To Adopt
Traffic Laws

Governors of IA states have
urged the adoption of traffic
legislation which would bring
their states laws into greater
conformance with the Uniform
Vehicle Code, according to a
report just released by the Ma

In a year when governors and
state legislatures appear ready TO
concern themselves more with
traffic safety than ever before.
the need for uniform laws is
being stressed along with the
need for better and safer high
ways. fhe NHUC said.
"There is every indication that
traffic safety will receive record
attention by state legislatures
in 1857, as evidenced by safety
recommendations in the COVER
nor's messages" the report said.
Most governors have focused
attention on ssfety-several call
ing il the most ipmortant mat
ter facing their state today.
Almost all the governors have
emphasized the safety advan-
tages of adequate roads and the
nood for their states IN match
Federal laid grants for the Inter-

terest has also been expressed
in enforcement with % COVER
nors urging one or more OF the
following: stepped-up enforce
ment on speed. increased per-

of unmarked cars and radar,
and a clamp-down on drunk

page report Monday generating
Patrolmen Robert ]. Lessnau and

beating of a prominent local
Negro law student and bar
owner, Robert F. Mitchell, Jr.
COMMISSIONS Piggins in read
ing the decision. criticized the
Prosecutors office for not taxi
ing the case to a full hearing in
Recorders Court The charges
against the two officers were for
conduct unbecoming an officer.
This grew from a complaint
lodged by Mitchell.
Not Present
Mitchell was not present when
the decision was read. His at
torney, Julian P. Rodgers, Jr.,
stated as far as he knew the
hearing was fair. The board
ruled that Mitchell was not
beaten severely" or excessive
ly' as was charged and that the
patrolmen were exercising their
rightful duties.
Officers Victims
Piggins further stated: TOO
often officers are the victims
of unjustifiable criticism by I'M
thinking citizens. There are
some of us who refuse to recog-
nize that a police officers sworn
duty is TO protect and defend
and not to persecute or abuse.
1t is regrettable that these pro-
ceedings were abruptly drawn"
Plans Suit
Mitchell plans $4,000 civil
suit against the patrolmen.
He was stopped on January
18th for missing headlight on
his auto, and said the searching
officers abused and beat him
when he objected to being
searched
Community Aroused
The Negro community of De-
troit was Immediately aroused
by the treatment of Mitchell.
Several committees were formed
to bring public attention to the
case. The FBI entered the case
as it dealt with a violation of
civil liberties.

hailed by the NAACP Board Of
Directors as an inspiration and
encouragement to peoples and
to countries yet to achieve their

A-Bomb Cancer
Danger Told

LONDON. April II OH al
grim report on radiation hazards.
the Atomic Scientists Associa-
ton has estimated that 10000
persons throughout the world
eventually may develop bone
cancer as the result of lone
nominal high-yield nuclear test"
Releasing the report last night,
the British scientific group en-
phasized that the prediction was
based on the yet improved hy-
pothesis" that bone cancers are
produced in direct proportion to
the amount of radioactivity
received.
Working from this basis. they
said. IAN H-bomb of the type
tested at Bikini in 1854, if ex-
ploded high in the atmosphere,
may eventually produce bone
cancers in 1000 people for every
million tons of TINT of equivalent
explosive power. These 1000
casualties would be spread over
all the world and occur in the
course of several decades"
Applying their findings to the
world population. the report con-
tinued, I'VE obtain that the
number of bone sarcomas Una
lignant growths) from one
nominal high-yield nuclear test
may amount to 10000 all over the
world"
Damage to the present genera
ton may result mainly from the
release of strontium-90. radio
active substance which enters the
body in food and accumulates
in the bones, the scientists said.
Depending on the assump-
tons made about the distribu-
ton of strontium in bone" the
report said. I'VE calculate that
by the year 1870 the radiation
doses to bone from all the ''nu-
celar) tests carried out up to
the autumn of 1856 will range
from 9 to As per cent of the dose
received from all natural sources,
including the radium which is
normally present in bone.'
The association, a non-politi-
cal body. includes experts on nu-
clear physics and top university
professors.

Leader Of Reform Group Loshes
Back at Judaism Council Attack

NEW YORK-(Special to
THE ARIZONA POST
The American Council for
Judaism has been charged
with attempting to "throt-
tie" the right of American
Jews to express their views
on United States policy in
the Middle East.
The charge was made by
DR.. Maurice N. Eisendrath,
head of the Union of Amer
lean Hebrew Congrega-
tions which is the parent
organization for more than
a million Reform Jews af-
filiated with over $40 tenn
pies.
DR.. EiSendrath made his
charge in a reply to a crit.
cal letter sent him and the
heads of other major Jew
ish organizations by Clar-
ence Coleman, president of
the American Council for
Judaism.
The Council had criti-
cized the Reform group for
issuing a public statement
along with other national
Jewish groups on the Mid
die East situation and u. S.

daism," DR.. Eisendrath
continued, Ito evaluate the
moral implications of ma
tional and international
events.
Apparently Mr.. Cole
man would snuff out that
prophetic tradition so sa-
cred to both Christians and
Jews.
''It is a privilege and a
duty of Americans to ex-
press their views about the
course our nation takes
and, if moved by convic-
tions concerning the well
fare of America, to give
voice to them even if they
are temporarily at vari-
ance with the policies of
the highest officers of our
government.
Apparently, the Ameri-
can Council for Judaism
would throttle that right.
"A more anti-American
doctrine, one more calcu-
lated to lead to ethical
paralysis, cannot be imag-
ined."
