WAR Is THE KILLER

Posters have appeared frequently
to emphasize the seriousness OF
deaths by traffic accidents in Ameri-
ca. One of those we saw not long ago
was headed Worse Than War;
That came to mind when we rec
emily read some figures on deaths in
the Spanish civil war, which has
been in progress for exactly one year
Lowest estimates place the death list
at 100000; other figures place the
list at 100000.
In nation of less than twenty mil
lion people the deaths by machine gun
bullets, by executions, and by ar
tillery and air bombardments are
greater than the total number Of
highway deaths in fourteen years in
the United States. Figure it on the
basis of population and war as a
killer becomes 100 times more deadly
than the automobile. Then consider
the vast numbers of people who ride
IN cars and the comparatively small
number engaged in military move
ments. and the figures spread too far
apart even to bother with compari-
sons.
We don't object to circulars which
endeavor to impress people with the
dangers of modern motor traffic, but
When someone tries to make us be.
lleve that we run a greater risk in
lur automobiles than we do on the
field of battle, the argument becomes
bit extreme and unconvincing.

WASHINGTON, March 8. - The Supreme Court has agreed to review the litigation involving the consti- nationality of the Alabama State Unemployment Insurance Act sup plementing the Federal Social Se- curity Law but failed to announce decisions in the National Labor Board and Washington State Mini mum Wage Law cases.
 Some observers regarded the an- nouncement of the Justices to pass on the Alabama statute as an ex- planation for the delay in passing on the petition for reconsiderations of the four to four decision up- holding similar law in New York State. It is believed the tribunal might hold up action in the New York case until it hears the argu- ments in the Alabama litigation.

ling on the measure. Controversy for the most. centered around the University of Alaska and an appro- (priation of $65,O00 for transporta- tion of pupils under the Commis- sioner of Education. Effort was made to kill this last item as rec ommendation had been made by the Board of Education that transpor- tation be discontinued. However, the House had previously voted the Boards bill on the recommendation so it stayed consistent and left the $65,o00 item for transportation.
 There was some spirited discussion over the funds for the University, the Fourth Division leading the fight to give the school a substan- tion appropriation. Although ad- ministration and maintenance was cut from $209,O0o to SITS ,0O0 and the scholarship fund was slashed from $6,000 to $4,000, the only item entirely thrown out was summer school calling for $l5,000.
 The bill as it now goes to the Senate for final action calls for the following major appropriations:
