DETROIT. June 17 —<U.R)— The

shortage bonds, sailed ahead today
toward what may be a record car
and truck production year.
With the demand for steel slack-
ening from other major users, auto
producers now can get most all the

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 17—
<U.R>—Death of an Oklahoma City
man has boosted Oklahoma's 1949
traffic fatality toll to 226, com-
pared with 197 for the same per-
iod of last year, the state highway
patrol announced today.
Harry Wilson Carter, 35, Okla-
homa City, was injured fatally

Edgar Taylor, Woodward, driver
of the truck, was not injured.
Six deaths reported In Okla-

up at the Fairgrounds speedway
in Oklahoma City last night.

Four Mishaps
Are Reported
Seven Vehicles
Receive Damage
Seven vehicles were damaged
in four traffic mishaps reported to
the police department Thursday,
Lee Harvey, chief of police, said
today.
A 1947 model sedan driven north
on Bickford avenue by G. W. Vann,
63, of 007 North Bickford avenue,
mid a 1936 model sedan which Rev.
G. G. Curtis. 60, of 818 South Bar-
ker avenue, was backing from the
curb in the 200 block of North
Bickford collided at 1 p. m.
Damage to the left rear fender
of the Curtis automobile was esti-
mated at $15 while damage to the
right rear of the other vehicle was
approximately the same, officers
said.
Other Accidents Occur
A 1041 model sedan operated
south on Rock Island avenue by
Harry W Abies, 33. of 508 West
Cobb street, and a 1949 model
pickup truck driven by Mrs. Edith j
May Kecver, El Reno route 1. col-
lided at the intersection of Rock
Island ana Hayes street where Mrs
Keever was making a U-turn to
go back south on Rock Island. The I
mishap occurred at 1:45 p. m.
Damage to the left rear of the
Abies automobile was estimated at
*18 while damage to the front
bumper on the pickup was ap-
proximately *5. Harvey reported.
A 1945 model pickup truck owned
by Oklahoma Natural Gas com- t
pany, driven south on Grand ave- S

