The
Rambler
Hayward Trucker
Strengthened Up
BY JACK JONAS

BY JACk JONAS
The traffic policeman who
happened by the vicinity of
Tenth and D streets NV. on
his motorcycle the other eve
ming must have had a day
filled with unhappy encoun-
tiers with not-too- bright
motorists.
It's a tricky traffic pattern,
around Ben Franklin'S statue,
but it seems marked we'll
enough, with signs pointing
this way and that for a man
with eyes to see.
The policeman arrived just
as truck driver pulled his
truck the wrong way into one
of the traffic lanes. The
trucker noticed the do Not
Enter" sign staring up at him,
and tried to turn the big
vehicle around a sharp corner
to get right with the law again.
But the truck Wouldn' t
negotiate the turn.
The policeman sat on his
motorcycle, watching, and
looking as if he wanted to put
his hands over his face and
have a good, long cry.
The truck driver, frustrated
in his attempts to get his
truck Strengthened out, finally
noticed that he was under
observation by the law.
He looked at the policeman
with a pleading Where-do
go-noW look in his eyes.
The policeman stared back,
still with the unhappy look,
and pointed in the only direc-
ton he could think Of
straight up.
Safety
Air Commodore Henry E.
Walker, retired, of the Ar
gentine Air Force, visited
Washington as a tourist this
week and is taking back
with him an idea.
He came, happily, at the
time of the District school
opening. He was intrigued
with the American Auto
mobile A S sOcia I'll o ms
Schools Open" poster,
particularly with the cOIOrs
which seem to glow even in
bright sunlight.
He dropped in at AAA
headquarters and spent
three hours talking with
officials there, discussing the
sign, and telling them of his
plan to try to interest
Argentine cities in the same
idea. When he gets back,
he said, he'll hustle around
and try to find a sponsor.
Haven?
A lady we know, Just back
from a narrowing experience
buying a cigaret holder, says
there should be tobacco stores
for women only.
Il stopped in this cigar
store to buy a cigaret holder"
she said. Now you don't
take purchases like that
lightly. I had to look at
several, of course.
ut was right around the
time the buses were begin
ming to line up outside for
the trip home, and there
were about a dozen men in
the store, obviously itching to
get aboard their buses.
They had their money out,
wanting to buy maybe a few
cigars or a pack of cigarets,
and here was this, this 1Uoman
holding them up while she
considered this cigare t
holder and that.

Slips Up in Attempt
To Break Out

BALTIMORE. July 6 (P).-
Doyle Delmar Royal got out of
the Maryland Penitentiary the
hard way yesterday.

when it evidently broke. He fell
to macadam roadway.
He suffered two broken legs, a
fractured jaw, and possible head
and internal injuries.
Warden Vernon L. Peppersack
said Royal had only 20 feet more

have gone over the roof and
escaped.

repairing the roof of the dining
room next to the cell house when
he slipped away to start his
climb.
He was sentenced on December
81, 1854, to 20-year term

Arthur Eden, spokesman for

Ousted Lee Republicans

TOWNSVILLE, Va, July 6 (P),
-Four ouSted Republican Off
cials of Lee County predicted to-
day their removal will greatly
influence the congressional race
in the 9th district"
The four were ordered to give
up their Offices by a three-judge
court which upheld Democratic
charges of illegal bulk poll tax
payments by the Republicans in
last November's election.
The Republicans had denied
making the lump-Sum payments
which the Democrats said helped
swing the county races in the
g. o. P.'s favor.
In a 200-word statement, the
four deposed officials said the
contest clearly showed the State
was badly in need of legislative
changes in the election laws.
The statement continued:
The citizens generally of Lee
County are very much opposed
to all appointive powers which
prevail in the Commonwealth
and for that reason the Repuo-
lican Party is taking no part in
the appointment to fill the va
icancieS.
I'VE consider it strictly a Dem
ocratic partisan proposition.
