II don't care what you intend to

shut your mouth up and get out.
You're so self-opinionated and so
self-important."
Taft then picked up his brief case
and started cut of the room, shout
ing that he would not attend any
more meetings.
That's your general conduct, {"
Murray told him, "and you won't
gain anything before the country
by it. If you come in here and act
like a statesman, all right. But
you can't do that. No, you can't do
that"

ed down on Pacific shores from
Hawaii to the Aleutians and as
far south as Chile took the lives OF
possibly 1877 persons, late reports
showed Tuesday night, and lett
property damage running into the
millions.
Hawaii suffered the greatest
casualties. The lates; compilation
placed the dead at 83, the missing
at a minimum of 70. Ten were
presumed lost in the Aleutians and
one in California. The island OF
Hawaii, with its chief city of Hilo
was hardest hit, reporting 81 dead
and So missing.
Hilo, a city of $4,000 population
on the exposed northeast coast,
was battered and its streets piled
high with water-swept debris.
Navy officials had expressed
fears that as many as 300 persons
might have lost their lives in Hilo,
but many of those first reported
missing had turned up safe.
There still was no report of the
fate of 10 men carried away when

A 30-foot wave was reported to
have lashed at the historic Robin

Fernandez, 600 miles off Valpa-
raise. Residents fled to the hills.
Current Runs Swiftly
Currents still ran so swift off
Santa Cruz, California, where the
California victim was swept to
sea, that fishing boats dragged
anchor. Ocean currents here were
estimated at 80 knots.
The seas had subsidized, how
ever, around the Hawaiian islands
and the task of rescue and relief
for the victims of HaWaii's worst
disaster was moving ahead swift
ly.
Navy reports reaching Washing
ton, D. c., stated there had been
no loss of life among Naval per-

The ships assembled at Pearl
Harbor for the atom bomb tests
at Bikini atoll escaped damage,
as did equipment already installed

BARNEY SPEAKS, GIVES
SAFETY DEMONSTRATION
FOR DRIVING OF CARS

The interval varies with different
people between the time they sec
a situation requiring action ard
the time they start doing some
thing about it, but with all people
there is an interval between see
ing, comprehending and acting. In
this period many highway accidents
occur, particularly if the vehicle is
travelling at a high rate of speed,
for the faster the car or truck
is moving the greater the distance
covered while the driver goes
through the mental process of COM
pretending and deciding what to do.
This was a major point brought
out when Dan Barney of Billings,
secretary of the Montana Trucking
association, addressed the Laurel
Rotary club Tuesday on highway
safety. Later he conducted tests,
with Rotarians as subjects. Stress
ed also was the necessity for con
slant alertness while driving. A
highway is not a fit place for day
dreaming.
The tests employed an ingenious
device to show the time lapse and
the distance covered. By agree
with the driver an explosion
would be the signal for stopping
the car as quickly as possible.
Barney engaged the driver in on
versation and when the car was
moving at a fair rate he pulled
a string that caused a blankcart-
ridge to explode and shoot a dab
Of paint onto the roadway. When
the driver comprehended and ap-
piled the brakes another cartridge
a dab of paint. The distance
the car stopped from the last paint
mark was measured, as we'll rs
he distance between the first and
second marks.
The distance varied as they al
ways do, depending on the driver
