Mr. Sharp, a member of the 105th Army Division in the Eattle of the Bulge, died of leukemia yesterday in the Veterans Administration Hospital, Elsmere. He hid been ill for some time. A corporal technician, fifth grade at the time ot his discharge, he Joined the Army in January, 1943, and went overseas i October of the following year. He was caught in the German counter-attack in mid December, 1944, following the Nor 83 to 90 per cent of highway fatalities Mr.

Sharp believes. "It is a bad habit. I know from personal experience," the chairman declared. "But I have broken the habit because as chairman of the highway department I had good reasor to Break it. If there's other, but that suspension of license to drve Is "a serious Jolt to This is a technique which shoulu be used more, he said, fourth Radar Set Bought Colonel Shew said the fourth Tartar we.

Wat mirrhnnorf vattarriavJ It will be a second set for use in New Castle County. The state police already have two sets and a third is on loan from the Highway Department The superintendent said that in the first two months of this year the state police made 2.483 traffic arrests. Up to March 7. a total of 828 arrests were made through the use of radar. Ten unmarked cars operating in the daytime were used in making 431 arrests in January and February.

The use of radar and unmarked cars accounted for more than half the arrests made in the first two months. He emphasized that enforcement Is on an unbiased basis, without re gard to race or to state ot origin. He predicted that continued arrests will result in a reduction in speeding in Delaware. Colonel shew said that he Just returned from the South and was told in North Carolina that Dela ware Is getting a reputation as be ing "tough" in highway law enforcement. Gerrish Gassaway, executive vice president of the Dela ware State Chamber of Commerce, suggested it would be better to develop a reputation for being fair than for being "tougn." Walter B.

McKendrick, chairman of the safety committee, said it is important to impress out-of-state drivers. He said that 42 per cent of the accidents in Delaware last year involved out-of-state cars. Pennsylvania Drivers Criticized Mr. Gassaway also spoke of the importance- of impressing out-of- state drivers particularly thoee from Pennsylvania. He commented: "I'm not saying they all drive like Idiots, but a great many of the ones that I see on the Concord Pike drive like idiots." Many Pennsylvanians noticed by the Chamber of Conv merce executive speed and drive recklessly, he said.

Mr. McKendrick reported that up to 5:30 p. m. yesterday there had been five fatal highway accidents in Delaware this year as compared with 10 on the same date last year There have been 15 days without a highway fatality, he said. The total of highway accidents of all kinds in Delaware for the first two months of the was 481, as compared with 372 for the same months of 1953.

The Increase was attributed by Mr. McKendrick to the snow. He said the use of radar, un marked cars, and suspension of li censes will help to reduce speeding in Delaware. Mrs. Pearl Herlihy, reporting on a women's meeting at the highway conference in Washington left these questions with the safety committee Should the wisdom of permanent II censes be re-evaluated? Should we bring back periodical examinations for licensed drivers? Should we re quire reports from the medical profession regarding drivers who might be unfit to drive? Should there be a concerted national effort to obtain uniform basic traffic and driving regulations? Governor J.

Caleb Boggs, who opened the meeting, praised the service of the two groups. CRANE ON PALLBEARERS LIST FOR HAYS' RITES SULLIVAN, Ind March 8 UP).

Calvin R. McCul-lough as New Castle County Democratic chairman. The county committee is to reorganize Saturday, and William Marvel is slated to become chairman. The committee discussed prospects tor the election of a United States senator next fall. Several speakers commented that U.

8. Senator J. Allen Frear, would be a difficult candidate in their hundred, and expressed the hope, that the Democratic state conven. tion will draft Justice James M. Tunnel! as the party's candidate for senator.

Meanwhile, the validity of the "purported" election of members of the New Castle County Democratic Committee from Blackbird Hundred was challenged last night by Leland M. Relchert of Fleming's Landing, a frequent critic of Democratic Party affairs. Mr. Relchert contended. In a letter to G.

