Senators Propose
Russian ‘Freeze’
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., <^) ]
•—Sen. Knowland E-Calif, and Sen.
Humphrey D-Minn yesterday ad
vocated U. N. diplomatic and
economic measures against the
Soviet Union if all other stepsi fail
to end Soviet intervention in Hun
gary.
The two senators, both members
of the U. S. delegation to the
United Nations, stated their views
at a luncheon of the U. N. Cor
respondents Assn. Both stressed
that they were speaking for them
selves only and not for the dele
gation.
A short time later Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Vassily Kuznet
sov blasted the United States in
the U. N.’s 16-nation Steering Com
mittee for alleged subversive ac
tivities in the satellite countries.
The Soviet delegation appeared
before the committee to seek sup
port for a full General Assembly

airing of the Eussian charges
against the United States.
Knowland, Eepublican leader in
the Senate, declared at the lunch
eon that the whole fabric of peace
was endangered by the Soviet Un
ion’s refusal to comply with U. N.
resolutions calling for withdrawal
of its forces from Hungary and
for the entry of U. N. observers.
He expressed hope that the
Kremlin might yet abide by the
decisi|>ns once they learn from
their diplomats around the world
“the adverse effect” their position
is producing.
Humphrey proposed that the
U. N. Assembly should first ask
U. N. Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold to go to Moscow to seek
the withdrawal of Soviet forces.
This, he said, might be more use
ful than having him go to Bud
apest.

“Let’s stop and get a couple
of beers.”
This might seem like a good
suggestion but it can turn into
Famous Last Words” for the
Aggie suggesting it.
After two weeks of quizzes and
anticipation it’s natural for some
Aggies to want to quench their
thirsts with some “liquid relaxa
tion.”
Aggies, statistics show it’s bet
ter to stay thirsty or drink plain
water.
Here’s some statistics that sup
port the “plain water” theory.
In 1955, 37 per cent of all fatal
accidents in Texas involved drivers
who had been drinking.
Eeports from 20 states show that
22 per cent of drivers involved in
fatal accidents had been drinknig.
Drinking drivers were involved in
seven per cent of urban fatal ac
cidents across the nation. Eight
per cent of the total rural acci
dents involved drunken drivers.
Speed and drunken driving have
united to kill more drivers than
any other causes.
Driving too fast killed 62 per
cent of Texas drivers involved in
traffic accidents in 1955. Only 18
per cent of the total for 1955
were non-fatal speeding accidents.
Col. Homer Garrison Jr., di
rector of the Texas Department
Council Officers’
Terms Expire
of Public Safety, says that drink
ing drivers and speeders again
will be the biggest problems dur
ing the coming holidays.
Those Aggies who can’t keep
from drinking on the road may
have some help from the Texas
Highway Patrol.
Garrison says that all available
units of the Highway Patrol will
be put into service during the holi
day in an effort to slice down the
prediction of 25 highway deaths
during the period.
Legal persuasion for temperance
on the highways can be quite
severe.
DWI first offenders may be
stuck with a fine of from $50 to
$100 and court costs, six months
driver’s license supension or three
days to two years in jail or all of
these combined.
Offenses after this may carry
fines of from $100 to $5,000 and

Brazos Drivers
Set Death Record
Civilian Council President, Sam
Zuckero, and vice-president Fred
die Eyan ended their terms of of
fice last night in the Council’s
meeting in the Press Club Library,
YMCA.
Both Zuckero and Eyan will
graduate in January and they are
stepping down so that the Council
can elect officers to fill their po
sitions.
The Council will hold an election
at the next meeting to fill the va
cancies.
Zuckero’s position on the Coun
cil will be filled by the man who
came in second in the last election
for senior representative.
Eyan’s successor will be named
by the College View Council.
Brazos County Drivers have set
a new record in 1956.
The record is not one to boast
about. Yet the record may be push
ed even higher during the remain
ing days before 1957.
The record—is 15 persons killed
in traffic accidents outside of city
limits in Brazos County, accord
ing to records compiled by the Bra
zos County sub-station for Texas
Department of Public Safety.
Highway patrolman O. L. Luth
er says this is four more deat h s
in out-of-city accident than last
year.
Eleven persons were killed in
traffic accidents in Brazos County
last year.
Drinking, speed and improper
passing were the primary causes
of these accidents, Luther says.
court costs, jail sentences of from
10 days to two years or penitentiary
sentence not to exceed five years.
The judge may combine any of
these penalties.
Help of this kind shouldn’t be
necessary if Aggies realize how
alcohol may affect a driver’s
reflexes.
A normal driver’s reflexes re
act to a situation in three-quarters
of a second. Thus a car has
traveled 66 feet before reflexes be
gan to act when the car is travel
ing at 60 miles per hour.
Another three quarters of a
second is required for a person
who has had a “few” drinks to
react to the situation. In this case
the car would travel 132 feet be
fore reflexes began to act when
the car is traveling at 60 miles
per hour.
Add to these distances the space
it takes to stop a car at this speed
and at higher speeds and it will
equal death or serious injury.
The odds are against getting
home without a wreck if you stop
for those beers, Aggies.
Why miss all the fun of the holi
days in a cold grave ? Keep away
from alcohol on the trip home and
if you want to drink you’ll have
plenty of time after you get there.
Riots Sweeping
Through Poland
WAESAW, </P>— A wave of an
gry demonstrations and unrest
was reported sweeping Poland last
night.
Unconfirmed reports circulating
in Warsaw said demonstrators at
tacked a Soviet supply train in
central Poland and burned down a
Soviet officer’s house at Lignica,
the main Soviet base near the
frontier with Germany.
Miners were reported striking at
Szombierki in the Silesian coal
basin. They reportedly were pro
testing Hungarian Premier Janos
Radar’s dissolution of workers
councils and demanding an end to
Soviet intervention.
A similar strike threat was is
sued by 30,000 workers of the Ce-
gielski steel works at Poznan. This
plant formerly was known as Zispo
and its workers were the core of
the Poznan “bread and freedom
riots” last June.
The reported attack on the Sov
iet supply train was placed at Kut-
no, an important rail junction be
tween Warsaw and Poznan
