Slogans Sell { Safety Around
 The World
By Martha Johnson, Dodge Safety C0nsultant

SLOGANS have been used for years to sell everything from popcorn to world peace
 Some pretty clever slogans have been dreamed up to help stop accidents, too.
 According to the National Safety Council, however, the best safety slogan ever written isn't worth a whoop unless it's backed up by plenty of action and a good, sound continuing safety program.
 These safety officials are con vinced that a good safety slogan can help a good safety program. So, just for fun, they've com piled and translated a list of safety slogan used successfully around the world, to show that safety is sold everywhere.
 China: "Let your head guide your feet"
 England: More patient pc deSt~ians mean less pedestrian patients"
 France: Caution prevents suf- fering"
 Germany: Caution is not cowardly, and carelessness is not courage"
 Hunsary "Go slower - get farther. ?
 Israel; Life and death are on the roaGs."
 Me1ico: An automc iIe ic al- ways as drunk as the man GI.v- ing il.
 Russia: Bette 4.5o I,-to- than never"
 South L.ricc: "A CT | las r;nc lives-a pedestrian only one"
 Sweden: Watch where you step, or you'll step into trouble"
 United States: Let safety share your ride. Make every drive a safety drive!"

Alfalfa" of Our Gang Comedies, Shot and Killed In Argument Over $50

SAN FERNANDO, Calif., R m Actor Carl (Alfalfa Switzer, B - freckle-faced Wide-eyed mo- vie star as a boy - was shot to death Wednesday night. Police said the shooting had occurred during an argument with another man over money.
 Switzer was a favorite of mo- viegoers a generation ago when he appeared in Our Gang" and "Reg'lar Fellers" comedies. He be- came known again with reissue of the films to television under the title "The Little Rascals"
 But iii recent years his movie parts had been minor, and he worked as a bartender and hunt ing guide when not acting. He realized nothing from reissue of the old films.
 Police said Switzer had gone to the home of friend, M. s. Stiltz, 38, Wednesday night in an effort to collect a $50 loan.
 Detectives said Stiltz told them that an argument had developed and Switzer hit him on the head with a clock. Stiltz got a gun, and it fired harmlessly while they struggled, Stiltz said Switzer drew knife, and Stiltz shot him in the abdomen.

Washington Republican Wishes Gov. Egan We'll

WASHINGTON, LP - Represen- tative Thomas Pelly R-Wash) said Wednesday he is sure all members of Congress share his re- gret that Governor William A. Egan of Alaska is critically i'll in Seattle.
 He told the House Egan's ability is needed to help Alaska get off 10 a good start as a member of the union.
 Economically, Alaska is faced with difficult problems, and es- pecially in view of the fact that her principal industry and so- called cash crop is her fisheries resources" Pelly said. Owing to the refusal of the Japanese fish ing fleet to conform to conserva- ton, this source is badly depleted.
 "I had written to wish Bill Egan well as Governor, and to assure him of my cooperation and support. Now I can only express the deep and sincere hope that he recover, and speedily. Alaska needs him."

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALVERSON

Some of the satellites of Ju- piter are too small and faint to be easily seen through the tele- scope They are designated by numbers from to 12 in order of their discovery.
 The fifth satellite is the nearest of all to the planet. In the small eccentricity nd inclination of its orbit and its direct revolution it resembles the four bright sat elites.
 The seven outer satellites have orbits of considerable eccentricity and inclintion to the ecliptic. They fall into two groups. The sixth, seventh and tenth satellites revolve from west to east at mean distances of a little more than ? million miles from the planet. The eighth, ninth, eleventh a n d twelfth satellites revolve from east to west.
 Jupiter is bright morning star shining in the southeastern sky several hours before sunrise.

Khrushchev Seen Ready for Proxy War
While Talking With West at Summit

very much whether the Soviet
Union is in a position TO un-
leash another major conflict.
The Soviet military and
political leaders are fully
aware Of the danger to the
international Com m mist
cause from a destructive war.
This column has pointed out
this thinking repeatedly since
last January when 1t declared
the Soviet move in Berlin was
a mere camoufiage for in
creased Soviet activities in
the Middle East. These would
start with the taking over Of
Iraq, following which Moscow
will wage war against Iran.
The rushing Of more than
a dozen cargo boats with mod
ern military equipment to
Iraq and the presence Of
hundreds of Soviet military
instructors and experts in the
Iraqi army should have OPEN
ed the eyes of the Western
leaders to the designs of the
Kremlin.
We are fidgeting and fret
ting over the foreign minis
tiers conference next month,
to be followed by a summit
meeting sometime next sum-
mer, to discuss with our dedi-
Gated enemies the future of
the allies in Berlin and what
shall be done about the uni
flcation of the two Germanys.
And we have let the Russians
run away with the ball in the
Middle East. Khrushchev in
tended this to be so when he
started the Berlin crisis last
November.
We consider ourselves
helpless in the vital area of
the Middle East. When the
King of Iraq and his cabinet
were assasSinated last year
President Eisenhower or
dered the 9th Fleet and a
landing force to Lebanon to
stem the advance of COM
muniSm. Our allies in that
area, and particularly the
Turks who knew the score
better than our policy max
ers, urged that we give them
the green light and let them
go to Baghdad to support
the succession to the throne
of King HusSein of Jordan,
the legitimate successor of
the murdered FaiSal. Con-
fronted with the threat of

