feed In Traffic Experiments
Experiments in safer channel
ing of highway traffic through use
jbf color, tire noise and reflectivity
being conducted by Texas
bnsportation Institute research
igineers here.
Major emphasis is being placed
forewarning the driver of
hannelizing islands” that are
|ecessarily placed in the path of
le traffic stream, Neil Rowan,
search project supervisor said.
Test installations have been
lade in Houston, Bryan and Waco.
Many accidents are caused by
rivers failing to see the island in
me to maneuver around it,”
Rowan noted. “For this reason,
research has been concentrated in
delineating the island curb with
reflectors.”
The effects of color, tire noise
and reflectivity are being used in
the area immediately in front of
islands. These .effects are being
produced by reflective “button” or
markers guiding traffic around the
island- White stones that cause
tire noise when the car wheels
encroach upon the danger area in
front of the island are part of a
surface of highways in this re
search project.

Tunnel Escape
Televised By NBC
WASHINGTON 6R) — The Na
tional Broadcasting Co. said
Wednesday its decision to film a
Berlin refugee tunnel operation
after the State Department had
expressed concern about the pub
licity has been “fully justified by
events.”
“The tunnel was completed with
out any breach of security or
injury to anyone, and 59 people
escaped to freedom,” NBC said in
a statement.
“And we believe our enterprise
has been rewarded with an extra
ordinary 90-minute television docu
ment of major news significance.”
The NBC statement was issued
in New York after the State De
partment had said here that it
told two U. S. television networks
it was concerned over activities
involved in preparation of tele
vision reports on the digging of
tunnels under the Communist wall
sealing off East Berlin. The State
Department said it has learned
NBC plans to telecast the film
Oct. 31.
LAST AUGUST, a spokesman
said, the State Department learned
that Columbia Broadcasting Sys
tem representatives in Germany
“were involved in preparation of
a television report on an escape
tunnel.”
“The department expressed the
view that such activities involved
risk for the American correspond
ents and cameramen; that, by re
ducing secrecy, it enhanced the
risk .of injury, capture, or death
for would-be escapees; and that
such activities could well compli
cate the delicate Berlin problem,”
the statement said.
The State Department added
that CBS “accepted this assess
ment and promptly cooperated by
withdrawing from the tunnel un
dertaking.”
POLL
(Continued from Page 1)
were undecided.
DOES A Republican have a
chance to be elected governor of
Texas ?
“It is extremely doubtful if you
go by past state voting records,”
answered John Goff, junior history
major from Pampa.
Dale Keith, junior mechanical en
gineer from Borger, said: “I hope
so. I see no reason why Cox should
n’t be elected if this is actually a
democratic form of government.”
Chapman answered:
“Yes, there is a definite chance
that a Republican can become a
Texas governor. There will be a
local reaction and some votes
swung on the local level due to
President Kennedy’s action in the
Mississippi crisis.”
COLE stated:
“I don’t see why a Republican
couldn’t become governor of Texas.
If a Republican candidate is more
qualified than the Democratic can
didate, people shouldn’t vote for
the Democrat simply because he
is a member of the Democratic
party.”
Wilson holds this opinion:
“I don’t think a Republican has
a chance this year, but he may in
future years since the South is
swinging more to a two-party sys
tem. But it depends a lot on how
many problems the Kennedy ad
ministration has and how it solves
them.
“Also, if Kennedy is re-elected, a
Republican won’t have a chance
for awhile. Lyndon Johnson is too
strong not to be able to swing
Texas to the Democratic party. But
if Cox is elected, Johnson’s popu
larity will go down quite a lot, and
I don’t ’believe that he will even
be renominated for the vice presi
dency again.”
