'WADSW0RTH PLEADS
FOR U. S. EXPENSE CUT
Former Senator, in Radio Talk,
Attacks Capitalization of Gov
s4' ernment in Washington.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 8.-With the
plea that Government expenditures be
reduced ''to point where taxes can
be borne by the average man and
woman" former Senator James w.
Wadsworth, jr., of New York, yesterday
in a radio talk called on the American
people TO put halt to the further
Capitalization Of government in Wash
ington"
Mr.. Wadsworth spoke over coast
forecast network of the National
Broadcasting Co., starting radio cam
paign Of the American Taxpayers
League, non-partisan organization, to
make the Nation tax-ccnscious,"
He asserted recent Capitalization Of
American Government had caused the
the burdening Of the people with taxes.
There can be no question that the
Capitalization Of power In the Gov
ernment at Washington has been
going en- to an extraordinary degree
during the last 20 years." he said:
las government expands by leaps and
bounds, expenditures do likewise, and,
necessarily, taxes pile up in like de-
gree
THE multiplication of commissions,
boards and bureaus at Washington
since Roosevelt laid down the presi-
dency has been simply immense.
"Ycu may ask what all this has to
do with taxation. The money when
the Government spends does not fali
from the sky, nor is it picked up from
the streets. The Federal Government
today employs more than 100000 per
sons. exclusive OF the Army and Navy.
Their compensation and their other
expenditures come from
the pockets of the men and women
who work for a living"

WINTER GALE LASHES
SEA AND EASTERN U. S,

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December S.-Winter
cracked the whip-a biting northwest
gale--over the East today.
The wind, which at time attained q
velocity of so miles an hour, pushed
the thermometer down into the
twenties. There it will stay for awhile,
weather observers said.
Extending far to sea, the forceful
wind churned the ocean and caused
the delay of from "a to 36 hours of six
ocean liners scheduled to dock here
yesterday and today.
Only one liner, the Tuscania, man.
aged to force its way through the
storm. Capt William Rome said 1t was
zone of the toughest trips of my
experience"
In Canada the prairie provinces felt
the coolest weather of the season. In
Prince Albert it was 28 degrees below
zero and in Winnipeg Is below.
One death from exposure was re-

No one in the village knew a robbery

MARYLAND 1892 TAGS
GIVEN WEATHER TESTS
New License Plates to Be the
Choice of II Samples, Says
Purchasing Bureau.

Purchasing Bureau.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 10.-When
Maryland automobile owners receive
their 1882 license plates they will place
on. their machines the choice Of II
samples subjected to weather tests and
other examinations for the quality Of
enamel and metal by the State Pur-
chasing Bureau.
Next years tags will be the combina-
ton Of the background Of one sample
with the numerals of another.
Four sets Of each sample are printed
by prisoners at the penitentiary. Two
sets Immediately are sealed in en-
yelopes, while the others are mounted
on two wooden frames One frame Is
set up on the west side OF the tnsti-
tuition and one on the east. Then
they are exposed to the weather Tor
six or seven months.
At the end of that time the most
weathered frame Is sent to the State
Purchasing Bureau with the sealed
samples for comparison. This year the
frame contained samples ranging from
comparatively fresh ones to those on
which the background had faded and
the numerals had disappeared.
The samples Of two firms gave the
best results this year and they were
combined to form the tags for the
coming year.

The four Canadian provinces have fol.
lowed closely the provisions Of the "A.
A. A. bill, but at least half Of the en-
acting 10 States have omitted or varied
one or more of its important provisions.
This lack of uniformity in the fun
damental features Of the law is most
disturbing. 1t has resulted In much
adverse criticism against the safety-re-
sponSibility laws in general which is
unjustifed. 1t makes dificult the sys-
tematic interchange Of suspension rul-
ings between States and provinces. It
represents the greatest single menace !
foresee to the ultimate and complete

He particularly stressed the impor-
lance of sympathetic and efficient ad-
ministration of the law.
In the last analysis" he said. "thc
success and popularity OF the law de-
pends on the character of its admins
tration. If 1t is administered by Off
Gals who are sympathetic, believe in
IL and have adequate appropriations, its
administration will probably be good
and the law popular. Advocates of
Safety-responsibility legislation must
satisfy themselves that it will be we'll
administered; that the good will Of off,
Gals Is assured, and that sufficient funds
are appropriated to make its eficient
administration possible"

REGISTERED VEHICLES
TO SHOW A DECREASE
100000 Wornout Cars to Be
Junked, Prophesies
A. NJ. A.

This year, for the first time in auto
motive history. the number Of motor
vehicles registered at the end of De-
cember will show a decrease as COM
pared with the year before. This fact
is established by the research Of the
American Motorists Association, which
indicates totai registrations will be
100000 to 100000 less than at the end
of 1880 and below 26,500,000 for the
first time since the middle of 1929.
At the sams time, increased gasoline
consumption shows motorists are max
ing greater use of their cars than ever
before, and that the condition with re-
gard to reduced registrations Is but
temporary.
while Fall motor car sales are sea-
sonally good and more than two
disappearing from service will more
than offset new registrations" says
Thomas j. Keefe, general m@9ager OF
the A. NJ. A. What with car manu-
facturerS, dealers, motor vehicle author
tiles and owners themselves participant
ing in 1t on an unparalleled scale. junk
.ng is expected to reach three million
Iornout and unsafe cars. This happy
fact. in itself will reduce registrations
at the end Of the year."
1t was an increase in the sale OF
commercial vehicles and trucks that
kept the total registrations from show
ing a decline last year, the American
Motorists Association figures show.
Passenger cars licensed by the 4s
States and the District of Columbia
were slightly below the number in
1929. but the total for the year was
1900 above the previous years figures.
Pointing out that the result this year
will be the first of its kind since the
end of 1895 found four cars registered,
Mr.. Keefe declares.
THE present situation is indicative
of vast amount Of replacement buy
ing at the first sign of general improve
ment in conditions. Knowing that, the
automobile industry is not discouraged.
From the standpoint of safety, the
junking and retirement from service OF
old cars will have a decidedly whole
some effect. A decline in registration
figures for a short time is q small price
to pay for the broadly beneficial effects
that 1t will bring"

