By Harry Lever

special-type Marine Corps jeep
rolled off the beach here late yes
terday into six feet of water and
churned around in the surf for sew
eral minutes to inaugurate a new
and unexpected era in amphlbious
automotive vehicles.
Designed for fording streams and
rivers under combat conditions, the
vehicles left a wide wash behind ii
as it SWAN" around in Chesapeake

permit it to travel under water to
a depth of about six feet for 80
minutes. With reporters and pho
tographers as passengers, it cavorted
around in the bay with the same

Only One Try, the illustrated
question and answer series on Wash
ington's traffic laws appearing in
The Evening Star daily, has been
issued in pamphlet form by The
Star and is now being distributed
by the Traffic Department to all ap-
plicants for drivers permits.
The booklet, totaling 48 pages,
contains As Of the problems and is
preceded by a foreword written by
George E. Keneipp, Director of We
hicles and Traffic.
In his comment Mr.. Keneipp de-
clared:
"At the moment, it is my opinion
that far more attention should be
given to teaching American motor
lists the rules of the road, and the
rights of pedestrians and other
drivers, than has been the general
practice since traffic safety became
one of. the principal problems of
the day.
"It Is not that too much time and
money have been spent on engineer
ing and enforcement, but that these
topics have received too much notice
while that of education has been
allowed to sag.

World Food Board

A committee OF the United Ma.
tions Food and Agriculture Organ.
ization will begin a series OF meet.
ings here starting october % tt
work out details for a permanent
World Food Board.
The proposed agency would at.
tempt to stabilize world agricultural
prices, bring about better distribu.
ton of food stocks and provide ade.
quate diets for all countries.
Plans for the meeting were out.
lined yesterday by Sir John Boye
Orr, director general of FAC.
Sir John took the opportunity tt
defend the organization against q
charge by the National Association
Of Commodity Exchanges and Allied
Trades that. FAC is out to abolish
private trade.
He said such a charge was
"looney" and showed that the
spokesman for the association lob.
viously had never read the pro-
posals" for the World Food Board
The association charged that the
boards objectives would result in q
worldwide totalitarian system"
The committee working on plans
for the board was set up in Sep
tember at an FAC conference in
Copenhagen.

only One Try Star Booklet,
Issued With Drivers Permits

President Truman was at his high
way conference last May when he
declared there are too many nuts
and 'morons,, behind the wheels of
motor cars today.
These nuts and 'morons' claim
most of the traffic attention of our
police departments.
There is much to be learned
about the rules of the road which
has as it's basis the proper attitude
of the driver-an attitude which
realizes that others have rights
which must be respected.
II can think of nothing better to
serve as 'refresher course in
driving regulations than this booklet
issued by The Washington Star. 1t
combines under one cover the in
teresting series of sketches, ques-
tions and answers that have ap-
peared in The Star during recent
weeks. If read and needed by the
driving public the number of acci-
dents hereabouts will be continually
reduced in the future, instead of
surgfng up again after the present
idea of safety first has spent itself.
Altogether, $4,000 copies of the
pamphlet have been presented to
the Traffic Department by The
Star as q public service.

A waterproof ignition system,
including a distributor and coil, a
leakproof battery and aviation type
spark plugs, are the principal COM
ponents of the seagoing vehicle, and
its most spectacular parts are two
devices like periscopes which serve
as an air-intake and exhaust pipe.
Chugging along at approximately
5 miles per hour, the jeep developed
slight tendency to float for few
seconds on hitting the water but
quickly overcame this.
Exhaust Blows Smoke Rings.
AS the jeep battled the surf
during the demonstration, its ele-
vated exhaust emitted smoke
rings, and the windshield wiper
continued to wipe futilely under a
few inches of water.
A major of Marines was asked
what would happen if the vehicle
exceeded its depth. He pointed
casually to Sergt. Harmon.
THAT guy would be gone, and
that would be that" he said.
Once it is waterproofed, the new
type jeep is permanently equipped
both for land or on sea. It's ocean,
touring propensities have proven SO
successful, officers said, that the
Navy Bureau of Ships has ordered
large number of kits to equip its
roster of standard jeeps for sea-
going service.

