Harris a man who must worry all year about getting the transit firm's vehicles through congested city streets. Because he fights the problem constantly, he knows traffic. He agrees with a group of experts gathered together by Architectural Forum magazine. They point out that good mass transportation made the big city possible, and is essential to preserve the dow ntown heart of such cities. 4 i Work on West Leg of Bell Is Set lor '54 The State Highway Commission made plans today to start construction of the west leg of Ind.

100, west of Indianapolis, late next year. The route is part of a belt highway which eventually will circle the city. The commission said engineers will start drawing plans for the four-lane highway some time after July 1 the start of the next fiscal year. Completion of the plans could take anywhere from a year to a year and a half, depending on when the work is started and the number of men assigned to K'i A i fv' i I Visit Bares Abuses at Pendleton Officials of the State Department of Correction in a surprise midnight inspection found Indiana Reformatory prisoners sleeping on bare floors without covers. The prisoners so treated were those in isolated detention cells, according to Hugh P.

O'Brien, Board of Correction chairman. The surprise visit was made recently. O'Brien did not say how many prisoners were in the isolated detention cells. The department immediately ordered reformatory officials to provide mattresses and blankets for the prisoners. Orders also were issued to permit prisoners in quarantine cells to use matches to light cigarettes after the inspectors found "an archaic device." O'Brien said it takes 40 minutes to light a cigarette from the device, which is composed of ire, flint and rope.

The complicated "cigarette lighter" apparently was not a lire protection device, but was used as a punitive measure. The Correction Board also ordered officials of penal institutions not to permit trusties to leave the institution without an armed guard. Apparently, O'Brien said, it has been the custom In the past to permit trusties to drive cars or trucks on Institutional errands without being accompanied by an armed guard. This order came as the re-, suit of a "friendly visit" by an Indiana State Prison trusty to the board's Statehouse office. O'Brien said the trusty, wearing tailor-made civilian clothes, passes as Ind.

"There isn't the interest with a state agency there is with the city," Harris says. 8 Traffic and parking regulations on Saturdays should be as tough, or tougher, than on weekdays. Transit schedules go blooie on Saturdays, and Harris says "instead of less traffic control, we should have more." What can the city do to help Indianapolis Railways? What can Indianapolis Railways do and what does the company plan to do to get more people on its vehicles? A resumption of express service, says Railways President W.

GIRL FIGHTS 3 MEN Attempt to Jump Off Bridge Foiled 1 fry i The News is dicussing in this series of articles the conclusions of the forum and how they may apply to Indianapolis. The main point made Harris in ideas he has to better the situation is a man-sized traffic engineering department, one of a size a city as large as Indianapolis should have, but doesn't.

"This city ought to have a traffic bureau and engineering department with real powers, on ments like the police departments lige the police department, and with an ample budget," he said. Harris praises William II. Eilby, city traffic engineer, but says what he can accomplish is limited by his powers, his staff and the money he can spend. Until the city gets an adequate department, Harris says, it can go only so far toward solution of its problems. Indianapolis Railways has a vital stake in the traffic problem.

It can attract new business, keep faster schedules and cut down wear on its equipment with better traffic conditions. One of its vehicles can carry as many people as 15 cars or more. But, Harris says, until the city gets an adequate traffic engineering department, there are other things that can and should be done. He includes among them: 1 Make all narrow streets one way, and on some streets in the downtown and near downtown areas ban parking on both sides of the street. On key streets reserve a.

lane for inbound and out-: bound transit vehicles. Mark it off with a double yellow line. Transit vehicles would operate with much greater speed, load and unload more easily, quickly and with greater safety. Tie in all one-way streets with a master traffic light control system; have more lights on east-west streets to ease heavy crosstown traffic on such arteries as 16th, 30th and 38th streets. A Four-way pedestrian walks at busy corners so that no traffic moves when the pedestrian does.

5 Depend on parking meters for traffic control, not revenue. 6 Keep lanes Well marked; control access to such by JANK GREER to ihe victor goes the kiss. Jane Greer to Do '500' Race Honors wandered into the office and remarked to employees: "I was in the neighborhood and just thought I would drop in and see Mr. O'Brien." The man was a trusty whom O'Brien said he had met several days earlier at a parole hearing at the State Prison. Herman Hoglebogle Says: More power to Speedway Police Chief Glen Collins in his efforts to keep gam bling and crime away from the home of the 500-Mile Race.

The Speedway is one sporting event in the country never tainted by or--ganized gam-bling. But only constant vigilance will keep it out and keep the fast-buck boys, who would swindle a few bucks here and there, from preying on race visitors.

