
more than an hour yesterday
and came away convinced it's
going to be a good thing.
Just Go by Reading Matter.
Biggest point of confusion is
that when vehicular traffic gets
the green light, the don't walk"
signs flash on. A young girl,
who almost walked into the path
of a turning bus which had a
green light and she had don't
walk" probably explained it
best to her equally youthful
companion
whats the matter" she
snapped. Cant you read? The
lights green!"
Two women, irritated by heat
and the light reading. made two
false starts against the green
light and "aon't walk" sign, then
retreated to the curbing.
Il guess the signals don't
count" one of them muttered.
Its what the sign says
Every Second Counts.
StatiStically:
Auto traffic on F street has
% seconds to roll. as does that
on Eleventh. The pedestrian, if
average, will walk four feet per
second, and he'll have to scuttle
to cross the so feet on F. street,
turn and walk the 40 feet on
Eleventh in one walk" period
of "a seconds.
The installation, only one in
town thus far. means that the
pedestrian waits So seconds to
walk. Under the former opera
ton, he waited 40.
One of the early fans of the
system was Capital Transit In
6pector Harold Nichols, who
helped Traffic Policeman r. M.

7 Missing ConVicts Found
In Penitentiary Movie
BY the ASsoeiofed Press

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 25.-Two
"trouble-making" young convicts
were flushed in the movie pro-
lection room of the United States
Penitentiary here today 1872
hours after they dropped from
sight and precipitated a hectic
search.
1--WE just wanted to cause the
officers some trouble" Warden
w. H. Hiatt quoted Edward Tib-
benS, %, one of the two, as say
ing. Tibbens is from Harris
burg, Pa.
But Max B. Heinrich, %, of
Richmond. Va, Tibbens' COM
panion, is the real trouble
maker" the warden reported.
Warden Hiatt explained that
Heinrich had served in three
Federal prisons and had a rec
ord of hiding out for hours at a
time in. each. Their latest esca-
pade, he said, will be turned over

tion in view.

terms on stolen car charges. Tib-
bens had only eight months to

Newspaper Mechanics
Called Harder Problem
By the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, Aug. 25.-News-
paper mechanical departments
are facing their toughest chal-'
lenge in history" the production
manager of the Washington Post
declared yesterday.
Harry Eybers attributed in
creasing difficulties to rising
newspaper costs and cheaper per
unit production costs of tele-
vision, magazines and other
competing media. He addressed
$50 delegates to the Southern
Newspaper Mechanical Confer
ence, Eastern division.
He cited the preoccupation Of
movies and television with color
and said that newspapers, to
keep pace, must increase the
use of color in advertising and
news pictures.

Increase in Tariff
On Rosaries Opposed
By the Asseeiated Pres.

The Federal Tariff Commits
sion has ruled that roSaries are
not being imported into this
country in such volume as to
require an increased tariff.
The commission made it's rul-
ing after an investigation called
for by G. Klein and Son Co..
of New York and the H. M. H,
Co., Inc, of Pawtuckett, r. l..
The two companies produce
about 95 per cent of American
made rosaries.
The 1880 Tariff Act put tar
III of so per cent of their value
on rosaries. This was reduced
to 80 per cent in 1886 recipro-
cal trade agreement with France.
In the 1851 trade agreements
the duty on rosaries made at
least partly of precious metals
or precious stones was reduced
to Is per cent of declared value.
The two United States rosary
makers contended their business
was being damaged by imported
roSaries coming principally
from Germany and Japan. They
asked a return to the 1880 rate
of so per cent.

Truman Talks 10 DAV.
On Restraining Soviet
BY the Asseciated Press

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 25.-
Former President Truman told
the Disabled American Veterans
yesterday they know why a Econ-
tainment policy was necessary"
to keep the Russians from run
ming over the world.
Greeted by a 30-second stand
ing ovation from the 1000 dele
gates at the 32d national conven-
ton. the former President told
the veterans they knew that
force was necessary to beat to-
talitarianism today just as it was
in the days of Hitler and Musso-
lini.
After World War II, Mr.. Tru-
man said, the United Nations
offered hope toward a peaceful
settlement of world problems
without war. However. he COM
mented, Russia blocked 256 con-
ferences on atomic power despite
offers by the United States for
international control" of our
secrets.
Since the end of that war, he
said. the United States has been
trying to defend the entire free
world. and those making the
greatest contribution for that
free world were American SOL
diers.
During his talk he commended
the job Gen. Omar Bradley did
in reorganizing the Veterans Bu-
reau after World War II. He
told the gathering Gen. Bradley
did a great job as chief Of staff
and added: Don't let any one
tell you different"

U. 5. Will Oppose Arabs
In j. n. on Morocco
By the Asseeieted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 25.-The United States
will oppose an Asian-Arab de-
mand for consideration of the
Moroccan situation by the U. N,
Security Council, a spokesman
said today.
This virtually dooms the pro-
poSal to defeat. Britain and
France already are known to
be against consideration of the
question and one or two other
members are expected to vote in
the negative or abstain. Seven
affirmative votes are required to
put the question on the lima
ton councils agenda.
The council meets tomorrow
afternoon.
The Asian-Arab bloc sought
unsuccessfully in 1851 to bring
the issue before the Security
Council. On that occasion, the
United States abstained and the
question failed to get the re-
quired seven votes.
The Asians and Arabs blamed
the United States for their fail
ure. They later brought the is
sue to the 60-nation General
Assembly.
The United States delegation
gave no explanation as to why
negative vote would be cast
this time instead of the absten-
ton. A spokesman said only
that the. United States would
vote no on the ground that the
Moroccan issue was not felt to
be a threat to international
peace and security.

specialist was quickly located
in a remote section of Colorado
yesterday after aid of news serv-
ices and radio networks was en-
listed by author cartoonist

eye wife has led me around for
years" He took a room adjoin-
ing hers in the hospital, because
of his inability to get about
without her aid.

JET Crashes in Virginia;
Pilot Can't Be Found
BY the Associated Press

FRANKLIN, Va, Aug. 25.-An
F-84 Thunderjet fighter, lunging
out of control while rocketing
along at better than 500 miles
per hour, plunged into a woods
near here yesterday and was
smashed to pieces.
Today. Air Force investigators
were sitting through the wreck
age in an effort to identify the
craft beyond doubt as an F-84
listed as missing from nearby
Langley Air Force Base.
The missing Thunderjet took
off from Langley, piloted by 1t.
Walter P. Biagoni, 20. of Bridge
port, Conn.,, at ala pm. (EDT)
only 46 minutes before the ex-
plosive crash.
Despite the apparent evidence,
however, Air Force authorities
declined to say definitely that
the crash involved the jet craft.
No one saw the pilot bail out
when the jet rammed the earth
5 miles southeast of here. So
complete was the wreckage that
today no large piece of the plane
had been found, nor had the body
of its pilot.
