HOW TIMES CHANGE! Did they really
have cars like that? That seems to be the
thought in the mind of Gail Leach, 9, of
Cassopolis, Mich., a visitor to the General
Motors exhibit at Chicago s Museum of Sci
ence and Industry. Admitting the early
1900's one-cylinder Oldsomobile called "Old
Scout" is "kind of funny," Gail stands be
hind GM's experimental gas-turbine "Fire
bird III." Both cars are part of a dramatic
display of the motor industry's vital role
in America's past, present and future.

By JOHN E. SIMONDS
Lebanon, Ohio - 'I'M - The
witnesses cast their trailing
glances at the masked body
slumped in the oaken chair
and filed out of the glaring
yellow room into the prison
courtyard.
For most of them, it was a
first experience of this kind
but for husky Red Alvis it
was number 53 - the 53rd
execution he had directed as
warden of Ohio Penitentiary.
Today, worlds away from
the tihastly prison and the
electric chair Kalph V. Alvis
has set out on a new career
as tile first superintendent of
a new prison for first offend
ers. Prison authorities all
over the country are watch
ing this new model prison
with interest.
Several years aijo. Bis Red
as he is ki.own. told Ohio of
ficials lie would like to head
the new $12,000,000 Lebanon
Reformatory. It is ultra
modern. with individual cells
and soft music, hut there is
nothing soft about the former
professional football player
who runs it.
Says Not Elaborate
"There is nothing elaborate
, about a toilet without a seat.
sinks without pluys, and a
! window witli bars." lie said of
j the life the 1.500 men will
lead in the new prison.
! All during his 12 years "s
warden ;.t Ohio PrnitontU'rv
in C'oliiiiibu.v, .h is kept quiet
about capital punishment.
But, now thai lie no longer
' must direct the exeeulions. he
; has become an outspoken foe
of capital puni-hnu ill.
"I tan mil see where it does
any earthly good,'' he told a
committee of the Legislature
i studying proposals to abolish
i the death penally.
i Alvis came here last fall to
get ready for the first prison
ers who arrived last week.
' Here, he -ill supervise the
' social repair of first offenders
between the ages of 16 and 30
who will live in single cells.
There arc no killers here,
there will be fc-w escape at
i tempts, a maximum popula
j tion of 1.5U0, and no electric
chair.
Each of the cells is painted
in pa.-lel gray or green. Loud
; speakers pipe soft music into
the recreation rooms. The
; men sit in chairs at small
I tables in the dining room in-
siean oi ocnencs at long
tables.
The prison has a 42-bed
hospital, a 8.000 volume li
brary, a gymnasium, and a
chapel with a rotating altar to
permit Protestant, Catholic,
and Jewish services.
"Every man will have a
I job." Alvis said, "not just

something to keep him busy
but something of value to him
when he gels out."

Foreign Relations
Major Issue in
Fall Campaigns
Raleigh, N.C. - IUPU - Roger
Tatarian, managing editor of
United Press International,
said recently that foreign
relations will be a major is
sue in the fall campaigns be
cause of the collapse of the
summit conference.
Tatarian, a veteran foreign
correspondent, spoke at the
annual meeting of United
Press International newspaper
editors in North Carolina.
Tatarian, former general
European news manager for
UPI. said that .while Russian
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
has not stated a preference
among the presidential candi
dates he has made it clear he
"doesn't want Nixon."
Tatarian pred icted the
months ahead would be very
disturbing.
"Even if a new summit con
ference is called, we have no
assur, nee anything will come
of it," he said. "Berlin is the
key issue. and it can only be
resolved if one side capitu
lates." Rhea T. Eskew, southern
division manager for UPI, told
the editors that UPI was ex
perimenting with new devices
and equipment "to make the
product that we gi'e you
more easily usable."
Violations Related
To Traffic Deaths
Statistics for the first three
months of lf)60 were offered
today by Medford Chief of Po
lice Charles P. Champlin to
point up the dangers of vio
lating traffic laws even in
relatively slow-moving city
traffic.
Chief Champlin said that
one-half of the drivers in
volved in fatal accident in ur
ban areas throughout the state
from January-March were vi
olating a traffic law at the
time.
Leading causes were speed
ing which was evident in
about 33 per cent of the urban
fatal crashes; making a left
turn in front of oncoming
traffic, 16.7 per cent; and fail
ure to yield right of way to
pedestrians, 25 per cent. The
statistics, he said, were pro
vided by the department of
motor vehicles.
Disregarding a traffic sig
nal, driving on the wrong side
of the road and intoxication
also figured in the state's ur
ban fatal crashes, he said.
The chief said the figures
indicate the need for contin
ued enforcement efforts and
prove the validity of the oft
repeated slogan, "Where traf
fic laws are obeyed deaths
go down."
Horses in the world have
declined 22 per cent since
1940.

Teacher Pleads
For Freedom of
Class Discussion
San Antonio, Tex. - tUPF -
The teacher who was fired
for taking the side of Russia
a classroom discussion of
the U-2 spy plane has made a
plea for freedom of discussion
in the schools.
The teacher, Winston Mc-
Daniel, 32. also said he would
not appeal his dismissal be
cause he believed he couldn't
get a fair hearing.
McDaniel, formerly of Jef
ferson, Wis., said he probably
will go to California or Wash
ington to look for a new job.
He released a copy of a
letter he wrote to Dr. A. G.
Bradford, president of the
Northeast Independent School
district. The district includes
Robert E. .',ee High school,
where McDaniel taught until
Thursday.
Question Important
"Please be advised that
rather than personally request
a hearing on my recent sus
pension, I would prefer to
leave to the residents of the
district the ultimate decision
as to whether or not contro
versial issues should be fully
and openly discussed in the
classroom," the letter said.
"This question is, I believe.
so basic and so important that
it should not be allowed to
evolve into a purely personal
issue.
"Consequently, I have de
cided to withdraw myself
from this controversy in the
honest and sincere hope that
the only real question
volved - that of freedom of
classroom discussion - might
be discussed and decided upon
by the residents of the district
in as calm, dispassionate and
impersonal a manner as is pos
sible."
Taps Recording Mad
"In addition, my decision
has been prompted by the re
alization that the attitudes of
some of the district's influ
ential residents would pre
clude impartial reconsidera
tion and by the fact that I
could not, in all good con
science, continue to teach in
the district knowing that I no
longer had complete freedom
of classroom discussion with
mv students."
McDaniel said he allowed a
tape recording to be made of
the discussion. The school
board fired him after hearing
the recording. In it, he called
Russian Premier Nikita Khru
shchev the world's greatest
politician and said the U-2's
pilot, Francis G. Powers,
should be executed by his
Russian captors.

STOGIES FOR TOLL
Dallas, Tex. -(OPD-John M.
Rollow. an insurance agent,
was embarrassed when he
drove up to the toll gate at
the exit of the Dallas-Tort
Worth turnpike recently and
found he had only 25 cents. A
kindly toll-collector let him
pay the balance of his toll in
cigars.
