Motor Vehicle Survey Checkers Present Detail Sum mary of Common Faults After Recent Disclosures

During Che period from March 1< to April 6 fifty motor vehicle survey checkers stationed in differ. ent parts of the state uncovered 1S.e5e instances of bad driving practices, according to . report made public to-day by Commits sioner Michael A. Connor of the state department of motor vehicles. The checkers were stationed on important roads connecting with adjoining states. An analysis of the summary, according to the commissioner, reveals approxi- mately the same percentage of faults as are brought to light by the complaints received regularly from various police authorities and the members of the Citizen Voian- teer Patrol.
 The growing menace of "one- eye' cars Is shown by the 1929 pleasure cars and 151 trucks but the absence of any headlamps on thirty-nine cars and seven trucks indicates an alarming absence of a sense of responsibility to other traffic. Lack of recognition of traffic controls is emphasized by the 1,2SS cars and 260 trucks passing the lights and the 2.630 cars and 482 trucks that swept heedlessly by stop signs.

 Aroused by assertions of Senator Carter Glass, D., Va, that the ad- ministration was not taking full ad- vantage of its power to aid closed banks, officials renewed their &C., tivity in behalf of the depositors. The situation is connected with the strong house sentiment for the Mcleod bill, which would have the federal government pay off $3,000,- 100000 in frozen deposits. By de- yising way to help depositors under the present law, the admin.

To the memory of Katherine Gloster Burns. Into the Tree of Yggdrasil,
 Whose boughs bear Asgard blue, The winging souls of all she loved,
 On earth, in brief hour flew. But in her empty heart-nest brave
 A song she breathed The severing sword of death, with
 song
 Her brave soul sheathed. Remembering a little lad
 Whose starry dream-filled eyes Closed, in the Hitting floods that

 Her lovely 1ullabyes. All other little ones she loved;
 On bruised wee feet She fitted magic shoes of song
 With patient fingers sweet. Above the Tree of Yggdrasil, Her faint swan song now floats; White birds, Gods far-side of the stars
 Echo her deep soul notes. Across the -flowered Asgard meads, Her winged lad now bounds; His mothers voice, blest song of songs Tn his rapt ears now sounds.

SCRIP CONCERN
 WAS RUINED BY GOOD BUSINESS
Government Recovery Has Put Company Almost
 on the Rocks
BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

'
 Salt Lake City, Utah, April 19- (UP)-Business improvement has almost ruined the national develop ment association, 8 one-time mil- lion dollar swap" organization. B. B.. Stringham, founder and mana ger, said today.
 A year ago the N. D. A. operated in five western states and made 1t possible for hundreds of fami- lies to earn living without money. Today, according to Stringham, 1t is in danger of dying unless fed eral relief grant saves 1t.
 And, strangely enough, federal aid, such as the association seeks, is named by Stringham as con- tributing to the associations slump. :.
 The idea of the N. D. A. was to trade labor, material and profess sional services. Scrip called bar tex' was used
 'We find," Stringham said. "that since the federal government has appropriated money for various di- rect relief programs that people prefer waiting. They may work for cash rather than work and &C., cept our bartex."
 How the association functioned:
 "A carpenter repaired our office. He was paid in the equivalent of $20 in bartex. The carpenter paid his rent with 1t. The landlord paid his dentist bill. The dentist had his office painted and cleaned up. and the man who worked for the dentist used it in buying furniture"
 The INDIA, at its peak a year ago, had offices in Salt Lake City, ogden, Utah, Pocatello. Ida, Sacra- mento, Cal, Phoenix. Ariz. Seattle, Wash, and smaller branches else where. All but three-Salt Lake City, Ogden and Pocatello-have closed.
 The INDIA. pays no cash salaries. Stringham accepts bartex for man aging the organization, as do labor CT members.
