Careful Driving Is Urged AS
Holiday Season Approaches

AS the holiday season ap-
proaches, the highway safety
department sends out a special
request for motorists to drive
with special care, since the haz-
ards are even greater than they
were last year.
"This year the slaughter will
not be as heavy, but never has
the danger been greater and the
need for precaution more urgent, "
said Ronald Hocutt, Highway
Safety Director today in bringing
to the attention of the public the
lurking dangers hidden in traffic
during the Christmas season.
"Dim-outs, dangerously worn
tires, effect of war hysteria on
drivers and holiday traffic con-
gestion are heavy contributing
factors to the traffic powder keg,"
said Mr.. Hocutt.
The Safety Director reiterated
previous plans for the conserva-
ton of man poW@r and material
resources through the prevention
of death and destruction on the
highway. Never was the oppor-
tunity for public safety education
more urgent and necessary" said
Mr.. Hocutt. "Conservation of hui
man resources means not only the
saving of adult lives, but those
also of children, from the tots in
the primary grades, to the young
manhood and womanhood in the
high schools.
"This opportunity to saves lives
through education is given weight
by the fact that during 1941 and
this year to date approximately
1870, or little more than one in
three of all the drivers involved
in fatal accidents in the state
have been in the age group "a
years and under" said Mr.. Ho-
cult. "This group of young keen
minds who are unfortunately con-
tributing so many fatal accidents
to the motor vehicle death rate
can be readily reached through
the classrooms and colleges of the
state.
with war swirling around the
heads of the nations population,
saving of life on the highways is
no longer a job that can be at
tended to tomorrow. Lives IN
necessarily snuffed out today
cannot be replaced. Every crash
on the highway now is direct
stab at the resources, human and
material, of nation bendin g
every effort to defeat a common
foe.

NEWARK, N. j., July 1.-THE
Federal Bureau of investigation
disclosed today it had charged three
labor union officials with violation Of
Federal statutes in what 1t termed
a collection racket disguised as a
benefit for the Navy Relief Society.
E E. Conroy. assistant director OF
the FBI, identified the three as
Edward A. Cornez of Laurelton,

Spanish Dancer
Draws Throng
To w ater Gate
Argentinifa's Aides,
Conductor Share
Plaudifs With Her
Nv ALICE EyERSMAN.

The fame of Argentinita, Spanish
dancer, drew large audience to
the Water Gate last evening in
spite of the fact that the concert
by the National Symphony came
on an off night due to the rain of
Friday. The latter part of the
program was almost exclusively for
Argentinita and the two dancers
of her group, Pillar Lopez and Fred
rico Rey. Their success, which was
more than ordinary. was enhanced
by the expert conducting of Francis
Garzia. who from his long residence
in Argentina, has the sense of the
rhythms of Spanish dances to a
high degree.
The exquisite grace of the three
dancers and the complete harmony
of all bodily movements were cli-
NAKED in those of Argentinita her
self. Her remarkable and intricate
footWork was matched by lightness
Of posture and expressive use OF her
hands which nilnbly played the
castanets while completing the fig
ures of the dance Not the least
important of the dancers perform
ance was the expert accentuation of
the r1gthm by the castanets, par
ticularly in ensembles.
Argentinita was seen In three solo
numbers, the Seville" from ALI
beniz' Suite Espagnole";; the "Jota
de Alcaniz," by Font, and the Ma
zurka," from Bretons La Verbena
de la Paloma." Pillar Lopez and
Federico Rey danced the "Segui-
dillas," by Albeniz. and the three
dancers were seen together in Ma
varro's "Castilian Dance" which
had to be repeated, and in Ravel's
"Bolero" The gay costumes, some
times elegant and sometimes those
of the people, added to the color
fulness of one of the most attrac-
tive programs of the sunset series.
Mr.. Garzia gave an exceptionally
clear-cut delivery of the orchestral
numbers, scoring a special success
with his Interpretation OF Bee
thoven's seventh symphony. He
| directed with an aim for dramatic
effect and at the same time with
careful regard for musical color.
The program opened with the
overture to Thomas "Mignon," fol-
lowed by Corelli's "Sarabanda, Giga
e Badinerie," in which the conduc-
tor achieved marked contrasts. In
terspersed between the dance num-
bers were works of Spanish char
acter, including the prelude to act
and "Aragonaise,' from Bizet's
Carmen; Lecuonas "Malaguena
and Albinez's "Cordoba."
The same artists will appear this
evening with an entirely new pro-
gram.

said, and It Is unfair TO them and
to, their families to deny them the
protection which the law places
around other officers engaged in the

Local courts have ruled, Major
Kelly pointed out, that as the vol

ing substantially the same duties as
members of the regular force, they
come within the statutory exemp-
ton applicable to other policemen
in the matter OF carrying weapons.

less liable to personal assaults or

standing example of the desire OF
our people to cooperate in any
necessary program. He lauded the

fore the people from day to day

Shortage Of Tubes
Threatens 10 Close
$40 Radio Stations
Stocks Running Out
AS Manufacture Is
Halted by War
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.


More than $40 of 906 radio broad
cast stations will be forced off the
air within another year. Federal
Communications Commission Off
cials estimated yesterday unless steps
are taken promptly to provide re-
placement tubes for transmitters.
With a view to presenting the
problem to the War Production
Board. the Board of War Commun-
ications yesterday sent to the sta
tions QUESTIONABLE on tubes.
Earlier in the defense program
when the supply of strategic ma
terials became tight, plans were
formulated to guard against such
a situation by working out tenta-
tive plan of pooling tubes.
Plan Failed to Work.
But the plan proved increasingly
Ineffective because stations with
spares did not desire to give them
up to some station whose tubes had
failed, particularly since the manu-
facture of tubes for commercial
broadcasting was halted.
All the transmitting tube manu-
facturers now are said to be en-
gagged in the manufacture of such
equipment for the Army and Navy.
This. however, 1t was said, has not
closed the commercial broadcasters
absolutely, because they are able to
get tubes rejected by the Army and
Navy because they do not meet the
rigid specifications of the services.
But, officials pointed out, even this
will not take care of the situation
as more and more tubes end their
period of usefulness.
These large tubes, ranging in
price from 81 900 to 5000 apiece,
normally are guaranteed for 1000
hours of use. but it was said that
actually they serve from 5000 to
5000 hours, and in some cases as
long as 10000 hours.
May Be Nursed Along.
But many Of the present tubes in
use, 1t was said, may be made by
careful nursing" to last longer
under war conditions.
To remedy the situation, the WPB
may be asked to provide for period
of manufacture. The materials sit
uation is not as serious as the manu-
featuring. Each of the tubes, ac-
cording to engineers, uses no more
than a pound of copper and a small
quantity of tungsten.
Stations expected to be hit hardest
are the smaller ones, because their
financial condition has not per-
mitted them to keep spare tubes in
quantity.