Mr.. Dulles studied the
President and his moods as
a country lawyer studies a
jury. He had had a long ex-
perience of demanding clients
possessed of great economic
power and accustomed to
having their own way. 1t is
not exactly a secret that
Dean Acheson in much the
same way gained the admir-

Truman.
Lack of time, if nothing
else, would deny this luxury
to Mr.. Herter, In the

gress, where he once served,

needful. The reality of the
situation still is that his
power stems from the Presi-
dent alone, and upon the
success of his relationship
with the President depends
his effectiveness in dealing

Russians Replace
Envoy to India

MOSCOW, April % (AP).-
Ivan Benediktov, envoy to In
dia for a brief time in 1858,
has been reappointed Ambassa-
dor to India, the Soviet news
agency Tass said today.
Mr.. Benediktov. currently
Minister of Agriculture of the
Russian Republic, was long
Agriculture Minister of the
.USSR before and after Stain.
He will succeed Panteleimon
K. Ponomarenko, who has been
relieved of his duties for trans
fer to other work.
The Tass report did not say
what new duties Mr.. Pomona
renko will have. He was for
many years head of the party
organization in the White
Russian Republic and later a
secretary of the Central Com.
mittee in Moscow under Stain.

The reports confirmed in
responsible quarters in
Washington that the Com
munistS have virtually taken
over Iraq focus attention on
another area Of imminent
crisis" for the free world
The Communist leadership
is skillful and knows how TO
exploit the timidity Of the
leaders of the free world. We
don't. Only recently the
Tibetan uprising should have
given us an admirable OPP
portunity against our Red

While the International
Communists purpose is to
dominate the world by what
ever means conceivable, the
great Western powers are
frequently moved not only by
fear of war but also selfish
interests. Under the pretext
Of "softening communism"
many Of the great free ma
tons have helped to build its
power and prestige. They &C
tually wanted outlets for
their production.
The Soviet Union under
the leadership Of Premier
Khrushchev has achieved
more important detectives
than under Stain, who
merely consolidated the So
Wet position Of strength by
the CONQUEST Of bordering
states. Khrushchev is ex-
panding Russia's influence to
the four corners Of the world.
The increasingly daring. &C
tons of the Soviet Union in
the Middle East affect all
the Western free nations,
while the beginning of Com
munist influence in the
Western Hemisphere affects
our country in particular.
The West has an ostrich
diplomacy because it is so
worried that a genuinely
strong stand may unleash a
third world war in which
nuclear weapons might be
used unrestrictedly. Khru-
shchev created a DOGGY man
when he announced last No

would hand over control of
Berlin to the puppet govern
ment of East Germany. The
West became alarmed to the
point of panic. In Washing

Americas Obligation to Cuba

ment TO send a commission
to Cuba to make q survey.
1t should be composed Of
economists and businessmen
as well as experts in labor
matters. Cuba's finances
should be examined and rec
concentrations made as to
what is needed to bolster the
economy Of the country and
stimulate the creation Of Jobs
for the idle.
Cuba, in short, needs a
complete overhauling from
the economic standpoint. If
this should involve some A.
nancial help from the United
States, this is a matter which
surely would be given due
consideration after a report
is received from a commits
sion Of competent observers
with a background knowl-
edge Of similar problems in
other Latin American coun-
tries.
Fidel Castro has for more
than two years been living in
the hills Of Cuba fighting a
revolution. His visit to this
country probably exposed
him for the first time to the
dispassionate examination Of
the outside world. He is a
devoted believer in revolu-
tionary doctrines and prob
ably has absorbed much from
his fellow-revolutionarie who
are more skillful than he is
in the ways Of national
socialism. Unhappily. the i'm
preston fingers here that
Castro could be used by
others and that he is naive
about the tactics of Com
munist infiltrators.
But, when all is said and
done, it is the future of Cuba
that is at stake, and the
United States, as the next
door neighbor and godfather
Of the little republic, still has
an obligation-by economic
means and by disinterested
advice.-to help bring stabil-
ity to the freedom seeking
people of Cuba.

