Safety
Hints

Continuing its all-out safety
program, Chief of Police H. s.
Weaver today issues a list of
thumb-nail reminders. They make
sound reading for pedestrians,
motorists, bicycle riders.
BICYCLES: Riders are under
the same traffic regulations as
motor vehicles, including signals
on turning. Ride in single file.
Walk across the street.
SCHOOL BUS: After October
End it will not be necessary to
stop on a multiple lane, divided
highway when you and a school
bus are headed in opposite direc-
tions. You MUST STOP when
ever the bus is in the same road
way as you are.
HEADLAMPS: Keep them clean.
Use low beam in town. Darker
clothing worn in winter months
make people harder to be seen
after dark. Use headlamp lights
after dark.
MAKING TURNS: The chief
told us there are reports that
motorists, especially those MAX
ing turns-are not yielding right
of-way to pedestrians. He warns
that every other traffic movement
has the right of way over a
turning vehicle. Play fair, signal
a turn, yield right-of-way.
FAILING LEAVES and WET
PAVEMENTS add to driving
hazards. A light foot on the ac-
celerator is the answer. 1t takes
longer to make an accident report
than the time gained in breaking a
speed limit.
JAY WALKERS: Take their
own lives in their own hands when
they cross at other than regular
crossings. The time it takes to
walk to the crossing and cross with
the light is much less than the
time it takes to recover if struck
down by car while jay walking.

Police Carry
Safety Drive
Into Schools

With September and the opening
of school, the Traffic Safety Divi-
sion Of the East Cleveland Police
Department directs its safety en-
phasis toward children.
Scnool patrols, special police de-
tails and regular officers appear
in the vicinity of school grounds.
This vigorous campaign, states
1t. Charles Vyse Of the Safety
Traffic Division centers on pupils
from the kindergartens through
Junior High age. Under the super
vision of Sgt. William Hartford,
Patrolmen Paul Green and John
Mcdonald have distributed 5000
copies of the safety folders de-
signed to cooperate the parents
and the children in this safety
campaign for both public and
parochial schools.
surprising as it may seem, ele-
mentary school age children have
the best safety record in Ohio as
pedestrians, states Chief of Police
H. S. Weaver. This result provides
the perfect example of closely
coordinated education and enforce
ment. Chief Weaver added that if
adults pedestrians did as well as
the younger school age pedestrians,
there would be far fewer pedes-
trians injuries.
As the leaflets are given out,
the officers discuss them with the
children. One point that is being
stressed particularly, both in the
Importance of getting the license
talks and in the booklets, is the
number Of any car in any
of the possible incidents set forth
in the booklet.
With an auto license number TO
work on in cases where the driver
and car are gone by the time
police are notified and can reach
the scene, the task of tracking the
wanted driver is much easier.
Minus a number of some other
definite clue, chances of finding
the person can be pretty slim.
While on this subject of chill
dren and safety, the Traffic Divi-
sion reminds motorists that pre-
school children, without the guild
ance of older children, should in
stantly alert the driver to slow
down. The child may be in front
of the car any second. The driver
must be able to stop quickly.

Have you visited the DOH exhibit
in the Doll and Toy museum Sec
ton of the Western Reserve His
toricaI Society's home on East
blvd? Many of the dolls are of
special interest locally since they
spent their early years in Collamer
now East Cleveland. They are
the gift of Caroline Piercey, de-
scendant of the Behleus family,
early settlers in this section of the
Western Reserve.
Mrs. Piercy is interested in the
establishment of a Children's Mu-
scum at the Society. She believes
that no other museum objects are
as STEPPED in actual living as are
dolls. Victoria, a special doll, sits
in regal state in a case near the
main entrance. There's a book
about Victoria, old in years, ever
young in appearance.

