MINES TURN WASTE INTO

THE SAFE DRIVERS CODE

There is one badly needed code
which will not have to await an
official signature. 1t a If cts
every person in the country. and
its adoption should be unanim.
Gus. 1t is THE Safe Drivers
Code"
Accident statistics reported to
June 80, 1888, according to the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters, showed
that 1920 persons had been
killed by automobiles this year.
The indications. judging from
unofficial reports in July and
August, are that final results
may show a decided increase in
death and accidents for 1888.
This is doubly significant, be.
cause there are nearly 10 per
cent fewer automobiles register.
ed in the United States this year
than in 1881.
To motorists, therefore, and to
pedestrians and all users of our
streets and highways. the follow
ing code is directed:
l. Regulate your speed to
fit traffic conditions; keep your
car under control at all tim es.
2. Slow down for intersec-
tions, and obey traffic signals.
3. Use better Judgment in
passing. waiting until there is
at least 500 feet of clear distance
ahead.
4. Pedestrians: Cross at cross
walks; walk on the left side fac
ing ira tfic; obey traffic signals.
5. Remember that automobile
accidents constitute an economic
waste totaling billions, through
property damage, high insurance
costs, increased taxes, etc.
Every motorist should feel
that it is his daty and privilege
to pledge himself to this code.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
NEW NRA BOARD
HAS POWER TO
ENFORCE CODES
Compliance Group Backed
by Justice, Trade
Departments.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-A new
division of NRA, backed by the full
powers Of the justice department
and the federal trade commission,
was created today to enforce codes
and prevent price-gouging.
Establishment of a permanent
code enforcement organization, to
be known as the compliance divi-
sion, was ordered by Administrator
Hugh S. johnson. He himself will
head the division until a permanent
compliance director is appointed.
Mr.. Johnson also moved to in
crease NRA's efficiency by grouping
his eighteen deputy administrators
under four divisional administrators
This was expected to speed up COM
pletion of nearly two hundred pend
ing codes and free Johnson for en-
forcement activities.
Regional Agencies Set
Under the compliance division
will be a system of regional COM
pliance agencies. Pending organiza-
ton Of these agencies, the twelve
district managers of the commerce
department were designated to serve
as district compliance directors.
There also will be a system of
local boards Or committees to deal
primarily with consumers COM
plants against excessive price in
creases. Present local compliance
will continue to handle violations of
temporary presidential re-employ-
ment agreements.
Three on Board
Under the procedure outlined by
Mr.. Johnson, regional agencies will
seek to adjust violations or, upon
authorization of the compliance di-
rector, refer them to the code au-
thority for the industry concerned
If no settlement is effected, the
charges will be forwarded to Wash
ington.
The compliance director will be
aided by one member of the in
dustrial advisory board and one
member of the labor advisory board
comprising a national compliance
board which will have a choice OF
action.

DELAYS ACTION
IN UTILITY CASE
Boards Short Cut Proves
Failure; Regular Hear
ina Set.

Public Counselor Sherman Min
tons so-called short cut" to rate
reductions has resulted in a public
service commission order today for
a regular old-fashioned rate hear
ing.
Mr.. Minton's method of procedure,
whereby the company was to show
cause why rates were too high, was
launched last June in a case in
volving 270 cities and towns in
southern Indiana served by the
Public Service Company of Indiana
After hearing the company evil
dence, the commission concluded
yesterday that cause for present
rates had not been shown. Their
power to issue temporary rate re-
duction order was not invoked
however. Instead, they served no
tice of regular rate hearing.
This can not be launched, under
the law, in less than twenty days
from the time notice is served
1t will involve auditS and apprais-
ais and may drag on for many
months, if past procedure is fol-
lowed, it was said.
Meanwhile, the rates remain as
Mr.. Minton found them through his
