CHICAGO (IP! Rodney Dee Brodie. whose separated Siamese twin died last week, was still listed in “critical'’ condition at the University of Illinois Educational and Re search Hospital today. However, the 16-month-o.’d child has been well enough to undergo two plastic operations since the Dec. 27 surgery which separated him from his weaker brother, Roger Lee. Roger Lee died last Tuesday of complications—mainly pressure on the lower brain— arising from the separation. WASHINGTON OP I Sen. Estes Kefauver said last night he has “no plans whatsoever" to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 1956 but intended to "keep my contacts.” The Tennessee Democrat, one of those defeated for the nomination by Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson in 1952. said he “’expected to keep in close touch with Democratic leaders.” “But I have no plans for keeping together an or ganization for possible future use.” he said at an appear ance on the "Man of the Week" television program over the Colombia Broadcasting System. He said he would de vote “all my attention to Tennessee” where he will seek re-election to the senate. BIRMINGHAM. Ala. HP Mrs. Mae Griffin Bnum’s Isist words were: “We have to humble as little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” And with that message imparted to her young charges yesterday, the 69-veaf-ola Tarrant. Ala., woman dropped dead before the stunned eyes of her Sun day school class. TOLEDO, O. (IP) Police promised today to do a little more investigating before they make any more raids on “gambling halls.” Officers charged into a YWCA building here and announced to the 125 ladies assembled for a meet ing of the Young Matrons Club that “this is a pinch.” The young matrons were caught with their hands full of bills— play money issued for an evening of Reno-style games. MOSCOW (IP' The newspaper Pravda reported in dignantly today that a cow named Elsie was living beyond her means. Pravda aimed its wrath at one Yefim Gridasov, an agent of the Ministry for State Deliveries. When Grida sov was transferred from the office at Barnaul! to the one at Saratov. 3,000 kilometers away, he decided to take Elsie with him. Listing Elsie as his “sister,” the newspaper said, Gridasov arranged for the cow to make the trip in a private car aboard an express train at considerable public expense. SAN FRANCISCO HP- Gene W. Hoffman. 26. had learned a bitter lesson today: Do not use an identification card as a burglary tool. Police said Hoffman used a plastic identification card to try and jimmy an apartment door. The card tore in two, leaving the half with his picture and thumbprint on the inside. AKRON, O. (IP) Mrs. Orabellc Wiesenmiller blamed the American League baseball pennant race for her mari tal trouble today. She told a judge it all started one day! when the Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians. “I told him! that wasn’t any great’calamity,” she said, “and he got mad j and left home.” ( * i. —*‘ • i KALAMAZOO, Mich. HP) When her cat gave birth to three kittens, Louella Warner-put an ad in the paper say-I ing she would give a kitten and a $5 bill to the three most j deserving children who applied. The want ad brought such ' a turnout she spent all* day yesterday interviewing children before the last kitten found a home. “It cost sls and the price of ad,” she said, “but it was worth it.” NEW YORK HP' The second perjury trial of former government economist William Remington is expected to go to a federal jury late today. The trial resumed after a weekend recess with final arguments by prosecution and defense attorneys. Remington. 34, was charged with lying under oath five times about his alleged Communist party connections during his first trial for perjury in 1951. He was convicted in the former case but the conviction was set aside by the U.S. Court of Appeals. NEW YORK HP' Former President Harry S. Truman doesn’t think President Eisenhower's trip to Korea was “demagoguery” after all. Mr. Truman was quoted by Bry son Rash, American Broadcasting Company White House correspondent, as saying he favored Eisenhower’s trip to Korea, and “it probably did some good.” Rash said Mr. Truman made the statement 10 days ago but it was not! cleared for reltease until after Mr. Eisenhower was inaugu rated. __ State Briefs (Continued from puci me)) tard of Freeport, N.

The meter at the right indicated that the car was travelling well over the 55 mile limit when it passed the radar screen mounted on the hood of the partol car. The driver, when he found that he was not going to be arrested, readily admitted that his speed, when he passed the check point, was exactly that indicated cm the dial.

