JUNE 23, 1963 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7175 In The Day s km Republicans Rap Communists Seal Ml lull By FRANK JENKINS Down in Phoenix recently, the governors of our 11 Western States, assembled for a good-of- the-order session, were warned that unless they act soon lo "straighten out a crazy quilt of' traffic laws" they will face fed i al incursions into that field. The warning came from Robert Montgomery, of Washington (D.C.I, who is executive direc tor of the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Or dinances. He told his hearers: "Governors, individually and collectively, must assert more af firmative leadership in traffic! safety efforts, particularly in the field of uniform traffic laws. Otherwise, federal incursions into this area, which historically and traditionally is under the juris diction of the states, may be ex pected." He added: "The governors are trustees ol the traffic laws. But, by per mitting continuance of antiquated. NON - UNIFORM motor vehicle, laws, the states are stacking the deck in favor of the federal gov ernment." Hmmmmmmmmmmm, Is he right? Or is he wrong? One can't help wondering. Trafficwise. at least, this is no longer a government 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 Washington, or Florida and our Eastern cous ins take off just as casually for the Pacific Coast. And- One of the everlasting NUI-1 SANCES of such a trip is 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 conclu sion that if the federal govern ment wants to expand its authori ty thus, incidentally, providing more federal jobs with which to reward the politically faithful it could find no more logical field for It than establishment of UNI FORM traffic rules and regula tions. That we would all welcome. In Western Europe, where na tions are no larger, on the aver age, than our stales, they are far ahead of us especially in the way of uniform road signs. Per haps they have been compelled to be by the fact that every time one crosses an international boun dary one is apt to encounter i new language. At any rate. Western Europe's road signs are uniform. They use a picture language. Informa tion signs are rectangular. Warn ing signs arc triangular. Regula tory signs giving specific instnic 'jms are circular. For example: A circular sign with a figure in the center means that the figure is the speed limit. When the fig ure has a bar across it, it means the end of the speed limit and the beginning of another one, which is announced by the new figure A triangle with a picture of a cow means that a domestic ani mal crossing is ahead.

Barry GoldwaUr, speaking before Rotarians at Los Anqeles, confirmed he "slightly" modified his stend on civil riqhts legislation with regard to education. Goldwater, reqarded as a major potential Republican presidential candidate for 1964, said "I never voted cloture, and won't at this time." UP1 Tsl.photo JFK's DENVER (UPH Republican! leaders agreed Saturday to nomi- nate the GOP's 1964 presidential candidate at a San Francisco con-: vention in the Cow Palace, the setting for Dwight D. Eisenhow er's renomination in 1956. The action was taken at the fi nal session of a Republican Na tional Committee meeting at which a resolution also was adopt ed indicting the Kennedy Admin istration on 20 counts, including a ."failure to deal effectively with the problems of civil rights. Outside of the conference rooms, this three-day assembly of JFK Given Brush-Off By De Gaulle PARIS lUPH President Charles dc Gaulle cold-shouldered an offer by President Kennedy to meet him during his coming Eu ropean tour, reliable diplomatic sources said Saturday. Kennedy's offer to come to Pa ris was conveyed informally to the French president several weeks ago "through diplomatic channels in the form of "hint" or "suggestion," the sourc es said. and the proposal was not pressed. the sources added. On May 29, De Gaulle let it be known that he is not interested in a showdown meeting w ith Ken nedy on U.S.