Would you like to get ain" on the
secret of traffic accident causes? Well,
here are four Of them, and they are
nightly important, too.
/. Inattention.
2. Inexperience.
3. Incompetency.
4. Indifference.
Inattention Is probably the out
standing cause Of motor vehicle
deaths and injuries today. The day
dreamer, the scenery watcher, the
driver who talks too much, the fellow
whose mind runs around in circles
all of these and others are an easy
prey to distractions.
Inexperience exacts heavy toll, too,
as does incompetency, but just keep in
mind that incompetency does not
necessarily mean inexperience. There
are a great many dumb" drivers to-
day who have been at the wheel fol
years. They continue to be q menace
to safety because Of luck and also
because the State In which they live
has no provision for examining drivers.
Less than half the States have stand
ard drivers license laws at the present
time.
Indifference, inspired by selfishness

As for Mr. Hull, his close associates
have noticed that he now tightens his
lips every time the name of Peek Is
mentioned From past experience,
they Judge that the real fight Is about
to start. They are offering odds of 8
to on Hull, and some are going so
far as to predict Mr.. Peek's ultimate
resignation.

Norris OF Nebraska, lost manu-
script that he had marked tn
preparation for speech. A clerk

Senator it he toas sure he had not
left it at home tUhen changing

"No, am sure about that. be-

Congressional leaders are so anxious
to get away that they have been talk
ing privately about a plan to adjourn
soon and have o special session in
November. This kind of talk gener-
ally arises at this time Of the year.
The work has been heavy. The job
ahead Is going to be tedious and
distasteful.
MIR. Roosevelt viii probably veto the
idea He has made no plans for the
Summer beyond an indefinite promise
to visit the San Diego Exposition. It
has not been announced, but he
expected to make this trip In July.
He cannot delay 1t.
The Senate has lately been getting
nowhere more rapidly than usual. 1t
has spent most of its recent weeks in
considering the anti-lynching bill, the
Bankhead farm tenant bill and the
Copeland pure food bill, without get
ting to o vote on any Of them. Days
were spent debating the measures,
yet they are now right back where
they started. Only two big bills have
been passed in four months-the relief
bill and the bonus. This Is something
Of q record, even for this most delib-
erative Of all deliberstive bodies.

TURKS TODEMAND
ARMS FOR STRAITS
Convention Will Be Sought
at Rome, They Inform
Balkan Entente.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, May 13.-Turkey
served notice today on the states
constituting the Balkan pact that
she intends to demand at the forth
coming Rome conference the right to
refortify the Dardanelles.
Turkey will ask conclusion of a
new convention on rearmament of the
straits connecting Europe ami Asia
to replace the Lausanne convention Of
1929.
At the Balkan Pact Conference TO-
day, Tewfik Rushdi Bey, Turkish for
eign minister, explained Turkey wants
to rearm the Dardanelles purely as
q peace measure and not for offen-
sive purposes. -
Formidable Arms Sought.
The Turkish statesman surprised
the delegates by saying Turkey de-
mands the right not only TO have mo-
bile police along both sides Of the
Dardanelles, but also airplane bases,
undersea mines, submarine stations,
underground military defenses and
network Of modern communications.
This would make the Dardanelles
even more formidable than they were
before the World War.
Tewfik argued that the Lausanne
agreement is not a peace treaty, but
| q convention susceptible to amend
ment. Therefore, he said, if Turkey
rearmed the Dardanelles she could
not be accused of breaking treaties
Apparently Turkey intends to use
her demands for rearmament of the
Dardanelles at the Rome conference
in connection with similar demands
from Bulgaria and Hungary for re-
habilitation of the national defenses
Of the latter two.
Lever for Balkan Pact
Turkeys militarization plar. will
also be used, it is understood as a
lever on behalf Of the Balkan pact
countries to assure:
l. Signing of a convention for Sc
curity Of the states Of the Little En-.
tente and Balkan bloc.
2. Conclusion of a proposed Medi-
terranean pact
3. Creation Of a Black Sea pact.
4. Establishment Of a pact OF nom
| aggression and mutual assistance
which would exclude any possibility
Of Hungary and Bulgaria attempting
to change their present frontiers.
Another development at the con-
ference was an agreement between
Rumania and YugoSlavia to construct
a joint steel bridge over the Danube
near the famous iron gates.
This would have not only great
strategic importance in the event Of q
war. but also enormous influence on
trade and trafic between the two
countries.

