NEW MEASURE FOR
HIGHWAY SAFETY
Register and Barker Sponsor
Bill for Inspection of
Bus-Truck Tires
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel
- ~ ia q IXWCWl VTTTV

Raleigh, Feb. 5-The newest high
way safety bill introduced in the
House by Representatives Thomas 5.
Royster, of Granville, and Oscar G.
Barker, of Durham, was suggested as
a result of the recent bus wreck in
Florida in which a large passenger
bus plunged from the Tamiami Trail
into the canal beside it, resulting in
the drowning of some 10 passengers,
Register and Barker said today.
The bill makes it a misdemeanor
for any bus operating as common
carrier or any for-hire truck to ope-
rate with tires which have worn
down to the fabric and authorizes
highway patrolmen or other peace Of
ficers to stop any such buses or
trucks and impound them until tires
with the proper amount of tread to
make them safe are installed.
1--WE have been informed that the
real cause of the bus accident in
Florida and which caused the bus to
swerve off the road into the canal,
was the blowing out of a tire which
had worn down to the fabric" Barker
said.
1--WE have also observed countless
trucks and buses operating in North
Carolina many at high speed, with
tires worn entirely down to the fab

Stone walls at the post office are
rising, out of the ground more rapidly
with a better f-reak from the wealth
err man for the past several days, al
though there was a slight Interrupt
ton because of the snow. AS it began
to melt today workmen returned to

l-Inch Snow
Biggest Yet
For Winter
Comes Suddenly and
inDense Formation
for Long I i m e
Thursday

Henderson was blanketed last night
and early today with a one-inch snow
second of the winter and heaviest of
the winter. but by midday most of
the snow had melted and disappeared
as q result of the warm sunshine of
the forenoon.
The snow came almost without
warning and suddenly Thursday aft
ernoon about o'clock. There were
no preliminary flakes. On Garnett
street a great wall of snow appeared
to be blowing on the wings of a
gentle east wind, and ten feet off the
street there was no snow at all until
in it's rapid westward movement it
carried on into that section of the
city. That appeared to be the way it
descended upon the city in all sections
The snow fell in dense fashion and
in medium-sized flakes until long
after the hour of dusk and continued
in Internationally until near midnight.
The atmosphere warmed and a thick
fog overspread the city, which still
hung low at the time most people re-
tired for the night.
H. L. Allen, official Weather Blu
reau observer here, said today the
snowfall was one inch. The tempera-
ture low for the night he gave as %
degrees, just four below freezing, as
compared with a minimum of 10 on
Wednesday night The maximum tenn
perature Thursday was 40 degrees.
Todays weather forecast was for
fair and slightly cooler tonight with
rising temperature and partly cloudy

A DISTINCTION
There is this distinction between a
! trial and an investigation.
At trial the accused is called to
account upon specific charges; an in
vestigation undertakes to throw light
upon broad general conditions
Still, there is an overlapping.
An investigation may, in effect,
serve to putt is subject interest sin

case of the oil inquiry, decade ago,
which resulted in one or two prison
sentences.

COMMITTEE NEEDS FUNDS
However, the "interestsn generally
are not apprehensive of prison terms
they simply do not want to be UNI
favorably publicized and maybe have
their activities interfered with or
even unpopularized; they are very
sensitive to mass sentiment.
Hence they would like to put stop
per into Senator Wheeler's inquiry in
to the railroads, and into Senator La
Follette's into the industries alleged
rough stuff in dealing with organ
lied labor.
Well, these inquisitorial bodies have
their weakness, too.
They need funds to do their inves-
t1gating and their allowances are very
p1cayunish. Therefore, they have been
in the habit of asking help from the
governments emergency agencies to
supplement their respective person
nelS.
TORPEDOING INQUIRIES
That is to say if Senator Wheeler
wanted an aide from the WPA, ne
got him; if Senator La Toilette need
ed a laeor board assistant, he got him
also.
The fight is to stop these temporary
transfers of assistants.
Ii they are stopped the Wheeler
and. La Toilette inquiries will flatten
out immediately. And congressional
inquiries, in future will be, to say the
least, handicapped.

ric. It is our understanding that
some bus and truck operators DELHI
erately instruct their drivers to use
the tires on their vehicles until they
blow out, or at least until hey are
worn entirely down to the fabric,
when there is always great danger
Of such tires blowing out, thus en-
dangering both the lives of the driv-
ers and of the drivers of other We
hicles which may be approaching or
following. In the case of buses, of
course, such blowouts are very dang
erous to the passengers, although I
am informed that good many of the
large bus lines are very careful about
tires and do not permit the operation
Of buses with worn tires"
