The 1853 tempest over nepo-
tism in Congress is starting To
subside into the teapot from
which it emerges every year OIL

and Congressman have rela-

custom will remain as en-.
trenched as ever.
And one coldly realistic rea-

Change Is Unlikely

But how you feel as an in
dividual voter isn't likely to
alter matters much unless pow
erful local groups organize to
demand a change. And that's
not easy to engineer when a
fat percentage Of the members
of most local groups are them
selves practicing nepotism on a
grand scale.
OF course. there's one vital
distinction. A relative on a
Congressman'S staff gets paid
with public funds-our tax
money. A relative on a corpora
ton payroll gets paid out Of
the earnings Of that corpora
ton. Having made that distinc-
ton, here are some facts about
nepotism in this antidynastic
democracy Of ours which may
raise your eyebrows a bit.
A survey by Fortune" of the
top executives of ITS of Amer
ica's largest corporations back

Home

The Eastern Stars appeal to
construct a home for the aged
at 2114 Noble rd. was recon-
mended to the city Commission
by the Board of Zoning Ap-
peals in it's Tuesdays meeting.
Eastern Star doesn't plan to
begin construction until some
time next year. They will not
accommodate more than SO
residents. There is a private
home on the property at this
time.
A request for permission to
build a parking lot at 1850
Hayden ave., was rejected.
Mike A. Rossi, owner of a va
cant lot on the northwest cor
ner of Pontiac and Hayden,
made the appeal. The coming
board rejected it because it
felt that the lot would not be
able to handle more than six
cars and that such lot would
be an undue nuisance to adjac-
ent homes.

accidents as females. Naturally,
they drive a lot more than the
gals do.
The least hazardous way to
travel is on a railroad passen-
ger train. Then comes buses
and scheduled planes. Passen-
ger cars and taxis are far be-
hind.
Saturday - not Sunday - is
the most dangerous day of the
week for drivers. About one
out of every five traffic fatal
tiles occurs that day. Sunday
is second most hazardous.
Safety men say the new in
terstate highway system can
save as many as $500 lives a
year, anu Illdl use VI seat UcIIS
could save an additional 5000
lives annually.
While few slow drivers ever
run afoul Of the law, they're
still a highway hazard, accord
ing to the National Safety
Council. Driving too slow can
cost a life-your life, or the
life of a motorist who takes a
chance and passes you when he
shouldn't. Keep pace with traf-
fic.
Odds are that if your car
isn't up to snuff, safetywise,
the fault will lie with the rear
lights, brakes, front lights or
exhaust system. When a haz-
ard is found at vehicle safety
checks, those four problems
are the ones that crop up most
often.

Little known facts abour
traffic safety:
Three times as many traffic
deaths occur in rural areas
including towns with less thar
$500 people than in urbar
areas.
Reason for this, according to
the National Safety Council;
the abundance Of driving done
on open roads, which most Of.
ten are in rural areas, and in
creased speed.
In most fatal auto accidents
only one car is involved.
Turnpikes have a lot fewer
traffic fatalities, based on
number of miles driven, than all
rural roads in the United
States. The average mileage
death rate recently was third
as high as the rate for rural
roads.
Males are involved in almost
eight times as many fatal auto

Secret Service Chief U. E

source for a counterfeit Gov

earlier this month.

night, a Secret Service agent

In addition to the four Mex
leans, Mr.. Baughman said, the
operatives seized zinc plates
used to make the almost
perfect counterfeit United
States Treasury checks, as well
as other plates for printing
fake social security identified
ton cards and drivers licenses
The arrests were believed tc
have practically eliminated the
ring, which had the. potential
for papering the United States
with 81 million in worthless
checks, Mr.. Baughman said.
The case came to light July
g with the arrest at National
Airport here of two men at
tempting to peddle 855 of the
checks for $4,000. Two other
arrests were made in Louisiana,

UnSuSpecting motorists also
have been surprised lately to
find more State police patrol
cars in the suburban areas. The
olive-drab-colored State cars
have been patrolling major
highways in greater numbers.
Col. McAuliffe said that sew
eral Detective Bureau cars are
assigned to Silver Spring, the
Springfield subdivision near
Kenwood Country Club and
Damascus, where there have
been complaints about hot
rodderS.
Col. McAuliffe said the cars
are being sent out for two-week
periods in the high-accident
territories, with very effective
results. The safety campaign
in Silver Spring is being con-
centrated on VierS Mill road,
Georgia avenue, Colesville road,
EaSt-West highway and Piney
Branch road, with a noticeable
reduction in the number of ac-
cidents and also in the speed

The Senate and House COM

The disadvantage of it, how

much influence on people who
have no respect for codes of

He assailed James r. Hoffa,
president of the Transfers

president of the AFL-CIO, for
campaigning to tone down even

Labor leaders oppose the

bitterly than the committee

Disputing the official labor

commended the pending bills

towing the Seattle fishing boat

clue to the fate of her owner

The 50-foot craft was found

The Coast Guard said her

Those arrested were two

pert engraving work, and One

and the check passerS and

Mr.. Baughman said the seized
