Emphasis on Driving.
In the engineering field, the police
chief ordered his precinct men to

appearance of streets would lessen
the danger. These recommends

Maj. Brown, referring to enforce
ment, ordered that emphasis be
placed on arresting drivers who vio-
lated laws while their cars were
in motion-rather than violators of
parking laws. He said that police
would not be judged by the num-
ber of arrests they made, but by
the contributions they made to pro-
motion of safety.

against reduction Of the night speed

It might have been part of that
plot to overthrow the Government

until, like the G-men, they ran
down all the clues?'

precarious position, bottom side up
and resting on timber braces of a
40-foot sewer excavation at Twenty
sixth and M streets NV.

arrived at the scene they found a
colored man going away as swiftly
as possible on foot. The officers
overlook the man.
Il had nothing to do with that
automobile" he said. Il was just
looking at it."
Then what were you running
for?'
L was running" the officers said
the man replied, because one time
they put me in Jail for being near a
wrecked automobile. was just look
ing that time, too, but I didn't know
enough to runH'
The officers moved on to the car.
They found a dozen autotmatics-all
tin, the toys of juvenile "G-men."
The police arrested the man they
found near the scene. They were
holding him for investigation today.
The car, police learned, was stolen
from William Conklin of South Ar
lington, Va, after he parked it last

SAYS ROYAL AIRNIEN ARE 4 TO 1 BEST

A short time ago, the Juneau Empire printed heartening let ter from England in which TO- year-old father wrote his son, BurriSs Smith, airways mechanic of Juneau, of the fight which England is staging against Ger many.
 Recently Smith received anoth CT letter from his father who in- cidentally refused to come to the United States and stayed to raise produce for the soldiers on his little farm.
 The letter is as follows:
 T thought you would like to have even a short letter to show that we are still alive and kick ing.
 "The Huns are doing their damnedest, but our lads have got them beat in the air in the pro portion of about 4 to l and ours are fighting like gentlemen should, but the Huns do unspeak able things.
 When numbers in planes be- come anything like equal, the Huns won't have a dogs chance and we are catching them up very rapidly now.
 At sea, of course, they were beaten from the word go-so, my dears, although they are a damn ed nuisance, they will lose this war and be much worse off than they were last time, because now the whole world is sick of them.
 T am awful sorry that you are not here to help and see the fun. England was never anything like it Is now in the last war for soldiers and defenses and the navy and RAF already are giv- ing them He'll in their own coun- try and you will remember Ger many was immune in the last war and did not know what war was except their soldiers were killed - now they get bombed night after night.

ALASKA ROADS AND DEFENSE

Alaska's greatest gain under the proposed defense projects, II now appears will be in roads, the connection of existing random highways into an integrated SyS- tenn. Naturally enough, the Army wants to be able 10 move trucks, guns, troops and supplies by highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks in event the vulner- able Alaska Railroad should be put out of commission. Today it would be possible for a single enemy plane to completely iso- late the Interior Alaska base from Anchorage endorsements with one well-placed bomb on a railroad trestle. While troops were being moved by make-shift transportation down the Kenai Peninsula to Seward across the Gulf of Alaska by water and in- side by way of the Richardson Highway, untold mischief could be done by the invader.
 The Army insists upon a road connecting the present Anchor age road system with the Rich ardson Highway. A few weeks ago Hawley Sterling, Assistant Chief of the Alaska Road Com mission, baok-packed across the route on a reconnaissance trip. The proposed road, one which would cost Sl,5O0,00O to build ac ross some of the most difficult terrain in Alaska, has now been placed "at the top of the list of Alaska Road Commission new construction projects.
 The cost of the road, large as it is in comparison with what AL -aska has been able to spend on roads in recent years is hardly an item in a defense program which Congressmen say is likely to run to s15,00O,000 per year for the next four years in Alaska clone.
 The benefit of such a road to the development of Alaska would be almost incalculable. It would be the skeleton upon which a real Alaska road system couid be built. Ultimately it would draw branches from all the rest of Alaska, even from Southeast A aska. It would give Alaska development push which would send it far.
 More power to the national de- fense program which is bring ing so much of lasting benefit to Alaslla.-Juneau Empire.
