DRIVER LABORATORY
TO OPEN TOMORROW
American Auto Association to
Give Tests to Public on
Highway Faults.

The American Automobile Associa-
tons floating laboratory" filled with
scientific driver testing equipment to
enable motorists to check their driv-
ing habits, will be available to the
public - beginning tomorrow, in con-
nection with the Accident Prevention
Institute. just organized by the Traf-
fic Committee of the Junior Board
of Commerce.
The apparatus will be placed in the
open area at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue NV. directly
across from the Commerce Depart
ment, to give Washington drivers a
chance to learn driver faults that may
jeopardize their own safety and that
Of others. 1t will be ready for use
each day from 9 am. to 9 pm.
The unique series Of tests includes
eye examinations, tests to determine
ability to judge distance, blood. pres
sure, reaction time, excitability, etc.
The 'drivometer" examination is
given last. In it. the motorist actually
drives an automobile, although it is
but inches long and runs on a re-
volving roadway. During the test,
the highway" goes up and down hill,
negotiates turns, crosses railroad
tracks, stop lights flash on and off
and directions are given the driver.
Experts can make the "trip" in $50
seconds. The rank and file Of drivers
require 200 seconds to complete the
journey and make two errors. Slower
time and more errors indicate a care
less, poor or possibly dangerous driver.
The first meeting of the Accident
Prevention Institute was held Friday
night. The next is scheduled to be
held probably in the new Police Court
Building next Friday night.

DICTATOR DEALS
FLAYED BY EDEN
Concessions Not Peace Way,
Ex-Foreign Secretary
Says in Speech.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LEAMINGTON, England, June II.
Former Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden warned tonight that concessions
to dictators ARE not the way to peace"
and demanded that the British gov
eminent take clear stand" against
them.
In contrast to his vigorous denun-
citation of Premier Neville Chamber
lain's policies in general, Mr.. Eden
praised Secretary of State Cordell
Hull's plea June 3 in Nashville. Tenn,
for strong united public opinion"
to support world order based on law"
Every word of 1t Is deserving Of
the closest study by all Of U.S." the
former white knight Of Geneva" de-
clared.
In an address before his constitu-
ents, Mr.. Eden made his most ener-
getic attack on the Chamberlain gov
eminent since he left the cabinet
February 20 in protest against its way
Of dealing with Italy and Germany.
He warned that the government Is
under grave delusion" If 1t thinks
it can reach European appeasement
by policy of concession to violence"
The word realism" one of Premier
Chamberlain's favorites, he continued,
might become indistinguishable from
defeatism-if SO, we should then mere
ly be retiring in good order from
position to position until the battle
is lost"
He expressed concern over the
bombing of British ships and open
towns in Spain by saying:
This country desires to be on terms
of friendship with every foreign coun-
try whatever its political creed.
But the disregard Of engagements,
the merciless bombing Of open towns,
and the deliberate sinking of British
merchant ships-with the best will in
the world how can these things be
foundations upon which true friend
ship With this country can be laid?"

LONDON, June lin one of the
remoter rooms of the British Admiralty
in London. overlooking the Horse
Guards parade ground, there has
been working for long time past an
elderly man whose name is never
mentioned in England He is a plain
sort of fellow, but he is the recog-
nized genius for organizing convoys
by sea in time of war, and this coun-
try, which must import most of its
food or starve and most of its raw
materials or be beaten in battle, would
look on him as one Of its guardian
angels if only it knew him
His name Is Eldon Manisty, and
years ago he was an officer Of the
commissary branch of the Royal Navy.
When the unrestricted submarine
campaign Of the Germans nearly
brought England to her knees over
20 years ago, the system OF carrying
food and raw materials from overseas
in large conveys guarded by destroyers
and cruisers was tried, and, to every
body's surprise, the system worked
Manisty. then commander in the
paymaster branch, was made manager
Of conveys.
Conveys Helped Save England.
Manisty worked out, all unknown to
the general public. system of con-
voys which experts now admit went
far to save England
The war ended and Manisty event.
Tally got his pension, which was enough
to let him live quietly in the country
and play golf.
Almost 20 years went by. The
Peace of Versailles was signed; then
came the Kellogg BRAND pact. which
outlawed war; then Stresa, and so. as
cynic might say, the war clouds
began to gather again.
England, which had almost gone
hungry in 1917, remembered Manisty.
They dug him out of his retirement
and put him to work on convoy plans.
Since that was done. his name has
not been mentioned. for the admiralty
does not like the light of publicity to
shine on that little room of his.
Now, what exactly is this plan for
conveys? Very little is made public,
but this much can say. All the
seven seas are mapped out in trade
routes. There are roughly 1000 British
ships Of over 5000 tons. They are
distributed among the trade routes,
and the length in miles of each of
the routes is divided by the speed of
the slowest ship in each convoy. Given
a certain number of days to load and
to unload and adding to that figure
the days for the double journey out
and home, you have the approximate
capacity and usefulness of each ship
flying the British red ensign.
Each Ship Earmarked.
1t may be taken for granted that
each British ship has been earmarked
for war Service-for carrying food
and raw materials, for passenger
traffic and for troop transport. Each
ship has been told of her war station,
and it is very certain that the convoy
system will be put in force Immediate
ly war is considered inevitable.
Plans are being pushed forward ac-
lively. if they have not already been
completed, for protecting these con-
voys. Every detail is rigid secret,
but an admiralty spokesman recently
went so far as to talk of the conver-
sion of a large number of old
cruisers into anti-aircraft vessels, the
strengthening of the destroyer squad
rons of the British fleet and the pro-
vision of new kind of ship called
an escort vessel, which is simply a

