send more reckless drivers to Jail. II recon-
mended mandatory jail sentences for all reckless
drivers who cause death on the road. The con-
ference deplored the fact that in a majority of
fatal accidents the drivers who ignore or delib-
erately violate the law "go unpunished or are
punished in nominal manner" This leniency
leads to further violations and more accidents
and tragedies
The safety authorities cite Detroits stern at
titude toward reckless drivers, especially drunken
drivers. evidence that jail sentences really save
lives. Just few years ago Detroit was black
spot on the national safety picture. study OF
the situation disclosed that most motorists ar
rested for recklessness or for drunken driving
were being let off on fines and that many defend
ants later became involved in serious crashes. No
new laws were passed. but the drivers were dealt
severe blow, nonetheless. The blow came from
the Traffic Court judges in an announcement
that henceforward straight jail sentences would
be given persons convicted of driving while in
toxicated or otherwise operating motor car in
a reckless manner As part of the campaign
taverns posted large signs: Drunk drivers go
to jail" The judges meant what they said, as
more and more drivers went to JAIL Licenses
were revoked in most cases for long periods. And
little trouble with drunken drivers or other
highway menaces.
The Detroit system works The conclusion
is inescapable that If more cities adopted the
send -violators-to policy the shocking traf
fc slaughter could be materially reduced. AS
Governor McKeldin suggests, it is time TO get
tough with the killers who prowl the public
highways.

Man Who Has Some Advises onMonev

work and thrift. He handled bank runs
skllfully, and kept his own banks open.
But ne felt that the steps bankers were
forced to take for their individual safety
were contributing to collective ruin.
More and more he was convinced that
what his father would have called Gov
eminent interference" in the economy
was essential for its survival-and spe-
clf1cally that substantial Government
spending was the only way out of the
depression.
In 1884, through the influence of Rex
ford Tugwell, Mr.. Eccles came to Wash
lngton as special assistant to Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Morgenthau. Be-
fore the end Of the year he had been
named governor Of the Federal Reserve
Board and was in a bitter battle with
Senator Carter Glass on reorganization
OF the Federal Reserve System, finally
accomplished by the Banking Act of
1885. His views led to other disputes,
including one with Senator Byrd on
spending policies in 1889. And there
was the running fight, still not settled
with the Treasury on the support Of
Government security prices.
In the years from 1894 to 1945, to
which Mr.. Eccles devotes the greater
part Of his book, he had his share of
triumphs and failures. He didn't al
ways carry his point with President
Roosevelt. Sometimes he didn't even
get 1t across, as on the occasion when
the HOUSEKEEPING Of Fala seemed to
have greater claim on Mr.. Roosevelt's
attention.
In the postwar period Mr.. Eccles'
successes have been fewer. With the
abrupt junking of controls at the end
OF the war the great inflationary pres
sures which had been building up were
allowed to get out Of hand. The
Treasury. under Secretary Snyder. con-
tlnued its cheap money policy and Fed
eral Reserve efforts to get authority to
curb bank credit failed.
In 1948 President Truman suddenly
decided not to redesignate Mr.. Eccles
as chairman, though asking him to re-
main as a member of the Federal Re-
serve Board. He stayed. Newspaper
reaction to his demotion came as a
pleasant surprise and, like Tom Sawyer,
he was able to enjoy his own funeral.
Mr.. Eccles believes that much of the
fight against imitation already has been
lost because of the Treasury's persist
ence in the policy of permitting un-
limited expansion of bank credit through
support of the Government security
market.
That dispute seems to have been COM
promised for the moment. but the big
problem remains can the Govern
ment convince the businessman. the
laborer and the farmer that in the long
struggle ahead, equality Of sacrifice is
to be preferred to equality Of disaster?

