to bring about safer driving and
more regard for traffic laws in the
future"
The steps already taken towards
the introduction of safety education
in the schools in North Carolina was
strongly commended by many ma
tional safety authorities, Fulk said.
The course in safety just started this
fall at Eastern Carolina Teachers Col
lege in Greenville has put North Car
DINA on the map as being one Of the
first states to have a complete college
course in safety for prospective teach
ers, Fulk said.
But more strict enforcement of
traffic and highway laws was also
urged as a companion move with
safety education in order to reduce
highway accidents, Captain Farmer
said.
THE leaders in the safety move
ment now realize that there is no SUBJ
stitute for strict enforcement for
those who refuse to heed anything
but the strong arm and mailed fist
of the law" Captain Farmer said.
Larger highway patrols, sitter fines,
more rigid drivers license laws and
especially more judges with nerve
enough to impose Jail sentences in
stead of fines, were advocated by the
leaders in the law enforcement di-
visions of the conference. They main
tanned that the time has come to
crack down harder than ever before"

DIESEL OIL MIGHT
CUT STATE INCOME
Some Truck Lines Already
Experimenting With New
Fuel In Tests
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
w q MA CK I'D WILL


Raleigh, Oct. 1.-THE prospect that
Diesel motors may soon compete with
gasoline motors in heavy trucks and
use fuel oil instead of gasoline for
fuel, is causing considerable worry
among the gasoline tax administra-
ton officials in most of the states,
but not in North Carolina, Commits
sioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell said
today. The possibility Of a heavy in
crease in the use of Diesel motors, es-
pecially in heavy trucks and a cor
responding decrease in gasoline con-
sumption by the trucking industray
was one of the big bugaboos seen by
the gasoline tax officials in their re-
cent meeting in Washington, Mr..
Maxwell said.
eve are not worried over the pros
pect of an increase in the use of
Diesel motored trucks in North Caro-
lima, however, from the standpoint of
a slump in gasoline taxes, since back
in 1888 I had a section inserted in
the revenue bill imposing the same
tax on crude oil or any other oil
when used as a fuel oil as was i'm
posed on gasoline" Mr.. Maxwell said
For back in 1888 realized that there
might be serious danger of Diesel
motors competing with gasoline
motors, especially if it was possible
for carriers to buy untaxed fuel oil at
prices far below the cost of gasoline.
The result has been that all fuel oil
sold in North Carolina for use in
Diesel motors has been taxed at six
cents gallon, just the same as gas
oline is.
There is one other feature in con-
nection with the use of Diesel motors
as truck motors, however, and that is
that these motors are said to give
above twice the mileage per gallon
as does gasoline, with the result that
if the motors should become extern
sively used and if the same tax per
gallon is imposed by the states, that
the yield from this tax would only
be about half the present yield from
the gasoline taxes
A few truck lines in North Carolina
are already experimenting with Diesel
powered trucks, Mr. Maxwell said, one
of these being large truck line OPP
Grating out of Charlotte. But so far
as he knows, no truck manufacturer
is yet putting Diesel-powered truck
for general sale and these trucks are
still in the experimental stage, Mr.
Maxwell said. But no one knows when
they may be put on the market to
compete with gasoline motored trucks,
he said.

F. ID. r. FAVORITE PERFECT
DIRECTOR.

President Roosevelt's favorite actor
will be seen as movie director in a
latest comedy-darma Hitch Hike To
Heaven" today-Tuesday at the Vance
Theatre. The actor, whose name is
John Dilson, met and became good
friends with the President when Dill
son was running a stock company in
Albany, New York.
Dilson is a pretty good composite
picture of all movie directors. He is
about average height, has white hair,
black beetling eyebrows, and a crisp
manner. The crisp manner is, of
course, necessary for it is an accepted
fact that all film megaphonors are de-
cidedly crisp; in fact, many of them
are we'll done. Dilson got the role
on.y after considerable discussion at
the Invincibe studios, for opinions
varied as to the type needed. Finally,
it was suggested that Frank r.
Strayer, who directed Hitch Hike To
Heaven" should play his life role in
the film. But, Strayer instantly re-
belled stating that he wasn't the type!
