Other suggestions include a physical examination for school bus drivers, a nominal penalty fee of perhaps $5 or $10 for failure to report transfer of vehicle registration within the required 10 days, a uniform sized traffic ticket with court jnviction information entered oa the back and a change in the exist ing license plate rggistration provision vhereby plates would stay with the owner rather than go wita a car when it changed hands. piled during 18 years as committee counsel, Combs last night produced the names of five others he said had met a similar fate: George Alberts, a maritime engineer who was clubbed to death ia his stateroom aboard ship in San Francisco bay in 1936. An ardent anti-communist, he was killed because of his fight against Red infiltration of the shipping industry, Combs said. JULIET STUART POYNTZ of New York, who "just disappeared" in 1937, Combs identified her as "a do-gooder with a good family who drifted into Marxism with sincere motives." Her fate has never been determined, he said.

Zenon and Calina had a great deal in common. were-both natives of the Ukraine, both university students she at the University of Moscow, he at the University of Chicago. "I was all set to marry her," said Snylyk.

"The Rev. Bob Richards (U. S. pole vaulter) said he could arrange something in the Olympic chapel in five minutes. She would automatically become a U.

S. citizen. But then the Russians suddenly told us she was ill, and I couldn't see her." Zenon believes it took more than illness to keep Calina from him. He's sure, he says, that only the Russian secret police could have done it. WMC Grid, Coach Quits Petoskey Resigns With Losing Record KALAMAZOO, Dec.

DYNAN PARIS, Dec. 13 (AP) The Alantic alliance called today for freedom in Kastera Europe but pledged itself agamst a war of liberation.

Foreign ministers of the North At lantic Treaty Organization (NATO) endorsed a five-point declaration of policy on Eastern Europe submitted by West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano. NATO officials emphasized that the declaration is a Western statement of policy designed to quiet any fears in Russia that the West Is preparing to launch an attack to liberate the peoples of Eastern Europe. But Von Brentano said the peo ple of Eastern Europe have a right to know the free world's attitude toward their struggle for freedom. He said NATO must not encourage any militant action or uprising that could spill over into Western Eu rope. Instead the Atlantic alliance should strive to influence events through -economic and social con tacts.

THE FTVE POINTS submitted by Von Brentano were: 1. All peace-loving peoples shall support the right of the nations of Eastern Europe to self-determination and self-government in full freedom. 2. The political order in the countries of Eastern Europe shall be based on national independence sovereignty and the banning of any imperialistic subjugation of small nations. All nations in Eastern Europe shall have the right to decide for themselves and in full freedom on the social order in their territories.

4. The internal development of the countries of Eastern Europe shall not be Influenced by military force or threats or by economic or political pressure. This point evidently would apply to NATO countries as well as Russia. 5.

Michigan escaped with a comparatively light dusting of snow overnight as a storm dumped two to five inches of snow over most of the midwest and lower Michigan. The snowfall here was measured at one-half inch at the twin cities airport. The lowest temperature of the season was shown on The News-Palladium recording thermometer, when the mercury dipped to 12 degrees during the night. Snow slickened the roads for a time. However, on trunklines and main local roads much of the snow was dissipated by early morning today.

The weatherman forecast generally fair weather today, with a few snow flurries near the, lake. A low temperature of 5 to 12 degrees was predicted for tonight. THE HEAVIEST snow belt in the midwest stretched from lower Michigan and northern Indiana through northern Illinois and Wisconsin to northern Missouri and South Dakota. The temperature ranged from near zero to 10-below in the Dakotas and western Wisconsin.
