lean atomic cannon ana Cor
poral rockets.
According to intelligence Off
GERS. the Russian forces concen-
trating across the border under
Marshal Rokossovsky are
equipped with the latest weap-
ons, including atomic arma-
ment. 1t is also believed here
that the Russians would have
tactical air superiority in the
event of a clash.
The Turks are facing them
with a single army, the strength
of which is secret. Air support
would come from the Turkish
Air Force which is reported to
have shown of 100 jet fighters
during the Independence Day
parade Tuesday, and from
nearby American land and sea-
based air forces.
Strong Defenses Set
Thirty miles from the border,
Kars lies in the center of a
broad valley forming the his
!toric invasion route. Intelli-
gence sources believe that If
Russia attacks, tanks and mo-
torized forces will be confined
IN this and other river-valley
systems nearby.
Given this advantage of
mountainous terrain the Turk
ish forces have set up excellent
defensive positions, dominating
the valleys and passed.
Turkish officers who fought
over this sort of terrain in
Korea say they can stop a
force eight or 10 times their
size.
The army here is motorized
and equipped with American
vehicles and tanks. Many of
the officers fought with the
American forces in Korea and
have absorbed military tech
niques. United States officers
are attached to Turkish divi-
sions as advisers and trainers
Depend on U. S.
There is no secret, however
that the guarantee of atomic
support in case of attack would
be highly comforting.
officers point out that the
invaders would be forced to
pile up in the valleys, making
perfect targets for tactical
atomic weapons.
The chances of the Turks
getting atomic weapons at this
stage seem slight. Americans
say the Turkish Army in the
middle OF a modernization pro-
gram still has a good way to go
before it can develop men and
techniques capable Of handling
atomic arms.
The needed support in the
near future. then, must come
from American forces. And
fortunately, American forces
in this part Of the world are
in a position to provide a good
deal more in the way of help
than pitchforks and broom
sticks.

Editor Admits
Receiving Fees
To Advise Beck
Sheffermun Paid
Him Says Former
New York Official
BY JOHN v. HORNER


tor of the magazine Business
Week and an adviser to Presi-
dent Eisenhower during the
1852 campaign, admitted to
Senate investigators today that
he accepted $4,000 in fees as
an adviser to Dave Beck's
Transfers Union.
At the time, he was chairman
of the New York State Media
ton Board but he said he par
ticipated in no decisions involv-
ing the Transfers.
Mr.. Pitzele, who was a labor
adviser to Thomas E. Dewey in
the 1914 and 1913 campaigns,
said neither the New York
Governor nor his magazine
editor knew of his arrangement
for receiving $1,000 a year in
1858, 1854 and 1855.
Paid by Shefferman, He Says
He told the Select Senate
Committee on Improper Labor
Management Relations that
the Teamster fees were paid to
him by Nathan w. Shefferman.
head of Labor Relations As
sociates, Inc. Committee Coun-
sci Robert F. Kennedy de-
scribes Shefferman as a union
buster"
Mr.. Pitzele said that on each
occasion when he saw Beck
with Shefferman. the latter
picked up the tab"
Asked by Mr.. Kennedy
whether he saw anything i'm
proper in the relationship be-
tween Beck, head of one Of the
largest labor unions in the
country. and Shefferman. who
was selling his services as a
labor consultant to numerous
employers, the witness re-
piled:
81 must confess I did not see
anything improper in Mr..
Shefferman paying the checks. "
Surprised at Action
Senator Ives, Republican OF
New York, observed that Mr..
Pitzele had not violated the
State labor law in his arrange
ment with the union but said
he certainly was surprised that
the editor did not clear the
matter with Gov. Dewey before
entering into an agreement.
The Senator also remarked
that although the law was not
violated he was not passing
upon the question of good taste
or the propriety involved.
The 46-year-old editor. who
has been with Business Week
since 194l, said he first met
Shefferman in 1943 or 1914.
He testified that the consul
tant telephoned him when the
Saturday Evening Post began
publishing a series of articles
he was writing on labor leaders
at the second level'-those
not then as well known as they
are today.
The purpose of the call was
to urge Mr.. Pitzele to write an
article on Beck. and Shelter
man was said to have arranged
a meeting with the author and
the union leaders. The wit
ness said nothing ever came
of the idea, although Shelter
man maintained pressure for
some time.
Agrees to See Beck
Mr.. Pitzele testified that sub
seuuently David Kaplan, a
Teamster official, came to him
and asked him to 60 to see
Beck. He agreed.
HE offered me a job at my

Delaware has made remark
able progress in reducing traffic
deaths during the Slow Down and
Live Campaign period" Mr.. Ash
ton declared. THE credit goes to
every motorist and pedestrian and
cycle rider on Delaware roads, to
our city and state police through
out Delaware, and also to the ef-
forts o.. state. county and local
officials, to the cooperation of bus
mess, civic, fraternal and safety
groups and the tremendous sup
port given the campaign by our
public information media.
''The results in sharply reduc-
ing fatal accidents show once
again that progress can be made
and is being made here in Della
ware" Mr.. Ashton continued. IF
we could continue to reduce the
number of fatal accidents by six
or seven a year in future years,
the spectre of fatal accidents on
the highways would become a
thing of the past. do not claim
we can wipe them out entirely,
but 1 know we can reduce the
total further"
Mr. Ashton said the campaign
statistics for Wilmington alone
show the same number of fatali-
ties-two-this year as last; re-
duction in property damage acci-
dents; and an increase in person
al injury accidents. The figures
show 5O7 property damage acci-
dents in the city this summer as
compared with 553 last summer
during the campaign period. In
personal injuring accidents in the
city, the figures are 168 this year
in the Slow Down and Live per-
iod and 147 last year.
For the state outside Whining
ton, fatalities amounted to q this
year as contrasted with 2S last
year. In property damage acci-
dents, the total show 1240 this
summer and 1345 last summer
Personal injury accidents number
ed 366 in the campaign perioC
this year and 377 in the like per.
iod last year Arrests for speed
ing by the Delaware State Police

ChiIdren's Eyes Need Frequent
Checking

Have your child's eyes check
ed frequently. About one-third OF
all school-age children have poor
eyesight. Uncorrected sight de-
fects often result in disinterest in
studies and poor grades.
Probably the biggest problem
is that TOO often neither parents
nor children realize the trouble.
If a child has always seen double
or had blurred vision, he has no
reason to think anything is
wrong.
Check for red rims, encrusted
or swollen lids, recurring sites, IN
flammation or wateriness or cross
ing of the child's eyes. All are
signs of some eye trouble
