Truck Drivers Outwit Police At Roadblocks
Evade Weight Check By Secret Signals By IRVING LEIBOWITZ A truck drivers’ “code of ethics” is frustrating efforts of State, Police to keep overloaded trucks, from wrecking Indiana highways. Truckers, aware that Police; road blocks are being set up to} control the illegal
ony
overweight! hauls, have devised .an infallible! : warning system. When a truck 1s caught in the police net, other truckers flash light signals and wave log books, to oncoming trucks, warning them| of impending “danger.” The warned drivers either park their trucks, until the blockade is lifted, or switch off to other roads. This. highway “code,” keeps a $ maximum of truckers out of the! courts and the roads in poor con-| dition. Take Back Roads | The method truckers use to out-| wit police ‘Officers trying to make, weight checks of truck cargo was demonstrated when a road block, set up by State Police Lt. David Laughlin and a squad of troopers at State Road 67 and Shadeland Ave., netted only four violators in a two-hour period.

Testing Center Planned Here For Air World
Local Field May Turn
Into Biggest Terminal By JACK THOMPSON Already a bigenamé in the aviaition field, Indianapolis is on fits way to becoming the world-wide lair center of the future. | Here in the Hoosier capital, the system that in the next 15 years is expected to make flying an allweather and ‘virtually automatic business is to be tested and evaluated. Many of the new air navigation devices to be used in this system now are being demonstrated at the Civil Aeronautics Administration Experimental Station at Municipal Airport. Extensive Program
Staging this air show, which is considered one of the most significant {n the history of aviation, fis the Radio Technical Commisision for Aeronautics. The RTCA is a volunteer group composed of representatives from government agencies interested in aviation, the airlines, the aircraft manufacturing industry and private flying groups. It has recommended an exten|sive program to satisfy the overall objectives of military and civilian aviation—swift and safe movement of large numbers of aircraft, regardless of weather, along busy air routes and into specific air terminals. «Show Here a Sendoff
Approved unanimously by the Congress and the President, the program is divided into two parts. It will cost an estimated $1.113 billion—only about 5 per cent of the country’s present investment in aviation—and take 15 years, at the minimum, to complete. The transition phase must be operating within five years to conform with RTCA recommendations. The show at CAA headquarters here is the sendoff for this phase.

The industry will work out the projects for which it has been contracted and bring the final results to Indianapolis. Here the CAA will accept or reject the results after a careful analysis and possible revisions. CAA officials believe that Indianapolis will become the focal point not only for this work but for all federal aviation activities. including actual research, study of the effects of flight on the human body and testing of aircraft. If this happens, it may mean that the already thriving local airport will become the biggest air terminal in the world.

LONDON, Nov. 13 (UP) — Santa Claus made an early appearance today on the bench in Mariboréugh Street police court. Mrs. Dorothy * Gurney, hardworking mother of an eight-year-old girl, was on trial for stealing Christmas toys from a department store. Probation officers explained that Mrs. Gurney supported her daughter on hér small income. Judge Daniel Hopkins nodded sympathetically and bent down from the bench. He asked the little girl if she wanted toys for Christmas. “Oh yes,” she replied. The judge ordered the court to spend a pound—$4—on Christmas presents for the child.

U.S. to Enlist 15 Million in Atom Defense
Civilian Corps Would Serve In Disasters
Report to Forrestal
Points Out Dangers
By GRANT DILLMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 13— Official planners tonight urged quick action on a vast scale to defend America’s millions against atomic bombs, poison gases, and “secret weapons” of the unknown future. . They called for mobilization of 15 million volunteer citizens in a civil defense system without parallel, Civil defense, they said, is the “missing link” in the nation’s chain of protection against sur. prise attack. Emphasizing that U. 8. cities and communities are totally une prepared to deal with the devas« tation expected in another war, the planners said the nation’s best brains must be enrolled for civil defense. To point up what a new war would be like, they said: “A. single atomic bomb dropped on a large city could cause 100,000 casualties—40,000 of them either killed instantly or dead Within a few weeks.” Agony and Death And gas attacks “could mean agonizing suffering and death to entire populations.” The defense system was proposed to Defense Secretary James Forrestal by the Office of Civil Defense plannifig headed by Russell J. Hopley, The group spent 20 Roms devising it, i y p the rpcomemendations puble. But he em. phasized the Defense Dep t has not acted on them. It was estimated, however, that the pro. gram. could be rolling within’ six months after approval by Cone gress. The planners said the defense organization should be headed by a prominent civilian responsible to the Defense Secretary. State directors, who would put the program into effect in emergencies, would have state cabinet rank. Surprise Attacks The planning group said the first inkling of the next war, if it comes, may be surprise attacks on “one or a score of our major centers” by ocean-spanning aire craft carrying atomic bombs or super explosives. Or, the report to M¥. Forrestal said, the conflict may be heralded by guided missile attacks from distant points or from enemy sub 'arines lying off - American ines 1 IRE off Ameren Under. the Civil Defense Office's plan, each state and city would set up its own ‘defense teams ready ta cope with disasters at a moment's notice. After an atomic attack, radie oligical experts armed with Geiger counters would move into bombed out areas to determine whether they were safe or “poisoned.” Rescue the Living Other squads would rescue any, living vietims of the explosion, treat casualties, inform survivors how to dispose of contaminated clothing, and tell them what they could eat and drink. Food and water contaminated with radios activity would be major hazards: The program would take full advantage of existlthg fire and police systems. These agencies would put out fires, restore order, prevent looting and restore come munications and transportation. All available doctors and med. ical facilities would be mobilized immediately. But this would be a particularly critical problem, Many doctors would be in the: Armed Forces. Others presumably would be caught in the atomie blast because doctors’ offices are concentrated in built-up sections, ————t esl. 3
