Citizen, Official Support
Urged For Traffic Safety
The apparent need for pub-1 ties
lie support of both citizens
and officials to improve traf
fic safety is the main finding
of the 1953 Western Regional
citizen Leadership Confer
ence for Traffic Safety-; ac
cording to Russ Jamison, who
represented the Medford Safe
ty council at the meeting.
Mayor John Snider and C.
D. Larson, both of Medford,
also attended the meeting,
which was called by the pres
ident, in San Francisco on
April 7 and 8. Oregon dele
gates to the meeting number
ed 54. The western regional
meeting was the third of four
planned in the United States
during April, according to
Jamison.
Each of the 11 western
states reported on traffic saf
ety problems and on success
ful solutions they have used
for lowering accident rates.
A complete report of the con
ference will be forwarded to
each attending and to the
president.' The four regional
reports will then be turned
over to a committee for study
on the nation's traffic prob
lems, Jamison said.
Supports Six Points
The Western regional con
ference voted its support on
six . major points at the San
Francisco meeting. It support
ed the enactment of a uni
form vehicle code, broaden
ing of driver education tor
all high school students,
stronger driver control by re
examinations, strengthening
of enforcement by police
agencies, a stricter traffic
court system and improve
ment of accident records to
make better use of the exist
ing records.
Jamison said although each
city represented differed
slightly on these points, most
cities agreed in principle.
Earlier in the conference,
Mayor Snider had delivered
an address which pointed out
the need in smaller communi-
for establishment oi a
maximum speed limit in
cities, providing a city traffic
warrant enforceable outside
of city limits, the removal of
uncertain factors concerning
Teenagers Hurt
In Auto Accident
North of Phoenix
Three teenage girls were
injured this morning when
the vehicle in which they
were riding went out of con
trol on North Phoenix . rd
about one-quarter mile north
of Phoenix, according to Ore
gon state police.
Hospitalized at Rogue Val
ley hospital is Miss Patricia
Ann Imhausen, 16, of route
3, box 108, Medford, a passen
ger in the automobile. She
was taken to the hospital by
Medford ambulance and is re
ported suffering from head
injuries, lacerations and
bruises.
Treated and released from

Miss Dana Halaas, 16, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James

alcohol tests for drivers and
for more engineering alert
ness to keep up with expand
ing traffic needs.
Snider told the group fig
ures compiled by the League
of Oregon Cities' traffic com
mittee show about 70 per
cent of all Oregon traffic acci
dents take place in cities. He
noted only 22 per cent of
fatalities take place in the
city and said this is because
of lower speeds and more en
forcement by police. How
ever, about 50 per cent of
traffic accident injuries take
place in city limits, he said.
He explained the average
city is now attempting to ad
just its 25 to 50-year-old
street system to today's traf
fic needs which require free
ways, railroad crossings, com
plicated cloverleafs, one-way
couplets and others. The re
sult is a never-ending night
mare for traffic engineers, he
noted.
Snider said the basic rule
in Oregon is fine for wide,
open highways but noted the
need for a speed limit in
cities. He told the group about
the needs for enforcing a traf
fic warrant outside of the city
which would reduce the prob
lems of non-city residents
avoiding traffic fines. .
Urges Standard Procedure
The problem of the drink
ing driver might be solved
with a uniform method of
blood sample for intoxicating
liquor, he said. He urged a
state law which would stand
ardize procedure and perhaps
require such a test by placing
a withdrawal agreement
clause cn a driver's license
when issued.
Planning for the future in
traffic engineering was urged
by Snider. He said the need
is for bold plans for future
major traffic carrying routes
both statewide and nation
wide. He urged traffic engi
neers not to forget the sec
ondary or inter-change routes
in preparing future plans.
A special meeting of the
Medford safety council will
be called when copies of the
conference are received, ac
cording to Jamison. He said
Mayor Snider ' would also
give a special report of the
two-day meeting at a future
meeting of the council.
Jamison said results of the
conference "will probably not
be known for some time un
til government experts have
had a chance to study all four
regional reports and to pre
pare single reports.
THE CLUE
Nashville, Tenn. (IP) The
phone rang after Mrs. Earl
Fessy got home, and the me
chanic asked her if she hadn't
lost some money when she
paid for some repair work.
She checked, found she had.
"How did you know it was
mine?" she asked. "The bills
I found on the floor had the
same perfume on them as the
money you used to pay me,"
he explained.

