Warning Is Issued To Toll Commission Warned To Guard Against Thefts INDIANAPOLIS, UP — The Indiana toll road commission was warned today to guard against 139 ways toll collectors can steal money, The warning was sounded by an engineering firm hoping to sell the commission collection equipment for the upstate east-west superhighway. It was estimated toll housing would cost about 300 thousand dollars and collection equipment the same for 33 toll lanes at interchanges along the route. Benjamin Cooper, representing Teller and Cooper of Brooklyn, N. Y., said the firm studied 139 fraud methods and scientifically designed equipment to counteract them. He said toll collectors at interchanges work in a virtual “wilderness” ‘without supervision and handle up to Mt million dollars a year in cash; Other states learned many collectors want some of the money to “stick to them," he said. Cooper described fraud prevention methods, including hidden cameras in toll house canopies to keep an “electric eye” on the collectors. His firm suggests equipment geared to bookkeeping methods Remington Rand hopes to sell the commission. On the proposed north-south toll road, commission vice-chairman Charles B. Enlow of Evansville said feasibility of the road should be determined by October. He suggested selling bonds within a month “so construction could start early in the spring of 1955.” Enlow said from an economic standpoint it might be wise to rush the road to provide work for unemployed. The commission postponed until its next meeting the selection of a traffic engineer tor the northsouth study. Three firms are competing, but not all proposals were complete. Enlow said selection should be rushed so that aerial photographs showing topography can be taken before trees leaf. The commission also approved 195,434.24 in engineering expenses for work completed oh the eastwest toll road. _____ Bulmahn, Richard Scheumann, Ben Mazelin and Ivan Huser, was introduced. Doughnuts and coffee were serv--ed at the elose of the meeting. The refreshments were prepared and served by the Monmouth school band organization.

Another Arrest In LeClair Robberies Fort Wdyne Man Is Bth Under Arrest FORT WAYNE, Ind. UP — Hiram Napier, 24, Fort W’ayne, was free on SSOO bond today on a charge of concealing knowledge of a 310,000 Bourbon, Ind., bank robbery allegedly committed by the “lunch hour” bandit. The FBI said Napier was a former employe in an auto firm operated by Bernard LaClair, 31, Fort 'Wayne, who police said admitted nine noon hour bank , robberies in Indiana and other states. Napier was the eighth person arrested in connection with the year-long string of robberies in which LaClair got an estimated 1165,000 in loot. Napier was released late Tuesday after arraignment before U. S. Commissioner W. Robert Fleming on a charge of misprislonment — or failing to report a felony. He was arrested following a joint investigation by city police and the FBI. —> | Napier was accused of having knowledge of the robbery at the First State Bank at Bourbon on July 29, 1953, and failing to notify authorities. 1 LaClair and Napier, both ad- ■ mitted he went with LaClair to the FBI said, where - LaClair ttfole a car used in the getaway. Federal authorities said L LaClair told Napier he was going t to rob a bank, and Napier drove LaClair to Bourbon and waited while LaClair pulled the robbery.

Continue Fight On School Color Line Association Plans To Continue Fight WASHINGTON, UP—An official of the national association for the advancement of colored people said today the legal fight rfgainst the color line in schools will continue “until every vestige of racial separation" is destroyed. Walter White, NAACP executive secretary, said if the supreme court fails to outlaw public school segregation in five cases now before it “we shall ... go back*again and again and again” until the fight is won. In a speech prepared for a free? dom fulfillment conference sport* sored by the NAACP, White said the organization would also continue to press for legislation at all levels of government to ban racial discrimination in hiring, and voting and to end “mob violence.” President Eisenhower was scheduled to speak to the conference today, following an address by Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, director of the trusteeship division of the United Nations. The conference was called in conjunction with the 10-year “fight, for freedom” launched by the NAACP last year to wipe out all remaining racial barriers by 1963. This will be the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Ecancipatlon Proclamation. White traced the steps made in recent years to “eradicate the color line" in America and praised actions by Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. "Least has been done by the congress which has not enacted one major law against race prejudice since the days of Reconstruction.” he said. White urged the conference to beware of Communist attempts to join in the “fight for freedom.” He said the NAACP rejects “their brazen attempts to horn in where they not only are not wanted but where they will not be permitted to enter.” White called for a “perpetual campaign” to register every qualified Negro as a voter. He said the Negro vote already has become a power in northern and border states and predicted 3,000,000 Negroes would be registered to vote in. the south by 1956.

Egypt, Soviet Union Sign Trade Treaty Boost Annual Trade Between Countries ■CAIRO, Egypt UP — Egypt and the SoViet Union signed a trade pact today that is expected to boost by 50 per cent the present 28-million-dollar annual trade between the two countries.

It calls for the exchange of Egyptian cotton, henna, onions and artificial silk for Russian steel, wood, iron products, tractors and chemicals. The pact was signed while President Mohammed Naguib spent two hours at _ a huge East German i. industrial exhibition and while Hassan Boghdadi, his minister of commerce, said Egypt was ready to develop trade relations with any country regardless of politics. More than 1,000 Egyptian army officers cheered Naguib Tuesday night when he declared that the recent “sad events” have clarified the revolutionary movements' objective. Naguib, who was restored Monday night to full power, told the group assembled at the officers club that the crisis demonstrated the movement is backed by all Arabs and Moslems everywhere. Urges Nixon Answer Stevenson Queries Republican Reply Speech Saturday WASHINGTON UP — Rep. Olin E. Teague (D-Tex. urged Vice President Richard IM. Nixon today to be sure in his Republican reply speech Saturday to answer ques-, tions raised by Adlai E. Stevenson about the administration’s massive retaliation defense policy. “The American people deserve an answer and not an elusive’ political reply,” Teague said in a letter to Nixon. Nixon, chosen by the Republican national committee to use free radio and television time to reply to Stevensons speceh to Democratic leaders in Miami last Saturday, touched on the new defense policy Tuesday night. In a keynote speech at tMe eighth annual Philadelphia Bulletin Forum, Nixon said the new U. S. policy of avoiding “little wars” 'by relying an massive retaliatory strength to use against an aggressor at a point of its own choosing has “substantially reduced the danger of further armed aggres'sion in Asia.” -SteveßßoH--=^uestiened“-whether ■ the massive retaliation policy against an attacker means the nation has narrowed its choice in the event of a new aggressjon. Teague put his letter to Nixon In the Congressional Record. He said Stevenson’s defense questions “Involve the very safety and security” of the nation. The 1952 Democratic presidential candidate asked among other things how the massive retaliation policy will be applied where there is less than a clear case of over aggression. French Assembly Favors Peace Move PARIS, UP —An overwhelming vote in the national assembly gave French foreign minister Georges Bidault full authority today to seek an honorable peace in Indochina at the Geneva conference. ■ Premier Joseph Daniel's government Tacked the support, however, of Radical Socialists who feared nothing would be accomplished at Geneva, causing the war, now in its eighth year, to drag on and on.

Nixon in which he said the Elsenhower administration has turned buck the spread -of world Communism. Nixon said the spread of world Communism hnas been stopped by some bold decisions made by the Eisenhower administration in its first year. Outstanding among them he listed the policy to avoid being trapped into "little wars” and relying on “the massive retaliatory ■ power of our atomic weapons . . . and to use that power against the real source of the agression .. . rather than at times and places than the enemy chose.” One result during the last year, he said, is that (“in not one sighlfleant area of the “ world" Thave
