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."

she received after singing seven arias at the Civic Opera
House:

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."
