The New York Times will move west in 19G2 with a week-daedition to be printed in Los Angeles. It will carry most of the news content of , the home edition, omitting only stories of purely New York interest. An interesting facet of this criminal activity is described by Morton M. Hunt in the November issue of Harpers Magazine. It carries the vivid title Private Eye to Industry, and deals with the work of a highly unusual business named Investigations, Inc.", which is headed by New York management consultant Norman Jasper. y A lot of American money is reported going to Switzerland where it is being converted into Swiss francs. The reason is that it is believed Swit- zerland will escape destruction if war comes and Swiss francs will retain a value that American dollars would lose.

The periodic reports made public by the FBI and various other organizations involved with law enforcement tell that story in cold figures. And the increase is not limited to crimes of violence, or to those perpetrated by professional thugs, safe crackers, forgers, and so on. Stealing from companies by their employes from charwoman to chairman of the board has soared too. In 1960 fidelity insurance companies paid claims for employe thefts and embezzlements over three times as great as in 1945. Pedestrains must stay alert in order to stay alive! This warning has been issued by Howard L. Blood, chairman of the Public Traffic Education Committee of the Utah Safety Council. During November the committee will concentrate on trying to reduce pedestrian accidents, which comprise one of the most serious traffic problems in Utah. Mr. Blood recently pointed out that motor vehicle drivers must assume extra responsibility to . compensate for the heedlessness of the very young and the diminished faculties of the elderly. The sickening impact of steel against flesh occurs much more frequently among these two groups than any other. He urged pedestrians to use -- care and intelligence, especially in crossing streets. His warning was underlined by the fact that last year more than half of the 39 dead pedestrians were fatally injured while crossing city streets. Never cross the street ex- - kind or another. Internal dishonesty, the article points out, often starts in a small way a store manager, for instance, may put store maintenance men pro- ject, Dr. Marcus Parr, associate of modem cept at an intersection or pedestrian lane, and always obey the signals and signs. But dont blithely assume that a motorist will do the same. Many a pedestrian has been killed or injured in a protected crosswalk because an absent-mindedriver came BloocT Mr. pointed through, out. d The intelligent pedestrian who wants to survive the auto age will use his head and pause a second if a car is coming up fast, to make sure that it actually intends to stop. Another foolhardy act is to walk along the edge of the highway at night, especially during bad weather. If you must do. this, wear light clothing and walk against the traffic, so a car wont catch you unawares from behind. Promoting pedestrian safety calls for constant effort on everyones part, but it can pay the greatest possible broken bodies on streets and highlying Mr. Blood added. ways, divi-dend-few- er languages and an instructor in French and Spanish, stated that the laboratory will be of great to work redecorating his home. All thats involved is a little company time and a little company paint. But, value in teaching from the standpoint of communication, and added that if a student can understand the. spoken word, he is automatically helped in understanding linguistic structure. Dr. Parr indicated that upon the completion of the new library, hence the availability space, the facility will probably be enlarged and no longer used as an adjunct to the present classroom program, but will become a complete language classroom program in itself. as Mr. Jasper and Inc., have learned, the precedent thus established may grow like a weed, and in a few years the store may be losing hundreds of thousands a year as other employes take their cue from the managers dereliction.
