steamers" were the most modern

1T takes quick thinking to contro
a skid" he commented. I'm heavy
traffic, I'd apply the brakes gently
and try to keep the wheels in line
In light trafic, I'd use the brakes
even less"
James F. Tingstrum, taxicab driver
3104 North Sixth street, Arlington
Va, with 10 years experience behind
the wheel; was among others cues
TONED. He offered another theory
on handling skids.
Il wouldn't apply the brakes" Mr.
Tingstrum said. I'D turn the wheels
away from the direction in which
the car was skidding."
The Education and Public In
formation Committee of the advis.
ory board offers these skid-control
suggestions, based on experience OF
professional drivers:
/. Turn front wheels in direction
rear end Is skidding. Do this care
fully to avoid rapid reverse skid.
2. Keep foot on accelerator. Feed
gas gently to maintain traction II
there are no other vehicles immedi-
ately ahead.
8. II skid Is directly forward and
there are other vehicles immediate
ly ahead, a careful zigzag will in
crease distance Travelled and assist
in slowing car.
4. Keep foot of brake. Using
brake when in skid will only make
1t worse. When control of car is
regained, give brake pedal short,
light jab to stop.

$500, 900 Research Program
Urged on Construction Council

A committee headed by Eric
Johnston. former president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, today proposed that the Ma
tion's construction industry set up
a $500,000 program of research. \
The proposal, which anticipates a
renewed demand for enactment OF
the Wagner -Ellender- Taft general
housing bill in Congress, providing
for Government research in this
field, was disclosed at the opening
session of the Construction Industry
Advisory Council in the United
States Chamber of Commerce Build
ing.
The council, composed Of about
100 representatives of national trade
and professional associations con-
nected with the building industry,
was set up year ago by the ma
tional chamber. The meetings were
to be held today and tomorrow.
Under the proposal, the council
would request the National Academy
of Science, through the National
Research Council, to establish a
construction research board for at
least five years at minimum of
100000 a year.
The board would not only serve
as . "disinterested" clearing house

Are You An Expert Driver?

What are Washingtonians' solu.
tions to familiar driving problems
In cooperation with the safety
campaign of the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board, The Star is
interviewing motorists concerning
situations which may develop ir
everyday driving. Here is the first
question with four of the replies.
If your car started to skid on wei
or icy pavement, what would you
do?
Mrs. Jean Panther, waitress, l0s
Kentucky avenue Sc, said:
IF that happened while was
driving, I'd try to stop the car by
releasing the gas and applying the
brakes. Then I'd jump out"
Compare Mrs. Panther's reaction
and those of the others interviewed
with the recommended procedure
presented below.
Virgil Wharton, garage manager
l3 T street NE, an operator of
motor vehicles for Is years, had a
different idea as to the proper
method Of overcoming the hazard.
He said.
"I'd turn with the skid and
release the gas, but I wouldn't ap-
ply the brakes"
BY this, Mr.. Wharton explained
he would turn his cars front wheels
in the same direction as the rear
wheels were sliding.
Walter S. Hawkins, print shop
employe, 416 Tenth street Sc, said
he had been interested in driving
problems since days in which the

ror construction information, but
would explore promising research
fields and stimulate interest in in
tensive cultivation of such fields"
At the opening of this mornings
session, John c. Stevens of Portland
Greg, past president of the Ameri-
can Society Of Civil Engineers, called
for emancipation" OF the construc-
ton industry from bureaucratic
control" and of the American people
from selfish, arrogant labor leaders.
James r. Edmunds, jr, president
OF the American Institute Of Archi-
tects, was critical of Government
housing activity.
The American construction in
dustry cannot operate under the
sort Of regulated economy that has
been forced upon us since the shoot
ing war was over he said.
Thomas s. Holden, president OF
the F. w. Dodge Corp, said Housing
Expediter Wilson w. Wyatt must
be given credit for steps to stimu-
late production OF critical building
materials last spring.
Harry H. Steidle, manager of the
Prefabricated Home Manufacturers
Institute, however, criticized officials
OF the National Housing Agency
who believe prefabricated houses
can come from test tubes"

Increases by Some Loundries
May Sturt General Price Rise

from 1885 to 211s cents a pound.
Laundries absorbed another price
jolt when paper advanced from 61s
or Z cents to Is and 20 cents a
pound. And there was no guaran-
tee Of getting any kind of paper.
Most of the paper now available
is heavier, wrapping one bundle
instead Of the three gained before.
The shortage Is so critical that one,
laundry bought ton Of wall paper
for wrapping bundles.
The manager Of one plant blamed
inequities imposed by the OPA for
the current readjustment In prices.
Efficient laundries with low op-
Grating costs were penalized by OPA
by receiving only 3 to 5 per cent
price increases, while less efficient
ones were given increases up to is
per cent, he said.

Sacks Parking Lease Offer

The Board Of Directors of the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
has approved an offer Of George
Sacks to lease to Montgomery Coun-
ty the privately owner off-street
parking facilities in front of several
properties in the $500 block Of Wis
consin avenue.
The county commissioners will be
requested to limit parking in this
area to one hour, the time allowed
in the areas covered by parking
meters.
It was explained that since the
property is privately owned, al
though it seems to be q part of the
street, the parking laws have not
applied and cars have parked there
as long as they wished. Mr.. Sacks
will not permit the installation of
parking meters on his property but
he is willing to lease it for year at
a nominal fee
