Back in the gay nineties when the

most popular ballyhoo stunt was to
Grive-while blindfolded-a team of
ealloping horses down Main street.
There are motor drivers who seem
to be trying to do about the same
thing today. They don't drive horses,
Of course, and they don't wear blind
folds. But they do let snow. Ice and
heavy rains accumulate on their
windshields and blur their vision. In
which case they must simply trust TO
Lady Luck.
The importance OF the windshield
wiper Is quite generally under-esti-
mated. Even when it's in good work
ing order, snow or ice often accumu-
late faster than II can be carried of.
In which case there is only one safe
procedure Stop the car and clean
the windshield as often as Is neces-
ssry.

In reliable quarters ID WAS said
President Roosevelt had expressed
willingness for the bill to be changed
sufficiently to win approval OF the
committee and the House. The
measure has been frozen in the COM
mittee since II was tabled there by a
l3-to-l2 vote last week.

Main detectives sought by the I'D

seek to reconcile differences over the
bill. an informed source contended.
Chairman McSwsin of The House
Committee went with others inter-
ested In the legislation TO see the
President yesterday.
THE r. v. A. has gone far beyond
the fondest dreams OF Congress and
this committee" McSwain remarked
afterward They nave operated In
excess Of the language and intent Of
Congress along lines which Congress
would not have had ne constitutional |
authority TO approve.
Original Act Held Valid.
He contended the .,riginal T v. A.
act WAS constitutional. but that II
did not authorize he authority TO
undertake reforestatlon OF farmers
lands. improvement of cattle breeds
regional mosquito control programs
and the buying and selling Of power
distributing plants.
McSwain expressed doubt also as TO
the constitutionality of section Of

passed bv the Senate. which would
authorize T. " A. 20 acquire private
