Neither figure represented a record, nor did the traffic fatalities for the 102-hour period between 6 p.m. Wednesday and midnight Sunday (local time) come up to the National Safety Councils preholiday estimate of 590. Bloody as the slaughter on the streets and highways was, it did not equal the 555 killed during a similar Christmas week end in 1936. The all-time record for all accidental deaths during a four day Christmas holiday period, 789, was set last year. Safety Council statistics for the first 11 months of 1952 showed the traffic accident rate was 102 every 25 hours.

This, however, included victims who died later of injuries. (Continued from Page 1) of the American Meat Institute. Also, D. W.

For the United States it will provide important forward positions for the big bombers that would be needed in any war with Russia. It also will provide important naval bases. The negotiations have had their ticklish moments, brought on by a number of factors Swanton Opposed To Farm Subsidies Saturday afternoon being an off the schedule one, many of the Wisconsin official party made a jaunt out to Santa Anita race track.

It is only a 20-minute drive through a swank residential area to Arcadia. The track is the finest have ever seen and the veddy veddy fancy Turf Club where we had a box was terrific. The flowers, there must have been at least 50 huge beds of them, were a riot of color and the background of the mountains made a great setting. Most of the Wisconsin party met Postoffice New Garage Opened Snubs Plea, Dives Plane To Death Urge Copper Union Oust Red Chiefs a flock of the film stars, among Officer Shot in Womans Bedroom The new $140,000 garage of the Madison Postoffice was officially opened Sunday. Taking part in the dedication ceremonies were Hugh D.

R. Riley, acting Madison postmaster; Frank Knapp, postal inspector of the Madison area; Irving Navs, Milwaukee superintendent of motor vehicle service, and Sam Podraas, architect and builder. The garage will house 58 post-office vehicles. Milo K. Swanton, named Sunday to President-elect Eisenhowers new 14-man agricultural advisory committee, says he is opposed to subsidies and price ceilings.

I dont think labor, agriculture or industry, for that matter, have the right to ask the government for a guarantee of their security, he said after his appointment was announced. Swanton said the government should aid in stabilizing the economy and called for. intelligent production which he defined as efficient production. He said he presumed he was selected because of his association with the dairy industry. A Republican diary fanner, he has for 16 years been executive secretary of the Wisconsin Council of Agriculture Co-operatives a federation of some 90 agricultural associations including milk co-ops and farm supply purchasing groups.

Swanton served on the Wiscon sin Farmers for Eisenhower Committee and on the Wisconsin Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon Committee. He said he would go to Wash ington for the committees first session Jan. 6-7. They have included opposition from the British and French, neither of whom have any love for the government of Francisco Franco. They also have included the Spania rds extreme sensitivity against anything which might imply loss of any of their national independence.

The agreements have been reached not so much through mutual regard as through hard-headed necessity so much so that not even an unguarded remark by President Truman that he had never had ony particular affection for Franco could upset them. Franco Spain has a hearty dislike for the Reds. It also needs money. We need the bases. The negotiators took it from there.

Undoubtedly lending urgency to the negotiations was a disappointment both over French rearmament efforts and French political instability, as well as recent upheavals in French Morocco where our present biggest bomber airfields are located. Prof. Sievers Dies DES MOINES, (UP) A Des Moines policeman was in critical condition today after being found shot in the head in the bedroom of a woman police telephone operator. Patrolman Kenneth Lutz, 30, divorced father of two children, was found Saturday night, partly undressed, near the bed of Patricia Newman, 37, whp operates the police switchboard, police said. Miss Newman, who was released after questioning, told police he shot himself.

She said they had not quarreled. She said she and Lutz were married April 18 at La Crosse, Wis. Police said that Lutz had been shot with a German Luger pistol an hour before Miss Newman called them. SWEETWATER, Tex. (UP) A wealthy young rancher horified ground observers for three hours Sunday with his suicide plans, then put his plane into a screaming dive because if I come down.

He said in its 1953-55 budget the University indicated it had a free balance in the fund of but had failed to point out it had previously set aside of the total fund before indicating the surplus.

Actually the surplus should have been plus the $1,283,299 which had been set aside, he declared. Under the described method of reporting to the Legis lature, Keliher said, the University eould obviously have elected to retain an even greater total of reserves, and thus show a corresponding smaller free balance available to finance operations of the ensuing bien nium. Kelinhers report went on: In connection with the balances retained by the University, it an pears that some question mirht be raised concerning the practice of reserving amounts for remodeling and building improvements when appropriations for like purposes are being requested of the Legislature. Keliher said that from July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1951, the University had collected $1,981,147 more than it had estimated and of this amount $1,653,863 was in unused salary and wage allocations. Keliher pointed out that while legislative appropriations for salaries and wages are used up, large amounts in the revolving fund for this purpose are permitted to lapse so the University could control such funds.

