Lebanon Crisis Before U.N.'s Council Today Security Council To Hear Debate On Crisis In Lebanon UNITED NATIONS, NY. (UPD —The Security Council, which takes up the Lebanese crisis today, is likely also to have the French-Tunisian “pocket war'’ on its hands before the day is out. ' Another dispute which probably will come before the council in the near future is the IsraeliJordanian clash on Mt. Scopus in which Canadian It. Col. George F. Flint, a U.N. observer, was killed Monday. The Lebanese debate (3 p.m. e.dt.) is expected to be a brief formality leading to agreement to postpone U.N. action until the Arab Lague has a chance to conI sider Lebanon's charge of “massive interference” in its rebellion by President Gamal A. Nasser’s United Arab Republic. Lebanon’s case will be presented by Fadhil Al-Jamali of Iraq, a member of the council. Karim Azkoul of Lebanon and Omar Loutfi of the UAR will take part in the debate. Lebanese Foreign Minister Charles Malik, who had planned to come here to present his country's case, decided to remain in Beirut. Tunisian president Habib Bourguiba’s government has announced that it will complain to the council about the new upsurge of fighting on its territory, including both ground clashes and French air attacks on Tunisian villages. . . —_■ The 11-nation group began de- • bate on the French-Tunisian dis- .< pute several weeks ago, but post- : .poned action while “good offices'' | negotiators from the United States ; land Britain tried in vain to work 1 out a settlemen1 1

Booklet By Suicide - Club Shows Wrecks Suicide Club Calls It Shock Treatment By RICH THOMAS BERKLEY, Mich- (UPD—The Suicide Club calls it shock treatment. You may call it sickening. But pictures of human beings crushed, burned, clashed in half or hung up on telephone poles undeniably make you think'. And that’s what Dean H. Robinson, 52- year -old Detroit area advertising man, is after with his Suicide Club. “We want people actually to see the results of all the stupid, reekjess, wild-driving that kills about 38,000 Americans in the U.S. every year,” said Robinson. “The statistic doesn't mean much but! when you see a picture of a pretty young girl who’s lost her arms, legs and most of her head in a speeding crash, you just have to think.” Distributes Booklets and Films Robinson’s club each year pub-! lishes a 20-page booklet called j “Death on the Highway” and a! 35-millimeter strip film slide with - recorded commentary. Both pre-1 sent his club’s yearly harvest of \ bloody newspictures—so gruesome i they never make the local paper. So far, with little promotional effort from Robinson himself, over 1.200,000 booklets have been sold and about 10 million people have seen his films and heard his commentaries More than 500 high school driver training programs, 2,000 of the nation's largest corporations and hundreds of state and local police agencies and traffic courts are using the material for driver education. Robinson asso includes membership cards for bis Suicide Club for viewers of either the booklet or film. So far, he has distributed 15 million cards. Shocked His Sons Robinson has run the Suicide Club on a spare-time, non-profit basis but now is interested in finding an organization that could develop and exploit its- program nationally bn a full-time basis. Robinson said the 'shock” idea got started when his two sons bought old jalopies with the SIOO he gave them for high school graduation presents. They were wild drivers and he became terrified that they would kill themselves or someone else. “I talked and talked but it didn’t seem to do much good,” he said. “So I wrote, to some newspaper editor friends and asked I them to send me the most grue- | some 'pictures they had in their j files. It worked."

1 ’ —■ Overrules Protest On Qualification INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Central Area Competition Committee of the United States Auto Club ruled late Monday against an Indianapolis man who protested a I qualification time trial decision for the Memorial Day 500-mile race. Fred Sommer filed a protest in connection with a second qualifying speed granted Bob Christie, Grants Pass, Ore., who qualified a week ago Sunday at an average speed of 141.900 miles per hour. His speed was later upped to 142.253—ju5t fast enough to keep him from being “bumped” Sun-day-following a richeck of the official timers’ tape.. Sommer pointed out that his car, driven by Gene Hartley of Indianapolis, would be in the race had officials followed the rules and not changed the announced speed. Chief stewart Harlan Fengler disallowed the protest, saying it should have been filed within half an hour after Christie’s new speed was posted. Sommer appealed to the USAC, governing body of the “500, ’ for further consideration. Robert C- Wilke, chairman of the competition committee, upheld Fengler’s ruling that the protest was filed too late. He said it was not made within time limits prescribed In USAC official competition rules or in the Speedway entry blank.

Toronto Ready For Team In Major League TORONTO (UPD— The city of Toronto stood officially ready to welcome a major league baseball team today, and, although there seemed little prospect of anyone immediately accepting the hospitality, all concerned were overjoyed to have the invitation out in the open. The city council Monday recognized the possibility of major league baseball for Canada’s second largest bity in a formally worded resolution. It was proposed by Controller William Allen and seconded by Mayor Nathan Philips, and it told the president of the National League, Warren Giles, that “an agreement may be negotiated for use of a baseball stadium in the Canadian National Exhibition grounds which would meet all the rquirements of the league.” It added that “the city is desirous of being represented in major league baseball.” The city government therefore recognizes a statement last Friday by Giles that the league would take “immediate steps” to move the Los Angeles Dodgers out of the West Coast city if a referendum for a new baseball park in Chavez Ravine is defeated June 3. Toronto and Minneapolis were mentioned as possible new homes for the Dodgers at that time. Both baseball and civic officials made it clear that a Dodger move to Toronto appeared quite remote in view of a statement Monday by club President Walter O'Mallet that he would fight any such attempt •I'* Protest Beanball Pitching Os Giants PITTSBURGH (UPD-Joe L. | Brown, general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, appealed to National League President Warren Giles Monday in a “formal'’ protest against “beanball” pitchers in general, and those who play foj, the San Francisco Giants in particular. The protest was a direct result of the flare-up between the Pirates and the Giants at Forbes Field Sunday. Brown said he felt it was “obvious” that Giant pitcher Ruben Gomez "threw at Bill Mazeroski," the Pirates’ second baseman in the first game of the doubleheader, and said he told Giles of his feelings in a 15-minute telephone conversation. —....— The general manager charged the beanball pitch was used by the Giants earlier in the season when the clubs played a series at San Francisco. That was when Pirate players Ron Kline and Hank Fciles were struck by pitches < In the latest incident, Sunday. Mazeroski blocked a pitch flying toward his head by throwing up his arm. The Pirate general manager said he suggested to Giles that umpires be given the power to throw out of a game any pitcher he believes has tried to "dust off” a batter.
