more. For the same motive that

THREE SEEK

L. A. BANK

LOS ANGELES - (ANP) -
With the date for the annual
election of officers coming up at
the Broadway Federal Savings
and Loan association three candi-
dates are reported to be seeking
the office of president.
All three men are seeking the
office held by H. A. Howard,
founder of the bank, until he was
indicted by the federal govern
ment on a number of charges Of
indiscrepancies in handling Of
bank funds.
DR.. H. Claude Hudson heads
Broadway Federal now, thanks
to an enthusiastic election Feb.

they spoke that morning and have
to listen to the same old argu-
ment over again.
They tell me you have to begin
putting on the brakes around
Cleveland if you want to be able
to stop by the time you get to
New York. That's little too fast.
I enjoy fast travel, but somehow
I feel safer If I'm in something
where I can drag my foot and
stop the conveyance.
I'm right at home in a coaster
wagon and have been known as
the supersonic scooter king OF

geous native girls fan my brow

In any event, X marks my

40 KILLED IN
ACCIDENTS


With the highway death toll
averaging more than twa a day
this year, Florida Highway Pa
troll Chief H. N. Kirkman today
described traffic violators as a
menace to national security"
At noon Friday, there were 40
persons killed in automobile ac-
cidents so far this year, accord
ing to reports received by the
Florida Highway Patrol. Up to
January 10th of last year, the re-
ports showed so persons killed.
"The American people have
been asked to sacrifice and save"
Kirkman commented, land that
includes extra safeguards for
the protection of our citizens and
our property"
The highway patrol director
said that "there are some, how
ever, who seem to take pleasure
in violating our traffic laws, and
in reality this is giving comfort
to the enemv."
He explained that the inter-
eSts of traffic violator and the
nations enemies are the same,
since they have "a common goal
which is to destroy and disrupt
our national way of life."

I'ue Been Thinking
By CAB GALLOWAY

Folks on the West Coast have
been getting the filters because Of
unexplained explosions, appar-
emily in the sky. The air force
finally has disclosed that these
explosions are caused by jet
planes diving at a speed faster
than the speed of sound.
It seems that when a jet goes
into a dive at say 900 miles per
hour it splits the air so fast that
the air rushing together again be-
hind the plane creates an explo-
sion strong enough to break WIN
dows and shiver your timbers.
Is this a new world?
Remember the model 'T' Ford?
You never had to worry about
the air crashing together in your
wake in those days. You stepped
on the pedal, the 'T' coughed re-
splendently, and away you chug-
ged The only thing liable to ex-
plode was pedestrians temper
if you rushed up to him at 80
miles per hour.
The old song, "a Mile a Min
ute" was considered the ulti-
mate in speed. Today "a mile a
minute is definitely on the pokey
side. The guy who was going to
see his gal at the Gravity rate of
mile a minute in that song would
have his pants beat off by today's
jet pilot with the air exploding
around his posterior.
And if the air makes so much
noise that it skaters glass on the
ground below the jet, can you
imagine the racket in the cock
pit of the plane? But then comes
the interesting question, If the
pilot is flying at superSonic
speed Easter than Sound) he
probably never hears the sound
at all because he's going away
from it faster than it travels.
Fast, huh2
Why / hear that jet pilots re-
fuse to go up after having fight
