"It seats 43 passengers and gives each 'front seat' visi bility, because the bus not only hss spacious windows but is also equip ped with two windshields and sky lights that enable passengers to see the sky, tops of trees and mountains and otherwise greatly increasing the view of features along the highways. "The bus is more than 90 percent safety glass above seat level, and the glare and strain of strong sun light is filtered out by a new tint i g method which does not inter fere in any way with clear vision. The bus has lavatory, drinking fountain, two way radio, public address system and facilities for playing recorded music. "Wherever the Scenicruiser has been shown it haa attracted thou sands of interested people," said Murray, "and the new bus has been acclaimed aa a revolutionary n w development in highway transportation.

Pepper 'Br The AtMrlatffd Prii Florida Democrats will decide to morrow whether to keep Claude Pepper in the U. S Senate or re place him with Rep. George Smath- The Democratic primary, In which Communism and parts of the ih nartv ' Ballot box fireworks In those two states are likely to overshadow pri maries in Ohio, where Democrats will pick an opponent for Senator Taft (ROhio), and in Indiana, where both parties will nominate for 11 House seats. Florida voters will decide what looks like a photofinish race be tween the veteran Senator Pepper and Smathers, 36-year-old former marine. The primary winner isn t expected to have any trouble with Republican opposition in Novem ber, as only 60,595 Republicans are Smathers has been trying to hang "la pro-Red label on I'epuer, con Ml tending that the senator has been too friendly with organizations Smathers calls pro-Communist. Denying this hotly, Pepper has fired back that Smathers has been running "a Republican campaign against ma in a Democratic pri mary." Pepper says he haa fol lowed the "Roosevelt-Truman pro gram." The President's civil rights pro posals have figured in the Florida , campaign, but not to the degree in national Democratic party Hill hasn't bothered to campaign against his primary opponent, Law rence McNeil, but he and Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) have been con lending that the best way to get benefits for Alabama is for the state party to turn away from the ' rights group it followed in 1948 and go back into the national fold. Both sides are strongly opposed to the President's civil rights pro grain, but differ on whether they houl(l ''Kh " 'm within or out- side of the national party. In Ohio, aeven Democrats are try ing for the senatorial nomination to oppose Taft. The choice is ex pected to lie between State Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson and Mayor Michael V. Disalle of Toledo In a state where organized labor ia gunning for Taft, the CIO-PAC didn't endorse one candidate in the Democratic primary. The Truman administration says it is keeping its hands off the primary race. Indiana house races haven't whipped up any interest outside tha slate. The campaign will begin to get hot, however, after the Demo crata hold a convention June 27 to nominate an opponent for Senator Homer Capehart, who is expected to get renoniination at a June 30 Republican convention.

Kansas City Gambling Nets Millions Yearly IContinufff' from page One) lowed the jury's report was the firing of Samuel C. Hayden as an assistant Jackson county prosecu tor. Hayden waa among IS persons named as operators of Kansas City's largest dice game. Hayden denied the accusation. Others listed as operators were Gargotta and Robert S. Greene, county superintendent of buildings. In its bitter condemnation of gamblers, the jury said: "It is shocking to learn that regular system of law violations can develop and that operators of gambling houses grow fat and wax arrogant with the profits of their nefarious enterprises apparently without the slightest danger of prosecution for their violations of the state law." In addition to ita report on gambling, the jury said tens of thousands of dollars were exacted in Kansas City from business firms by jumping or threatening to jump real estate or personal property taxes. Edward D. Collins Sr., and Claude Lewis, deputy assessors, were listed as the men involved. The report said the tax fixing oc curred under the administration of County Assessor George R. Clark, a political associate of Rinagaio. - W. I. L.

Traffic Death Rate Short Of Record Low Oregon's traffic death rate is failing to match the all-time low established in the early months of 1949. Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported Friday. The traffic rate is a figure rep resenting the number of lives lost in each 100 million miles of travel, as computed from gasoline con sumption records and total accident fatalities. It is estimated at 5.4 for the three-month period ending March 31. as compared with 4.7 at the end of March last year. Despite the increase, Newbry said the rate is running well be low the yearly average because fatal mishaps are not keeping pace with the large gain in motor ve hicle travel. He warned, however, that the upsurge thus far this year may indicate a reversal of the trend. April traffic death reoorts now being compiled show a number of high speed collisions and loss-of-control smash-ups on inter -city highways, the secretary said. Rec ords for past years reveal that about three out of four lives lost in Oregon traffic are due to acci dents in rural areas, with exces sive speed the most common con tributing factor.
