He said his front wheels were just about entering the inter section and testified the approach ing machine struck his car behind the left bumper. He said Schreiner had ample space to turn his car and avoid an accident. Schreiner testified he saw the Wilbur car approaching from the side road and believed it would be brought to a halt.

Instead, he said, it continued on and he swerved his car to avoid a collision. Trooper Contradicts Testimony Motor Patrolman T. P.

County Rep. Allen, Greensburg, Accuses Predecessor Of Being Key Man WASHINGTON, March 29 UP) A House appropriations sub committee disclosed today charges of Rep. Robert G. Allen, Democrat of Greensburg, that William Berlin, clerk of the courts of West moreland county. had a control ling alliance with the WPA there and that WPA personnel, time and equipment "were used strictly for political purposes." Berlin is Allen's predecessor in congress and Allen is a former local WPA administrator.

Allen's testimony appeared in a transcript of hearings before the committee which recommended the $100,000,000 relief bill today. He showed the committee a map which he said the WPA staff made to show the voting precincts in his district. Charges Berlin Rales Jobs Allen further asserted that every person seeking a WPA administrative Job in the county had to present a recommendation slip signed by Berlin; that the slips were prepared on WPA paper and equipment by WPA personnel: that WPA stenographers, during the day and after hours, typed 14.000 cards showing every registered relief case in West moreland, Armstrong, and Indiana county the relief cases were checked for political affiliation a month before the last November's election and Berlin "recommended to the WPA that certain people be hired:" that WPA supervisors sold 2.800 tickets to WPA workers for a Democratic picnic at last summer. He showed the committee cancelled checks totalling $2,800. He said the checks for the picnic tickets were sent to Waller Miller, in Harrisburg, described by Allen as "a highly paid WPA official." He named a "Mr.

House" as the man who recommended all persons from Armstrong county for WPA administrative jobs, a similar practice existed in Indiana county, Allen said, but he did not know the name of the man who made the recommendations. "The purpose of the map," Allen told the committee, "is to allocate taxes one of their major financial the voting precincts. It was turned burdens, I would like to know how over to the clerk of courts in West the housing program is going to moreland couny for his use, so make taxes lower. Would you that he could place cars and work kindly publish this in your open ers in each of these precincts, as forum, so the of the orig outlined, on election day." inal article will explain this point. Many who read the article seem to doubt it.

WOMELSDORF, PA. Quiz Col. Harrington The committee subsequently questioned F. C. Harrington.

WPA administrator, who said he was not aware of Allen's charges. "Assuming," said Colonel "that these things happened, I can only say that I regard it as a local instance which might occur in a large organization of this character.

When You Go to Sleep It's a Long Process NEW YORK Going to sleep, said Prof. Joshua Rosett today, is a complicated process consisting of five separate stages including one where building castles in the air is routine stuff. In the first step, said the Columbia University neurologist, thought becomes active, and particular occurrences of the day or of days past are subjectively re experienced and correlated with other experiences. Then come periods characterized by imagery, hallucination and startling movements, before you get what you're after complete relaxation.

How do you wake up? By merely reversing the order of the going to sleep steps, says Professor Rosett. Because of expansion and contraction of iron and steel in the chassis, there is a difference of more than an eighth of an inch between the length of an automobile on a hot summer day and on a cold winter day.
