Gary Cracking Down On Youthful Drivers GARY Ind. (UPI)-A Gary youth, one of 159 young traffic law violators convicted in City Court here Monday during a safedriving campaign, was sentenced to 15-days in the Lake County Jail on charges of driving on a suspended license. The crackdown bn the offenders, whose age ranged from 17 to 23, was ordered by Gary Police Chief John Foley after residents in East Gary complained constantly about wild and dangerous driving along U.S. 12 and 20 where youths had been racing in and out of drivo-in restaurants. Many of the youths, all of whom were arrested within the past 17 days, faced multiple charges.

charges of reckless driving, while a third accumulated 17 points toward revocation of his operator's license, five over the maximum allowed. The jail term was the, toughest punishment handed out by Judge A. Martin Katz. Fines averaged from $5 to $35. Katz singled out traffic officer Richard Knepper for “extra-ordi-nary service to the community,” since Knepper made more arrests than anybody else. Katz pointed out, however, nobody complained of the methods used to bring about the arrests. Authorities said most of the offenders were cited for not having proper tail lights, reckless driving, and having faulty mufflers. About nine million American families and more than 35*4 million persons are expected to move from one home to another in 1959, according to an official in the moving van industry. There are about 1,600 manufacturers of scientific apparatus in the U.S.

Seek Peaceful Use For Outer Space UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) —Scientists and lawyers of 13 nations today .begin figuring ways for men to work together peacefully in outer space instead of fighting as they do on Earth. The. project was off to a shaky start because of a five-nation boycott led by the Soviet Union but the United States and other Western nations still had great hopes for it. A United States working paper foresaw the possibilty of the United Nations sponsoring research into long - range weather forecasting, communications through space (reflectors and naviation in space. It even suggested the possibility of a global effort to send man to the moon or neighboring planets. Two groups were meetin here today—-the legal and the scientific subcommittees of the 18-nation special committee on the peaceful uses of outer space. The General Assembly appointed the committee last fall. Russia refused to participate unless the committee membership were balanced between Soviet satllites and neutralists on the on hand and countries alined with the West on the other.
