LONDON, July % (N.A.N.A).-
British medical circles showed keen
interest today In the visit Of DR.
Thomas G. Tickle, New York ear
specialist, who arrived at Southamp-
ton on the liner Bremen.
DR.. Tickle confirmed the statement
he made on sailing from New York
that he had been engaged to perform
an operation in London on a patient
whose identity was undisclosed to
him except for the information that
the person was connected with the
British royal family. The operation
involves grating a nerve from the pa
tient's leg into the left side of the
face to cure facial paralysis.
DR.. Tickle, aural surgeon on the
staff of the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital, said all arrange
ments for the operation had been
made by London hospital, which he
declined to name, but that he did
not know as yet when the opera
ton would be performed.
1t was learned that DR.. Tickle has
consented to give a lecture Friday
in the London hospital on the Bal
lance-Duel method of surgical treat
ment of facial paralysis, He was a
colleague of the late DR.. Arthur B.
Duel, New York aural surgeon, who.
with the late Sir Charles Balance

dead facial nerve was replaced with

best record here by reducing fatal acci- dents 3 per cent. There were reductions in the number of deaths during the first ii months of 1885 in seven states and the District of Columbia.
 With these example of safety progress before it, the national council is sponsor ing campaign aimed at reducing traffic deaths for the whole country per cent in each of the next five years. Forty-two states, more than 100 cities and hundreds of newspapers have joined in this drive to save human lives. Others are likely to enlist as their citizens study the 1885 statistics and have the whole traffic sit- uation presented to them in an intelli- gent but moving way.

Success Breeds Success

It's a familiar principle of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin creed that control over our monetary system has been taken away from Congress and the people and vested in private corporation, meaning, of course, the Federal Reserve Board, created back in 1913, during the admins tration of the late Woodrow Wilson and generally hailed then and in later years as the salvation of the nation when the banking business was in grave danger. Is 1t any wonder that he should test the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve Act when so many New Deal acts have been tried and found wanting in some respect by the courts?
 Father Coughlin seems to us to be on safe ground when he is pointing out to the nation the way it has allowed control over it's monetary system and policy to drift away from the federal government where it is reposed by the Constitution. He will not need much more than this one point to rally round him millions of enthu- siasts, for it was on this very point that he was catapulted into such popular ac- claim in the early days of the Roosevelt administration.
 It will be interesting to see what comes of his challenge It will be more interest ing to see the reaction in the circles that he attacks and that were at no pains to conceal their acute discomfort when he first leveled an accusing finger at them months back. Congress has the right to coin and issue money. can't find any where in the Constitution that it may delegate that right without restric- tions. :" That's the backbone of the Coughlin attack. It looms just a bit bulky to overlook or look over.

The Safety Campaign

Statistics on the motor vehicle fatalities of 1885, as given by the National Safety Council, contain number of encourag- ing facts to counteract the discouraging facts of 36,000 deaths. In the first place, the death rate per 100000 of population was about the same as in 1884. Again, the number of miles motorist was able to travel without accident increased 4.3 per cent and gasoline consumption rose 6 per cent, while fatalities rose only per cent. If crashes had increased in the same proportion as motoring, there would have been nearly 38,000 deaths in 1885 instead Df 30,O00.
 Other cheering spots in. the statistics abIes were those Showing many com- HunItiey had reduced their accident .oEaIs. The New England states made the

Down To 45 Miles Per

The mandate placing maximum speed limit of 45 miles per hour for all vehicles travelling on trunk line highways in this state was issued by Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael A. Connor just as Governor Wilbur L. Cross was naming an imposing list of prominent residents Of the state to Vigilance committee, whose prime purpose will be to encourage more 1awless driving on our state roads. The dual gestures are a fitting opening to the 1938 drive on careless driving, the main factor in the high accident toll on all roads.
 That the 45-mile speed limit will be strictly enforced was indicated by Con- missioner Connor It will be well for all of us to heed it and to give some due re- gard to our operation of motor vehicles even on straight stretches of highways where it may seem safe to open up the throttle, even push the accelerator down to the floor. Drivers have got to become conscious of the fact that every time they relax their vigilance for one single sec- ond they become potential weapon Of death.
 The danger that lies in the careless or negligent operation of motor vehicle cannot be stressed too often or too thor oughly. The facts must be driven home to all of us. Many man brides himself on the fact that he has never been in- volved in a motor mishap. Let him look well to this record and preserve it for all time. But since there are so many driv- CTS who have no qualms of conscience or due regard for the safety of other lives or property all of us who drive cars must come under the strict surveillance of the authorities. It is in the interest of human lives, precious possessions.

o. Time! o, Customs!

We should have known it was about due to happen, yet being a trusting soul couldn't quite convince ourself that we were to be imposed on once more. Head- lines seldom lie. There it was, bold and bright. Sherwood Island. It's back before the public once more. The first time it burst into the news of the day was in 1914 when the Connecticut State Park and Forest Commission launched itself auspiciously by purchasing some land down on Sherwood Island in Westport for a state park. It marked the beginning of our state park system.
 Just a year ago the Legislature took such steps as everyone thought would end for all time the question>whether or not state park on Sherwood Island would ever be generally available to the public. Although q years before lano for a public park had been purchased on Sherwood Island, it wasn't until many years later that actually the public was really allowed to enjoy this shore site. And then it was rather begrudging And oven as late as 1885 it was seen that the Sherwood Island site would never be complete success unless the state bought additional land to make access to 1t easier.
 After General Assembly authorized pur- chase of the land things proceeded peace fully. But the Attorney General of the state has just ruled that the land in ques- ton is in a residential zone and cannot be used for park purposes. It means that adjacent property owners must seek court judgment so that they may waive the restrictions by general agreement. We hope such general agreement can be obtained. But if it isn't, it merely will confirm the general opinion that it's a long lane that has no turning and that sooner or later the Sherwood Island park will be given up as hopeless.

 Sitting with Roosevelt in the White Houge were Secretary of Agriculture Wallace; Will Alex ander, who is Tugwell's right hand man on tenant farming; Marvin Jones, chairman of the House committee on agriculture; and Lee Pressman, legal adviser to Tugwell.

 Marvin, what about getting hearings started by your com mittec within the next three wecks?"
 But, Mir. President" replied Jones, don't you think we had betctr not hurry? Remember we may have to pass some legisla- ton for the AAA after the Su- preme court hands down it's de- clsiOn."
