TAFT CLAIMS NEW
 DEAL HAS FAILED

New Haven, Conn.,, May 13- (UP)-U. s. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio believed today the New Deal has failed, because there is no one in Washington who knows what to do, except to spend more money"
 And so far as this measure goes, Sen. Taft told the Yale political union in a debate, ''it seems to me it is only a broken reed"
 Sen. Taft defended the affirma- tive in an informal debate on the resolution: "The welfare of the United States demands the return to power in 1940 of the Republican party"
 Members of the political union voted 53 to A to reject the resolu- ton.
 ~The only way to solve our eco- homie ills," the senator said, "the only way by which we have ever put people back to work is by the method of encouraging private en- terprise and returning to private employment those on the relief rolls.
 "If business conditions are to get back to normal, the measures to regulate business and private indus try should and must be aban- doned."
 Several student speakers aided in the debate.

 Judge Edw. Finn

made lifetime cripple or invalid. The evening drive is not really rest full If 1t turns out to be a series of hair-breadth escapes. The pedes- trian who returns to his car or home or office with a sigh of relief that he has successfully managed a ser- les of hazardous traflc hurdles does not feel refreshed.
 Some people think of the public good; others do not. People who do realize the value of sound laws and obey them. People who do not, ig- nore laws and have to be made to obey them. Whether we belong in the first or second group of people depends largely on the quality of our education. If our training has given us the ability to see things from the point of view of the pulp lie godo, we shall welcome sound la reinforcement. If our education mo matter how extensive has given us no more than 8 selfish point of view, we may SO disregard the public good as to be 8 nuisance on the highway. Law must then be enforced"
 Everyone Safeguarded ;
 Enforcement is for the purpose of safeguarding both motorists and pedestrians. It is most effective when it is strict, certain and quick. Young students from driver classes, who will, in all probability, drive skillfully and well, should welcome strict enforcement of sound traffic avs. Poor and indifferent drivers and pedestrians without training and skill, are the ones who at the same time fear and need enforce. ment. Well-controlled, orderly traf- fic safeguards the pedestrian and preserves the pleasure of motoring.
 Our own city of Waterbury can be pointed out as an example of the part strict law enforcement can play in reducing accidents. Enforcement in Waterbury is thorough and sound. law enforcement has been made fact"
 Although traffic has increased in Waterbury by some 19 percent in the last few years we have cut our accident figures in half. We cut our traffic death rate in 1888 A per- cent; from 16 deaths in 1887 to g in 1888. Automobile insurance rates have decreased well in excess of 50 percent. Law enforcement has sure- ly helped produce these results, During the same period traffic fa- talities have increased in other To- calities where enforcement is lex",
 Why get excited about reducing the number of traffic accidents and then balk at sensible law, enforce ment? In any sincere effort to stop traffic accidents, it is necessary to strike. through law enforcement, at one chief source of trouble-the in- driver and pedestrian who fails to cooperate"

 Russia. In fact, Turkey was re. ported to have delayed negotiations until 1t was satisfied that British Russian negotiations were going well.
 Turkey and Russia are already cooperating. Vladimir Potemkin, Russian vice foreign commissar started his recent flying tour in Turkey and proceeded on to Bull garia, Rumania and Poland. To- day Paris reported that Grigore Ga- fencu, Rumanian foreign minister, would visit Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey next month in an effort to form powerful Balkan Black Sea combination which would be part of the security front"
 Russia and Turkey both seek to bring Bulgaria into the security front by composing its long stand ing differences with Rumania. Po- temkin talked over this possibility with the Turkish and Rumanian foreign ministers on his recent tour; Turkey has been negotiating separ- ately with Rumania and Bulgaria, and 1t was expected that 0afencu's visit would advance negotiations.
 Jugoslavia, according to diploma tic reports, seemed lost to the 'se- curity front" or . Balkan entente because of the pressure of Germany and Italy, facing her frontier.

Strict law enforcement has played a major role in Waterbury's re- markable record of accident reduc- tion, says Police Superintendent William J. Roach in a safety state- ment today. Traffic laws, he says have been established for the benefit of both driver and pedestrian, and it is to the advantage of both to obey them.
 Through strict enforcement, says the police chief, Waterbury has been able to cut its accident totals in half, while traffic in the same period has been increasing steadily.
 Issues Statement
 Supt. Roachs statement follows:
 1.-TWO weeks ago I made the state ment to the press that no matter how well-informed we are as drivers and pedestrians, we need the assist ance which can come through en- forcement and education. This week I wish to state the following about enforcement.
 For whatever purpose we use the highway, there is no pleasure or profit in riding or walking when life is constantly in danger or when at any instant one may be

CITY YARDS PLAN
 MEETS OBJECTION
Bunker Hill Residents PrO= test Transfer to TsOla=
 ton Hospital

Residentsof Bunker Hill and Wa tertown avenue have begun circula- tion of petition opposing the proposal that the city yards be transferred from Benedict street to the isolation hospital on Watertown avenue. The matter will be taken up by the Bunker Hill Improvement association at its next meeting.
 The suggestion for the transfer was made to the board of finance Thursday by Commissioner John H. Goss, who said the plan had been suggested to him by Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming. MT. Goss said he favored the proposal, since it would enable the hospital to be put to practical use and make possible the sale of the present city yards property.
 The text of the petition follows:
 To Whom It May Concern:
 We the undersigned residents and taxpayers in the vicinity of the Isolation hospital in the city of Wa terbury on Watertown avenue, do hereby and herewith earnestly and emphatically protest any suggestion or proposal of the finance board or others to use the Isolation hospi- tai and environs on Watertown avenue for city yard.
 We object to any proposal to es- tablish storage yards, offices and processing plants for street depart ment work in our vicinity because such action will deteriorate a well established and beautiful residential district. It will cause drastic reduc- tion of property values and great personal loss to property holders. Moreover it will mar and render unsightly the approaches to the new and beautiful athletic park.
 We, therefore, earnestly petition and suggest that a location other than the Isolation hospital or en- virons on Watertown avenue be se- lected for city yard.
