Traffic Rules Enforcement

The police department is launching
a campaign better observance of traf-
fic rules. 1t is Enthusiastically desig-
mated as a drive for strict enforce
ment. The object, which is clearly to
increase safety in traffic, cannot be
too highly commended. But it should
be considered that the traffic squad
is i%nadequately manned to assure the
desired results.
While the City Council is backing
the movement it should simultaneous
ly increase the traffic division of the
police department with enough addi-
tlonal men to make complete enforce
ment possible.
The present force cannot hope to
cope with the city-wide situation. This
is particularly apparent at through
street intersections beyond the bust
ness district, where motorists continual
ly fail to observe stop signs but in
stead often literally speed through
the crossing and escape accident only
by the interposition of a kindly provi-
dence. Perpetual patrolling of through
streets would be necessary to catch the
offenders and then some would escape.
The purpose is not to discourage
the present enforcement effort. The
traffic squad does an excellent lob
with it's limited personnel. The object
is to encourage the Council to give the
police department sufficient strength
to make it's campaign a more potent
weapon for safety.

Edgar, my farmer friend, grew
lyrical as we passed through two
of his hayfields. A a gourmet sur
veys a feast, as a critic exults in
a great picture, as a l%itterateur
tastes a masterpiece, so this man
of the fields rejoiced in an abun-
dant and succuleat harvest Of hay,
ready for the scythe. He pointed
out its merits to my uncompre-
bending eyes, contrasting it with
the poor quality of last years mea-
ger crop.
To me, the fields were merely
two patches Of long and heavy
grass; to Edgar they were a spe-
cial bounty Of nature, assur-
ing good food for his stock next
| Winter.
Without knowing it, my friend
was preaching to me a sermon
upon gratitude for Gods everyday
gifts, which come in natural
course and sustain the on : going
of life. Natures goodness is as
clearly displayed in a bountiful
crop of hay as in a sunset. In a
time and a world distracted by
uncertainty, it is good to find the
processes OF the seasons returning,
bounty-laden, for mans use.
Fol all the commonplace ways
wherein Thou expressest Thy care
for man, we give Thee thanks. O
Father In Heaven, Amen.

Warren Johnson HOnOred

The Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond is to be congratulated for it's
selection of Warren S. Johnson of
Wilmington to a place on it's directo-
rate. Mr.. Johnson, president of the
Peoples Savings and Trust Company,
has been so closely identified with the
financial community of North Caro-
lima and the South for so many years,
his services will be of benefit to the
entire area of the Richmond jurisdic-
ton.
President of the Peoples bank since
1888, after previous service as vice
president and trust officer, he brought
the bank through the grievous after
math Of a depression and the stress
of World War II with eminent sue
cess. Primarily a banker, he is no less
a friend, rich in human sympathy and
kindness, a keen observer and clear
thinker with broad vision and progress
sive spirit.
He brings to his new post the
seasoned judgment of ripe experience.

Manhattan Project Facilities Will
Be Used For Nuclear Energy Testing

above six and one-half mills by
using coal or other fuel, Groves
said.
Groves said, however, that while
the cost of coal and fuel oil is
steadily increasing, the price OF
nuclear power should just as
steadily decline after the initial
cost in equipment investment and
operating expenses.
Groves said this development
does not involve a new method OF
generating power as did the steam
engine but is only a new fuel that
would replace coal, gas Or water
power.
"Although there is a remote pos
sibility that in the future some
of the energy available within
the atom may be released direct
ly through a medium other than
a heat engine, such a device is
not at present known he said.
A number OF engineers and
scientists have been given leaves
of absence from their work and
assigned to the power project.

How To End Strikes

Whether John l.. Lewis burrows
Ibis beetling brows behind bars, is re-
quired to answer a civil action or goes
free as a result of this contempt cita-
ton, bituminous coal miners to a num-
Der estimated at 100000 stopped work
yesterday and so gave encouragement
to workers. in other industries to pro-
coed with the strike wave which has
been gathering for some time.
Unless the government finds a way
to halt the movement quickly, not only
ending the mine strike but preventing
other strikes in key industries, recon-
version to peacetime production will
again be delayed at a cost nobody can
accurately estimate.
The question is, what can the gov
eminent do with Congress in adjourn
ment?
There is one way that any strike in
any union could be ended promptly. 1t
is to refuse unemployment compensa-
ton to strikers. John L. Lewis min
ers union affords a fair example of
what would happen if this were done.
Including the families of these 400,-
900 miners, a million persons at least
are involved. The miners have a seven
m~illion-dollar treasury, or on this esti-
mate seven dollars a person affected
by the strike. If unemployment COM
p~ensation were denied them, their seven
million dollars would not go far to-
ward their support if equally distribut-
ed among them all. Lewis or no Lewis,
they would be back at the pit mouths
begging to get back to work in short
order.
1nasmuch as unemployment COM
pensation has to come from the nations
taxpayers, there is no justice in dis
t%ributing it among any group that in
terferes with taxpayers incomes by in
%terrupting production and keeping
many thousands of persons willing to
work both in industry and general bust
ness off the job.
The government made a serious
mistake during the last strike wave by
allowing strikers unemployment COM
pensation. It is to be hoped that Wash
ington does not again repeat it's blum
der.

