IN TWO GROUPS

II the motoriSt looks closely he
will see that there are two little
groups of them, very carefully ar
ranged and intended TO channel
ize" traffic, or. in other words, to
keep it in line. They also offer a
haven of refuge for the harrasSed
pedestrian as he lodges across the
street.
"a lot of elderly persons cross
that corner and guess the
engineering department believes
they can't move as fast as the
younger folks said JuergenS.
"It's kind of nice to have a good
steel post between you and the
nearest car"
The posts, however. are only
temporary. Mickle explains, and
will be replaced by concrete islands
as soon as the store at the corner
of Monroe and Randolph avenues
is torn down and the street is
widened there.
In addition, the pedestrian is
going to be guided by chains placed
along the edge of the sidewalk.
These chains will force him to go
TO the proper corner to make his
crossing.
Guiding the motorists will be a
network of yellow lines, which will
be painted on the street as soon
as the weather permits. Then all
the driver will have to do is focus
his attention on one, two or three
of the IS lights which guide traffic
across the square.
Pick your light and stick by II
and Mickle promises you will be
all right.
But remember. the entire light
system has been timed to the
second and woe be unto the motor
list who stalls his car and throws
the whole thing off.

YEARS OF PLANNING

For years Detroit traffic experts
have been planning the elimination
of the Gratiot avenue bottle
neck" formed by the narrowing
of Gratiot as it entered the square.
Now the street has been
widened. A week ago ii was opened
for traffic and the intervening days
have provided opportunity for
scores of motorists, 10 take pen in
hand and declare that all is con-
fusion.
To all of them, d. Grant Mickle,
city traffic engineer, addresses a
plea for patience. Police traffic
director Fred Juergens merely
suggests that they go some other
way. 1t seems that Juergens
directed horse and buggy traffic
on that corner some 80 years ago
and he is about convinced by now
that little can be done about it.

posts which confront you as you

all. as some indignant motorists

By HUGH DAILY

A straight line is the shortest
distance between two points. but
neither pedestrian nor motorist
should attempt TO follow this
route when vending his way
through Pingree Square-which Is
ANYTHING but a square.
Should any one be so unwiSe as
TO follow his nose in Pingree
Square. he is almost sure TO run
smack into the middle of q maze
of yellow poles known as safety
islands" Should ne escape this,
he'll probably be going against one
or more of the is us. count 'em)
signal lights which regulate traffic
at this point. as it has never been
regulated before.
Named after Detroit's famous
mayor of the gay nineties, who.
ironically enough, advocated good
roads and wide thoroughfares,
Pingree Square is that acre in
downtown Detroit where Gratiot
avenue meets Broadway, Macomb
and Randolph avenues.

record that has been made on ma
tional defense and foreign policy.
Mr.. Willkie has already made 1t
known that he intends to support
those Republicans seeking election
in Congress next year who have
favored a strong foreign policy and
strong national defense. He has no
intention of seeking to purge" Re-
publican members of Congress who
have opposed the foreign policy of
the administration. But he intends
to do all he can to remove the
isolationist label from the party.
The current issue of the National
Republican, official publication of
the National Federation of Repub-
lican Clubs, in a leading article in
dicates clearly that the Republicans
are smarting under charges that
they are playing politics on the for
eign issue.
It says: IF ever political party
required a restatement OF its posi-
ton, the Republican party does
today. 1t has become the fashion
to brand every Republican as a re-
dictionary and an isolationist.
No one is seeking to play politics
with the defense of America. There
Is a difference of opinion on the
extent to which We shall participate
in European affairs. What is
our position on foreign affairs?
First. We insist upon the strongest
possible defense for our country.
We are not satisfied with the speed

favor aid to those nations which are
at war with the Axis powers. We

The record the Republicans have
made in Congress, however. when

national defense and foreign policy
is responsible for the attacks which
have been made, as. for example,
when great majority of Repub-

