Crackdown Urged On Speeding GOP Legislator Asks New Licensing Rules Strict enforcement of speed laws and a more stringent system of revoking and suspending drivers' licenses for violations were called for yesterday by Alvin Wessler, Republican "legislator from District 10 of Pima County, "to help in reducing slaughter on our highways." The legislator, who Is seeking re-election, listed highway safety as one of the important matters that will face the next Legislature. He also urged a vote In Pima and Maricopa counties on the question of increasing the Board of Supervisors to five members, advocated setting up minimum qualifications for members of the Corporation Commission, and said a juvenile code should be enacted to provide greater liquor and narcotics controls. Wessler, who has been a representative for six years spoke before the Young Republican Club of Pima County. He listed accomplishments of recent legislatures with some criticism of Democratic members and then ticked off a number of items he feels should be considered at the next lawmaking session. Wessler said our highways are rot built for the greater speed built into the new ears.

He suggested stricter law enforcement as the way to cut the traffic toll. Commenting on the five supervisor question, Wessler said in Pima County two members who represent approximately one-third of the people control the three-member Board. The legislator declared that by getting up educational and training requirements for Corporation Commission members, assurance would be given that they were fit for the posts which he said directly or indirectly affect the lives of all. Other matter on which Wess- ler said the Legislature should act were: State aid to schools, which he aid should be on a basis of current enrollment rather than on the prior year. Creation of a department of personnel and job classification.

Appointment of a board to direct operation of the 6tate prison, which he called "this most neglected Institution," and which he said is the only state institution not managed by a board or commission. Advancement of the date of primary elections so that absentee voters, including those in the armed forces, will have a chance to cast ballots. Wessler said a "handful of the majority leadership" in the House prevented passage of the primary election date change.

'Stone Monster' Will Be Hazed Formally Known As 'The Blake Mansion House To Make Way For New Dormitory By DAVID SMITH The University of Arizona's "old stone monster," known more formally as the Biake Mansion, is coming down at last. The house, located on the northeast corner of N. Park Ave. and E.

2nd is being razed to make room for a new five-story women's hall. Somewhat run-down in past years, the old stone house will be hen they work with tne bnentr, Police and Highway departments two months out of the year. Both firms have two ambu lances standing by 24 hours a day, they added. Kerr, in answering questions of his attorney, William Spaid, reported that during 1954 nd '55 one ambulance took care of all his calls and that he added, one more at the first of this year. Reilly reported the same informa tion.

Wells and his son, Macio. who is the Peoples funeral director, said that they had been asked by many people, mostly Negroes, to get an ambulance service. Their attorney, John Mesch, also presented the commission with a pe tition containing 505 names re questing an ambulance servica for the mortuary. The Reverends F. J.

VTinbush, Joseph Aucorin, T. S. Jackson, and D. W. Lynn also testified for Peoples.

The Rev. Mr. Jackson, of the Mt. Calvary Church, which. has about 500 members, said he felt the community definitely needs the additional ambulance service and that there was a gree of discrimination against Negroes from some of the other undertaking establishments.

He and the other ministers pointed out instances in which patients waited from 45 minutes to a few hours for service and sometimes the ministers themselves took the patients to hospitals in Tuc son. Kerr and Reilly stated emphati cally that they answered every call made to their establishments and never inquired about the race, color or religion before tak ing a patient. "After we got the person to a medical organization," said Kerr, "we would then inquire about who was olng to pay the bills. Sometimes we are never paid and we have to chalk it up to profit and loss." Webster Bell, owner of a clean ing and tailoring business, point-ed out that an ambulance service at Peoples would give quicker service to the residents of west and southern portions of Tucson. He also related that many Negro people have developed the practice of calling the city police department before calling an ambulance service because they "feel they can get quicker service in case of an emergency.

Others speaking in behalf of Peoples were: Mrs. Harriet T. Bray, chairman of the Pima County welfare board; Howard W. Miller, guest ranch owner: Fred L. Taylor, special deputy sheriff; Mrs.

Mary A. McCray, maid; and Joe Stone, Peoples Mortuary employe. The commission also took under advisement two applications for certificate of convenience and necessity for water companies.

Built on a lavish scale for the time at a cost of $16,000, Blake Mansion was noted for its fine wood panelling, and large, high ceilinged rooms. Longtime Tucsonan Clara Fish Roberts recalls, "It was a lovely house in its day.

All the University people used to gather there. Dr. Blake and his wife entertained a good deal." The Blakes also were noted as world travelers, and they accumulated a great number of paintings and pieces of statuary, which they brought to the Blake Mansion. "They were real treasures," Mrs. Roberts said, valuable paintings, statues, and rugs from all over the world.

Strangely enough, when Dr. Blake and his wife went back East, they just abandoned the house, and, as far as I know, the collection just disappeared. I never found out what happened to it." Blake died in the East, aid the house lay idle for a time. In 1912, however, it became the first location for the Arizona State School for the Deaf and the Blind, which remained there until 1921.

Morgan represented 1 a i Garcia Soza, 24, of 22 W. 5th who entered a guilty plea yesterday morning on first degree burglary charges.

Judge Krucker will sentence Soza Monday. Morgan, I am disgusted that you couldn't inform the court sooner of your motion for a change of plea," said Judge Krucker. "It's a waste of tax payer's money to call a jury at $8 a day. They are here now and there is no case for them to hear. Now they will draw their money and be excused.

"Not you, Mr. Morgan, but all lawyers should sincerely hate to spend the taxpayers' money this way and you all can put a halt to it."

Employers who frown upon or actually prohibit active participation in politics by their were criticized yesterday by Jack Speiden, Republican candidate for representative in Congress, in a talk given before the Tucson Retail Trade Bureau. Speiden indicated that he had heard of instances where workers who had joined political clubs had been told. to cease their political activities or give up their jobs. Speiden said young people who ex perience this sort of thing get the idea that politics is something to be shunned. "After all we do need decent people in politics," Speiden should not be left to the loweV elements of our society.

It should not be shoved aside as something unworthy of our participation." Speiden told the group he was not sufficiently informed to take a stand on the minimum wage question and the exemption of retail stores and services from the operation of the law. He said the fundamental differences between him and his opponent is in the fact that "he believes in more government than I do. I am not in favor of so much control of the means of production and the centralization of government in Washington." Dnnglag Holsclaw, Republican legislative candidate, was also a guest of the retailers, who put him through a series of questions. Holsclaw said he is in favor of repealing the inventory tax, and that he believes the increased sales which retailers would' be able to make during the busy season would make up in sales tax the revenue Which would be lost if the inventory tax were repealed. Holsclaw did not take a definite stand on the right-to-work law, saying only that it is on the statute books by vote of the people and should be enforced as long as it is there.

He said he was in favor of creating a state department of labor, and it would make no difference whether one man or a board administered the act. because it would grant only authority to enforce the present labor laws of the state.
