Traffic Court Control
Over CoIIateraIF Fees
Urged by C|agett

The Commissioners should return
control of collateral fees to Munich
pal Court because the fixing of
fines is a judicial function" Judge
Brice Clagett, of the Municipal
Court of Appeals, told the TRAFFIC
Advisory Committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade at the Will
lard Hotel yesterday.
Judge Clagett said the principal
reason for his proposal was the
habit" which has grown here of
people going to court merely to have
their fines reduced"
For example, he said, the mini
mum collateral for a double parking
violation Is now $40, while judges
habitually impose a fine of SO or
less for the offense when the case
IS taken to court.
New Bureau" Discussed.
Never in my recollection has
Judge fined anyone as much as $40
for double parking" Judge Clagett
asserted.
His remarks came during a dis
cussion Of a proposed violations
bureau" Such a bureau, it was
brought out, would permit all traffic
violators to report to one place each
day.
Justice Clagett said he was "vio-
lently opposed to any system which
would take the violators from the
precincts to bureau or any other
central place" to deposit collateral
or arrange for court appearance,
declaring such a system would only
result in confusion and greater lack
Of enforcement"
The group voted against a pro-
posal by Washington I. Cleveland,
chairman of a subcommittee study
ing proposed violations bureau"
to have traffic violators sign a paper
acknowledging their guilt when they
elected to forfeit collateral on the
ground this would reduce violations.
Parking Needs Emphasized.
p. Y. K. Howatt. chairman of
the District Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency, told the committee his group
considered District parking facilities
Of such vital importance" that their
construction should not be consid-
cred as interfering with veterans
housing. Mr.. Howatt reported that

WASHINGTON, Oct. A-RepOrts that small number of atomic bombs had been sent to Northern England for sockpiling brought flood of diplomatic denals from high U S. sources It is significant, how ever that the British said little Instead, they sent very interesting figure to the United States, He is Brigadier Menze, top intelligence man of all England Menze is head of MS British Military Inteigence) M6 British Mlitary-Political Intelli- gence) and M12 British Russian Intelligence). Reason for his hurried trip the United States was to plug leaks
 Since England was partner in producing the A-bomb and since Canada, the third partner, sup piled the uranium, it would seem that they were en- titled to share in the final result Nevertheless the
 decision to send small quantity of A-bombs to England was so closely guarded that it known only to about six top men in the US.A In that con- necton it is significant that very few civilians even in the Cabinet, know much of the whereabouts or numbers of the A-bomb. This illustrated during Cabinet session shortly before Harold Ickes retired as Secretary of the Interior.
 Ickes who has habit of speaking his mind said he understood that civilian in the United
 States knew where the A-bombs were kept. All the
 bombs he said, in the hands of the military, situation which he described as dangerous in that it might set the stage whereby group of brass hats
 could take over the country merely by issuing an utimatum
 Secretary of the Navy Forrestal took exception to this, whereupon Ickes asked:
 Do you know where the A-bombs are kept?" Forrestal admitted that he didn't Do you know where the A-bomhs kept?" continued Ickes turning to Secretary Patterson, the head of the Army
 Patterson replied that he did not know. | Ickes then asked President Truman if he knew where the atomic bombs were located. Again the
 answer in the negative. NOTE-In the opinion of this colunnist, few
 military have civilian welfare at heart than General Eisenhower and Admiral Nimitz, pres
 ent leaders of the Army and Navy forces. Not all the Army-Navy brass share their views, however, and

