Seven steps for safer night driv ing were outlined today by an in surance expert. The dangers posed by after-dark travel also were cit ed, i "Night driving is infinitely more dangerous than daylight driving." said L. M. Waugaman, chairman of the Oregon Mutual Insurance 300th Anniversary Committee. "This Is especially true for mo torists determined to "get there' or 'get borne' alter long hours on the road." The seven night driving rules out lined by Waugaman are: 1. Make regular stops. Get out. walk around, relax. You'll rest your eyes, muscles and reflexes and be more alert when you con tinue: t. During a long night trip, stop halfway to your destination and eat a good meal, not just colfee and doughnuts; , 3. Don't fight traffic, drive de fensively; Be constantly on the alert for the driving errors of out ers; 4. Get Into the habit of not star ing directly Into oncoming head lights. Look beyond the beams to the road ahead and avoid tem porary blindness; 6. Don't over-drive your head lights. Keep your speed down to where you can stop within the dis tance shown by headlight beams; 6. Overtake slower cars and pass with caution. If a car is coming toward you and two distinct lights are visible it is unsafe to pass; 7. If possible, have a compan ion with you to help you stay awake, alert and responsible to highway dangers. "Night driving often Is cooler and more pleasant," Waugaman said. "There usually Is less traf fic and fewer distractions. You can go greater distances in less time." The disadvantages and dangers, however, are very real. Communists Cry 'Foul TOKYO WPI Japanses Commu nists, smarting from their smash ing shutout defeat in the Oct. 1 national elections, are howling that the victorious Liberal party bought votes with funds sunplled by "crudely intervening" Americans. The Red charges, widely trum peted by the Russian and Red China radio, are falling on deaf ears. Few Japanese believe any American soldiers or officials in tervened In the first elections since Japan gained postwar indepen dence. To Impartial observers, the Am erican authorities appeared as shv as oumea cats aoout me elections. In handing the Liberals an abso lute majority of seats In the 466 member house of representatives, the voters indicated thev did not agree with the Communists, who call American security forces here an "occupation." The Liberals were returned to power on a pro American platform. "Mot a single Communist of 107 candidates elected. New Orleans Newsman Dies NEW ORLEANS t.fi Funeral services for Leonnrd K.

If the parties or other sponsoring oriianiiiations pay the listed rales S24.UO0 an hour for radio, S60.OOO an hour for TV. this would cost Stevenson supporters about MtW. 000 and Elsenhower backers around S3M.0O0. Network officials any thry ex pect more time will be purchased. And they point out that their fig ures do not Include spot announce ments or urourams carried bv single stations 0r by stule net works.

But, Williams said, "how much we actually will spend de pends, of course, on what money we are able to raise." Oddly, no one knows for sure how much a campaign costs In as presidential year. One guess, by Illinois- democratic sen. Paul Dou glas In his new book. "Ethics In Government": 75 million dollars. This figure Includes expenses of congressional as well as presiden tial candidates. On one thing everyone Is agreed. Whatever the total cast, with tele vision being widely used for the first time, this is the most expen sive campaign ever. By law. a political organisation ts limited to three million dollars a year. But there's nothing to keep kindred organisations, such as the Volunteers for 81evenson or the Citizens for Eisenhower, from try ing to raise three million too. State and county organisations also raise money on their own. Because of this, figures on the nmounta raised by national organ isations may not mean too much.
