Motorists Of Brooklyn and Town
Plot districts are cautioned against
operators of the sympathy Game"
who have been active In the dis
tricts over the past week end, dur
ing which time several donations
have been made towards their
cause. Few Of those taken In viii
testify to the fact for obvious rea-
sons and to remove themselves
from any so-called sucker lit".
Perpetrators Of the latest fraud
are experienced "fall men" who
stumble into passing cars and then
to the street where they lay until
the motorist returns too fer aid.
At this point the injured" man
suddenly realizes he isn't hurt SUI
ficiently to be removed TO hos
pital and In feeling for bruises or
other supposed minor injuries, re-
marks TO the driver he isn't hurt
much and that a settlement Of IS
will square everything. Payment in
several instances Is said TO have
been made.
Two men have been operating
the racket for several days and
Saturday one was identified as a
resident Of Oakyille.
In one instance on North River
side street, the driver Of car was
sure he did not run over the man
who fell backwards from the
machines front fender, and re-
turned to Bank street for a police
man. Upon his return the man
had disappeared and no trace Of
him could be found. Another man,
resident Of Bunker Hill, while
motoring through the section with
his wife had the same trick played,
only he refused to pay the request
ed IS, but insisted upon taking the
man to the Waterbury hospital,
where any injuries could be deter
mined. It was at this point that
the supposed injured decided he was
not badly hurt and could walk to
his home, which he said was near
by.
Motorists are advised that pay
ment of this claim puts them in
questionable circumstances, leaving
the field clear for a possible law
suit at later date.

Maximum Speed Limit
On Highways Favored
General Assembly, State Traffic Commission Urged
to Give Matter All Possible Attention

In excess of which would constitute
prima facie evidence that the speed
is unreasonable: that in no event
should the limit exceed so miles an
hour and careful consideration
should be given to fixing the limit
at As miles an hour.
1.-THE commission is impressed by
the speed coming plan In relation to
its effect on accidents and their
seriousness and believes that such
coming should be continued and ex-
tended to all state aid roads, and
bridges"
In addition to making the above
proposals on speed and speed con-
troll the commission declares 1t is
pleased to give its support to a 1887
objective of the National Safety
council, urging motorists ito adapt
their driving to road and traffic
conditions-tos slow down for safety"
In regard to the relation OF speed
to accidents the National Council
says, Reckless speed Is regarded BY
many as the principal single cause
of death and injury on streets and
highways. Records show that at 20
miles per hour one injury In sixty
one proves fatal; between twenty
and tWenty-nine miles per hour, one
In forty-two is fatal.

injury in every eleven results IN

There should be a maximum
speed limit on the highways Of

to Governor Wilbur L. Cross.
Speed and its relation to acct
dents has received much attention
from the commission" the report
reads. Because Of Its Importance,
we respectfully urge that this sub
ject be given all possible attention
by the General Assembly and the
State Traffic Commission.
The report states that a recent
survey indicated most drivers In the

War Count on Time, But
+. d. r. Also Has Pressure,
Popularity and Patronage.

Washington, Feb. 23-"Time Is on
our SIDE" say the grim, determined
opponents Of Roosevelt's proposal to
liberalize the supreme court.
Time Is on our SIDE" echo the
supporters of the plan.
Anyway, time will tell. Neither
side Is rushing the issue.
The opposition hopes to pile up
enough pressure TO block the
measure despite claims Of admin
istrati0nistS they already have a
small edge in the Senate. Attacks
by some state legislatures, bar as
sociations and other conservative
groups, as well as an overwhelm-
ingly hostile press, will be sup
plemented by further organized
effort. This includes the work Of
Publisher Frank z. Gannett's Ma
tionaI Committee to Uphold Con-
stitutional Government.
kilograms and letters reaching
Capitol Hill are preponderantly
against the Roosevelt bill.
While picked men from both sides
broadcast their sentiments by day,
the President dins his arguments
into members of Congress at night.
Roosevelt's chief arguments are:
the demonstration of popular ap-
proval he received in the election
which he considers mandate;
the New Deal measures-which he
insists can only be had under a
changed supreme court; his recog-
nized effectiveness over the radio
which he hopes to utilize as never
before when he feels the tim Is ripe
for a supreme appeal to the people;
and finally, patronage-which can
be likened to a stick with which a
farmer could either beat horse or
use to hold bunch of hay before
the animals nose to keep 1t going.
Some of the antagonistic Demo-
Gratis and liberals Roosevelt has
been able to at least partly realign
are working for compromise. But
Roosevelt, while he may not hold
out ultimately for his proposal In
toto, will not compromise on any
basis which does not enable him to
establish liberal majority on the
supreme court.

Would Be Delighted

The administration is interested
in the bill permitting justices to re-
tire on full pay 100000 Year, for
three reasons:
]. 1t wants to let the public
know the aged justices 1t wants off
the bench would be taken care Of"
2. 1t will be delighted II two or
three of the justices take advantage
OF the retirement privilege when
the bill passes. Heretofore Con-
gress has passed special pension
act when a justice retired.)
3. Members Of Senate and
House see in vacancies caused by
retirement their only chance of get
ting on the supreme court, since law
forbids any member to occupy an
office created during the current
congressional session.
Even Senator Borah favors a con-
stitutional amendment for compul-
sorry retirement at IS. Others would
put the compulsory age at 10. SEN
ator Wheeler wants an amendment
permitting Congress to veto SUI
preme court decisions. Some men,
bers say 1t might be all right to let
Roosevelt appoint only two or three
justices. Others have alternative
schemes. This division among a
considerable segment Of the oppo-
sition, which processes willingness
to do something about the court, is
an advantage TO Roosevelt, as long
as he can hold his forces Solidly be-
hind his own measure.

MUTUAL ADMIRATION

Mutual admiration is quite racket

The way they lade out compliments
Is really something rare.
What nice things they say Of one another
From the very lowiest commentator,
Up through the ranks TO the great big guns,
Each and every narrator
II you're on the air, believe you me,
No Kidding however you slice 1t,
It's just another boloney game,
And doesn't that suffice It,
What noble introductions describe
The man who is about TO singh
What compliments Cantor can connive,
And what tears to the eyes bring!
The good fellow business on the radio
Calling all by his or her first name,
Is what you'd call beyond doubt
A really fascinating game.

Your lives must be papitatingly pleasant,
While others In the outer world
Are Just among those present.

Will Get Farm Support

There Is reason to believe that
Roosevelt will get the support of
most of the organized farm owner
strength, following Secretary Wal
lace's statement that the New Deal
farm program could hardly be con-
Sidered safe under recent supreme
court rulings. The programme
Guiding an annual $500, 100000 sub
sidy, crop insurance, production
control, and loans-is being dangled
before farmers. President Ed O'Neal
of the powerful American Farm
Bureau Federation, has been allow
ed to be kingfish in agricultural
matters here for four years. His
support Is considered in the bag.
Labor's Nom Partisan League
John Lewis, and the American
Federation of Labor (Bill Green),
are in the Roosevelt camp. The
LNL Is capable Of great pressure
in industrial states, and 1t will
make no bones about threatening
senators with defeat IL they vote
nay.
And 1t isn't exactly an unsafe bet
there won't be reasonably hard
effort to line up, behind this bill,
Roosevelt's election support among
the Negroes.
