Safety Council Notes


In traffic, courtesy is a life and
death matter" Clifford 7. Foster,
Jr., Vice President for Public
Safety Of the Delaware Safety
Council. said today.
Mr., Foster chose these words to
stress the importance of highway
courtesy as he announced the
opening Of a courtesy "Code Of the
ROAD" traffic safety program in
this state under the leadership of
the Delaware Safety Council.
He said that on a national level
the program will be conducted BY
the National Safety Council, the
lnter-Industry Highway Safety
Committee and the National Com
mittee for Traffic Safety.
The reason for this great CO.
ordinated effort, according to Mr..
Foster, is simply the knowledge
that many motor vehicle accidents
never would occur if all drivers
would realize that courtesy on the
highway actually does save lives.
"A study Of violations as factors
in traffic accidents" he explained.
indicates certain specific acts of
courtesy that drivers can carry out
TO protect themselves and others
from injury and death on the high
way"
Referring to National Safety
Council studies on fatal motor We
hicle accidents for 1868. Mr.. Foster
said they indicated that the fol-
lowing list Of courteous acts must
be considered basic to safe driving:
I. Share the road by driving in
the proper lane.
2. Allow ample clearance when
passing.
3. Yield the right Of way to other
0rlVers to pedestrians.
4. Give proper signals for turns
and stops.
D. Dim headlights when meeting
or following vehicles.
8. Respect traffic laws. signs
signals and road markings.
z. Adjust driving to road. traffic
and weather conditions.
All these points are summed
up In the slogan being publicized
IN this nationwide program" Mr.
Foster said.
He urged everyone to remember
and act on the slogan, make
Courtesy Your Code of the Road"

A Congressman took time out
from his legislative duties yes
terday to teach fifth grade at
the Districts Draper Elementary
School.
The temporary teacher was
Representative Carl Albert,
Democrat. of Oklahoma.
Representative Albert took
over Miss Catherine e. Iascone's
class at Draper yesterday morn
ing at the invitation Of Diapers
principal. Miss Grace Bush.
Draper, this fall, has been re-
cruiting parents as substitute
teachers so regular teachers can
visit other schools. Miss Iascone
went to Brightwood School yes
terday, so Representative Albert
took her place.
The Oklahoman has a 6-year-
old daughter, Mary Frances, at
tending first grade at Draper.
Miss Bush said the children
were thrilled to get a man
teacher, and Representative AL
bert also appeared pleased with
his special assignment.

Representative Albert divided
his teaching stint between
regular classwork, and a discus
sion Of matters OF Government,
including some very current.

of the morning asking him
about Congress. One Of the most

and arithmetic, and later turned
to the history of the Pilgrim
settlement in New England.
The visiting congressman took
out Is minutes from the regular
schedule for a discussion of the
reasons why Washington resi-
dents can't vote. He explained
that the Constitution provides
voting for representation in Con-
gress of only the States and that
he thinks a constitutional
amendment would be needed to
change the situation here. He
added that he supported giving

