REPUBLIC CITY Page 3 -The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona' Junior Highway Patrol Gets 500 Boys And Girls Monday, September 1, 1947 Pitching Horseshoes Why Don't They Let A Guy Alone, Then? BY BILLY ROSE The crowd in the ball park had quieted down. It was the top of the ninth. Foley was up. He singled to right field and stretched it to a double when the fielder bobbled it. The crowd began to get noisy.

That put the tying run on base. Why don't they leave a guy alone, Marty Gilson was thinking as he sat in the dugout and waited for his turn at bat Why don't they leave a guy alone until the Series is over? As, for instance, the old bum who had stopped him outsid the players' entrance. Marty hadn't recognized him until the bum handed him that old one about needing carfare to get to a job with a ball club in Mexico. It was Joe Powers, Noted Spokane Attorney Dies SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 31 (AP) Edward M.

Connelly, 54 years old, former Washington state supreme court justice, Democratic party leader and one of the better known criminal lawyers in the Pacific Northwest, died unexpectedly early today. "He became ill yesterday afternoon and was hospitalized. Death was attributed to a heart ailment. Connelly, a graduate of Gonzaga University, had a colorful career in the legal profession. He was defense attorney in some of the most outstanding cases tried in Eastern Washington.

His work as a lawyer also included the prosecution of many criminals in both state and federal courts. He served as a deputy prosecutor many years ago in Spokane county. Before his appoint ment to the state supreme court by Gov. Wallgren he served as United States district attorney for the Eastern Washington district.

Patrol members are trained in military drill sufficiently to enable them to give a presentable appearance when going to and from school to their stations, and also are instructed in the control of both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. At no time during his duties is a junior patrolman permitted to jeopardize his or her own safety by being in the street.

Their explicit instructions are to remain at the curb line at all times. VWe have found," says Farr, the state patrol's director of traffic safety and education, "that in addition to being a safety measure of the highest priority in the movement of children to and from school, our program has two other beneficial effects. "BECAUSE THEY are required to be outstanding pupils to belong to the patrol, authorities report that their demeanor encourages other pupils to strive for better grades and deportment. "Last, but far from least, another benefit derived from this program lies in the fact, proven by statistics, that in the six years of operation of our junior patrol, there has not been one occasion brought light in which a former member of the junior organization has become a problem child or has been involved in juvenil delinquency. "Further, in view of the fact that we have about 4,000 miles of state highways upon which are situated more than 300 schools with an enrolled population in excess of 90,000, the very fact that there has never been a school child struck and killed or even injured at any school crossing under the jurisdiction of one of our junior units, is proof of the marvelous job that these boys and girls are doing." Opening of schools throughout the state this month will signal the reactivation of an organization which is playing an increasingly important part in child safety the Arizona Junior Highway Patrol.

Disbanded by a former state highway patrol superintendent, the junior patrol was reorganized a year ago under the direction of A. G. Walker, superintendent of the sponsoring organization, and now has a membership of more than 500 boys and girls. EVENTUALLY, IT IS hoped to have junior patrol units at all the 300 schools in the state which are situated along state highways. The process is hampered by lack of funds to equip and uniform these junior partners of the highway patrol.

An effort was made to induce a recent legislature to grant a small appropriation for this purpose, but was unsuccessful. Consequently, public spirited organizations such as service clubs, Parent-Teacher Association groups and others are depended upon to provide the necessary funds to outfit junior patrol units in their localities. Organization, training and supervision of these units has been placed by Superintendent Walker in the hands of L. C. Farr of the highway patrol, who devotes most of his time to traveling about the state instructing the boy and girl patrolmen, appearing before sponsoring clubs and other groups and enlisting the support of such groups in the organization of new junior patrol units.

SELECTION OF patrol members is left entirely in the hands of school authorities and is based solely on the fitness of the individual boy or girl chosen for this responsibility. Junior patrolmen must be outstanding both in their Democrats Map Drive Opening Republic's Washington Bureau 1397 National Press Building WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 The Democratic national committee will "kickoff its 1948 campaign Tuesday night. It plans a "National Radio Meeting" with a program originating from eight points, and local "listener parties" all over the country. Principal among the speakers will be Brien McMahon of Connecticut, senator, who will speak from Washington.

