Santa Monica City
Court Fines Are
Different Routine
Santa Monica, Calif. - d'PD -
Traffic violators who come
before Municipal Judge W.
Blair Gibbens get something
different than routine fines.
Gibbens, who was appoint
ed to the bench early this
. year to fill a vacancy, has
dedicated himself to a per
' sonal campaign to reduce
traffic fatalities and injuries.
He sentences some viola
tors to visit an emergency
hospital, making notes on
traffic casualties and report
on the visit to him in writing.
He sentences others to go
with a clean-up crew to help
mop up debris after an auto
wreck.
Impact Wrecking Yard
Some defendants are or
dered to inspect a wrecking
yard and see what happens
to a vehicle which collides
with another at high speed.
Gibbens treats all defend
ants alike.
President Kennedy's sister,
Mrs. Pat Lawford, was cited
for driving without an opera
. tor's license after her car was
- Involved in a minor collision.
She was ordered to inspect
the wrecking yard and also
to visit the Kennedy child
guidance center at St. John's
I hospital. The judge told her
to find out how many child
victims nf traffic accidents
are treated at the center
which was founded by her
family.
When Mrs. Lawford, wife
of actor Peter Lawford, came
before him, the judge said:
Should Know Safety
"This defendant, above all
others, should know that the
President of the United
States, in establishment of his
traffic commission, strongly
supports traffic safety on our
streets and highways. I trust
this type of sentence will im
press this defendant."
Gibbens. 61, says he is not
Interested in personal publi
city and doesn't know now
whether he will run for re
election when his term ex
pires. "I'm doing a job and I'm
trying to do a good job," he
says. "Conventional sentences
by these judges who give two
or three days in jail are not
accomplishing their purpose.
Fines don't accomplish any
thing either. I don't consider
the purpose of a traffic court
is to raise funds. The purpose
is to help make the streets
safe."

Attitude Control
System Simulator
Tetcrboro, N. .1. IUPII A
small satellite simulator that
duplicates some of the critical
movements encountered in
outer space has been devel
oped to test the operation of
various attitude control sys

ditions. Maintaining correct alti
tude, or position of a satellite
in relation to the earth, is
critical to insuring proper
performance. The simulator,
developed by the Eclipse Pio

to test attitude control com

Planning Commission to Meet
With Josephine County Group
he Jackson county plan
ning commission last night
agreed to meet with the Jose
phine county planning com
mission to discuss renaming a
common road, accepted the
resignation of a staff member,
referred two matters concern
ing roads to the subdivision
committee, and approved a
schedule of commission mem
bers' terms submitted by the
county court.
The subdivision committee
of the commission decided to
meet with the Josephine coun
ty committee to discuss the
name of a county road on the
north side of Rogue river.
In a letter from the county
court, it was pointed out that
mail deliveries are delayed at
times since the road In Jack
son county is North River rd.
while in Josephine county it
is Foothills blvd.
Submits Resignation
Mrs. Donna Treadwell, as
sistant planning technician,
submitted her resignation ef
fective Dec. 14.
Referred to the subdivision
committee for study were re
quests to vacate a dedicated
road which never was opened
in the Fair Oaks Orchards
tract, and naming a road
which has been called Hall,
Edington, Fitzgerald or Hoi
comb Springs rd.
The rescheduling of com
mission members' terms was
necessary because of con
fusion developing through the
appointment of some members
for four years, some for three
years, and others to fill un
expired terms of former mem
bers. According to the schedule,
the terms of V. F. Birdseye
and Gerald Latham will ex
pire Dec. 31, making Latham's I
term one year shorter. Ex
piring in 1963 will be the
terms of David Lowry, only
original commissioner remain
ing, Andrew Hawver, and R.
W. Courtright.
Scheduled to expire in 1964
will be the terms for Edd
Rountree, whose term will be
six months longer, and G. I.
Peoples, 11 months longer.
The terms of two remaining
members, C. W. Duggan and
C. O. Lovejoy, will expire in
1965, each continuing for an
11 months longer period.
Schedule Informal Session
The commission agreed to
schedule a joint informal ses
sion with the Medford city
planning commission to re
view mall planning and a plan
for public building construc
tion in Medford.
A letter from the district
attorney was read regarding
the commission's request
From Washington:
Thomas Jefferson's famous
presidential "campaign" por
trait-known as his campaign
portrait because back in I860
when there were no illustrat
ed newspapers, pictorial mag'
azines or television, some 50
engravings made from It
served to provide for the vot
ers of that day what we now
call the "image" of a political
candidate-has been purchased
by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon
and presented to the White
House.
The portrait has been for
sale in New York for more
than a year. Mrs. Kennedy re
portedly saw it and identified
it quite some time ago. but
only recently was offered the
Mellons generosity in arrang
ing the purchase.
TWE Mellons are neighbors
of President and Mrs.
Kennedy. Mrs. Mellon is a
close friend of Mrs. Kennedy
and is a member of her White
House restoration committee.
Mr. Mellon is the son of
Andrew Mellon, prominent
industrialist and banker who
served as secretary of the
treasury under President
Harding. In 1937, he gave his
remarkable art gallery to the
United States, along with
funds for the erection of a
building in Washington to
house it.
Paul Mellon, his'son, is the
founder of Washington's Na
tional Gallery of Art.
TPHE Jefferson

campaign
painted by
Rembrandt Peale, son of
Charles Wilson Peale-who as
a boy was apprenticed to a
saddle-maker, but his leaning
was toward art, rather than
saddle-making. Eventually he
went to London, where he
studied with Benjamin West,
one of America s most noted
early artists.

government from wasting the
labors of the people UNDER
THE PRETENSE OF CARING
FOR THEM, they will be
happy."
PERSONALLY, I can t help
thinking it will be a good
influence to have this famed
portrait of President Thomas
Jefferson looking down on
what goes on in the White
House in these recklessly ex
travagant days when the pil
ing up of debt seems to be a
consummation devoutly to be
wished and the practice of
economy a sin to be avoided
at any cost.
IVHY is this portrait of Jef
" ferson so Interesting now?
Well. . .
It was Jefferson who said:
"I place economy among
the most important virtues
and public debt among the
greatest of dangers to be
feared. To preserve our inde
pendence, WE MUST NOT
LET OUR RULERS LOAD
US WITH PERPETUAL
DEBT. We must make our
choice between economy and
liberty and profusion and
servitude.
"If we run into such debt,
we must be taxed in our
meat and . drink, in our ne
cesities and our comforts, in
our labors and in our amuse
ments. If we can prevent the

'TWERE WAS ONCE a racehorse, avers George Jessel, who
A in three years on the track had never finished better
than sixth. Finally the owner told him, "I've stabled and
lea you long enough, you
no-good palooka. Today
I give you your last
chance. I've signed a
famous jockey to ride
you. The other horses in
the race are worthless. If
you lose this time, I
promise you that by five
o'clock tomorrow morn
ing you'll be pulling an
ice wagon."
The race began. At
the clubhouse turn, our
poor horse was dead last.
The jockey resorted to
nis wnip. ine aggrieved horse turned his head and snapped,
"Cut that out, will you? I gotta be up tomorrow morning at
five o'clock!"
Speaking of memorable laugh lines from old Broadway hits,
there was the moment in Frank Craven's "The First Year" where
the lady of the house, preparing dinner for an important guest,
asked the new maid, "Did you seed the grapefruit?" The maid s
answer was, "Oh yes, ma'am, I seed 'em."
Two cafe society phonies were discussing ways and means of
promoting a loan for a Caribbean fortnight. "I'd call my broker, '
confessed one, "but his phone has been disconnected."