Must Arrange Cooperation.
One more thing our friend at the
admiralty has to arrange for. That
is the close cooperation between the
Navy and the merchant service which
will man the conveys. 1t is permitted
to be known that between 1000 and
5000 merchant service officers have
completed what Is known as a defense
course, by which is meant series of
lectures by naval officers in which the
handling Of convoy and of individual
ships in a convoy are worked out.
These courses have been going on in
all the big ports.
Spring has been long in coming this

HULL WOULDBAR
BOMBERS TOJAPAN
Seeks to Halt Sale of u. S.
WarpIanes by Means of
Public Opinion.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull undertook
yesterday to halt the sale of Ameri-
can-made bombing planes to Japan.
He chose public opinion as the
means of accomplishing this objective.
In carefully worded PHI ases, Mr..
Hull told reporters that this Govern
ment's repeated condemnation of the
bombing of civilian populations was
directed especially at the manufac-
turers of military planes. and the
general American public, as well as
foreign powers.
The repeated damning of ruthless
warfare would discourage sales to re-
gions where planes were being used
to bomb civilians, he predicted. Other
such condemnations would be voiced
In the future, he said.
Japan Chiefly Affected.
Though Mr.. Hull named no nation
specifically, it was obvious that Japan
would be chiefly affected if his policy
were successful Shipments of war
material to both sides in Spain
have been banned already by invoca-
ton of the Neutrality Act.
The neutrality law has not been
invoked against sales of planes or
bombs to Japan or China, however.
1t was reported reliably that some
manufacturers already have shown a
willingness to reject contracts for
the shipment of bombing planes to
the regions the Secretary has in mind
Japan, whose war planes have kill
ed hundreds in Canton, China, be-
came the United States best customer
for war supplies in the last six
months.
From December l to June l, Japan
spent $6,09l 900 for war equipment in
the United States, compared with
China's S5,8l9,739 of purchases. Air
craft and parts, commercial as we'll
as military, comprised the bulk Of
the exports.
Brazil Leads for Month.
In May, licenses were issued to
export 81 1884, ,608 worth of arms to
Japan, of which s599,49O represented
military aircraft and s528,sO0 COM
mercial planes and equipment. For
the month, however, Brazil led Japan
with $1,494,824 of purchases.
Altogether American manufacturers
sold to all Nations $31 .090,054 worth
Of war material in the six-month
period
In using moral pressure against the
sale of bombing planes, the adminis-
tration is pursuing course similar in
one respect to its action in the
Italo-Ethiopian conflict. An embargo
was clamped down then on exports
of specific war materials to either
nation, and the State Department
undertook to supplement this with
an appeal to exporters to limit to
normal" levels their sales of gaso-
line, copper and other material having
commercial as well as military uses.
The attempt to limit these ship
ments was not a notable success,
since no means was available to apply
quotas to individual shippers.

LAST-WEEK DRIVE
FOR CHINA OPENS
Relief Funds Sought Here
for Millions Forced to

The United Council for Civilian
Relief in China, with Washington
headquarters in the Hay Adams House,
opens a vigorous last-week drive to-
day to raise funds to help alleviate
the misery and suffering of the Chi
nese refugees, many of whom are said
to be eating thistles, poplar buds and
blue clay mixed with leaves.

He added:

THE summer conditions in most
maternity centers is appalling. There
is insufficient pure water for any
purpose. and milk, luxury. spoils
almost as soon as it is received. Relief
work is hampered also by lack Of
medicine and sanitation equipment.
Suffering Indescribable.
THE almost unchecked spread of
disease, added to the terrible toll
taken by famine among Chinas Co.
100000 homeless civilians, has created
in China a scene of indescribable suf-
fering. These innocent victims of
war are left to wander aimlessly in
the most tragic mass migration of
modern times The wanton disregard
for defenseless people and towns by
bombing raids has turned the streets
of these towns into human butcher
shops.
The story of these destitute people
is without parallel in human misery.
1t has no equal even in the barbaric
masSacreS and mass migrations of
ancient history.
There are in China today millions
Of children who have known nothing
