24 Tickets 120 MPH Chase Lands Man In County Jail
A 21 year old Latin American man led Lubbock police on a high speed chase from Lubbock to Idalou and Buffalo Lakes reaching 120 mph before being stopped near Lubbock. He was jailed in Lubbock County awaiting Justice Court and Corporation Court hearings after receiving 24 traffic tickets. A similar deadly crash last week involved a vehicle pursuit ending with a pole collision on Amarillo Highway injuring five and killing a girl the next day. The chase began when police spotted a 1959 convertible drag racing near E Broad Way and Quirt Ave then reached speeds of 100 and 120 mph as it headed toward Idalou Road. Authorities clocked the car at 9 mph in a 40 mph zone earlier and 80 mph in another zone. The driver also accumulated five other traffic violations.

East West Turning Point Seen In A Test Ban Pact
Dean Rusk on Sunday night said the limited nuclear test ban treaty reached in Moscow marks a turning point toward wider Western agreement. It does not reduce stockpiles or prevent a nuclear war or arms race, but it imposes ceilings and may open further questions for exploration. He emphasized not negotiating without all nations’ participation and reaffirmed NATO’s defense commitments. Edward Teller also was heard.
