CLARK HINTS MORE

Senator Clark of Missouri, Demo- crat on the committee, hinted there was more. In his angry upbraiding of Senator Nye for releasing the document, Clark allowed a faint fragrance of the hidden wonders to escape. He protested the committee had decided unanimously" that the Elliott Roosevelt Fokker docu- ment, as well as several other matters which had come into committee hands, were entirely out side it's authority.
 He did not say what the "other matters" were. It is fair to mid ding guess that before long, SC disrupted is the committee, var ious members will tell all
 Another aspect of the case is this: just how far can commit tee go in it's disclosures without starting a reaction? The sever munitions committee members, foul Democrats and three Republicans

1 COMMITTEE
 NOW GETTING
 IN HOT WATER
Munitions Probers Hint at Something, Then Won-
 der How Far to Co

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.--A good many persons in Washington sus- pected the munitions committee had in it's files some such affi- davit as the Elliott Roosevelt-A thony Fokker document relating to the contract dealing with proposed sale of airplanes to Russia.
 But like many such stories, it ricocheted around the capital with out taking on substance until Sem ator Nye, North Dakota Republican, Chairman of the committee, re- leased it with the explanation that it was to offset a magazine story saying the committee was suppress sing pertinent matter.
 It may or may not have dimes worth of political effect. But it does raise a question as to just how much material of present or future propaganda value is yet locked up in the committee files.

MOTOR STAFF HIT
 BY STATE FLOODS
Lack of Power Handicaps Work of Permanent Reg
 istratiOn Certificates

Lack of power at the state office building handicapped the state de- rartment of motor vehicles in com pleting the permanent registration certificates for 1886. Consequently, Commissioner Michael A. Connor has extended the legality Of the temporary registration certificates for an additional thirty days and notified all police authoriteis to that effect, requesting that Connecticut motorists with temporary registra- ton certificates not be subjected to any trouble until after April 30, 1936, by which time the commission CT is confident all motorists will have the permanent 1886 registra- ton certificates.
 "The lack of power during the flood emergency" said the commis- slioner in explaining his ruling, "set the department back great deal in completing the permanent regis tration certificates, & work which is accomplished by machines re- curing power. It could not be done hy hand. To protect motorists to whom we issued the temporary cer- tjficates during the rush period, a 30-day extension has been granted the temporary certificates which, ordinarily, are good for only thirty days after issue. We have notified all police authorities in Connecticut and the motor vehicle and staet po- and the motor vehicle and staet DO.

The increased load of motor traf- flc as the result Of the fine weather of the past weekend again draws attention to the serious hazards on Thomaston avenue. The police de- partment has set up controls to attempt to regulate the speed of drivers who may be tempted to turn the five concrete highway into a speedway, by installing a rotary circle at the intersection of Homer street, Huntingdon avenue and the main thoroughfare, and by making the intersections of the above streets and Boyden, Chapel, Welch. Shef- field, Driggs, Sprague street and Fort Hill avenue with Thomaston avenue; compulsory stop" points, where motorists are required to come to a full stop before proceed ing into the state highway.
 Total disregard of the safety precautions, particularly on the part of many Waterville motorists, at the "stop" intersections, is creat- ing a rapidly growing hazard which will eventually lead to 8 serious accident. There is a strong feeling that the department should again conduct a campaign here against such offenders, similar to that which was carried out last summer. At that time reasonably high degree of compliance with regulations was attained after several arrests had been made and fines imposed.
 It is felt also that the safety of the general public might also be helped if, some attempt were made to curb excessive speeding through the center of Waterville by making

Survey Staff

Survey Staff
 It was one of several recommen- dations made by the citizens traf- fic safety committee which operates as the governing body of a WPA staff surveying traffic conditions in Waterbury. All of the suggestions will be given consideration by the police board traffic committee and reported upon at the next regular session.
 Lieutenant Paul Kreml, of the Evanston, H., police department, a nationally recognized authority on traffic problems wifi be brought to Waterbury to conduct short, but intensive course in accident work, Superintendent Roach said. Lieu tenant Kreml has already organized such a squad in Bridgeport and is completing the work in New Haven.
 Special Training
 The squads are selected from the traffic departments and are re- quired to attend school" sessions six hours each day. They are train- ed not only in first aid work, but are taught to make records in ser- ious accident cases and are equip ped with cameras with which they photograph for police use accident scenes. Such records and photO- graphs, 1t is pointed out, irrefutablc evidence in trials of the cases in court.
 The recommendation read at the meeting yesterday stated "A squad prope. y trained would be of great benefit not only in the checking up of accidents but also in the possible saving of lives through prompt and efficient attention"
 Changes Proposed
 lieutenant Kreml spoke at Cros- by high school several weeks ago. He was brought to the city through the Citizens Traffic committee as part of the educational program.
 Other suggestions made at yes- terday's meeting follow:
 CD Traffic on Chase parkway should be kept in single line by painting line in the center of the street from Riverside street to Highland avenue and this should be strictly enforced, and 8 sign keep in single line"
 (2) Suggest police department obtain and adopt form for in- formation on accidents similar to that used in Bridgeport, Ev- anston, III. and other places. Form is known as N. s. c. Traf- fic l, and can be obtained from the National Safety council, 20 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Ill.