Definite route of the west leg of the belt highway has not yet been disclosed. However, the department Is planning to start construction on the north at U.S. 52, northeast of the 56th Street crossing. The highway will extend south-ward on or along High School Road to a point south of West-lake. It then will parallel High School Road on the east until it reaches Ind.

40, east of Indianapolis, will take priority over construction of the west leg. Completion of this west section of the highway still will leave two gaps in the belt road. The major one will be the southern route planned along Thompson Road. The other is an extension of the west leg norm ward irom u.z. to a point where it reaches the northern leg of Ind.

SEE A DOCTOR Nev Drug Cuts Blood Pressure Development of a new product for controlling most forms of high blood pressure was announced today bv the Pitman-Moore Co. drug firm. Trade-named Veralba, the product has been anproved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration nd has been used on "hundreds" of clinic patients, the company said.

When the product, a derivative of a European plant called veratrum album (or white hellebore), will be marketed has not been determined. The company announcement merely said it would "soon" be released nationally. Pitman-Moore spokesmen emphasized that "Veralba is not a panacea for all types of hypertension under all conditions and that it will be available only by prescription while the patient is under observation of his physician." The product works through its effect on the mechanisms which normally lower blood pressure by reflex action in the nerve centers of the brain. Gen. Twining to Head AF WASHINGTON The White House announced today Gen.

Hoy t. S. Vandenberg is retiring as Air Force chief of staff and will be succeeded by Gen. Nathan F. Twining.

Twining at present is Nice-chief of staff. Assuming the Senate confirms his appointment, he will step up to the top Air Force post June 30, when Vandenberg's term expires. This is the first change in the joint chiefs of staff since Mr. Eisenhower took office, and the White House gave no indication whether lt would be followed by other changes. Nominated to succeed Twining as vice-chieT of staff was Lt.

Gen. Thomas Dresser White, who would get a fourth star. Twining's appointment is for the usual two years. Secretary of Air Harold E. Talbott said he had approved Vandenberg's retirement "with leluctance." Reds' New Offer Nearer U.N.

"Parking lots, close in, would help," Harris says, but intimates the city would have to provide them. As an example, he points to unused Indianapolis Water Co.

"No more reason than why a kid should get an ice cream soda Tor half price," Harris says. Have the city give the company adequate, well-p a i loading zones, which would facilitate the skip-stop system, make for safety and speed.

On one-way streets, restrict parking on the opposite side of the street from where busses and trolleys stop, so that traffic could flow around the stopped transit vehicle. In beating the drums for a man-sized traffic department for Indianapolis. Harris makes the pertinent point: "Traffic is a greater menace and costs more than fire. A good traffic engineering department can save more than a fire department can."

'Youths Caught in Auto Chase Spfri.l to Th N-w NOBLESVILLE. Ind. An Indianapolis youth is in jail here today and a companion is in Riv-erview Hospital after their car overturned last night as they were being chased by the West-field town marshal. Marshal Robert Haskett identified the youths as David V.

Sports 40-42 Star Gazer 11 Women- features 28-31 By MAC Three men struggled and wrestled with a desperate and pretty young woman nearly half an hour last night to prevent her from leaping into White River at the Washington Street bridge. A police squad, summoned 1o the scene by the radio phone of a passing taxi, was forced to handcuff her and shackle her feet before sending her to General Hospital in an ambulance. The girl was placed under observation there and her condition was reported as good today.

The dramatic scene attracted a large crowd of spectators. The combined efforts of William Camplin, 51, a Red Cab driver; a husky truck driver and a motorist who stopped to give help were needed to keep the girl from jumping. Camplin recounted details of the event today in his apartment at 508 E. Michigan. He remarked that it was one of the two most exciting things that had happened in his 15 years of driving.

He said he picked up the girl in the 300 block of North Illinois, where she was leaning against a parked car. "Looked like she was half drunk," he said. She asked him to drive west on Washington. As they passed over the bridge she told Camplin to "stop here." He didn't want to stop on the bridge and continued driving, so his passenger yelled: "Stop, damn it! Turn around and go back." Camplin did so and she kept yelling: "Stop, stop, stop!" "I thought there was some-, thing funny about it," Camplin said. Just before he stopped at the east end of the bridge, the girl jumped out and ran about 20 yards, where she climbed to tho top of the ledge.

The driver ran after her and pulled her off. She fought desperately to free herself. ALL RACES SAME TO LASH The FBIs fleet-footed Don Lash used his car instead of his legs to overhaul a motorist. Lash, former Indiana University distance runner now attached to the local FBI office, noticed a car being driven north pn Hillside In a reckless manner yesterday. He chased the car to the 2300 block on Glen Drive and when he forced it to the curb three boys fled on foot.

