S. District Judge Willis W. Ritter that it had refused to assist in an investigation of jury tampering by Denver gamblers. Judge Ritter's statement was cited by Clayton Fritchey, deputy chairman of the national democratic committee, as evidence that there is "a serious situation within the justice department." Fritchey charged in a television appearance last Sunday night that one of the reasons why Atty. Gen.

Brownell launched the controversial Harry Dexter White spy case was to divert attention from the justice department situation. A statement issued by Asst. Atty. Gen. Warren Olney III yesterday made no references to Judge Rit ter's remarks but mentioned "political discussion" on the radio and television in which it had been asserted the Denver case "had been in some way mishandled by the department of justice." "There is no substance to this assertion," Oiney said.

Fritchey said in a statement last night: "At first glance, Olney's explanation is certainly difficult to follow and does not seem responsive to the charges of Judge Ritter and Vigil." Charles Vigil, former U. S. attorney at Denver, was ousted by Brownell recently. "Sen. Langer, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said he will hold hearings in Denver next week, and I am sure all aspects of the case probably will be clarified at that time at least I hope so."

Council Asks Drivers To Point Out Bad Corners The Santa Cruz chapter of the National Safety Council today appealed to Santa Cruz motorists for assistance in finding "blind corners" in the city. "When motorists drive-- downtown to work or to shop, there is always at least one corner which bothers them," says Eddy Smythe, the president of the chapter.

"We want to do what we can as the safety council to make those corners less dangerous. "If drivers will notify the council by dropping a postcard to the Sentinel-News, the corners they mention will be surveyed 'and attempts will be made to cprrect bad spots." Smythe said the city has been divided into 20 districts for the purpose of the motorists' survey, and asked that motorists report any dangerous intersections, blind corners and the like. Smythe noted that in addition to the other "bad" spots, the council believes the parking of cars too near corners in commercial areas also may be dangerous, and suggested motorists report these hazards also. He said the postcards calling attention to dangerous districts may be mailed to the Safety Editor of the Sentinel-News. The-council will meet December 9th.

Long before that, he said, the administration will have made such progress in rooting subversives out that they no longer will be a "serious menace." Then the President laid down his own prescription for victory: Republicans should fight for the "pro gressive, dynamic program he wm lay before congress in January. Eisenhower added, in a news conference statement plainly intended to squelch intra-party dissension, that he knew his sentiments were shared "by the vast majority of my close associates both in the senate and in the house of representatives." "Because of this unity of feeling such a program will be enacted," he declared.

Trombone player Amador Perez, director of the army band, had little training by comparison, Ma yorga said, and knew little or noth ing about flutes. Furthermore, Mayorga said, he would be happy to meet Perez on the field of honor and let experts decide whether he could tweedle the flute better than Perez could woof with the trombone.
