Keneipp Sees Soap Box Derby
Teaching Principles of Safety

Boys taking part in the Wash
lington Soap Box Derby learn prin-
ciples of safe driving which will be
Iof value when they become motor
vehicle operators, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp said in Derby
radio program yesterday over Sta
tion WMAL.
Mr.. Keneipp pointed out that
rules of the coaster-car competition
demand construction of reliable
steering and braking systems in
every racer. These mechanical fea-
lures are regarded as among the
most important subjected to check
ing in the District motor vehicle in
spections, he added.
The traffic director also recalled
that Derby racers had been clocked
at relatively high speeds. Such per-
formance made it essential that the
young drivers become acquainted
with the responsiveness of their
cars to the steering wheel and brake
control, he said.
Time Lag in Decision.
| A Derby contestant soon finds
there is a time lag between the in
slant he decides to turn or stop and
the moment his racer reacts, Mr..
Keneipp said.
He emphasized that entrants
should not test their racers on the
streets and explained that trial
runs would be arranged on the Of
fetal Derby course when its loca-
ton is announced.
Mr.. Keneipp was interviewed by
Bill Coyle, radio director OF The
Star.
Also heard during the program
were Pat McDougall, IA, and Winter
Fletcher, Is, both of whom now are
giving full time to construction of
their racers after completing their
school work for the season. The two
Jefferson Junior High School stu
dents told Mr.. Coyle they expected
to have fast cars ready for the COM
petition July 20 which will draw
boys from all sections of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area.
The entrants have been receiving
advice from crafts instructors at
Barney Neighborhood House.
Scores of Inquiries.
| Derby headquarters has received
scores of inquiries from entrants.
The following appear to be of gen.
eral interest:
Q. Must number be painted on
! the racer?
| A. No. Racing numbers will be as
signed by Derby headquarters, and
stickers bearing official numbers will
be attached to the racers by officials.
@. What kind Of helmet must
wear during the race?
A. Official Derby racing helmets
will be issued to all contestants on
the day of the race. The helmets
and official white racing shirts will
be distributed without charge and
will become the property of the con-
testants.
@. How do carry my racer to the
course?
A. A few days before the Derby, all
contestants will receive instructions
to turn in their racers to the Chevro-
let dealers with whom they have
registered. The dealers will arrange
| for transportation of cars to the

transportation, Mr.. Foley told of
three isolated villages in Macedonia
which are inaccessiblye by road.
The Red Gross, he said, answered an
urgent appeal for clothes by ar
ranging with the Royal Air Force
to have $4,000 garments dropped
from IL bombers.
Mr. Foley also described the milk
program in CZechoslovakia, which is
being directed by John Givens, di-
rector of the Junior Red Cross, Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter, who is on
loan for six months for the overseas
job.
Roberts, BernadOtte to Speak.
While such domestic matters as
disaster relief, fund raising and
service of Red Cross chapters to
men in the armed forces also occu-
pied convention delegates today.
they will return to the international
aspects of Red Cross work tonight.
Former Supreme Court Justice Owen
D. Roberts and Count Folke Berna-
dotte, president of the Swedish Red
Cross Society, will discuss interna-
tional cooperation for world peace
and security.
1t. Gen. J. Lawton Collins, War
Department information chief, told
delegates at a banquet aast night
that it will take a generation of
occupation armies to change the
thinking Of the German people.
I'VE have learned that a short
occupation will never bring us to
our objective" he said.
"A complete generation has been
brought up imbued with the vile
tenets of Naziism," the general as
serted. "a year or S years or 10
years of occupation will not change
the minds of these boys and girls.
The boys will grow up to teach their
children what they themselves were
taught. The girls, as tomorrow's
mothers, will teach their children
hate and distrust and intolerance.
Undersecretary of the Navy John
L. Sullivan also looked to the future
in warning that this is not the
time for rest" He predicted that
the Red Cross will have mighty
share" in the task of winning the
peace.
"The work you have done and the
work you now plan at this conven-
tion," Mr.. Sullivan told the delegates
will help, I am certain, to tip the
scales in favor of humanitarian
understanding.
Here at home, our wounded and
our hospitalized veterans look hope
fully to the Red Cross for those
services and conveniences which the
Government does not provide and
far-away families cannot give. The
discharged men and women of the
armed services and the families of
those who did not return will need
you at their side for years to come.
Your influence in the American
home and among the growing gen.
Grafton of our younger boys and
girls must help weld the human
resources of the Nation into the
patriotic unity we need so desper-
ately."
The boys and girls to whom Mr..
Sullivan referred-members of the
Junior Red Cross-have been as
busy as the senior delegates at the
convention. At their own forums,
they have been stressing interna-
tional projects to be undertaken by
the 10000, 900 members of the junior
group.
Washington boys and girls who
have participated in the junior con-
vention activities include George
Norris, 1885 Third street NE; Sylvia
Rubin, lit Webster street NV;
Thomas McFee, 2940 Newark street
NV; Patricia Speight, 500 @ street
NV, and Harry Clayton, 422 M

MARDI GRA5 HTS
 NEW GAIETY PEAK
 IN NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, March 5.-New Orleans today threw itself into the abandon of its gayest Mardi Gras, seemingly to make up for the four funless years when parades were military marches and costumes were uniforms of khaki or navy blue.
 Here and there were reminders of the years when the war had not permitted a Mardi Gras: a grass skirt from the Pacific, a German helmet, boy in leather brooches from the Tyrol, an Oriental ki- mona.
 These were additions to the more typical costumes-pirate, pierrots, clowns, old-fashioned ladies, boys dressed as girls, girls dressed as boys
 Assembled in the city, overtak- ing its rooming facilities, was the largest throng in its carnival his- tory. The crowd expected to see the spectacular floats of Rex, ruler of the carnival. pass in review in the middle of the day.

.FISHERMEN'S UNION
 TO GIVE PREFERENCE
 TO VETS, SAYS AASE

Veterans of World War II will given preference over non-vet- eran job-seekers as far as the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union is concern ed, Harold Aase of the union told Legionnaires at their meeting held last night in the Dugout. Whenever openings occur on the deep-sea hal1- but vessels those men who were fishermen, belonging to the union, and who left to go into the service, will be given the first opportunity, with veterans who are not union men given the next chance at the job, after which they may join the union.
 In a general discussion of the job situation which confronts the returning veteran, Aase explained that union membership was not es- sential to getting work with the halibut fleet, but that of course ex- perienced fishermen would get first chances whenever openings oc- cured. He expressed the desire o1 the union to provide as many jobs as possible for the veterans.
 Last nights session of the Le- zion was described as "rip-snort- ing" meeting, with several subjects of community interest brought up for consideration, including the pro- posed use of the USO Club Rooms as a recreation center for Teen Ayers.
 Visitors who were present and made short interesting talks on vital topics included Representative Joe Krause of Ketchikan, Past Depart ment Commander J. c. Morris of Anchorage, who is returning from a trip south, and Comrade Cauley of Wrangell, who is active in pro- noting boxing, wrestling and other sports among the teen-age boys.
