PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1973 Law Enforcement Topic For Traffic Meeting Judge Thomas F. Baker, associate judge of the 19th Judicial Circuit court, McHenry county, spoke about "Law Enforcement and Traffic Court Procedure" at the annual meeting of the Illinois Con­ ference of Women Leaders for Traffic Safety at the Hilton Inn, North Aurora recently. Mrs. W.H. Tammeus, Woodstock, was elected president of the region for the next two years. "People are scared in court before a judge," Baker stated. "Therefore I have prepared a small folder entitled 'For Your Information' which is given out to those waiting their turn in court, which explains the rights of the individual." Because over 50 percent of all traffic accidents in our nation are caused by drinking drivers, Illinois has passed an Implied Consent law and McHenry and Lake counties have set up driver training schools to help convicted drivers understand and overcome their problems. Traffic courts handle both state and municipal violations, Baker explained, since there are two sets of laws. State violations could incur a jail sentence; municipal violations do not. Mrs. Mark Braun, Springfield, out-going state president of JCWLTS, who will be serving on the national board of the organization, alerted those present to think carefully about a proposed law, making it legal for 18-year-olds to purchase and drink liquor. She quoted detailed figures on Michigan's experience after such a law was passed there in 1971. Statistics show a marked increase in both fatalities and injuries in 1972, with injuries more than doubling for the 18- to-20-year-old driver group. She urged all citizens to get facts and think soberly before voting on the proposed laws. Illinois traffic fatalities decreased in 1972 over 1971. State Trooper Robert Belcher, Rockford, stated tlk»t 55,000 deaths occurred on U.S. highways last year, two-thirds of them on rural highways. He has personally handled thirteen fatal accidents, only one of which was not drunk or did not involve drinking. Mrs. Braiyi installed the 1973 officers: bertha Tammeus, Woodstock, president; Mary Eastman, Elmhurst, first vice- president; LaVern Not- telmann, Elmhurst, second vice-president; Dorothy Zukauskas, Lisle, secretary, and June McEwen, Liber- tyville, treasurer. A vote of thanks was given the retiring officers: Barbara R a y m o n d , p r e s i d e n t , Waukegan; Elvina Latimer, s e c o n d v i c e - p r e s i d e n t , McHenry; and Serena Wilson, member-at-large, Downer's Grove.

Klein's Future- Zeigler's Future- Thieu's Daughter- Air Force Role WASHINGTON, D. C.~ There's been a flurry of re­ cent speculation over the future of Nixon Administra­ tion Communications Direc­ tor Herb Klein. It 's true press secretary Ron Zeig- ler 's work has pleased the President and Zeigler is highly regarded, a comer. It 's also true Klein had de­ cided some time ago he wouldn't remain another four years. Klein and Zeigler have made an effective team and the first four years of their work, until Mr. Nixon was reelected, was obviously the most important period. Klein has been with Nixon since both came out of the Navy after World War II. And working for the President is not an easy job by any means, nor should it be. Klein is highly respected by members of the press, who would deeply regret his leaving. But he could un­ questionably find less de­ manding and more permanent work, and the strain and stress of his job has been considerable, for years.

Just as Methodist Chiang Kai-Shek was somewhat handicapped in China, as a convert to a we,stern (colonialism) reli­ gion, so too is Thieu. In this connection, Thieu's daughter was wed in late January. Her husband was required to convert from Bud­ dhism to her and her father's faith, so the wedding could take place, a point not miss­ ed by Buddhists, who com­ prise ninety per cent of the Vietnamese population. The U.S. Air Force recent­ ly proudly announced it had selected a manufacturer (Fairchild) to build an air­ craft to support front-line troops. For years the Air Force has neglected this area, often at great cost to the combat infantrymen, and there are many who feel the Army and Marines should have their own close-support aircraft, that they would do a better job, because they would have their hearts in the effort. The Air Force's primary role is, admittedly, other than close support. To keep the Army from increasing its air role, jealously guarded, the Air Force has talked much about close support. But some wonder what will become of the much-heralded new AX aircraft. For one thing, the Air Force is al­ most certain to lack the funds for acquisition of any number of these planes if it wants the B-l and other highly costly weapons now projected.

T V COMMENTARY WHAT WITH the many barbs flung at TV program­ mers, they on occasion feel like porcupines with invert­ ed quills. Sometimes the needles are sharp and pain­ ful, sometimes not. For in­ stance, it was said recent­ ly that TV is really still in its infancy, which explains why you have to get up to change it so often.

IN SEARCH OF ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS seen recent­ ly was interesting and per­ haps useful in that it caused some of us to think, when attempting to answer an ar­ ray of tantalizing questions the show presented. How­ ever, one does note that some of the theories pre­ sented on the program have long since been discredited by scholars. IT IS quite possible that Lome Green, the big daddy of the Pondorosa, will hang up his six-gun and replace it with a gat. Next season look for him in ABC's new "Griff" series. He'll be a detective who steps into his son's private-eye shoes after the youngster meets an untimely demise. SOME FOLKS hope that the FCC, the government's regulator of the broadcasting industry, will find a way to get out of i ts Prime-Time Access Rule gracefully and with honor, but to indeed get out. The rule has produced a quagmire of problems. The program diversity it was to stimulate is as unseen as the Milky Way at high noon in Texas. rQ I §*4 Coming To Swanson Chalet Live Entertainment Every Saturday .
