America is vigorous in
poetry in mid-century as
represented by this selection
Of works published during
the year. The following
books are noticed roughly
in chronological order, from
the oldest poets down to the
youngest.
Witter Bynner's New
Poems" are lightning short,
like japanese poems, and
have a quality Of incisive
intimacy. Here is an ex-
ample Of his 1.-the, lean.
piercing poems; each reveals
some facet Of truth:
Kindness Can Go Too High
Even in Hedpen
A hank carrying a fish
For instance
And giuing it air.
Mark Van Doren is a
scholar who strived in his
poems for a direct speech
within learned confines Of
poetry. ("Morning Worship
and Other Poems.
It is a pleasure to read
a poet who can write THE
Love Songs Of Oberon" and
bring the look Of Titinia's
eyes to ours! And to read
a scholar-poet who can be-
gin a poem "Herrick, hello"
He writes poems to living
frie DIS. His series Of
Ounce Songs" reminds one
Of the Crazy Jane poems Of
Yeats. but are not SO fierce.
Van Doren says. I'm bitter

Poems) establishes a rare
poetic edifice of both SEN
suous and intellectual rich
ness. He composes poetry
by musical principles which
he explains in Notes To-
ward a Prosody for the Long
Poem" His long poems are
vast projections Of a subtle.
exquisite but rugged sensi-
bility. This extraordinary
work can be read many
times with pleasure.
I. A. Richards. one Of the
leading literary critics OF the
century. has taken to poetry
in his sixties. His first book
had a warm poem about
Lighting Fires in Snow"
others fascinated either by
form or by metaphysical wit.
His new and second book,
("The Screens and Other
Poems") shows him develop
ing a concentrated style. Rar-
ity of mind gives lofty
glimpses Of philosophy caught
in screens. His enthusiasm
for life shows through the
screens. This is the critic as
poetic word wonder-worker.
He supplies an apparatus OF
prose criticism at the end.

Blues Notes Linger Over Newport
After Riots Cut Short Jazz Festival
BY JAMES LEE
Contributins Writer

NEWPORT. r. l.. July A.
The streets of this resort town
are strangely quiet today, as
saddened jazz fans return to
their homes after the seventh
annual Jazz Festival was cut
short by violence and rioting.
Newport police and Rhode
Island State troopers arrested
some zoe persons early yesCer-
day after a pitched battle
against a mob of $4,000 armed
with bottles and beer cans.
Shortly after midnight yes
terday Gov. Christopher Del
Sesto called out 80 National
Guardsmen, and so Marines
from Newport Naval Base joined
in to supplement the local po-
lice and so State troopers al
ready in the city. All traf1ic
coming into Newport was
halted.
More Than 100 Injured
During the riots three State
troopers and over 100 rioters
were injured police said.
The battle with the mob be-
gan at Freebody Park, where
festival performances are held,
shortly after the Saturday eve
ming show began.
Some 1000 persons, unable
to obtain tickets, attempted to
force their way into the park.
The crowd attacked police and
attempted to batter down the
park gates. Violence increased
in the early hours of yesterday
morning.
Crowds scaled the walls of
nearby buildings and at
tempted to climb the walls of
the park. but police were sue
cessful in restraining them.
Later they rushed the gates
and police were forced to use
tear gas and fire hoses to rout
the mob.
Fire Truck Overturned
On nearby Memorial boule-
ward, police battled a crowd
which overturned a fire truck.
Once again the rioting masses
used bottles and empty beer
cans against the police.
The crowd was finally Quilted
by police and National Guards
men. But a series of violent
events continued to occur
around the city.
Police and members of the
National Guard patrolled
streets, making searches and
arrests. Some 1000 persons
were herded onto nearby
beaches where they could be
controlled by police.
Inside the park, fans listened
to an evening Of jazz unaware
of the violence around them.
AS they left the stadium many
became innocent victims of
police attempts to maintain
order. Some were stopped by
officers and some were ar
rested.

