THE demand for Goodyear open
i center tread tractor tires is far
greater today than ever before. A recent
coast-to-coast farm survey shows they are
Americas first choice-by a rapidly grosv-
ing margin.
The simple reason is-farm experience
confirms that Goodyear has told the truth
about traction; that Coodyear's exclusive
open center SURE-CRP tread, with
its evenly balanced, deep-biting, gear-type
Tugs, gives the steadiest, strongest pull
ever built into a farm tractor tire.
Newest proof of that is the performance

Too Much 'Buzzinq'

Whether or not official investigations
hst the tragic air collision in New Jersey
as due to reckless flying, a thorough in
quiry should be made into reports that
more than one naval plane "buzzed" COM
mercial airliners just before the fatal ac-
eident These reports came from pilots
OF airliners following the general route
which the Eastern Airlines DC-3 was flying
when a Navy fighter plane collided with
1t, bringing death to sixteen persons.
If the accounts of the airline pilots and
Of a private flyer are substantiated by the
Civil Aeronautics Board and Navy in
quiries, it is evident that more than one
naval flyer was violating not only the
rules of the air but of common sense. The
Navy and the Air Force have strict regu-
lations against "buzzing" and stunting-
especially in the vicinity Of airliners. The
services frightened up on enforcement Of
these regulations after an Army Air Force
bomber, while making a friendly" pass
at an American Arlines plane near Palm
Springs, California, in 1912, clipped of the
tail Of the airliner and sent twelve per-
sons 70 their deaths. The Navy forbids
tts flyers from approaching closer than 9

keep the United States eminent in the
field In short, If there must be a nuclear
ornaments race, we are going to try to
keep anybody from catching up with us,
on the assumption that If we retain over
whelming superiority, the, Soviet Union
will hesitate to strike out against us and
the rest of the free world.
OF course, since a race of this sort has
in it the seeds of possible global catas-
trophe, there is no great pleasure to be
found in the fact that we appear to be
maintaining a substantial lead Neverthe-
less, as long as the world is split into two
hostile camps, our long term safety will
be largely dependent on that lead, and
there is therefore some comfort to be de-
rived from Aces assurances. At any rate,
If we remain we'll out in front, we may at
least hope that Russia will eventually de-

other erratic flying in the vicinity of such
planes. Violation subjects the offender to
grounding, loss of his wings or worse, de-
pending on the magnitude of the offense.
There are times when all the regulations
that officials can think up will not prevent
recklessness of the type alleged to have
occurred over New Jersey last Saturday.
Washington and vicinity have been treated
to too much buzzing this summer. For
tunately, serious accidents from reckless

injuries from reckless driving (not includ-
ing speeding and other causes) last year
will attest.
