The general cannot be classed
as conservative just because he
fears statism nor a radical because,
he puts service above material,
gain. He isn't too much Interested
in how he is classed for he really
isn't running for office-he is just;
trying to serve. If this some day
leads him to the Presidency, it will
not be because of some artificially
contrived policy on his part, either
subtle or deliberate, but only be-
cause the people as a whole could
demand that either the Demo-
cratic or the Republican Party
make use of his intellectual
honesty and unique qualities of

D.C.Stepping Up Fight
Ito Solve Problems Of
Growing Traffic Load
By George {. Keneipp

Director of Vehicles and Traffic.
In every major American city
today, the problem of traffic is
swiftly edging its way up the
scale OF municipal headaches
Whether it reaches migrane pro-
portions is pretty much dependent
upon the intelligence of the
diagnosis and the effectiveness OF
the remedies prescribed.
The Department of Vehicles and
Traffic is concerned, generally
speaking. with two segments OF
the traffic sphere-the expeditions
movement Of traffic and the weed
I ing out of reckless and inoompe-
tent drivers and unsafe vehicles
How d. C. Is Attacking Problems
The "hot" problem of movine
traffic efficiently and at the same
time rapidly, falls within the
province of the Departments traf-
f1c engineering division.
In this connection, it is we'll to
observe the plan Of attack. Real
effort has been made to keep the
program flexible and long-range
in character. Surveys, studies, in
vestigations and manual traffic
counts, which were at one time
special occasion" projects, are
now continuous in nature. They
permit far better timing of sig
nails for the progressive movement
OF traffic and many other i'm
provements in the various en-
gineering aids designed to facili-
tate traffic flow.
The Sign program"-a five
year plan to modernize and stand
>ardize the Districts traffic signs
has completed its first year on
schedule and Is advancing "on
time" in its second year.
Plans to modernize the traffic
signal system began with the re-

cent building and installation Of a
master controller IN the Depart
ment's offices in the Municipal
Center Building.
At more than a dozen intersec-
tions, signals have been arranged
to flash red or amber after l am.
Trouble Spots.
Plans for redeslgn or channel
ization of trouble spots are pre-
pared by the division and for
Warded to the Highway Depart
ment to reduce the number of
hazardous locations in the city.
The number of parking meters
installed in the District to secure
greater turnover of parking space
now totals approximately 3,100.
Since 10 per cent of the Dis
trict's traffic fatalities are pedes-
trians, engineering aids for Pc
destrian control are given careful
attention. Miles of pavement
markings for pedestrians as we'll
as vehicles are painted each year.
Pedestrian barricades are erect
ed at particularly hazardous loca- =
tions. Supplemental traffic signal
faces" to aid motorists and walk
ers alike are installed where visi-
bility is poor. wait for Light
signs are imbedded in the pave
ment and Walk" and Don't
Walk" neon light signals guide
pedestrians at many intersections.
Working on the premise that a
safe motorist is a well-informed
and skillful motorist, the entire
drivers examination recently was
revised. A new written examina- =
tion prepared with the assistance
of the District of Columbia Med
ical Society's Traffic Committee
and new road test scoring form
are now in use. Visual require
ments also have changed with the
adoption of a new "eye test"
Through the suspension and re-
vocation OF operators permits,
drivers who have demonstrated
their inability to observe the law
are removed from the streets daily.
In like manner, a system Of COM
pulsory vehicle inspection rules

condition might lead to accident.

Radiator Scale

Whether or not the cooling sys-
tenn is loaded with scale can be
determined by draining of the
radiator and motor block and car
heater thoroughly and refilline
with a measured amount OF water
This should be checked against
the capacity of the cooling sys-
tenn, plus about a quart OF water
for the heater system.
In making this check be very
careful to warm up the engine Sc
that the thermostat opens, other
wise the system cannot be fully
filled. Any difference In the
quantity Of water used for the test
and the capacity of the system
originally will represent the guam
tity Of scale and sediment in the
radiator and particularly in the
bottom OF the motor block.

Auto Innovations Aim at HeIpinq
Joded Appetites to New Thrills

How much fun do you get out
of motoring?
There was a time when such
a query would be classed with
grade A foolish questions, but
taxation, high operating costs,
accidents, congestion and the
problem of repairs have done
something to car ownership. To-
day few derive any pleasure from
service work on their cars: few
find a spin in the car the delight
it used to be. What's wrong?
Can any new motoring pleasures
be found to compensate for those
that have been lost in the limbo
of yesteryear?
Many people in the automobile
industry would like to know. Not
a few safety experts feel that a
change of attitude would go a
long way toward cutting down
fatalities and accidents.
You may imagine that Detroit is
concerned only with the imme-
diate dollar from your purchase
of a new car, but behind the scene
in the motor capital there's activ-
ity designed to whet the appetite
for personal transportation. Some
of this has already come to light
in the form of special body types
such as the hard top model that
opens up like a convertible, the
all-steel station wagon, the sports
man version of the jeep and the
new convertible which have hand
operated tops and windows that
are virtually glorif1ed rain cur
tains.
Detroit is busy with mechanical
innovations to help jaded appe-
tites find new thrills in getting
behind the wheel. This doesn't
mean that anything new has to be
created. The biggest thrill buyers
OF the two current years cars are

