Truck Owners Oppose
D. {. Move 10 Require
Mechanical Signals

District truck owners today op-
posed at a public hearing a pro-
posed change in traffic regulations
requiring mechanical turning sig
nals on trucks.
The plan would make the sig
nails mandatory when the extreme
outside part of the truck or its
load is more than two feet from
the center of the steering wheel.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission does not require these
signals, Attorney Daniel B. Maher.
representing the Kane Transfer
Co., told the Commissioners at
the District Building. He asked
them to defer action until they
could get the views of defense Of
fcials on whether materials used
In the mechanical signals are
needed for defense purposes.
Third Already Equipped.
The ICC now is investigating
mechanical turn signals, he said.
If the ICC should forbid them on
trucks and the District should
order them on, truck drivers in
the District would be violating the
law every time their trucks went
out of the District, he added.
Mr.. Maher said that of the 20,-
600 trucks now in use in the Dis
trict, about one-third of them now
are equipped with these signals.
OF the more than $4,000 accidents
last year only 81 of them were
caused by failure to give proper
signals, he said.
Francis j. Kane, owner of the
Kane company, told the Commits
sioners he operated about $50
trucks, and said that his expe-
rience was that the turning lights
only lasted about three days be-
fore they are put out Of commits
sion by drivers backing into plat
forms, He said it would cost
about $4,000 to equip his trucks,
but if they saved one human life
it would be a cheap investment.
Truck Association Represented.
Also appearing in opposition to
the plan were Harry L. Grubbs. jr.,
representing the trucking associa-
ton, and D. C.. Bowie of the Bowie
Trucking Co.
Traffic Director George E
Keneipp explained the proposed
change at the opening of the
meeting! Bernard M. Levy, chair
man of the Traffic Safety Com
mittee of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, recommended the
proposal.

Rep. Brehm Impassiye
As Trial on Kickback
Charges Nears Jury

The case of Representative
Walter E. Brehm, Republican, of
Ohio, this afternoon approached
submission to a jury of 10 men
and two women in District Court.
Representative Brehm is charged
with Illegally accepting campaign
contributions from two women
employees in his Office at the Cap
itol. The women, Mrs. Clara Soli-
day and Mrs. Emma Craven,
testified for the prosecution. The
seven-count indictment, six counts
of which will be submitted to the
jury, charge him with accepting
a total of $1,280 in violation of
a seldom invoked section of the
Corrupt Practices Act.
Wife in First Row.
The. Congressman, 6-foot
200-pound dentist from Logan,
Ohio. sat impassively as attorneys
for the prosecution made their
final arguments. His wife sat in
the first row. In his summation,
Leo A. Rover, defense counsel,
made much of Columnist Drew
Pearson's connection with the
case. Charges that Mr.. Brehm
had accepted "kickbacks" from
employees first appeared in the
Pearson column.
Mr.. Rover also emphasized that
the charges were made in politi-
cal campaign by Mr.. Brehm's 1850
opponent, Mel Underwood.
The defense attorney termed
the charges the products of a
undertaking columnist and a
Ipusillanimous politician" He
added:
I'VE must keep our courts clean
from the work of shopping COL
umniSts and disappointed poll
ticianS."
Refers to Threat.
Mr.. Rover referred especially
to Mr.. Brehm's testimony that one
OF Mr.. Pearson's reporters, Tom
Mcnamara, had tried to get the
Congressman to reveal to him
what had happened in a closed
session of the House Labor Com
mittee, and that the Representa-
tive had refused.
He reminded jurors that ac-
cording to the testimony, Mr.. Nc
Namara had said:
"It would have been better for
you if you had"
The Governments rebuttal was
made by Assistant United States
Attorney Ray Baker.

|Geophysicists Hear
OF Plans for 1878
Polar Year Projects

Proposals for a third interna-
tional polar year. a cooperative
enterprise of many countries for
expeditions and research stations
in the far north, are being con-
sidered by the American Geo.
physical Union, which opened it's
annual meeting here today.
It would extend through 1878.
The last polar year was in 1928
and coordination of some of the
results still is in progress. The
first polar year was more than rs
years ago and was characterized
by the Inflated Greely expedition
which came to grief near the
! north magnetic pole.
/ Magnetic Storms to Be Studied.
/ Since the last polar year, in
which more than a dozen nations
accepted specific assignments for
study Of Arctic phenomena, many
new interests have arisen. Most
important of these have been out
lined by the international Com
mission on the IonoSphere, which

spheric storms, the structure OF
the aurora borealis and the struc-

the world"-the layer from which
radio waves bounce back to earth
and which makes radio broad
casting possible. It was hardly
recognized during the last polar
year, and the reasons for it's ex-
istence still are only vaguely
understood. There is reason te
believe that it varies considerably

REPUBLICANS WOULD GET ACAESON"
 WASHINGTON (AP) -


 sharply split party meeting, a majority o1 House hepu0I4cans present agreed touay to support a plan almed at striking oecre- tary of state Acneson off the Federal payroll.
 The declSIon to pursue the "get Acheson' drive through the medium o1 the State Department appropriation bill was taken by a standing vote of Fl to 33.
 More than JO Republicans either did not attend or refrain ed from voting.
 The majority approved mo- ton to support an amendment to the Dta.~ Department money bill.
 Party leaders said the amend mcnt, still to be oraItcd, would not designate Achcson by name but would specify that no Ed cral pay could go to any policy making department head who, at any time during the five years prec- aIng appointment, belong ed to a business or law firm that represented foreign govern ment.
 Achcson's law firm once rep resented Poland.
 The oeels4on of the COP con ference is not binding on the members. Individuals still can vote the way they feel.
 But refusal of so many of them to support the amendment made it doubtful that the get Acheson' drive would succeed unless it gained heavy Demo cratic support.
 Democratic leaders were con fident they could beat il.

The C.adGs RosRsr
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

The new nurses home, for which the ground was broken yesterday will be the most mod ern building in Seward, and the most beautiful on the Pen inSula As Mrs. Stewart said. nothing is too much trouble to make life little pleasanter for the nurses. Goodness knows, they have put up with disgrace ful h ou i n g. conditions ever since the fire.
 Nurses are probably the poor est paid professional workers in the country today-and in many minds, their work is the most distasteful. Their work is not only physical but mental and emotional, so that they deserve the very best of homslike sur roundings in which to relax.
 Were it not for the interest and activity of the Womsn's Division of Christian Service of the Methodist Church, Seward would have waited for another year at least for such a home as is now under construction. Application has been made to Alaska Public Works for pre-, liminary planning on the hospi- tai. These negotiations take long months of work end waiting. In the meantime the turnover of nursing personnel is terrific. Women from h 0 pi als and schools in the States. coming in- to Alaska for the first time, find it difficult to accept the poor housing conditions offer d them here, for lack of facilities.
 The new home will house nur- ses from the SanatOrium as we'll as Seward General Hospital. They will have the opportunity to enjoy local social activities and a complete change of sur roundines by living h. town.
 The Methodist Church is to be congratulated upon the con struction program they have undertaken III Seward.
