Safe Driving
With the prospect that the
40 million motor vehicles now
being operated over the high
ways may be doubled within the
not distant future, there is urg
ent need for individual atten
tion to driving and walking hab
its. This was the assertion of

ber of Commerce Monday noon
Highway safety is the greatest
challenge to face the American
public today, declared Carpen
ter as he spoke of the 33,000
persons killed and the million
injured each year as the results
of traffic accidents.
Carpenter urged the Inclusion
of a course In automobile driv
ing in the currlculums of the
high schools. He stated that stu
dents taught through such
courses are from two to four
times less prone to be Involved
In accidents.
There is a strong need for
improvement in the techniques
used In driver instruction, said
the speaker. He said that many
persons drive by habit and that
such habits are "none too hot."
In touching upon law enforce
ment, Carpenter said that ticket
"fixing" should not be tolerated.

3 More Held
To Grand Jury
Three men were ordered held
for the grand Jury Monday fol
lowing a preliminary examina
tion in district court on burglary
charges resulting from the un
covering of an alleged chicken
stealing gang.
The trio involved in the court
action were Don Bosteader, Gary
A. Meredith and Leonard A.
Burns. Bail on the charge was
set at $1,000. Meredith and
Burns were ordered held for
grand jury action last week on
a similar case along with an
other man and two 18-year-old
girls.
In court, testimony showed
that chickens stolen by the gang
had been sold through a Salem
produce house.
The ring was uncovered by
state police. Thus far, eight ar
rests have been made. Two Juve
niles as well as the six who have
been in court on the charges
were nabbed and a warrant has
been issued for the arrest of an
other youth.
Probers Recall
Groves, Jordan
Washington, Dec. 12 (IP) The
house un-American activities
committee decided definitely, to
day to recall Lt. Gen. Leslie R,
Groves and former Major George
Racy Jordan for more question
ing on wartime atomic leaks to
the Russians.
Rep. Harrison (D., Va.), a
committee member, said that
Chairman Wood (D., Ga.) advis
ed the committee counsel, Frank
Tavenner, by telephone that he
wants Groves and Jordan to
come back to the witness chair.
Tavenner said he Willi ask them
to be here next Monday.
It was Jordan who testified
last week that the late Harry L.
Hopkins put on pressure to
speed an atomic shipment to
Russia during the winter of 1943-
44. Jordan said that at least a
man who said he was Hopkins
telephoned him at the- Great
Falls, Montana, air base where
Jordan was stationed.
Friends of Hopkins have com
mented that Hopkins was ill and
inactive In government in the
first half of 1944.
Groves testified that neither
Hopkins nor former Vice Pres
ident Henry Wallace tried to
pressure him Into supplying at
omic materials or secrets to the
Soviets.
There were indications that
some committee members want
to ask Groves more about some
of the things he has said in press
interviews since his testimony.
Another reason for recalling
Groves is the protests from re
publican committee members
that they were not present when
he was heard last week.

Cop Jailed for
7 Burqlaries
Jersey City, N.J., Dec. 12 VP)
Police today solved the long
series of thefts , on Patrolman
Francis McManus' beat. They
arrested the patrolman himself.
McManus, a 29-year-old pa
trolman who joined the force
two years ago, was booked on
seven charges- including break
ing, entering and larceny.
Police Capt. Olin W. Miller
said McManus admitted the
thefts.
Capt. Miller said McManus
would park his own car along
his beat and load it with loot
picked up during his series of
side ventures.
The last time he tried it he
had expanded his operations to
the point where his car was no
longer large enough, Capt.
Miller said. This time he
brought along a truck.
Detectives, who had become
suspicious about the constant
series of thefts when McManus
went out on his beat, trailed the
patrolman for several months.
Capt. Miller said McManus
was building his own home and
that most of the materials taken
along his beat appeared to be
intended for the construction
project,
Pope Hopes for
Return of Many
Vatican City, Dec. 12 (PI -
Pope Pius expressed the hope
today that the 1950 holy year
would bring back to the Catho
lic church those who have been
separated from it.
The pope spoke to cardinals
of the church in a secret con
sistory called to name three pa
pal delegates who, with the pon
tiff, will open the holy doors
of Rome's four major churches
on Christmas eve to begin the
holy year.
In his speech, released for
publication after the consistory,
the Pope said:
'May the Lord wish that also
those who have been completely
separated from the Catholic
church, or who because of negli
gence and prejudice have with
drawn themselves, feel in this
holy year a salutary movement
towards her and experience in
their souls an ardent desire for
that concorded unity and that
very upright truth to which the
Divine Redeemer not only called
us bv His teaching, but also
consecrated profoundly with His
precious blood."

Ex-PremierChun
In Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Dec. 12 (IP) For
mer Premier Chang Chun ar
rived here by plane today after
his release by nationalist desert
ers in Kunming.
Chang Chun was caught, along
with four top army commanders,
when turncoat troops took over
the city for the communists. He
had gone there Friday to hold
the governor of Yunnan prov
ince, Lu Han, in the nationalist
camp.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-
Shek narrowly missed going to
Kunming at the same time, na
tionalist sources revealed, and
apparently would have been
caught in the same trap.
In a brief interview with re
porters at the airport, Chang
Chun said he became suspicious
Friday night and asked Lu Han
to approve his departure, which
the governor did.
He left Kunming Sunday for
Haiphong by plane, accompanied
by his four aides. Chang Chun
added that he knew nothing of
the coup.
Ku Klux Trial
Jury Deadlocks
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 12 (IP)
A mis-trial was declared to
day in the case of a Ku Klux
Klan leader accused of masked
flogging.
The jury reported after de
liberating over the week-end
that it could not reach a verdict.
It received the case at 12:42 p.m.
Saturday.
A. B. Carradinc, 40-year-old
West Jefferson mechanic, was
tried on a charge he flogged
Jack Alexander and two others
the night of May 19.
He admitted being an officer
of the Stonewall Jackson Klav
ern at nearby Adamsville. But
he denied that he ever went on
Klan raids or wielded the lash
over any flogging victims.
Carradine claimed he was at
a ball game that May night. Two
state witnesses identified him as
the man with the lash.
Asistant Solicitor Cecil Dea-
son announced that Carradine
would be re-tried on the charge,
which carries a maximum pen
alty of 10 years.
Carradine is one of a group of
18 indicted after a wave of flog
gings and cross burning by
masked hoodlums here last
spring.
The state's leading witness,
Irvln Leon Key, a former Klans
man. testified that Carradine
wielded the lash over, three vic
tims In April and three in May.
Solicitor Emmett Perry asked
the jury in his closing argument
"not- to turn the Justice of this
state over to 'Judge Lash' and
trials by the Klan."
The U.S. bureau of reclama
tion estimates 16,840,000 more
acres could be Irrigated in west
em states.
