Stress Negro Gains
Democrats are answering the
Republican appeal for Negro
votes by pointing out that dur
ing Gov Meyner's administra-
ton of the State government
Negroes have been appointed "a
higher positions than in the
past. including subcabinet posts
and a iudgeship.
The biggest problem the
hackers Of Mr.. Forbes have
faced in this campaign has
been to try to win back TO the
fold Republicans who helped
four years ago TO make Gov.
Meyner the first Democrat
elected to Statewide sofiice in
New Jersey in II years.
Republican State leaders
have tried 70 accomplish this
by tieing Mr.. Forbes campaign
as closely as possible "a the
Eisenhower administration. The
President piled up enormous
majorities in New Jersey last
year. but the record does not
indicate that he has been able
70 transfer his own personal
popularity 10 others.
Hope to Hold Edge
The voting pattern in sew
eral key counties four years
ago reflects the extent to which
Gov. Meyner must have at
traeted Republican support. and
State O. o. P. workers say the
Governor has worked hard dur
Ing his term in once TO hold
that support.
In normally Republican Ber-
gen County. just across the
river from New York, Gov.
Meyner in 1888 reduced a 1919
Republican majority Of 1890
to 5.075 for Paul L. Troast.
the defeated Republican can
didate in 1858.
Essex County. which includes
Newark. gave former Repuh-
lican Gov. Driscoll a majority
Of more than $4,000 in 1919,
but went for Mr.. Meyner by
1929 in 1858.
Hudson County. including
Jersey City. gave Gov. Meyner
his biggest margin of any
county four years ago-70.9 24.
But Republicans hope that fac
tional strife among Demon ats
for local control in Jersey City
will cut down Gov. Meyner's
margin in.

US. Turns Down
 Red Chinese Offer On NeWsnnen

WASHINGTON R-The United States turned down flatly a Red Chinese proposal yesterday for a deal to exchange neWSmen be- tween the two countries. But it assured Red China it would con- sider applications for individual reporters from that country to come here.
 Ambassador U. Alexis Johnson at Geneva, Switzerland, told Chi nese Ambassador Wang Ping-nan that under US. immigration law he was not able to consider enter ing into an exchange agreement which Wang proposed.
 The two men met yesterday in the latest of series of sessions that has been going on at Geneva for more than two years.
 The move was the first direct diplomatic contact between Wash ingtcl and Peiping on this issue.
 It appeared to leave the whole question in deadlock, at least for the time. The Red Chinese are apparently trying to maneuver the US. closer to some kind of direct dealing which might be construed as foreshadowing rec ognition. Alternatively, the Red Chinese would like to put the United States on a propaganda spot.

THE NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER ON AMERICAS HIGHWAYS

year. In response to the sons boast that his father could beat a traffic charge in court, the sensi- ble parent voluntarily forfeited his driving privileges and paid a $1O0 fine. This action he consid- cred more reasonable than having his 13-year-old grow up thinking he could disobey the law.
 It is certainly a travesty on law and order when so often the very traffic regulations enacted for the safety of citizens are held in pub lie scorn as hindrances to free dom, restrictions on everyday life, and interference in the fast tempo of today's pattern of living. Indicative of this perplexing but dangerous public attitude are the walls of guilty motorists against the use of radar, unmarked patrol cars, and other police techniques designed to prevent drivers from destroying themselves and their fellow men.
 Too frequently the praiseworthy efforts of the nations police, traf- fife engineers and safety organiza- tions are met with public indif- ference. Only the full support of the motoring public, aroused thru educational campaigns or exacted by rigid enforcement of traffic laws, can stem the mechanical massacre on our highways.

By J. EDGAR HOOVER

By J. EOGAh HOOVEh
 Reprinted by request and with permission of J. Edgar Hoover) WASHINGTON-On the high ways of America in 1856, human lives were sacrificed on the aver age of one every 13 minutes.
 The ay-to-day senseless kill ing of an estimated 40,000 persons in traffic accidents last year-a new peak in motor fatalities is indeed a blotch on our modern civilized society. Assuredly, the major blame for this shameful record must be attributed to the carelessness, negligence, and in difference to traffic laws on the part of motor vehicle operators.
 No longer can we allow speed CTS and reckless drivers the false cloak of ''petty offenders" The cold statistics of accident losses in life and property stamp these road menaces as serious threats to community welfare To a griev- ing parent, is the loss of child crushed by an automobile more bearable than the death of the loved one at the hands of a kid naper Is the plight of a victim crippled for life under the wheels of a speeding car less pitiab1e than the predicament of a person permanently maimed by a rob- ber's gun?
 Respectable citizens who would never think of violating other laws disregard traffic regulations repeatedly. Citizens who cherish their regulations, parents who devote time and attention to their children, and individuals who hold or strive for important posi- LII OQl SOC1CtJ take an intermission from integ- rity when they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. The con- sequences frequently appear as black headlines concerning holi- day tragedies and daily carnage on the highways.
 Furthermore, the juvenile dis respect for law which so marks the present youth problem can be traced in many instances to the miserable examples of adult mo- torists who "beat the law on the road or brag of outwitting traf- fife officer. In this respect, a good example for every motoring par ent in the land occurred in a father and son episode in a mid western city court earlier this

Senator Urges President To Stick By Decision
 On Pan Am in Seattle

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Thye -Minn urged President Eisen- hover Wednesday to stick by his decision to deny Pan American Airways permission to pick up passengers in Seattle and Port land on it's flight to Japan.
 In a telegram to Eisenhower, Thye said he was "most disap- pointed and at a loss to explain to citizens of the Midwest" the Presidents reasons for reopening the question.
 Earlier this month Eisenhower asked the CAB to reconsider Pan Americans application.
 ''To grant Pan American addi- tional authority at this time would be most detrimental to Northwest Airlines and it's service to the Orient" Thye said.
