A Danger to the Town

Heavy trucks, carrying in
flammable products, should
not be allowed to travel the
streets of Smyrna, but made
to detour around the town. If
a collision with one of these
trucks occurred within the
town, and the load ignited, it
is possible that blocks of
houses could be set afre, and
considerable damage done.
There may be one chance in a
thousand that this would hap
pen, but it is not worth the
lives and properties of the
people of this community to
take the risk of that one
chance. 1t is better to make
a law to this effect as a pre-
ventative, rather than suffer
loss and ruin as a cure.

ers before being inspected and the
defects adjusted, while the remain
ing 6,S61 are still potential acci-
dent hazards. Although all of
these automobiles may not have
become involved in an accident, the
possibilities are that some of them
may have, so we can definitely say,
that the inspection of the Cars did
result in having defective automo-
biles adjusted and thus the hazard
was eliminated. 1t should be worth
the time spent at the lanes by all
Delawareans to know that other
automobiles as well as his own
were in good mcdaniel condition
Ito eliminate the brakeless won
ders and the one-eyed cars, and the
binding cockeyed headlights. This
expense is being borne by the
State of Delaware, and is being
borne for the safety of every per-
son in Delaware. 1t should be the
duty of everyone in the state own
ing a motor vehicle to have it in
spected as soon as possible. It
should be remembered that the car
inspection is being promoted for
the protection of everyone. The
following list shows the number of
defects exposed and which will
have or will be corrected under the
inspection system which will last
to the end of August: Licenses and
plates, 141; lights, 2,O6S; tires, 566;
mirror, SO; windshield and all
glass, 1,400; Windshield wiper, 122;

The Privilege of Voting

1t is the duty of every per-
son old enough to vote to reg
lister for the coming election.
In times like these, with war
conditions abroad, and vital
issues at home, the outcome
of this falls election is of ut
most importance. So import
ant that every vote that can
be cast by the men and wo-
men of this community is
needed. 1t should not only
be looked at in the light of
duty, but also as a privilege.
A privilege that we, who live
in a free country, have a part
in the government of that
country. A privilege, that
we have a voice-THAT WE
ARE THE GOVERNMENT.
A privilege, that we can cast
a vote for what we sincerely
believe is right, and for the
ideals and ideas we uphold. A
privilege that no dictator can
tell us how to vote, and pun
ish us with death if we dis
obey. Look toward Europe,
and enjoy these privileges.
Only the ungrateful could fail
to register and vote. All low
ers of freedom will vote.

GERMAN PARTNERS

Despite the Intervention of Arthur
V. Davis, chairman of the Alumni
mum Corporation of America, the
justice department is going ahead
with its grand jury proceedings
against that company and the giant
German chemical cartel, l. G. Far
benindustrie, for alleged violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law in the
production of magnesium.
Magnesium is an alloy even light
er than aluminium and is used in
the manufacture of airplanes. 1t
was in such demand by Germany
for Hitler's airplane program, that
Germany paid cash for American
magnesium, even when she was des-
perately hard up for exchange.
Mr.. Davis came into the Justice
department and offered all sorts OF
cooperation to the government.
But the department antitrust eX-
perts figure that it is too late. They
have taken the position that when
an American company co-operates
with Germany to restrict produc-
ton of an important metal, it ham,
pers national defense by discourag
ing American industry in peacetime
The magnesium industry, they fig.
ure, should have been developed suf,
ficiently during peacetime so that il
could be expanded very rapidly now
in an emergency.
1t is also their contention that the
restriction of magnesium production
in normal peacetimes discourages
airplane manufacturers from exper
imenting with this very important
alloy and learning to make full ust
of it.
So the grand jury investigation
now in progress in New York, vii
continue.

together with
Oscar Chapman, assistant secretary
of the interior and Norman Littell,
assistant attorney general, started
to organize that convention Of lib
erals to be held in Salt Lake City.
The project persisted as the conse-
quence, so at least it is said, Of a
statement by John L. Lewis that
the convocation had for one Of its
primary objects the formulation Of
plans to assist in the launching Of q
third-term boom. Since then suspi-
cion has been entertained that the
symbol, two crossed fingers, has not
accurately suggested the relation.
ship between the two men.
While still a professor at the
University Of Chicago, Dimock
was appointed consultant to the
national resources commission.
Then Secretary of Labor Fran
ces Perkins retained him to sur
vey the procedure Of the immi-
grafton and naturalization serv-
ice and afterward named him
as her second assistant secre-
tary with full authority over that
agency. It was post that had
been vacant for two years as
result of the appointment Of Ar
thur J. Altmeyer as a member
Of the social security board.
Here Dimock served with efficien-
cy until last July when he was trans
ferred to the department of justice
following removal of the immigra-
ton and naturalization service from
the labor department. If he goes to
the NLRB he will succeed ]. War
rem Madden, the chairman whose
fve-year term of office expires the
latter part of this month. And, il
he does receive the appointment, it
is not certain he will be named
chairman, although the possibility
exists.
In various outgivings designed
to acquaint both labor and bust
ness with his theory that there
was no quick route to social sta
bilization Dimock has often spo-
ken with tolerance and c0gency,
but with firmness as well. As for
instance: Business must ac-
cept a new order in a period Of
administrative growth and ex-
Fermentation" He was speak
ing, among other things, Of the
Wagner act and the fair labor
standards act. Growing pains
he regards as an inevitable re-
suit of SO much new legislation
in recent years. ''They will di-

ministrators gain more expert

Secrecy CoUers
Movements of
German Lawyer

which, indeed, was generally known
in business and government circles.
His arrival in this country from
Germany via Russia to California,
thence to New York, last February
was duly noted, as was that of his
wife and two sons, aged eight and
six, fortnight ago.
His visit, he said at the time,
involved special mission deal
ing with postwar economic ad-
justments. The fact that, as a
lawyer, he has represented the
interests of many American
firms in Germany supplied
plausibility to the reason ad-
vanced for his presence here.
But an element Of mystery de-
veloped as a result Of his where
abouts after arriving in New
York. He lived in various ho-
tells, and finally established head
quarters at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Here with secretary, the hand
some Baroness Irmingard Won
Wagenheim, taking messages
and receiving telephone calls,
the doctor himself was rarely
in evidence. Inquiries ~ to
where he might be found elected
vague response.
Eventually he was discovered q