Not until good road manners are the
rule rather than the exception and it
becomes bad form for a pedestrian
or operator to be selfish, inconSiderate
or diScourteouS. may We expect an ap-
prechble reduction in the number of
injuries and fatalities suffered in auto
mobile accidents.
We must recognize the limitation of
the law of legislators and the inevita-
bility of the law OF averages. They
demonstrate that reduction in acct
dents must be accomplished through
education.
Operators and pedestrians alike
must become accident conscious and be
constantly aware of the dangers that
ere incident to increased use of auto
mobiles on streets and highways.
Fixed Toll Exacted.
With a definite percentage Of mat
tentive, careless, selfish or discourteous
operators using the streets, the law of
averages eXactS definite fixed toll.
Figures compiled by the National
Safety Council show gradual rise in
deaths caused by automobile accidents,
which have increased from approx
mately II deaths per 100000 persons
In 1920 to approximately 81 deaths per
00O0 persons in 1890
The number of de- tbs per 100. 900
registered automobiles from 1920 To
1880 ranged from log to 135, averaging
for the period 1l9 deaths for every
1000 cars.
This latter, obviously. is a more de-
pendable figure than the one obtained
by relating population to deaths by su-
tomobile accidents and indicates that
fatalities will rise with increased auto
mobile registration.
Imposition OF gasoline tax in many
OF the States has made possible a more
accurate figure for comparative studies
of traffic accidents.
The data are only available for three
years, but the tables compiled show
that for every 100000 gallons OF
gasoline consumed in this country there
are 81 deaths from accidents.
Recently Chester Fiske. seeking q
scientific method for the study of fac
tors involved in traffic accidents, de-
vised a Traffic Accident Index" baseC
on traffic volume and the number oil
accidents.
BY relating the number Of accidents
at a particular corner to the volume
of traffic at that point a figure is OBJ
tanned comparable with a like figure
from any other similar location.
Traffic Index Modified.
This traffic index Is modified some
what by other factors. For illustration
there is slight increase in the acct
dent index as the volume of pedestrian
traffic increases and a decrease as the
relation of vehicular to the pedestrian
traffic increases.
The studies made by the Nationa
Safety Council and Mr.. FiSke are aid;
to intelligent traffic regulation and con.

GAS KNOCKING TENDENCY
CAN NOW BE PREDICTED
Automotive Engineers Engaged in
Developing a Universally
Standard Method.

A movement of unusual interest to
motor car users, but which, due to its
technical surroundings, has had little
popular publicity, IS cooperative eff
fort on the part Of the automotive
engineers Of England and the United
States to determine and develop a
universally accepted standard method
for measuring the knocking" tendency
OF motor gaSolineS.
The Society Of Automotive Engineers
quietly has been working on the prob
lem for some time. BY its fuel re-
search and Standardization work 1t
has now nut into the possession Of
manufacturers and users a standard
method of grading fuels.
This accomplishment say the experts,
is one of the most important auto
motive achievements Of the decade and
will be reflected soon in the car owners
ability to specify power qualities in his
gasoline In the same manner that he
specifies exact requirements in other
commodities. Fuels will be bought by
"octane number"

A. A. A. SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
HELD EFFECTIVE INSTRUMENT
Universal Acceptance of Measure Urged
by Canadian Insurance Superintendent
at White Sui phur Meeting.

Universal acceptance of the A. A. A.
Sa1ety-responsihili law as a powerful
instrument for the promotion of high
way safety and an effective means of
compelling payment of compensation to
victims Of automobile accidents was
urged on the convention of insurance
underwriters and agents, in session here
today. by r. Leighton Foster, superin-
tendent Of insurance for the Province
OF Ontario, Canada.
History Outlined.
Mr.. Fosters address, in which he
outlined the history Of the measure.
the rapid progress 1t had made, the
extent to which it had side-tracked
agitation for compulsory automobile in
surance, the need for uniformity in the
provisions Of the law as among the
various States in this country and the
provinces of Canada, was the high light
OF the recent proceedings Of the joint
annual meeting of the International
Association of Casualty and Surety I'm
derwriters and the National Association
OF Casualty and Surety Agents.
L doubt" said Mr.. Foster, 'if any
new legislation has ever received so
promptly such striking evidence OF in
mobile safety-responsibility law"
Thorough Endorsement.
The Canadian expert opened his ad-
dress with thoroughgoing Endorsement
OF a statement recently made by the
Ontario commissioner Of motor vehicles
on the benefits accruing from the On
tario law. modelled on the A. A. A. bill,
as follows:
The law is working smoothly in on
tarto, according to its true intent and
purpose. No serious administration diff
hculties are being experienced. I know
OF no support in any quarter for q
radical revision Of the law along the
lines OF universal compulsory insurance
or otherwise, and I believe that future
refinementS in its provisions may be
expected to make 1t one of the most
effective instruments yet conceived to
promote safety on our highways and to
assure compensation to the victims of
motor vehicle accidents"
Effect in Is States.
Citing the fact that the law Is now
in effect in 18 States in this country
and four Canadian provinces, Mr.. Fos-
ter declared that uniformity in its pro-
visions Is essential to achieve its maxi
mum possibilities.
Nonresident motorists" he con-
tinued, ARE too numerous in all States
and provinces for it to be otherwise.
