TT AND

THERE have been so many accidents at Fifth
1 and Market streets recently that public
thoueht is concentrating on ways and means
IN improve traffic conditions at that 1ntersec'
ton. The problem is one Of importance because
the fountain there, which is among Whining
TOMS greatest scenic attractions, is the cause
of most of the trouble.
Reautiful as 1t is, it creates a definite hazard.
Collisions between motor vehicles are ire
ouent. Drivers rounding the fountain out OF
Fifth into Market, or vice versa, are at a dis
ADVANTAGE because the view of traffic approach
ing the opposite direction is obscure. And tnat
traffic is moving on the green light, its proper
signal for advancing.
Several remedies are available. One, propos-
ed nv some observers, is to re.iove the foun-
open plaza. This, of course, would be effective,
but would meet the determined opposition OF
all beauty lovers, who would agree that any
other site chosen for its establishment would
not be as satisfactory. And they would be right.
No other place in Wilmington would do so well
for 1t. But the auCnOTlLleS WOulu Ue JuSIAASu LII
weighing the beauty of the fountain in its pres
ent location against the safety Of trafac, If they
take UP the solution of the problem its presence
creates.
Should the decision be against removal, the
accident hazard could be materially lessened by
forbidding any turn at Fifth and Market. It is
a fact that a large majority of the accidents
there involve cars swinging around the foun-
tain, and not those moving straight ahead.
Eliminate the turns and many crashes would
be eliminated too.
Merely to continue operation of the traffic
signals into the wee small hours Of the morn.
ing, as some have proposed, would offer no re-
lief, as is proved by the fact that many acci.
dents come during the hours the signals now
function, and frequently in daylight.
1t is up to the authorities to deal with the
matter, but that something should be done
speedily is obvious. Further dela.. may well
prepare the way for tragedy. A fatal accident
would be inexcusable, if it were proved that
Indifference to a known hazard was the pre-
disposing cause.

FARLEY IN THE KNOW

So far as is known, Mr.. FARLEY occupies
the unique position of being the only man in
the country enjoying Mr.. RoosEvE1r's complete
confidence respecting the Presidents attitude
on a. third term. That is a secret many thous.
ands of Americans have most earnestly wish
| ed to share during recent months.
In revealing it to the chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, Mr.. ROOSEVELT
must have had in mind the good purpose of
smoothing the way for the leaders as the forth
coming party convention, that the sessions in
Chicago may move easily and without internal
conflict toward the harmonious adoption of a
platform and the nomination Of a candidate.
As head of the Democratic party it is emin-
emily fitting that Mr.. ROOSEVELT should take the
party chairman into his confidence. But that
Mr.. FARLEY should also take the public into his
confidence would undo all that President RoosE-
WELT has so carefully accomplished throughout
this trying period Of war and unsettled world
conditions for the Strengthening of our nation
al position. If he had to deal with foreign
powers as a candidate for Office his prestige
as President would be lost. It is imperative,
therefore, that he be recognized abroad as head
of the nation as long as possible, that is until
the convention opens or, if he is to retire, I'M
til his present term expires, rather than as an
aspirant for the presidency.
Mr.. FARIEY's position, revealed in his press
conference following the historic meeting be.
tween himself and Mr.. ROOSEVELT at Hyde Park
on Sunday, is soundly taken. He cannot, in
the circumstances, pass the Presidents secret
the word. For another week, the American
public will have to content its soul in patience
on the tremendously important question of a
third term or another democratic candidate for
the presidency.

A DESPICABLE CRIME

There are few crimes more utterly despic.
able than the bombing at the New York
Worlds Fair which killed two detectives and
seriously wounded five other persons.
Whoever planted this explosive in the Brit.
ish pavilion apparently had timed it to go off
at a moment when the building would be Jam.
med with Independence Day crowds. The only
possible purpose his act could have served
would have been the killing or manning of large
numbers OF innocent persons. Luckily the bomb
was discovered in time to prevent any large.
scale tragedy but, as it is, it has cost the live.
of at least two brave men.
Crimes Of this sort are, unfortunately. ex
tremely difficult to solve. The would-be mur.
derer and destroyer leaves 3 weapon behind to
do his work long after he is safely out of the
way. After the bomb has exploded only the
shattered fragments are left as clues.
This marks the third time in recent weeks
that the agents of hate and war have carried
their work Of destruction to New York. The
bombings of the Offices of the Communist Daily
Worker and the German consulate were of the
same conscienceless pattern; they also en-.
dangered innocent civilians in a peaceful citv
We cannot allow the continued spread of this
kind of warfare. For warfare it is, of a de.
spicable and cowardly kind. 1t is the sort of
terrorism that aits in the dark and runs away,
If it IS humanity possis'c the perpetrators must
be found. Even if they are not, we must take
drastic steps to prevent the spread of worse
terror and destruction

orator of Gore Bay, Ont, before she
met and married Daniel G. Dodge,
heir to a motors fortune, will re.
ceive approximately $500, 600 under
a settlement of his estate disclosed
today.
The agreement, approved by Pro-
bate Judge Arthur E. Moore of Oak
land county, settled all the 22-year'
old Widows claims to the estate Of
young Dodge, who died Is days after
they were married in August. 1888.
Injured in a dynamite explosion at
his lodge on Manitoulin island in
Georgian Bay, Dodge fell from a
motorboat which was carrying him
to a hospital at Little Current, Ont,
and drowned.
Daniel Dodge's will, leaving his
widow only a sum of $250.000 provid-
ed in a ~pre-nuptial agreement, and
the Manitoulin island lodge, was con-
tested. Today's settlement wrote an
end to nearly two years of litigation.
Dodge's estate was estimated at
about Sill, 000, 600, representing ac-
cumulated income from a $4O,OO0,OOO
trust fund set up by the late auto
mobile magnate John F. Dodge lot

Storage Of Aviation
Gasoline Is Proposed

WASHINGTON, July 8-N-Un.
foreground storage of a large re-

WAR TO CONTINUE

The announcement from Rome that the Axis
powers, through their chosen representatives
have decided to continue the war and even ex-
pand its operations should 60 far to set at rest
the umors Of peace, negotiations which have
crept into the press recently. Following Brit.
aims seizure of much of the French feet, it may
be accepted as indicating that Great Britain ia
IN accord with the decision. Unless London
Berlin and Rome are INDUCING in a gigan.
TIC and grim hoax, 1t is apparent that the Bat.
tie OF England will continue, on an ever in
creasing scale, and that the Balkans will be
sucked into the conflict.
What the outcome will be is, of course. he
yond anyone's guess. But it is apparent that
Great Britain has profted largely through the
French fleet seizure. She has not only acuuir.
ed it herself, and may be able to use it in de.
tense Of the isles, but has prevented it from
falling into HITLER's hands. 1t may never be.
come a deciding factor for the British in their
forthcoming operations. But that is secondary
to the fact that it cannot be used against her.
as HITLER doubtless would have used it de.
spite his pledge not to do so. With it In DOS
session, England will be better able to with.

would seem, England's possibilities Of ulti-
