NO FEAR OF DICTATORSHIP

The cry of dictatorship is often directed iowa Washington these days But it is difficult to imagi ny President becoming dictator whose re-elect epends upon the votes of the people. Secretary interior Harold L. Ickes brought the point out rath orcefully in address before the Institute of Pub Affairs of the University of Virginia The Secreta t that time said
 l challenge the assumption that the social, economic and political system as existed in this country just prior to March A. 1933, was government representative of the people It might not be difficult to prove that our government at that time was representative of money. And challenge anyone on the basis of the actual facts, to prove that there exists in Washington today either an actual or potential dictatorship, charged by my Old Guard friend, the Republican platform craftsman, Senator Hiram Bingham of Con- nectcut.
 Your thorough-going dictator generally is a single personality, but there can be just as effective and ruthless dicta atorship by group This latter type is the kind of dictatorship to which this country submitted so compacently until our dictatorS, in their porcine greed for ever greater wealth and ever more power over-reached themselves. In the panic of fear that overcame them when they saw their colossal fortunes and their cherished power threatened with extinction they forgot even
  when they came out from under the bed where they were hiding Nley discovered, to their conSternaton, that the American people under leader of their own choosing, had cap tured the citadel and were bent on the ex- pertinent of running their own government in their own interest
 It is interesting to note that certain type of citizen did not begin to tremble for the safety of our institutions until there came into office in Washington government that ad- vanced the shocking theory that taxes ought to be assessed in proportion to ability to pay. Then it was that the American Liberty League was organized by those liberty loving duPonts their compa triots and their satellites Accord ing to them, the Constitution was being jeo- pardized by whose supreme concern as President has been to equalize oppor- tunites
 If President Roosevelt should yield to the importunate demands of William Randolph Hearst and his kind and substitute general Federal sales tax for all income, inheritance and gift taxes he would be acclaimed the greatest patriot in the whole calendar of American patriots The duPonts would dis band their Liberty League over night
 Who are they who call Roosevelt dicta- tor? Are the workers complaining? Are the farmers afraid of the President? Are the miners, the steel workers, the factory and railroad employees men and women in the professions and the vast white collar legions alarmed?
 The very fact that the money power of America is so bitterly opposed to President

Roosevelt is proof enough that he has not and will not make terms with it. There never has been and there need not now be fear of any President becoming dictator who refuses to bow the knee to these economic royasts and whose continuance in office depends upon the votes of the people.
 No there need be no fear of dictatorship so lon you and I and the other fellow rule at the bao box and do not neglect to exercise right o franchise.

Relying on official figures Of the
States Of New York and New Jersey,
the statisticians say that these "re-
veal average fatality ratios of 42.4
deaths per 1000 accidents for the
months of October, November and De-
cember: 35.4 for July, August and

Declaring the New York and New
Jersey data to be fairly typical of
those for the Northern States in gen.
eral, the statisticians say:
Careful study Of this material
shows that this high mortality results
principally from the simple fact that
there Is more night driving during

cidents by seasons, the statisticians

81 Per Cent at Dusk.

CHEMISTS TELL HOW
ANTI-FREEZEW WORKS
Compare Action in Water Of Ra.
diator to Salt in Ice in
Ice Cream Freezer.

A new explanation Of how anti
freeze works to protect automobile
cooling systems is given by du Pont
chemists. They compare the action
Of anti-freeze and water in the ra-
diator to that of salt and ice in the
familiar ice cream freezer. In the
latter, salt prevents ice from becoming
a solid mass, yet reduces the tempera-
ture of the mixture. This cold, in
turn, is transferred to the container
to produce ice cream. Essentially, an
efiicient anti-freeze does the same
thing. Its molecules, those infinites-
imsl units OF which it is made, mix
with the molecules of water and lower
the freezing point of the entire solu-
ton. The more of these anti-freeze
molecules added to a given quantity
Of water the more protection the re-
sulting solution will give.
The engine when running is like
the ice cream container which must
be cooled. It is said that the average
automobile motor at so miles an hour
creates sufficient heat to warm a
seven-room house with the outside
temperature at zero. This tremendous
amount of heat must be dissipated by
the cooling system through the me-
dium of circulating liquid. It is pos
sible that an anti-freeze, because Of
its molecular construction. will aid
water in the transfer Of heat and
thereby increase engine efficiency and
power.

