GIVES ADVICE
Binding an 0ncoming Driver
With Your Headlights

DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS

Don't dazzle 'em = Dim 'em!"
Motorists are thus urged to use
their DINNERS for safety's sake on
the highways and on city streets,
in traffic safety program of the
Delaware Safety Council Blind
ing an oncoming driver with your
headlights is one of the most fool
ish and unnecessary things a mo-
torist can do" Mr.. w. w. Harris,
Vice President of Public Safety, of
the Delaware Safety Council said.
"You are threatening your own
life when you fail to lower your
headlights for an approaching car.
Only a few seconds of lights blind
ness can result in tragedy. TITS
not only good manners to dim your
lights when meeting another car.
It's often matter of self-preserva-
tion. And it's safer and more
courteous, too, to use the lower
beam when overtaking cars. Lights
glaring into a drivers eyes from
the rear-view mirror can dazzle al
most as readily as when they are
head-on." Here are some point
ers Mr.. Harris gave for safer use
of headlights and DINNERS:
1. Dim lights well ahead when
meeting a car on level road.
2. Dim before a car coming over
a rise or around a bend in the
road catches the full force of your
bright lights.
8. Dim when overtaking to avoid
binding the driver through the re-
Election in his rear-view mirror.
4. Use city beam (dimmers on
heavily travelled two-lane highways
and in lighted areas of settled COM
nunities.
5. Check the level and aim of
your headlights frequently and see
that they are correctly beamed at
all times.

Our Christmas Date

The first celebration Of the birth
Of Christ on December Is took place
in the fourth century. Before that
date the commemoration Of Christs
Nativity and Baptism was held on
January 8.
The first mention Of Christmas is
found in a Roman document known
as the "Philocalian Calendar" in
the year 1854, and the first time the
festival was celebrated In Britain
was in 500. when st. Augustine bap-
tized 10. 600 converts.
In the year 567 the Council Of
Tours declared a twelve-day festival
from Christmas TO Epiphany, and
In 991-1016 the laws ordained that
all strife should cease at Christmas.

Britain's attorney general said last

United Nations has been more dis
'couraging than the last"
1T is black picture" Sir Hart
ley Shawcross, a British delegate to
the U. NJ, said in a speech at a
public meeting on foreign affairs.
L will not be a party to deceiving
the public by pretending that in its
main function of acting as a center
for harmonizing differences, the
United Nations is a going concern,
or one in which useful business Is
being transacted.
Il must say quite frankly that
the work of the Assembly and of
the Security Council has been most
disappointing up to now"
Sir Hartley expressed the convic-
tion, however, that while conflict
ing interests and clashing ideologies'
divide the world it is all the more
important to maintain U. N. as the
one organization-faulty or weak
though it may be-in which in time
the two worlds can learn to live

7 Killed as BIS Dives
Into Pasture, ExpIodes
By me Assesiatsd Press

SHREVEPORT, La, Dec. 49,
Seven men were killed yesterday
when . B-25 bomber nosedived into
a pasture rs miles southeast of here
and exploded.
Witnesses said the explosion
hurled wreckage over q four acre
area and dug a crater "as big as a
car"
The public information Office at
Barksdale Air Force Base said the
plane was en- route from Biggs Air
Force Base, El Paso, Tex, to Miami,
Fla. Five airmen and two Navy
|hitchhikers were aboard.
Names of the victims will be re-
leased when the next of kin have
been notified.
Some of the military personnel
were on leave. Shattered Christmas
gifts were found at the scene.
Two eyewitnesses said the plane
streaked to the ground 300 yards
from a dirt road about four miles
from Robeline, La.
Curtis Wilson of Robeline said
the bomber spouted fire before the
explosion. He added he was certain
the explosion came before the craft
hit the ground.

said:
The plane seemed to be. coasting
at 300 feet when the pilot suddenly
raced the motors. The plane i'm

sion's report, it is hoped. will shake
out Of their lethargy those who are
responsible.
Members Of the committee head
ed by Ferdinand Eberstadt brought
out many other things, including
our serious lag In overall intelli-
gence.
In the popular sense intellieence
means spying. Other nations, much
more experienced than we, have
always placed a good deal of im-
portance on the collection of secret
information about what goes on
throughout the world.
Vital in Defense Planning.
No defense-or for that matter
aggression-can be planned without
an adequate intelligence service.
British espionage was organized as
much as 800 years ago. and the
French service is just about as old.
Men of real ability were placed at
their heads, and their stats, except
for the specialists-the actual spies
were men drawn from all walks of
Ilife-bankers, industrialists, teach
ers, actors, etc.
Information gathered by these
men in their particular pursuits
abroad was channeled to a central
agency In London lMI-5) or in
Paris (the Deuxieme BureaU and
distributed carefully to the various
interested government departments.
Since World War II intelligence
has come to embrace almost every
phase of human activity. In fact,
actual espionage on types of weap-
ons and manpower of a potential
enemy Is far less important than
the scientific. industrial, psychologist
cal and social information which
must be gathered from countries all
over the world.
In the past we have been sadly
negligent in this type of defense
preparation. During World Wars I
and II we spent money like drunken
sailors in creating temporary or
ganizations. The persons who served
In our naval, military and lately air

the Ambassador stated that Ger
many reserved complete liberty Of
action to take such measures as it
might f1nd necessary in case activi-
ties of the Government Of the
United States should lead Brazil to
limit its trade with Germany"
Ambassador Quoted.
The memo quoted the Ambassa-
dor as having told Mr.. Welles that
the German government was
heartily in accord" with the
United States position on trade
agreements.
The Ambassador added that "the
archaic policies now pursued by
Germany were intended only to
obtain for German exports the same
advantages which had accrued to
the exports of the United States
and of other great commercial ma
tions through the devaluation of
their currencies."
Defending United States prin-
ciples On trade agreement and de-
claring this country sought no un-
fair advantage over any country. the
welcomes the Ger
man governments repeated express
sion Of approval" but felt that Ger
tain aspects of current German
policy would appear to
make more difficult the application
of those principles rather than to
advance them"
The memorandum held that the
German policy takes the deter
mination of trade movement out Of
the ordinary competitive circum-
stance and places it in the hands
of German officials whose calcula-
tions need not correspond to those
of competitive cost"
1t concluded: Against the pos
sibility of competition open to such
direction, it would seem plain that
competition of private business, de-
pendent solely on itself, needs safe
guarding"

included a report from Ambassador

packages, mostly of sugar, were
