GREATER EFFORTS
URGED TO PREVENT
MOTOR ACCIDENTS
CHAIRMAN OF STATE SAFE
TY COMMITTEE WOULD RE-
DUCE HAZARDS DURING
WINTER MONTHS
Especial to The Citizen)

ORLANDO, Feb. 13.-Concen-
tration during the winter months
of much of Florida's efforts to-
ward reducing the hazards of mo-
toring in the state was advocated
here today by Walter L. Hays,
chairman of the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce Safety
Committee.
81 do not for one minute mean
that we should relax an ever
alert vigilance to prevent every
motoring or other accident" said
Hays, who is president of the
American Fire and Casualty COM
pany here, 'but I do mean that
our winter months, when high
ways of the state are crowded
with our own and visiting motor
lists, call for extra vigilance and
care on the part of the travelling
public"
"Traffic congestion at any
time multiplies the hazards of mo-
toring, and because of the ire
mendous influx into Florida of
motorists this year, more care
than is usually exercised by driv-
ers is necessary"
Hays is chairman of the state
chamber committee. Other men,
bers are Robert Scott, vice chair
man. Wilmington, N. c.; Asher
.. Frank. state safety director, Tai
lahassee; Horace L. Smith, Cham
Der of Commerce, Ocala; and
Agnes Purnell. Chamber of Com
merce, Miami Beach.

1t is foregone conclusion
that there will be a great deal of
talk concerning Constitutionalism
in the next campaign. But it is a
question whether or not the
ancient document will be an ac-
tive issue-that is, whether a
definite proposal will be made to
change the present division of
powers between States and the
Federal government.
If some Congressman have
their way, such a proposal will be
a part of the Democratic plat
form.
Democratic Representative Mon
Afghan of Montana has put for
ward the most revolutionary plan
of all. He would have Congress
pass a law forbidding judges to
declare any act of Congress I'M
constitutional. If judge dis
obeyed this structure he would,
under the terms of the new law,
lose his job on the grounds that
he had violated the constitutional
requirement of good behavior
on the part of the judiciary.
Democratic Representative
Hobbs of Alabama wants a con-
stitutional amendment that would
require the Supreme Court to in
form Congress whether or not a
law was constitutional, if an
opinion were requested by the
President, or two-thirds of the
members of both houses. Point of
this amendment would be to eli
inmate the delay and confusion
that now follows the enactment
of legislation of dubious legality,
such as the AAA and NRA,
which were in effect for several
years before the high court con-
signed them to oblivion.
Democratic Representative Kel-
Ter of Illinois has proposed an
amendment which, in rs words
would practically remake the
Constitution. His amendment
| reads: "The Congress shall have
power to make all laws which in
its judgment shall be necessary to
provide for the general welfare
of the people" This would OBJ
! viously leave the Supreme Court
entirely without power to judge a
laws legality in the light of other
sections of the Constitution-the
justices would be confined to in
terpreting laws only.
Democratic Representative Cos
tigan of Colorado wishes an
amendment which would give
Congress the authority to regulate
working conditions, establish
| minimum wage standards, reg
ulate production in any industry
and prevent unfair practices
This sweeping Congressional
, power would make possible the
reenactment of a national law OF
the NRA type.
Democratic Senator Logan OF
! Kentucky favors similar amend.
ment which would permit Con.
gress to arbitrate labor disputes
/; and to regulate agriculture and
industry.
One Republican Senator ha:
also proposed a new amendment
but, curiously enough, this Sen
ator's views are more apt to fiji

On June Is, the United States
Treasury can be called upon to
pay out $4,000, 100000 in cash.
This is the amount of money re-
quired to redeem the baby bonds
ordered paid to veterans by Con-
gress, over President Roosevelt's
brief, aggressive veto message.
How many veterans will actually
take the cash, and forego the 3
per cent compound interest they
will be paid if they hold their
bonds until 1945, is a burning
question.
A still more burning question
is, Where will the money come
from? Congress passed the bonus
but left it up to the executive
branch to find the wherewithal.
The President does not want to
issue printing-press money. Nor
does he want to pay off the bonus
by issuing another bond issue.
Many think that he will ask Con-
gress to create new taxes to bear
the cost. In an election year,
new taxes strike fear into the
hearts of all officials running for
reelection. Some fireworks are
to be expected.
A survey made by the American
Legion to determine what vet
Grams viii do with their new
money is interesting. Thirty
four per cent will go for invest
ments and savings or be held in
uncashed bonds. Twenty-six per
cent of the money viii go for
homes, farms and equipment, and
twenty-three and one-half per
cent for old debts. Personal ex-
; penditures will take about eleven
and one-half per cent, and new
automobiles, five per cent.

