Elevated Highway May
Solve Traffic Problem

Widening surface highways in
Irban areas is not the answer 10 the
raffic problem Of today. DR. Miller
.cClintock. director of the bureau
II street traffic research of Yale
University, told DELEGATES to the
Michigan Statewide Safety confer
ence recently.
We should cease trittering away
our money on such old-fashioned
makeShiftS as wider avenues and be-
gin to build intelligently for the tu-
ture," he said.
When we build an elevated high.
way, we do not need to condemn
property to make way for widen.
ing We do not need to cut off the
fronts Of valuable buildings. or
mUve buildings back
We increase the traffic hazard
when we widen a surface highway.
The pedestrian has a larger area in
which to get confused and when a
pedestrian gets confused in traffic he
usually lands either in the hospital
or the morgue.
Elevated or depressed highways
would prove of tremendous econom.
ic value. When we provide safe
highways of any kind for high speed
travel, the volume Of traffic in
creases tremendously. This has
been demonstrated every time an
elevated motor highway has been
opened in the East. Doubling Of
traffic is common on these road.
ways.

vised me and each time helped me
greatly. Now l am interested in
knowing if the auto have in mind
to take from this fellow would be
worthwhile investment for me as
l don't want to throw away my
money?
Ans: The car is we'll worth the
one hundred dollars the fellow
wishes for it but under no cir
cumstances should you give him
the money for the car without hav-
ing the papers drawn up legally.
A verbal agreement will not hold
water and in order to protect you

Ans: Neither can believe that
he loves you enough for marriage
when right now he is with AN
OTHER MAN. In the first place, he
doesn't think enough of her to be
true to her, and he doesn't think
enough of you to leave her and be
true to you. You are making a
mistake to waste your time on this
man.

Hello, Everybody:

Hello, Everybody:
Now that the holidays are over,
how many of you are afflicted with
after Xmas blues? One student
who has just returned from an out
of-town visit, says if he could COM
pose a song, all doleful and sad,
he would call it After Xmas
Blues" He says even the news
papers with their everlasting jan
uary linen sales, their depressing
pictures of London's wall street
laid waste and devastated and, last
but not least, the activities of Muir
der, Inc, make one all gloomier
than ever. Methinks he must have
left a heart-throb behind on his
visit. AS for US Twin Citians, we
still have the thrills of our last
Xmas parties to carry US through
January.
This Weeks Flash: Parkyour-

 The German communique termed Belfast as an important transit harbor" implying it had been used as a port of entry of war supplies from the United States.
 The communique said four ships were set afire in the harbor at Belfast and tremendous fires and explosions were observed from air. craft and other industrial plants.
 British officials said it was feared the casualties in Belfast are heavy.
 The previous raid on Belfast was April Is and caused 500 deaths.

(By Associated Press)

In the Near East, Great Britain's' struggle approached critical stage early this morning as the pro- German Government of Iraq cut the pipeline flow of oil to the Med- iterranean. '
 Late last night unconfirmed re- ports said Iraq troops were en- ircling the British air base gar-s rison at Lake Habbaniyal, 60 miles west of Baghdad and closing in but advices direct from the British headquarters at Cairo said most of the Air Force of Iraq has been already destroyed and the Iraq ar- tillery which pounded the besieged' air base has been rendered help less by our aircraft"
 Later advices said the garrison at Lake Habbaniyal is intact and suffered very few casualties.
 The official Cairo communique late this afternoon says British troops remain without interference in the occupation of the Bastra area at the head of the Persian Gulf.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May B. Fred Miller, mining machinery mechanic for the Caribou Mines, In- corporated, large placer mining concern operating in the Kantishna district, near Mount Mckinley Park, who guessed the Nenana ice would move at 1:50 o'clock on the morn ing of May 3, does not get the classics grand prize of $95,000 all by his lonesome.
 A message was received here late Saturday afternoon from J. E. Mas enius, Manager of the Caribou Mines, confirming the first reports that Miller, named as the winner of the Nenana ice contest was there but asserted seven others of the camp were partners with him on the winning date.
 Was Group Guess
 The message said:
 Caribou Mines mining crew won the Nenana ice classic. Eight in the group, namely, Fred Miller, Matt Bischoff, Herman Medford, Howard Macdonald, Francis Anderson, FL mer Larson, Arthur Erickson and J. E. Nasenius."
 Immediately upon receipt of the message, Pilot Frank Pollock flew to Kantishna with broadcasting crew of Radio Station KFAR with broadcasting equipment with which the men could tell their story to the world over the air. Following the broadcast made by Miller, Nasenius, Bischoff, Francis and Anderson, who rode a tractor IA miles from the mine to the landing field for the purpose, Nasenius flew here with Pollock and the KFAR crew to es- tablish the identity of the winners.
 Alaska Spirit Revealed
 The Alaska spirit asserted itself when the eight men who won the Nenana ice classic, promptly agreed among themselves, on hearing the news. to pitch in $50 each for a ninth, Al Anderson, the other man in the camp who was absent when they formed the group which picked the winning hour, minute and date.
 Anderson is a brother of Francis Anderson, one of the lucky eight.
 All winners are sourdoughs and have worked for Joe Nasenius, min- ing operator in various Alaska min ing camps, over 10 years.
 Their ages range from the thirties to the forties.

