OREGON Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- WfHEN GENERAL PATTOX was in an expansive humor, he liked to tell a story about a valuable officer under Napoleon who developed a brain tumor and had to submit to an ememencv nnp ra tion. The surgeon, main tained Patton, unscrewed the officer's cranium, took out the brain, and laid it on the table. Just then a messenger arrived with the glad tidings that .the officer had been promoted from Colonel to General.

Parents Warned on Motor Bike Operation Salem -(UPD- Parents have been warned that children under 16 should not be per mitted to operate motor bikes on public streets and roads.

Younger persons with an instruction permit are specifi cally excluded from operating motor scoooters on public roads. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TUESDAY, JUNE 25. 1163 Down in Phoenix recently, the governors of our 11 West ern States, assembled for a . od-of-the-order session, were warned that unless they act soon to "straighten out a crazy-quilt of traffic laws" they will face federal incur sions into that field. THE warning came from Robert Montgomery, of Washington (D.C.), who is ex ecutive director of the Na tional Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances. He told his hearers: "Governors, individually and collectively, must assert more affirmative leadership in traffic safety efforts, par ticularly in the field of uni form traffic laws. Otherwise, federal incursions into this area, which historically and traditionally is under the jurisdiction of the states, may be expected." He added: "The governors are trus tees of the traffic laws. But, by permitting continuance of antiquated, NON-UNIFORM motor vehicle laws, the stales are stacking the deck in fa vor of the federal government." H MMMMMMMMM. Is he right? Or is he wrong? ONE can't help wondering. Trafficwise, at least, this is no longer a govern ment of 50 states. We travel far and wide in our cars. Out here on the Pacific Coast, we think nothing of taking off for New York, or Washing ton, or Florida and our Eastern cousins take off just as casually for the Pacific Coast. And One of the everlasting NUISANCES of such a trip having to get accustomed to a new set of traffic laws and regulations, and a new set of traffic signs, every time one crosses a state line. IT'S hard to escape the con clusion that if the federal government wants to expand its authority thus, inciden tally, providing more federal jobs with which to reward the politically faithful it could find no more logical field for it than establishment of UNIFORM traffic rules and regulations. That we would all welcome. N Western Europe, where nations are no larger, on the average, than our states, they are far ahead of us especially in the way of uni form road signs. Perhaps they have been compelled to be by the fact that every time one crosses an interna tional boundary one is apt to encounter a new language. At any rate. Western Eu rope's road signs are uniform. They use a picture language. Information signs are rectan gular. Warning signs are tri angular. Regulatory signs giving specific instructions are circular. For example: A circular sign with a figure in the center means that the figure is the speed limit. When the figure has a bar across it, it means the end of the speed limit and the begin ning of another one, which is announced by the new figure. A triangle with a picture of a cow means that a domes tic animal crossing is ahead. A triangle with a leaping deer inside means look out for deer. And so on. The signs are UNIFORM. It is an inter national system. QO When someone warns that unless we get more uni formity in our STATE traffic rules and regulations, includ ing road signs, the federal government will step in and take over, let's not get hot under the collar. If the federal rules and regulations are UNIFORM, they'll be better than what we have. Portland Schools To Study Imbalance Portland-OJPD-The Portland School board voted Monday night to appoint a citizen's committee to study the city's racially imbalanced public schools. The decision was a victory for Negro leaders and for Portland's Citizens' Commit tee on Racial Imbalance, which asked the board last month to see if schools with an overwhelming Negro ma jority were hurting the edu cational opportunities of stu dents. The committee will be charged with isolating the problem, discovering its ef fect on educational opportuni ties and suggesting a solution. It is to report back by Jan. 1 TOTAL PERFORMANCE: MC?aii'S" iri mm, - - FORD OALAXIE &GOXL iPOKTS HAHDIOP IF YOU KNEW WHAT THIS "CAR KILLER" KN0WS...Y01TD BE DRIVING A SOLID, SILENT SUPER TORQUE FORD This steel-edged pothole is probably the world's toughest lest of a car's suspension.
