Here are four Of the replies:
Dewey Loveless, bus driver, 5614
North Eighth street, Arlington, Va:
Il slow down to a reasonable rate
Of speed and stay on my side of
the road. If I have a heavy load,
/ drive very slowly to prevent the

A bus driver for IA years, Mr.
Loveless holds safety award from

He said his caution on curves
proved valuable on at least one
occasion. A tire blew out as he

Are You An Expert Driver?

his own slow speed prevented an a.
ciient.
Ellis Goodman. sporting goods
salesman. 80 Kennedy street NE,
said:
Watch both sides of the street,
Keep Your arm out. Stay in your
own lane of trafilc. Don't PISS
other cars, and travel slowly"
Mr.. Goodman commented that he
had been doing this for 20 years
and had had no trouble on curves.
Phil Rosenshine, clerk in SPORT
ing goods store, 80 Kennedy street
NE, remarked:
Some people drive too fast on
curves. One should look to either
side and behind, put out the arm,
watch speed and stay in the right
lane of traffic"
The Education and Public Infor-
nation Committee of the advisory
board recommends:
l. Keep to right.
2. Be sure you are using low head
light beam, if driving at night. High
beam is prohibited in District and
is particularly dangerous on curves.
3. Apply brakes before entering
curve. If you come upon curve un-
expectedly. "snubbing" brakes by
several successive applications is
safer than "slamming them on" by
one firm use of the pedal.
4. Be alert, ready to act promptly
If another motorist, not yet visible
on other side of curve, fails to OBJ
serve the rules.
5. Excessive speed will cause car
to sway. If this occurs, accelerate
carefully after passing midpoint of
curve.

Coal Strike Is Viewed
AS Threat 10 Tax Cut


A leading Republican said today
the coal strike "gravely threatens
COP plans to slash individual in
come taxes by 20 per cent.
Representative Carlson, Repub-
lican, of Kansas, House leader on
tax legislation who becomes Gov
ernor of Kansas in January, told
reporters that unless stability were
established between labor and man
agement, tax reductions will go by
the board"
Everybody must realize" he said,
that tax reduction depends on a
high level of national income.
Continued strife and work STOP
pages would reduce the national in
come. There Is a possibility of q
general strike. The thing could get
so serious it would close up every
thing. Labor might suffer by strikes
called by its own leaders"
Mr.. Carlson, member Of the
House Ways and Means Committee
and author of the pay-as-you-go
tax plan, voiced the opinion that If
employment is stabilized the Fed
eral budget can be balanced next
year, some payment made on the
national debt and taxes reduced.

In granting defense motions to
dismiss the indictments and pre-
vent q retrial Of the conspiracy case
against rs defendants. Justice Laws
said:
Under the circumstances, to per-
NIT another trial, which conceiyably
would last more than q year. with
new prosecutors and newly APP
pointed counsel for defendants, with
the eventual outcome in serious
doubt would be a travesty on

The Government has the right

pointed out in his memorandum
opinion. But Assistant Attorney
General Theron Lamar Caudle, rep
reSenting the Justice Department
made no statement in court and
afterward told newsmen the uues-
ton would be decided later.
Justice Laws pointed out in his
opinion that the chief prosecutor
In the case, o. John Royce, q special
assistant to the Attorney General,
who was fired by Attorney General
Clark recently. had stated In open
court on three occasions that he
doubted the Supreme Court would
uphold q conviction.
The Is defendants were placed on

After. trial lasting eight months.
with the Governments evidence not
yet completed, the presiding Judge,
Chief Justice Edward G. Eicher,

while Assistant Attorney General
Caudle had announced yesterday
the Government was ready to retry
the case and had offered to submit
to the court the confidential report
which Mr.. Rogge made after an
investigation in Germany, the court
could not receive that over the OBJ
lection Of defense attorneys.
Justice Laws explained that the
conference Of senior Federal Circuit
judges had adopted q policy of re-
fusing to admit pretrial documents
unless they also were submitted to
the defense, which the Government
had refused to do in the case of Mr..
Rogges statement.
II can reach no other conclusion. -
said the Chief Justice, than that
