"DREAMERS"
TRAFFIC
MENACE
D. O. Problem Viewed
From Motorist and
Pedestrian Side
AN EDITORIAL

AN EDIIOR1Ah
The traffic problem is
a major one to be con-
sidered in the District
Of Columbia. The rapid
mounting Of traffic
deaths caused by the
thoughtlessness Of mo-
torists and pedestrians
is almost incredible.
Two Types
In my estimation
there are two types Of
traffic violators. One
is the traffic violator
who deliberately breaks
traffic regulations be-
cause he doesn't care
and the other Is the
one who violates a traf-
fic regulation because
he is day dreaming be-
hind the steering wheel.
I once heard a man
say that he would run
over anyone who got in
the path of his automo-
bile. This kind # per-
son is a menace to his
community. This is the
character who is don't
cariSh," with no sense
of responsibility and
with no idea Of coopera,
ton.
Day DreamerS"
Now we come to the
day dreaming" sort,
the kind who is un-
conscious Of what he is
doing.
This type Of person
is usually the one who
is liable to be thinking
Of a million other
things while at the
steering wheel when he
should be concentrating
on the present duty be-
fore him.
Nowadays a motoriSt
has to look out for him.
self and the other
motorist too; not to
mention anything Of
the pedestrian, W h o
often walks nonchalant-
ly into a traffic-jammed
street reading q news

that any sizeable number Of nearly

ton workers now on the pay roll
will be holding their jobs after

culture Wallace, Secretary Of La
Dor Perkins and Secretary of Com
merce Roper, the last named being
chairman Of the group.
Committee At Sea
According to Malcolm Kerlin.
assistant to Chairman Roper, the
committee has not as yet decided
on Just how extensive its activities
are to be and consequently no de-
cision has been made regarding
the number Of workers. Another
problem, Mr.. Kerlin explained, is
whether the workers who are hired
will receive So-called security
wages" or salaries in higher brack.
cts. 1t is probable that the COM
mittee will make some decision on
these matters early IN the week,
Mr.. Kerlin indicated.
In well-informed quarters how
ever, the word has been passed
that March 81 will be the last
work day for most of the NRA
employees and that those who are
retained will be paid the "se-
curity wage" which it is believed
will vary from $50 to $72 per
month.

think the time has come when 1t
is vital that the people of this
nation should face the facts and
start considering what they want
to do about them"
He outlined these facts he said
the nation should consider:
l. Even though production now
is only 10 per cent below the 1929
boom level, unemployment is cur
rently estimated at between g.
100000 and 100000.
2. Business probably will strike
the 1929 mark next year, but care
fully prepared estimates indicate
that there will still be from $780,
900 to 100000 unemployed.
3. Our population is increasing
steadily while there is a growing
practice in industry, in those mod

age to 40 OF As.

With equal frankness, Hopkins
outlined his program to solve the
problem, plans he is supporting
after three and one-half years di-
recting federal relief:
l. American worker is the key
to the. puzzle. His job must be
made as stable as possible; his
hours short enough to let others
have jobs also; his buying power
must be high.
2. The government should take
the lead in security measures;
provide unemployment insurance
and aid for dependent youngsters,
keep children out of mills and
sweat shops; help young people
stay in school, and out of the labor
market; finance old age benefits.
3. Strengthen public employment
offices, urging private business to
use them; foster low-coSt housing;
explore health and disability in
sllrance.
4. The government should take
an immediate unemployment CEN
suS, a task it has declined for the
last two years; periodic checks
every few years.
S. Finally, federal relief should
be continued with program like
the WPA for employable persons
who cannot find work.

case this year.
Last years relief case load upon
a similar date was far in excess
of the number receiving relief this

Records show only 46 direct relief
cases on the rolls at the county

Five shots fired from a
speeding sedan at Carl Mas
lund, strike breaker in the
Salinas lettuce trouble, as he
drove toward Ell Centre
early Tuesday morning, led to a
search today for radical strike
leaders who had threatened to
get" him. The shooting occurred
near Whitewater.
Naslund, former Ell Centro serv-

swering Naslund's description did
not enter the valley.
After the shots were fired, Mas
lund let his coupe careen to the
side of the road and slumped over
the wheel, as if he had been shot,
he told officers. The sedan, bear
ing three men, did not slacken
speed but continued toward Impe-
rial Valley.
The shots fired into the coupe
missed NaSlund by few inches.
Two bullet holes appear above the
door on the coupe's left side and
three shots pierced the interior
Of the coupe above the right hand
door Naslund said two men wera
in the front seat of the sedan and
one in the rear seat. He said the
car had no rear licsnse plate, was
a 1881 or 1882 model and was dark
colored.
The shots were fired from an
automatic pistol, according to Of

Naslund drove on to Ell Centre
and has been in conference with
officers since his arrival. He de-
clared he could identify one of
the men in the black sedan. He
