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. A

candidate at a San Francisco con-:

The action was taken at the fi

PARIS lUPH President
Charles dc Gaulle cold-shouldered
an offer by President Kennedy to
meet him during his coming Eu

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

GOP leaders from throughout the

by partisans of Sen. Barry Gold-

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,

newsmen to his suite Saturday to
tell them that his findings indi

presidential nomination "is wide

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.

Russ-China

MOSCOW lUPH-Relations be

an open break between Peking

A new angry exchange between

China's rulers made it clear both

Already the bitterness of Uie
dispute made it a foregone con-!

the difficulties would be a failure.

The old fine schedule was out

cases, except for those at the

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

it was in the process of refunding
some 11.000 in excess fines.
