By the Associoted Press

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa, Sept. O.
Flaming gasoline from an exploding
fuel tank on a huge power shovel
severely burned II miners at a coal
stripping operation near here yes
terday.
All of the injured were reported
in serious condition 20 Adrian Hos
pital. All available nurses and
physicians were called for emergency
duty. The miners, suffering from
shock, were given blood plasma and
burn salves were rushed from Pitts
burgh and nearby communities.
The power shovel apparently
caught fire from a short circuit in
it's electrical system. AS flames en-
quilted the machine, workmeE rushed
to put out the blaze.
Then the flames ignited a gaso-
line tank, which exploded with a
roar heard for miles. A cloud of
flame filled smoke burst from the
coal pit and caught most of the
miners unaware.

The Political Mill
Bv Gould Lincoln

President Truman'S proposal to Con-
gress that the United States give such
aid to Greece and Turkey as may be
necessary to keep them from Com
munist domination does not divide
the world into two camps. 1t mere
ly emphasizes the fact that the
world is already divided and that it is
time the Communist party of the
world does something about it.
The warning such q situation was
to arise is nearly two years old. 1t is
q warning that has been repeated
again and again by events and by
the words of statesmen and military
leaders in both camps. The determina-
ton of Communist Russia to spread
its influence and control in both Europe
and Asia has been apparent ever since
the Axis powers were defeated. 1t
unSerIay many brisk fight over the
charter Of the United Nations, and
many fight since then in the agencies
of the U. NJ, particularly the Security
Council and the General Assembly.
It has been demonstrated in the wran-
giles within the meetings of the Council
of Foreign Ministers, the last OF which
Is now proceeding in Moscow.
The effect of President Truman's
blunt statement to the Congress that
the United States must be about the
business Of saving itself as well as other
freedom loving nations from the en-
croachment and final domination Of the
Communists-that is, Soviet Russia
is still in the making. His demands
will be interpreted, in some quarters
as major step toward third world
war. They certainly will be pictured
as far departure by the United States
from its foreign policy of the past,
which was, in fact, admitted by Presi-
dent Truman.
X e..
The only near approach to this pro-
posed new policy was the adoption OF
the lend-lease program, designed to
help the Allied nations against the
Axis while this country was still sup
posedly neutral" In stiu other quar-

Hemisphere and to prevent the foreign
monarchies of those days from moving
in, was enunciated by the United States,
it was the British fleet which, In the
background, made possible the enforce
ment of that doctrine in the early and
weak days Of the American republic.
This Is tough hearing about the
United Nations, which has been pic
trrred as the hope Of ths world. With
Russia, however, as permanent mem
Der Of the Security Council and holding
q veto power against any real action
tho United Nations Council might order.
President Truman confronted situa-
tion, not theory. There will how
ever, be many In this country to demand
that the whole issue of Greece and
Turkey be turned over to the U. N. TO
deal with.
The President faces Congress con-
trolled by the Republican Party, a party
which once was stepped In tsolationism,
q party which voted strongly against
the original lend-1ease bill in 1g41. Here
Is an occasion when political partisan
ship must be laid aside, and Republicans
and Democrats alike act for the United
States a. well - for ths peace Of the

Important as q Principle

There Is little doubt that a great
majority of the people of Wash
ington want daylight saving time
this summer. They should have it.
The bill sponsored by Senator
McGrath of Rhode Island provides
the best method of granting it. BY
delegating to the Commissioners the
power to order daylight saving 1t
accentuates two things: One, in
line with a trend in Congress IN
recent years, Is to grant the Com
missioners defined powers and leave
to them the decision on how 1t Is
to be exercised; the other is to
respect the wishes of the people OF
Washington-for whom the legisla-
ton is intended.
More and more members OF Con-
gress are coming to realize the COM
plete injustice represented in dis
regarding local sentiment-as the
House did recently-in legislating
for the District on the basis of the
prejudices and predictions of
people I'm the States who are not
affected directly by the legislation.
Senator McGrath's personal sug-
gestion that the Commissioners may
already possess the power to order
daylight saving deserves respect,
coming as 1t does from a former
Solicitor General The Senator's
examination of the District Code
has convinced him that delegation
of police powers to the Commis-
sioners by Congress, affecting not
only the safety but the quiet and
comfort" of citizens, Is even broader
than the language contained In
some municipal charters through
out the country-charters under
which municipalities have acted
independently in ordering daylight
saving. 20
In 1918, however, Congress fixed
the five time zones in the United
States and set standard time" as
the time governing movement of
common carriers in interstate
commerce-making standard time
the official time for the country. 1t
Is unlikely that q proclamation by
the Commissioners would supersede
that law, especially in view OF a
controlling decision by the District
Court of Appeals some years ago
which drew the line sharply between
powers of local legislation, reserved
to Congress, and powers OF regula-
ton, delegated to the Commissioners
by specific act.
Senator McGrath Is impelled In
his attempts in behalf Of legislation
by respect for the sentiment OF the
people who live here. It is fine
thing for Washington when men OF
ability make a fight for this prin-
ciple, one which should command
general support in Congress. AS a
principle, 1t is far more important
than the difference between day
light saving and standard time.

