this morning from a Fourth of July
holiday at Hyde Park, N. Y
Barkley and Majority Leader
Rayburn, of the House, conferred
with him a few hours after his ar
rival
Asked about prospects on the
monetary legislation, Barkley said
81 think it looks all right"
On neutrality, he observed merely
that Mr.. Roosevelt's position has not
changed. At a press conference in
Hyde Park yesterday, the President
declared he wanted the existing
arms embargo scrapped. He stress
ed the belief that such action would
help to prevent war;
Both leaders said the Presidents
proposed. $3,86O, 100000 "self-liqui-
dating" lending program would be
put into bill form in few days
and introduced simultaneously ir
both houses. Neither floor leader
would forecast a congressional ad-
journment date.
Meantime, the Treasury, in a sud-
den change of policy, decided not tc
issue any silver prices or make any
other comments on the monetary sit
uation before the Senate votes late
today on the monetary bill.

efficient signals and signs-tll these
have helped the driver. He has been
taught to obey traffic rules and to
make use of them for his own pro-
lection.
"The job now is to do the same
thing for the pedestrian and to en-
phasize his Importance in any traf-
fic improvement program.'
Mr.. Hocutt is in thorough accord
with the Sorenson finding and he
also goes along with the latter in a
five-point program designed tc re-
duce fatalities among pedestrians.
l. Give pedestrians the benefit OF
modern traffic engineering-unde
passes, walking signals and pedes-
train islands in the city. Give him
walkways, sidewalks and similar de-
vices in the country.
2. Educate the pedestrian to use
these devices, and, even more i'm
portant to use and obey signals anc
other protective measures already
in existence.

Morehead, KY, July 15.-(AP)-
A "flash" flood inundated this east
ern Kentucky mountain town today
with a reported loss of life and
heavy property damage. Kelly Nc
Nish, manager of the Ashland Home
Telephone Company said he talked
briefly with the manager of the
Morehead branch, who reported 27
persons drowned in the flood waters.
Ashland is about 60 miles east of
MOrehead
This and two other Rowan county
towns, Farmers and Clearfield, vir'
tually we're Isolated after the waters
of creek, fed by cloudburst,

said the telephone wires "Went OUT
few minutes after he talked with
the Morehead manager.
A single telegraph wire from the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad depot
was operating, but was jammed with
requests for aid Trains between
Ashland and Lexington were being
routed by way Of Cincinnati. High

Pedestrians Lead

percentage of pedestrians killed was
even greater than that of the nation
at large. In the rural areas of the
country as a whole 26 out of every
hundred traffic fatalities were pc
destrlanS. In North Carolina 243 pc
deStrlans met death on rural roads
out OF a grand total of 679 killed
there-a percentage of almost 36,
ten points higher that the nation.
The National Councils committee
reported that of the 12,5OO pedes-
! trlans killed in traffic accidents last
year, tWo-thirds were violating
traffic ordinance or committing an
obviously unsafe act.
North Carolina's statistics don't
go quite far enough to work out an
exact percentage for this sort Of
Jay Walking", but they do record
these facts. In 1888 there were 25
pedestrians crossing between inter-
sections, Is running into the streets,
70 children playing in the streets.
IL coming from behind a parked car
ana one stepping from a curb. All
these can be set down as doing an
"obv1ously unsafe' thing; and it is
quite likely that many others would
TALL into the same category. For in
stance, there were SO pedestrians
Killed while walking on the high
ways, and it is as certain as certain
can be that many of them were
walking on the wrong side of the
road and wearing dark clothing at
night, further adding to their dan
gers.
North Carolina did something
better than the nation in the mat
ter OF drunken pedeStrianism, at
least IN the case OIL fatal accidents:
Tor whereas 13 per cent of all pc
destrians killed were reported to be
drinking, only 28 of the 1856 North
Carolina victims were so listed, a
percentage Of only slightly m ore
than eight
reporting on the reason for so
many pedestrian deaths, Leslie J.
Sorenson, chairman of the council
committee, had plenty to say, and
Mr. Hocutt agrees that what he said

North Carolina. Here are some OF
the Sorenson observations:
The pedestrian has been sadly
neglected. He has had to shift fol
himself very largely. AS a result
he has formed his own rules and
regulations, and they are not always
good.
He has evolved the simple philos-
ophy that his job is to get across the
street as best he can, regardless OF
the time or place. He joins with
other pedestrians in mass violation
Of traffic lights, blandly haltine
traffic and creating tremendous
hazards to himself and motorists.
"1n rural areas he walks on the
pavement, on the wrong side of the
road and wears dark clothing al
night, further adding to his danger

lection for motorists. Underpasses

bully at s chool on hard frozen ground, hitting his head and en- during long weeks of brain concus- sion.
 When he recovered he found his outlook on life changed. "A small tiger was born," he says. That "ti- ger" was to carry on lifetime of battle against injustice.
 In his case the shock was in safe hands, but the child who re- ceives mental shock, even though it may not involve a head injury, may decide inside of two minutes that he will never trust the world at large again. He may turn into fighter for justice, but he may also turn against everybody and everything.
 Shield Child From Crises
 This is the way the boy or girl should never meet up with a cricis that will set his face against the world.
 Parents themselves can unwit- tingly cross the border line of un- fairness. What they think fair and just is not altogether the point. The child, looking from within, has his ideas too. A prejudiced teacher, too, may add to the distrust of the pupil, as can older playmates.
 The instinct to fight back is not always a poor one. From the ranks of those with 1t have come our downright captains of the world. We find the reaction, and a fine one, in every walk of life.
 However, a mental scar does not always align itself against injus- tice. Too often the child sets his face against the world of law and order, and fights justice, too. He becomes chronic defensive" with distorted ideas of good, real anti social.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Conflict

Would your iodine treatment in- terfere with phenoborbital. (C.C.)
 Answer-I do not understand what you mean by my iodine treatment. Anyway, you should submit that question to your physician, who is the only person in position to an- swer it intelligently.
 Monographs
 I believe you have free treatise on diabetes. If so, I'd like to re- ceive copy. (TKM)
 Answer = Send three cent : stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress and ask for a copy of Diabetes.
 Inquiries -unaccompanied with three-cent-stamped addressed enve- lope will not be answered.
 CVD
 Your book on the Heart" arrived the day after I wrote that I had not received it. I have found it more enlightening and practically helpful than the information and advice received from may physi- clans. You have wonderful gift for making medical subjects under standable for the 1ayman. (E.R.C.)
 Answer-Well, that's my trade. Glad to send a copy of the CVD booklet, on the heart and arteries, on request. Enclose ten cent coin and three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Do not say City" or "Locap name your home town-I'li never tell anybody where you live.
 Tuberculosis Not Contagious
 Your statement that tuberculosis is not contagious disease has set me thinking. (K. U.)
 Answer-Co Contagious means trans ferred by contact. Infectious means caused by germs invading the tis- sues. Tuberculosis is infectious, prac- tically never contagious. Not casual contact but prolonged or repeated intimate contact or association is necessary for infection. Malaria is infectious, never contagious; like- wise yellow fever-mosquitoes con- vey these infectious, not personal contact. Scabies (the itch), derma- tophytoSis (athlete's foot, foot itch. ringworm) is contagious, but also infectious. According to all present