Warning Given on
Drug Used for
Acute Depression
San Francisco (IP) A drug
frequently prescribed as a
stimulant in cases of acute
depression has been suspected
of causing "numerous deaths"
because it is "dangerously
mislabeled," according to Cor
oner Henry Turkel.
The coroner identified the
drug as Iprbniazid, popularly
known as "Marsilid." It is
manufactured by Hoffman
Laroche of Nutley, N.J.
"A bottle I picked from
a pharmacist's shelf here calls
for a dosage three to four
times excessive of the safe
amount," Turkel said.
Public Notice Urged
"Widest possible public no
tice should be given so that
physicians and druggists
should at once reduce the dos
age according to the manu
facturer's newer recommenda
tions," he said.
A spokesman for Hoffman-
Laroche, contacted at the
firm's New Jersey headquar
ters, said the danger of fol
lowing the original instruc
tions in administering the
drug "was sent to every doc
tor and pharmaceutical firm
on our list."
Dr. S. E. Svenson of Hoff
man -Laroche's medical de
partment said the pamphlet
sent out by the company "rec
ommended a drop in dosage
from the original 300 milli
grams to less than 50."
Turkel said he checked
many physicians " and . hos
pitals here, but found that
"not one of them was aware
of the danger or that the firm
had changed the instructions.'
Dosage Causes Death
The coroner said the poten
tial deadliness of an over
dose of Marsilid came to light
when Frances Simpson, 55,
died March 27. An autopsy
was held and the coroner's
jury Thursday officially list
ed the cause of death as "dos
age of 150 milligrams of Mar
silid per day."
Turkel said Mrs. Simpson's
death was the first to be link
ed to the drug in San Fran
cisco, but he had been re
liably informed that "numer
ous other deaths throughout
the country" have occurred.

Allies Seen in
Summit Session
Washington (IP) Sen. A. S.
Mike Monroney (D-Okla.) said
today America's European al
lies are determined to have
a "summit" meeting and will
hold one regardless of wheth
er the United States attends.
Monroney, just returned
from an official trip to Eu
rope, said "If we don't go
to the summit, there'll be a
conference anyway" and Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles "will be on our own
summit talking to himself."
Monroney said in an inter
view he found such European
nations as France and Britain
would be going to a heads-of-government
meeting "just
as skeptical as we are but
willing to sit down and talk"
in an effort to work out con
structive agreements with the
Soviets.
The senator visited Switzer
land, France and West Ger
many as a U.S. delegate to
the Executive Council of the
Interparliamentary Union.
He said he found "there is
no feeling that our policy
means much any more."
Wallace Insulted At Demo Meeting
Coos Bay (IP) Lew Wal
lace of Portland, candidate
for the Democratic nomina
tion for governor, arrived
Thursday for a Democratic
meeting at Coquille and found
he was not on the program.
Wallace said: "This is the
first insult I have had in my
careeer as a Democrat in Ore
gon." The Coquille dinner meet
ing was arranged at request
of Congressman Charles O.
Porter of Eugene. In charge
of arrangements was Robert
E. Jones, Coos county Demo
cratic chairman. He said that
Wallace was invited earlier
but had had a previous en
gagement. Jones said the gu
bernatorial candidate arrived
unannounced.
After his arrival, Wallace
learned that Porter was to
be the only speaker except
for a few remarks by State
Chairman Dave Epps.
Wallace commented: "I
have been the Democratic
party's candidate for governor
several times, and I have serv
ed the party as treasurer and
National Committeeman with
out ever before being denied
the right to speak at a Demo
cratic gathering."

Checkmate for Miles
)
Kelthane is the outstanding new miticide for
superior, low-cost, all-round mite control of
apples and pears.
Applied in your regular petal fall or first cover
spray, Kelthane will give you a thorough
clean-up of European red and clover mites.
The remarkable residual effectiveness of
Kelthane will prevent an early build-up of
two-spotted, McDaniel and related species.
This single Kelthane application, early in
the season, is usually sufficient to keep mite
populations at or near zero levels for extended
periods. Additional advantages of Kelthane
are:
1. Safety on foliage and fruit even on sensi
tive varieties such as Anjou and Cornice
pears '
2. Fast kill
3. Safe to handle and .apply
For more effective and economical mite con
trol on apples, pears and other fruits, plan to
use Kelthane. Your pesticide supplier has
it in stock.

Take a new Cadillac point its hood toward some
distant destination and watch what happens!
We would be willing to wager that day's end would
find you far closer to journey's end than you could
ever have imagined!
We. say this because we know how wonderful the
miles are when they pass beneath the wheels of a
new Cadillac and how tempting distance is when
seen through the windshield of the "car of cars"
First of all, imagine how comfortable and rested
you would be! The seat-cushions are soft and deep
and perfectly contoured. The steering wheel is ideally
positioned . . . and the car is wonderfully spacious.

VISIT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALER
Then consider how easy the car is to handle! It is
incredibly agile and responsive and wonderfully
smooth and level of ride. In fact, if you have selected
the extra-cost option of Cadillac's air suspension,
you can scarcely detect the presence of the road.
And think of your pride and contentment! The
very knowledge that your motor car is so highly
admired and so widely respected adds its own reward
to each and every mile. .
You ought to try it soon. Your dealer will be happy
