Charge Filed in Portland Robbery Portland (IPl U.S. Commissioner Claire Mun dorff Wednesday filed a com plaint charging Joseph Orton Smith, 33, with violation of the federal bank robbery statute in connection with a holdup here in 1955. Smith, arrested last week in Mobile, Ala., told police he robbed the Metropolitan branch of the U.S. National Bank here of $3280 on Oct. 17, 1955. W. H. Williams, special agent in charge of the local FBI office, said Smith probably would be arraigned in Mobile today for removal i here. ! Chicago (IP Forty -five : years ago, a group of steel ! (industry officials met in a 'small office in Milwaukee to talk about accident preven tion in their plants. From that small beginning in 1913 grew the National Safety Council, today the "big business" of safety. The council, with the growth of industry, popula tion and travel in the United States, has expanded into an organization which today has an annual budget of S4 to S5 million, a payroll of more than 400 persons, and 12,500 member organizations. Even church groups lend a helping hand. Its national headquarters here spread over 90,000 square feet of office space. Branch offices operate at New York and San Francisco. One of Five Categories To the general public, the council's name and work per haps are best known through newspaper mention ot its recommendations for safe driving, its traffic statistics, its warnings that highway safety is every driver's con cern. But that is only one of the five major categories in which the. council tries to preserve the life and limb of careless man. Others are homes, indus tries, farms and schools. The various activities were ex panded after it had proven effective in promoting safe working conditions and work ers' practices in factories and plants in the first years of its existence, and the council went into the field of public safety in the 1920s. "This was partly a result of a feeling by some persons that safety off the job was as important to industry as safe ty on the job," says Jack Hor ner, a council spokesman. New Programs Approximately 20 field service men are sent from the Chicago headquarters to help j develop safety programs i throughout the country. Next to automobile traffic, which took about 40,000 lives last year, the home is classed as the greatest potential source of mishaps. About 28, 000 lives were lost last year in home accidents, Horner said, and this field remains one of the most difficult in which to do a persuasive job of selling safety. "A man's home is his castle," Horner said. "Most persons view dimly any at tempt to organize their per sonal living habits even to ward the goal of greater safe ty. The council must depend on public education to reach inside the front door The industrial safety pro gram has continued since its start almost half a century ago by the steel company offi cials. "An indication of the con tinuing interest the steel in dustry has shown in safety is the low accident rate in this fair, hazardous field," Horner said. In farms and schools, the council works through special divisions, ranging from women's clubs and labor or ganlzations to religious groups. Each directs its efforts Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Washington Rep. Daniel A. Reed (R-N.Y.), 82, on the death of Rep. Lawrence H. Smith (R-Wis.), who collapsed of a heart attack in the House restaurant, just in front of Reed, and died shortly afterwards: "It was one of the greatest shocks I suffered in a long time." San Francisco Sister Celestine of St. Elizabeth's hos pital, a Roman Catholic institution, on the 10-year-old San Jose, Calif., girl who gave birth to a seven-pound boy Tues day night: v "She's had more attention here and better food than she ever had in her life. I think she'll adjust well." Los Angeles Air Force Capt. Iven C. Kincheloe, 29, of Cassopolis, Mich., on his training for flight beyond the earth's gravity field: . "A few times we've (he and another pilot) undergoing similar training both experienced zero gravity) that weird feeling of weightlessness in space, when the tips of your fingers and feet feel strange and the sensation comes all the way down your back." Chicago Prima Donna Maria Meneghini-Callas. the moody diva, on the dozen curtain calls and standing ovation she received after singing seven arias at the Civic Opera House: "I'm very happy. Now I can sleep again." primarily in the fields with which it is most closely allied, Horner said, although none is limited by the council. Religious Division A religious division was opened about 18 months ago to work with the increasing number of church groups be ginning to interest themselves in safety. They approach the problem on the basis that "saving of lives is a moral obligation," Horner said. Any group is welcome to join the council. Council members pay dues according to the number of employees they have or the type of service they receive. The dues cover about four fifths of the over-all budget. The rest of the council's funds come from contribu tions (which are tax free), from sale of safety materials and of 13 magazines the coun cil publishes, and from con sultation fees. The policy-making of the council is done by a board of directors who serve without pay. They are elected from the membership as are sev eral hundred unpaid "asso ciates." The directors name a paid, titular head of the council. Ned Dearborn, former dean of the college of education of New York University, has held the post since 1941. The council has a congres sional charter and a number of federal agencies, including the Post Office Department and the Air Force, are mem bers. It functions almost com pletely as an information clearing house and as an ad visor to the nearly 300 local and state safety councils. Pilots Knocking At Door of Space In Test Flights Los Angeles TP) American test pilots already are knock ing at the door of space in flights preparatory to launch ing the X15 rocket ship late this year or early in 1959, two research pilots disclosed Wednesday. Air Force Capt. Iven C. Kincheloe, 29, C a ssopolis, Mich., and civilian Joe A. Walker, 36, Washington, Pa., member of a joint operational team for the National Ad visory Committee for Aeron autics, told a press conference they are well into the train ing phases for rocketing more than 100 miles above the earth. "We're not just sitting here waiting for the X15," said Kinchelos. "Every week one cf us is up in the XI or X1B (experimental predecessors to the X15) trying out the reac tion controls to see what we've got to work with." Maximum Speed Sought Kincheloe has been design ated to establish the XI 5 "maximum speed and alti tude" after it is flight-demonstrated by test pilot Scott Crossfield, 36, of North Amer ican Aviation Co., currently building three XI 5s for the NACA. Then Walker will take over the revolutionary aircraft for NACA to conduct "detailed flight research." Kincheloe, a Korean war ace, flew to the fringes of space on Sept. 7, 1956, when he piloted the X2 rocket ship to a record altitude of 24 miles and experienced "zero gravity" or weightlessness beyond the pull of the earth for about 50 seconds, he said. Crossfield has disclosed that his initial flight in the X15 might come "toward the end of this year," but Kinch eloe and Walker said they expected their part in manned conquest of space would come some time between January and March of 1959. , Indian Woman Sues On Sale of Timber Portland (IP) Coralie Crawford Nelson, an Indian woman living in California, filed suit in Federal Court here to try to stop the govern ment from selling her Klam ath reservation timber. She claimed the 1954 act calling for termination of government control of the Klamath reservation prevents the Indian Bureau from sell ing the timber. The suit said three companies have con tacted to cut and buy more than three million feet of her timber on a selective or sus tained yield basis, or both. She claimed she would realize more from its sale if the tim ber were sold under contracts permitting clear cutting. The name "penguin" is be lieved to have originated with 17th-century Spanish naviga tors, who called the birds "pinguinos," from 'pinguigo" or "greasy one." INVENTOR DIES Passaic, N.J.