Medicine Hat Aims
At 1000 Safe Days

MEDICINE HAT, Alberta.
July 4 (AP).-An 11-year-
old girl was killed here this
spring when a car in which
her family was riding rammed
into the back Of a truck haul
ing power poles.
The accident was more than
a family tragedy-it shocked
and disappointed this safety
conscious city of $4,000.
Marilyn Shortreed's death
was Medicine Hats first in
1880 days, a record for United
States and Canadian cities of
more than 10000. 1t abruptly
cut short plans for a civic cele-
bration to make the city's
2,000th fstality-free day.
You have to go back 5la
years to the previous Medicine
Hat traffic fatality, which oc-
Cured in 1854 when a 2-year-
old girl fell from the back of a
milk truck. The reaction to
that accident led to one Of the
most successful safety cam
paigns in North America.
Citizens Buckle Down
Ordinary citizens and off,
cials responsible for the safety
program have buckled down
for a new campaign aimed at
bettering their mark Of 1880
days.
Police Chief A. r. Bull says
his department is not consider
ing any action as a result of
the fatal accident Of April IA.
I'VE believe in a policy of
steady enforcement in traffic
laws" he says. Il don't be-
lieve in crackdowns. Steady
enforcement without a lot of
publicity is the best safety
program"
But the city is taking steps
to tighten its program. Instead
of warnings for drivers Of un-
safe automobiles, it is issuing
court summonses. And a law
against jay-wslking is being
considered.
Reasons for Safety Record
What are the major con-
tributing factors to Medicine
Hats safety record?

Lightning Kills Boy,
Sets Bedding Afire

NEW YORK, July 4 (AP).-
Lightning struck and killed an
8-year-old boy sleeping in an
upstairs bedroom last night.
The bolt, which also set the
boys bedding and mattress on
fire, ripped through a second
story window.
The boy, William Mariko-
vicks, screamed and his father,
Charles Marikovicks, ran into
the room and beat out the
flames. Attempts to resuscitate
the youth failed.

'euoy " NY uSu"'
In 1855, a year after the
death of Wendy Startling, the
city's Safety Council put on
a campaign for an accident
free Christmas season. Haz-
ardous corners we're marked,
high hedges that might OBJ
struct vision were ordered
trimmed, and corners with
high accident rates were listed
for signs.
1t was decided that since
most adults were beyond the in
fiuence of basic safety educa-
ton. the campaign should con-
.centrate on preschool and
school children.
The Safety Council began
conducting safety lessons in all
grades. A service club helped by
sending members to parks and
Fairgrounds. Dressed as Elmer.
;he safety elephant, they taught
safety to preschool youngsters.
Youngsters Get instruction
Since then more than 1000
children have been given safety
instruction. Pedestrian habits
are taught up to the third grade
level and the Pedal Pushers'
Club emphasizes bicycle safety
for older pupils.
In junior and senior high
schools, authorities attempt to
impress new drivers with the
importance of proper attitudes
and responsibilities. The idea
is that after the age Of Is or
II it is difficult to change the
habits Of drivers.
No single part OF the program
is particularly dramatic. but it
paid of once in preserving Med
icine Hat from fatal road acci-
dents for 5l2 years. Officials
are confident the same approach
will produce similar results in
the future.

the County ASC office to estab-
fish eligibility and secure a bal
lot.
Ballots list nominees of the
community election boards and,
when nominated, nominees by pc
tition. In addition, each ballot
provides places where voters may
write in the names of candidates
and vote for them.
Each voter is asked to vote for
five persons, since there are five
committee posts to be filled in
each community. The person re-
ceiving the most votes becomes
chairman and the four other
places are filled by the candi-
Gates receiving the next highest
vote totals.
Mrs. Frost explained that this
annual election of farmers and
ranchers to ASC committees is
being conducted by an election
board headed by Dean Davidson
county extension agent, and in
Guiding representatives of farm
