Gen. Snow pointed out that the
Presidents loyalty program ante
dates McCarthyism by two full
years and that, even before that,
the State Department had estab-
lished a program for summary
dismissal Of security risks"
Under the present procedure. he
said, an employe accused of dis
loyalty must prove his innocence
beyond a reasonable doubt-the
very antithesis" of the common
law standard of giving the &C
cused the benefit of the doubt.
He defended the stiffness" of
this standard by saying ''it is not
guilt that is being adjudicated,
but merely a privilege of employ
ment by the Government" But
he emphasized that "the odds are

Venetian Women Wore
12-lnch Platform Shoes

VENICE.-Venetian women of
the 18th Century made a great
thing out of the platform shoe.
It was necessary in those days to
keep their feet dry while walking
across muddy streets.
But the women went further
and began to vie with each, other
to see who could have the highest
platforms.
Eventually they were staggering
about on shoes that kept them
more than 10 inches off the

counts, the wearer had to be sup

Johnstone Defends
Traffic Arrest Spurt
In Arlington County

Nearly three times as many
motorists were arrested in Ar
|lington last month as in April,
the month before Carlisle john
stone became director of the De-
partment Of Public Safety.
Mr.. Johnstone said yesterday
there were 588 traffic arrests in
April and 1,540 in September.
Meanwhile, criminal arrests de-
clined from 295 to 233.
The increase in the number Of
arrests since Mr.. Johnstone took
office has been cited by County
Board Member Daniel A. Dugan
as one Of the reasons why the di-
rector should be removed from
office. Mr.. Dugan said Saturday
ne will urge Mr.. Johnstone's dis
missal at the boards meeting to-
morrow.
Many in School Zones.
Many of the September ar
rests" Mr.. Johnstone said yes-
terday, were for speed violations
IN school zones" He said that
25O,O0O vehicles travel Arlington
roads every day, and he believes
the percentage of arrests is not
unusually high when compared
with this figure.
Figures for the past six months
on traffic arrests are: April. 588.
May. 906; June, 1887; July, 857:
August, 1,03s, and September.
1910.
Mr.. Johnstone cited these rea-
sons for the rise:
He takes the view that traffic
enforcement is serious business.
"a hours a day and 365 days a
year" He is convinced that a
strong. consistent enforcement
policy will in time reduce the
traffic accident rate.
Part of the increase is a result
OF rise in the number of vehicles
on county roads, as the popula-
ton has risen. There has been
"a steady increase in the number
OF traffic arrests for more than
10 years.
Police in Unmarked Car.
About 80 arrests a week in Sep
temoer were made for violations in
school zones. Many of these ar
rests were made by policemen in
an unmarked car. The purpose
OF putting the unmarked car into
operation on September /, Mr.
Johnstone said. was mot to sneak
up on motorists but to keep peo-
pie on the alert"
About the time Mr.. Johnstone
took over his duties, the number
OF policemen in scout cars during
daylight was reduced from two
10 one. This means that now there
are 10 or II cars on the road
curing the day, compared with
from four to six last winter.
Five department motorcycles
nave been equipped with radios,
thus increasing the efficiency of
these vehicles.
opening of Shirley highway to
truck traffic has required in
creased patroling there, Mr.. john
stone said.

presented to a Senate subcommit-
tee by Senator Mccarthy. Gen.

Iployed in the State Department in

Asserting that Senator Nc
Carthy supplied no new informa-

"All he had was allegations,
blown up and colored by his own
imagination, which were contained
in the loyalty files themselves and
which had been made available by

clamor about Communists in the

lof disloyalty which Senator Nc
Carthy has contributed for the
assistance Of the Loyalty Security
Board in its continuing and con-
tinuous effort to pass on all allie
cations Of disloyalty.

Making new seeded on an old
sod can be satisfactorily done with
disc harrow or field cultivator,
the agronomists say. The operation
can be eased considerably by work.
ing the soil in one direction and then
working it crosswise.
Timothy and smooth bronze grass
are excellent for supplementing blue
grass. How much these grasses in
crease pasture output depends on
the legumes used in the mixture and
the amount and analysis of ferti-
lizer. The agronomists say that a
good seed mixture should contain
two pounds of red clover, three
pounds of broadleaf trefoil and a
quarter pound of Ladino clover.
The Purdue agronomists stress
that good application of CONNER
cial fertilizer is essential in pasture
renovation. They recommend using
400 pounds per acre of 0-20-10 or
0-20-0 fertilizer at seeding time. The
phosphate and potash fertilizer
helps get the new seeding off to a
good start, and supplies the nutri-
ents the legumeS need most.
