Warn Os Poisonous Japan-Made Truck High Lead Content Os Paint On Toys NEW YORK (UP) — Toy trucks made in Japan and possibly capable of killing or making lifelong idiots of American children are presently on sale at toy counters across the nation, it was reported today. A warning of potential danger in the high lead content of paint on the imported toys was sent over the weekend to 30 state and 25 city health departments. New York City and state authorities began independent investigations Monday to determine the extent of the danger and take remedial steps if necessary. The warning report was sent out by the Toy Guidance Council which said the possibly deadly paint was disclosed in routine laboratory tests on toys it was considering listing as recommended playthings Melvin Freud, president of the council, said the tests were not yet conclusive. Six toys tested by four independent laboratories showed lead content of paint ranging as high as 22 per cent in one instance, but one laboratory’s reports were consistently lower than the others. American standards require that paints containing more than 1 per cent lead carry labels warning against their use on toys or nursery furniture. Although lead based paints are now infrequently used for any interior painting, the New York City Health Department receives reports annually of about 40 cases of lead poisoning among children, usually from chewing window sills or falling plaster in old apartment buildings. Once the lead reaches the blood Stream of a child it can cause death or permanent brain injury. The health department said no 'treatment is known for its effects. The toys tested were one toy electric fan and five metal trucks and autos ranging from 10 to 13 inches in length and selling for $1 and $2 The miniature vehicles included a Red Cross ambulance, a Shell oil truck and two Ford cars. Freud said the council had no knowledge as to whether the Red Cross or the two companies had authorized use of their names and insignia on the toys, which run by Wind-up or friction processes. He said the council bought the toys at retail in New York and does not know who manufactured them. They appear from trademark insignia to be the products of several different Japanese makers, he said. Ironically, the council discovered the potential danger of these particular imported toys when it made an effort at fostering international goodwill. The organization, supported by the US. toy industry, which includes the wholesalers of the presently suspect toys, has for 19 years made annual recommendations of worthwhile and safe playthings for children of different •les Its plans to include foreign-made toys among Its recommendations for the first time next year have been dropped as a result of this preliminary investigation, Freud said. A number of German-made toys had also been under consideration and are still under laboratory test, he added.

Judges, Justices Slow With Reports Ask Investigation By Accounts Board INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Gover-, nor Handley today asked the State Board of Accounts to investigate reports that some judges and justices of the peace in Indiana are slow in forwarding information on traffic violations to the Bureau ot Motor Vehicles. Handley asked for the investigation after Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robert McMahan said his department was not receiving the records in time for proper action. Under Indiana's point system, a driver who accumulates 12 points for certain violations during a three-year period can lose his license. McMahan said some judges and 1 , justices who convict defendants do not send in reports in time for the bureau to do anything about ; drivers who accumulate a number of points during a given period. McMahan said the law requires ( judges and justices to “file the ab- i stract of conviction forthwith” and the term “forthwith” has been in-i; terpreted as meaning within 48 hours. Tropical Storm Is Slanting Northward MIAMI (UP) — Tropical storm Frieda slanted northward about 500 miles off the north Florida coast today, showing no inclination to move inland. The Weather Bureau, however, cautioned coastal dwellers north of Jacksonville, Fla., to listen to ad- : visories on the capricious storm ■ for the next two days. It also warn- , ed small craft along the Georgia , and Carolina coasts not to venture far off shore and vessels in its , path to exercise caution.

Predicts Decrease ' In Number Os Farms . Gradual Blending Os City, Countryside CHICAGO (UP) — Earl E. Butz, Dean of agriculture at Purdue University, predicted Monday night there will be fewer farms during the next 10 years and a gradual blending of city and countryside. Butz, in an address at thq annual dinner of the American Meat Institute, said the top two million farms produce about 90 per cent of all agricultural products entering into commercial trade and the remaining three million farms will decrease. He said capital requirements for agriculture “will grow, in total, per farm and per man.” "This trend has been particularly pronounced during the past two decades,” he said. “Its continuance is inevitable.” At the same time. Butz continued, there will be increasing urbanization of the countryside with the limits between city and rural areas fading. “Today," he said, “the same kind of people live on one side of the city limit sign as on the other Our modern science and technology have made it possible tor the city to move to the country and for the country to move to the city.” A highlight of the dinner meeting was the presentation by the AMI of a newly-created animal agriculture award to Albert K. Mitchell, Chicago, president of the International Livestock Exposition.

ster, Mich., at a dramatic confrontation on the actual firing range at Camp Weir where Girard killed Mrs. Naka Sakai last Jan. 30. Nickel’s testimony bolstered the prosecution's claim that the Ottawa, 111., soldier deliberately lured Mrs. Sakai into a death trap and shot her to death as a prank. Nickel reenacted the shooting before an unusual session of the Maebashi district court held on the range that had been turned into a quagmire by recent rains. ” Judge Uuzo Kawachi of the Maebashi court asked Nicket at this third trial session, “Did you

think Girard shot at the woman in fun?” "Yes,” Nickel replied. “For a joke.” But after Girard saw that the woman had been felled he seemed “shocked,” Nickel testified.'
