Highway Speeds
New York Times

New York Times
What will be the effect, when the is over, of
the removal of the present nation wide thirty-five-
an hour top speed limitation the highways? Some
interesting answers to that question have been re-
ported to the Michigan state Highway Conference
by Harold F. Hammond, director of the traffic and
transportation division of the National Conservation
Bureau, The consensus of the highway authorities
questioned by Mr. Hammond holds that sixty miles
hour would be the most efficient top speed Tor rural
driving However. this presupposes good highways,
with headon and intersectonal collisions eliminated
by broadly extended of medal strips and grade
separations. Such protection for the notorist is
limited only by the amount that can be expended on
highways The car itself can be made nearly mechani-
caly perfect Indeed, accidents attributable to car
failure, even with many the road eight
eliminated is the difference in driver decisions which
are responsible for rearend and sdeswping collisions
Urban speed, in the opinion of Mr.. Hammond
and others who support him. had already reached its
safe COR more than safe) peak before Pearl Harbor
1t is broadly held that thirty miles hour is the
most efficient and safe top speed for urban traffic
Often however this will be too fast for conditions
just sixty miles even on super highway may be
fast for rural driving The whole of safety
for driver and pedestrian alike, will be served if We
take to heart the enforced lessons of the period
One of the most striking of these lessons is the
very small saving in time which is effected by increase
in speed Most automobile trips of less than
twenty miles Over this distance increase in speed
from ffty-five to sixty miles hour only l.8
minutes. Mr.. Hammond points to another aspect of
speed-namely it's cost. On "trip of 1000 miles four
hours would be saved by increasing speed from forty
five to fifyfive miles hour but at extra cost
of s188 an hour An additional 28 hours could be
saved by increasing the speed to sixty miles hour
but at a cost of SAL an hour

A REMARKABLE RECORD

The tremendous capabilities of the American in
dustrial machine tend to minimize all production
figures but truly remarkable nevertheless is the
announcement of Britans Production Minister, Oliver
w Lytteton that England has produced 10000 planes
and $4,000 tanks armored and carriers from the
beginning of the through last year
Those figures go far toward explaining how Great
Britain managed to remain in the in the face Of
such great odds. With much smaller labor force
and industrial plant than Germany. Britain managed
to produce enough war equipment to hold the enemy
at bay during the most critical period of the conflict.
The Raj was kept in planes, and the home guard
and desert forces were supplied with armored equip
rnent under conditions which beggar description.
Those 10000 planes built in scattered plants

BRITISH-AMERICAN
DIFFERENCES

Having taken these secrecy pre-
cautions, General Marshall natur-
ally was highly surprised when he
read in the newspapers few days
later that the British had an
nounced to the press that Lord
Mountbatten was TO command in
Burma. Subsequently, there was
frank showdown between General
Marshall and General Sir Alan
Brooke, British Chief OF Staff, re-
garding statements to the press
Showdowns of this kind are only
natural when men with strong
minds are in command of Allied OPP
erations They should not be in
terpreted as meaning disunity
among the Allies, The incident is
mentioned here only to illustrate
the differences which have existed
over Burma These differences are
now reported to have led to the
present Allied stalemate and the Jap
offensive
Most important conclusion draWn
from the above situation is that u.
s. Army Navy forces are now de-
termined to plug ahead on their
own in the Central and North Pa
cific. The recent attacks on the
Kurile Islands north Of Japan are
most significant. In the opinion Of
this columnist, they will be follow
ed up by more drives in the North
Pacific-the straight, direct route
to Japan
In other words, the U. S. A. is not
necessarily going to wait for victory
in Europe. Cut is going ahead on its
own to close in on Japan-with or
without Allied assistance.
NOTE = One trouble with the
Burma front is that General Still
wen favors ground operation
General Chennault fayors an air
operation, and Admiral Lord Mount
batten favors a naval operation.

DUTCH oUININE MONOPOLY

Congratulations to Leo Crowley's
Foreign Economic Administrator
on buying as much quinine in Latin
America in the past couple of weeks
as during the previous nineteen
months. This is significant in view
OF recent Merry Go-Round expo
sures concerning Dutch interest in
Latin American quinine.
However, here is something else
worth checking. Look into Dutch
man now working for FEA who
used to work for the Dutch Kina
Bureau in purchasing quinine in
Bolivia. He may be all right, but
some people suspect he is trying to
serve two masters-not only the u
S. A. but also the interests OF the
Dutch quinine cartel which wants
to get back its old monopoly after
the war
