OF War Supplies Waited
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Back in Washington after nearly
two weeks vacation cruising in
Southern waters, President Roose-
welt conferred at the White House
this morning with legislative and
foreign policy advisers.
Concerned primarily with the
course of international develop
ments, the rate of American defense
production, and the speed at which
military supplies can be delivered
to Great Britain and Greece, the
President talked by telephone twice
with Undersecretary of State Welles.
From the Labor Department he
also received word from DR.. John
r. Steelman, head of the Councilia-
ton Service. that negotiations be-
tween representatives of manage
ment and labor in the soft coal in
dustry had resumed this morning
in New York City. Mr.. Roosevelt
suggested continuance of the nego-
tiations in telegram sent from his
special train en- route north last
night, after a deadlock in the dis
cussions had indicated that the soft
coal industry would be tied up for
protracted period.
Food Supplies Discussed.
First to visit the White House on
consultation with the President this
morning were the legislative leaders,
Vice President Wallace. Speaker
Rayburn, Senator Majority Leader
Barley and House Majority Leader
Mccormack.
After remaining with the Chief
Executive for nearly an hour and
three-quarters this group emerged
from the White House to say the
discussions had covered the entire
legislative and defense situation.
Particular attention was paid,
Senator Barkley said, to labor con-
ditions in the defense industries,
but no specific legislative proposals
were decided upon. The Senator
said there was no discussion of taxes
or of the possibility of conveying
merchant shipping to England.

New Devices Settle
Arguments on Speed,
Safety Congress Told
NotionoI Councils Report
Says Intelligent Use
Eliminates Traps
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Speed traps
can be eliminated through the in
telligent use of new devices which
settle the old dispute between mo-
torists and policemen as to how fast
the speeders are going. the National
Safety Congress and Exposition was
told today.
The National Safety Councils
Committee on Speed Regulation.
which recommended use of the new
devices. based its prediction on four
years of Nation wide research.
The device may be as simple as
stop watch in the hands of a
traf1ic 0fficer to clock the motorist
over a measured and conspicuously
marked stretch. 1t may be as COM
plex as a dio-activated electric eye
to record the photo-start and photo
finish Of driver over . similarly
measured strip.
The speed-checking devices permit
ofhcers to tell ears speed rs soon
as 1T. passes q given point. Before
they are used. however, reasonable
speed limits are posted to conform
with results Of engineering studies.
Use of these devices in an intelli-
gent municipal speed-control pro-
gram puts an end. the committee
report said, to the old speed trap
with a motorcycle ofhcer waiting in
ambush. Their use also eliminates
arguments over whether the ON
GERS speedometer is set too fast, as
we'll as the possibility of conspiracy
between the arresting ofIicer and a
corrupt. fee-splitting judge.
The new devices are in general
use in Cincinnati. Minneapolis,
Kansas City and Des Moines.

ITO put it bluntly. until our pro-

have to choose between letting the
British people grow more hungry,
less able to resist. or ration our own
use of some critically important
foods.
otherwise there may be a sky
tocketing OF prices and boarding of
those foods which will deprive the
neediest of our own people of the
foods they, too. must have for health
and strength
DR.. Parran asserted that the mar
row margin between the present
British food rationing and wide
spread malnutrition" was becoming
critical, and added.
For our own country to be prop
erly fed, we need to increase by so
per cent the production of our milk

desperate need of Great Britain for

protein foods, and you begin to see