ROME. Feb. 13-Premier Mus
solini is adding a thousand men
to the shadowy army which keeps
him close to the thoughts of his
countrymen.
They are the "agenti" or secret
police, whose amazing web covers
all of Italy.
While popular fancy associates
secret police with ferreting out
dissenters, there is a less menac-
ing side to their work. Checking
on the daily conversations of hun
dreds of thousands of Italians,
they keep the government up to
the minute on popular feeling.
A telegram from Rome to Mar
shall Badoglio asking a victory
NAV mean that wonder at the
army's slow advance has reached
the murmuring stage.
The Importance II Duce gives to
this body is seen in his allotment
of 100000 lire additional for 1t
this year. In former times when
the chief duty was rounding up
anti-fascists it was spending be-
tween Is and 20 million lire an
nually.
BARRIERS Listen In
While the fascist party was es-
tablishing itself most Italians kept
discreet silence on political ques-
tons.
"The walls see;" they whis-
pered.
Today, however, there is less of
that. The average Italian mulis
over the news with his friends.
Nevertheless, some of the
AGENT still approach the fiction
writer's idea of spy. Placed to
burrow into the daily movements
of possible trouble makers, they
may appear in almost any occupa-
tion-as BARRIERS, house servants
walters, or what not.
Secret Brotherhood
Behind the flamboyant nazi
propaganda front and Hitler's re-
built army stands a stern and Sc.
cret brotherhood. its members
mostly invisible, but armed to the
teeth.
1t is the "Gestapo," the secret
state police. 1t fights under
cover against undercOver enemies
and its power is all the greater
because unseen.
Naturally the Gestapo ice

is unfortunate but cannot be

in an authoritative article.
"The Gestapo knows it cannot
expect to inspire love and graft

must hurt innumerable people
either directly or indirectly. MOI
does it strive for outward recog

Strike Enemies Early
The Gestapo are everywhere, il

It is their function to find the
man who is contemplating serious
opposition to Hitler before tina
opposition can take form.

lively supported Mr.. Roosevelt, as

ris' amendment would prevent
the Supreme Court from holding
measures unconstitutional with
out a majority of more than two
thirds of it's members.
None of these proposals seem
to have much support at present.
Butt on the basis that where
there is smoke there is fire, they
serve to indicate that the Con-
stitution is likely to come into the
political limelight. Most observ-
ers think that the President does
not want to propose Constitu-
tional changes now-men close to
him have said he will stick by the
Supreme Courts DECISIONS out
having his pet measures. Even
so, many observers are also of
the opinion that, unless he is
willing to scrap his whole recovery
and reform program, he may
eventually have to ask for a new
amendment that will give the fed
eral power authority the Highest
Court has held it does not now
possess. And it is not by accident
that the principal Republican
spokesman, such as Mr.. Hoover,
Mr.. Borah, and Colonel Knox, are
devoting most of their speeches
and articles to Constitutional
ism.

A suit is on file today in Circuit

of making the Governors wishes
known by passing along the "go
sign"
Gov. McNutt is said to have con-
ferred frequently this week with
two of his closest advisers. Frank
McHale and Virgil (Skits) Simmons,
in an effort to decide on the most
likely candidate. Their objective,
of course, is the selection of a candi-
date who can carry Indiana for
President Roosevelt this fall, as we'll
as the selection of a candidate whom
they can nominate in the June
convention.
If the so-called administration
blessing falls on any of the three
candidates in the race, it is agreed
that the recipient probably will be
Lieut.. Gov. Townsend.
His Name Held Asset
He is an administration leader and
would make the race on the present
administrations record. Too, many
political strategists believe the Lieu
tenant Governors vote-pulling pow
er in the fall election would be en-
HANGED because great number of
uniformed elderly voters erroneous
ly believe he has some connection
with the Townsend old-age revolving
pension plan.
Another school of thought believes
the coincidence in names is a han
dicap to Mr.. Townsend, but the pre-
dominant opinion is that the gain
would offset any possible loss.
Along with reports that the Gov
ernor would abandon his Sphinx
like silence on the nomination were
hints that new candidate would
be placed in the field by the Ad-
miniStration. Such a candidate,
however, would be only a stalking
horse to attract a large block of
delegates to be used in a conven-
ton, it was said.
