POLICE CRACK
DOWN ON BIKES
Police To Enforce Law On
Riding Bikes Without
Lights at Night
QUOTES LAW

The Smyrna police department
is concerned by the increase in
use of bicycles at night without
lights and according to Chief of
Police John w. Jacobs, Jr., they
will have to enforce the law about
bike riding without lights at night
and asks the cooperation of par
ents with the police in this mat
ter. Chief Jacobs said that "it
is the responsibility of parents to
see that lights are on the bikes
at night" There have been no
accidents as yet but several close
calls have been reported by mot
orists. Chief Jacobs reminds res
idents that although there is no
town ordinance to apply there is
a state law which requires that
every bike be equipped with a
light on the front. He quotes
Section 4339 of the State Motor
Vehicle Laws in reference to bikes:
Every bicycle shall be equipped
with a lighted lamp in front, Wis
ible under normal atmospheric
conditions from a distance of at
least 300 feet in front of such
bicycle, and shall also be equip
ped with a reflex mirror or lamp
On the rear exhibiting a red light
visible under like conditions from
distance of at least 200 feet
to the rear of such bicycle. :" The
public is notified that the police
intend to continue the use of rad
ar, and it will be in operation at
some time during the course of
each day. Noisy mufflers will be
checked also and Chief Jacobs
has issued instructions that the
police are to "crack down" on
such mufflers, as part of their
continuing program against such
nuisances. During the period
while Main Street and Commerce
Street are under construction the
police ask the cooperation of the
public, urging them to be more
careful, and to try to stay out of
the area as much as possible. In
the words of Chief Jacobs, "if
they use good judgment they will
STAY out of the area"

$40 Millions
In Military
Arms Taken

TEL AVN (JTA)-Military
supplies captured by Israeli
forces in the Sinai campaign
are valued at more than $70,-
100000, Israeli military cir
cles estimated today. This
huge quantity of guns, artil-
cry, armored vehicles, am
nunition and other war ma
teriel was seen as confirming
earlier evidence which Israel
had received of the Egyptian
build-up.
, The retreating Egyptians
left huge supply depots COM
pletely untouched, it was re-
vealed here. In one dump,
which stretched more than
ten miles along the El Arish-
Tsmailia railroad, there were
millions of pieces of weapons,
munitions and spare parts for
a large variety of equipment
used by the ground and air
forces. The supplies in this
dump were enough to keep a
whole army corps going for
weeks.
IN NEKHAL, where only a
small detachment was station
ed, enough war materiel was
found to supply brigade. In
the SouthernmoSt area of the
Sinai Peninsula, the Victori-
Gus ISraeliS found Soviet
manufactured tanks and half
tracks. One of the areas over
run by the IsraeliS contained a
number of oil wells.
Meanwhile, both the gov
ernment and military head
quarters have announced that
the Sinai campaign is ended
and that the troops have been
given strict orders to maintain
a ceaSe-fire. The Israel Gov
ernment has so informed the
United Nations, in reply to the
General Assembly's demand
for a cease-fire.
1t was learned that the
Egyptian garrison on Tiran
and Sanafir islands, at the
head of the Red Sea, were
evacuated by Saudi Arabia.

IsrueIis Show

NEW YORK (JTA) - No
nation ever showed greater
courage than Israel is show
ing now during a time of con-
flict, and no greater morale
than that of the IsraeliS has

calm, having full confidence

THE STATEMENT, adopt
ed at the conclusion of a two
day emergency meeting on
the developments in the Mid
die East, read, in part:
eve regret the bloodshed
and loss of life in the Middle
East and are in accord with
our governments expressed
desire for a just and lasting
peace in that region. How
ever, such a peace cannot be
achieved without a bold and
statesmanlike appraisal of the
issues behind the conflict.
The time for a fresh ap-
praisal is now. The disclos-
ures and developments before
the Security Council have
placed in focus the funda-
mental issue. The conflict in
the Middle East is not simply
between Egypt and Israel, but
between democracy and an ex-
pansionist dictatorship, be-
tween the free world and Mas
serism backed by Moscow.
cover a long period, the
Egyptian Government has
Systematically sought to ter
roriZe the people of Israel. 1t
has sent trained fedayeen into
Israel to derail trains, to mine
roads, to ambush innocent
travellers. The 'commandoS'
have come like thieves in the
night and have murdered cit
liens on their farms and in
their homes. These continu-
Gus acts of horror and violence
have been accompanied by Egg

annihilate Israel.
EVENTS HAVE demon

hostility to the Western dem

demonstrated the basic iden-

own national interest to rec

upon it.
1--WE therefore call upon our
government to shape its poll

light of these facts and this
challenge. We pray that the
traditional moral stature of
our country may be sustained