-French disagree ments right now. Information Minister Alain Pey rcfitte. told newsmen that De Gaulle considers it is his turn to visit Washington, since Kennedy visited here two years ago. "Gen. De Gaulle . . . plans to go to the United Stales at the right moment," Pcyrefitte said. This statement seemed de signed to kill any further sugges tion of a Kennedy-De Gaulle meeting during the U.S. Prcsi denl's European visit. French officials explained that De Gaulle opposes a meeting at the present moment because he believes it could achieve no use ful result. They said De Gaulle would like to meet Kennedy, but only if there is some hope of agreement on issues dividing their countries which there is not at the mo ment. Peace Seen Chancellor BONN lUPli Konrad Adenauer plans to re assure President Kennedy during his visit here that Germany will not gang up with France against the United States, it was report ed Saturday. Government sources said also. 1 however, that Adenauer w ill do all he can to improve the present OUIICUII Biaie m r icin-n- American relations. i Failures GOP leaders from throughout the country i loaded withprcsiden- tial politics. Soundings were taken by partisans of Sen. Barry Gold- water of Arizona, the current front-runner, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, who has fallen behind, and by uncom mitted party leaders trying to test the political winds. George L. Hinman of New York, a Rockefeller lieutenant, invited newsmen to his suite Saturday to tell them that his findings indi cated that competition for the presidential nomination "is wide open. He said he also wanted to spike "irresponsible talk here" that Rockefeller might withdraw. After a very feeble protest from Illinois Republicans urging a Chi cago convention, the national com- I mittee approved the recommenda tion of its site selection commit tee to go to San Francisco for a convention opening Monday, July 13, tow. Speaking for the site commit tee. Jean K. Tool of Colorado, re ported that, hotel or convention problems had been found in Chi cago and the oilier five cities which originally bid for the con vention. To get the convention, San Francisco pledged WOO.OOO in public money from its convention Kind, plus KjO.000 to be raised by a citizens committee. Before the site committee re port, Illinois Republicans distrib uted a flyer saying "it seems ..'that everyone here prefers Chi cago, but it seems the convention is headed somewhere else." After nanpr Min,llHM, lha, the paper concluded that "practi cal politics" made Chicago the ideal convention site. Next year's convention will be only Uie second ever held by the GOP on the West Coast. The Dem ocrat, who will choose their 1964 convention ci'v at a Washington meeting next wek, met in Cali fornia in 1920 and 1960. The resolution indicting Uie Ken - nedy Administration said it had been "weak and indecisive on the handling of foreign policy." The alleged administration foreign pol icy sins included its handling of nuclear test negotiations. Cuba. Laos, and relationships w ith Allied countries. Russ-China Break Seen MOSCOW lUPH-Relations be tween the Soviet Union and Com munist China dipped so low Sat - urday that the possibility arose of an open break between Peking and Moscow. A new angry exchange between the Kremlin and Communist China's rulers made it clear both i.jHe. were refusing to budge im their ideological dispute. Already the bitterness of Uie dispute made it a foregone con-! elusion that the scheduled July Si "summit" meeting to patch up the difficulties would be a failure. The Soviets appeared anxious lo avoid responsibility for any n brea)( amj left the next move uo to Peking. But they ac - cused the Chinese of slandering them with a "scurrilous" docu ment not yet published in Moscow.

Barrel racing, with a $25 purse donated by the Roundup Association, will also be featured at the queens' tryouts today at the Klamath County Fairgrounds. Outmoded Laws Place Heavy Penalties On County Trucks The Klamath County District Court is using an outmoded sched ule of fines in penalizing truck ers cited for operating overload ed logging trucks, tire Herald and News has learned. The old fine schedule was out moded by another listing which became effective May 16 when Gov. Mark O. Hatfield signed House Bill I292. establishing it as law. The bill cuts fines for log overloads about half in most cases, except for those at the upper limits ..of the new sched- ulc which are greater than thelnePTW "als that 16 truck old nenaliie lers have been fined a total of Due to a slip-up at the state level, the local district court and .eve . u,e .oca. uisinci coun most similar courts througlwut the slate have been using the old fine table, unaware that it had'. been superceded. Th hill -nnlnineH an pmpr. 1 gcncy clause tnat made it effec. tive immediately after it was signed by the governor. The only trouble was Uiat no one bothered to inform the district judges throughout the slate that the law, was in effect. As a result, loggers in various counties have been fined under Uie old schedule. In many cases officials of those counties are now endeavoring to contact the log gers and refund those portions of the fines which were overpay ments. One county reported that it was in the process of refunding some 11.000 in excess fines.
