nifty plan designed to aid small Illi-
nois manufacturers in obtaining de-
fense business was announced by

Police 10 Force Drivers
To Obey Platform Siqns

Police are beginning today their
first sweeping campaign to make
motorists obey arrows on streetcar
platforms, according to warning is
sued by Inspector Arthur E. Miller,
head of the traffic division.
Where arrows so designate, driv-
ers must keep to the right Of load
ing platforms or be arrested, he said.
A list of lot such platforms was
designated by the District Commits
sioners on March II. but inspector
Miller said strict enforcement has
been delayed until the Public Util-
tiles Commission could erect direc-
tional signs at all of them.
A strong protest against most Of
the "drive to right" zones was issued
recently by the Keystone Automo-
bile Club. A survey showed that less
than a score designeted by the
Commissioners were justified, the
club said
The Commissioners regulation
crystallized a situation in which
there was some question whether
authorities had power to enforce the
arrows.
Motorists may still drive on either
side of raised platforms marked
with a diamond device, or of un-
marked safety zones.
