Shore-th Rood Club

Following up the success scored
last year Shell Oil Company, In
corporated, is again featuring this
season the popular Share the Road
club, which was created to launch
a crusade against the discourteous
motorists ON our streets and high
ways, according to James Harris,
Jr., local manager for the company
here.
The club will focus its attention
this year on another menace-the
"ScreWjay." He is the pedestrian
who against traffic signals crosses
the street in the middle Of the block
and disrupts the steady flow Of cars,
increasing -and-go driving. The
"ScreWjay" is step-brother to the
"Screwdriver,' and leading traffic
experts agree that together they are
responsible for more than one-third
of all stop and-go delays in traffic.
New and improved emblems are
being featured this year, and will
be given to motorists who wish to
display their colors as being in SYM
patty with this national movement
on the part of Shell to increase in
terest in better. traffic manners
These emblems do double duty In
that they glow at night and still
maintain the same design as last
year-marine signal flags in color
against a gold background. Tiny
/ crystal beads cover the emblem anc
/ reflect the light when headlights
are focused on them.
Local police and traffic authori-
ties have hailed this program as be.
ing in line with their efforts to pro
mote better manners on the busy
streets, materially reducing the an
noyance caused by unnecessary stop
and-go driving

New blasts from both major po-
litical party camps today famed
the presidential campaign fires.
Amid charges and counter
charges, these developments stood
out:
Secretary of Interior Ickes, an
nouncing he would make a speech
"as political as can make it, at
Akron, Ohio, october Is, issued a
statement asserting political
bNtzkrieg," backed by big money"
was about to start in favor Of the
Republican nominee, Wendell Will
kie.
The cabinet officer said he had
received word that group of big
businessmen had met IN Chicago,
decided that the Republican Ma
tional Committee was doing lousy
job" and "shelled out s36,500 In
a few minutes as starter toward
better campaign advertising, radio,
billboards and political literature"
Calls Pinchot "Another Flop
From Henry P. Fletcher, former
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, came statement
that Clifford Pinchot's declaration
for President Roosevelt was lust
another flop by rambling politician
who goes back on his word when
ever it suits his purpose Mr..
Fletcher said that the former Re-
publican Governor of Pennsylvania
had given a solemn promise to sup
port the Republican nominee for
Governor in 1888, but instead voted
for the Democratic candidate
William M. Hutcheson, president
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, came out in support of
Mr.. Willkie, declaring that the lat

would deprive "the common man"
of his democratic rights. "Perpetua-

time after time. Labor is the first
and chief sufferer from the rise of
dictatorship"
Senator Norris, Nebraska 1nde-
pendent, told reporters he would
make tour to the Pacific Coast to
urge the reelection of Mr. Roosevelt,
and John Cudahy, Ambassador to
Belgium, said. after a White House
call, that he thought he would
speak in Central States.
Goss Backs Willkie.
A former aide in the Roosevelt
Administration, Albert S. Goss, one
time Land Bank Commissioner, an
nounced he would support Mr..
Willkie. He gave three reasons:
Roosevelt is leading us into war;
he has been leading us into bank
Suptcy; opposition to a third term" !"

came announcement that public
hearings had been ordered next week
on charges by unnamed persons that
Federal relief jobs were being in
creased prior to the November elec-
ton. Chairman Gillette also dl-
rected investigators to look into al
legations that the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration had en-
gagged In political activities in viola

Evening star., 1940-10-11

Clifford Pinchot, former Republican
Governor and still power in
Pennsylvania politics, was received
at the White House-just prior to
his release Of a statement that he
will extend his active support to
the national Democratic ticket of
Mr.. Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace.
Yesterday, the President con-
ferred at some length with John B.
Kelly, Democratic leader in Phil
adelphia, and a second trip to the
Philadelphia Camden area is an
admitted possibility.
Meanwhile, Republican efforts to
capture the State are equally in
tense, with Wendell Willkie already
having made major addresses at
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Although spokesmen Of each side
have claimed safe majority for
their candidate, the electoral vote
tabulation in last Sundays Star,
based on special correspondence
from Pennsylvania, places this State
among nine presently showing no
convincing trend toward either
party. Ohio, incidentally, is in the
same category Of uncertainty.
Tomorrow, Mr.. Roosevelt will visit
Fort Hayes at Columbus and con-
suit there with officers of. the 5th
Army Corps and the 5th c. C. G..
area headquarters. Due in Dayton
about lunch time, he will visit the
Wright Memorial and Wirth Field,
and in the late afternoon will call
at the home of James M. Cox, news
paper publisher, former Governor
and nominee in 1920, when Mr..
Roosevelt was candidate for the
