I'm rainy and SNOWY weather, it's
important to drive slowly, particu-
larly at night. In rain and snow,
many people seem to drive just as
fast as they do in good weather. In
icy weather, people should leave
home for work earlier than they do
on other mornings, so they won't
have to rush. In cold weather,
people have their car windows up
and can't give signals by hand
I'm in favor Of mechanical signals
People should give full time and
attention to their driving, no mat

A letter to President Truman ask

welcome his desire to liberalize i'm
migration laws to allow some of
these survivors to find new haven
in America.

statesmanslike reply to Ibn Saud
in which he once again reaffirmed
the traditional Endorsement Of

continued. "We are heartened by
his unceasing efforts to open the

'We submit, Mr.. President, that
the time has come to take a firm
and uncompromising position with
those elements in our Government
as well as with the British govern
ment to insist that the program,
which represents the accepted Amer
ican foreign policy be implemented
without further delay. We further
submit, that the long and shameful
record of delay and procrastination
on the part of the British mandatory
power is ample proof that human
considerations are being sacrificed
in the interest of some other ex-
pedient, whatever 1t may be, and
that therefore much more direct
action is required to enforce your
program on behalf of the 100000
displaced persons in Europe.
