Policeman, 7 Others
Injured as Car Rams
Alexandra Cruiser

An Alexandra policeman was
burned and two other men
were injured-one Of them criti-
cally-When a car smashed into
the rear Of a police cruiser that
was escorting a disabled truck
tractor on Shirley highway last
night.
The policeman, Pvt. Charles
Gallagher, %, of 900 East Glen
dale avenue, driver of the
cruiser, was admitted to Alexan-
dria Hospital with burns on his
face and legs, and a broken
finger.
2 i'm Car Injured.
Admitted in critical condition
was Raymond ]. Henley. jr., 20.
of 307 Eleventh street S.W., who
police said was driving the car
that struck the cruiser. A pas
senger in the car, Joseph Aylor,
%, of 1902 South Buchanan
street, Arlington, was admitted
with cuts and bruises.
The crash occurred around 10
pm. on Shirley highway be-
tween Seminary road and Duke
street.
Pvt. Gallagher had been sent
to investigate an abandoned
truck tractor loaded with con-
crete pipe at the side of the
highway. Police said he decided
to have the tractor taken to the
police property yard, and was
following in his cruiser with red
lights flashing as the tractor
was towed along the highway.
Driver Swerves Onto Grass.
Police, said Douglas Fallin, Is,
of 802 N. Barton street, Arling-
ton, was following the police car
and saw a vehicle approaching
from the rear at high speed.
Young Fallin swerved his car
into the center grass plot to
avoid being struck, and the on
coming car-driven by Henley
smashed into the rear of the
cruiser, police said. -
The police cruiser was tele-
scoped against the rear of the
disabled tractor and burst into
fame.
Henley was charged with driv-
Ing while drunk, reckless driving
and destroying public property.

The commission wants to es-

doubt that it has the authority
to grant concessions there.
The train, modelled after the

construction and is powered by a
four-cylinder gasoline engine.
The company which would estab-
lish the trains on a concession
basis also would construct a track

The Veterans Administration
has begun writing to the survivors
of more than $500 deceased Serv-
icemen to inform them Of the ben
efitS which may be available to
them under law. The letters are
going to the survivors of ~ervice-
men who have been carried by the
Armed Forces as missing in ac-
ton in Korea for a year or more
and now been declared to be pre-
sumed dead as of December 81,
1858.
All appropriate notices and forms
needed in connection with apply
ing for death compensation, serv-
icemen'S indemnity or insurance
benefits are being mailed with the
letters of advice to beneficiaries
VA emphasized that the letters
are being mailed to all bencficiar-
les as rapidly as advice is received
from the armed forces and that
beneficiarieS will save time if they
will await receipt Of these letters
rather than writing VA concerning
these benefits.
In all these cases, the Army OF

ton of death.

Korean Vets Must Enter College

not sufficient. Veterans will be

represented in Jacksonville in
comparison with other cities and
areas. This area has almost one
and one-third the proportion Of
insurance agents and brokers as
the rest of the country, and one
and one-fourth times the national
ration of architects.
In a foreword to the guide.
Leon J. ObermaYer. Chairman of
the B'nai Birth Vocational Ser
vice Commission. offers the fol-
lowing counsel to trained young
people about to embark upon
their careers: TOO often profess
sionallY trained young people set
tie in their home towns simply
because of bonds Of friendship
and family. Often the home town
offers relatively poor opportuni-
ties to get started professionally
despite many contacts. The i'm
pact of this fact may not be felt
for a year or more because begin
ners generally assume that the
first few years will be an uphill
climb and therefore be hard and
lean. Had they settled at the OUT
set in a more favorable locality.
they would not have suffered the
loss of time and income in making
false start in their home towns"
In five fields the Jacksonville
area closely parallels the national
average. These are accounting.
law, dental technology, veterinary
medicine, and real estate. For
every 10000 persons in the Jack
sonville area, there are 20 &C.
countants and auditors, Is law
yers, 2 dental technicians, l vet

and brokers.

about 20 occupations in almost zoe
