Chief Urges Check
Up For Summer Use
Chief of Police Charles P.
Champlin asked the coopera
tion of every car owner in
Meaiord in Having cars
checked before summer ar
rives. If unable to take advantage
of check-lanes which will be
operating in many commun
ities in the state, Chief Champ
lin said, drivers should have
cars checked on their own.
Every car should be inspect
ed to make certain that brakes
headlights, rear and stop
lights, directional signals,
tires, windshield, wipers and
other vital parts are in work
ing order before the heavy
summer highway driving be
gins in a few weeks, he said.
"Owners should remem
ber," he said, "that brake
failure or any other mechan
ical failure is never a good
excuse for an accident be
cause owners have an obliga
tion to see that a car is in
good working condition."
May, he said, is national
vehicle safety-check month
and a good time to give the
family car a good inspection
before summer vacations be
gin.

Secretary, Dies

Quarles, 64, apparently
died in his sleep.
He was found by his chauf

would make a television ap

minutes later. Mrs. Quarles
was in Chicago. ;
Rescue Squad Rushed
A police rescue squad and
a physician rushed from Wal
ter Reed Army Medical Cen
ter failed in efforts to revive
him.
Eisenhower was "shocked
and saddened" by Charles'
unexpected death.
In an expression of sym
pathy, the President said:t
"As deputy secretary 'and
prior to that as secretary of
the Air Force, Mr. Quarles
devoted his extraordinary tal
ents to the service of his
country. His contribution was
of inestimable value to the
security not only of the Unit
ed States but of that of the
entire Free World. I, share
with his associates in the
government a keen sense of
personal loss."
Saw President Thursday
Quarles, as a member of
the National Security Council,
had met with the President
Thursday.
Quarles was an engineer
industrialist who came out of

Van Buren, Ark., and once

the Eisenhower administra
tion team since- September,
1953, and had served as sec
retary of the Air Force before
taking over as deputy defense
secretary March 26, 1957.
Possible Successor
Quarles has been men
tioned prominently as the
possible successor to Defense
Secretary Neil H. McElroy
who is expected to resign la
ter this year.
Quarles was reported in
good health and spirits Thurs
day night when he attended
a private dinner and an Air
Force symphony concert. He
had returned to his home
