Ideas for ending the Districts
traffic slaughter are pouring into
police headquarters. Here are 10 Of
them selected from the scores sub
mitted by citizens and police:
!. Paint white stripes across all
streets, a quarter Of q mile apart.
Put a policeman in a blimp, with
q stopwatch and telescope to watch
and time speeders between the
stripes.
2. Add 100 motorcycle policemen.
8. Let all motorcycle policemen
wear disguises, as messenger boys,
soldiers, etc. 50 they can sneak up
on speeders.
4. Paint all police cars in violent
colors so that motorists will see
them and be more cautious.
5. Paint all police cars 50 they
will look like private automobiles
and will thus be able to pull up on
1aw-breakers undetected.
s. Put 9 new accent on accident
prevention, rather than investiga-
ton after the accident. Put only
one man in each scout car and use
twice Is many scout, cars.

Price-Rigging Charged
To Italian Spectators
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 22.-Virginio Gayda,
writing in II Giornale dItala, &C
cused stock market spectators to-
day of artificially increasing the
value of industrial shares to cir
cumvent the government order
which limits dividends to per cent.
The editor, regarded as a Spokes-
man for Premier Mussolini, cited
instances in which textile stocks
and shares Of metal, mining, elec-
trio and other industries had sold
far above nominal values.
Spectators, he implied, were
holding back shares to create an
artificial situation and to simulate
a shortage of shares in the face
of a growing demand"

Ideas for Curbing Traffic Toll
Pour Into Police Headquarters

7. Depress the streets at all inter-
sections, so there will be q series
Of valleys. Motorists will have to
slow down to get across.
8. Put hundreds Of civilian spot
ters on the streets.
8. Make people who walk around
at night in dark clothes wear . white
cloth on their sleeves.
10. Require auto manufacturers to
put three lights on the front of au-
tomobiles; one would be green and
would show when the car was going
less than Is miles an hour; the next
would be amber, lighting when the
car was moving between IS and IS
miles an hour; the third would be
red, lighting at over IS miles an
hour.
One citizen suggested that acci-
dents were increasing because peo-
pie had 50 much on their minds,
what with taxee and wars.
He pointed out that the accident
record now was worse than anything
seen here since 193+durins the de-
preston, when people were worried.
But he didn't have an idea what
could be done about it.

Text of Churchill Speech
Britoin Now Has Gotten Into War Stride,
Prime Minister Informs Commons

protracted battle on the western
front in 1916, 1917 or 1918 and, there
fore, while our army is growing every
week in power, strength. efficiency
and equipment, and a decided ex-
pansion Is in progress. 1t is the mu-
milton factories and agriculture,
rather than the fighting services
which will in the next five or six
months make the chief demand for
manpower on the public. 1t is to
these problems and tasks that we
are now addressing ourselves.
Criticism is easy; achievement
more dificult. I do not pretend that
there is no room for improvement
and acceleration even apart from the
methodical expansion which is 60
ing on.
1t is certain the peak of our war
effort has not yet been reached,
cannot be reached, until plants are
all working. But my mind goes
back to few weeks ago when our
critics were crying out about our
inaction against Italy and wonder
ing whose was the hidden hand
that was shielding Mussolini from
British wrath.
At the time, endured these
taunts in silence because I knew
the large and daring measures which
had already been taken by which 1t
has been since rendered possible to
q q epl0n1i6 ui~ -, 7
Sidi Barrani and Bardia. And it
may we'll be that while I am speak
ing Tobruk and all it contains are
in our hands. Apart from the Libyan
victories. extremely important de-
velopments are taking place on both
frontiers of AbySsinia and Eritrea
which may in themselves be pro-
ductive Of fruitful and extremely
pregnant results
Now in War Stride.
Far be 1t from me to paint a rosy
picture of the future. 1 do not
think we should be justified in using
any but somber tones and colors
while our people and our empire
and indeed the whole English
speaking world are passing through
the dark and deadly valley. But I
should be failing in my duty on the
other side if I were not to convey to
the House a true impression, namely,
that this great nation has got into
its war stride.
1t is accomplishing the transition
from days of peace and comfort to
those of supreme organized, indom-
ltable exertion.
Still more should I fail in my duty
II I were to suggest that the future
with all its horrors contained any
element which justified lassitude,
despondency and despair.
His majeSty's government welcome
all the impulse which the House of
Commons and the press and public
opinion of this land can give us in
driving forward our war effort and
trying to gain an earlier inch or
more fruitful hour wherever it may
be possible. But I have no doubt
that the House in its overwhelming
ma jority will wish to give its tribute
OF encouragement as we'll as It's
dose of correction and will lend
to its own heave OF loyal strength
to the forward surges that now have
begun.

