FOUR-LANE HIGHWAYS
SAFEST
/H.fnrI ConfinDT
(HanfOrd Sentinei)

Highway builders at last have achieved
partial solution of the troublesome and
ever-present traffic problem by building
four-lane thoroughfares. Recent surveys
have shown conclusively that on a basis
of miles driven the four-lane arteries are
much superior to the two and three lane
highways not only in travel comfort but
also in fewer accidents.
Figures released for valley sector of
Highway 80 in Kern county refute for
mer statements attributed to traffic Of
ficers that the four-lane artery there
produced a greater number of accidents
than had occurred over the older three
lane sector it replaced Complete records
proved that the wider avenue had little
more than half the accidents than its
predecessor. although traffic was heavier
and the records for the entire length of
80 including two, three and four-lane
links showed greater incidence of acci-
dents.
The completed studies bear out predc-
tions of highway builders and others that
traffic arteries which afford driving and
passing lanes on each side of a central
barrier must be the eventual solution OF
traffic problems Modern automobiles
are speedy contraptions and it is reason
able to assume that the element of safety
is enhanced by wider highways which
permit speeding cars going in opposite
directions to pass given point without
crash That is what the four-ane artery
does A lot of gasoline has run under
the hood since the automobile entered
the traffic picture and literally paved
the way for the super-highways of the
present day The faster the fuel flows
the wider and better the highways must
be.
Highways of the future which carry
the main channels of traffic will be of
the four-lane type.

WHO'S, PRAYING?

Radio announcers, with. their usual
amount of imagination, this week told
the world that Imperial Valley people
were "naying for relief from an un-
bearable heat wave which sent tempera-
lures skyrocketing to unheard of heights.
1t most certainly is hot in Imperial
Valley. Nobody wants to deny it.
There seems to be no way to convince
radio announcers and newspaper report
ers in other parts of the country, how
ever, that 115l degrees is no hotter in
Imperial Valley people than 81 or 80
degrees is to people in San Francisco or
Los Angeles You can even point out that
people die from the heat when it reaches
90 to 95 in a place like San Francisco,
and continue healthy and hearty at 115
to 118 degrees in Imperial Valley, but it
ssems to make no impression. Beyond
those limits the heat here may prove
fatal, but usually only to the aged or
infirm.
The trouble with these fellows is-and
we risk jibe about typical Californian"
in saying it-that they look at the tenn
perature and ignore the humidity.

CONFUSING OPINIONS
(Nerada State JOurndi)

The state of confusion existing among
the experts over the burning question OF
"Will there be war soon?' can be judged
by two articles appearing recently in
leading serious magazines. Both articles
were written by men of reputation with
a fair claim to being authorities on events
abroad. One was entitled There Will
Be No War" The other was entitled
Hitler Must Fight"
One theory which is encouraging to the
beleaguered democracies of Europe is
that Hitler cannot afford a war for the
reason that it would bring with it an
excellent chance of revolution at home
and that Hitler knows this, even as he
and other Nazi officials attempt to dis
credit it publicly. Certainly an excellent
argument can be made in support of the
theory. The Nazi regime has outlawed
labor unions. 1t has fought the churches,
especially the Catholic. 1t has imprisoned
untold thousands of dissenters in concen-
tration camps, and executed many. 1t has
driven other thousands into exile. The
prosecuted people have families, friends,
connections. Not much is heard from
these possible dissenters-the iron heel
of the gestapo prevents that-but it is
logical to believe that a substantial pro-
portion of the German people hate the
regime in power, and are waiting for the
day when it may be destroyed
In the countries which Hitler has SUBJ
jugated-such as Austria and the Czech
provinces-conditions are still worse from
the Nazi point of view: Production in fac
tories has slowed down. tremendously
expensive policing job has become neces-
sary, and well supported accounts of
sabotage are current.

WHATEVER IS WRONG.
MONEYS TO BLAME

The root of all evil has been dug up,
hewn to the proper shape and set up as
Whipping block on which are punished all
manner of scarecrowS, straw men and
scapegoats conceived in the busy minds
Of politicians, schemers and promoters.
Money not only is the root of all evil,
II you believe the politicians and pro-
moters. 1t is the root of all opposition,
also. Every since politics was initiated,
II has been good strategy to charge as
loudly as you can that your opponent
has been bought off, or is doing whatever
II is he's doing because there's money it it.
The New Deal developed new angle
on the old game by charging that all the
newspapers of the entire country oppos-
ed New Deal policies because ''Sixty Fam
lilies" controlled the newspapers.
Now comes an organization which puts
even the New Deal in the shade; an or
ganization so wild in its claims that even
the New Deal has repudiated it.
1t is the organization seeking passage
of the so-called Ham-and-Eggs pension
plan at special election of California
November 7th.
National Ham and Eggs" periodi-
cal published by pension headquarters,
sounds the theme song this week in an
editorial declaring the plan is opposed
by those led by "the terrible power of
entrenched money" Then it says
"Who are our enemies? They are
group of self-ordained plutocrats who
by every trick and device, have clamped
their iron rule on a bewildered people"
There are a lot of plutocrats in Cali
fornia, judging from the vote against
the pension plan less than a year ago.
While it is not true that widespread
opposition to the pension plan is inspired
purely by 'big business" it is true that
money is the root of opposition to the
plan. For that matter, money is the
root of the plan itself. The plan prom
ises everyone over so weekly payment,
for no return, of $50. That's all there
is to it. 1t appeals to the LATEST kind
of greed possible 1t is the old some
thing-for-nothing plan all wrapped up
in new coverings.
California would be bankrupt if it at
tempted to put the Ham-and-Eggs pen
sion plan into effect. Most of those who
oppose the plan realize that fact. If that
realization, and the fear of bankruptcy,
makes a man plutocrat, then there are
a lot of plutocrats in the state who have
MT enough money themselves to start
bank account.

