Handcuffs for
Reckless Driver
Salem police handcuffed Al
bert L. King, 1153 N. 19th street,
and hustled him off to jail Mon
day in a prowl car after a group
of enraged North Salem resi
dents had cornered him at the
intersection of Market and N.
Capitol streets.
King was charged with reck
less driving in a complaint sign
ed by R. L. Patton. The private
prosecutor was one of several
residents of the area who joined
the entire fleet of police cars in
trying to chase down King.
As a result of the charge, the
driver was handed one of the
stiffest penalties to be meted out
by police court for reckless driv
ing. He was fined $200 with a
30-day jail sentence to be sus
pended upon payment of the fine
and his driver's license was re
voked for one year.
A police report dealing with
the affair pointed out that King
lost a fender on one two-wheel
turn into an alley, his machine
side-swiped a garage, hit a fence
and a car as well as causing sev
eral motorists and children on
the streets to scatter.
Police said they detected an
odor of liquor on King's breath

Rayburn Seeks
To Restore Cuts
Washington. May 24 OP)
House Speaker Sam Rayburn
rallied administration forces to
day in an effort to restore what
he called an "ill-considered" cut
of $629,730,000 in second-year
foreign aid funds.
Rayburn told newsmen he
will appeal personally to the
house to override an appropria
tions committee recommenda
tion limiting the aid program
for the year beginning July 1
to $3,568,470,000 instead of the
$4,198,200,000 requested by
President Truman.
Paul G. Hoffman, chief of the
economic cooperation adminis
tration (ECA), said that if the
cut stands up through congress,
it will mean a "serious loss of
momentum" in European recov
ery. Hoffman said that if it does
stand, however, the ECA will
do "the best we can with what
enntfress cives us."
Rayburn's appeal will be made
when the house debates the ap
propriation bill Thursday.
Coming at a time when Sec
retary of State Acheson is meet
ing in Paris with the big four
foreign ministers, Rayburn said,
the committee action is "Ill
considered." The whole idea in taking up
the foreign-aid money bill at
this particular time, he ex
plained, was to strengthen Ache
son's hand during his discus
sions with the heads of other
governments, for that reason, he
said, the bill was moved ahead
on the house calendar and re
ported yesterday by the appro
priations committee.
