City Radar Law
Change Suggested
ATLANTA (UPD—Georgia ci
ties have found the state’s new
traffic radar law so strict, that
not a single one has yet been
able to qualify to set up its
own police radar network.
The strict restrictions written
into the 1968 law were criti
cized Wednesday when Atlanta
police officials said there was
not a single company presently
manufacturing radar units that
would qualify under the 1968
law.
The police department said it
would ask the 1969 Legislature
to amend the law, giving cities
the right to use radar equip
ment of their own choice.
Legislators, fearful of a re
turn up the old speed trap
days, wrote several stringent
requirements into the 1968 law.
Included was a provision that
radar units automatically
stamp on the ticket the time
of day, the day and the speed
the motorist was going at the
time it was given.
Atlanta police traffic superin
tendent George Royal said
some companies could probab
ly manufacture the required

The state took away the right
of cities and counties to use

New York Times
Dies At 77
NEW YORK (UPD—Arthur
Hays Sulzberger, a major
builder of the New York Times
during his 50 years with the
newspaper, died in his sleep
Wednesday after a prolonged
illness. He was 77.
Sulzberger, a warm and
personable man who reshaped
the newspaper during more
than 25 years as president and
publisher of the New York
Times Co., had been chairman
of its board of directors since
1957.
He passed his 50th anniversa
ry with the times last Saturday.
The body is to be cremated. A
memorial service is scheduled
Sunday afternoon at Temple
Emanu-El.
The family asked that Instead
of flowers, donations be sent to
the Times Neediest Cases fund,
an annual charitable drive, at
P.O. Box 557, New York, N.Y.
10036.
Sulzberger is survived by his
wife, Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger,
four children, 13 grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren.
The children are Arthur Ochs
Sulzberger, president and pub
lisher of the Times; Mrs.
Andrew Heiskell of New York,
Mrs. Ruth Sulzberger Golden of
Chattanooga, Tenn., and Mrs.
Richard N. Cohen of Stamford,
Conn.
Sulzberger was publisher of
the Times from 1935 to 1961.
The newspaper’s daily circula
tion rose from 465,078 in 1935 to
1,025,873 this year. During the
same period, Sunday circulation
increased from 713,259 to
1,579,994.
Sulzberger, born into a well
to-do and socially prominent
New York family on Sept. 12,
1891, attended a Manhattan
public school and earned a B.S.
degree from Columbia Universi
ty.
He enlisted in the army
during World War I, took officer
training at Plattsburgh, N.Y.,
and was commissioned a second

Carolina, he married the only
child of the Times’ renowned
publisher, Adolph S. Ochs. After
the war, at the age of 27. He
joined the Times as assistant to
the General Manager.
In later years, he offered a
joking formula for success:
“You work very hard, you
never watch the clock, you
polish up the handle of the big
front door. And you marry the
boss’s daughter. That is how I
did it.”

LBJ Could
Clear Way For
Nixon Pay Hike
WASHINGTON (UPD—
Congressional sources said to
day President Johnson’s gift to
Richard M. Nixon as his
successor could be a pay raise
of $50,000 or more.
Under present law the pres
ident gets a salary of SIOO,OOO a
year plus $50,000 for expenses.
A government pay commission
has recommended that the
salary be doubled.
Under the Constitution a
president’s pay cannot be
changed during his term of
office. Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-
Johnson would therefore recom
mend fast action on a presiden
tial pay raise by the 91st
Congress before Nixon takes
office Jan. 20.
Udall thought the recommend
ed increase would be about half,
or possibly a little more than
half, of the SIOO,OOO pay boost
proposed by the commission.
In other areas the commis
sion’s recommended pay raises,
after possible modification by
Johnson, will go into effect
automatically unless Congress
takes action to stop them.
They include: salaries of
House and Senate members to
go from $30,000 to $50,000;
cabinet members, from $35,000
to $60,000; district judges, from
$30,000 to $47,500; Supreme
Court associate justices from
$39,500 to $05,000; the Chief

Six Dances Planned
For Nixon Inaugural
By MARGARET A. KILGORE
WASHINGTON (UPD —
Richard M. Nixon’s social debut
as president will be an evening
of dancing, handshaking and
waving to wellwishers as he
leads his family on a tour of six
inaugural balls a few hours
after he takes the oath Jan. 20.
Inaugural chairman Mark
Evans said Wednesday that
Nixon plans to attend each of
six $35-per-person dances—de
corated in silver, white and gold
—scheduled at five downtown
Justice, from $40,000 to $67,500.
Congress created the pay
commission last year as away
to duck the ticklish issue of
periodically raising their own
salaries. Members last raised
their pay in 1964 from $22,500 to
the current $30,000.
The liberality of the proposed
increases shocked some lawma
kers and raised doubts whether
their adoption will be as
automatic as had been planned.
Rep. Udall, who was in
strumental in drafting the
legislation last year, said he
would ask Johnson to trim the
proposed congressional payscale
to $40,000 or less. “Otherwise.”
He said, “Congress will never
let it go into effect.”

logy.
Evans said about 27,000
invitations addressed to persons
who helped elect the Republican
ticket will be dropped into the
mail next week. He said tickets
were being apportioned on the
basis of recommendations re
ceived from campaign coornina
tors across the country.
HEART PATIENT UNSATIS
FACTORY
CAPE TOWN, South Africa
(UPD—Petrus Smith, South
Airica’s third heart transplant
patient, underwent tests today
in the sterile ward of Groote
Schuur Hospital. A hospital
spokesman said testing so far
had “proved unsatisfactory”
although Smith’s body was not
rejecting the new heart.
INDONESIAN PLANS
DJARKATA (UPD—lndonesia
hopes to increase its trade with
East Asia and Australia to
improve its balance of pay
ments position, according to
Trade Department marketing
director Subroto. He mentioned
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and
Australia as leading potential
markets.
The Democrats held only five
inaugural balls in 1964, using
the barn-like National Armory
for one of them. Decorating
difficulties this year forced the
Republicans to replace the
armory with another hotel and
to add the Smithsonian’s
Museum.
The president-elect and vice
president-elect Spiro T. Agnew
expect to wear white tie and
tails to the gala events but
black tie and tuxedos will be
permitted for 6ther guests.
“We had to make black tie
optional,” explained Evans.
“We figured there weren’t
enough white ties on the whole
east coast to accommodate the
crowd.”
Evans also joked about the 25
orchestras that will be hired
eventually to play alternately aX
the balls and other inaugural
events. He said he had learned
since becoming chairman of the
inaugural committee that Nixon
“has 1,682,000 close friends and
one half of them are orchestra
leaders.”
Among those orchestras hired
at cut-rate prices, he said, were
those led by Les Brown, Meyer
Davis, Duke Ellington, Lionel
Hampton, Sammy Kaye, Doc
Severnson and Billy Butterfield.
