F HIGHWAYS


The loss of more than one
hundred lives every day on the
streets and highways of our ma
ton emphasizes the importance
of a concentrated effort to make
motor traffic safer for the mill
lions of drivers of cars, trucks
and buses, as well as for pedes-
trians who are compelled to use
our streets and highways.
The development of modern
highways and high speed motor
vehicles has made death a fellow
traveller. No one knows with GER
tainty when the Grim Reaper
rides alongside, or whose life will
be cut down by the invisible
scythe.
Despite programs to educate us
in highway safety, traffic lights
and signs, improved highways
and automobiles, the toll of ac-
cidents is appalling. We pay a
high price in human life for the
recognized benefits which have
accrued to society through greater
and faster mobility.
The problem has no simple So
luton. Warming signals, stop signs
and flashing lights are helpful
but, as traffic increases, they slow
down the movement of vehicles.
Driving lessons and safety pro-
grams make their contribution.
Regular inspection of motor We
hicles, enforcement of traffic
regulations and revocation of
driving licenses erect a screen of
protection. The problem multiplies
however, as motor traffic increas-
es in volume, as well as in speed.
Amazing progress has been
made in constructing highways
to accommodate heavy traffic. In
many places, the old two-lane
highways have been replaced by
thoroughfares. Grade
crossings have been eliminated,
and even the toll highway has
oeen accepted in some states as
/ means to finance the relocation

he speeding of traffic.
With all of this, and with the

is RUSSIA

The strong diplomatic action of
the USSR in recent days - in
effect threatening Great Britain
and France if they continue to
exert force against Egypt - can
only be considered as a bluff on
the part of the Russians.
If this threat is considered 9TH
erwiSe, and if the Russians fol-
low through with their threat, the
world is headed for World War
III. We do not believe the Rus
slams are ready to plunge the
world into another about war
for several reasons.
First, the Communist empire
is having its troubles. While some
say that this could make the men
in the Kremlin desperate, and
lead them to take steps towards
war as a means of rallying people
behind them, this does not take
into consideration the fact that
the Russians would obviously be
starting the war themselves, if
they sent troops all the way to
Egypt. The Russian people would
even sense this fact.
Second, the Russians would
have to become involved with the
North Atlantic Treaty Alliance
countries, and fight them all, if
she were to send troops to Egypt.
She has no way to get her troops
to Egypt unless she would go
through the Eastern Mediterran-
can. Turkey or Greece, or per-
haps Iran - through which IA
cilities are not good.
Moreover, she would face the
task of getting them across the
Red Sea, or the Suez Canal, to
the Egyptians, which territory the
British would control by the time
any Russian forces of size reached
the area.
Thirdly. the history of Com
munism shows that the Russians
do not precipitate a world war
or any major war - which they
are not certain they can easily
win. If they were to plunge the
into war at this point over
they would be fighting a
var over the Suez Canal issue,
and it should be remembered that
he British had troops in the Suez
Canal zone until a few months
lgo, and if they are reestablished
here, that only amounts to con-
mutation of the status quo, as of
few months ago. So the Russian
var would be started over a very

Where did this large slush fund
come from?
According to figures filed with
the Ohio Secretary of State and
county election boards it came in
large part from the nations

no surprise but the real surprise
was to see listed among those con-
tributing sizable sums smaller COM
panies, hotels and even smaller re-
tail stores which ironically depend
on workers paycllecks for their in

Among those listed were Bald

Now that the AFL-CIO Merger il
an accomplished fact and some o
the speculation as to the success
or failure of such a merger ha:
died down somewhat, it might be
interesting and worthwhile to re-
view the actual AFL-CIO structure
Lets see just how it will work.
Here's how the AFLrCIO is set
up to operate:
Basic governing body of the new
federation is its convention, sched-
uled to meet every two years. The
convention, comprised of delegates
from affiliated unions, elects Off
GERS, sets policies, and makes and
approves the organizations basic
decisions.
Top officers are president George
Meaiy and secretary-treasurer Will
liam Schnitzler. They are the only
paid officers.
Between conventions, the fedora
tion lis governed by its Executive
Council The Council consists of the
two top officers and 81 vice-presi-
dents. Council meetings are held
three times a year.
The AFL-CIO's General Board,
on the other hand, is to meet at
least once a year to decide all
policy questions which the officers
of Executive Council refer to it.
The General Boards membership
includes all Executive Council
members and the top officer of
each affiliated international union
and trade department.
The Federation also will have an
Executive Committee of the two
top officers plus six vice-presiderlts
selected by the Council This Com
mittee will meet every two months
to advise and consult on policy
matters with the president and Sec
retary-treasurer.
All the federation's organizing
activities are to be headed by its
Department of Organization Di-
rector of the department is John
w. Livingston, vice-presiderit of
UAW-CI0 until the merger conven-
ton.
Among the trade and industrial
departments of the federation are
the Industrial Union Department.
largest in the new federation with
more than several million members
and headed by UAW President
Water ParNN~. Through these
t. Ae and Industrial departments,
unions of the same broad idustrial
groupings can give special 'atten-
tion to their common problems.
One of the primary tasks con-
fronting the new AFL-CIO is or
ganizing the two-thirds of the ma
tion's work force who now are not
members of any union.

''The AFTlCTO is not going to be

A possible death penalty for
sales of heroin to Juveniles but
not to adults is the compromise
worked out by conferees on
Federal narcotics legislation, it
was disclosed today.
The House version of the
measure to provide sitter penal
ties for peddlers contains no
death provision and the Senate
version had provided the death
sentence at the discretion of the
jury not only for sale to juve-
niles but to third offenders SELL
ing to adults.
In the compromise, it was dis
closed, the House conferees
accepted the death penalty for
sales to juveniles only and the
Senate conferees accepted the
House version on other penalties
AS worked out in conference
and expected to be reported to-
morrow, existing penalties arr
doubled and are mandatory. For
possession of heroin the penal
ties range from 2 to 10 years
on first offense, 5 to 20 years
on second offense and 10 to AZ
years on third offense with a
$4,000 fine in addition to the
sentence.
For sales Of heroin the pen.
|alties would be 5 to 10 years or
first offense, 10 to 40 years or
second offense plus the $4,000
fine on all sales. and from II
years to life imprisonment with
the permissive death penalty fol
sales to juveniles.