of things would be discussed. TWO
prominent congressman might be
invited in to debate some pending
bill; parliamentary procedure might
be hashed over; group talks on cr-
rent issues might take place.
In any case, Allen was one of
this group. Whether that had any
thing to do with it or not. the fact
is that he is different man than
he was last session.
Certain of the New Dealers be-
wall the change, but it has increas-
ed his influence in Congress; and
the impression he made in the neu-
trality fight has heightened his COL
leagues opinion of him-not SO
much because they enamored of
the proposition he presented as be-
cause they liked the sober, earnest
and able way he presented it. Allen,
in short, emerges from the whole
business as a conner
Another congressman who got in
creased prestige out of the fight
was this Stanley of Connecticut
He revealed himself as an excep-
tionally forceful and able debater
and as q rather remarkable au-
thority on constitutional law. He
comes from New Haven. but he is
not-as his familiarity with con-
stitutional law mace some of the
boys suspect a Yale professor;
just likes the subject and spends
all his spare time boning up on it.

wASHINGTON.-Some

WASHINGTON.-Some of the
most intensive politicking of the
session occurred during the fight
in the House of Representatives
over the proposal to repeal all neu-
trality legislation and let the country
get along on the 1914 basis.
The Effort lost by a big majority
bit it threw a life-sized scare into
the leadership of both parties while
it lasted-and it briefly focused the
on a talented young congressman,
Robert G.. Allen of Pennsylvania.
Allen was the man who introduced
the resolution which would have
repealed all neutrality legislation.
A member of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, whish presented the
Bloom bill to the house, he was ac-
cused on the floor of springing a
huge surprise-which happens to
be untrue.
His proposal had been discussed
frequently before the committee
At one stage even Acting Chairman
Sol Bloom himself was inclined to
support it. In the end he SHE'D away
from 1t; whereupon Allen called to-
gether crop of sympathizers and
laid plans for an independent fight
On the matter. In the group were
such men as Congressman John
Wadsworth and Bruce Barton of
Ney York and James A. Stanley
of Connecticut.
And although the Democratic
leadership in the House worked
to beat the resolution, it is learned
that the State Department was by
no averse to it; felt, in fact, that
repeal of everything would be fine
stuff, but doubted that the time
was ripe to spring it. AS matter
of fact. at least part of the Demo-
cratic high command in the House
was at one stage of the game pre-
pared to let the resolution go
through.
The fight marked an interesting
stage in the development of al
len as a Congressman
He is now in his second term
a handsome, Youthful. stocky chap
from Greensburg, Pa. who started
his career here as an ltra leftwing-
er of the Maury Maverick group
and who has since been shifting
over toward the middle of the mid
die of the road. Correctly, or other
wise, his colleagues credit this shift
partly to the influence of Con
gresham Hatton Summers of Tex

of the people they will meet so
that when you introduce them
there will be no mumbling or
stammering.
2. If you are guest, help your
hostess. If it's small informal
gathering, you may even help with
the dishes. But be it ever so for
NAL, you can still pass another
guest an aSh-tray or make an in
PRODUCTION. Your hostess will ap-
preciate your thought and help.
3. When once you have said
goodbye, leave. Don't stand chat
ting in the hallway for half an
hour. And you aren't expected TO
give an individual goodbye to ev-
cry guest-one is enough, with a
smile.
4. Write lots OF nice notes and
letters. Thank you notes, of course.
Remember to congratulate parents
when their children win honors
at school, and that old people and
sick folks like even a short note
and perhaps an amusing clipping
from the paper.
5. Don't insist on guest TAX
ing more drinks. cigarettes or food
than he wants. If he refuses. he
has a reason; and forcing atten-
ton on him only makes him feel
conspicuous If you know that any
guest likes more than one cock
tail. fill his glass casually.
6. Don't apologize constantly for
the condition of your house, your
dinner, your appearance. People
will feel more comfortable if you
take them for granted. and they
probably won't notice the mis-
placed chair or the too-Strong cof-
fee, if you don't refer to it a.
though it were major crime.
7. Don't make lot of fuss
about who should go through 6
door first. If you're there, &c
through.
8. Don't get into arguments ane
discussions you'll regret later.
little tact in conversation will
keep word battles away, and M
one can argue if you won't argu
with them. Religion, politics, ant
the depression can be discussed
lightly and interestingly-but neve
passionately in a social group.
Now see if you can't employ a
least one of these rules today
Do you think you will ''lose face
as the Chinese express it, from
asking for suggestions, Or takin'
the advice, of those working TO
you. or holding position no
equal to yours? Well, here's wha
one successful man thinks abou
it. Joseph P. Day, New York
most successful real estate auc
tioneer says that he will take sug
gestions from his office boy. H,
admits that much of his success
has been due to accepting the opin
ions of those working in a lowe
capacity than his own. He furthe
says that a man who will not TAX
suggestions from people below hin
has not the qualities that maxi
for success.

ly pushes or knocks against an
other person, appears to be grow
ing. Show that you are uncontam-

the times by taking time to say
you are sorry if you accidentally