The new Republican nation
al chairman, Senator Thrus-
ton Morton, is setting out
with complete sincerity to do
a job that simply cannot be
done. His impossible goal is
to maintain absolute neutral
ity within the COP. organi-
zation as between the 1860
presidential possibilities, the
open contender, Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon. and
the latent contender. Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York.
Happily for his state Of
mind, Kentuckian Morton
comes from a State where
politics is played for keeps.
He is able, therefore, to con-
front his present task with
philosophical awarenesS that
no man can be expected to
do better than his best.
He knows quite well that
real objectivity is found in
presidential politics as often
as a Beethoven sonata is
found in a roadside juke box.
Nevertheless, he is going to
give his top goal a determined
try; this is plain in his private
and public actions. All the
same, candid conversation
with him leaves the impress
sion that his realism has al
ready told him that while it
would be fine to do every
thing he has set for himself,
he will be fortunate to reach
two lesser but, at any rate,
actually attainable goals.
Above all, he wants the
1860 convention to leave the
COP. united. Specifically, he
hopes the Morton admins
tration of the national COM
mittee will be able to accom-
plish these things:

Morton Seeks to Keep Unity

both Mr.. Nixon and Mr..
Rockefeller.
The arrangements COM
mittee issues the gallery tick
cts. These will be carefully
controlled. The number al
lowed to any State will be
in proportion to its popula-
ton and its total pro-G.OP.
vote in the last presidential
election.
The credentials committee
settles contests between can
didateS for delegates. Did this
aspirant or that aspirant
legally win the delegate
strength Of such and such a
State? This committee will
be made up of men who are
as nearly able as is humanity
possible to decide the issues
on the evidence.
Now, all these Morton pre-
cautions, given good luck, will
indeed avoid another 1852
or 1910. But this is the very
most they can do. For neu-
trality is an illusion. The Re-
publican National Committee,
: itself, is, on the basis of con-
f1dential inquiries, pro-Nixon
by 4 to /. And most State and
county party units are in pro-
Nixon hands.
Moreover, the very prepa-
rations Senator Morton is
making - particularly those
against gallery -packfng-will
tend inevitably, though I'M
Intentionally, to favor Mr..
Nixon. Why? Because Gov.
Rockefeller will be an out
slider running against an in
slider. To deny any gallery
papering to Mr.. Nixon would
not hurt him in the least. But
to deny it to Gov. Rockefel-
Ter might well be to deny him
the best chance open to an
outsider-that is, emotionally
to blitz a convention origi-
nally determined to select an
other man.

So No Disputes Will Plague Party

charge that he was robbed"
and no candidate can cry

2. To make certain that the
convention galleries are not
"papered-that is, packed

In a word, Senator Morton
will be on the alert, in point
/, against repetition of 1852
and. in point 2, against any
recurrence of 1910.
The 1852 convention deep
ly split the COP. for a time.
The Eisenhower forces &C
cused hackers of the late
Senator Robert A. Taft of

Taft people on their side were
convinced that Taft had been
defeated only by phony prop

Willkieites in the galleries.

made it appear that the

How, then, will Senator

DAVID LAWRENCE

Fidel Castro has had the
linelight for several days
now, but it is an open secret
that his visit here has sharp
ly increased the worry that
the United States Govern
ment feels about the future
Of Cuba.
This leader OF a success
full revolution gives the i'm
preston that he Is a dedi-
Gated man and seeks only the
good Of his people, but. un-
fortunately. Cuba's destiny
Is not in his hands alone. II
anything happened that sud-
denly removed him from the
scene. matters would be much
worse. For the truth is, the
Communists have a toehold
in Cuba and have managed
to infiltrate the army, the
educational institutions and
the labor organizations.
Fidel Castro, himself, is not
a Communist, but his brother,
Raul, who heads the army,
has expressed on many occa-
sions his Communist SYM
pathies.
The big question is whether
the Communist underground
apparatus is in a position to
do great harm to the rela-
tons between the United
States and Cuba. The fear is
that it can achieve that re-
suit If economic conditions
grow worse and are exploited
in a wave Of anti-American-
ism.
Fidel Castro is quite right
in telling of the tragic plight
Of his people - the vast
amount of unemployment
and the weaknesses in the
economic structure. His visit
here had a profound effect
in the sense that it opened
the eyes of officials to the
fact that the Cuban Situa-
ton is far more urgent-and,
indeed, more dangerous
