ill Ml fo) 0)0) AW In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS How highway trouble starts: In heavy Chicago traffic yester day monln&, a man named "Ja lielzke bumped the rear end of the car ahead of him. The bump wasn't a very husky one. but it roused the ire of the bum pee. He flopped his car and got out to tell Jaelzke off. In the ensuing argument Janetz ke stepped loo far to one side and was hit by a passing car. He was knocked to the pavement and when he got up he walked into the path of an oncoming trailer truck. The true driver, quick-witted, as truck drivers have to be, braked with all his might, but the street was slick and his big rig skidded and jacknifed. The following car, ' driven by a man named Sabo, smashed into the truck. Sabo got off with shock and bruises, but a passenger rid ing with him was KILLED. And so Another death was added to the staggering annual total of Ameri ca's highway fatalities. The moral? It is this: On our danger-laden highways, as in this danger - laden cold war world, eternal vigilance is the price of safety. I think perhaps there's another moral on a wider scale. If this short - tempered motorist whose car was bumped from me rear in heavy and complicated traffic had KEPT HIS SHIRT ON the fatal sequence on the slippery Chicago street would not have started. In this trtuser-happv cold war world things are constantly hap pening thot MAKE US AMERI CANS MAD. We'd better keep our shirts on. Otherwise, we may start a sequence that will end in a third world war. We need to ' remember that "whom tlie gods would ' destroy they first make mad. ' More on this modern world this one on the brighter side. A British research engineer says he has invented a new type motor that will revolutionize the autonio- bile industry. His new power plant . is only one-third the size of a nor mal auto engine. He says it de velops 30 per cent more power weighs 70 per cent less and runs on ANY liquid iuel. It has only NINE moving parts. Its inventor says it will last more than 200,000 miles without an overhaul. He tells a reporter: i "Leading engineers to whom have shown my new engine aaree it will revolutionize- the automobile industry in the same way that the ;et eneme has changed the scene in aviation. Another screwball? ' Let's take a look at him. His name is Granville Bradshaw, Curing World War 2, he was chief research engineer for Britain s roy al navy. He designed the world's iirst RADIAL airplane engine. In a radial engine, the cylinders whirl round and round. The radial engine gave a terrific lift to air plane progress. So we can't write off as moon shine what he says about his new automobile power plant. On behalf of the oldsters. I'd like to add that Bradshaw is 67. But. instead of climbing up on the shelf at the normal retirement fine ana settling down there. HE KEPT HIS FINELY TRAINED BRAIN AT WORK. He began designing his new auto engine AFTER he had reaclieo the normal retirement age. If his new engine works, we'll all be glad he went on working. Turning to another angle of the modern world, the Oregon Voter founded 40 years ago in Portland by C. C. Chapman and now edit ed by Walter May says this week that Oregonians pay Just slightly less than a BILLION dol lars a year in federal, state and local taxes. It acids that this is about ONE THIRD of the income of Oregon icidents. Here's a thought you might toy ...... u. jvu might even take It with you to the voting booth at the next elec the voting booth at the next elec tion: The mare the state (meaning lhi lllC I government ) DOES for us. more it will have to TAX us. There is only on place for tax money to come from, and that is out of the pockeis of the people.

OFFICIAL REPORT The government is expected to release an official report on the conspiracy Sunday. Informants said the plotters. planning sabotage, strikes, incen diarism and other "trouble-mak ing" acts, aimed their conspiracy moie at embarrassing the Aram- bum government than at sparking a revolution. Most of those arrested had been dismissed from government Jobs, the sources said. Apparently the largest number are civilians linked with ex-President Juan D. Peron's dictatorial regime, although some are '.or were connected with the military and police. There was no sign of undue anxiety in official quarters and the capital outwardly vas norm al.

Paper Makes Primary Claim PORTLAND Wl The Coos Bay the Democratic nomination, Party leaders here said came as news to them. this i The Times story said that "Kefauver's campaign in Oregon will be headed by William L. Joss lin, Portland attorney and secre tary to the late Gov.. -Charles .H. Martin. Josslin directed the sena tor's primary campaign in Oregon in 1652." Josslin said that while "I am sympathetic to Sen. Kefauver, my personal problems prevent me from directing the campaign." Josslin was the general chairman in 1952 and Jack Bain, Multnomah County commissioner, was cam paign manager. Bain said Saturday he had not heard that Kefauver would run in Oregon and "I should assume that I would know" if a decision had been made. However, he added, he had not heard froir. the senator for about 10 days. The Times story, by Forrest Amsden, news editor, said that Kefauver will campaign both in California and in Oregon "with vigor." Kefauver announced in Washing ton Friday that he would enter the California primary, as well as those of Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida. These are slates in which Adlai Stevenson also will seek the Demo cratic Party nomination. Stevenson has not yet said he would run in Oregon but neither has he said he would not.

In a series of talks with Euro pean leaders. U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was re ported to have pledged American rport for a unified European o.vnlc authority for peaceful in dust Hal power and warned that ti.is a.d probably would be with held from individual national pro grams. t Th - lar-rnla -l nhn Inft fnc Washington Saturday night aboard a special plane from Evreux mill- tary airfield, was wild by diplo matic source to have given this message (o French Foreign Mm-j Ister Amolne Pinay, West Ger man Foreign Minister He In rich von Brentano, Belgian Foreign Minist er Paul-Henri Spaak, and Jean Monnet, the latter a key man in a new protect for a European nuclear eneijjy pool. SECRETARY TELLS The secretly told Spk and Monnet the Eisenhower d minis tration is ready to ask Congress to amend the U.S. Atomic En ergy Act to authorize the export of American secret know-how and fis sionable matter to & European atomic authority. Speak Is head of a committee working on technical plans for such an authority. Dulles cited the precedent of the 1 so-called Richards amendment to 1 show that Congress would be ex-1 trcmely reluctant, if not definite-! ly opposed, lo loosening the Atom ic Energy Act for the benefit of any one country. Tlie Richards amendment, now outdated, would have withheld American military aid from coun tries which refused to enter the European army.- . j Tills point was stressed in IM secretary's talk wtui von men tnno, according to reliable sourc es. Dulles said the United States would do all possible to assist a European organization which op erated under a .supranational cen tral authority with power to take and enforce decisions, ATOMIC AGENCY Tlie central atomic r.ncy Is viewed as assurance to other Euro pean nations against any dangers of secret atomic production at some future dale In Germany. This point is hardly a problem now be cause Von Brentano and the whole Adenauer administration are ar dently pushing the atomic pool pro ject. The pool, known as "Furatom." comes to the fore sometime next month when Monnet convenes his international "action committee" here and when Spaak is to pro duce a report outlining Ihe pro ject. Spaak is head of a panel of governmental experts from six na tions and Britain which has been drafting proposals for various pools as a further step toward a com mon economic market.
