The Air Force, for example, estimates that it loses many more men on leave on the highways than it does in the air. "When a pilot and his crew are aloft," one general once told me, "they are especially care ful. They have been taught that rot only are their own necks being risked, but their hitch hikers as well. Not to mention a couple of millions of dollars worth of government property in the form of hard-to-replace aircraft." The Army knows that the re duction of accidents in private driving depends to a great ex tent on the voluntary action of the individual driver. Careless Off Base The Army, as you may know, has long had an educational pro gram directed at the men who drive their own cars. The men, and women of the Arrriy are smart enough to know they would be in real trouble if they violated the speed laws on their bases. But, sometimes, they get a little careless on leave when turned loose with a heavy foot on a high-powered machine. "Soldiers," an Army man told me, "are encouraged to take public transportation on long trips during their leaves rather than take their own cars. We would rather that they leave their hacks in the lot on the base. Both the men and the car would be safe." The campaign seems to be making a little progress. The Army reports that during the first five months in 1955,. there was a 16 per cent decrease in the number of Army deaths on the highways in private cars. ANOTHER REVERE RIDE Portsmouth, N. H. (U.R) Paul Revere made a ride or two beside the Lexington trip. For instance, he rode to this city Dec. 13, 1774 to warn the pat riots that the British were plan ning to remove powder from Fort William and Mary. The next day, the patriots seized the fort and its ammunition. It was the first aggressive act of the Revoluionary War.

The bride, Mrs. Doris Jean Sil ver Oestreicher, collapsed and died Thursday while visiting friends here. Her physician, Dr. A. Samuel Manstein, who attended the girl when she died said her death was "a mystery to me." Cause Not Revealed An autopsy ordered by Dr. Melville J. Aston, medical ex aminer, apparently failed to re veal the cause of death. Dr. Aston report&d that the cause of death "will be determined at such a time when all necessary laboratory studies can be com pleted." Dr. Samuel H. Katz said he had been treating the attractive red-haired socialite for five years. He said her health was good except for minor ailments. Dr. Louis Tuft, an allergist of the Temple University Hospital staff, said Mrs. Oestreicher had been his patient since childhood and had been receiving hay fever treatment until last May. Funeral services for the young heiress were scheduled for to day. Mrs. Oestreicher, eloped with Earl Michael Oestreicher, 29, a Miami Beach, Fla., motorcycle patrolman, last June 24. The couple separated two weeks ago and Mrs. Oestreicher returned to the home of her parents. Met On Florida Trip Friends said the couple met while she was visting her uncle, Samuel Friendland of Miami Beach, founder and board chair man of Food Fair Stores, Inc. Her father, Herman R. Silver, is vice president of the food store corporation. Oestreicher arrived here by plane Thursday but declined to comment on his wife's death. His father, head of the Chicago Wood and Coal Co., said in Chi cago that his son telephoned him two weeks ago about the sepa ration but did not appear dis turbed. He said his son told him his bride had become homesick for her family and that the sep aration would be temporary. Court Records POLICE COURT Evelyn Gay Norton, -violation of basic rule. $10.

August Abundance Pours Into Local Markets Talk about a bonanza! Or hit ting the jackpot! Local markets are overflowing with an abund ance of good things.

Dr. Henry W. Turkel, coroner of the city and county of San Francisco, said in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that a cor oner should perform between 20 and 25 autopsies for every 100 deaths. Turkel said autopsy is the only certain way to find a true cause of death. Frequently, he said, an autopsy will uncover a crime which otherwise might pass unrecognized. Turkel said a study of 400 consecutive cases handled by his office showed that alarge per centage of deaths would have been attributed to incorrect causes if no autospy had been performed. us, fine variety and values in coast-caught fish.