The big boss" title given Walker
appears to be an exaggeration. His
real task apparently is to act as q
polite buffer against all the governors
mayors, politicians and others clam
oring for money for their home prof.
ects. He is to keep these people from
annoying the President, Ickes and
Hopkins.
His office Is merely a reception
room where applicants can cool their
heels. After he receives their applica-
Independent bureaus operated by Hop
kins, Ickes ct al. The applications GO
through a mill of examinations and
are finally reported to the general
board meeting, at which President
Roosevelt presides.
Apparently Walker cannot ap-
prope or diSdpproue OF anything
important. His duties, therefore.
toiH be largely secretdrtal and CO.
ordtndtiue rather than executive.
The man who will do the bulk Of
the spending is Hopkins. His eager
personality will operate the major
portion of the show behind the skirts
of Messrs. Roosevelt and Walker
The President will make all the big
decisions at first, but he will do SO
on recommendations. Eventually, the
major burden will undoubtedly shift
to Hopkins shoulders because the
President cannot spare the time re-
quired Admiral Peoples is. in q
way, to be a sort of assistant to Hop
kins.
Ickes will only do the alloting Of

regime appears to be is this: A re-
organization Of old relief agencies,

and Peoples) IN control Of the ma
chinery, but under changed conditions,
where they will be administrators
instead Of dictators.
The foreign trade conflict between
Messrs Hull and Peek Is not yet over,
but soon may be.
The Peek report, which was given
out at the White House q week ago,
seems to be bringing the issue to q
climax. If not a conclusion. The fact
that the President gave out the report
caused insiders to feel at first that
he approved it. This conclusion seems
to have been hasty. Apparently Mr..
Roosevelt gave it out after glance at
Mr.. Peek's summary, but has since
received advices from Mr.. Hull's
friends. And they are going around
whispering charges that Peek dis
torted Commerce Department trade
figures in order to discredit Hull's
foreign trade policies.

Walker to Sift Relief Ap.
plicants-Hull-Peek
Showdown Near.
BY PAUL MALLON.

- EVERAL yards of executive
orders and statements have
been issued about the new Or
~ ganization which is going to
spend the four billion dollars
of relief money, but these cast little
light ON it. Every one connected with
this greatest of all governmental ven-
lures has had a rather hazy private
idea about who was to be top man
among the new doughboys.
1t was originally announced that
ex-Co-ordinator Frank Walker was
the man. This was amended later to
indicate that the President himself
was to be the guiding genius. Finally,
word has come that the newly organ
lied board. meeting with the Presi-
dent, is to run the outfit. Positions
In that set-up have been publicly
awarded to Messrs. IckeS, Hopkins,
Peoples and others, but these ap-
pointments have only beclouded specu-
lation as to what the real influence
OF each was supposed to be.
Clouds Evaporated.
These clouds have begun to evapo-
rate in the private conferences which
are being held. You can begin to
see what may be expected. The fol-
lowing thumb-nail outline does not
jibe with what the Government press
agents have been saying, and is q
fair summation of prospects.

OPPOSED BY BRITAIN.
Attitude Made Clear at Recent

LONDON. May Il R.-Great
Britain will firmly oppose any move
to let Turkey refortify the Dar-

today.
AS one Of the signatories of the
freely negotiated" treaty with Tur-
key, Britain, made her attitude on
the issue clear at the recent session
Of the League of Nations Council
when Sir John Simon, foreign secre-
tary, opposed any discussion Of the
suggestion.
The British governments view as
summarized by qualified sources is
that the question is incapable Of
comparison" to that Of Hungarian,
Austrian and Bulgarian rearmament.
No restriction was made on Tur-
keys arms strength, it was pointed
out here, but only upon the amount
of her armed forces within the de-
militarized zone along the straits.

IIN.S0.-"We'll go to the
Supreme Court Of the land, If
necessary, to defend our con-
stitutionaI rights to our religious
beliefs and freedom Of con-
science, and to protect our
selves from persecution by
fanatics"
This is the battle-cry today
of members Of the strange
'polygamy'' cult which has set
up a little empire of its own
in the mountain Businesses Of
this wild region. They declare
they will fight to the finish for
their belief in many wives and
concubineS.
State Fighting Cult
Authorities are conducting a
bitter drive against the cult,
which they claim is nothing but
a huge collection of "haremS"
and "love nests" Complaints Of
'open and notorious cohabita-
ton" have already been made
against six men and women and
the lives of 100 others are under
investigation.
According to John Y. Barrow,
bishop Of the cult, hundreds Of
Utah advocates of polygamy are
pouring in funds for the defense
so that the best legal talent from
Salt Lake City can be engaged.
He added:
"Man can't stop us from keep
ing our faith with God. Well

martyrs of old before we quit
believing in the doctrine of
many wives and many children"

Building Empire"
Just as Mussolini and other
modern dictators believe that pro-
life marriages insure the future
might of the states, so Barlow be-
lieves that a high birthrate will
make for the growth and power of
his little mountain empire. "
Polygamy, with "a child per wom-
an per year." as advocated by his
faith, will hasten this growth, in
his opinion.
Furthermore, though he denies
polygamy is actually being prac-
ticed in Short Creek now, Barlow
declares that only through polyga-
my "can we enter into the joys
Of heaven"
Most of Barlows children are
grown now, but he still has six
girls and a boy at home. They

Steel production and scrap
prices have again moved in op'
posite directions, output declining
from 4512 to 441a per cent OF
capacity and the Iron Age scrap
index rising from $1O.58 to $10.67

The filing of iron and steel

close few, if any, deviations from