Special Gifts Division
OF Chest Campaign
Reaches 25% Of Goal

The Special Gifts Unit Of the
Community Chest Federation cam
paign today reported collection of
almost rs per cent Of its quota.
Col. Chauncey Parker, chairman
of the unit, announced the total
at the second report meeting Of the
group held today at the YWCA. He
said 311, or about 20 per cent of the
cards used for solicitation by this
unit had been turned in. The Spe-
cial Gifts Unit quota is not made
public, since the money 1t collects
is later assigned to the Government,
Business or Residential Units and
lis included in their goals.
William A. M. Burden, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce for Air and
vice chairman in charge of the
Government division Of the Special
Gifts Unit, said he was encouraged"
by the progress in contributions
from Government employees in the
high-salaried brackets.
This is the first year the Special
Gifts Unit has made an appeal to
Government employees, he pointed
out, so there was no way to COM
pare the total with last years con-
tributions. But he said he believed
the total Government contributions
would be more than last year.
The other vice chairmen. Mrs.
Milton w. King, Frank r. Jelleff and
Lawrence E. Williams, agreed that
their report at this time was "en-
couraging." Some contributors have
decreased their gifts, they said, but
others have increased the amount
they contributed. The total should
be as high if not higher than last
years, they believed.
Col. Parker emphasized that the
unit hoped to raise its last years
total by at least 1875 per cent.

Hope for Early
Accord in Beer
Dispute Fades
Next PorIey Slated
Monday; Supply
Here Diminishes

Washington's beer supply con-
tinued to diminish today as hopes
for a settlement of the brewery
workers and drivers strike before
the week end disappeared. A pro-
posed compromise was rejected yes
terday by the striking workers.
No further negotiations are
planned in the week -old strike until
next Monday since both James A.
Holden, United States conciliator,
and Thomas Cation, union business
agent. are out of town and are not
expected back until then.
Affected by the strike are one
brewery and n distributing firms
in the District and Virginia. Ac-
cording to the union, some 23C
inside workers and $50 drivers are
on strike.
Some Beer Delivered.
Three Of the smaller distributors
have signed agreements with the
union-thus some beer is being de-
ivered to a number of restaurants
and bars in the city. But as a
whole the beer shortage will begin
to be felt by the week end, it was
believed.
The Washington Restaurant As
sociation reported today that many
restaurants now are out of beer.
Beer, the association said, is hard
to stock in large quantities and
though many restaurants tried to
hold back as much as they could,
their supply is pretty well gone.
Some restaurants have good sup
plies because they had prestrike
contracts with the three companies
which have signed, the association
said.
Stores Limit Sales.
Most liquor stores in the District
still have beer but have been get
ting few deliveries. Some are be-
ginning to limit sales.
Members Of the AFL Beer and
Soda Water Drivers and Helpers,
Local 81, met yesterday at Laborers'
Hall, 525 New Jersey avenue NV,
and rejected the proposal Of $50 a
week base pay and cents commits
sion per case on deliveries. Drivers
asked for $35 a week and
IL cents commission, but have re-
duced demands to $50 a week and 10
cents commission.
"This leaves us right where we
started" w. Cameron Burton, at
torney for the employers, said.
Employees Meet.
Mr.. Burton said the employers met
yesterday at the Hamilton Hotel. but
took no action when the unions
rejection of the compromise pro-
posal was announced. The last pro-
posal made by the employers was
$50 a week and 7 cents commission
on each case, he pointed out.
Inside workers, who also are in
volyed in the dispute, yesterday
joined the drivers and helpers in
rejecting the proposals made to
them.
Union spokesmen said the inside
workers are asking $40 a week. The
company's counter proposal was $50
a week. Beer truck drivers who
handle kegs only are paid $38 a week
plus 10 cents commission on each
half keg and S cents on each quarter
keg. The drivers are asking 20
cents for half kegs and 5 cents for
quarter kegs but are seeking no in
crease in the basic wage.