However, Lash didn't chase them. He stayed with the car and took the driver into custody. The 17-year-old driver was charged with reckless driving and having no operator'! license. TRl'SXIK "Help, help," Camplin jelled to passing cars. For several minutes none stopped and then a truck pulled up.

The truck driver -Assisted Camplin, and soon they were joined by another motorist. "Let me go," she screamed, "you're hurting my arm." By this time a crowd had gathered. Camplin yelled to a passing Red Cab and told the driver to call police over his radio phone. The three men at last threw the struggling girl to the ground and held her there until the police squad arrived. After an ambulance took her away Camplin looked in his cab.

The' girl had left her shoes, a pink jacket and a purse. The other exciting thing that happened to Camplin in his cab driving career was on New Year's Eve about eight years ago when three celebrating passengers slashed him severely with knives. Clubs Keep Gambling Equipment Gambling equipment found in 51 private clubs with liquor permits is either still there or has been disposed of by club offi cials, it was revealed today. Joseph B. Kyle, Gary, chairman of the State Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and Homer Gehrett, state excise police chief whose men found the equipment, told The News "none of it (the gaming equipment) has been picked up." They gave no reason.

But Indiana State Police Capt. John J. Barton, chief of detectives, said state excise police have no authority to pick up the equipment. Barton said that, as far as he knew, it was all still there. He said some of the clubs probably have disposed of it by now.

Dan Cravens, Franklin, ABC commissioner, also said excise police cannot pick up gambling equipment. The 51 clubs have been cited to appear before the ABC to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. Those hearings begin later this month. Barton was asked why the state police did not pick up tho equipment, and he replied, "If it's called to our attention, we'll investigate." Kyle also said hearings will conclude today in the cases of 13 excise police fired, then reinstated two weeks ago. The reinstatement came on orders of Governor George N.

Craig, who denied the men had been fired after Kyle told newsmen they were fired. Results of the hearings will be announced Monday, Kyle said. Cravens announced that the commission did not renew the wholesale beer permit of Arthur H. Redderson, Woodbum, who had done business as Maumee Products. Cravens said he "wasn't a good operator." The commission is holding up, for investigation, the permit of Morgan County Beverages, at Martlns-ille.

JEKYLL, HYDE-AND JANE Jane Greer, recently named the "actress with the most beautiful face," will present the Borg-Warner trophy to the 500-Mile winner Memorial Day. The lucky driver also will get a kiss from the Hollywood beauty, who was named by the Motion Picture Photographers Association as "having the most beautiful face in a land of plenty." Miss Greer apparently is a favorite with motion picture photographers. They named her "sweater girl of the year" in 1949, succeeding Marie Wilson.

Swimming Tot's Death Probed Br 1 nllrd Pre. MIAMI, started a full-scale investigation today into the unexpected death of flaxen-haired Kathy Totigay, a 5-year-old "aquatot" who swam 5 miles in the Mississippi River when she was only 23 months old. Kathy, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Russell Tongay, was stricken with convulsions shortly alter she completed her regu- (Picture on Page 22) lar swimming session at a Miami Beach cabana club and died last night. An autopsy was completed this morning. Kathy was the second of three Tongay children to die under unusual circumstances. Following the death of Russell Tongay in 1945 at the age of 18 months an autopsy disclosed he died of a cerebral hemorrhage and chronic pancreatitis after similar convulsions.

A coroner's jury decided then that there was not sufficient evidence to place any charges against the father, ai ex-Coast Guardsman and swimming instructor. The father has been criticized for his handling of the children's swimming careers. He planned for them to swim the cold English Channel two years sgo, but the English and French governments prevented it. PANMUNJOM The Com munists today offered a new compromise plan to break the Korean truce deadlock, bowing to Allied insistence that no pris- oners of war who refuse to go home be taken out of Korea. The Allies immediately asked time for study.

The eight-point Red plan also proposed a five-nation neutral commission as caretaker for 48,500 Red prisoners who refuse i to go back to Communism. Both ides previously have suggested one nation for that job. The new proposal is a reversal of the Reds' earlier de- Details of Red Tlan, Page 4 mand that these prisoners be ent bodily to the neutral country. Even though the Reds made It clear the Allies must accept all or nothing, this appeared to be the first major break since the truce talks reopened April '26 in an effort to agree on exchange of prisoners, last major barrier to an armistice. Lt.

Gen. William K. Harrison, thief Allied delegate, said: "This is an important proposal that merits careful and considerable thought." The next meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday (9 p.m. tomorrow, CDT).

Harrison gave no clue as to official U.N. reaction. He said any comment he might make would be premature. Washington took the same attitude. But the new plan appeared at first reading to approach the Allied views more closely than previous Communist proposals.