AUTO RESEARCH
EXACT SCIENCE
Trends of Public Preference
Determined by Detailed
QuestionnaireS.
RY C. l.. McCUEN,


pr.s,dent and General Manager Olds-
mobile Co.
Automotive research has reacneo
the stage of exact science.
BY research. I refer more parucu-
larly to the research through wnlcn
the trends of public preference are
determined. Later comes the research
work in laboratories, the experimental
departments and the proving grounds.
Both play equally important roles in
bringing the motor car constantly
closer to perfection.
Through an elaborate system OF
consumer research, conducted by Gen.
eral Motors, we are able to predict
with uncanny exactitude just what
qualities and features will be sought
by a majority of motorist in the next
cars that they buy.
It involves the sending of detailed
ouestionnaires to hundreds of thou
sands OF car owners. Their answers,
classified, indexed and analyzed, con-
stitute invaluable guidance as to the
course that our development engi-
neers should pursue-the objectives
that they should seek.
And thus the two work effectively
together. Consumer research points
clearly to our goals. Engineering re-
search finds ways and means to at
tain those goals.
In recent years this combination Of
consumer and engineering research
has brought the development Of body.
chassis and motor to a point where
further automotive progress now comes
largely through the refinement Of
established principles of design.

uary, February and March, when the
period Of darkness is even longer
than In late Fall, the percentage Of
accidents after nightfall is somewhat
lower than 1t Is In Autumn. Out Of
68,541 accidents reported by New
York and New Jersey during the
Winter months. 35,352 or about So
per cent occurred within the dark
hours. This probably can be attrib-
uted to the fact that the hazardous
driving conditions prevailing in Win
ter tend to discourage night driving
and so help to reduce the number Of
night accidents. The pleasant weather
encountered during Autumn, however,
especially in the vicinity of New York
and New Jersey, is particularly entic-
ing to motorists and thus tempts many
to prolong their driving to late hours" !"

INCREASE IN CARS

The year 1860 will find about 43
per cent more motor vehicles travelling

estimated by the American Petroleum
Institute. A recent survey by institute
committees developed expectations
that the 22.4O0,ooo passenger vehicles
registered in 1885 would increase about
SO per cent in number to 3l,100,0 900.
1t was estimated that the $500, 900
motor trucks would increase in mum.
Der to 100000. Total registration for

NEW YORK, November 14.-Be-
cause more fatal automobile accidents
happen after nightfall than during
the daytime, the lengthening nights
Of Autumn present a special hazard
to motorists, according to statsticians
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co. They point out that although
there are about as many automobile
accidents in the Summer as in the
Fall, the ratio of fatalities to acci-
dents is greater during the Fall sea
son than in any other period.
Even in Winter, the statisticians
say, the mortality is not so great,
though the long hours Of darkness
extend through this season also. This
is probably because the difficult driv-
ing conditions of Winter tend to dis
courage night driving and so help to
reduce the number Of night accidents,

Blame for blocking his plans
for a subway system in the Dis
trict was laid to Inertia and in
activity of District officials" and
the municipalities complicated
financial machinery by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts in an
address yesterday before the
Washington Round Table at the
University Club.
Mr.. Roberts declared it had
been demonstrated that the re-
turns of the city "in increased
taxes on the 20 per cent increase
in value of downtown commercial
property alone would pay for the
amortization cost and interest on
such a subway plan" He added
this would ignore the tremendous
traffic control expense which the
city must pay if the subway SyS-
tenn is not devised.
The Districts street car system
was criticized severely by Mr.. Rob
ert. He said the street car trans
portation system in the District is
inadequate today and that for rea-
sons which should be apparent it
will remain inadequate. He said
the city has reached the "Satura-
ton point in the movement of
passenger automobiles in the
downtown section"
