PEDESTRIANS AND TRAFFIC
Appeals to Motorists to Do Share
. In Current Safety Program

Appeals to Motorists to Do Share
in Current Safety Program
After all, pedestrians are peo-
pie. So give them a break in
traficl"
In those words of ]. James
Ashton, manager of the Delaware
Safety Council appealed to mo-
torists to do their share in max
ing the current pedestrian safety
program of the Delaware Safety
Council and the National Safety
Council a complete success.
ANY effective pedestrian safety
program must have the whole
hearted cooperation of both mo-
torists and pedestrians" he said.
He reminded motorists that
even when the needless conduct
of walkers puts a driver in a
spot, the driver is not justified in
retaliating.
Remember" he said, "the odds
always favor the motorist. A hui
man being is no match for a 81
000-pound vehicle"
Mr.. Ashton believes that most
drivers and walkers display a CO.
operative attitude in traffic. No
pedestrian, he said, deliberately
gets run over, nor does a driver
run a pedestrian down with mall
ice aforethought.
Most difficulties between driv-
ers and walkers result from need
lessness on the part of one or
both, or from a stubborn determ-
ination by soomene to have his
own way" he said.
He advised motorists to make
it a habit to give the walker the
right of way, even when he's not
entitled to it. He also urged
them to be on the alert so that
they can compensate for any
carelessness on the part of walk
ers.
DRIVERS should always slow
down near schools and play
grounds, in residential districts,
and in shopping areas" They
should be especially alert for the
elderly whose reactions are slow
and for children whose youth
makes them impulsive and unpre-
In addition to the usual traf-
fic hazards, he said, special dang
ers are encountered at this time
of year. He listed these as:
1. More hours of darkness.
2. More rain, snow, sleet, and ice.
3. The beginning of holiday
shopping.
Such conditions, Mr.. Ashton
said, mean that motorists should
slow down to counteract reduced
visibility, should guard against
wet and slippery road surfaces,
should be on the alert for pedes-
trians whose vision is obstructed
by bundles or umbrellas.
Constant alertness, plus more
give and less take will go far in
assuring the success of our pedes-
trian safety program"

DENVER, Sept. 13.-The FBI
Is collecting evidence for a Gov
eminent breakdown on Com
munist-controlled labor unions.
This was disclosed by Attorney
General Brownell and FBI Di-
rector j. Edgar Hoover in a joint
! news conference here yesterday
after they reported to President
Eisenhower on plans for enforc-
ing new anti-Communist laws.
Mr.. Hoover also revealed that
he has interviewed some Com
munists who are willing to break
from the party and testify for
, the Government in anti-Red
prosecutions if they are given
immunity as provided in one of
the new laws.
Aim to Destroy Party.
Mr.. Brownell said the Eisen-
hover administrations aim is
to utterly destroy" the Commu-
mist Party and its activities with
in the United States.
He added that the dozen or
so anti-Communist laws passed
by the 83d Congress and signed
by the President in the last
month provide powerful new
weapons to accomplish this OBJ
jective
Mr.. Hoover, in one of his rare
news conference appearances,
told questioners he would well
come in the Governments anti
subversive drive "the support or
the constructive action" that
any Senate or House committee
will take.
Asked if that included SEN
ator Mccarthy, Republican of
Wisconsin who heads the Senate
Permanent Investigating sub
committee, Mr.. Hoover replied
terSely, Includes all commit
tees"
The FB1 director emphasized
that, while Communist Party
membership in this country now
is at its lowest point in several
years, one should not minimize
any of its dangers" He said
they have a group of $4,000
hard-core Communists, with
perhaps 10 fellow travellers for
every party member.

Francis G. Addison, jr., presi-

Mr.. Addison said the council
will provide citizen leadership to
take action wherever necessary
to bring needed civic develop

1T is anticipated that the
organization will be able to &C
complish these objectives by
actively supporting and assist

organizations that are already
concerned with District prob

The council has established

Mr.. Steward said the situation

still far from satisfactory.
'Only when top-level admins

only when this elementary les

tity and quality of production

Mr.. Steward said there were
some questionable practices 60
ing on that need to be watched
carefully.
There have been questionable
practices such as requiring
clearances for positions in the
competitive service even down
to the position of laborer, and
manipulation with the aid of

dict that the Steward-M McNally
team will be reelected despite
a bitter fight on the convention
floor. The opposition group,
which calls itself the Dallas in

springing an upset.
The opposition group declare
that new leadership is essential
to make NEFE a dynamic and
progressive union" On the other
hand, the supporters of Mr.,
Steward and Miss McNally de-
clare that their leadership has
made the NEFE a strong and
effective union on behalf of
Federal workers.
