Letters promising fullest co-operation flooded in upon Henry T. Ewald, director of publicity for the campaign. These messages voiced agreement with the Council's program to supplement the sporadic, emotional, short-lived drives of the past with continuous twelve-month educational movements. The Grand Rapids Safety Council notified Ewald thnt it had arranged for a series of 10 full-page safety stories on various tvpes of accidents. These will be published once a week by a Grand Rapids newspaper.

I'etoskey Joint Drive Praising the movement and agreeing to open his columns to nafety educational material, Arthur M.

Others to receive fines or sentences at the hands of Judge Calender were: Guy Mcintosh, 24, of 204 Lenox reckless driving, 15 days in the House of Corrections, and Arthur M. Davis, 26, of 1316 Belvedere $20 fine for driving 60 miles an hour at Charlevoix and McClellan Aves. At the same time, Edward Gro-cholski, acting traffic referee sitting in place of Traffic Judge Thomas J. Maher, carried out the same policy of severity.

Given Choice of Sentences Five persons found guilty of reckless driving by him were given their choice of fines or imprisonment. They were: Lee Beaird, 24, of 2000 Grand River $20 or five days; Charles Newberry, 43, of 45 Sibley $50 or 10 days; Samuel Pecherer, 18, of 2266 Clements $20 or 15 days; Willard Davenport, of 1339 W.

The case of Harry Breadon, charged with a misdemeanor in connection with injuries to Camiel Vandeberghe, of 11864 Elmdale which has been up 14 times since the accident 16 months ago, Saturday appeared due for an airing. Vandeberghe was injured June 22, 1934, by a man who drove away after the accident without stopping.

William Rcyer, a witness, chased the car four miles, he said, without overtaking it. He got the license plate numbers, however, and turned them over to the police, resulting in Breadon's On Trial Three Time Since then Breadon has been tried in connectibn with the crash three times on different counts. Capt. Leonard A. Blesser, of the Accident Investigation Bureau, Saturday ordered Detective Walter Detloff to take up the case with Assistant Prosecutor Clifford Bird, in charge of traffic prosecution.

Bird, after conferring with Detloff, ordered the file in the case. There was nothing about it in the prosecutor's index, he said. Judge Maher pointed out that there had already been three trials in the case and that a year and a half was not long for them. "There have been very brief Intervals between the trials," he said. Police Traffic Division records showed Saturday that a total of 586 violation tickets had been issued during the twenty-four-hour period ended Saturday morning, a falling off of 01 from the preceding day's record.

According to Inspector Edward Mitte, the record "is excellent for a Friday." Only 84 of the tickets, Mitte said, were for speeders as compared with 105 during the preceding 24 hours. Plans for a traffic survey in the interests of safety are rapidly forming, with private interests combining with state and Federal agencies to make the streets safe for drivers os well has pedestrians. A total of $906,000 has been made available in Washington for tne purpose of turning Michigan Into a traffic laboratory to set up model regulations for other states. ATHENS Greece will choose between a monarchy and its young republic Sunday in plebiscite already generally conceded to mean a restoration of former King George II. Some secretly labelled the balloting a "terrific farce" as Royalists dinqed last minute injunctions into, the ears of voters.

Regent George Kondylis, the one-time Republican who turned out to be the most aggressive leader for the Royalists, prepared a manifesto to spread before the voters saying, "reactionary and chaotic forces which for 20 years have been sapping the national life, will be crushed." The faith with which Royalists approached the plebiscite was indicated in an official announcement. King will be here in 15 days," said Regent Kondylis. George is now in England. A Split Over Sanctions CANBERRA, Australia An Australian cabinet crisis arose Saturday over the question of application of League of Nations sanctions against Italy. Prime Minister Joseph Aloysius Lyons announced that he has asked William Morris Hughes, vice president of the Executive JOSEPH A.

LYONS Council, to resign because of his apparent opposition to the Government's policy of supporting sanctions. Hughes' views were set forth In his book, "Australia and War Today," in which he urged that Australia was not in a military position to resist any attack from Italy in retaliation for enforcement of sanctions, and that Great Britain would be too busy to protect Australia. A passage In Hughes book said, "Economic sanctions are either an empty gesture or mean war." It was generally considered possible that Hughes miEht refuse to i re i i iitfu'uMiiitf j' i --V Surfboard Casualty HONOLULU. T. H.

A Father Speaks LENINGRAD Ivan Pavloff, celebrated Russian physiologist, urged that married people with hereditary diseases voluntarily renounce the right to have children. Pavlof f's recommendations were set forth in a published Interview following the burial of his son Sevelod.

