Resolutions supporting the pro-
posals of the Second Annual Traf-
fic Court Conference were adopted
by the West Montgomery County
Citizens Association at their meet
ing Monday in the Jamestown
Church.
Director of Public Safety Arthur
E. Miller of Montgomery County
addressed the citizens on the rec
concentrations of the court con-
ference. He said the conference
proposed a full time traffic court
and chief magistrate who would
have charge of fixing the hours
of the judges and other admin
istrative duties to increase effic-
iency of the lower courts.
The conference also urged that
all persons charged with serious
moving traffic offenses be required
to appear in court in person and
not be allowed to forfeit collateral.
Provision of legal means for Sc
curing chemical tests to determine
sobriety of persons charged with
driving while under the influence
of liquor had been urged. Director
Miller said that this very often
provides the evidence to acquit
persons charged uniustly because
of some disease or mental difficulty.

Atlanta Crackers
Eve Television

ATLANTA R - The Atlanta
Crackers hope to get a SIPS, 600
cushion so they can televise some
of their 1858 baseball games.
The Southern Association club
announced recently that it would
allow TV of its Monday and We'd
nesday night games and Sunday
afternoon doubleheaders if the At
lanta Junior Chamber OF Com
merce sells $4,000 "TV-Booster'
ticket books for S. each. The books
contain four tickets good for any
Cracker home games.
Tommy Richardson, president of
the Eastern League, praised the
project and said it was the first
constructive step toward combin-
ing television with minor league
baseball.
He told a Jaycee rally here that
television must live with base
ball in the minors and pay some
compensation to be a partner"
Richardson is member of a
committee studying the effect of
TV on attendance in minor league
cities. Also on the committee is
Sen. Edwin Johnson (D-Colo),
president of the Western League.
Earl Mann, president of the
Atlanta club, said the Crackers
want to televise games to accom-
modate fans.
However, we must be assured
Of enough attendance to warrant
taking the tremendous risk of put
ting our games on the air. >
Atlanta televised all home games
in 1850 when there were,-only a
few TV sets in the area. In 1851
two games a week were telecast.
The club dropped television alto
gether last year.

|Middleweight
Title Picture
To Be Cleared

+ NEW YORK R-The last hitch
to the first match in the new tour
nament to find an American mid
dleweight challenger probably will
be removed today.
Harry Markson of the Inter
national Boxing Club said he ex-
poets to get a cable early this
morning from Jack Solomons, the
London promoter, clearing the way
for a Paddy Young Ernie Durando
match here March 81.
Solomons got into the act be-
cause Young had signed with him
for a fight in London March II
against Randy Turpin, the former
world chamion.
It was understood here that
Walter Cartier, a better than aver
age New York middleweight, had
been offered to Solomons, as re-
placement for Young.
The IBC announced the Young
Durando match yesterday. Several
hours later Solomors, in London,
claimed he had not yet agreed to
release Young from his contract.
Then the IBC had another trans
atlantic conversation with Solo
mons and, Markson said, the
London promoter agreed to send
cable this morning releasing
Young.
The new American tournament,
which replaced an unavoidable IL
man competitor, calls for the win
ner Of the Durando-Y Young battle
to fight Carl (Bobo) Olson of San
Francisco for the American title.
When last heard from, Olson and
his manager, Sid Flaherty, were
violently opposed to this routine,
claiming they already had fight
for the "world title" with Turpin
in London June 8.
Solomons and Flaberty met sew
eral times while the British pro-
moter was in this country last
week. But since ne has been home
SolomonS hasn't said anything
signed Olson.
Olson has been told, indirectly
but in strong terms. that he better
give up any ideas of bypassing the
American Examinations unless he
wants TO be bypassed right out of
the title picture.
Speaking at New York boxing
luncheon yesterday, Abe Greene,
commissioner Of The National Box
ing Association, threatened that the
MIA, working with the New York
State Boxing Commission, might
recognize a fight between Turpin
and Charles Humez of France for
the world title if American fighters
continue to set up impossible
barriers. +"
Here is the way the tournament
probably will end up;
Durando VS.. Young at Madison
Square Garden March q.
Olson VS.. the Durando- Young
winner somewhere outside New
York in May.
Turpin VS.. Humez at London
June with Solomons claiming it
as a world title fight"
The Turpin-Humez winner VS..
the remaining American at New
York ball park in September with
everybody agreeing to call the
winner the world champion.

