Icy Spots Call
For Caution"
Says Police Chief

From now until spring, icy spots
on pavements offer a treacherous
hazard to motorists, Chief of Police
H. S. Weaver warned yesterday.
"A safe speed before you get
to the ice won't be a safe speed
once you are on it," he said. at
takes 3 to II times as long to
stop on packed snow or glare ice as
it does on dry concrete"
Even with the aid of reinforced
tire chains, which the Committee
on Winter Driving Hazards of the
National Safety Council recon-
mends for maximum safety,
speeds should be held to at least
25 miles an hour on glare ice. and
35 miles an hour on hard packed
snow, Chief Weaver said. In the
city. or in heavy traffic, they
should be less, of course. He also
came up with some helpful advise
on the use of tire chains.
Keep your chains tight" he
said. "Snug fitting tire chains
wear substantially longer than
chains that are loose, particularly
over sections Of bare pavement.
"It's not the weight of the car
or wear that results in premature
breaking of chains" he explained,
"but the centrifugal force which
slsps loose tire chains against the
road surface with great force"
Chief Weaver said the best plan
is to put chains on as snugly as
possible. drive a short distance,
and then tighten the side chains.
Then you're set for several hun
dred miles if necessary, and will
get maximum wear. But keep that
speed down." he warns.

Bower Commanding Officer of
Patrol District 5 at Massillon.
Captain NJ. A. Mock, head of the
Driver Examination Section of the
State Highway Patrol, said the
system, which was inaugurated in

"has proved successful in bringing
the waiting time for applicants to
a minimum. If applicants cooper
ate it practically eliminates all
waiting at the Examination Sta
tions."
Those desiring appointments
must have valid temporary driv-
ing permit and be able to furnish
an automobile in safe driving con-
dition. Appointments may be
made at the examining points by
telephone or in person, as much as
80 days in advance.
Applicants may make appoint
ments in person or by telephone
from 900 a. m. to 400 p. M, Mon
day through Friday. No appoint
ments will be taken or Saturday.
The two examining points
along with their addresses and
telephone numbers are: Downtown
Cleveland: 2500 Chester ave, SU.

West Mayfield rd., HI. 2-2263.
Those who make appointments
and then find they will be unable
to keep them are advised to notify
the examining point Immediately.
Lieutenant Bower pointed out that
persons who fail to keep appoint
ments without notification will go
to the end of the appointment list
which may mean delay of
several days.
"The actual time spent in taking
test for a drivers license is less
than a half -an-hour in most cases"
Lieutenant Bower said.
Examinations are given by uni
formed civilian personnel trained
by the Patrol and under the Pa
trolls supervision.

Durham Denied
Bond While
Appeal Ponds

Federal Judge David A. Pine
yesterday declined to allow con-
victed housebreaker Monte Dur
ham freedom on bond, pending
appeal.
The jurist declared that ito
do otherwise -. would make a
mockery Of the criminal law and
bring its administration into
disrepute."
The refusal was based on the
ground that Durham had raised
mo substantial question" of law
and thus the proposed appeal
was not made in good faith.
Also. for this reason, Judge
Pine declined to let Durham
proceed with the appeal at Gov
eminent expense.
Durham's court-appointed at
torney, Sidney Sachs, had
argued that Judge Pine erred
in telling the jury that If Dur
ham were acquitted by reason
of insanity he would be COM
mitted to st. Elizabeths Hos
pital probably for only a short
time. The Judge. at the time,
said that If the hospital author
tiles adhere to their most recent
opinion, Durham would quickly
be set free.
Adjudged Competent
Before trial Of the case, hos
pital psychiatrists had attested
that Durham was competent to
stand trial and assist in his de-
tense. At the trial. Mr.. Sachs
had argued that Durham. while
now sane, was insane at the time
Of the crime.
In his opinion yesterday, Judge
Pine called attention to a recent
opinion of the United States
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia.
This opinion, in part, said the
trial Judge should. in cases of an
insanity defense, inform the
jury that acquittal on insanity
grounds would result in commit
ment to a mental hospital for as
long as 'the public safety and
his welfare require"
The appellate court ruling,
handed down after Durham's
conviction. in the George Taylor
case, expressed no opinion as to
whether the trial judge should
or should not comment on the
length Of time the prisoner may
spend In the hospital.
Pine Notes Situation
Referring to this. Judge Pine
said: -. II the jury should be
told that defendant would be
committed to q mental institu-
ton If found not guilty by rea-
son Of insanity, 1t is incomphre-
