2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Wed. Aug. 7, 1957 Holmes Proposes New Approach On Traffic Control PORTLAND Ifl Gov. Hubert Holmes said Tuesday that if pro motional campaigns prove ineffec tive in cutting down traffic acci dents, Oregon will have to "write more stringent laws and compel sterner punishments for law breakers." Holmes told the Portland Junior Chamber of Commerce such slo gans as "The life you save may be your own" are not as effective as they might be. Said Holmes: "It is not fear we should emphasize, but responsibil ityand the dignity and satisfac tion of being responsible. "When it becomes pleasant and fashionable to praise a driver for his common sense, people will exercise common sense. When we cease to hang breathless on the boasts of a god of speed, and ex clude him from our society, there won't be so many gods of speed," said the governor. Holmes accepted a first place award for pedestrian protection on behalf of Oregon. A spokesman for the American Automobile Assn., in making the award, said Oregon's traffic death rate last year was 3.1 per 100,000 population. Protestants Decide To Take Diplomacy Stand NEW HAVEN, Conn. I Prot estant and Orthodox church offi cials have decided (o undertake hroad inquiry into problems of religious liberty. It envisages di rect talks with Roman Catholic leaders. In a turbulent session of the World Council of Churches, dele gates last night threshed through a mass of proposed resolutions .several aimed at the Roman Cath olic Church and tossed them all out. Instead of issuing pronounce ments, the council's policy-making Central Committee decided to put its diplomats to work. "Other means can be much more efficient than general statements," said Lutheran Bishop Hanns Lilje of Hannover, Germany. "Negotia tions, correspondence and personal visits can often produce more re sults." But there was a verbal tide as the meeting, on the eve of its ad journment, pondered what to do about areas of reported friction on religious matters particularly in Roman Catholic countries.

Air Academy Chapel Plans Criticized WASHINGTON MV-For the sec ond time in two years, the House has blocked plans to build a mod ernistic chapel at the new Air Force Academy. Subject to a roll call vote to day, the House decided 102-53 Tues day to forbid use of funds in a money bill to build the chapel as it is now designed.

The Air Force came back this year with new plans and a re quest for three million dollars to start the project, but the House said no.