Demand Persists
Despite talk of depression or
recession "storm signals,” the "Big
Three" auto makers are hiking pro-
duction schedules higher each
month to meet the demand.
Output of cars and trucks will
hit its highest weekly level in 20
years this week, according to the
trade paper Automotive News. And
there is a good chance that the
hustling industry will complete
more than 3,000,000 cars and trucks
by June 30.
Steel Needs Are Met
With the pressure for steel off,
auto makers are finding that they
can liquidate their stocks of “con-
version” steel. During the pinch
they bought any and all kinds of
steel and converted It to their
needs.
"Now we can get normal and
direct delivery of all our steel needs
with the exception of cold rolled
steel in wide widths." one spokes-
man said.
With the steel shortage a thing
of the past, only serious labor
trouble or a sharp drop In demand
for cars will stein the drive toward
record production of about 6,000,Mi0
cars and trucks this year. That
would top the all-time peak output
of 5.358,420 set In 1929.
Eddie Waitkus
Is Recovering
Wounded Athlete
Has ‘Good’ Night
Military Bills
May Be Cut
Trouble Crops Up
In Senate Today
CHICAGO. June 17—<U.P.)—First-
baseman Eddie Waitkus "will be
around playing ball again before
you know It," doctors said today.
Waitkus spent a "good" night at
Ilinois Masonic hospital where he
is recovering "splendidly" from a
bullet wound suffered Tuesday
night when a lovesick girl fan he
had never met before shot him with
a .22 caliber bullet.
The girl, 19-year-old Ruth Stein-
hagen, was held without bail in
the county jail while psychiatrists
began intensive examinations to
ferret out the quirk in her mind
that caused her to plan Waitkus'
murder for two years.
Dr. Ladislaw L. Braun, a staff
physician at Illinois Masonic who
also Is chief doctor for the Chicago
Cubs, said It definitely appears
that Waitkus will be able to play
ball again.
Lungs Congested
But he would not say how soon.
It appeared, however, that Waitkus
would be out of play for the re-
mainder of the season and come
buck for spring training next year.
Surgeons were ready to open the
infield ace's chest today to remove
an acumulation of blood congesting
his lungs.
They still were waiting for his
condition to improve before re-
moving the bullet that plowed
into his right chest, tore through
the lung, and lodged In the rear
wall of his chest.
Miss Steinhagen's case was bound
over until June 30 for two reasons
when she appeared yesterday be-
fore Felony Judge Matthew D.
Hartigan.
Prosecutors wanted to make cer-
tain that Waitkus lived, and the
court wanted time for the girl to be
Paris. June 17—</P>—The Big
Four foreign m i n is t e r s have
stretched their unofficial deadline
to make another stab at reaching
accords on a snarled up Austrian
independence treaty and a German
trade pact.
Deadlocked early today after a
gruelling series of 11th hour ses-
sions, the ministers recessed until
Sunday and set still another meet-
ing for Monday. The parley had
been expected to end last night.
Informed observers said agree-
ment on the German questions
seems near. They said the issue
has boiled down to east-west dif-
ferences of principle.
Hope for some sort of agreement
was bolstered by the fact that the
ministers extended their meetings.
The German question hinges on
a trade and transport accord, over
which the ministers have been
wrangling for days.
Complicated by Strike
The situation has been compli-
cated by the four-week-old Berlin
rail strike, which is still on.
A Russian refusal to guarantee
the western powers unqualified
access to Berlin is the major point
of deadlock in the council of
foreign ministers.
Authoritative sources said Foreign
Minister Andrei Vishinsky insisted
upon attaching strings to an agree-
ment which would allow Russia to
reimpose the Berlin blockade any
time.
The west was as insistent that
any agreement reached here must
include Soviet acknowledgment of
the west’s right to be and stay
in Berlin, and guarantees that the
blockade never will be imposed
again.
Proposal Studied
Informants said the western
proposal now under study called for
Soviet acknowledgment of the right
of the west to normal use of rail-
ways, highways and canals between
Berlin and the west.
The only promise Vishinsky was
willing to make was that normal
use of such communications would >
be "facilitated for the purpose of i
promoting trade.” That was In-
terpreted to mean that any time i

Statewide Tour Scheduled For
Highway Patrol's Safety Truck
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 17—
(U.R)—The highway patrol's new
safety truck made its debut here
today and soon will begin a state-
wide tour aimed at showing Okla-
lahomans "How To Live Longer."
The *18.000 unit went on dis-
play in Oklahoma City's main
street today, after send-off cere-
monies at the state capitol last
night. Governor Roy J. Turner
clipped a silken ribbon from the
truck to send it off officially and
Paul Reed, state safety commis-
sioner, also took part in the cere-
mony.
The truck's semi-trailer is
packed with saiety exhibits in-
cluding posters, pictures and slo-
gans. Oklahomans are invited to
walk through the trailer and see
the exhibits without charge.
The truck and other materials
were donated to the patrol by
various firms and individuals.
Trooper Howard Flanagan and
Jack Clapp, state agriculture de-
partment display artist, worked
two months getting the exhibit
ready for its road trip, which
will begin after the truck's show-
ing here ends tomorrow night.

