Germans Watch
Vi(hy, Paris Rift
By PIERRE rHUSS


BERLIN. Feb. 3.-GerTnan au-
thorities kept watch today on the
French political situation and the
developing controversy between
Vichy and Paris regarding collab-
Grafton with the Reich.
German quarters announced
Berlin would offer no objections
to the new French national
union" committee in Paris, which
favors full Franco-Gernan COL
laboration.
Creation of this committee was
regarded as the reply of Pierre
Laval and his followers to circles
in Vichy which oppose French
collaboration. Laval himself has
come out in favor of Cooperation
with the new order in Europe"
Meanwhile. it was emphasized,
Germany is observing the terms
of the Franco-German armistice.
Earlier. il was reported that
German authorities in Paris re-
jected Petain's offer TO renew
Franco-German collaboration ne
gotiations. They turned down a
personal effort by French naval
minister. Admiral Darlan, to re-
sumo talks.

SQUIRE OPPOSES
CORONER SYSTEM
Adjustment of Set-Up Advo'
Gated by Doctor in Talk
AT Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, Jan. 28.-RH
Adjustment of the coroner system
was advocated in an address be-
fore the Charlotte Rotary club to-
day by DR.. Amos o. Squire OF
Ossining, N. Y, who served ID
years as chief physician to Sing
Sing prison and for the last 10
years has been chief medical ex-
aminer of Westchester county in
which the famous prison is stu
ated.
He served as coroner before the
office was replaced in his county
by that which he has held since
1925. For more than 80 years he
has been a student of crime and
criminals" which was the subject
of his address, and he said he had
been in close contact with at least
Is, 900 prisoners, of all grades.
He declared the time-honored
system of coroners and coroners'
juries is "antiquated, expensive
and insufficient" and that before
its adjustment in some New York
counties it was a disgrace"
Adjustment of the system was
only one of a long list of measures
he suggested to reduce crime and
deal effectively with criminals. 5

Simple Justice

Although the legislature completed its action
on a bill to raise the salaries of four consti-
tutional officers of the state on the first day
of the session, as it had to do or let the
matter wait again, the action is still being
discussed in the press and not without acri-
mony. The officers affected are the state
treasurer, state auditor, secretary of state and
superintendent of public instruction. The in
crease is from $ 5000 to $4,000 a year.
On the whole, it would appear that the
legislature has merely acted in justice to
these constitutional officers with the intent to
place them on the same level as appointive
officers, whose remuneration had outstripped
theirs. If there seemed undue haste on the
part OF the general assembly, in taking this
action on the first day of the session, it is
explained that only by this means could the
Increase take effect now, instead of being de-
layed four years.
Back in 1875 81 conference of legislators and
officers was held at which it was decided to
make a move for salary adjustment, and a bill
was introduced in the legislature fixing the
salaries of appointive and constitutional Of
ficers at the same figure, to 60 into effect in
1897. The 1887 legislature increased all salaries
10 per cent, but the constitutional officers
could not receive the increase, and there the
matter rested until Governor Hoey recon-
mended that the 1941 legislature take action
upon its convening, before Inauguration of the
new administration. In compliance with this
Recommendation the general assembly was
prompt to act.

Act Now

One of the disturbing problems for COM
munities near new defense projects and mill
tary bases is the increase in traffic accidents.
The large increases in population incident
to these new activities has caught cities off
guard as far as additional police protection
is concerned, with the result that careless and
daring drivers have imperiled many lives ane
caused an ever increasing number of acct
dents.
1t is important that Wilmington take notice
Of this situation and act for it's correction be-
fore Camp Davis and the new shipyards bring
in additional thousands of residents.
Wilmington will need a much larger police
force in a short time, if it is to escape the
accident increase experienced by other cities
similarly situated in the defense program. 1t
would be unwise to wait until a serious emer-
sency arrives, when it can be so clearly fore
yssn. Now is the time to act.
BY employing additional policemen now, es-
peciaIy for traffic duty, there will be time to
ksin them adequately and have them ready
when their service is in greatest demand.