It is highly significant for it demonstrates the Universitys determination to retain balances in the revolving fund which is under its control, Keliher said. Information provided In the foregoing discussions the Legislature may wish to consider improvements in the present statutory arrangements under which operations of the University are financed. Prof. Fred J. Sievers, 73, nationally known agronomist at Massachusetts agricultural centers, who was bom in North Milwaukee and received his bachelor and masters -degrees from the University of Wisconsin, died Sunday at his home in Amherst, Mass.

(Continued from Page 1) today with what it called the unfounded, undocumented, and foolish charge that members of our union permit others to call strikes for them and with the idotic claim that they have gone out on strike in order to disrupt the nations Korean war effort. The union issued a statement in connection with the publication of a Senate subcommittee on internal security report, which was based on hearings involving the union last October in Salt Lake City. The statement was signed by the unions four international officers; President John Clark, Vice-Presidents Orville Larson and Charles Wilson, and Secretary-Treasurer M.

E. Travis. The union leaders said: We note that in releasing his so-called report. Sen. McCarran (D-Nev.) calls particular attention to the testimony of the discredited Harvey Matuson.

It is now less than a month since Matuson was nailed as a deliberate perjurer in New York Federal Court by Will Harrison, prominent New Mexico newspaperman and radio commentator. Matuson testified at the Salt Lake City shearing that the mine-mill union strikes were called to hamper the Korean war effort. Since Sen. McCarran now sees fit to repeat the Matuson calumnies, the union statement said, we call attention to two simple facts. Suicide usually is more common in hot weather, than in cold.

Use the WANT-ADS for Results FORD The U. agreements are said to include: A U. S. share in at least four major air bases located at Madrid, Seville, Leon and Albacete. These would be geared to handle heavy bombers with expert atomic crews.

Perhaps six additional airfields will be conditioned to permit Spaniards to pilot hundreds of interceptors. Naval bases open to the U. S. would be the Atlantic port of Cadiz and the Mediterranean base of Cartagena. Other subsidiary ports along the Northern coast and Mediterranean would attend to refuelling, anchorage rights and repairs.

In return, the Spanish Army will je equipped with modem gear and trained to use the latest weapons. Both road and rail communications leading to the sectors involving the air and sea bases in the agreement will be modernized. The Pyrenees frontier will be fortified, turning it into Europes main second defense line. them Roy Rogers, Harry James, Betty Grable, Dennis Morgan and Marion Davies.

The races were great, in fact, most of the Wisconsin party picked up a few spare shekles. That was nice of course. Saturday night after the Bergen show a lot 'of the folks made the rounds in Los Angeles.

First stop was the El Rancho and the least said about that the better. After that, things picked up First stop was the well-known Brown Derby. It was a quiet night at the eatery but it is a nifty setup with decent prices despite its reputation. After that, a stop at Lindys. A very nice night spot with Joe Venuti, the violinist, as the top attraction.

Joe came down and joined the Wisconsin group and seemed very happy to inform one and all that his bakd played at the Wisconsin Prom back in 1937. Most of the folks that served us came from the Middle West, while one bartender hailed me and let me know that his home town was Duluth. The band put on some special features for the guests, and it was great fun until they locked the doors. One and all were invited back for some special fun Monday night after the big Los Angeles Times Sports Party. Seems like a good idea at that after the swell treatment i The Wisconsin crowd swells each day.

Fran and Mrs. Hoffman showed up this morning as did Kiddo Brumm, the powerful tackle of the days of Rollie Williams and Guy Sundt. Jim Brad-er came over from nearby La-canada and had a long visit with yours truly. Jim is still a great Badger booster. May I repeat, that 90 per cent of the folks that you meet out here are sure the Badgers are going to win.

They fairly bubble with confidence over Wisconsins chances. It is a good thing that the squad doesnt hear how highly regarded they are. The Middle West sports writers are also pouring in with Sid Hartman, Joe Gordon and Dick Cullum getting in from San Francisco as did Leo Fischer and Arch Ward from Chicago. Francis Powers, drumbeater for the Shrine East-West game, also got in and had nothing but the highest praise for Ray Dvorak and the Wisconsin Band. He said the Badger tooters really put on a 10-minute show that wowed the fans.

The Band is here now and quartered at Occidental College. Folks are all excited over them and can hardly wait for the Tournament of Boses Parade and their exhibition at the game, i recorded his conversation. Coxs voice in the three-hour recording was not clear. At times only a few words in a sentence could be heard. He mumbled and repeated, slurring over the words.

The thoughts, too, often were disconnected. Tell mother and dad: you dont have to worry about me. Im going to get out of the way and leave everybody alone. A few minutes after Cox took off from Sweetwater airport, he radioed the Abilene control tower, about 40 miles east of here: Im not going to land. Im go ing to crash into the gravel pit.

He circled for more than four hours. As his gas ran low, Cox crashed his five place Cessna 170 straight down from 400 feet into the Hillsdale gravel pit. The plane hit with such force that the impact was felt at Sweetwater, four miles to the north However, the plane did not explode or burn. Pick Iowa Co. Dimes Aides First, no strike at all was called in the copper industry by this union in 1950.