Morqenthuu Advises Public to Start Saving;
Income Tax Bi||sWi|I Be Stiff Next Spring
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau, saying that the public did
not yet realize how stiff Federal
income taxes are going to be next
year, urged every one yesterday to
start saving Immediately for the bllls
he is going to send them.
1.-THE job has to be done to get IT
over to the people what their taxes
are" the Treasury head declared.
II don't think they have any con-
ception."
AS a step toward that end, he an
nounced that he was arranging 10
distribute-chiefly through banks
millions Of pamphlets showing the
approximate tax on any one with
an annual income from $75o 10
$25 1000.
Banks have been asked to mall
copies of the pamphlets in their
Nov. / statements to depositors, ana
Treasury Offices will mail additional
copies with quarterly notices on this
years taxes.
The pamphlet includes tables
showing that income taxes on single
persons range from So for a man
who earned $500 this year to $7224
for one who earned $4,000. Other
tables show the approximate tax
for each income class among mar
ried persons with no dependents,
and couples with one, two or three
children.
Opposite each tax figure is an
estimate of how much should be
saved monthly to meet the bill. and
in this connection Mr.. Morgenthau
reminded the public that con-
venient way Of laying tax money
aside is to buy Treasury notes-a
special Government security which
can be used instead Of cash to pay
income taxes.
The 1912 income taX-based on
earnings in l94l-will be payable
in four equal installments due on
March IS. June Is, September IS and
December Is.
There are two reasons why it will
be sitter than ever before. One
is that personal exemptions have
been cut from $500 to $3.50 Cor
single persons and from $4,000 TO
81 500 for heads of families. The
other is that, while the normal
tax rate of per cent has been left
unchanged, the "surtax" rates have
been boosted to range of 6 to IS
per cent. Most persons of small
income will thus pay about 10 pei
cent on the taxable portion of their
! income.

The new Office of Facts and Fig

nshed by President Roosevelt yester-
day.
The new agency, TO be operated

not reveal military secrets to gov

Set-up Explained.
1t was emphasized that the agency
is not comparable to the Govern
ment information service of the first
World War, which administered a
measure of censorship, and that it
will not disturb present govern
mental publicity units or their rela-
tionship with the press and radio.
One of the purposes, it was eX-
planned. is to relieve the pressure of
great volume of individual in
quiries, particularly on various
phases of the defense program, which
are constantly directed at the White
House
In accepting the task of directing
the agency, Mr.. MacLeish said IN a
formal statement that it was estab-
lished upon the assumption that
the people of self-governing coun-
try are entitled to the fullest pos
sible statement of the facts and the
figures bearing upon conditions with
which their government is faced.
The essential difference between a
democracy is based upon a complete
trust in the people and democratic

Republicans on foreign policy: 1t
merely restates the attitude OF Re-
publican isolationists in and out Of
Congress.
1t continues: I'VE are ready to do
everything we can to see that those
nations which need our assistance
get it and get it promptly. Blu. We
are not willing to be thrust into a
war with the people of our country
facing a huge problem of industrial
unemployment. This is the Re-
publican position today We recog-
nize the importance of foreign prob
lens. In our concern for Europe,
we must still remember that the
people Of America must not and will
not be sacrificed"
The Republicans in Congress are
to have still another opportunity
within a short time of voting on a
measure which is designed to help
get aid TO those nations opposing
the Axis powers-the bill permit
ting the arming Of American mer-
chant vessels, already passed by the
House. and yesterday amended by
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee so as to permit the sending
of these vessels into belllgerent
ports, if necessary. A large majority
of the House Republicans voted
against arming the merchant ships.
Coming Elections.
The 1912 elections are a year
off. The elections a week from
Tuesday are few and far between,
but some significance will attach
to them, as in the case of the effort
to re-elect Mayor La Guardia-with
Republican nomination-for a
third term. Mr.. La Guardia is an
out-and-out supporter Of going the
limit to bring about the defeat Of
Hitler.
There is only one Of the five
vacancies in the House to be filled
on November 4, that in the 18th
Pennsylvania district. This district,
which was represented by the
late Representative Rutherford, is
strongly Republican. Wilson D.
Gillett has been nominated by the
Republicans.
On December a special election
will be held in the 4th Colorado
district, represented for many years
by the late Representative Taylor
