The President said that the scoop

Bowl He personally carried to the
foot ball field q hand press and ran
off on the spot an edition carrying
an account of the game.
The college editors grouped about
the Presidents desk in his office to
hear the story. Before leaving, they
were photographed with him.
Talks With l.. S. U. Editor.
Just before the group departed, the
President asked if there was anyone
present from Louisiana. In reply. he
was introduced to Jesse H. Cutrer, who
recently was removed as editor o1
the Louisiana State University paper
allegedly because of uncompliment-
ary references in his publication te
Senator Huey Long.
AS he was leaving the White House,
Cutrer told newspapermen he was
fired because he gave true ver-
sion in his newspaper of an agree
ment reached between Senator Long
and university officials on censorship

A renewed effort for enactment Of a
general financial responsibility law for
automobile owners will be made by
the Commissioners at the forthcom-
ing session of Congress as an i'm
portant phase of their campaign to
reduce the death toll on District high
ways.
A special plea for passage Of this
measure will be made by the Commis-
sioners in presenting their District
legislative program, which has been
whipped into shape. during the past
six months by Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman.
The financial responsibility bill
would require persons found guilty Of
failing to pay damages in traffic cases
and those convicted Of driving while
drunk or leaving the scene Of acci-
dent to show financial responsibility
before they again would be given legal
permission to drive a motor vehicle.
Methods Of Responsibility.
While the measure Is of some length,
to cover all necessary legal angles.
this is the primary feature Of the
plan:
Financial responsibility could be
shown by the securing of an automo-
bile liability insurance policy, the
posting of bond, either by a surety
company or individual sureties holding
real property, or by the posting of a
cash deposit with District Supreme
Court.
The purpose Of the proposed meas
ure Is to eliminate from the field of
drivers those found guilty of great
negligence or carelessness and those
who cannot show financial RESPONSE
bility as operators of machines capable
of causing death or serious personal
or property damage. At the same
time, those drivers who operate their
vehicles with due caution and expert
ness would not be required to bear
the cost of insurance or bond.
The measure has the backing Of the
Automobile Association and
other groups concerned with
the safety of highways. The bill was
presented to Congress at the past ses-
sion and was passed by the House, but
died in the Senate.
Gives Judgments Force.
The situation was somewhat compli-
Gated last year by the separate bill to
require operators Of taxicabs to show
financial responsibility. This was
killed IN the House which saw no
necessity for the measure, since taxi.
