To His Excellency
MYERS Y. COOPER
The Governor of Ohio.
Your Excellency -:
Representing the 10000 good
Americans of Hungarian descent
who live in Youngstown, Ohio we
elected representatives of four
Hungarian churches and 13 Hun
garian organizations to perman-
ent body known as the Grand
Committee of Hungarian Church
es and Societies of Youngstown,
Ohio in meeting assembled on on
the 18th day of April 1929 passed
the following resolution by un-
animous vote:
Whereas, there is now confined
in the state pcmitontiary at
Columbus, Ohio, on John Szabo,
from the City of Akron, Ohio,
condemnd to die in the electric
chair on May 3rd 1929; and
Whereas the Grand Committee
of the Hungarian Churches and
Societies of Youngstown, Ohio has
caused an investigation into the
circumstances of the crime for
which the said John Szabo has
been foun guilty and was con-
demned to die, and
Whereas after receiving a full
and comprehensive report of this
investigation it appears to us, that
there is more than a reasonable
doubt as ito the guilt of the said
John Szabo, and
Whereas We are convinced, that
in the course" of time the absolute
innocence Of this unfortunate
young man the said John Szabo
will be fully established.
Therefore we good and loyal
citizens of our great State of Ohio
do pray to You our Governor to
invoke Your executive right to
grant mercy and clemency to the
said John Szabo and thereby give
him and us joined by all the
Hungarian born living in the State
of Ohio and in the United States
the opportunity to prove the said
John SZabo innocent of any wrong
doing much less of cruel and
wanton murder for which he is
condemned to pay with his young
life.
We beseech You our Governor
to grant our prayer with COM
passion in your heart toward
this unfortunate young man,
victim of cruel circumstances.
May God, he who sits in final
judgement over us mortals,
bless You and grant you clear
insight into the soul of John
Szabo that You for yourself
may judge his innocence and
grant him and us his life.
Be it further resolved that
Ernest N. Nemenyi, member Of
the Grand Committee of the
Hungarian Churches and Societies
of Youngstown Ohio is hereby
appointed and empowered to
present this resolution to His
Excellency the Governor of Ohio
in our name and behalf.

GAINS IN MEMBERS

long to Local Branch.
$4,000 Calls Answered.

A notable increase In membership
and a significant expansion of services
given to members have characterized
the work of the District of Columbia
division of the American Automobile
Association during the year 1928. These
features of its activity signify a fuller
| recognition of its capability for service
to the motorist.
1t is the purpose of the motor club to
equip itself to be of genuine benefit to
those who drive automobiles. Whether
1t consists in aiding them when they
have fat tire, desire touring informa-
ton, or stand in need of legal advice,
the club deems it its duty to respond
to the demand for its facilities.
In point Of membership, the advance
during 1923 has been truly remark
able. The total now stands at $4,000.
as compared with approximately $4,000
a year ago. In effecting this gain, club
officials feel that the increase of so
per cent is further evidence that the
services which the organization offers
nave proved their worth in a very ma
terial way.
Road Service Gains.
The emergency road service shows
significant record for service when the
member most needs it. During the
year there were $4,000 calls to which
A. A. A. offlcial stations responded. This
represents an increase of more than 80
per cent over 1927.
The touring bureau, another valuable
A. A. A. service, has shown a suhstan-
tial increase In the number of calls
upon its facilities. Its staff of trained
touring counselors have been kept busy
even during the Autumn and early
Winter months answering a large num-
Der OF requests for information. During
the height of the touring season these
totaled more than 5000 in a single
month. But In September they were
1900 and even in November they still
totaled 5000.
Brake testing and headlight adjust
ment have given the District division
an opportunity to play its part in max
ing the use Of motor car safer. Dur
ing the year there was $500 brakes adj
1usted and approximately 1900 head
lights adjusted. In line with its policy
to be Of service to its membership
wherever possible, the club has con-
tlnued its work of getting registration
tags Tor its members and has main

ROAD BUILDING
CONVENTION TOPIC
Highway Builders to Discuss
Their Work From View.
point of Motorists.

Highway construction in the United
States, from the motorists viewpoint.
and the need for closer cooperation be-
tween the motorists and the highway
builders of the country, will be one Of
the major problems discussed at the an
nual convention and road show Of the
American Road Builders Association, to
be held in Cleveland beginning next
week. The viewpoint Of the $4,000, 900
motorists of the country will be ex-
pressed to the $4,000 delegates by
Thomas j. O'Keefe, general manager
of the American Motorists Association.
The rapid increase in automobile
registration and the ever increasing toll
of human life which the automobile Is
taking annually presents to the motor
list. the road builder and the public
alike, problem which must be con-
stantly under consideration" Mr.. Keefe
declares.
Mechanically the automobile is near
ing perfection. The bulk of autonno-
bile accidents are caused by human
nature and physical highway conditions.
The one is slow to change. The other
is problem squarely up to the highway
highway accidents despite the human
trait of carelessness Of the average mo-
torist. Elimination of dangerous curves,
steep grades and narrow bridges are all
highway engineering problems and con-
tributing factors towards the automobile
death rate during 1928 of 22.5 persons
per 100000 population"
Another large factor In highway acci-
dents. Mr.. Keefe points out, is the mar
rowness of many highways. Sometimes
this is the fault of the engineer, but
more often the fault of the State, county
or city governments in not appropriate
ing sufficient funds to build a wider
highway or to build heels on highways
already constructed"
Wider highways, the elimination Of
dangerous features of highways already
and now being built and an enlarged
highway building program are the prime
requisites for the immediate need Of the
millions Of motorists of the United
States, Mr.. Keefe declares.