Patrol (Continued From Page One) you off so easy.” That was the way it was happen ing Saturday. A considerable num ber of disconcerted motorists were making the acquaintance of the “whammy” the device that checks the speed of passing cars. The man was actually doing 70, but the pa trolmen were clocking them a five miles lower than their actual speed NO ARRESTS The officers were not making arrests on this first day of opera tion of the device in this section. They were just checking on the ac curacy of the device before they put it into regular operation. In each case the driver who was stop ped told the officer that he had been driving at the speed indicated on the meter. An inconspicuous black box, mounted on the hood of the car at the check point is all that is visible to the motorist. It contains the scanning screen and is placed facing diagonally toward the sec j tion of highway on which the i speed of cars is to be checked. ! "We point it diagonally so that I it will cover a longer section of the I road,” Corporal Williamson ex- [ I plains. “That way the needle stays | on the mark an instant longer and j gives us a better check.” I The needle he referred to is on j a meter mounted on the dash and ■ calibrated in miles per hour. As a ‘ car enters the field scanned by the 1 screen, the needle swings to the , right marking the speed of the 1 passing vehicle. To test its accuracy, one of the patrolman drove past the check j point at varying speeds and reported I | the speed he was using over the radio. In every case the needle swung to the indicated speed. The officers, used to judging speeds of automobiles when parked . alongside the road, tried thei hand at guessing the speed of'ap-; proaching cars before they entered | the section covered by the radar and the accuracy of their estimates was confirmed by the meter. “This fellow 7 is doing about 40,” I said Williamson as a car appro- t ached from the south. As though it j had heard this the needle on the meter swung to the 40 mark. It was the same with a number of other cars, and thd» officer showed sur prising accuracy in estimating the speed by sight. CHECKS SPEEDOMETER Chief A. A. Cobb and the mem bers of the Dunn Police Department showed more than a passing in terest in the device. Both of Dunn’s Police cars ran past the screen to test its accuracy. On one of the cars, the machine agreed with the speedometer. On the other it show ed that the speedometer was five miles fast. The speedometer, which had not been checked recently was in error, the whammy Was ac curate. The instrument can also be used to check speedometers for accuracy as was proved by this experiment. The only instances in which the new device becomes confusing is when several cars pass the check point together. However, this is usually caused by a backup of traffic due to a slow driver in front and none of the cars in the group will be speeding. Although no tickets were given out Saturday, that will not be the case when the machine is put into practical operation. “Wait ’til] we get it on that Erwin highway, "remarked one officer,” that’s a 35 mile zone all the way and most of them do 50." Corporal Williamson emphasizes that the new device is not intended as a “speed trap.” He pointed out that 23 persons met their death on Harnett highways in the past year and that most of these death were caused by too much speed. “Everyone will know we are using radar,’’ he declared, “and the psychological effect will help to cut down speed and thus prevent accidents.” In proof of this nearly every car. whether going fast or not, reduced its speed as soon as thye saw the patrol car with the screen at the side of the road, Most of them, however, had already passed ! through the scanning zone.

He did not I make any ifs, ands or buts, and jno exceptions, to the pledge. | Recently, however, the Mayor said I he did not plan to run again, but left the door open for a possible ‘draf t ’ movement. Since that announcement. .Joe A. Wilkins, former councilman and mayor protein, has said he’ll be a ! candidate and will make a formal announcement later, i He issued a statement last week ! saying that the Mayor had given [ his solemn pledge and word of honor that he would not again be I a candidate if Wilkins runs. , J Should Mayor Hanna's friends and supporters persuade him to run |af ain, he’ll face the problem of hew to explain the fact that he 1 bi oke his promise not to run again, j His opponents already have made ■ it clear they’ll use that issue against ! him. I The mayor's supporters will point out. however, that the mayor d6es not want to run again but that the people wanted him. should be change him mind and enter the race. " I All the same, it will take a lot j of explaining. Already influential groups in the town are seeking to bring out an entire ticket against the three whose terms will expire and have been quietly for the past week or two gathering up material, facts, figures and records as “ammunition” for what promises to be a very, very farm election. NUMEROUS ISSUES I Seme of the issues certain to face j (them inclue: The city manager squabble: a charge that the council fired City t ! Manager Oliver O. Manning without i giving him a reason. | The firing of veteran Police Chief ! George Arthur Jackson, one of the hottest of ail Issues and one that produced two stormy mass meet ing of the citizens.

Employment of Negro policemen, breaking a long tradition here, is also certain to be an issue in the campaign. The row over the garbage cans has poured more wrath on the city administration possibly, than, any other issue. City spending will also be an is sue. A former Dunn mayor recent ly charged that the town has spent more money during the last four years than during the entire pre vious 10 years. Even the town’s growth and de velopment will figure as an issue. A Dunn contractor recently charged that new regulations adopted by the city makes it virtually impos sible for the town to grow and expand. Supporters of the present officials point out that they have done a good job despite the greatest number of obstacles possibly ever faced by another board. “It isn’t what they’ve done, but the wrangles, controversies and the way they’ve done it that’ll cause the trouble in the election,” point ed out a p-ominent Dunn citizen who says he’s going to vote for the entire board again. Taft And Other • Continued from pace onet law, now due to expire April , and reorganization plans which Mr. Eis enhower migh submit under the law. Legislation to restore ownership of submerged offshore lands to the states also might be discussed, Taft said.

These controls are expected to die by Ap ril 1, or earlier, although Congress may consider continuing them on a standby basis.