getting was based on nothing more
unusual than good slug of added
power. Drivers always have found
pleasure in being able to step on
it, even if they had no real need
for what the motor provided in
the way of power output.
If your motoring no longer is
a pleasure, motor men suggest
that you analyZe your particular
case. Possibly it is the dread of
traffic and the WEAKNESS of con-
slant gear shifting and pumping
the clutch pedal. In that event.
any of the new systems for auto
matte shifting would wipe out this
objection. leaving you a new basis
for enjoyment.
While there is ample evidence
that this country could do with
fewer gadgets, oddly enough it is
the automotive gadget market
that has since the earliest days
played so vital role in keeping
the automODlle pleaSurable.
Many drivers find consolation in
those little feelers which, attached
to the right tenders. prevent park
ing too close to the curb. Simplest
Of the anti-glare rear-vieW mirror
shields seem to strike a responsive
chord. We can expect great
changes along the lines of equip
ment in the next few years.
Driving need not be a chore
even if it is part of ones liveli-
hood. One salesman finds a spe-
cial pleasure in pursuing a hobby
which necessitates his stopping
off at antique shops while on his
weekly touring route. Another is
interested in historical landmarks.
Traffic drivers seem to have less
opportunity for sportsmanship at
the wheel, but a spirit of compe-
tition in driving skill is quite an
effective incentive.

School Safety Patrol Cuts Child Traffic Deaths
BY Washington |. Cleveland

American Automobile Association
School Safety Patrol units func-
tioning in each of the elementary
schools of the Greater Washing
ton area have proven highly sue
cessful in reducing traffic acci-
dents among school children.
The first School Safety Patrol
unit in the City of Washington
was organized in 1924. Today
there are about 1000 school chill
dren serving as patrolmen in over
500 public and parochial ele-
mentary schools in Washington
and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
A comparison between the child
traffic fatality statistics OF Is
years ago and today is most re-
vealing. In 1925 there were 10
school children killed in traffic,
as against three in 1949. This re-
markable reduction in child traffic
fatalities has been brought about
by a cooperative effort on the
part of the schools, the police and
the American Automobile Associa-
ton working with the school chill
dren.
Through it's District division,
the AAA has assisted in the or
ganization of School Safety Patrol
units, has provided, at no expense
to the schools, the belts and
badges which are worn by the pa
trolmen and has organized. with
the cooperation of the schools
and police, an annual School
Safety Patrol officers Training
Camp, where the boy officers re-
ceive a week of intensive training
as well as an ideal vacation at the
end of summer, shortly before
school starts.
20,640 in Parade.
Every spring the AAA sponsors
q national assembly and parade
for these sentinels of safety. Last
May, 20,640 youngsters from IL
States and the District Of Colum-
bia gathered in the Nations Capt.
tai and marched down Constitu-
tion avenue in procession which
required three hours to pass the
reviewing stand.
Numerous special features and
entertainment are arranged for
the patrols. For example, the
Washington Baseball Club has in
vited the school safety patrols to
see q major league ball game as
guests of the club.
Saving lives and preventing
traffic accidents is the major
function of this organized youth
group which now number more
than 100000 members from coast
to coast. How well their work has
been performed is attested to by
the records which show, for ex-
ample, that In the District not
one child was killed in a traffic
accident at a patroled intersection.
Nearly every school now reports
no children involved in q traffic
accident en- route to or from
school.
During 1948 only one child was
killed and only three injured from
8 am. to pm. None of these
accidents occurred at a patroled
intersection.
Another and an important as
pect of this program Is the value
of the training and service which
accrues to the children themselves.
For many of these youngsters this
is the first time they have as
sumed position of responsibility
and leadership. Competing for a
position on the patrol and living
up to the requirements of neat
ness, punctuality, leadership and
responsibility are valuable stimu-
lants in character building and
good citizenship training.

Tips to Remember

That radial run-out of q front
tire (sufficient to cause a bad
shimmy) may be the result OF a
bad case Of skidding.
If the pointer of the ammeter
takes to Pickering because of the
pulsating action of the voltage
regulator, it may indicate nothing
more than the fact that the bat
terry is approaching full charge.
That uneven wear on the rear
tire may be due to poor traction
which, in turn, is the result OF
overinfiation.

Mechanic Joe Suys-

"A lot of trouble would be saved
in the servicing of cars If buyers
of new models would check with
the factory to find out what kind
Of fluid has been used for the
brakes. This also goes for the
shock absorbers. too.
Unless the fluids are typed
there is always a good chance of
mechanics running into poor
mixes. Hypoid rear ends also have
special extreme pressure lubes
which should never be mixed be-
cause different kinds Of bases are
used"

Tips to Remember

If = clutch is not put back in
original balance with the hywheel
there will be disturbing shaking OF
the engine, clutch and transmits
sion at certain speeds.
You'd never guess it, but if the
battery terminals are badly cor
roded there's a good chance that
the headlights will burn out.
A lot of otherwise good spark
plugs are discarded because own
ers believe plugs of different
heat type are needed, when the
trouble is simply fouling from a
too-rich mixture.
