Senate Group Continued from Page One icularized elsewhere. "I can't imagine it was for any other purpose than to hurt Nixon politically," he said. It was the Post which broke the story of Nixon's $18,000 special fund contributed by fellow Californians to help him meet expenses as a senator. An article in the current issue of Look magazine was largely responsible for the disclosure that Barrett's three man subcommittee, following through on action begun while it was under Democratic control, has agreed unanimously that forged papers were used against the vice president Anti-Nixon Conspiracy. Look says a "gigantic conspiracy" was launched against Nixon and that former President Truman "directly participated" in what it called a continuing smear campaign. The magazine says Truman told California Democratic leaders during the 1952 campaign that Nixon was involved in another fund besides the $18,000 one. The subcommittee didn't mention Truman. Nixon had nothing to say about the case himself. His administrative assistant, Robert Ladd, said, "The only statement this office caret to make is that the article in Look speaks for itself and tells the complete story." Kuchel Explains Views in State Patronage Row SAN FRANCISCO (F)—Sen. Thomas Kuchel (R-Calif.), giving his patronage views in this area where there is a political tugo-of-war over the U.S. attorney's post, said Monday he would consider the views of his predecessor, Vice President Nixon, along with others on patronage matters. But he said final responsibility rests with himself and Sen. Knowland (R-Calif.). Legislature to Consider Bill to Put Limit on Damage Judgments SACRAMENTO (CNS)—One of the hotter issues the state legislature will consider when it convenes here Feb. 24 will be the problem of awards to persons who sue insurance concerns. Bills of various nature, limiting awards, are before the state's soils and the question is bound to come up as to whether such legislation is constitutional or not. The problem arose when insurance concerns started hiking the public liability rates, claiming that the size of awards made by juries on automobile liability, and also on suits involving public buildings, sidewalks and other structures, has so cut down their ability to pay that they must have more premium to meet the calls on the insurance funds. Juries, according to testimony given before legislative committees, tend to go all out when an insurance concern is involved, and authorize top claims for injuries. The problem is particularly of concern to the motorist who desires protection while driving an automobile, and there are few of the state's more than five million vehicle owners who don't carry such protection, particularly where liability for the injuries of other persons is involved. Judgments against individuals without insurance, it has been pointed out, can wreck the individual financially, cost him his home, and in some cases, put him in a state of indebtedness for the remainder of his days. Consequently, the desirability of insurance is not questioned, but the rates are another matter entirely. And added to the increase in rates, which most motorists have been noticing for the past few months, is the fact that in some instances, automobile drivers who are prone to accidents can't get insurance at all. And in other instances, individuals are subjected to an inquisition before certain concerns will issue a policy. Probably the state is as much at fault as anyone in permitting persons who are accident drivers mobilize. The power over the issuance of licenses and could if it came some steps to cut down who are more or less regretting into accidents, found guilty of driving toxicated, and arresting them drive without a license, giving them a longer period of not having a license. However, the state did this, and there is no indictment present time that the ment of motor vehicles crack down, or that the statute plans to strengthen laws. It is a peculiar fact California with five million mobile or more, almost can secure a driver license comparatively speaking to pilot an airplane weeks of study and a tamination before it is issued. Some observers have opinion that the insurance panies, by picking up those insured, are merely the state into a state's liability insurance, where idea would be to continue the good risks, and leave ones to a state fund, primarily by the taxpayer. The only answer to this pointed out, would be to persons to insure with fund. If one is set up, and private companies out of business.

The state has power over the issuance of drivers licenses and could if it chose, take some steps to cut down on those who are more or less regular about getting into accidents, who are found guilty of driving while intoxicated, and arresting those who drive without a license, instead of giving them a longer penalty period of not having a driver's license. However, the state doesn't do this, and there is no indication at the present time that the department of motor vehicles intends to crack down, or that the state legislature plans to strengthen the laws. It is a peculiar fact that in California with five million automobiles or more, almost anyone can secure a drivers license, while comparatively speaking a license to pilot an airplane requires weeks of study and a tough examination before it is issued. Some observers have given the opinion that the insurance companies, by picking up the cream of the insured, are merely driving the state into a state system of liability insurance, wherein their idea would be to continue to take the good risks, and leave the bad ones to a state fund, supported primarily by the taxpayers. The only answer to this, it is pointed out, would be to force all persons to insure with a state fund. If one is set up, and get the private companies out of the business. Anahi Students Select Top 10 "Why Don't You Believe Me" was selected as the number one song by students at Anaheim union high school, who conducted a poll for the ten top songs played on Bob McLaughlin's radio program, "Top Tunes." In second play, as determined by the students, was "Hold Me. Hold Me." by Patti Page. "Oh. Happy Day" with the vocal by the Four Knights completed the list of the top three. Continuing down the line were earl Bailey's version of "It Takes Two to Tango" in the fourth position. "You Belong to Me" in fifth place and "Heart and Soul" in sixth spot. Rotarians Hear AUHS Delegates To Model Legislature Plug Bills The Anaheim Rotary club heard two proposed amendments to the state constitution, which will be presented to the YMCA model legislature. Feb. 19-21 at yesterday's meeting. An amendment to the narcotics law, stiffening the penalty for convicted dope peddlers, was presented by Shirley Pannier, while Kevin Stanton proposed a change in the state gambling law to prohibit draw poker. Shirley asked that first offenders in selling narcotics be given 5-10 year sentences rather than 1-5 years, which is the maximum penalty under the present law. Dope sellers with previous felony convictions should be sentenced to 12-20 years instead of the current 5-10 year terms, she said. Draw poker should be added to the list of illegal gambling games. Stanton told the Rotarians, who were asked to criticize the manner of presentation and the ideas of the bills. Although the existing law prohibits "games of chance," operators of draw poker card games have escaped penalty under the law of claiming that draw poker is a game of skill rather than of chance, he said. Moderator during the presentation was Phil Wright, recently elected lieutenant of the model DULLES REPORTS TO PRESIDENT — Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (left) today reports to President Eisenhower on the fact-finding survey of seven West European nations he made with Mutual Society Administrator Harold E.

Washington Prison Officials Hurt Seriously by Prisoner-Made Bomb WALLA WALLA, Washington Two Washington state prison officials were critically injured Monday when a crude, prisoner-made bomb blew up as they were examining it. The bomb—a six ounce medicine bottle filled with what appeared to be black powder had been found earlier in a shakedown of prisoners' cells. It exploded just outside Warder John Cranor's office scant seconds after the warden had told his two aides to "take it out and destroy it." One of the men, Albert Gruber, prison business manager, was reported hovering near death. An arm was torn off and his stomach was ripped open. Cranor, two secretaries and two guards suffered minor injuries. FBI technicians were called in immediately to aid prison and county officers in trying to learn the contests of the bomb and what "triggered" it off.