had talked to a few minutes
earlier. She suggested that l

New Crop of DOOr-Watchers.
/ didn't call the consulate
general yesterday afternoon. I
went back in person to find a
whole new crop of door watchers.
One of them submitted himself
to the whole dreary recital and
carefully took down my name
and telephone number. There
must have been some mistake,
he suggested finally. The consul.
Of course. was away, but as soon
as anything turned up. he would
call me.
At this point, the sun was
going down and the lights were
going on in Paris. The deadline
for the flight to Moscow has long

English. Mr.. Nikiforov, I had
heard, spoke no English.
At the consulate the same
sepulchral atmosphere, the same
startled group of black-clad in
mates and a new excuse. The
man behind the desk admitted
he wasn't the consul general,
but he did handle visas. He had
granted many of them to other
correspondents only yesterday.
he said. Now the correspondents
had called back to tell him there
were no planes available to fly
them to Moscow. There was.
therefore. no point in issuing
any more visas. even on the
chance that more planes might
be made available He was sorry.
The Offices at the American
Embassy are not usually open
on Sunday. Yesterday, how
ever. the press Office was open
and doing brisk business.
A check on number Of other
American correspondents in
town showed that all of them
were in exactly the same boat.
Most of them had been working
busily for several days. One
had sent kilograms to every
influential Russian he had ever
met. including the new Foreign
Minister Molotov. None had re-
ceived their visas.

and asked to speak to the Am

my old chum was back on the

The Ambassador, he said, was
unfortunately not available, but
what could he do for me.

told at the consulate general and
asked that if there were any
change in he plane situation
I should be advised. The man
became slightly excited. The
reason they had given me at the
consulate general, he said. was
not a good reason. I should call
them back and tell them that I
would have a special plane if
they would grant the visa.

The third complication was
how to get into Moscow. The
only feasible way seemed to fly
by one of a number of airlines
to Berlin and then try to get
the Russians to take me on from
there. Allowing for flying time
and inevitable delays, would
have to leave Paris by 4 pm. at
the latest.
Flag at Half Mast.
The flag at the Soviet Embassy
was draped at half staff. with
a back ribbon hanging from the
end of the staff. The big dou-
BILE doors entering on the court
yard were shut, and the place
h2d an air of desertion.
The side door, however, was
opened Immediately by a sandy
haired and slightly cross-eyed
Russian. At least six other men
rose from their seats as I walked
in. All of them wore black ties
and dark suits. It reminded you
of an undertaking parlor.
I explained who l was and
asked to see Mr.. Nikiforov, the
press attache. Did l wish to
speak to him personally? / did.
The cross-eyed receptionist led
me to a small sitting room, dom
mated by an oil portrait of the
dead leader. The frame was
draped in red and black. A bas-
ket of Wilted carnations rested
on a table underneath. The
Russian told me to wait and
went out. Shutting the door be-
hind him.
Soon, a man who introduced
himself as the press attache
came in and asked politely what
he could do for me. / explained

The man clucked sympathetic
ally. Usually, he said, there would
be no difficulty whatever. But
it was Sunday and the consulate
general, which handled the is
suing of visas was unfortunately
closed. If had only asked yes
terday perhaps if I went
to the consulate, there might
be some one there who could
help me.

Mr.. O'Conor, who said he was
not previously a member of the

his appointment as its chair

told her to skip it and went to

At 7:30 yesterday morning a
weary voice at the Embassy said
there were no messages for me,
It suggested that call the press
attache, the same Benjamin
Bradlee who once lived in Wash

Sunday morning. Mr.. Bradlee

ing. Stalin's funeral had been
set for this morning. He had
been fighting the battle for days
for various members of the Paris
press corps, and it had been
tough. He suggested I hustle
around TO the Soviet Embassy
and start pitching.
There were three problems.
The first and biggest hurdle
was to get a Russian visa. Rus
sian visas are not easy to come
by in a hurry these days. Usual
ly. if they go through at all, it
takes weeks.
The second problem was to
get a waiver from the State
Department that would let me
travel in Russia. All passports

not authorized to go behind the

can authorities are concerned
