dianapolis will have radar speed control soon if Capt. Audry Ja- Mes cobs has anything to say about it. That was the view expressed this morning by the head of the Indianapolis Police Department traffic section after he saw several demonstrations of the radar units fn action here. “I will most certainly urge the purchase of this equipment in Indianapolis after ‘seeing it in action.” Capt. Jacobs said. “The only thing that might stand in the way is if the police court judges refuse to accept the radar testimony as evidence,” he added. .

Demonstration Wednesday

Municipal Court 4 Judge Alex M. Clark, said that he is looking forward to The Times demonstration set for Wednesday morning when he was asked about it there last week. Capt. Jacobs arrived here this morning along with Capt. Robert L. Batts, head of the communications division, and Capt. Kermit Lewis and Lt. Earl Smith of the Indiana State Police. . The foursome was greeted at

This indicated he planned no more withdrawals immediately. Gen Van Fleet said the decision to meet the enemy north of the Han—which his two predecessors did not dare to attempt--was based purely on military considerations. “We have no intentions of holding Seoul for political reasons,” he said. “It means nothing to us except in a military sense—as a battlefield.” y More than 400 United Nations
