Mayor McLevy to Be Given Opportunity to Check on
 Relief Expenditures in State

Hartford, Conn.,, April 11-(UP) The demand of Bridgeport $ Socialist Mayor, Jasper McLevy, for Investigation into the methods of distributing relief funds in Con- necticut, today had been met by an offer by the state relief com mission to throw open its books for inspection.
 McLevy, and his socialist aides in the general assembly, appear ed before the judiciary committee late yesterday In support of a bill to delve into the inner workings of the EZRA setup. McLevy asserted he had protest ed municipalities were given liz tie to say as to the administration of the funds and my objections were overruled on the ground that there should be no politics in re- lief"
 Too Much Politics "As q matter of fact" he told the committee, Tit is head over heels in politics"
 He said he defeated John J Schwartz, Jr., in the Bridgeport Mayoralty election last November "and yet he is considered more capable of administering local re- 1 lief.
 q don't want to be administra tor" he said, "but do want thu city to have some say as to how the relief funds are to be spent" Senator John M. Taft, socialist Bridgeport, added II have very SC. rious doubt whether this money has been spent wisely"
 Welcomes Investigation
 Newton e. Brainard, chairman of the commission, answered Mo. Levy:
 If the committee wishes to in- vestigate the doings of the relief commission, the commission will give every assistance and will well come any investigation it cares to make.
 Tt is natural that sooner or later someone who feels he isn't getting enough relief money should ask for an investigation" he said.
 Secretary John J. Egan of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, said he supported the move and his organization had received nu- merous complaints that the EZRA was being used ''in many cases to break down wages"

DRIVING AND DRINKING

Instead of providing laws which punish offend
ers for car operation while under the influence OF
LIQUOR, the legal prohibitions ought to extend
against drinking and then operating car"
This recommendation is made by Robbins b.
Stoeckel, Research Associate in Highway Trans
portation Yale University, and former State NC
tor Vehicle Commissioner of Massachusetts,. 1t
constitutes a new approach to the solution Of
problem that may without exaggeratlon be de-
scribed as desperate.
Pointing out that he is not advancing an argu-
ment against drinking nor a criticism OF driving,
but does oppose the combining Of the two, M"
Stoeckel contends that drastic remedy IS needed
That remedy, he says, is to enact statute MAX
ING driving after drinking crime. In the light
of his experience, the former commissioner main
tans that mere discipline has been tried and found
Intellectual.
1t should not be necessary, he asserts, in order
to secure convictions for driving while under the
Influence of intoxicants that the operator of the
car should show obvious signs of it. In view of
the terrific toll of lives lost and of accidents pro-
duced by reckless driving consequent upon or con-
tiibuted to by the drinking of liquor and subse-
ouent driving of an automobile" the operator of
4 motor car who takes even one drink and then
drives should know that he is committing definite
crime for which he can be punished.
The most dangerous person on the highway, con-
tinues Mr.. Stocked, is not the openly intoxicated
one, but the man who has taken or two drinks.
He may show outward sign of it, and is prob
ably very sure of himself, although innumerable
tests have shown that in an emergency he 'fails
to respond as ne normally would if he had not had
a drink
Of course, Mr.. Stoeckel foresees the usual out
cry about interference with personal liberty but,
ne says, the present grim facts stare the public
in the face Is the liberty to take drink before
while driving so sacrosanct that it takes prece-
dence over the rights of other users of highways
the safety of companions which should be the
first care of the driver?
With twenty million hgh-powered machines ca
reening along the roads of America, the question
of divorcing driving from drink is no longer mere

Banks and insurance companies have been in
the background of this observance and they have
fallen down this year in getting together the
sary financial sinews to carry such a program
through. Manifestly they feel that there is not
enough popular interest in the to justify the
expense at this time.
If that is a correct appraisement it is lamenta-
bic symptom.
Thrift Week has been of especial worth for the
influences that may have been exerted through it
upon the young people.
Of course, little can be done toward arousing
within aduthood the urge to be thrifty and indus

Non Freeze Lake
Water Failed
Farmer Dell

GENEVA, N. Y, Jan. 90
UP).-Frmer Dell had a great
idea.
The more he thought Of the
idea, the better It seemeG-to
Farmer Dell. He confided in no
one. lie wanted to test it first.
The farmers inspiration came
from a peculiarly OF Seneca
lake. one Of the states most
famous beauty spots.
The lake very seldom freezes,
despite the fact that surrounding
waters are sheets Of ice. Only
in the most severe cold spells
will the lake develop more than
skim ice. There are various
scientific explanations, including
the great. depth Of the lake. and
it's uniform" year-rOund tempera-
ture. That didn't interest farmer
Dell. All he cared about was that
the lake didn't freeze.
Farmer Dell's idea. as he later
admitted, was to fill the rldiG-
tor Of his automobile with Lake
Seneca water, and save the cost
Of purchasing a non freezing
product.
To his surprise, the water
which would not freeze in lake
Seneca turned to ice so quickly
during zero cold wave that the
radiator burst in several places.
