Every advantage counts when you're saving for your
"Independence Day." That's why it pays to put your
savings in an insured Savings and Loan Association.
You benefit by many important advantages.
Excellent returns from your money is one advantage.
Efficient service from men who know how to make
your dollars work harder for you is another.
And, of course, your money is safe because in
insured Associations your savings are protected
by sound management and substantial reserves.
They are insured up to $10,000 by the FSLIC-an
agency of the U. S. Government.
These are the reasons why Americans are putting
more of their savings account dollars into insured
Savings and Loan Associations than anywhere else!
Whether you're saving for an "Independence Day"
... or a "rainy day". . .visit your nearby insured
Association tomorrow.

Concern Voiced
About Congestion
Af Air Traffic
Washington (U.R) Avia
tion officials in government and
private industry today told of
plans and ideas for greatly in
creased control of planes in
flight to prevent collisions in
the air.
Investigators seeking the
cause of Saturday's fatal double
crash in Grand Canyon have
made no official finding, but the
circumstances pointed to the pos
sibility that the two airliners
ran into each other.
Many air-conscious people
have been voicing concern for
several year's about current air
traffic congestion and the like
lihood of critical congestion in
the future when there are more
and faster . planes. There was
some feeling today that last
week end's tragedy in Arizona
would have ironically beneficial
results in bringing more ener
gies to bear on solution of the
problem.
Programs Started
Long before the latest catas
trophe, plans and programs
were being started.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration has a $265,000,000 five
year plan or multiplying its
ground installations for air nav
igation and traffic control-radar,
radio signals and ground-to-air
communications. Congress re
cently voted $40,000,000 for the
first year's work.
The Air Transport association,
made up of the nation's 47
scheduled airlines, decided only
last week to make a big push in
ther search for a device to warn
pilots when they are on a col
lision course with another plane
nearby.
The CAA and the military are
working on the possibility of
using U. S. defense radar instal
lations in the control of non-military
aviation as well as mili
tary. These units are parts of the
SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground
Environment) system for detect
ing an enemy air attack and
guiding U. S. fighter planes to
the invaders.
Complete SAGE-type system
for the whole country, with ra
dar augmented by computers to
direct planes in the air, would
be expensive, but some quarters
feel such complete, full-time
control is necessary, or soon will
be. The several government and
industry air safety programs are
working in that direction.
The CAA's five-year plan en
visions 46 more airport surveil
lance radar installations. There
are 34 now operating. The plan
also would increase long-range
radar installations two now
operating and two more author
ized by adding 87 more. It
would add 459 new omni-direc-tional
radio ranges to the 418
now installed on the nation's air
lanes. There are no comparable fig
ures for the planned increase
of ground-to-air communcations.
The aim is to eliminate many of
the time-consuming relays of
messages from one air route con
trol station to another and
thence to a plane in the air, by
giving more of the stations di
rect communication with planes.

News Editors Demand Sweeping
Modernisation of Air Regulations
By UNITED PRESS
Newspapers across the coun
try demanded editorially today
that the government follow up
the tragic crash of two airliners
in Grand Canyon, apparently
after a collision, with a sweep
ing modernization of air traffic
regulations.
The Dallas Times Herald in a
front page editorial, called the
crash a "shocking reminder that
the problem of safety in air tra
vel is far from being solved." It
"called -for a thorough investiga
tion by all the agencies that su
pervise air services" and said
"public interest demands that
Congress review all the laws
and regulations that apply to
aviation."
In Denver, the Scripps-How-ard
Rocky Mountain News said
"We have been made tragically
aware of the mounting danger
of collisions. This is developing
naturally from the great in
crease in air traffic and plane
speeds, perhaps leaping danger-

Freed Priests To
Leave Shanghai
Hong Kong (U.R) Two Ro
man Catholic priests from San
Francisco who served three
years in Communist China's
prisons will leave Shanghai to
night by ship for Hong Kong,
it was reported today.
The Revs. John W. Clifford
and Thomas L. Phillips, were
released from Shanghai's notor
ious Ward Road Jail last June
16. Both were convicted by a
Red Chinese court on charges of
espionage and anti-state activi
ties. Bishop James Walsh told the
United Press by telephone from
Shanghai that the two priests
had informed him they will sail
aboard the steamer Hamburg to
night. The ship is scheduled to
arrive here Saturday.
Walsh said the two priests,
Jesuit missionaries, "had re
ceived instructions from their
superior to leave China."
The priests had said on their
release that they would await a
decision from their superiors be
fore deciding whether to remain
in China or return to the West.
Walsh said Phillips and Clif
ford were "well physically." He
said they have "just been taking
a rest since their release from
prison."
The bishop said that the two
priests have been "free to see
their Chinese friends here."
The release of the two priests
left 11 other U. S. citizens still
in Red Chinese jails.
past." The Tribune said the crash
should "hasten development of
a new, precise system for con
trolling all plane traffic on de
mestic airways."
The New York Times said
"whether or not the two passen
ger planes that now lie at the
bottom of the Grand Canyon
collided in midair, the need for
better aerial traffic control has
long been apparent." It said
"considering the statistics, it is
evident that the rules for the
regulation of air traffic need not
only revision but closer integra
tion with communications sys
tems on the ground and in the
air."
The New York Herald Tribune
called for "searching investiga
tion" into the crash and urged
special emphasis on "flight plans
that would avoid such dangerous
proximity and on the use of ra
dar a must on any commercial'
plane." t.
Plane Density
The Scripps - Howard New
York World-Telegram and Sun
said the inquiries should not stop
with fixing blame but "must pro
ceed to the transcending ques
tion of what to do about teeming
air traffic under operational
conditions that seemingly cannot
catch up with plane density."
The Washington Post and
Times Herald said experts "have
been bitterly complaining about
the obsolescence and inadequacy
of the present methods of air
traffic control." It said "The
Grand Canyon catastrophe sug
gests that the possibility of colli
sion in midflight can no longer
be ignored anywhere."
The San Francisco Chronicle
said "The ingenuity and techni
cal proficiency of the nation
must now be directed toward
evolving a traffic control system
fitting the needs of the day."

You!
Maybe he thought of it first In the cornfields of
Iowa or Illinois or Indiana.
Maybe along a Mississippi delta or in a street
canyon of New York or Boston or Philadelphia.
Maybe it came to him on a pony's back in
Oklahoma or New Mexico or on the sun-hot seat
of a combine in Kansas or Nebraska.
Wherever he may have been when the thought
came to him is of little consequence.
But the thought itself is of the essence: This is
America the land of freedom and opportunity
where a boy can grow up to be his own man.
And so on this anniversary of American Inde
pendence, we greet and congratulate him the
man of commerce, the lawyer, the physician, the
rancher, the banker, the actor, the politician, the
statesman the self-made man of accomplishment
in every line of human endeavor.
We know him well and along with our con
gratulations on his success, we should like to
register our sense of gratitude.
For such are the owners of Cadillacs the men
whose approval made the "Standard of the
World" so famous everywhere.
It is a rare privilege to know these men to
sell them their cars and to render them the type
of service they so richly deserve.
We feel it is appropriate to acknowledge it, most
gratefully, on this occasion when Americans do
honor to their great nation and its unparalleled
freedom of personal opportunity.