WASHINGTON, June 17 —(A5*—
Rising unemployment and swell-
ing relief rolls have led five states
to pass depression-style relief laws
and at least seven cities to revive
"work relief" projects.
But an Associated Press survey
today suggested no national emer-
mency. It found most states cer-
tain they could handle their relief
load in stride.
It indicated joblessness has
dwindled or stabilized In at least
10 states in recent weeks or months.
It showed that, almost everywhere,
unemployment Insurance has been
a “cushion" to keep most laid-off
workers off “poor relief” until they
found new jobs.
Federal Grants Proposed
President Truman has proposed
federal grants for “home relief”
to match state aid to payless fam-
ilies, on the same basis as the fed-
eral funds now used for the blind,
the aged, and dependent children.
Officials say it would cost *230,-
000.000 a year, and more in bad
times.
Non-farm employment sagged
another 280.000 in May, the bureau
of labor statistics announced today.
It stood at 43.655,000, or 961,000
below a year ago.
Strikes Cause Slump
Layoffs and strikes In the fac-
tories caused the slump. BLS said
other industrial employment in-
cluding building and transporta-
tion went up. but not nearly enough
to offset a 320,000 drop in manu-
facturing.
Five states voted special laws to
help cities and counties cope with
the relief problem—Ohio, Minne-
sota, Iowa, Kansas and Massachus-
etts. Three more are investigating
the need—Michigan. Colorado and
Idaho.
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 17—(/Pi
—Indications that members of the
present legislature may not be able
to seek any statewide office in 1950
were being checked today at the
capitol.
The barrier is a constitutional
provision barring legislators from
taking an office, during their term,
which they created or of which
they raised the salary.
Salaries of all state and county
offices were raised, effective in
January 1950, by the 22nd session.
Terms of present legislators do not
expire until November 1950.
Membership in the legislature
would not be affected since those
salaries were not changed this year
1929 Opinion Cited
A 1929 opinion of the attorney
general's office said that "a de-
cision of our supreme court must
be first secured on this subject be
fore any such legislative candi-
date can safely proceed . .
The opinion was written by Fred
Hansen, present first assistant at-
torney general, on a similar ques-
tion.
Principally affected by the puz
zle are several senators who are
considering seeking state offices.
Races Considered
Senator James C. Nance. Purcell
has announced he will not return
to the legislature and that if he
runs for anything it will be for
statewide office. Both the gover-
nor's and lieutenant governor's of
fices would be affected.
Senators Bill Logan, Lawton, and
Raymond Gary. Madill, are also
considering the governor's race.
Senator Keith Cartwright. Durant,
has already announced as a candi-
date for the corporation commis-
sion.
Several legislators and present of-
ficials have been studying the sal-
ary angle for some time.
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 17—<U.R)
—United Drys and state attorney
general both said today they will
be ready Tuesday to argue about
wording in the repeal ballot title
in state supreme court.
Dry Attorney Dave Shapard is
protesting the title on grounds It
is "argumentative and misleading"
because it states that the open
saloon would be prohibited "for-
ever.”
Attorney General Mac. Q. Wil-
liamson. named as defendant, said
his office would be ready to file
an answer to the protest tomorrow
and would be ready for a hearing
Tuesday if it is called by then.
A. G. Kulp, president of the Ok-
lahoma Economic institute which
sponsored the repeal petition, ac-
cused drys of being "frivolous and
dilatory" in filing the protest.
“Ready To Vote”
But Shapard insisted drys “are
ready to vote on Sept. 27" and said
he was ready to argue the case
Tuesday and "have tt disposed ,pf."
He said a meeting of the board
of directors of the United Drys will
be called Immediately to lay plans
for the campaign.
Governor Roy J. Turner said that
in view of the protest of the drys
he will not Issue the formal election
proclamation until he returns from
the national governors’ conference
in Colorado Springs next week.
Turner left for Colorado early to-
day.
In submitting the protest. Shap-
ard said his organization wants to
eliminate the word "forever" and
change the wording of a portion of
the ballot title to state that the
amendment would be "prohibiting
whatever the legislature shall de-
fine to be 'an open saloon'.”
Portion Is Cited
At present that portion of the
title, as approved by Williamson
reads:
"Forever prohibiting the open
saloon for the sale of intoxicating
liquors and empowering and direct-
ing the legislature to define the
term 'open saloon' and to enact
laws against the same.''
Three officials in the United
Drys filed the protest. They are
Roy S. Hollomon. secretary, pastor
of the Oklahoma City Exchange
Avenue Baptist church: B. C. Clark,
sr„ treasurer, Oklahoma City Jewel-
er; and Henry L. Goddard, mem-
ber of the board of directors and
retired Oklahoma City attorney.
Kulp, in claiming the protest was
a delaying action, declared, “it is
typical of the tactics that Shapard
has used throughout the last six
months In trying to prevent the
people from voting on this issue.”
