the transaction.
E. C. Cunningham and Jack
Keys, asked the council to study
a plan for a Citizen’s Traffic Com
mission. According to Keys, who
has spent considerable time study
ing the plans, it would make Col
lege Station a safer place for both
drivers and pedestrians by means
of anonymous observers. The ob
servers would be citizens from var
ious sections of the city trained to
accurately observe traffic viola
tions.
Although the observers could
have no authority to make arrests
or take legal action, the commis
sion would work in cooperation
with the city police, reporting fre
quent violators.
Check License Number
Having the time, place and li
cense number of the violator, the
police could more easily apprehend
the offender and see that justice
is done, Keys said.
The council authorized Mayor
Langford to appoint a committee
to study the plan.
A steel shortage is stalling the
production of new concrete street
markers, so work will start imme
diately on temporary signs, the
Council was told by City Manager
Raymond Rogers.
Temporary markers will be erec
ted and present signs will be re
painted to enable the city to have
home mail delivery by the middle
of the month, he said.
Rogers told the council tempor-
Red Cross Needs
Books for Soldiers
Comic books and pocket editions
of western and mysteries are need
ed immediately for the 2nd Armor
ed Division now under orders, ac
cording to a request received from
Mr. Clifford Gibbs, Field Director
of the American National Red
Cross at Fort Hood.
Miss Betty Bolander, assistant
social director of the MSC will ac
cept the books at her office Tues
day and Wednesday. The Brazos
County Chapter of the Red Cross
will forward them to Fort Hood
before the unit departs.
ary markers, probably two by four
boards, will be placed at those in
tersections that have no signs at
present.
Budgetary plans wecce, discussed
by the council last night. Assist
ant City Secretary Ran Boswell
said the first draft of next year’s
budget should be complete in about
two weeks. When the budget is
complete the council will meet to
discuss and make necessary re
visions.
The budget should be revised
and have had a public hearing by
the first regular meeting of the
council in July, City Secretary
Nester R. McGinnis said.
Mayor Langford informed the
council that the Brazos County
Health Unit okayed the purchase
of a insecticide sprayer last Tues
day.
The machine will be used to
spray mosquito breeding places
throughout the city.
Rogers reported that grass and
weed mowing was now being done
in the College Hills area. A man
has been assigned the job of cut
ting weeds' and grass along road
ways, in ditches and in alleys, he
said.
H.M.S. Pinafore
Slated for July
“H. M. S. Pinafore will set sail
Thursday night with an underman
ned crew” says,W. M. “Bill” Tur
ner, co-director of this summer's
musical production.
The operetta, scheduled for July
10 and 11, will be presented in
The Grove.
Working with Turner on the
operetta will be C. K. Esten of the
English Department. Turner is to
direct the music and Esten is to
handle the dramatic part of the
musical.
According to Turner there are
still several parts open in the
chorus and some speaking parts.
The co-director is also looking for
some musicians to play in the or
chestra which will accompany the
production.
Anyone interested in trying out
for any of the parts should see Es
ten or Turner as soon as possible,
he said.
Two of 96 Senators Give
Blood; Johnson Included
Washington, June 12—UP)—The 96 Senators got a
chance to give some blood to the Red Cross but only two,
Kerr (D-Okla) and Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas) responded.
“They both did beautifully,” said Mrs. Hiram Bingham
at the mobile blook bank in the Senate office building.
“You know how Senators are,” said Mrs. Bingham ear
lier. She indeed knows how Senators are, since she is mar
ried to a former Senator to Connecticut.
“They’re so busy, you know, with all these awful in
vestigations going on.”
But she said business was reasonably brisk anyway.
“They send their secretaries over,” she said. And as if
to prove her point, another Red Cross lady bustled up to
say, “that made the fourth one from Senator Kem.”
Mrs. B. said Senators aren’t any different from anyone
else these days, and that the Red Cross everywhere is hav
ing trouble impressing on the public the need for blood.

Peace Talk Tishy’
Washington, June 12—(A*)—The
State Depratment put a “propa
ganda” label yesterday on Rus
sia’s latest proposal for a Japan
ese peache conference, and fore
cast the United States will turn
it down.
The proposal, submitted to U.S.
Ambassador Alan G'. Kirk in Mos
cow, calls for a conference of all
the countries which fought Japan,
in July or August.
The United States has a peace
treaty draft well advanced by di
rect negotiations with 15 other
countries. Moscow has held aloof
from these talks for three months
and has been raising objections to
the procedure.
The latest Soviet communication
is full of old stuff and propagan
da, state department press officer
Michael J. McDermatt said.
“It appears to contain nothing
new and repeats the usual propa
ganda charges against the United
States, other countries which are
cooperating in the preparation of
the Japanese treaty, and the peo
ple of Japan who have so loyally
cooperated with the Allied occupa
tion,” he said.
Other officials said Russia’s new
proposal had the apparent purpose
of delaying and if possible block
ing the treaty preparations.
Moscow urged last month that
the major powers alone draft terms
of the Pacific settlement under
conditions which would give Rus
sia and Communist China veto
power.. The U.S. rejected that.
Earlier the State Department
turned down a suggestion by Brit
ain that Red China be consulted.
Ambassador John Foster Dulles,
in charge of treaty negotiations
for the U.S., is expected back prob
ably Saturday from meetings with
British and French officials. Leav
ing London for Paris, he said some
difficulties remained to be ironed
out with Britain but voiced confi
dence they could be settled shortly.

She praised the local group for
their cooperation.

During the meeting $75 was al
located to the A&M Veterinary

Mrs. U. E. Mamey, were selected

You can tell that the baseball
managers are getting into the
swing of the midseason battle in
both leagues. Pilot of the Yankees,
Casey Stengel, voiced his opinion
of American League baseball fans
Sunday by calling them a bunch of
“rowdies.” He had reference to re
peated tossing of stones, paper,
bottles and firecrackers at parks
in Detroit and Chicago. He said
he would pull his team off the
diamond if the events occur repeat
edly.