3 Alexandra Boys
JaiIedAwaiting Room
In Training School

Two 14-year-old boys and a
third aged Is have been locked
up In the Alexandria jail for
one week now because there is
no room for them at the State
training school to which they
have been committed.
This was disclosed by Alex
andria Juvenile Judge Irene Pam
coast last, night at a public
meeting to consider plans for a
regional Juvenile detention home.
Judge Pancoast said she was
forced to place the boys In jail
because there was no other place
to send them while they are
awaiting transfer to the State
school.
The three boys are ali colored.
Two were arrested for particle
tpating in a series Of burglaries
land the third was picked up for
violating terms Of probation on
an earlier offense, Judge PAN
coast said.
+ Committed Friday.
All three were committed by
Judge Pancoast last Friday to
custody of the State Welfare
Department, which is supposed
to place them in Virginia's train
A, ing school for colored boys near
Richmond.
Virginia law prohibits impris-
onment of children under Il in
Jail under any conditions, and
juveniles IA to Is may be locked
up In jail only when they are
kept separate from adult pris-
oners and when the juvenile
judge feels it Is necessary.
The training school for colored
boys is the third State institution
for juveniles to become over
crowded.
The situation first was brought
to light two months ago, when a
16-year-old Loudoun County girl
remained So days in the Grove
ton police lookup in Fairfax
County because there was no
room for her in the State train
ing school for white girls. The
State later disclosed that it also
had a backlog of boys waiting
admission to the training school
for white boys. Only the school
for delinquent colored girls has
remained unaffected by the re-
cent overcrowding.
Warns Against Catehall Unit.
Carroll Minor, director of the
division of youth services for the
State Welfare Department. said
there currently were Is boys
waiting admission to the school
/ for colored boys. He expected
room might be found for the
three Alexandria boys by the
middle of next week.
Last nights meeting, sponsored
by the Northern Virginia Re-
gional Planning and Economic
Development Commission, was
i held at the Falls Church parish
house to explain the status of

Mr.. Peterson declared he is
convinced that cities, If given
sufficient warning, can success
fully evacuate large sections of
their population. But he con-
coded there are grave psyche
logical, political and other prob
lens involved. >
He told the mayors that, on his
recent visit to Europe, he found
the Scandinavian countries far
ahead in civil defense, with great
underground shelters, also used
as parking garages.
Mayor Frank. Zeidler Of Mil
waukee told the meeting about
the evacuation drill his COM
munity went through. Because
of the tremendous power of
bombs. he said, residents must
be taken to points at least 20
miles out of the city, with rail-
roads and private automobiles
participating at the movement.

DR.. Willard F. Libby, the new
commissioner Of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission, also empha-
sized the effects of the radio
activity of atomic weapons.
Following the cooling period,
the populace could stay behind
shelters as much as possible, +"
he explained. Certain meas
ures could be taken to remove
radioactive material and reduce
the general hazard, according to
directions Of the Federal Civil
Defense Administration. 1t
would seem that simple meas
ures are likely to be effective.

a foot of earth is good shielding
two feet of earth is excellent,
and water at about three times

Senator Hendrickson, Repub-

ing lack Of cooperation In the
handling of juvenile delinquency
in the District.
In view of this, he said in his
farewell speech to the Senate.
the Judiciary subcommittee on

Senator Hendrickson. who was
not q candidate for reelection,
was chairman of the special
subcommittee which conducted
hearings here and in many other
cities over the country.
Contributions Cited.
In a summary of its past work,
he predicted that a rise in jul
venile delinquency would end
with this year. He said he be-
ieved his Subcommittee's work
had made a big contribution to-
ward stemming crimes by youths
but that there Is need for better
coordination of efforts. He
urged careful consideration In
the new Congress Of recommen-
dations for legislation to be pre-.
sented next year by the sub
committee.
In some instances, he told the
Senate, subcommittee efforts to
spotlight the lack of co-ordina-
ton among affected agencies
had not had any appreciable
effect.
Zone such situation exists
right here in the District Of
Columbia - at Congress own
doorstep" he said.
He recalled that, In the SUBJ

about through the earnest desire

hard to legislate cooperation.
I hope it viii not be necessary.
"But in view Of the situation
as it exists and Congress re-
Sponsibility for the District. our
subcommittee is seriously con-
sidering whether, in this case.

terly report Of the board,
Pointing to the small number
Of citation cases heard during
the period from July l through
September 80, the boards re-
port said: "This is not due to
the actual decrease of viola
tons reported, but to the dila-
tory action Of the office Of the
Corporation counsel.
"Since the board was de-
prived Of its assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel, all reports al
leging violations are transmitted
to the Office of the Corporation
Counsel, there to be written and

tinued. @

"These reports are given slight
attention at that Office and fire.

The board formerly had AS

but this assignment was dis
continued about a year ago with
