UN Archives By Richard Witkin
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Aug. 14 (UP)— On two specially-reinforced floors of the United Nations’ new glass house are stored, among other things, three Samoan canoes, service for a Jewish” religious fest, two machine guns and 8000 cubic feet of UNRRA documents.
All these random items are officially assigned
. to the Unitgd Nations Archives Section, whose
job it is to collect, sort and index all the official papers, gifts, flags and other items of historical significance the United Nations is constantly accymulating.
Some day, the United Nations hopes to pick the most interesting items and display them in an official museum. . But right now, they're just piling up on the 19th and 20th floors of the en Notions Manhattan headquarters, and it takes a staff of 20 to keep the storage area from looking like the home of the Collyer Brothers, New York's famed recluses. ob o . ONE AMATEUR statistician has estimated that the documents alone total 12.5 million individual pieces of«paper. One bit of paper that is not an official document but probably will get a special niche in an eventual museum is a voting slip from the man in the street. The ballot came to the United Nations notice in 1946, during the Security Council debate on Iran's complaint against Russia. In those days, votes were cast by dropping ballots in a box, instead of by hand, the current custom. And on that particular Mar. 26, the council, - conducting its first vote since moving

from London to New York's Hunter. College, made use of a brand new voting box. bo oS" $ WHEN THE BOX was opened, one extra slip was found inside. On it was written: “May I who have had the privilege of fabricating this ballot box cast the first vote? May God be with every member of the United Nations organization and through your noble efforts bring lasting peace to us all—all over the world. Paul Antonio, mechanic.” ’ © The three Samoan canoes are models that were given as a goodwill gesture to a United Nations mission that visited the South Pacific island. The Jewish service, intended for a Seder feast, was donated in another goodwill gesture, complete with two bottles of wine, by a rabbi.

Officials were assigned to leaf through old vouchers looking for shipping overcharges, and fo date, the laborious task has netted the United Nations around $1 million in settled claims. Among the other items in the archives section are a certified copy of the United Nations charter, the keys to New York City and to Paris’ Palais De Chaillot, and some 25,000-30.000 disks recording a total of some 15,000 hours of United

Safety School By Howard DeWald
PHOENIX, Ariz, Aug. 14 (NEA)—Night rides with highway patrolmen are taking the wreck out of reckless youths in the Phoenix area. Boys and girls between 16 and 18 years old who have been arrested for traffic law violations In Maricopa County must attend a 10-hour juvenile traffic violators’ school. Then they ride the night patrol to learn first-hand how traffic accidents occur and how they could have been avoided by respect for the law. Judge Charles C. Bernstein inaugurated the school a year ago to do something about “the most reckless group” of drivers. He instructed police to get tough with juveniles and arrest them for the slightest violation. Appearing before the judge, the juvenile’s license is suspended until he successfully completes the 21;3-week course,

THE FIRST YEAR a "thousand youths comOnly ¥8 graduates were arrested as “repeaters. for traffic law violations. Their licens were suspended from 30 to 90 days. Before the school was established, the judge said, there were so many repeaters among juvenile violators that they were referred to adult courts for prosecution. The first thing juveniles get when they enter the school is a test to determine their attitudes toward other drivers and traffic laws. Then follows an examination of how much they know about the mechanical operation of a vehicle and an actual driving test in city traffic. A psycho-physical test is given and a modVie which characterizes bad youthful driving habits shown. Ld oe oe

NOT ONLY does the school change many bad driving habits the youths have developed, but it also eliminates hostile attitudes toward laws and police, an attitude that Judge Bernstein says is the heart of all juvenile delinquency. A teen-ager’s dislike for lawmen doesn’t last long when he sits beside a patrolman for a night ride. As they cruise the highways, minor traffic law viclations are pointed out and the more flagrant

NEW YORK, Aug. 14—Capt. Gustav Berg was as excited as a’child going to his first circus. His pale blue-green eyes, the color of a spray of ocean foam were alive with anticipation. His blue suit was pressed, his black shoes polished, his graying sandy hair neatly combed. A year ago he'd retired after 43 years at sea. Now he was going back on one of the first trips’ of the new luxury liner, SS Constitution, owned
r
by his old company, American Export Lines. All
. his old friends came over to talk to him.
? - gwitehboard and the
“How do you like retirement?” everyone asked him. “yah, it's nice,” Capt. Berg would answer. “I'm catching up on doimg nothing. One thing I won't do is mow the lawn. “You know, I timed it. It took me an hour to mow the lawn. But my wife—you know how women are—she wasn’t satisfied. She said I should mow it both ways. I said nothing doing. You hire somebody. “So now I don’t do the lawn. I help with the dishes and maybe fix breakfast. That's all. No
lawn.” &- >» o>
IT WAS 1901 when Capt. Berg, fresh from Sweden, first went to sea. For six years he was a Nebraska farmer, but went back to sea again and stayed there until 1950. He served through two World Wars without ever being topedoed «I was chased by a sub off Long Island, but that’s the closest I came. I was very lucky.” An old friend walked by and hailed him, Capt Berg told him he liked retirement, but wouldn't cut ‘the lawn. “you know,” he resumed, “I live in Summit N.J. I've lived there for 29 years, but I'm just starting to get acquainted with my neighbors now. It's a nice life.”

Reckless Drivers Get Night Rides

are stopped and issued citations by the patrolmen. The young riders are told why the ticket was written and how the seemingly insignificant violation endangered the lives of many. “I never realized how many people break the law until I saw it out on the highway,” a 17-year-old ‘boy said after his ride.

THE OFFICERS STOP occasionally while on patrel to buy their young riders a malted milk, talk about what they have seen. A 16-year-old relative of one of Arizona's high public officials and his girl were picked up one night for driving their cars side by side at 65 miles an hour along a main thoroughfare while they talked to each other. ’ Both were “sentenced” to attend the juvenile drivers school. The boy was riding with a patrolman as the final part of his training, along the same thoroughfare, when the officer picked up a man for speeding. “The guy's crazy to take a chance like that through here,” the hoy said. His attitude had changed: A month before, he had taken a more dangerous chance. IN ONE NIGHT PATROL, for example, a juvenile learned first-hand that strict observance of stop signs eleminates many accidents, that driving while drowsy is inviting a ditch full of overturned automobile, and that drunk and reckless driving is a rush order for an ambulance and the coroner The boy said: “That ride helped me realize how dangerous a car can be when taken lightly. I think all kids should have a ride with a patrolman once.” The American Bar Association has recognized the school as the only one of its kind conducted by a juvenile court in the country. Among the most enthusiastic supporters of the school are Phoenix traffic officers and state highway patrolmen. Capt. George Stinson of the Arizona Highway Patrol says: “This school is going to make our lives easier for years to come.”
