Right Turns on Red
Lights Urged Ended

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Elimi-
nation of right turns on red lights
was proposed yesterday to the
traffic committee of the board OF
aldermen by Harold Fowler, first
deputy police commissioner, who
said such a change would expe-
dite traffic and make the streets
safes for pedestrians. He said:
eff you eliminate right turns
on the red light you will remove
interference with pedestrian
traffic, and thus eliminate con-
geStion at crossings. By retard-
ing traffic in one way, you will
accelerate it in others. That is
done in New Jersey, and it is
big safety factor there"

THE representatives are directly
answerable to their own group of
employees, and there are no restric-
tions on the choice of the employees
as to whom they want to represent
them.
Yet it is this very plan that this
group of organizers declare they will
destroy.
Through this plan, both men and
management have learned, too,
that they have one and the same in
terest-the success Of the business.

DENVER, Colo, July 4.-Five huge
balloons, riding on a southeast wind,
drifted into the Platte Valley country
today in the twenty-fourth annual
naticual balloon race.
The pilots, seeking to break two
records for lighter -than-air craft,
took of under perfect weather con-
ditions here late last night, their
$4,000 cubic foot bags soaring into q
moonlit sky, and drifting of ,on a
course which would take them toward
Omaha, Nebr.
The United States Army's entry,
piloted by Capt. Anton Haynie Nc
Cormick was the first bag In the air.
1t was followed by the first Of two
entries of the u. S. Navy, piloted by
Lieut.. Comdr. Francis N. Gilmer; the
Goodyear-Akron balloon, piloted by
Frank A. Trotter, winner of the 1880
race; the Navy's second balloon,
piloted by Lieut.. r. F. Tyler, and
Cleveland 3-Great Lakes Exposition
bag-piloted by Milford s. Vanik.
Six balloons were entered in the
race, but disaster overlook the Detroit
balloon when a brisk west wind swept
across the field and tore a huge hole
in the craft as 1t was being inflated.
The accident crippled the craft so
that it had to be withdrawn from the
race.
The other balloons were controlled
with difficulty as the wind reached a
peak of IS miles an hour.
The balloonists are out to break
the international mark for ballons OF
$4,000 cubic feet capacity, set in 1882
and the American record established
in 1927. The international mark was
made by French crew which piloted

mussen made the American mark Of