In Fairness to Other Hospitals

The amendment to the Hospital Center Act
of 1946 proposed by the House District Committee
would broaden that important legislation to its
original form, thereby eliminating an inequity
of the law. This is the second time that the
committee has gone on record as favoring in
cluSion of all of Washington's private hospitals
in the act authorizing Federal grants to improve
and expand local hospital facilities. When the
bill first was reported to the House in 1s46 it
contained provision to enable hospitals other
than those participating in the center plan to
share in the grants, but the clause was stricken
from the bill on the floor. There was fear then
that the provision might imperil passage of the
center bill. AS finally enacted the bill applied
only to the three hospitals joining in the center
enterprise Emergency, Garfield and Episcopal
Eye, Ear and Throat.
Aside from the added cost involved, 1t is
hard to justify the exclusion of the other nom
profit hospitals from the Federal-fnancing plan.
The main argument for Federal aid to the center
was that hospital facilities for Federal employees
were Inadequate that nearly half of local hos
pital patients are Federal employees and that 1t
was in the Governments interest to assist the
community to provide the necessary health facil-
tiles. The argument applies equally to private
hospitals outside of the proposed center. Sibley,
Casualty, Providence, Children's and Homeo-
workers as effectively as Emergency, Garfield
and Episcopal.
The center, to be built at Soldiers Home,
is still In the planning stage. The l946 authori
zation did not specify the Districts share of
the cost, leaving that to future determination.
The proposed amendment would authorize
Federal grant covering so per cent of the cost
of any project, to be matched by the hospital
applying for the grant. The District would re-
imburse the Federal Treasury for 80 per cent
of the grant over period of 1913 years, without
payment of interest. The Commissioners orig
inally opposed paying any part of the cost, but,
reversing their stand, are now supporting the
amendment. Commissioner Donohue testified
that additional hospital construction is urgently
needed here and the hospitals cannot meet the
need out of their own resources. Allocations to
the District under the Hill-Burton Federal-Aid-
to-Hospitals Act are too small to finance major
construction. 1t is true that emergency condi-
tions make any kind of construction difficult
now-even hospitals. And tight budgets make
financing uncertain. But the amendment pend
ing is an authorization only-the question Of
appropriations can be decided later. And If it
is right to authorize Federal aid to three non-
profit hospitals, it is only fair to extend the
authorization to all of them-whether they plan
to operate as group or independently.

Wheaton Schools

On June II, I appeared before the
Montgomery County Council on behalf
of the parent-teacher and citizens as
sociations in the Wheaton area, to in
dorse the Board Of Education's capital
budgetary request Of $11 million, and its
subsequent request that the Council
authorize this $11 million construction
program in such terms that the entire

Council should be used for construction

pletely until July, 1852. Actual con-
struction would begin many months
later.
It is no longer argued by county
officials that the Council cannot approve
construction without bonding for the
full amount. There is no need to au-
thorize bonds this year to provide funds
which will not be required until after
July, 1852.

Aid FOR lsrueI
In her column June 7. Dorothy
thompson reported that United States
sympathies with Israel are creating a
tense situation in the Middle East and
warned we had better stop ignoring the
Arabs.
Miss Thompson singled out Vice Pres
ident Barkley as chief offender, charg-
ing him with constantly repeating that
Israel is the principal stronghold of
democracy in the Middle East. She also
alleged that the United States was at
tempting to meddle in internal affairs
OF some Of the Arab countries-some-
thing that is.- naturally, resented by the
Arabs-and wound up by saying that
the granting Of the $3.50 million aid
grant to Israel will not only infuriate
the Arabs, but will have explosive effects
detrimental to the United States.
This writer wishes to underscore that
these charges not only follow the Arab
line, but are in agreement with Com
munist propaganda designed to weaken
the democratic base Of the Middle East
Look at things, not from the Jewish
standpoint, but rather from the angle
of American security and the demo-
cratic struggle for freedom against COM
munism and feudalism. Israel-a new
nation created by the United Nations
under the leadership Of the United
States-is struggling to establish itself
as q democratic country in the Middle
East against tremendous difficulties. 1t

Israel is surrounded on three sides

United Nations by attacking the young

it was born. The Arabs were trounced
badly and are not now too eager to
undertake second round" They be-

Political Luxury

1t is interesting to see the politicians
riding through our country in luxurious
cars, chauffeur driven. I guess they are
about the only people who can ride in
that luxurious manner, for the tax
payers foot the bill.
Why don't those people, those bureau

nary citizens? 1t is because our Gov
ernment cares not about the taxpayers
dollar.

conspicuous.
