COLUMBUS DAILY TELEGRAM. COLUMBUS NEBRASKE TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1952 TWO THE Reflector Big Help To Driver By HARMAN W. NICHOLS WASHINGTON (P) The nightmare of many motorists is the thought of hitting a tike on a bike. the daytime you can see the kids, but at night the danger is multiplied. Perhaps better reflectors on the hind end of bicycles might save same lives, but boys will be boys and ride along in the dark.

A. R. Lauer, director of the Iowa State College driving research laboratory Ames, something to say on those subject of night driving in particular and youngsters on bikes in general. "Be Careful" The substance of his remarks be before scientists convening here careful." highway, That, he said, goes for chasing a bike or running too close to the car ahead. "Night-time motorists can 'see' another car or even a bicycle outlined with reflective sheeting 70 per cent faster than one that is non-reflectorized." Lauer, who has spent a year of research on the subject, says that a great percentage of accidents at night come from rear- TO collisions.

Lauer conducted 2,520 tests in the study of the effect of speed on judgment of distance between moving vehicles on roads at night. He said that the only fatal accident that has occurred in the first 30,000,000 vehicle-miles on the New Jersey turnpike (called the "safest in the was due to a car colliding with the rear end of a tractor-trailer which was moving off the shoulder of highway onto the road. It happened at night. "Trucking companies which have reflectorized the rear-end of their report they virtually eliminated such Lauer said. More Stopping Space The safety expert says that his studies show that when a driver approaches a stalled truck at 50 miles an hour he will see it a full second quicker if the truck a bright reflector at the rear.

Thus, the driver has about 73 more feet of "stopping space." That much margin could prevent a lot of accidents. The stuff that is used in the newest reflectorized rear-ending is called "scotchlite" sheeting and fabric. applied to the rear of a motor vehicle it outlines the shape of the car. Some truck companies have lessened the hazards of night driving by commercialism. Like placing the company ad on the back of their trucks.

A Philadelphia eye-specialist also appeared before the highway scientists. Dr. Robert H. Peckham of the Temple University School of Medicine advocated the use of sunglasses for daytime driving. If you don't, he said, you'd better cut down your night driving speed by 10 to miles an hour.

The glare of the sun somehow cuts down on the normal night vision, he said. Church Members Oppose Racing MEMPHIS, Jan. 22 (LP) -Church members of nine denominations prayed in relays through the night for defeat at the polls today of a move to establish track. across-the-river horse' racing ale "We're here to pray to the greatest election judge of all," J.

Dwight D. Eisenhower's response se to an interesting question raised Sen. Robert A. Taft was question was whether the general would support the senator for president if the senator won the republican nomination this year. Taft already was on record.

He told NBC's Meet the Press television question panel that if Ike were nominated he would support him. Then Taft inquired of his questioners whether he would have the General's support if the positions were reversed. The United Press asked Eisenhower's headquarters in suburban Paris. But if the General has made up his mind, he is not yet ready to announce his plan of action after the republican national convention. The response was: No comment, Critical of HST After his retirement as chief of staff and before his return to military command of allied forces in Europe, Eisenhower sketched in general outline his political creed in series of speeches.

"These were sharply critical of Truman administration domestic policies, especially free spending and what the General feared were socialistic encroachments no private liberty and enterprise. There were few details in the Eisenhower platform as outlined in speeches during his presidency of Columbia University. But the general pattern was opposition to much of Mr. Truman stood for at home and support of just about all the President stood for in foreign policy. Since returning to Europe, the general's position on questions other than mutual defense and foreign spending have come to the public second handed, if at all.

"Phoney" A question which bothers some of his managers is whether that will satisfy the American people. There are recurrent reports that the general will return to make a couple of speeches or to use a congressional committee as a sounding board. His headquarters spokesmen recently told the United Press these reports were "as phoney as a three dollar bill." But the pressure for personal appearances, evidently strategists is increasing. hope to capitalize Ike's political isolation. Some dirty cracks may be expected from the Taft camp now about persons available for the republican presidential nomination who are not ready to endorse the party's candidate if they lose.

The American GI and his UN companions in the line have been another disappointment to the reds. Great Army No one wants to be the last man to die in any And the American is no exception. But a reluctance to die has not affected the fighting qualities of the Eighth army in Korea. This correspondent returned to the United States last October after nearly a year of reporting the war from Korea and Japan. I can report that the Eighth the finest small a army in the world with a high morale that has been untouched by the worst the reds could do.

Many of the men in the line have damned the so-called peace talks from the beginning, saying, "let's go ahead and finish the job." Today, the fighting men seldom think of or mention the negotiations dragging on and on at Panmunjom. The last few weeks have seen a new tactic in the communist war of nerves, and probably the cruelest they yet undertaken. In November the communists announced the names of 3,198 American prisoners of war they claimed to hold.

Another Trick It now appears evident that lication of the list, whether accurate or not, was another communist trick and that communist objective remains the same- to gain across the conference table the victory they could not gain by force of arms. The communists continue to demand the right to construct new military airfields in North Korea -fields from which their jets and bombers could strike force and without warning in the midst of a so-called truce. And the reds say that in any exchange of prisoners, all prisoners taken by the UN must be returned to them, regardless of personal wishes. Meanwhile, the reds refuse to deal with the International Red Cross and refuse to mark their own prisoner-of-war camps which admittedly are located alongside prime military targets.

Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, the UN's chief negotiator, gives this discouraging summary: "Either (there must be) a sudden voluntary change of heart on the part of the communists, or (the United Nations must apply) suffciient military power to induce a change of Services Held For Victor Anderson STROMSBURG, Jan. 22 (Special) -Funeral services were held here Friday for Victor Anderson of Stromsburg, former state sena- tor.