Lester Dartiles, the coun-1 ty chairman, and Frank O'Donnell, county Democratic secretary, that the meeting held in Blackbird Hundred on Feb. 16 to elect committee- men was "a clandestine meeting, without authority, under the rules of the Democratic Party, to take valid action binding the Democratic v- He charged that the meeting was held "without the posted notices, required by the rules of the Democratic Party, on poles In the district' Not even a token notice was ya the unmarked building in which the meeting was held."

About 200 persons occupied every seat la the auditorium. Nearly 100 more stood around the walla and about 14 adults and children sat on the floor at the front of the room. Mr. Oreenewalt.

Introduced by J. Edgar Rhoads, president of tha society, addressed the large audience in the lecture haU of the Wilmington Institute Free Library. Mr. Oreenewalt also gave a brief dPSTj-intlon and showed a drawing of tha electronic equipment used In photographing the birds. Some of the film was shot In Bermuda and soma in Wilmington and vicinity.

Aided By Experts Little credit for the result of the high-speed electronic bird pho toeraDhy belongs to him, Mr. Greenewalt said. The aid of several experts, including Victor Hanson of the DuPont Company's engineer ing department, who invented the photo-electric cell used in the pno-tographie equipment; John Alexander, a photographer with the DuPont Company magazine, "Better Living," and Robert Nelson, who did the photo-finishing, really made possible his results, Mr. Greenewalt aid. Mrs.

Greenewalt operated the projector at the meeting. Her husband praised her patience with his bird-photography hobby and help In erecting cedar wood feeding stations and permitting him to bore a small hole through an upstairs door in connection with observation and photography of birds. The audience roared with laughter when Mr. Greenewalt confided that only a washrag stuffed in this hole" he bored in the upstairs porch door had kept out the winter winds. He also told his audience that considering he was neither an expert photographer, nor an ornithologist, nor finished his own photographs, he got a lot of fun out of this hobby.

"I have found it a fascinating hobby the more fascinating because of the large amount of assistance I've had," Mr. Greenewalt quipped. The erection of high platforms on which to mount the complicated photographic equipment and photocells for the high-speed photographing of birds in flight and going to and from feeding stations was shown in one slide. Lines of win for the electrical equipment were numerous. Small Picture Area There is a "very small picture area" In which to operate in photo graphy of birds in flight and ap proaching and leaving feeding stations and feeding young in nests, Mr.

Greenwalt explained. That fact, ha said, adds to the difficulties of getting good results. The electronic helps make it feasible, he said. Shota of European goldfinches nd blue birds in Bermuda on nesta and feeding their young were among the finest in color and clarity of the slides Mr. Greenwalt showed.

Oriental finches, cardinals, wrens, humming birds, Including one called the "Zum-Zum" In Cuba, the yellow-bill Tropical birds, the purple finch, blue jays, red-headed and red-breasted woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmouse, nd even sparows, were among the species of birds Included In the color slides. Some of the slides were progressive shots of birds in full flight. The speed of the shutter to "catch" such hots was one ten-thousandth of a second, Mr. Greenewalt said. The birds flying through the photo-cell beam trip the Mr.

Greenewalt also presented some data on feeding time intervals and types of Insects used in feeding of various species by the parent birds. Tie made the observations in connection with his photographic hobby. The present membership of the Society of Natural History of Delaware is the largest In its history, above 200 persons, it was reported the meeting. Mr. Greenewalt was given an ovation after the last slide, which appropriately, showed a rear view of a titmouse In full flight, "the end." McCarthy- Continued From First Pitt Commission rules provide that I must be given time answer these charges." McCarthy said Stevenson's speech was "an intemperate attack on the Republican Party and a lengthy, vicious attack on me personally." Stevenson said that a group of "political plungers" had persuaded President Eisenhower to adopt McCarthy's tactics for the Republican Party as a whole.

McCarthy said Nixon was "an excellent choice" to answer Stevenson i but added: "However, Mr. Nixon Is speaking for the party. I'm speaking for myself." He said Hall was "entirely correct" In considering the Stevenson speech an attack, on the Republican Party. "He had no other choice," McCarthy added. A Very Clever Talk' McCarthy announced yesterday he would ask the networks for a chance to answer the Stevenson peech, which he called "a very clever political talk designed to cloud the issues." But Hall, making no direct men' tion of McCarthy, told the Column What Do You Gain When You Give A Pint of Blood? The satisfaction of knowing that your priceless gift has helped omeone to live.