HOLIDAYS REDUCE
AUTO ACTIVITIES
Conditions in Parts and Ac.
Cessories Show Little
Change.

The general nature of conditions in
the parts and accessories division of
the automotive industry shows but lit
tie change as compared with last week,
according to B. H. Cram, president of
Grams Automotive Reports, Inc.
Production has been reduced as a re-
suit Of the Christmas holiday break
ing into the working period of the week
and this situation has given manufac-
turers an excuse for suspending opera
tons entirely for the current week and
the coming week in order to accom-
plish the taking of inventory.
A number of the larger producers,
however, are working on full-time
schedules, with night shifts operating
to maintain a normal weeks output.
AS result the inactivity of a few of
the manufacturers has not seriously
affected production levels for the in
dustry as whole. A rapid step-up in
output is anticipated with most of the
plants now closed resuming activities
on major scale.
The sales situation continues to be
ing substantial releases for January and
sufficient inquiries covering February
and March commitments to give those
months good outlook. Original equip
ment business, which provides the bulk
of the industry's activity at the present
time, is being fairly we'll maintained
with only a slight degree of curtail
ment noticed during the current week
In spite of this situation. however, the
volume Of sales is seasonally high and
we'll above this period last year.
The current retail market can be
characterized as comparatively dull
which is, of course. only following the
normal seasonal trend. There will
probably be no further decline in re-
tail sales from this time forward.
Despite the fact that consumer de-
mand fell off in December as COM
pared with November. the present vol
un1e of business is substantially heavier
than during the corresponding period
last year.

DESTROY OLD AUTO TAGS,
VIRGINIA DIRECTOR WARNS
Owners Can Save Themselves
Trouble by Placing Markers
Beyond Reach Of Thieves.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 5.-The
Director of the Division of Motor We
hicles desires to bring to the attention
of the automobile owners the impor-
lance of destroying their old auto tags
to prevent them from falling into the
hands of some violator and thus en-
barraSs the owner.
Each year when the change over oc-
ours there is an epidemic of car thefts
caused by the ease of the automobile
thief In getting hold of these tags,
which should be destroyed.
The director also desires to impress
on the owners the importance of plac-
ing the new tags on the machines in
unrestricted view, as instructions are
going out to all the road men to appre-
bend every car driven with obscured
tags. This is violation OF the law and
subject to fine If taken into court.

ganized since the schools opened in

valuable work in protecting the smaller

many motorists have commended their
worth.

has continued to supply teachers with
lessons in safety education.
The legal department of the District
division handled more than 800 claims
during the year, and aided in the set

claims. 1t has at all times endeavored

BY r. J. ALLEN.


As you motor downtown in the morn
ing or home in the evening have you
ever wondered as you passed the various
might be thinking? Some look stern,
some jolly, but I'll bet you were sure
that each and every one was concen-
trating on the problem of trying to
keep their particular corner clear and
using any spare time they might have
to try and spot possible traffic code
violators
OF course, they should have been
thinking along those lines, and some
times maybe they were, but like as
not their thoughts were far, far away
from what has become, to them, the
purely mechanical job of directing

own thoughts and observations one
wander far away from traffic duty, as
you will note, but most all Of them were

when Old King Winter rolls around
with his frosty breath, and the trees,
standing stark and somber, their bare
branches etched sharply against the
chill sky, serve as constant reminders
that nature has discarded her smile for
a while, them, too, sometimes feel
sonber and gray as well. Somehow or
other, Winter often makes me feel visit
full and fills me with longing for the

NAVAL TECHNICIANS HIT.
British Opinion Sees Them as Bar to

British Opinion Sees Them as Bar to
Accord With u. S.
LONDON, April IS (P.-The naval
reduction proposal of the United States
continued today to hold paramount
place in public discussion, with two
phases of the problem attracting par
ticular attention.
These were, whether the present gov
eminent should take the initiative in
treating on the basis of the proposals
or wait until after the general election
May 80, and whether the naval experts
would be allowed to decide the points
at issue.
The Daily Express, which said it had
learned the cabinet yesterday consid-
cred the proposals advanced by Ambas-
sador Hugh S. Gibson and would en-
power Lord Cushendun to communicate
its views to him, urged expedition in
answering the proposals.
On the other hand. the Times, which
has been among the warmest advocates
of the American proposals, sounded a
note Of caution against emotional
vision of happy ending in few
magical moments" declaring, 1.-The wise
will expect delay while resolved to show
no mercy to procraStination."
Widespread feeling against the mat
ter being handled by the experts has
already been voiced in the press. Today
the times reiterated its emphatic view
that naval technicians will be unable
to dispose of difficulties which Ambas-
sador Gibson and President Hoover In
common with all reasonable minds de-
fine as task for craftsmanship"

delegates got the impression he wanted
French airplanes stationed in Morocco
and other Mediterranean colonies con-
sidered as home units.
I'VE must know" he said. whether
airplanes can be made available as part
of home forces"
Count Massigli objected to any f1xa-
ton of the criterion Of distance and in
sisted this belonged to the domain Of
a possible later international confer
ence on disarmament.
Soviet Proposal Rejected.
An amendment by the soviet delega-
ton that a reduction of airplanes and
dirigibles should be appreciate as
compared with those in existence on
January /, 1929 caused Hugh S. Gibson.
the American representative, to arise
and characterize it as outside the COM
petence Of the preparatory commission.
IF We were not in favor Of reduction,
We should not be here" said Mr.. Gibson.
The Soviet suggestion was rejected.

favor.
