an earlier appearance and to Q
different way in his answers to-
day.
Time after time he fired the
same question at Mr.. Stevens:
did you order these charges
prepared?"
Mr.. Stevens insisted that he
took full responsibility for the
charges and at one point said
bluntly, Eyes, ] ordered it."
Senator Mccarthy recited the
Secretary's testimony earlier,
saying he did not know who or
dered the Army report prepared
and demanded to know:
Were you telling the truth
then or now?"
Mr.. Stevens, appearing rested

Arlington Housewife
Pushes Safety Drive
Mrs Everett Now Cooperating
In Education of Pedestrians
BY Ruth Deon

The curiosity. enthusiasm and
tireless effort Of an Arlington
housewife has embarked Arling-
ton County citizens groups on a
campaign Of safety conscious
ness that may well serve as a
model for other counties.
She is Mrs. Randall w. Ev-
erett, jr., safety chairman for
the Northern Virginia Federation
Of Women's Clubs. who last week
was cited at the General Fedora
ton Of Women,s Clubs conven-
ton in Denver for her leader
ship and organization Of safety
projects In Arlington County.
Last September, Mrs. Everett
and O group Of club women
walked into the Office of Carlisle
Johnstone, director Of the De-
partment Of Public Safety for
Arlington, and offered to do
whatever they could do to make
Arlington more safety conscious
and cut down traffic fatalities.
A few weeks went by and no
word from Mr.. JohnStone. So
Mrs. Everett went back again,
armed with 9-point program
the clubwomen intended to carry
out If the department would CO.
operate.
Recalling the incident. Mrs.
Everett said with her pleasant
Southern drawl." "he (Mr. john
stone) thought we didn't mean
1t the first time we came to see
Evening star., 1954-06-06

him, but he knew we meant
business the second time"
From there on. the campaign
was in the clubwomen's hands,
with the cooperation of the
safety department and the traf-
fic safety bureau, under the di-
rection Of 1t. Frank Palmer of
the Arlington police.
Riding around in unmarked
police cars. the clubwomen noted
speed violations in school zones,
conducted brake tests and made
a list of side street traffic haz-
ards. They also promoted q
bumper strip slogan campaign.
sponsored q popular men VS..
women driver contest and hit the
air waves with q local 15-minute
weekly radio program on safety.
The radio program was q new
venture for Mrs. Everett.
She said the thought Of it at
first scared me to death" be-
cause she had never done any
script writing or talked over q
microphone.
"It had never occurred to me
it would be my baby" she said.
II really had to do some tall
working, try to make it sound
like someone else talking"
"Then I got smart and learned
I could have guest speakers"
she added with q laugh.
With the same untiring en-
ergy she put into the driver
safety program. Mrs. Everett is
now tackling another one aimed
at the pedestrian.
The new program In being
launched today. This week has
been proclaimed Pedestrian
Safety Week" In Arlington. The
effort is being sponsored jointly
by the Arlington Federation of
Women's Clubs. the Northern
Virginia Association Of 1nSur-
ance Agents. the Arlington Min
isterial Association, the Arling-
ton Safety Council and the Re-
tail Gasoline Dealers Associa-
ton.
The club women will carry on
the campaign throughout the
summer in cooperation with the
Arlington police and the safety
department.
Mrs. Everett is again riding
around in a police car. this time
to check pedestrian law viola
tions at key points and to note
where conditions might be i'm
proved to protect the pedestrian
against right and left-hand turn
ing traffic.
There are several spots in Ar
lington. right now, she en-
phasized, where you take your
life in your hands" every time
you cross the street.
The whole trouble seems to lie
in the fact that people here
are parking, shopping and walk
ing small-town way and driving
big-city way" she said.
Ignorance of pedestrian laws
in Arlington accounts for the
high percentage Of jay walking
in Mrs. Everett's opinion. Some
of my safety chairmen didn't
even know we had those laws"
she said.

during the summer campaign
and then crack down on violatQrs

Mrs. Everett is matter-of fact
about what she has done-"some-
one had to do It," she says. But
the true worth of her efforts may
be measured by the praise OF
those with whom she has worked

has received.

No one has higher praise for
Mrs. Everett than Mr.. Johnstone

a Trojan" he said last week. "She
lives, breathes and eats safety;

tie different from those taken

Practical Details Annoy.
Getting the machinery Of a
convention started usually has
many small and sometimes an
noying items. This meeting isn't
an exception to the rule.
One of these is the inevitable
convention picture. 1t was taken
during the first business session
on Wednesday, and there were
the usual delays involved in get
ting the delegates in place and
keeping them still.
Once the photographer sig
nailed all was over, DR.. Frank
lin Clark Fry. president of the
denomination, quipped, 1--WE ale
now free from the bonds of pub
lie relations"
Another timekiller was nomi-
nations from the floor. Speakers
could not be heard clearly unless
they used a microphone, and
most delegates thought of using
it only after being reminded.
This happened so many times
that DR.. Fry finally told them,
IF any one feels nomination
coming on, please edge towards
the microphones."
One short delegate got to
microphone and finding it way
above his head, plaintively asked,
What giant was using it?"
Delegates Learn About Women.

TORONTO, Canada, Oct. g.
This is the first time the United
Lutheran Church of America has
met in Canada, and Canadians
have gone out of their way TO ne
sure the occasion will be memo
rable.
Beside the effort every one is
making to see that the .Ameri-
cans are well taken care of,
there are several things part of
the scene here to imprint Toron-
to upon a firSt-time visitors
memory.
One is the meeting place. It is
in a large department store
Eaton's. There is a most attrac-
tive and comfortable auditorium
on the stores seventh floor, suit
able for gatherings of approx
mately 1000 persons. 1t is rather
unusual to get off the subway,
march through a basement floor
filled with pots and pans, house
hold goods and other items on
the way to the elevator, and then
make the journey upward with
the operator stopping at each
floor and telling the things for
sale. Somehow, the idea of going
to a meeting in such a place
strikes most people as unusual.
though in a pleasant sort of way.
Subway Another Novelty.
The second memorable ex-
perience is the subway, recently
opened. Residents of Toronto
are properly proud of it. To
person used to the New York,
Chicago or Philadelphia subways,
the underground here is striking
in its cleanliness, attractive sta
tions and comfortable cars.
The last are red. wider than
ours and roomier inside. They
don't go as fast as the American
subway car, but still move along
at a good clip. At present the
subway runs only a few miles
north and south, but people here
explain this is only the start
and the plan is to bisect the city
eventually
Perhaps the most startling
thing is the whistle the conduc-
tor uses to let the motorman
know the doors are closed. The
conductor, in a car near the
trains center, closes the doors,
pipes on his whistle-to the
amazement of visitors who Won
der what the noise is all about
and then darts back into his
small cab once the subway gets
moving.
Currency Differences Noted.
The third item we shall note
Is the Canadian money. 1t looks
different, feels different, but
seems to go out of ones pocket
with the same ease as our money.
