ISSUE WINTER
ROAD WARNING
Safety Council Warns Motor
lists of Driving Hazards
In Ice and Snow
NIGHT DRIVING CITED

What are the three bugaboos
of winter driving?
Slippery roads, poor visibility
and more hours of darkness. ac-
cording to Clifford T. Foster, Jr.,
president of the Delaware Safety
Council.
Rain, snow and sleet result in
extra dangerous driving condi-
lions. And sometimes these con-
ditions remain long after the snow
has stopped, Mr.. Foster said. I'm
expected icy patches should be
watched for on hills, curves and
shaded spots.
Snow and ice multiply the nor
NAL braking distance. A car trav-
cling 20 mph that could stop in
81 feet on dry concrete, will take
go feet on hard packed snow or
195 feet on glare ice.
"And," Mr.. Foster noted, "it's
important to keep in mind that
ice gets more slippery as it ap-
proaches the melting point of 80
degrees. 1t takes twice as long
to stop on ice at 80 degrees as
on ice at zero"
Poor visibility is another win
ter driving bugabaa. he said. He
warned drivers to be sure that
windshield wiper blades work
properly and do not streak. Also,
drivers should check to make sure
their defrosters work. After a
storm, snow and ice should be
cleared off all the windows. Fail
ure to take little extra time to
improve visibility is reckless in
vitation to trouble, Mr.. Foster
said,
The third bad weather driving
bugaboo-more hours of darkness
lis one that plaques drivers even
when skies and roads are clear.
Night driving, even at best, is
more hazardous than daytime
driving. And at this time of the
year, it is dark for about ID hours
of the average day, he said.
He called on all drivers to ac-
quaint themselves with the haz-
ards of winter driving and drive
sensibly and safely in spite of
them.

we're their owners-three pretty

NEW YORK, May 2 (Pl.-
Thousands of spectators held
their breath today as a big

nearing New York when the
first word was received and he
was informed by radio.
The plane belongs to Lsraels

The pilot made three swings
over the airport while ground
crews and control tower men
looked at the landing gear OF
the craft. a Bristol Britannia
turbo-prop model whose flight
had originated at Tel Aviv
Israel.
On the third pass-with
thousands of airport spectators
watching the dramatic pilot
was told by radio:
your landing gear is OK
except for your left wheel
which seems to be missing"
This apparently meant that
one wheel on the left landing
gear was absent. Each of the
| two main landing gears has
four wheels instead of the
usual two, a safety factor in

Benson Invited
To Visit Russia
Secretary Expected
Tc Accept Bid

Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son has been invited to visit
the Soviet Union and his close
associates rather think he is
going to accept"
Ambassador Mikhail Menshi-
kov personally extended the
invitation some time ago and
Secretary Benson told him he
wants to go. But no formal
acceptance has been sent to
Moscow.
When the trip can be ar
ranged is still not certain. The
Secretary feels it would be diff
ficult to leave Washington while
Congress is in session. so pros
poets are the visit will be made
after adjournment.
The last high-ranking official
to visit the Soviet Union was
Gen. Nathan F. Twining. then
Air Force Chief of Staff and
now chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
Mr.. Benson's visit would be
in line with President Eisen-
hover S expressed wish that
exchanges of high ranking but
not summit-level officials be ar
ranged with the Soviet Union.
The Agriculture Secretary's
counterpart, Vladimir Matske-
vich, toured the United States
a couple of years ago with a
group of Soviet experts. Later
a reciprocal visit by an Amer
lean group was arranged.
Mr.. Benson's trip would be
the first to Russia by an official
of cabinet rank since Secre-
tary of State Marshall attended
a foreign ministers conference
in Moscow in 1947.

BY L. EDGAR PRINA
star star Writer

Gen. Thomas D. White. Air
Force Chief of STAFF, today be-
came the first military chief to
support enthusiastically the ad-
ministration's bill TO reorganize
the Defense Department.
Testifying before the House
Armed Services Committee.
Gen. White said he favored the
Eisenhower reorganization plan
because it would accomplish OBJ
jectives which are vital to the
country. He listed them as:
/. Establishment Of a peace
time organization which can
meet wartime requirements.
2. Provision Of a system which
will better enable the Joint
Chiefs of staff to act with COR
porate responsibilities and cor
porate views.
3. The assignment of clear
cut authority and responsibility
to the Secretary Of Defense.
4. Better defense at a COM
parable cost.
Differs From Others
Gen. Whites position differed
considerably from that stated
by his fellow chief of staff. In
prior appearances before the
committee, Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor of the Army indicated
a lukewarm attitude toward the
administrations bill; Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke of the Navy
found many misgivings; Gen.
Randolph McC. Pate of the Ma
rine Corps stated his fiat oppo-
sition to virtually every prin-
cipal provision. Gen. Nathan F.
Twining. chairman of the Joint
Chiefs. had mild reservations
about some features of the bill.
Gen. White said it was. in his
opinion. essential that "our
strategic and tactical planning
be completely unified" He said
he would be willing to see
vested interests of the Air
Force go by the boards" If the
country would become better
prepared to defend itself.
Authority Limited
Gen. White conceded that
under the reorganization pro-
posal the Pentagon would have
a general staff. But he denied
that it would be patterned after
the German concept in that it
would not have full control of
all of the armed services and
their functions.
He said the proposed general
staff, while having great au-
thority in planning and OPP
erations, would have little to
do directly with personnel.

Group Asks Speed
By the Associated Press

The National Planning As

that taxes be cut from 81 to So
billion a year and Government
spending be stepped up by $4
billion.
H. Christian Some, chair
man of the association, said
these steps are needed to re-
store an expanding economy.
Further action during this
session of Congress cannot long
be delayed" he told the House
Banking Committee.
Elsewhere there were some
indications in Government
statistics that people may be
starting to buy more.

Mr.. Some conceded there is
a possibility the program he
urged may be premature, but
he said: "In this situation !
think it is more prudent to err
on the side of acting too boldly
than too timidly."
The National Planning AS
sociation describes itself as a
nonprofit, nonpolitical organi-
zation established in 1884 and
devoted to planning in agri-
culture, business. labor and the
professions.