No Dictator Needed

The following observations not based on any poll ot suggest national trend Nevertheless it is remarkable number of times in recent weeks that people nave been heard say What this situation needs is dictator or words to that effect
 "This situation" of course the spectacle of the countrys economic control passing from the many prvate and governmental hands that keep it balanced into the nan of The suggested was nonsensca to be sure but made facetiousy And it's very thoughtless points up potential danger
 The that the economic dictatorship of John LeWls was brief does that Sinclair Lewis (no reatlon wrote it can't happen here For when our laws ana their administration reach point where any cllzeh lapc Wall Street baron make the nation dance to HIS tune-and both have done ita real danger IS present.
 This is an age Relationships. We and the rest of the world have them their tyrannca oppressive Worst Yet when unofficial dictatorship of or group takes control confusion and threatens disaster there are always who would effect cure by dose of the same disease.
 There is no denying the neat efficiency of dictator government It acts quickly and institutes overnight changes which labeled reforms or excused on the is likely to be peased The situation IS Tn hand ana the people saved the trouble of worrying And that Is all right with the dictator He does not ask thought only ap prova
 There are some unfortunately who will always admire strength for its sake when it IS used TOT ev pu poses But there undoubtedly who will wish TOT dictatorship that affords quick relief from panic without stopping think that they putting themselves n the position the apprentice They always the magic word that the broom fetching water but they seldom know the word that will stop it. Thus their servant becomes their destroyer.
 On the other hand the ways of democracy can seem slow and fumbing In our own democracy much tune IS IS spent in argument and namecaing. Much attention is given to politics. Precious days consumed by orderly procedure.
 But that is the price democracy pays for freedom And when that democracy functoning it's best wisdom for emergencies deals with troubles before they become crises It is not dramatic performance dc- tatorial reform" but it is infinitely preferable
 Times of crisis like this arise because preparations are neglected But the neglect be remeded by democratic reans only the people helpfuy, patiently unater ably insstent.

WASHINGTON Oct 2-(NEA)-Now is the time when only the low-grade, run -ofthe mine news papermen are left in Washington.
 All the experts and hot-shots are out touring the country They're feeling the public pulse, holding both ears to the ground at at time to hear the heart of democracy sticking moistened fingers into the political winds to which way they blow strap ping le-detectors to the hairy chests of taxi drivers and the bllowing boSoms of taxi dancers to learn how that mythical American-the average citizen will vote in November.
 It could be- however that the outcome of the election was decided right here in Washington while the political journalists were away from home on the roam. For if Uncle Harry and the Democratic administration bosses thought they taking meat of the Congressional campaign by decontroling it. they're learning better now.
 Lifting meat controls won't produce enough more before election day Saying that other deconro will be speeded up is easier said than done, and hardly be done before election day.
 Still under control are fourth of the food prod ucs, half of the nonfood items Iron and steel other raw materials building materials, autos, house. hold goods clothing and rents remain under control and will probably stay that way long supply is less than demand
 But the pressure to get all these controls off is tremendous, and the Republicans are making the most of it. They aren't going to let the decontrol issue die.
 You made mistake by keeping meat controls on as long as you did, and you admit it," they can yell at the Democrats in evidence that all within the administration is confusion.
 This bull over the situation has caused Republican bosses in Washington to raise their sights and aim at targets they never hoped to reach 8 month ago. Then they were hoping to carry the House by only slim margin. The less said about their chances in the Senate the better

a Balkan country. And Americans of the Wallace school of opinion, holding with MT. Wallace that the United States has mo more busi- ness in the political affairs of East ern Europe than Russia has in the political affairs of Latin America, Western Europe and the United States" will say, Quite right What are we doing, anyway, meddling in the Balkans? Why are we needing Russia again in sphere of proper Russian interest? Why can't we get along with the Russians as well as we used to do when MT. Roosevelt was President?"
 So let us turn back, for MT. Roosevelt'S own answers to these questions, to MT. Roosevelt coming home from Yalta, and addressing a joint session of Congress, and eX- blaming the agreements which he had reached there with the Rus sians, and going on to explain why the United States claimed an in- terest in a faraway place like Bull garia and what that interest was.
 Said MT. Roosevelt to Congress, speaking of Yalta and Bulgaria and the other Eastern European coun- tries in whose political affairs" MT. Wallace now thinks we have no proper business:
 "The three most powerful nations (Russia, U. s. A., Britain) have agreed that the political and econ- omic problems of any area liber- ated from Nazi conquest, or any former Axis satellite, are a point re- sponsibility of all three Govern ments. They will endevaor to see to it that interim governing and the people who carry on the interim Government between occu- patton by Germany and true inde- pendence that such an interim Government will be as representa- tive as possible of all democrtaic elements in the population, and that free elections are held as soon as possible thereafter ReSponSi- bility for political conditions thou sands of miles away can no longer be avoided, I think, by this great nation. The world is smaller smaller every year. The United States now exert tremendous influence in the cause of peace We will continue to exert that in- fluence only if we are willing to continue to share in the responsi- bility for keeping the peace. Il would be our own tragic loss if we were to shirk that responsibility These are the policies which Sec retary Byrnes is following. Those who do not think he is acting in the Roosevelt tradition must eat the words not only of the Atlantic Charter but of MT. Roosevelt's own messages to Congress.

