Leader called to day for a concerted campaign to! keep chronic traffic violators off] the state’s highways. The governor told Pennsyl vania’s first traffic court confer ence attended by 50 police offi cers, attorneys and safety direc tors that “repeaters and irrespon sible drivers should receive sus pensions and be removed from the highways.” At the same time, Leader said a new plan for tightening traffic fine enforcement across the state is making it tougher for convicted violators to escape, penalties. The plan, he said, has devel oped the formula: “Those who don’t pay, don’t drive; for their licenses are suspended.” The drive. Leader reported, started on a trial basis two months ago and "seems to be getting results.” “As things stand now,” the gov ernor explained, “magistrates make prompt reports of those on whom fines are imposed, and the clerks return to the Department of Revenue a complete list of delinquents.” He added the stepped-up fine enforcement requires the cooper ation of the county courts in their role as agents of the rev enue department. Leader said that while Penn sylvania’s traffic fatality rate hps improved, “we cannot justifiably feel complacent.” _ . RECORD SALE! Our Annual...

THE HARMONY SHOP Except Angel Records and Samples "The Most Complete Record Selection in the Area" THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA STARTS -ALSO WASHINGTON, April 25 f/P) — President Dwight D. Eisenhower acted today to find out whether | mounting oil imports are threat ening the national security and whether mandatory curbs are necessary. He announced in Augusta, Ga„ where he is working and playing golf, that an immediate investi gation would be made of the national defense angles of the situation. j At the same time the President directed his defense mobilization I chief, Gordon Gray, to renew | efforts for a voluntary reduction iof the flow of crude oil into this ; country. [ “If the finding and recomment jdations resulting from the inves tigation which I shall cause to be made result in my determining that an impairment of the na tional security is in fact threat- I ened.” Ike Questions Imports Eisenhower said, “it will be important for me to know wheth er an adjustment of imports can be accomplished voluntarily, or whether other measures may be necessary.” t As a defense measure, the gov-| jemment could impose import; | quotas. It also has authority un [der certain conditions to raise thej | tariff on crude and discourage! I imports in that manner. Gray's Reports The President acted after Gray; reported to him that the rate of imports “could reach a point at I which the incentive for explora-j tion and development in this; country would be so reduced as to make us dependent upon over-] seas oil supplies to meet our national energy requirements." Bearing In mind the European' oil shortage created by the clos-] ing of the Suez Canal last year, the government wants to place a minimum of reliance on foreign sources. Open Evenings till 9 p.m. Eisenhower Blasts Labor Racketeering AUGUSTA, Ga., April 25 UP) President Dwight D. Eisenhower today branded labor racketeering “an abomin ation which must be eliminated.” He called for ousting leaders “who abuse power and trust.” To help wipe out “corruption on the part of a few in the labor field,” he urged Congress! -- to pass laws to protect all union funds, including an estimated 25 billion dollars so far contributed to labor organization health and welfare programs. After a 90-minute conference, here with Secretary of Labor! James P. Mitchell, the President 1 asked for swift enactment of legis lation to require: • Registration, reports to the government and public dis closure of complete data on all health and welfare funds. The administration already has a bill before Congress to provide for that. The bill provides for such re porting and publication on man agement as well as labor union funds of that kind. | •Reporting the public dis- | closure of all other union fi- ! nancial data—for example, dues ! collected, salaries of union offi- i cials, and full treasury slate- j menls. The Labor Department j gets such information at pres ent, Mitchell said, but needs congressional authorization to ; make it public. | | “We are trying to help the [American labor movement clean house in those areas where it needs to clean house,” Mitchell said at a news conference after discussing the situation with Ei senhower at the President’s vaca tion headquarters, the Augusta (National Golf Club.

Attache : BUDAPEST, April 25 (JP)—‘ The United States protested today to yhe Hungarian Communist gov ernment that the way an Ameri ican military attache was held [and questioned here under orders | of a Russian officer was typical [of an "occupied country.” U.S. Charge d’Affaires N. Spen cer Bajnes delivered a note to i the Hungarian Foreign Ministry rejecting the Communist charge of espionage against the attache, Capt. Thomas R. Gleason of Ur jbana, 111., who was ordered ex celled on April 9 and returned [home. The U.S. statement referred to an incident the previous week when Gleason and the senior U.S. military attache in Hungary, Col. James C. Todd of Tulsa, Okla, were halted on a country road. They were accused of photo graphing a barracks, which they denied. A Russian officer, apparently the barracks commander, took charge of the soldiers who held the American pair. “The U.S. government consid ers it inexcusable,” the note add ed, "that Capt.