Eisenhower's First Day As President

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower started his first work ing day in the White House today by receiving his attorney general designate, Herbert Brownell, Jr., who called to talk official busi- ness"
 Dawn had just broken when a sleepy-eyed Brownell showed up at Eisenhower's White House of flee. The time was TAT a.m., six hours after the new President got home from yesterdays inaugural festivities.
 Brownell told reporters he couldn't discuss" whether it was the congressional controversy over Eisenhower's choice for De- fense Secretary Charles E. Will son, that prompted the visit.
 Brownell told the Senate Arm ed Services Committee Monday that he would study the facts in the Wilson case before coming up with a public statement of his views on the situation.
 Many senators have baked at approving the prospective appoint ment of Wilson because of a law which prohibits government of ficialS with cOntract-making pow CTS from holding financial in terests in companies holding gov ernment contracts.
 Wilson, who resigned as presi- dent of General Motors to take the top defense job, has declined to sell his 212 million dollars worth of GM stock because it would mean a heavy financial loss under present tax laws. General Motors is the biggest defense con- tractor the government has.

Jeep, Plugging for Road
 Nenana-Fairbanks, Rolled In Try at Wilderness Drive

FAIRBANKS, R-A five-man 'safari," foiled in it's first attempt to drive a jeep through the 6O- mile, unbroken wilderness from Nenana to Fairbanks, was back yesterday ready to "saw their way here"
 The expedition, sponsored by the Nenana Chamber of Com merce in an effort to prove that a highway link between the two cities is feasible, set out from Nenana Saturday morning. The group, led by Harold An derson, Nenana chamber presi- dent, vowed it'd be in Fairbanks by Sunday. Instead, their jeep's radiator was punctured in the dense forest the first day out and the men had to sleep out Satur- day night in sub-zero weather.
 They detoured to the Alaska Railroad, caught a train and ar rived here Sunday. Then Monday, they chartered a plane to make an aerial survey of the route, bought a power saw and returned Monday night to try it again.
 The Nenana chamber long has sought road link with Fairbanks and the Alaska Highway system.

TAX REDUCTION IN 1853?

It is interesting to note that the chief Republican spokesman on taxes in the House, Rep Daniel Reed, of New York; and the Speaker of the House, Rep. Joe Martin, of Mass have both designated bill low ering taxes H.R,1' That means HR.1 is slated for early action in the lower body of Congress- the first bill in order of business.
 This bill, sponsored by Rep. Reed would lower income taxes about eleven per cent for most people at the end of June 30 1853 In addition to this taxower- ing bill, many other tax reduction bills have been introduced though the Reed bill is certain to be con- sdered by the House.
 There has been much speculation, from both Re- publican and Democratic sources on the question of tax reduction this year Spokesmen for both parties have claimed that tax reductions in 1853 were not likely because of huge defense expenditures already planned and tentatively approved On the other hand, there members of the House and Senate who feel that tax reductions be effected this year. if economies are invoked in the necessary places with the necessary vigor

Eisenhower To Hold
 Weekly News Conferences

WASHINGTON, R-The White House announced today that President Eisenhower will hold news conferences regularly, pro- bably once a week.
 James Hagerty, press secretary, said they would be conducted in the same fashion as were the news conferences in recent Demo cratic administrations - that is with imprCmptu questions from the reporters present.
 There had been some published, reports that Eisenhower might re- quire that all questions be sub mitted in writing in advance.
 Hagerty also announced that Eisenhower is thinking about es- tablishing a custom of periodical reports to the nation by television and radio.

CAA LISTS AIR TOLL

The Civil Aeronautics Board recently announced that about 1000 civilians killed in air accidents in 1912 Interestingly the toll taken in private flying accidents much greater than that in scheduled air line accidents
 The Board estimated the number of persons killed in private flying accidents during 1852 at between 600 and $50. Compared to this it estimated the deaths resulting from commercial transport operation (sched- uled nonscheduled and cargo nes) at 200 passengers and 25 crew members. Nineteen persons were killed on the ground in these accidents.
 The total of 245 deaths significantly lower than the 1851 total which 328 deaths It thought that the number of deaths caused from military air craft accidents increased during 1952 although the Defense Department says figures on accidents deaths etc, secret. Until the Defense Department releases information to show otherwise the impression will main that military flying accidents increased consider ably during the year.

IKE'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS
 WAS OF AVERAGE LENGTH

WASHINGTON, R-DWlght ID. Eisenhower's prepared inaugural address is approximately 2,250 words long, which is about aver age.
 The shortest was just 133 words long, the longest about 10000.
 George Washington authored the briefest when he took the oath the second time March 4, 1793, at Philadelphia.