Suit on Failure to Deliver
War Cargo Dismissed
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va. Jan. 22.-In a
decision which may have a bear
ing in similar cases which are to
be heard here, Judge Luther B,
Way of the United States District
Court of Eastern Virginia yesterday
dismissed libel action against the
Italian steamer San Giuseppe for
$500 900 damages for failure to de-
liver a cargo of war materials to

The vessel. bound from Gulf ports.
put it here to coal on June and
was detained by an Italian ad-
miralty order of June 10 ordering
all Italian vessels into either Ital

the court held, was responsible for
delay in the shipment of the cargo,
which was trans-shipped to other
vessels here.

Agency 10 Supervise
Economic Defense
OF u. 5. Studied
Duties Would Include
Co-ordinotine All
Financial Controls
BY IRVING PERLMETER,
Associated Press Stan Writer

A Federal agency intrusted with
the responsibilities of economic de-
fense is being planned by President
Roosevelt. authoritative officials re-
ported today.
One OF the main tasks of the unit,
1t was said, may be to keep dollar
exchange and essential materials out
Of the hands of the axis powers
The projected agency, officials
stated, would be charged with CO.
ordinating all economic phases of
the defense program and would con-
stitute, in effect, a companion or
ganization to the ONCE of Produc-
ton Management-the Knudsen-
Hillman board which has been
placed in charge of the Nations
ornaments manufacture effort
The idea for such a component in
the defense Setup was understood to
have been broached first in the eco
nomic preparations which followed a
series OF secret pre-war conferences
at the Treasury in April, 1899.
Creation of Machinery Urged.
The duties OF the new unit, it was
said probably would include super
vision of such activities as: the
Treasury's control over foreign
funds and ships; the Federal Loan
Agency's purchase of strategic ma
terials: the Justice Departments
surveillance of axis business connec-
tions here, certain State Department
functions in the economic field, the
export control administration in the
White House, and an important ar
ray of other functions.
Approximately two months ago,
the National Defense Commission
called the Presidents attention to
the need for co-ordinating these ac-
tivities, and so many governmental
branches are involved that high Of
f1cials felt almost certain today that
the President would create an in
dependent agency, within the White
House framework
These officials said that creation
of the machinery for economic con-
trolls, rather than actual use OF the
powers. was the only step in pros
pect for the immediate future.
Freezing Funds Discussed.
One Of the most widely publicized
of these potential powers is a pro-
posal that the Treasury freeze"
the American funds Of every nation
on earth as it has already done to
the invaded European countries.
The purpose of this, officials said,
would be to disguise a control aimed
only at axis funds. But, they added,
it might prove clumsy and dan
gerous weapon, especially because
axis assets here we're not large. Mr..
Roosevelt told his press conference
yesterday that the freezing" of such
assets was one of many things which
had been under study for a long
time and remains under study.
Asked if an executive order to ac-
complish this impounding of assets
already had been drawn, he said
that 1t probably is among as many
as so such orders which have been
drafted 10 meet all possible con-
tingencies. The preparation Of such
a decree in advance should not be
considered Of particular significance,
he cautioned.
Another proposal reported under
consideration but not yet decided
would put the Federal loan agency
into the business of buying up stra-
tegic war materials in Latin Amer
lea and elsewhere to forestall axis
purchases.