Louis Newman, formerly of
Washington, D. c., probably won
most Of his Master Points in the
east, but he is now a resident of
San Francisco and o his life
m~astership out there, becoming the
Pacific coasts third Life Master.
Newman liked today's hand and l
think you will agree that a decep-
tive play such as South made, when
successful, is quite gratifying.
East won the first trick with the
ace of clubs. If he had shifted to a
diamond, he could have defeated
the contract Immediately, but he
had an idea that his partners club
lead might have been a singleton,
so he returned the three of clubs.
Newman realized that if he dis
carded a diamond, West would
switch to diamonds-he could not
make his contract with that play.
AS opponents are quick to shift to
the suit that appears to be weak,
Newman decided to make a daring
play that might have cost him an
other trick. He discarded the six of
hearts, indicating that he had heart
losers and was not afraid of the
diamond suit.
West fell into the trap. He won
the club trick with the king and
returned the eight of hearts. New
man won this with the ace, pick
ed up the trumps, and was able to
discard of the losing diamonds
on dummy's good heart, and the
other two on the queen and jack
OF clubs.
Newman felt justified in making
the try for this hand, as he prob
ably would not get many points
for going down one at four spades.
He was inclined to feel that his
partner should have passed his
three-spade bid. At a three-spade
contract he would not have dared
to make the heart play. while at
rubber bridge the heart play would
be absolutely the correct one.

i. S. Trade Position

At the meeting of the preliminary
committee for the International Con-
ference on Trade and Employment, now
under way in London, the United States
delegation, with the commerce of the
nation in mind, has declared it's inten-
ton to disagree with any trade char
ter unless the procedure for tariff
bargaining is first settled. The point
at issue is margins of preference "
which means that a country which re-
duces normal duties need not at the
same time reduce duties in areas to
which it grants preference. This con-
stitutes the key to the United States
program for trade expansion. It is con.
trary to the position taken by Britain.
Writing in the New York Times from
London, Michael l.. Hoffman explains
the situation thus:
IF American exporters gain q re-.
duction in the Australian duty on auto.
moDlles, Tor example, they would be
. little better off if at the same time
the Australian duty on B~ritish-made
cars was lowered proportionately. The
margain of advantage of the British
manufacturer would be unchanged anc
his relative advantage would be in.
creased. The United States Govern.
ment feels it cannot possibly sell the
trade barrier reduction program t.
American business unless this possible
lily is ruled out at the start.
"The British Government. on the
other hand, is under considerable pres
sure not to agree to this rule for thu
bargaining that is to begin in Genev:

tries everywhere, British industry tina

the cost of moving in coal, gas or

3. The nuclear power plant might
be used il connection with the gas
turbine as an operating or stand
by to existing large utilities.
Groves said the experiments
here are on %long-range viewpoint
and emphasized that generation
Of power from the first plants
will not be as cheap as that pro-
duced now instead of h%ydro-elec-
trio plants.
The estimated cost of producing
electricity with nuclear fuel at
first is eight mills per kilowatt

similar in all products. Since Great
Britain has had a free hand in world
trade for many years it is time the

it's monopoly. The present proposal
may be logical way to do it.

Town Policemen
Now Patrol In
Motor Scooter

A motor scooter costing $288.38
was recently purchased by the
town for the use of Sergt. Lewis
Butt and Policeman Forrest
Magruder, who have been sworn in
as special deputy sheriffs and have
full police authority in Rockville.
Officials say the two men will be
able to patrol the streets and
check more easily for overtime
parking with the scooter. The
town has $50 parking meters from
which it receives an average of
$1,000 a month.
According to Mrs. Leigh Allnutt,
town clerk, after the meters are
paid for, it is planned to use the
revenue to establish and improve
all-day parking lots and to i'm
prove the streets.
The influx of new residents in
Rockville has caused the Town
Council to schedule two meetings
{ month instead of the customary
ore. Mrs. Allnutt said the popula-
ton has almost doubled in the
past year and the estimated
population is now $500.
Decision to hold the extra
monthly meeting was made after

League Wants
Charter Board

Because the Leagues pro-char-

by certain County newspapers, it
seems important to remind mem
bers of the following facts:
"TEe Leagues active support of
the election of a charter board is
given with the unanimous consent
of League members. This action
was approved at the regular meet
ing Of March 20, 1916.
"The Montgomery County Lea
CUES stand on this home rule
issue is in direct accord with the
National Leagues policy of work
ing for efficient and economical
local government.
"The charter movemant-so cal
led because the Maryland Con.
situation provides that any
county seeking Home rule
must draw up a constitution or
charter to be submitted to the
vo,crs-is not a partisan issue
II is supported by citizens of both
parties. Neither the Charter
Committee nor the League cares
what the voters affiliations are
The important thing is to get a
majority of Yes votes on the
charter referendum.
There is to be no vote on a
particular dlarter at this election
No existing charter for Mont
gomary County is under considera-
ton. The question before the
county on November 5 is simply
this: Shall we elect a board to
draw up for our consideration
without cost to the county, home
rule charter? Adoption or re-
lection of such a charter will be
decided in 1948."