Second, the 10-day strike of August, 1951, was called following a secret referendum vote of the unions entire membership In order to win a settlement which had been proposed and recommended by the U.S. government itself, speaking through Cyrus Ching, then director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Rather than trying to cut down production in the non ferrous metals industry, the statement continued, our union has advanced a long-range, many-sided program for maintaining full production and prosperity throughout the industry.

British Atomic Spy Is Freed Mt. Horeb Woman 96 Years Old WAKEFIELD. England U.R) Historys first atomic spy. Dr. Alan Nunn May, who peddled super--secret information on Western atomic research to the Russians in Montreal, Canada, during the war, has been set free, Wakefield Prison officials said today.

He had served just under-six years and eight months in prison. Nunn Mays conviction in London on May 1, 1946, was the first chapter in the grim story of the Wests betrayal. Later it linked with Nunn nay the names of Dr. Klaus Fuchs, Prof. Bruno Ponte-corvo, David Greenglass, Hairy Gold and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

May, now 41, gave samples of uranium and numerous atomic secrets to a Russion military agent in Montreal because, he said, I thought this was a contribution I could make for the safety of NEW YORK (IP) Gen. Douglas MacArthurs description of a statement by President Truman as inaccurate and misleading today stimulated anew the controversy around the generals ouster as Far East commander. MacArthur, in a statement issued here Sunday night, took issue with a reported comment by Truman that he relieved MacArthur because the general wanted to involve us in all-out war in the Far East. The United Press quoted the President as making the statement Saturday in an interview he gave to its White House correspondent. It was one of a series of year-end interviews granted by the President to White House newsmen.

In Washington Sunday night. White House Press Secretary Roger Tubby said Truman would have no comment on the MacArthur statement. Tubby said the President made his statement and is sticking by it. Courtney Whitney, retired major general and a top aide of MacArthur, gave out the latters statement. It said in full: President Trumans statement yesterday (Saturday), as reported in the press, that I wanted to involve us in an all-out war in the Far East is inaccurate and misleading.

My purpose and desire was not to extend the war but only to end it. At that time, this could have been accomplished with only a fraction of the approximately American battle casualties which have since resulted. Actually, the longer it lasts the greater the chance of its spreading. How anyone could use such a bloody drama as a means of self-glorification is quite beyond my Another ride down Los Angeles skid row hardly gave us a good impression of the town. Fights were eeen at every corner and baums were sleeping on the sidewalks and in the gutters.

Hundreds of derelicts, actually, and no one seems to care about them. The rains came tumbling down in torrents again Saturday night and the mountains are shrouded with clouds and fog today. However, the long range prediction is good weather for the game. Thats all the Badgers ask. A good playing field will help a lot.

Negative, Cox answered. The tower called Cox and asked his altitude after nothing was heard from him for three or four minutes. Critz and Hubbard arrived at Abilene. Earl wants to talk to you, the tower told Cox. What you doing up there, boy? Critz said.

This is your old buddy. Why dont you come on down and lets go to San Angelo. Im not going to San Angelo ever. If I come down Ill lose my wife, lost my friends. Ill lose everything.

Now, Billy, aint no use acting like that. You aint gonna lose nobody. Why dont you come on down? Critz was silent for a moment. Come on, tell me something, Cox urged. What you want to know, Willie? Where am I going to land? Cant you land here at the Abilene airport? You know darn well where Im gonna land.

Now, Willie, Critz said. It aint gonna do any good to do that. Come on down we can go some place and have a good time today. If I come down Ill lose my wife, lose my friends. Ill lose everything, Cox repeated.

Hubbard spoke: Willie, if you come on down and land and taxi up to the ramp, Earl and I will be the only ones to come out to the airplane. Cant do that. Ill see you boys going to Sweetwater, Cox answered. Hey, Willie, how about landing at Tye (eight miles west of Abilene)? Critz suggested. Well meet you in Tye how about is? If you all gonna watch me land you better come on over.

If you had done what I did what would you do? You wouldnt land. Id land it over there (at Tye) Hubbard urged. Youll see me over at the gravel pit. i MT. HOREB, Wis.

LA CROSSE (tf A fire that raged for more than two hours Sunday reduced the 43-year-old-Wisconsin Theater in downtown La Crosse to a battered -shell.

The fire travelled from the rear of the theater to the front. Shortly after the blaze began, the theaters rear wall collapsed. Firemen ripped down the side walls which were tottering. All of the citys fire fighting equipment was called out to control the blaze. Two firemen were overcome by smoke and were hospitalized.

Damage was estimated unofficially at more than $100,000. The theater was build in 2909 and was first known as the Majestic. It was converted from a vaudeville theater into a motion picture house reeently and was It was not made clear whether the selfglorification remark was aimed at Truman or was intended by MacArthur to point up his own position in the controversy. MacArthur, now chairman of the board of Remington Rand, Ic, was fired by Truman April 11, 1951.