For blood laves lives I But it cannot be It must come from the eins of healthy men and women who feel concern for the suffering e-f others and know that blood can gave them. So give blood now!

military secrets. Schwable's counsel. Col. Paul Sherman, asked If it is realistic to expect a captured officer to stick to the Geneva convention on treatment of war prisoners. This requires a prisoner to give only his name, rank and serial number.

"There has to be a dividing line," Dean replied, "and that's as good a as any. It's the ideal we should strive for; the Communists wont stop (their questioning) anywhere." "Do you believe It possible for anyone to stop after giving name, rank and serial number?" Sherman persisted. Hard to Judge "It is hard for me to Judge others," said Dean. "I didn't have the intelligence or strength to stop there." Dean said he did refuse to broadcast for the Communists or to tell them where South Korean President Rhee could be Schwable, expected to testify himself later this week, has filed a statement saying he agreed to make a germ warfare "confession," so worded that the outside world could see It was false, after months of solitary confinement, filth and squalor which weakened his ability to resist and reason. Sherman sought to show Dean the highest ranking American officer captured by the Reds, and a Medal of Honor winner was not subjected to hardships as great as Schwable's.

Torture Feared Dean said he did not consider his own interrogations as torture, even though one session lasted 68 hours. He said he always had access to medical care and got food as good as his captors got He said he did not fear the constant questioning would break him down but did fear torture might. And he said he believed at the time, and still believes, his guards were terrified at the prospect that he might die because they were un der orders to keep-him for a "war crimes" after the war. "I have talked to other prisoners," Dean said, "and I feel that my treatment was better than that of the others." Schwable has said he was convinced the Communists were going to kill him or let him die In a remote mountain camp where "nobody would ever be the wsier."

Death of Ferenc Hcrczeg, 91-year-old Hungarian novelist and playwright, has been reported here. tal period but were turning down free time for McCarthy. CBS said in a statement tonight that in giving time to the Republican Party and not to McCarthy it had fulfilled "both the spirit and the letter of the law and the FCC requirements." The statement added that since the Democratic National Committee was given time for Stevenson's speech "it is logical and equitable, therefore, to provide equal time for reply to the Republican National Committee, rather than to any individual." Telegram Sent Senator CBS said it had advised McCarthy by telegram that it felt panting the half-hour to the national committee on Hall's request "provided a full balance to Mr.

Stevenson's half: hour speech." Rules of the FCC require that candidates for political office must be given equal time on the air, and while no rule covers non-election political squabbles the networks say? their policy is to give "well rounded coverage." Hall said Stevenson "Impugned the Eisenhower Administration and its leadership in terms which demand immediate and official reply by the Republican Party." He added Stevenson spoke in his capacity as the leader of the Democratic Party. Stevenson, addressing a big Dem ocratic harmony feast, charged the Republican Party has embarked on a deliberate campaign of "slander, dissension and deception" in an effort to remain in power. Personal Attack Made The defeated 1952 Democratic presidential nominee lashed at Mc Carthy personally, asserting the Wisconsin senator Is trying to capture the Republican Party and lead it to "a malign and fatal totalitarianism." McCarthy acted on his own last November to challenge an attack on "McCarthylsm" and the Eisenhower Administration by Harry S. Truman McCarthy demanded, and got, an esuivalent amount of time on tne networks to reply to the former president. He used the time not only to blast away at Truman but also to take issue with Elsenhower on China policy and on communism as a 1954 election issue.