"This is in lieu of my western trip to speak to the young Democrats," McMahon told the Arizona Republic. If the "National Radio Meeting" is successful, Gael Sullivan, campaign director, said tonight, it may establish the Democrats' campaign technique for the coming year. It was also learned that the meeting will make the first official national committee sponsored mention of President Truman for re-election. Residents Ask Street Repair A committee of Sunnyslope residents, headed by Dock Rowland, garage owner, Saturday filed with the county board of supervisors a petition requesting the portion of Mountain View road in that community lying between Third street and Cave Creek road be declared a county highway. The petition, carrying 55 signatures of qualified taxpayers of the county, was drawn up by Forrest Hoyt, attorney and civic leader of the unincorporated residential area.

Hoyt pointed out that should the county officials approve the request the designated section of the road would be improved in accordance with regulations governing county highways. "Some time ago, the three-block portion of Mountain View between Central avenue and Third street was declared a county highway and improved," Hoyt said, adding that the section noted in the petition was comparatively short and its improvement would pose no unusual engineering Group Urges Refugee Aid WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (AP) Top congressional priority next year on legislation to admit of Europe's homeless war refugees over a four-year period was urged today by the Citizen's Committee on Displaced Persons. "Misery, hopelessness and dis-pair take no vacation or recess," declared Earl G. Harrison, chairman of the organization.

'The displaced persons problem should top the foreign and domestic agenda in congress when it reconvenes January 2. "THERE CAN BE no peace in the world until the displaced persons problem is settled and we can give our domestic economy a shot in the arm by integrating these valuable human beings into our agricultural and industrial pattern," he contended. Harrison's statement was given to a reporter through the committee's Washington office. A measure to admit the 400,000 refugees, sponsored by Rep. William G.

Stratton, Republican of Illinois, and endorsed by the administration, was shelved at least temporarily by a house judiciary subcommittee after extensive public hearings in the closing days of the last session. MEANWHILE President Truman has served notice of his intention to renew his appeal for passage of a measure to admit a proportion of the refugees. Mr. Truman told a news conference recently that citizens of the United States should not object to their admission because all Americans are descendants of displaced persons. A number of traveling congressional committees will look into the problem at first hand during coming months, inspecting the DP camps in the Anglo-American zones of Germany which have housed the refugees since victory two years ago.

A SPOKESMAN for the citizens committee, which has its headquarters in New York, reported that the organization has spent nearly $200,000 thus far in the campaign for the legislation, obtaining the money from private contributions. He said that since the work of the committee is political in nature that of influencing passage of legislation there is no tax exemption on contributions. He said this had served to bar other contributions from tax exempt organizations supporting the work.

Phone 4-3943 had once batted .329 for Cin cinnatL Joe was like lots of fellows Marty knew about guys who had hung on in baseball when they didn't have it anymore guys who slipped from the majors to the minors--and wound up standing around saloons and telling how it was in the days of Jawn McGraw. FOLEY TOOK a long lead off second. Look at him out there with those 22-year-old springs in his legs, Marty thought.

He rub' bed his hip where it still hurt from that slide in the first game. Funny how long it took for bumps and scratches to heal when you got past 35. Every time he made one of those long throws these days his arm felt as if the blood had been cut off from it. Why did Patterson have to pick out today to talk to him? During batting practice before the game, he had called him over to his grandstand box and offered him eight thousand a year to go to work for his sporting goods com' pany. Nice fellow, that Patterson.

Crazy about ball players. But why did he have to talk about quitting baseball right in the middle of a World Series? McDermott was up now. The in field was playing deep for him. On the first pitch, McDermott dumped a bunt down the third-base line. Crazy thine for the manager to have called for with two out.

Mac was safe on first and Foley went to third. MARTY REMEMBERED how his body looked in the long mirror that morning. It appeared no du ferent. But he knew it was dif feijent. Yesterday when he had run for the long fly in the eighth his heart had pounded so loud he won dered the people in the bleachers didn't hear it.

Still, he figured to get renewed at the same salary next year. The year after? Why did that bum Joe Powers have to come around today anyway? It was Marty's turn at bat. He picked up a couple of bats, swung them, and dropped one. Then he went through the ritual of pulling at his cap, knocking the clay out of his spikes and rubbing a little dirt into his hands. He stepped into the batter's box and looked out toward the pitcher.