The son, who was secretary to his father, died of cancer, said by the official press to be hereditary in the Pavloff family. The physiologist attacked the "Fascist method of compulsory sterilization." At the funeral of his son, Pavloff described the progress of research work toward means of checking hereditary disease. Stahlhelm Doom Nov 9 BERLIN Belief that Relchs-fuehrer Hitler will end the life of the Steel Helmet veterans' Organization before Nov. 9, was expressed by spokesmen of the once proud society. They said that the initiative was now up to Hitler, who would have difficulty making a decision.

The Stahlhelm, which In its heyday numbered about 1,500,000 men, dominated the national scene until several months ago, when Hitler's subleaders suhjected the veterans' unit to harrying indignities, Ernst Thaelmann, German Communist leader who has been in jail ever sines the fire that destroyed the Reichstag, will be brought to trial about the middle of this month. The first sentence under a new law providing punishment for of-denses against the national flag was imposed upon a Catholic priest named Albert Coppenrath. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 50 marks for displaying a church flag instead of the Swastika emblem over Matthias Church, Berlin.

II. GARLICK SON JEWELERS 1126 GRISWOLD ST. ELECT David J. (Davy) ritual i W'. "A Man you all know" COUNCILMAN Ex-Tiger Outfielder Businessman ENDORSED BY ALL LEADING CIVIC AND FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS in Other Cities Jurists Will Impose Like Penalties Continued from Page One by one of us will be exactly like punishments imposed by the other.

"We will follow a steady, even policy of enforcement which we hope will make the Traffic Bench respected as an Impartial, fair tribunal. "All sentences will be imposed sincerely, and will mean what they say. If one of us should change the terms of a sentence later, that change will go openly into the public record. Will Visit Other Cities Judge Elect ilaher announced that he would go to Milwaukee Sunday to make a study of the traffic record of that city, to learn what the Detroit Court might do toward increasing public observance of the traffic laws. Murphy will make a similar investigating trip to Philadelphia, which also has an admirable law enforcement record.

Maher and Murphy revealed they are considering a revision of the present schedule of violation ticket fines in an effort to do away with the practice of "adjusting'' the printed penalties downward in almost all cases. They agreed that the present schedule of penalties printed on violations tickets bears too heavily on offenders with minimum incomes and in justice must be curtailed to fit. But they are impressed with the argument that wholesale reductions in the scheduled penalties, granted to any and all violators on application, induces a lessening in public respect for the law. Details to Be Decided Both Judges elect agreed Saturday that they were not yet ready to announce details of the standards of severity they will enforce against serious offenders. "We will inform the public fully before we take office," Maher said, "but we have not yet made up our minds on all the points.

Right now we think the most important thing we can do is to agree between ourselves. We are going to follow a Joint policy, and not enforce two individual policies." In general, the Judges-elect Indicated that traffic law penalties will be strict and Justice administered as impersonally as possible. Regarding the plan of impounding license tags, first suggested by Watkins. Maher explained: "The law gives us wide powers in imposing probation restrictions. We believe it is fully legal for the Traffic Judge to make the sur-sendcr of license plates a condition of the probation offered a violator after he has been found guilty.

"This form of punishment impresses us as likely to be effective. The police will see to it that no car is driven without a ficense tag. The practical effect of surrendering plates for six months or a year will be that the offender loses ihe use of his car for that time. "Many a man who can pay almost any kind of a fine will drive more cautiously, we hope, if he knows that he will lose the use of his car instead. On the other hand, a violator whose family might be reduced to destitution if ho should go to jail will be able to keep his employment and continue to maintain them, although seriously Inconvenienced by the loss of his personal conveyance for a time.

"An offender who has recovered the use of his machine after a period of deprivation will not recklessly and heedlessly risk the loss of it again, we think." On the question of proper speeds for city driving, it was indicated that the new judges would endeavor always to take all conditions into account. Higher speeds might well be permitted in outlying stretches of the city where they arc actually not hazardous, it was said. "Administering the traffic laws boils down to following a policy of sanity and common sense," Maher said. Murphy added: "Make it plain that the new Court intends to co-operate in every possible way with other law enforcement agencies. Wes are going to try to be practical and helpful, and to back up the efforts of police, educators and other agencies to create safer traffic conditions" Death Notices M.hf oi Nov.

Traffic officers were ordered to "hoar down" on all drivers found weaving in and out of traffic, and, If necessary, to make arrests in -ases where drivers insist in occupying the middle traffic lanes while driving slowly. "The great danger In slow driving in the middle of the street lies in'the fact that faster drivers are jnfiUeiiced either to ignore the law raising on the right or are compiled to take to the line of oncoming traffic in order to pass," pickert said. Accidents Still Numerous While the period from Wednes-hv night to late Saturday passed without any fatalities, the record was maintained at a high level. pveral persons were injured late Friday night and Saturday morn-Ins and three young Dearborn couples suffered serious Injuries in a collision in Dearborn.