Hophuzurd Enforcement

There Is urgent need for the au-
thority asked by the District Com
missioners to require medical tests
in drunken driving cases. Driving
an automobile while intoxicated Is
too serious an offense to be disposed
of by the haphazard type Of police
investigation too often prevailing
in such cases.
A prime example of this loose sort
of investigation was provided in
recent traffic case. Although. the
Government pressed a charge OF
drunken driving against the defend
ant. the only evidence in support
of the charge came from the COM
planning witness. A string OF de-
tense witnesses, on the other hand,
testified that the charge was un-
founded The prosecutor. accusing
the police of dereliction, brought out
that no effort was made to test the
sobriety of the defendant. This de-
fendant was acquitted of the charge.
If scientific test at the time of the
accident had shown that the ac-
cused driver was sober, he would
have been spared the pain of ar
raignment and prosecution to which
he later was subjected.
The question of whether test for
alcoholism should or should not be
given in doubtful cases should not
be left to the discretion of police
man, as is now the practice. A
mandatory examination would
benefit the innocent as we'll as as
sure punishment of the guilty. 1t is
as unfair to charge a person with
intoxication on the basis of an un-
scientific sniff of his breath as it Is
unfair to the community to turn
loose actual offenders for lack of
scientific evidence, acceptable i'll
court. The amendment of the
Traffic Act proposed by the Com
missioners would remedy this un-
desirable situation by requiring
medically approved tests in all sus-
pected cases of drunken driving
This is a reform that would greatly
strengthen the hand of law-enforce-
nent authorities in washington.

tiers it will be charged that the whole
effort is to aid the British Empire.
Mr.. Truman, however, makes the
very emphatic statement that this new
policy Is primarily to protect the United
States-to save it from becoming in
volved In new world war-followtng
a Second World War which cost the
American people in treasure alone more
tnan $341, ,0O0, 900 900. The danger OF
third world war he traces entirely to
the evident drive which the Soviet gov
ernment is making to extend its con-
trols either directly or indirectly,
throughout the world.
Mr.. Truman has handled the pro-
posal for Greek and Turkish aid as an
emergency If he has his way, Congress
will have done something about 1t by
March 81, the date when Britain Is to
withdraw it's economic and other forms
of aid from Greece and Turkey.
The immediate reaction of many
members of Congress was to demand
the fullest and most careful considera-
ton Of the Truman program from all
angles, coupled with a demand for
fuller information than was contained
In his message. Obviously this may
division-not necessarily on political
party lines, however. 1t may mean y
strong demand that the services Of the
United Nations be invoked rather than
have the United States alone undertake
this burden Of keeping Greece and Tur-
key free, and particularly free from
communism.
President Truman said In so many
words that the United Nations is not
yet strong enough, as an organization,
or fast enough, to handle the emergency.
He said, too, or strongly implied 1t, that
the British Empire has been so weak
ened that it cannot longer undertake
to hold the line for the western democ-
racies against the Communist giant. It
will be remembered that, while the

Fare Raise Protested

rare ha1Se ffOteSteQ
To the EDITOR Of The Star:
The attempt Of the Capital Transit
Co. to improve its service by rails
ing fares and suggesting a later hour
for the opening Of schools, borders on
viciousness.
To increase fares will add burdens
to the already dwindling incomes Of
thousands Of poor people. These are
the citizens who must ride the public
carriers and who cannot afford the
luxury of private cars, parking charges
or taxi fares.
burden is the fact that three of the
Negro high schools with heavy enroll
ments are right in the heart of the
city, necessitating travel concentra-
ton *of traffic in the direction that
the Government workers take in morn
ing hours Another reason for I'M
satisfactory traffic conditions is the
unwillingness of either transit company
or the transit union to use capable
colored operators. It Is an insult to
the Negro population, and should be
to all citizens, to have hundreds Of
buses stalled in car barns and yards,
while continuing to advertise for
operators, yet denying colored citizens
of Washington chance to work. Nor
would there be any need to open
schools later if the citizens of the
District of Columbia would Strike
against the biased attitudes OF the
labor union and the company.
All of these problems, based upon
a pattern of Jim-Crow civic and social
attitudes could be solved if the cbl-
lective goodwill in our community were
brought to bear on the union and the
company. AL citizens should resent
to the limit an increase In fares or
change Of school time.

GIobuI Air Safety

Ratification by the United States
of the International Convention on
Civil Aviation, just announced by
the State Department, should pro-
vide much-needed stimulus to
plans for worldwide attack on
the problem of avia ton safety. The
treaty had been pending in the
Senate for nearly two years. Mean
while, many other nations were
withholding action until the United
States had indicated whether it was
to join in the program as full
fedged participant, or merely as a
sideline adviser.
The United States is the twenty
seventh country to agree to share
In the establishment OF the Interna-
tional Civil Aviation Organization.
Since only twenty-six members
were needed to make the program
operative, the way is open for an
immediate start in setting up the
new agency. The 1CAO was born, in
resolution form, at the international
civil aviation meeting in Chicago in
December, 1914, when representa-
tives of f1fty-six nations agreed that
there was urgent need for a world
organization to promote "safe and
orderly" development Of commercial
aviation.
The ICAO will concern itself not
with international political or COM
mercial rivalries in the field of avia-
tion, but with means for standardiz-
ing air-safety regulations, improv-
ing and expanding aids to aerial
navigation, co-ordinating meteor
illogical services, eliminating out
moded flying practices or other haz-
ards and otherwise safeguarding
lives and property on the airways of
the world. 1t has sbig task ahead
of it, the Importance of which has
been accentuated by the recent
series of air disasters in various parts
of the world. The ICAO can do
much to assure the public that every
reasonable measure will be taken to
safeguard the lives Of those who
travel the ever-broadening network
of airways around the earth.
