Mr.. Sanders emphasized the

the direct CT loan program, and
other borrowers who have pur-

He said the service will NOT

WOMEN WORK FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY

and to three women's or par
ent's groups that have developed
and directed effective traffic
safety programs. They consist
of $1,000, $500 and $3.50 in saw
ings bonds for first, second and
third, respectively, plus sculp-
lures or baS-reliefs symbolizng
woman's protective instinct.
These awards have gone to
women for promoting better
vehicle inspection, programs
leading to improvement of mo-
tor vehicle laws, pedestrian and
bicycle safety, and driver train
unexpectedly among teenagers.
This approach appeals TO
women's natural desire to pro-
tect life, and it encourages
women to use their opportuni-
ties-usually greater than mems
to work with young people
in promoting traffic safety.
The awards are an example
Of corporation accepting re-
sponsibility and encouraging
public participation in worth
while cause.

Traffic accidents always make
more news than the efforts
made to prevent them. But the
efforts are being made, and in
terms of the lives they will save
in the future, they are more
important than the most widely
reported accident.
It is heartening to find an
unusually constructive approach
to the problem coming from in
dustry-in this case from an oil
company whose interest in the
motorist reaches far beyond The
sale Of gasoline.
IT'S called the Carol ane
Awards for Traffic Safety. 1T is
the only national recognition
offered to women for their
achievements toward the pre-
servation of lives through traf-
fic safety programs at the COM
munity or state level.
The awards, named for the
women's travel director of Shell
Oil Company, are made each

have no data on Mr.. Sullivan.
AS we talked I learned that
The Johnson Publishing Com
pany publishes besides EBONY
three other magazines: JET.
TAN, and HUE. Each has its
purpose in the galaxy. I told
Mr.. Johnson that in 1853 the
Carver Librarian, Miss Gwen
dolyn Smith, and I could not.
recommend EBONY to a COM
mittee of librarians in the in
tegrated high schools and had
been forced, (although we had
it in the Carver library, to keep
certain issues at the desk, but
I felt now that EBONY could be
recommended for any high
school library and should be In
all Of them.
He explained that about three
years ago EBONY had grown
sufficiently in circulation, ex-
perience, and general popular
ity for Johnson Publishing Co.
to make a planned change in.
policy regarding it's material.
EBONY no longer contains any
sexy, or sensational news sto-
ries. He pointed out that most
of the large pictorial magazines
once had to use materials which
they would not now use, until
they built up their circulation
sufficiently to change their pol
icy without riSking too great a.
temporary financial loss. EBONY
now portrays only the best in
Negro life and accomplishment.
Undoubtedly the most reward
ing experience enjoyed by us in
a long time was a lunch session
at the Y.M.C.A. which a small
group had with Mr.. Johnson.
It was an occasion when he
could share with us the wisdom
and strategy he has learned in
race relations in his personal
life in Chicago, in his world
travels, and in his years in ma
tion-wide and worldwide jour
nalistic observing and record
ing of Negro life and. problems
AS the lunch group was break
ing up, it was a matter OF cons
siderable pride to discover in
the presence of admiring Greeks
that Mr.. Johnson is a Brother
Alpha. And all of this just for
being an amateur newspaper
man.

local ARIZONA SUN seems to
be enough to convince some
people that I am. 500 some

WASHINGTON - Members Of
the economy forces in Congress
pledge themselves to cooperate
In every way possible with Prea-
dent Eisenhower in eliminating
r1on-eSSential government activ-
tiles in order to help pay for
increased defense spending
which he has requested.
While advocating whatever
amount Of spending that Is es-
sential for national safety, they
still think that total govern
ment expenditures are too high
and should be trimmed In every
feasible manner.
They do not support all OF
Mr. Eisenhower spending re-
quests (far from it,, yet they
are encouraged by several as
poets of the Administrators
fiscal program outlined in mes
sages to Congress.
One of the Eisenhower state
mentS they applaud is that "it
is necessary that every possible
economy be effected in other
defense activities to help offset
the increased costs Of the high
priority programs"
Mr.. Eisenhower also was cheer
ed for abandoning or postpon-
ing some domestic programs
(such as federal aid for school
construction), curtailing expan-
sion of others, and recommend
ing the transfer of greater re-
sponsibility from the, Federal
Government to state and local
governments or to private in
dividuals or enterprises.
While members of the econ
onny bloc more progress could
and. should. be made in this
direction. Feeling thi&way, they
urge a continuance Of the grass

and extravaganza in govern

year starting next July 1-calls
for net expenditures of $73.9 bill
lion, with defense spending up
81 billion over the current year,
and a reduction in some other
areas.
This increase in defense
spending requires a real cam
paign for savings wherever pos
sible, in the opinion. of mem,

The required temperature,

be predicted, he said as well
as the approximate minimum

But he added that standing
in the way of achieving these

of achieving high purity in the

An Atomic Energy Commits
sion scientist predicted today
the goal of Harvesting the
hyrogen bomb reaction for cleo
trical power eventually would
be achieved.
But the scientist, DR.. Richard
F. Post of the Aces University
of California radiation labor
atory at Livermore, Calf, eau
toned that tough technical
problems remain to be solved.
Several promising avenues
are being pursued" to overcome
the difficulties, he said in testi-
mony prepared for the Senate
House Atomic Subcommittee on
Research and Development.
DR.. Post was one Of eight
scientists Of Aces Project
Sherwood"-the program aimed
at peaceful use of the H-bomb
reaction-who were called to
describe selected aspects Of the
work at a public hearing.
Basic Research PrObed
The subcommittee begins to-
day the second week of hearings
on the status of basic. or fun
damental, research in various
fields Of nuclear and related
science.
The testimony Of the Sher-
wood scientists appeared likely
to be personal exposition Of
technical reports released by
the Acc on January "a. At
that time, both the United
States and Great Britain jointly
reported fruitful and promis-
ing results" in the quest for
industrial power from the H
bomb reaction. Both countries
made it clear. however, that
any attainment Of the objective
is many years away.
DR.. Posts testimony said, "As
far is now known the only
avenue to fusion power is
through the confinement Of a
very hot ionized gas-'plazma'

The Montana Senator said
he does not know whether the
Russians would rise to this
challenge or not. But he said
there is every reason to believe
that If this Nation acts with
boldness the other NATO ma
tons at least win be with us.
At the same time, Senator
Mansfield cautioned Congress
against becoming so absorbed
in defense. foreign policy and
outer space that 1t overIooks
the domestic problems created
by the decline in employment
at home.
I'VE had better not wait too
long and come forth with too
little to reverse present eco
