State Troopers In Drive To Curb Crossing Wrecks

IHnTANAPm.TS Tn1 .Tan 30 JwbjjS campaign will be continUous( he cai I Enforcement action to curh reckless driving at rail crossings will be directed principally against public passenger carriers and motor transports carrying explosives , or inflammables. Troopers also will be on the lookout for negligent automobile drivers. "There seems to be an epi demic of grade crossing accidents due to careless driving," Col. Kiiiinn aprtprt Train pr'pwo h reported, have' complained of near accidents because petroleum transports were not halted at railroads, as required by law. A communication to the state police head from the joint legislative committee of the Indiana Railroad Brotherhoods charged that "this law is being violated daily." Indianapolis, Peru, Fort Wayne, Gary, Logansport,' Evans- 1 ville and Princeton were listed ' as cities in which violations have been observed. . j Col. Killian said that under the law drivers of motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire, school buses or vehicles carrying explosive substances of inflammable liquids must stop not less than 10 feet from a .-ailroad crossing. The driver is required to look and listen through an open window or door for approaching trains. While negotiating the crossing, the driver shall not shift gears. Only exceptions to the law are when a traffic control is present and directing traffic to proceed or where railway tracks are abandoned in business or residential districts. irucK, dus ana scnooi otnciais will be asked to employ responsible drivers who understand and observe state regulations governing truck and bus operation. Attention will be called to the difficulty of replacing wrecked equipment. Col. Killian pointed out that last year motor vehicle-train crash fatalities dropped six per cent, as compared with 1944. However, reported grade cross - ing accidents increased 11 per cent in the same period. The comparison showed 119 crossing deaths in 1945, or eight less than the 127 deaths in the preceding Ident total in 1944. More than 52 per cent of the rail crossing mishaps involve property damage, state police statistics show, while personal injury accidents comprise about 31 per cent of the total. State police arrests of drivers observed in crossing violations increased last year over 1944 arrests, Col. Killian recounted. A high proportion of this type ac- j cident occurs in or near urban areas, he said. ORGANIZE DAIRY ' PROGRAM IN AREA County Agricultural Agents and Farm Advisors from the seven counties around Terre Haute, attended an organization meeting at Terre Haute, Tuesday, January 29, for the purpose of organizing a comprehensive dairy program in this area. Dairy Specialist Blaine W.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (UP) Government quarters waited with cautious but rising optimism today for a sudden break in the steelvage deadlock and an end t,o the nation-

wide strike of 750,000 C.I.O.

I Hopes remained high despite lack of encouragement from either the White House or the steel industry. Neither indicated when' a break rmght come or whether the industry had received a more satisfactory offer of price relief if it accepts President Truman's proposal for a wage increase of iqi, ppnt? an hour

President Asks Congress O.K. For British Loan WASHINGTON. Jan. 30 (UP) President Truman today asked Congress to approve the $3,750,000,000 loan to Great Britain to enable her "to move side by side with the United States toward the common goal of - expanded world trade." Such expanded world trade, the president told Congress in a long awaited message "means expanded production, consumptlnJanJd V?ynt and "sing standards of living everywhere The loan would provide Britain with a $3,750,000,000 "line of credit" on which she could draw uritii 1951 to finance purchases of American goods and fill other needs, for dollars. Repayment would begin in 1951 and interest would be two per cent. The interest, however, could be waived in years when Britain's experts did not provide her with enough dollars to make the payments. The agreements also provides that Britain is to pay $650,000,000 in settlement of lend-lease aid already received. Her total repayments on principal thus would be $4,400,000,000, although the new credit would be $3,750,000,000. The lend-lease settlement is not subject to congressional approval. PLAN CHILI SUPPER

steel workers. I Both government and labor j sources, however, believed that ! price relief was the subject of j the two-day exchange here bettween Benjamin F. Fairless, pres- ! ident of U. S. Steel Corp., and Reconversion Director John W. Sny der. Fairless left for New York last night, presumably to report to his steel associates. Meanwhile, the effect -of the nine-day strike was reaching out to many smaller industries across the country. From Pittsburgh, center of the great steel industry, came reports that the dwindling supply of steel materials was forcing, many of the nation's small plants to curtail operations. Some which had been operating on a 44-hour week basis were cutting down to 40 and even 32 hours. Others planned to close for the duration of the walk-' out. Thousands of workers in related industries already were idle and the number was rising each day. , SUPPORT SWEEPING ANTI-STRIKE RILL WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (UP). House Republicans and southern Democrats were lining up today in support of a sweeping antistrike bill introduced by Representative Francis Case, R., South Dakota. The bill would make labor unions and employers equally liable under the law for violations of their contracts. It would 'also provide a 30-day no-strike cooling off period in major disputes and outlaw violI ence by union pickets. , id version f President Tru. man's fact-finding bill. Rules committee members believed his request would be granted, a move that would precipitate a bitter floor battle. HOPKINS RITES FRIDAY NEW YORK, Jan. 30.