Senator Nye Infers Chief Executive Makes FeeIer,

WASHINGTON, May 5- Presi- dent Roosevelt's declaration that the American people are lever ready to fight again" for Democracy is interpreted in high Administration quarters as carrying new prom ise of virtually unlimited assis- tance to Nations resisting aggres- sion.
 This view is taken by some mem bers of the party. who accompan- jed the President to Staunton, Va, where he made the statement yes- terday in dedicating the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson as National shrine.
 Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota commented: If the Presi- dent is making feeler to a dec laration of war, he win be quickly surprise to see the people of Am erica do not want to be involved"
 Officials of the Presidential party noted that on the other hand, the President did not say Americans are ready to go to war but drew a distinction between that and the actual words used in the present instance.
 The President, it is claimed, used the word flight" in broad term covering strong material support of Democratic nation rather than military involvement in war.
 The President said: We are meeting to dedicate new shrine of freedom. By this action we are bearing true witness to the faith that is in us. simple faith in the freedom of Democracy ill the world. It is kind of faith which we fought for before and for the ex- istence of which we are ever ready to fight again.

National Broadeasting Co. Must Dispose of
 One System

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Officials of the National Broadcasting Com pany indicated today that they might challenge in the courts the Federal Communications Commis- sion order to force the corporation to discontinue either it's Red or Blue Network.
 The commission decided Saturday by a five to two vote to promulgate new regulations which Chairman Fly called the Magma Carta of Am erican radio stations"
 The regulations make it impos- sible for the NEG to continue to operate the two networks, and pro- hibits the licensing of two stations in the same area on one network unless it could be shown that this is being done in the public interests. The new rules regulate sharply con- tract affiliations between network stations.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-05-05

WASHINGTON-T are sev- eral important developments be- hind the plan to make the North Atlantic safe for "all" ships of "alf' nationalities.
 One is the conversion of the old battleship Wyoming into an aircraft carrier. From it's decks, after con- version, airplanes will scout the North Atlantic for submarines.
 The Wyoming is the oldest battle shi in the Navy, and came near being scrapped at the London Naval Conference of 1930 However, the Japanese wanted to keep one of their old battleships as training ship, so the United States countered that it would keep the Wyoming. Otherwise she would be scrap iron today-and probably sold to Japan. AS a training ship, her big guns were removed, but the Wyoming still can serve as an effective airplane carrier-especially in the North At lantic.
 Another development is the plan to take over the French luxury liner Normandie as another aircraft car- rier. Incidentally, the Normandie will be used not by the U. s. Navy, but will be under Henry Morgen- thau as part of the Coast Guard. It will be the biggest vessel used by any Coast Guard in world history.
 The Normandie was secretly de- signed by the French for conversion into an aircraft carrier A huge sports deck was built so that 1t could be quickly changed into an airplane landing deck. Two ele- vators were even installed at each end of the ship for the hoisting of planes.
 NAZI SUBMARINE TACTICS
 The use of airplanes in spotting submarines in the North Atlantic was worked out partly as a result of Nazi tactics in locating British vessels. For some time the Nazis have used airplanes to spot British conveys. then radiod their locat tion

Meet fine Man Who Could Moi Hear; Goes Deaf When
 Ordered 10 Make Protest
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 5--I want you to meet the man who couldn't hear. He is tall, handsome, friendly Henrik de Kauffmann, Danish Minister to the United States.
 There isn't a thing wrong with Mir. de Kauffmann's auricular pow CTS ordinarily, but he certainly went stone deaf when the Danish government ordered him to pro- test the seizure of those 58 Danish ships in American ports. He couldn't hear again when Copen- hagen denounced (and ordered him to void) the pact he had signed with the United States authorizing this country to take over the de- fense of Greenland.
 For the third time, his ear drums refused to respond when he was recalled as envoy extraordinary and Minister plenipotentiary to tn c United States. When finally a long cable came from Copenhagen with list of charges involving treason able acts" MT de Kauffmann didn't even bother to have them read to him.
 Speaking of those charges now he smiles big warm Danish smile and says. Any lawyer can go through the statutes and find laws which he can charge a man with having broken. I am too busy to be curious about how this lawyer has done his job
