To Trap
Drinking Drivers

PHOENIX, Jan. 10 - Drunken
driving in Arizona henceforth will
be more dangerous than ever-to
the drivers.
The state highway patrol an
nounced today that road blocks,
such as proved highly successful on
New Years eve, will be set up at
sundry points and at various times
to trap tippling drivers before they
have an opportunity to cause dam
age.
Patrol superintendent Horace
Moore said the state planned to use
its limited facilities to the utmost
in reducing highway accidents anc
especially to wipe out tipsy driving
Blockades at which drivers will
be eXaminted for signs of drinking
will be set up most frequently dur
ing week ends and on arteries lead
ing from drink-d dispensing estab-
lishments, but Moore emphasized
there will be no definite pattern fol
lowed.
I'm other words" the official as
serted, eff you're drinking driver
you'll never know when you are
heading right into a trap"

Ban Put On In 1912


Gold mining was suspended in
1912, in order to turn manpoWe1
and equipment to the mining OF
essential war metals. The shut
down also saved explosives used in
blasting and conserved material for
handling ore Only exceptions were
mines producing metals such as cop
per, zinc and lead, and small oper-
ations employing a few men.
1t is estimated that a year or
more may be required to place some
mining properties in working order,
the National Geographic Society re-
ports. During the mining holiday
crews have tended pumps and kept
timbering in repair.
Output Centered In West
Most of the gold mined in the
United States comes from Western
sources. The traditional leaders
have been California, South Dakota,
Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Arizona,
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington.
Utah rose to the top in the sus-
pension period on the gold output
incidental to its copper production.
Only a few states east of the Mis-
sissippi mined enough gold to be
listed in the official statistics.

(By MARTY LOUGHMAN)

| Mayor of NOgaleS, Arizona.
Dear Jimmy:
Well, it's 1946-start of a new
year. Want to compliment you on
your conducting of the city's affairs.
Keep it up.
One thing about your administra-
ton: you are more broadminded
than your predecessors. They raised
cain with us because we put up an
old wooden shack on the main stem
to stimulate the drive for funds for
the infantile paralysis campaign
But we can see that old wooden
shacks don't bother your bunch,
otherwise you would have had re-
moved that old dilapidated, broken
down, wrecked MP's shed at the
line. 1t doesn't bother us tomato
men-we only see it ten or twenty
times a day-but some tourist pass
ing for the first time might think
it's a monument of some kind.
Say, Jimmy, if my "pal' Andy
Bookas tries to hire you to sue me,
tip me off will you? He tells Grover
Marsteller, "By golly, I'm sick and
tired out that Loughman what he's
write about me. I gonna sued him. %
And Grover says, What are you
going to sue him for?''
So Andy sez, well, it amt be for
britches his promises, but sued for
definition my characters.
Jimmy, if I ever gave a definition
of his character this paper couldn't t
print it.
Speaking of cemeteries-and that's
what we were doing in the last few
letters-what do you think of the
looks of ours?
And speaking again of cemeteries,
did I ever tell you about the time
my Uncle Malachi was walking CD
home from a session at Krausmey-
er's saloon? Well, he wanted to
make a short cut home so he cut
through the cemetery, and on his
way he fell into freshly dug grave
whose occupant had not yet arrived.
About a half hour later, his pals,
Sweeney and Hanrahan, were pass
ing on their way from Krausmeyer' S
also, and they heard my Uncle NAL
achi hollering from the bottom of
the pit. He was saying, I'm cold
down here"
So Sweeney sez to Hanrahan:
1.-The guy sez he's cold-let's put a
cover on him."
So they proceeded to shovel a
load Of dirt on him and Hanrahan
sez, There's some covers fer ye me
bye that'l keep you warm"
Well, just as the sun was coming
up in the morning my Uncle Mala-
chi woke up, shook the dirt off him.
and stood up in the pit, still a little
groggy. He looked around him, his
head just reaching the top of the
hole and he saw all the stones and
markers. 'Well, well, we'll" he scz
''Whadda va knoW-it's resurrection
day and I'm the first one up"
Best regards,
MARTY.
P.S.-Jin, note that I know your
correct middle initial-it's "V''-o1
did you miss the "B" in another
paper?

DurdoneHes Problem

The Soviet note to Turkey proposing revision of the Montreaux
Convention which governs navigation rights between the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean, has placed another indigestible dish on the
overloaded diplomatic table. The note made five suggestions: Cd that
the straits should always be open for the passage of merchant vessels
of all nations; GU that they should be always open to the warships
of Black Sea powers; CD that Warships Of other powers should be
barred except in cases specially provided for; () that the establish
ment of the regime of the straits must constitute the competence
of Turkey and the other Black Sea powers; (5) that the defenses
OF the straits should be Jointly organized by Turkey and the Soviet
Union. The first three of these proposals conform closely to ones
made by Mr.. Byrnes last November and, if the Russian plan had
stopped there, it would have been acceptable to Turkey and the other
SlgnatOreS OF MOntreauX a a basis for negotiation. But the fourth
point appears to exclude all but the Black Sea powers from the
picture, leaving Turkey to deal in isolation with mighty Russia
and two of its satellites. And the fifth is interpreted as a demand
for Russian bases Oh Turkish soil.
Not surprisingly Ankara has indicated that it regards these pro
posas a incompatible with Turkish sovereignty and "cateeornaUv
unacceptable. Unfortunately, the u, S. S. R. can appeal to several
historical precedentS in support of its claims: for instance, the demands
made by President Theodore Roosevelt OF Colombia which preceded
the acquisition by the United States of the Panama Canal Zone, and
British lnsstence o. special rights in Egypt in CONNECTION with the
oue canal n TACT is that, before the Dardenelles problem can

CONGRESS DID ALL RIGHT
BY THE NAM, NAM SAYS

Topping Congress long list of gifts to the National Assn. of
Manufacturers was its decision to stay out of Washington until
January, the NAM said candidly in its weekly newsletter Aug. 3 as it
rated the congressional voting record the best-for big business-in
the last IS years.
The fact that Congress did not want a fall session lis a encour-
aging business factor to the extent that the work left undone at the
Capitol consists of thousands of bills which would impose additional
costs Or regulations, or both, on industrial enterprise" the NAM
News said.
"A majority of the Congress has had n O liking for this legislation,
and since VI Day, it has displayed more backbone than any Congress
in a decade and a half in resisting New Deal bureaucrats, labor and
the do-gooders who now constitute a major nuisance IN economic
and social life.
The reconVcrsiOn picture would be far less encouraging today
if the Congress had not resisted the il-adVised $25 PEI week federal
unemployment compensation program, a n immediate increase in
the minimum wage rate, the socialistic full employment program
and the OPA-Bowes philosophy Of boosting wages without compen-
Sating price increases
The Congress showed a definite desire to protect the system
of private enterprise. It voted relief from the excess war profits
tax, discontinued the renegOtiatiOn of profits law and resisted
numerous proposals to put the federal government in direct compe-
ttOn with private business. 1t provided in the OPA EXTENSION law
a program designed to Iquidate that agency within a year"
Under a headline: NAM Needed Often AS 18th Congress
Wrote Record OF Help To Enterprise, Scant Attention To Leftists"
the NAM tailed its legislative score-card as follows:
Eleven bills which it supported were passed.
Three which it supported were defeated.
Three which it opposed became law.
Ten which it opposed were defeated-The Call.