FARM DINNER BELLS
(New York TimeS)

(NeW 4OTK 1IueSJ
 There are not many of them now, but a generation ago the old dinner bell on the farm was an im- portant affair. Sometimes the bell was on a red cedar post by the ell door, it's iron frame fitting onto the top of the pole and the short rope hanging above the reach of young boys and girls. Sometimes the bell was fastened to the top of the springhouse or the limb of a big maple in the yard Or perhaps it hung from a cross timber of the porch. Some farms had big hand bells that sat on the end of the oil cloth-covered shelf above the sink, beside the kerosene lamps.
 If by chance a new bell was needed 1t was 8 matter for careful decision. The mail order catalogues s descriptions were explicit. Around the red and white checked kitchen table the family discussed it. Should 1t be the "big 83-cent farm bell, large and handsome, of crystalline metal?" It weighed 37 1-2 pounds and was full-bronzed. As the cata- logue said, At our extremely low price, but a shade above the actual value of the raw material, there is no reason why any farm should be without one of our large farm bells !" Or would it be better to spend $235 for a 100-pound bell on frame that could sit on the woodshed roof? This bell was well finished, extra fine tone, can be heard far ther than any copper or tin bell of five times the cost, and far more durable"
 At noon the clear calls of the bells foated across fields and pas lures, and over the countryside men and boys headed homeward for the midday meal. Each farm bell had its own distinctive tone. When 8 bell rang it's measured toll at eleven or eleven thirty men looked up and said, Guess Joe and his wife are going to eat early and go to town" There was the occasional tragic time when a bell rang fran tically and neighbors rushed to a farm home to offer succor in an emergency. Only few bells are left on farms, but men and women who live in cities and listen to chimes strike the hours remember the days when the bells along valley and hill roads rang out the time at high twelve of day.

by Peter EdSo1,

Carroll Reece is marking at least 10-posGbly 13- states for COP senatorial victories Massachusetts New York Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio Missouri Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are his sure bets. Rhode Island, Nevada and West Virginia he considers less sure, but hopeful.
 Indiana Congressman Charlie Halleck chairman of the COP. congressional campaign Committee would add New Mexico and Utah to the list, with the Republicans sure to hold California and Wiscon- sin They need nine seats to win control of the Sen. ate.
 Reece Halleck and Ohio Congressman Clarence Brown at COP headquarters are now all saying that the Republicans will pick up close to 50 seats in the House, to win good, safe working majority control there.
 If the Republicans do come through winners in this election it will be largely because the Democrats have done everything they possibly could to defeat themselves. Their combination of errors since the campaign got hot has been utterly fantastic.
 By comparison, all the Republicans have to be sorry for are Senator Robert A. Tafts outcry against the Naz criminal trials and Chairman Reece's statement that he would cut two million employees off the federal payroll, when there only 300 900 on it and it takes 490,000 just to carry the mails
 As for constructive Republican platform, it simply doesn't exist Charlie Halleck is terribly proud o4 tue OldteAenI Ol FruclpIeS Wn1cn 8 cOnmltCee of COP. Congressmen drafted year ago. But it is all written in gterng generalities trying to be all things to all people.
 Maybe the strongest asset the Republicans have is that they have program Harding and Coolidge Mckinley and Taft before them rode to power and saw the country through periods of boom on com plete lack of program. The country may be in for another cycle of that
