Police Chief Rosso
Appeals to Public

Police Chief Arthur I. Rosso
today announced that a special
enforcement campaign will be
in effect over the Fourth of July
holiday season. The campaign,
he said, is in cooperation with a
nationwide drive being conduct
ed by the National Safety Coun-
Gil to reduce the staggering hol-
iday death toll which occurs an
nually at this time.
The Police Department is
asking every citizen to enlist in
this campaign to save lives and
property over this holiday sea-
son. he said.
This is no time for anyone
to be wasting lives, property
and time through needless acct
dents. Yet, the traffic accident
death toll is up Is per cent for
the first four months of the
year. A little common sense,
courtesy and care in driving
will halt this mounting toll"
Chief Rosso pointed out that
many war workers would be 60
ing to and from work despite
the holiday period. He predicted
that, gas or no gas, the holiday
traffic will be heavy.
Zone of the best ways to help
our boys Of Mount Clemens who
are out there fighting for us is
to stop accidents that waste
manpoWer here on the home
front. Those boys must have ev-
cry bit of material they need
for the invasion. Our job Is TO
give it to them. Accidents slow
our efforts"
Chief Rosso emphasized that
violators of wartime traffic
driving restrictions not only are
flirting with death, but expos
ing irreplaceable cars to des-
truction.

That's why Sundays residen-

it is our patriotic duty to pro-

From the day a soldier goes
to war, he is dependent on
paper. From his draft card

his records are kept on it.
His records are packed in

His barracks are built with
paper wallbOard, paper roof

He shoots at paper targets,
eats from paper plates, drinks
from paper cups.
His battles are planned, his
orders are issued, on paper.
Literally he lives, trains,

And, of course, his "hOnOr-

One Postwar Reform

The Department of Vehicles and
Traffic is asking for more money to
install more traffic lights-lights on
both sides OF the street at certain
locations where the authorities
seem to feel they are needed.
They may be needed, and it may
cut down accidents If drivers and
pedestrians have more lights to
guide them. But the end of the war
will bring, one hopes, the major re-
form needed in Washington's traf-
fic light system-a system adjusted
by time cycles to the ebb and flow
Of rush hour traffic, permitting
longer intervals when heavy traffic
is moving in the same direction and
designed to speed vehicular traffic
out Of the congested area instead of
slowing it down.
Gasoline rationed automobile
drivers will remember, long after
the war is over, the amount of
precious fuel they wasted by con-
tinued and unnecessary stops for
lights. The only remedy is new
equipment, now unavailable, per-
hitting central control OF timing
cycles to meet the changing de-
mands of traf1ic throughout the day.

putting this pattern to work will
be far from easy. The enemy is
fanatical and resourceful and the
bulk of his land power still remains

our own excepted-frst attempts at de-
mocracy failed.
The tragedy Of Germany always has
been that the democratic and national
movements were in contradiction. No
analogy can be made between the present
situation of Germany and that of Po-
land and France. The Poles and the
French are resisting NaIism not even
primarily because they want democracy,
but because the national existence is at
stake
And this is the point: The German
lover Of freedom faces dilemma which
our policy has aggravated. Assuming
that he wants the overthrow of Hitler,
and peace, recognizing also that what
Hitlerian Germany had done to Europe
and the world cannot 60 unpaid for, he
also must take upon himself possible
responsibility for the destruction of the
German nation as SUCH
Now, / claim that no freedom loving
citizen OF any country would take that
responsibility. Were this country-God
forbid-Nazi, am sure that Mr.. Lipp-
mann and myself would conspire against
the Government and would do what we
could to sabotage an aggressive foreign
war, but I am also sure that neither
Mr.. Lippmann nor myself would con-
spire to hand 1t over to however right
eously indignant victors who would. saw,
give California to China and New Eng
land to the British.
In history there is but one example
significantly enough of a peoples
leader, who made a revolution in dis
regard of basic national interests. Lenin
was willing to give away large part
OF Russia for peace, as the result of
defeat, because he had the concept that
Communism, being superior idea, and
above nationalism, would sweep the
world and lead to totally different or
ganization of the nations of mankind.
Now, it is these considerations and
many others impossible of DEVELOPMENT
in one column. which have convinced
me that our policy Is not only failing to
evoke" a resistance movement in Ger
many, but has been stransling the one
that unquestionably exists. OF that !

Victory at Brest

After more than six weeks of
siege, Brest, together with a total
prisoner bag of at least $4,000 Ger
man troops, has at last fallen to our
American forces. Hitler thus loses
what was once his most important
U-boat base and we gain one of the
finest of Europe's harbors-the
French port closest to the United
States, the great historic gateway
through which passed the bulk of
the AEF in the First World War.
The evidence is very strong that
the stubborn and fierce defense of
this important place was specifically
ordered by Hitler for two reasons:
First, because he hoped that by
denying US its facilities as long as
possible he would be able to dis
rupt the Allied timetable for land
ing supplies and reinforcements, and
second, because he calculated that
after our Normandy break through
we would invest large forces in a
battle for Brest and be diverted
from sweeping advance through
France. thus giving him time to re-
gain balance.
In both hope and calculation,
however, the Fuehrer was wrong.
Within % days after D-day on June
6, in what may be described as a
planned miracle, something like L.
10000 British-American troops were
already in Normandy, having land
ed there without benefit of a single
port, all harbors and breakwaters
being improvised directly on the
beaches. Then, after the break
through, instead of doing what Hit
Ter had expected. our Allied COM
mand decided to keep the invasion

WORKING in the Dark

In framing their budget of rec
commended appropriations, to be
available next July, the Commits
sioners must be working pretty
much in the dark.
There are so many things that
can happen between now, when the
estimates are being made up, and
next July when the money will have
been appropriated, that the most
careful budgeting can become bad
guess. The end of the war in
Europe should relieve shortages of
nanpower and materials, which
have so greatly affected expendi-
lures in recent years. But when will
the war end, and how much relief
will it bring?
Last years appropriations con-
tanned nearly 100000 for overtime
payments, necessary because of I'M
filled payroll vacancies. But the
law requiring overtime payments
expires next July. Will it be ex-
tended or will the end of the war
also end the necessity for overtime?
Last years appropriations contained
some s5,000,00 for investment, ear
marked for postwar construction.
Will the end of the war make avail
able the materials to begin the post
war construction already approved?
Ire President has directed studies
by the Budget Bureau of demobiliza-
ton of the Federal Governments
war agencies. Will such demobiliza-
ton begin in time to affect the
municipalities needs, releasing for
District government occupancy
quarters now under rental to Fed
6ral establishments?
AS always, the amount of local
revenue required to finance Capital
City needs is contingent in some de-
gree on the size of the Federal pay
ment. A study is now underway by
the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee to fix an equitable amount as
the Federal payment. Will the study
be completed In time to affect the
appropriations for which the Com
missioners are now estimating? The
end of the war should bring a sub
stantial increase in appropriations,
for it should be possible to begin the
Districts delayed program of con-
struction, to expand municipal serv-
ices which have been necessarily
curtailed, But those things cannot
be set down as estimates until the
war is over. Any one with crystal
globe will find a warm reception at
the District Building.