Evidence that Hall and McCarthy do not see eye to eye on all things appeared last week when Hall emerged from a conference with Eisenhower to state that he can't "go along" with McCarthy when the senator attacks those "who are fighting communism Just as conscientiously as he is." Didn't Like Stevens Row Hall has described McCarthy as an asset to the Republicans, but indicated he didn't like the recent row between the senator and Secre tary of the Army Stevens. Later in New York Hall said the furor over McCarthy's activities hasn't caused any rift in the Republican Party. Meanwhile today In Congress, Senator Douglas (D-ni) introduced today a bill to establish by law a "code of fair play" for congressional Investigations such as those of McCarthy. Reform steps taken by Senate Republican leaders, Douglas said, amount only to "a pious Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) Joined In sponsoring the legislation, which is similar to several other measures pending in both the Senate and House. In addition to setting up rules to govern congressional inquiries, it would create a single Senate-House committee to take over the Red-hunting of com mittees headed by McCarthy, Sen- ator Jenner (R-Ind) and Representative Velde (R-Ill).

Vatican sources gave this Information as evidence of the pope's slow, Put steady return to strength.

Last week marked the first time he had been able to retain any solids. As recently as Saturday he as given only a small portion of rice and fruit. During the worst of the pontiff's illness he was fed Intravenously and or days was kept on a completely liquid diet. He is still forced to spend much of the day In bed, but Vatican sources said he devotes as much time as his doctors permit working on affairs of the church. Court- Contlnied From First Pert Federal Criminal Code provides no testimony given by a witness in congressional inquiries shall be used as evidence in any criminal proceeding against him in court.

W. Giles Parker, a Maryland assistant attorney general, argued this law applies only to federal courts. He said Congress didnt have power to prescribe rules of evidence for state courts. Black ruled, however: "The act forbids use of such evidence 'in any criminal proceeding in any Language could be no plainer. To construe this phrase as having any other meaning would make the act a trap for the unwary." The section stems from an 1857 congressional act designed to give committee witnesses immunity from prosecution in order to get testimony they otherwise could refuse to give on grounds of self-incrimination.

Thirty-five years later the Supreme Court ruled this law was not broad enough to accomplish its purpose. Attorney General Brownell is working on a new law along this line at present. 5th Amendment Unaffected Today's decision does not affect the "Fifth Amendment" right of a witness to refuse to give testimony on ground it might tend to incriminate him. It adds up to this: A witness cannot be compelled to give incriminating testimony, and the actual testimony he gives without claiming the privilege against self-incrimination cannot be used against him. Adams did not claim the privilege.

justice Jackson, who wrote a separate concurring opinion, said the ruling does not say Maryland cannot prosecute Adams. "It Just says sne shall not put him to diS' advantage on trial by reason of his cooperation with Congress. It leaves Maryland with complete freedom to prosecuteshe Just has to work up her own evidence and cannot use that worked up by congress." The Supreme Court refused today to rule on a section of the McCar ran-Walter Immigration Act under which the government is seeking to aeporr, singer dick Haymes. Involves Union Local 37, International Longshore men's and Warehousemen's Union not Haymes was involved. It sought to enjoin enforcement of an immigration law section which says a resident alien who goes to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands may be barred from returning to the mainland if he is in any of 31 classes of inad-' mlssable aliens.

The government Is seeking to deport Haymes on the ground he illegally reentered the continental United States after visiting actress Rita Hayworth, now his wife, in Hawaii last spring. Haymes Is an Argentine national. In the case before the Court to day, the union said it had more than 3,000 members, mostly aliens, who do agricultural work on the West Coast in the fall and winter and work in fish canneries in Alaska In summer. Justice Frankfurter, who wrote the court's 7 to 2 decision, said the case involved "hypothetical situa tions" which haven't risen yet.

Rejecting all amendments to the Administration-sponsored measure, the House approved it by voice vote.

The bill would authorize unprecedented federal on roads of $875,000,000 annually for the two yea beginning July 1, 1955. Personally endorsed by President Eisenhower, the measure would give states matching this money more leeway in some respects in how it is spent. The bill, calling for 225 millions a year more than existing law, went through Just as it was written by Representative McGregor (R-Ohlo). But the House came close to sharply revising the principal new feature a proposal to sepnd annually on Interstate highways. Representative Martin (R-Iowa) wanted to knock out a provision stipulating this money would be forthcoming only if the federal gasoline tax is retained at two cents a gallon.

The House defeated Martin's SOGGOCXXXXXXXXXXX.
