OPPOSED BY DISNEY

Disney estimated that the pro-
iected pay increases, which apply
also to some OF the other lower
ranks in both-t the army and navy.
would cost the government an
additional one billion dollars a
year when the army is brought
to full strength.
On the basis of the present
strength of the army and navy, II
was estimated that the pay in
creaSes will cost the government
about S500000,000 annually.
Also revised upward was the
pay of army and navy nurses
and the monthly pay Of second
lieutenantS and ensignS was in
creased from S125 10 $3.50, Rental
and other allowances for offices
in the four lowest grades are

Blanketed into the pay increase
by the bill are enlisted men anc

DRINKING AND DRIVING
Palo Alto Tinles)

(Palo Alto TlmeS)
Recognizing through the disclosures
Of reliable statistics. that the drinking
driver evil is fast becoming the worst
menace of the highways, the American
Business Mems Research Foundation is
urging a moratorium on drunken driving
throughout this year.
If such moratorium ever comes about,
it will be because of an appeal other than
one addressed exclusively to the drinking
drivers. The preSSures, the vigilance,
the regulations necessary to bring that
about will need to be supplied from with
out.
If there is to be complete morator
ium on drunken driving there first would
have to be a complete stoppage of either
drinking or driving, since, as long as the
two practices are on parallel of time,
they will become mutually involved.
We do not look for a complete stop
page of either. however. But a far stride
toward reducing the drunken driver men
ace will have been taken whenever road
side liquor selling is forbidden. The
law is operating not TO unity of purpose
when. although making a crime of drunk
en- driving. it legalizes the selling of Ii
uuor on roadsides. Who, but occupants
of cars, are expected to patronize high
ways that substantial number of those
drinking motorists will be the drivers
themselves?
