SAFETY IS KEYNOTE
OF A. A. A. SESSION
President Declares Protec-
ton More Pressing Than
Prohibition or Farm Aid.

The platform of motoring principles
adopted by the American Automobile
Association at its twenty-sixth annual
convention held recently in Cincinnati.
had the two words National Safety
written all over 1t.
That organized motordom, consisting
Of 1854 motor clubs and State motor
associations. united under the A. A. A.,
would make safety the predominating
issue, became apparent when in his
annual address to the convention at
its initial session, Thomas P. Henry of
Detroit, reelected president, declared
that safety and not prohibition or farm
relief Is the most pressing problem con-
fronting the American people today.
Even before the resolutions committee
had time to bring in its report the con-
vention adopted by reclamation reSo-
luton indorSing national adoption at
the earliest possible moment Of the
uniform traffic code developed by the
Hoover conference on Municipal trafic
ordinances, which has now been prac-
tically completed and will be proniul-
gated following a meeting OF the COM
mittee in Washington July 5, s and 4.
Code Follows Address.
The sponsorship of the code came
after a brief address by William E.
Metger OF Detroit. who is chairman Of
the Hoover committee.
In outlining the safety work on which
the A. A. A. will concentrate its major
effort for the next - months It was
agreed that priority OF attention should
be given to education. scientific engi-
neering studies and the strict enforce
rnent Of traffic laws.
Notice was served By the convention
that the time has come 10 put stop
To the indiscriuinate shooting OF limo
cent motorists by law officers and
agents and a ringing resolution was
adopted IN favor OF nationwide laws
that viii compel all officers and agents
patroliing the highways to wear dis
tinctive uniform in order that their
identity may be instantly revealed 10
60 motoring public.
Define Road Policy.
One Of the most important declara-
tons made By the convention dealt
with the future road policy of the ma
ton. looking beyond the completion of
the Federal Aid system. A resolution
was unanimously adopted calling for
the appointment Of national A. A. A.
committee 70 develop plan for a con-
tinuing and progressively enlarging pro-
gram OF national highways.
At the same time the delegates
voiced disapproval of the Furlow Bill,
back of which there is believed TO be
o scheme which would foist a system
Of so-caIled toll highways on the motor
Ssts Of the country.
Another resolution cited the fact that
toll bridges are multiplying at an
alarming rate and placed the A. A. A.
on record In favor of using public
funds rather than private capital for
toll roads. should tolls be necessary for
construction and operation. The reso-
luton also sounded a warning against
the alleged over-capitalization of private
toll bridge corporations.
