A. Whitehurst. Speaking before the annual meeting of the American Society for Testing and Materials, Prof. Whitehurst reported on the 1967 and 1968 test projects of the National Safety Councils Committee on Winter Driving Hazards at Stevens Point, Wise., of which he serves as director. These tests also disclosed for the first time that when these studded tires traction devices and chains are used ori the rear wheels only, the cornering capacity of a vehicle is not materially improved. With studded tires on the rear wheels the cornering speed of the test vehicle was increased 6 per cent; with reinforced tire chains on the rear wheels, 10 per Prof. Whitehurst said. cent, When studded tires were used on all four wheels, however, the cornering speed was increased by 24 per cent. Since studded tires are normally used on the rear wheels only, Whitehurst explained that this practice could subject drivers to a hazardous situation in Page Five Plaza Urges Policy New Regulations For Latin Development Listed for Sellers Latin American cannot hope to achieve the economic devel- Of Ammunition opment and the social it seeks under the Alliance for Progress-.- unless it arrests the decay of its cities, a high official ranking said recently. Galo Plaza, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, urged members of the Municipal to weave urban Organization strategy into the fabric of the Alliance fro Progress. The absence of urban policy in our over-al- l planning has been one of the great shortcomings of the program, Plaza charged. The Secretary General called on international lending agencies to divert more resources to the building of urban infrastructure. He also said the lending agencies must study ways to relieve the enormous and growing debt burden of Latin nations. Alliance countries now of all foreign spend assistance on debt service, Plaza noted. It is difficult, if not impossible, to fund the necessary social development programs under these circumstances, he warned. The OAS Chief called for an end to the separation and exaggerated independence that has sometimes characterized our municipal authorities.

Previously, dealers in shotgun and .22 caliber ammunition were not required to have licenses. However, by filing a license application on time, a dealer not previously required to have a license may continue to sell the ammunition pending action on his application. The fee is $10 and permits a dealer to sell both firearms and ammunition. - Many businessmen will be required to obtain a federal license to sell ammunition for the first time. For example under the new gun law, businesses such as food and general merchandise stores, gas stations and hardware stores who stock ammunition as a convenience to sportsmen and hunters must now be licensed. Application forms for license to sell ammunition are available at local IRS offices. The annual fee has been raised from $1.00 to $10. Pawnbrokers dealing ?: firearms must obtain a $25 li cense under the new law. The IRS said anyone with a valid federal license to sell firearms and ammunition may continue to do business under this license until it expires. Then it must be renewed in compliance with the new law. IRS said ammunition dealers may not make sales on or after December 16 without a valid license. However, dealers may continue to sell provided an application has been made for such a license. Besides the license requirement the new gun law also establishes controls on the sales of firearms and ammunition. No one under the age of 18 may be sold firearms or ammunition of any type and a person has to be 21 to buy pistols, revolvers or ammunition for them. . save you the nuisance of vacuuming crumbs from the carpet or taking stick spots off seat covers.
