The cost OF carelessness Is
one OF those myths that never
becames a reality until 1t is
told a policeman.
Here's a three act play that
tells a sad story.
In the first act n malicious
minded boy plays the roll OF
smart-alec. It's a big joke to
tear down a stop sign, carry II
away and destroy 1t under the
cover OF night.
Act two occurs the next
morning.
Mr.. | have.the.right-of-way
comes down a familiar often
Travelled street. Obviously. his
car is not under control. II
doesn't have TO be. Aren't
there stop signs at every street
which he relies upon as he
sails merrily through each in
tersection? No. little Johnny
smart-alec removed one OF
The scene becomes complicat-
ed. Mr.. out-of-town-guest ap-
proaches at a normal rate OF
speed because he Is a stran-
ger in the town. There is no
stop sign, he drives into the
intersection-and bang, A
split second and the cost OF
carelessness takes preemin'
ence.
Act three: The whole neigh
borhood Is aroused. The tele-
phone rings at police headquar-
ters. A radio cruiser resnonds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Out-oftown-
guests change vehicles. They

ambulance. Ten dollars for the
ride. The house doctor looks
them over. Another So. The
unplanned call at the hospital
costs another IS.
One policeman remains at
the scene to gather evidence
and the facts required to re-
port the accident. A wrecker
is called to clear the intersec-
ton. Mr.. out-of-town-guest
limps out of the hospital and
pays the garage s75 more. Mr..

der but wiser sneaks over TO
his insurance agent and reports
$5S damage to his car.
The curtain: The insurance
agent sits behind the scenes
figuring out where to divide the
costs, while the cost OF care

the high cost OF carelessness.

Political Hoopla
to Climax Battle

barrage of publicity with a dash
OF band music,-debate, a satrical
skit on student University rela-
tions and other political hoopla will
climax a battle over campus gov
ernment at Hill Auditorium here

The rally, with Prof. Theodore
Newcomb of the University OF

program to warm up student inter
est in two plans of campus govern.
ment, the councilform and con-
gress-cabinet systems.
The congress-cabinet plan calls
for election OF a student congress
by proportional representation
from the entire student body. The
congress, in turn, would name from
its membership a seven-member
cabinet that would act as an exc
cutive body.
Under the council.form plan the
students would elect from the
campus at large an eight-member
council and a president who would
be the council presiding officer and
official boss OF student government.
Tied in with the council would
be form consisting of heads OF
all recognized campus organiza-
tions. II would be presided over by
the council vice.president and
serve as a wind tunnel for opinions
OF various organized groups on the
campus.
Meanwhile, editorial exhorta-
tions have indicated the more than
$4,000 students on the University
campus are relatively uninterested
in who or what governs them. A
turnout OF at least 1000 Is neces.
sary TO ratify either Of the two pro-
posed systems.

France Fails 10 Get
League Share for Reds
BY the Associated Pres,

GENEVA, April l3.-France pro-
posed today that Russia be allowed
share of the Leag ~ of Nations
assets, but failed to obtain support
in the commission considering the
liquidation.
When no member seconded the
motion, made by French Delegate
Emil Charveriat, the commission
chairman. Sir Atul Chaterjee, re-
jected it.
M. Charveriat declared it would
be IAN equitable action" to give the
Soviet Union part of the Leagues
as yet unfixed total of liquid assets,
because the world owed her much
for her war victories.
The commissions proposal for
disposition of the 26-year-old
Leagues assets promises that only
the present members are entitled
to portions. M. Charveriat drew A
distinction in Russias case, saving
that she was expelled and had not
walked out.
A resolution providing for final
dissolution of the League on the
close OF its last assembly next week
awaited adoption.
The resolution. unanimously ap-
proved last night by a League COM
mission. calls for appointment of a
board OF liquidation to wind up the
Leagues affairs and provides for the

Callahan DiscIoses
Efforts 10 Increase
Efficiency Of Police

Metropolitan Police Department
officials today were taking steps to
bring their men "up to par" it has
been disclosed by Maj. Harvey G..
Callahan, superintendent of the
force.
In addressing a meeting of the
Almas Temple Friday Luncheon
Club yesterday, he said he would
hold his officials responsible to see
that certain standards of efficiency
were met by District policemen.
Two policemen have recently re-
signed, he said, rather than face
possible disciplinary action before
a department trial board
Maj. Callahan declared the de-
partment had "slumped" somewhat
and there were some troublesome
policemen
Responsibility Put on Aides.
He said that stepping up the ef-
ficiency of the force would be the
job of District inspectors, precinct
commanders and bureau heads and
that it was up to them to report
ineficiency on the part OF any po-
liceman, so that appropriate action
by the superintendent at a trial
board can be instituted.
The policemen who resigned were
named as George w. Stewart, 26.
formerly of the sixth precinct, and
Fred Havens, 80, formerly of the
eighth precinct.
Stewart resigned March 81 after
being ordered by trial board to
pay 500 fine on a charge of
failing to check regularly with his
station by telephone, Sixth Precinct
Capt. Robert c. Pearce said.
Failure to Pull Boxes Charged.
Capt. Pearce declared Stewart
failed to pull boxes and that 1t was
necessary for other officers from
the precinct to search for him for
IL hours before he put in an appear
ance at the station.
Havens resigned Tuesday after
Capt. Arthur Belt of the eighth
precinct said he recommended
Havens' appearance before a trial
board on a charge of failing to ap-
pear at the department clinic after
he had applied for a sick card"