Tfte man on the mound seemed tired. You could tell from the way he fingered the rosin bag and wiped his hands on his shirt. "Knock it out of the park, Marty," a leather-lung yelled down from the stands. THE PITCHER cam down with a fast one that might have been called either way. The umpire said, "Strike." Pretty fast, Marty I thought.

Those kids always cornel up with that extra zing in the! tight spots. The pitcher threw again. Marty missed a floater by a good six inches. Oh, fine. Marty thought, letting a kid make a monkey out of you in front of a World Series crowd.

The next pitch was high and outside. Marty decided to let it go by, then swung wildly at it. His bat tipped the ball and it went foul. The leather-lung in the grandstand hollered, "Back to the bush leagues, you bum!" That was a fan for you. You were only as good as your last time at bat.

Well, they could have it. He'd call the sporting goods man at his hotel that night. AS THE PITCHER got set to throw again, Foley, on third, faked a break for the plate. The man on the mound hurried his throw. It came up to the plate with absolutely nothing on it the perfect home run ball a player gets to look at maybe a couple of times a season.

For one wild crazy part of a second, Marty thought of letting it eo bv for the third strike. That would make it easier for a fellow whose time was running out and who wanted to walk away from baseball. I Maybe it was a reflex. Maybe it; was all those people watching. Anyway, Marty swung.

He knew the feel of it as he connected that the ball was going to go a long way. The noise in the stands was thunder as he trotted around the bases. Rounding third, he grinned and waved at the crowd. The manager hugged him as he crossed the plate. "I thought the kid had you going there for a minute," he said.

"Quit your kidding," said Marty. Riverside School Opening Is Slated Riverside School, Lateral 17 and Buckeye road, vdll open its fall term September 8, T. J. Maxwell, principal, announced yesterday.

Thursday. MEHAGIAH'S Distinctive Home FumUhinrs 825 N. CENTRAL AVE. 1 dXcoIoveJ Lf) BRUSH COMPLETE I Mob Hearing JACKSON, N. Aug.

31 (AP) A 54-year-old anti-lynching law, enacted by a North Carolina legislature during an era marked by fre quent mob action, will be called into play here tomorrow when charges against seven white men are aired at a special hearing. The state's second attempt to prosecute seven Rich Squaretresi dents on charges growing out of the attempted lynching of a young Negro last May 23 is the occasion for the exercise of the 1893 law. AN 18-3IAN Northampton county grand jury refused to indict the seven August 5. Terming the grand jury's action a "reflection on the state of North Carolina," Gov. R.

Gregg Cherry turned swiftly to the state's stat ute books and ordered further action under the anti-lynching law. The law provides for broader jurisdiction in lynching cases than ordinarily permitted for other criminal cases. Specifically, it gives "the superior court of any county which adjoins the county in which the crime of lynching shall be committed complete jurisdiction over the crime and offender to the same extent as if the crime had been committed within the bounds of the adjoining county JUDGE J. PAUL FRIZZELLE of Snow Hill has been commissioned by Governor Cherry to sit as spe cial committing magistrate in the hearing. The prosecution will be headed by Ernest R.

Tyler, solici tor of Roxobel. The seven defendants have made no public statement concerning the charges. They are Robert Vann pickle factory worker: Russell Bryant, filling station operator; Linwood and Gilbert Bryant, brothers, carpenters; Glenn Collier, barber; Joe Cunningham, assistant theater manager; and W. G. Cooper, lunch stand operator.

THEY ARE CHARGED with conspiracy to Break ana enter a jail and with breaking and enter ing a jail with intent to kill or in jure a prisoner, each of which car ries a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment. The grand jury which refused to indict them also refused to indict 22-year-old Godwin (Buddy) Bush, the Negro they ere charged with abducting from the Northampton county jail. He had been arrested on charges of attempted assault on a young white woman with intent to commit rape. Bush fled his captors and later surrendered to officers. McCarran Holds To Early Gain RENO, Aug.

L. Stadtherr, said that ad-! ditional transfusions would be given and that Senator McCarran must remain in the hospital for; several weeks. The senator, leader of the Western silver bloc in congress, was stricken with a stomach ailment nine days ago in Tonopah, Nev.
