Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- "TOR THREE WEEKS," complained a blonde wife to her -T crony, "I couldn't find my husband. I was getting worried enough to consider notifying the police when bingo! he turned up." "Where did you find . him?" asked the friend. "One evening," explained the wife, "I got a sudden impulse to go home and there he wasl" Additions to Webster: Off day: The day after a day off. Acoustics: What you play pool with.

Meanwhile, a lot The governor's traffic safe-l people will nave to die. ty conference in Sacramento enters" its second day this morning with workshop dem onstrations and speakers pointing new ways for curb ing death on the highways. IMMENSELY interest ing. But it poses problems. This is the BIG problem: What can we do to make our highways safer? That's the tragedy of it. OEEKING an answer to that question, let's turn to case histories. Here is a case his tory that has just clicked off the wires: A Bay Area (meaning the San Francisco bay area) cou ple and their relatives were among six people killed early today in a head - on collision near Seneca, Kansas. Max Henry and his wife and two Mid - Western relatives were riding in the California car when the tragedy occurred. All four were killed, as were both of the occupants of the other car, which was driven by Urie Smirl, of Seneca. The Kansas state patrol says that Smirl's car was appar ently on the WRONG SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. 'T'HESE head-on collisions are becoming increasingly fre quent as the density of high way traffic increases. Almost invariably, the mortality is high in a head - on collision.. That is inevitable. When two cars, each weighing several tons, crash head-on, fatalities are almost certain to occur. And on two - lane highways head-on collisions can occur so EASILY. TlHE moral? It looks like divided multi-lane highways are the nearest approach to a solution we can find.' The divided multi-lane highway, unless the dividing strip is VERY WIDE, doesn't remove completely the hazard of head-on collisions. But it reduces the hazard greatly. It will be very costly. But it seems to be coming. HHAT was human careless ness. What can we do about hu man carelessness? There is only one answer: We can educate people to be LESS careless. But that takes India Kills, Captures Naga Head - Hunters . New Delhi, India -(UPD-In-dia's operations against the re bellious head-hunting Naga tribesmen in the northeast has caused 1,397 deaths and 1,723 injuries during the first eight months of this year, official sources said yesterday. Most of the casualties were among the Nagas, and 1,686 others were taken prisoner by the Indian army, the sources said. Citizen Denizations Form to Protest Quemoy, Matsu Policy w asmngton-Citizen organ izations are springing up in several cities to protest the Eisenhower Administration policy toward Quemoy and Matsu . The immediate objective of these organizations is to pres sure President Eisenhower into calling a special session of Congress. Their leaders contend Mr. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles are pushing the United States into a war in the Far East without first get ting the consent of Con gress. "We're being shoved into a war without the people we elected to speak for us having anything to say about it," claimed John M. Fishell, 68-year-old retired foundry con sultant who heads the protest group in St. Louis. "We're not hooked up to any wild eyed group. We're just plain citizens who are worrieed We're out to be the loyal opposition." Fishell said James P. War burg, New York banker and author, inspired formation of the St. Louis group through his letters and newspaper ad vertisement criticizing Ad ministration policy in the Far East. Warburg said other protest groups are being or ganized or are under discus sion in Boston, Chicago, Des Moines, Cleveland, New Ha ven. New York and San Francisco. Farthest Along The St. Louis protest group appears to be farthest along in its organization. It already has distributed by- mail re marks of such critcis of i Ad ministration Far East policy as former Democratic Secre tary of State Dean Acheson and Socialist leader Norman Thomas. Fishell said the hard core of his organization has been 23 private citizens who have financed the operation out of their own pocket. He said his group tentatively is named the Bi-partisan Watch dog Committee. Fishell said the committee will run an advertisement in the St. Louis Post Dispatch giving arguments against the Administration's Far East policy. , Fishell said the response to the few protest mailings done by his committee so far "has been beyond all expecta tions," adding, ""If Vice Presi dent Nixon and Mr. Dulles are concerned over the mail they have received already, they'll be absolutely horrified over the mail they'll receive soon." The Rev. M. Everett Dorr, minister of the Trinity Meth odist church in Des Moines, " is at the forefront of the pro test movement in that city. He said he and George Cos son, Des Moines attorney, hope to organize a group for mally soon. He said so far the protests have been on an individual basis. Policy Said Inflexible Mr. Dorr, a World Feder alist, charged the Administra tion's Far East policy was "inflexible." He said, , "We have no business in Quemoy and Matsu. Chiang Kai-shek has entangled us. We have got to get out of the circle we're in." He said the first step should be a special ses sion of Congress. Warburg has been in touch with both Fishell and Dorr about the formation of pro test groups. Warburg said there is a group of individ uals in New York who feel as he does about Far East pol icy but they have not decid ed whether to organize for mally or protest on an indiv idual basis. He said the Boston group will run an ad soon in the Christian Science Monitor protesting the Administration policy. He said it was too early to tell what actions will be taken by opponents of the Far East policy who are or ganizing or talking about it in Chicago, Cleveland, New Haven and San Francisco. Nixon's Criticism Warburg claimed that Nix on's criticism of a State De partment official for disclos ing that the bulk. of the de partment's mail has been against the Administration policy toward Quemoy and Matsu will not mute the pro test groups. "If anything," he said, "it will make people more willing to stick their necks out." A four-column ad over Warburg's name appeared in the New York Times of Sept. 25. It was headlined, "Call Congress at once, Mr. Presi dent." It claimed that "a con tinuation of our present pol icy can lead only to a war in which the U. S. will have few if any effective allies, or to the indefinite protraction of a state of affairs in which the U. S. can at any moment be plunged into such a war by an act or decision other than its own. . . . We therefore feel iustified in demanding that the whole of our China policy and all questions incident to our involvement in the Chi nese civil conflict be laid be fore our elected representa tives in the Congress. Readers were asked to sign the advertisement, send it to the President and their Congressional delegation, form groups to run similar ads and contribute money "toward the further dissem ination of this message." The response to the ad, Warburg said, "has been quite spectacular." He said he ' has received about 250 letters from all parts of the country and that about $1,500 has been contributed so fan Warburg's books on foreign policy include "Foreign Pol icy Begins at Home," "Ger many, Bridge or Battle ground," "Put Yourself in Marshall's Place" and "The United States in a Changing World." He is a Democrat. (CoDvrioht 1958, Congressional, Quarterly' Inc.)

Residents Asked To Observe Fire Prevention Week Medford Fire Chief Gordon Barker has asked residents to observe Fire Prevention Week, proclaimed by Presi dent Eisenhower for Oct. 5 through 11, by actually prac ticing fire prevention. A seven-point program was outlined for Chief Barker for fire safety. Barker pointed out that nine out of 10 fires could be avoided by taking a few sim ple steps to eliminate com: mon hazards. The seven points listed by Barker to help prevent home fires are: 1. Inspect and clean chim neys at least once a year. Apparatus Cleaning 2. Keep heating apparatus clean and replace worn or de fective parts immediately. 3. Repair electrical equip ment by qualified electricians at the first sign of trouble; re place frayed cords, on appli ances, and do not overload circuits. - 4. Be careful with cigar ettes and matches, and keep matches out of reach of children. 5. Use fire-resistant roof ing, such as asphalt shingles, which give protection against flying sparks from the chim ney or other sources. 6. Clean combustible rub bish out of closets, the attic and basement. Turn in rags, papers and magazines for sal vage. 7. Be careful with flam mable liquids; use non-explosive and non-burning fluid for removing spots from clothing; and do not take gas oline into the home for any purpose.
