Truman Is Big Issue
In Virginia.; State PuI
In Doubtful Column
Stevenson Progress
Reported; Silent Vote
May Decide Outcome
o.. H>.,Il :I
By Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. "a
Here in Virginia the opponents of
Gov. Stevenson are doing their
best to pin the Truman label on
the Governor.
The recent statements by Sena-
tor Byrd and former Gov. Tuck,
leading Democrats in the State,
claimed that Gov. Stevenson has
swallowed the Truman program
hook, line and sinker. They in
sisted that Mr.. Stevenson would
go down the line for the Fair Deal
program. They said the Illinois
Governor, who once was said to be
Independent of the Truman ad-
ministration, has now reached the
point of no return.
Much Hinges on Maneuver.
Much is likely to depend on the
success of this maneuver. The
dislike of President Truman in
this Democratic State has grown
with the years. Gov. Stevenson
gave a lift to the Democrats who
wish to be regular" and go along
with the party's national ticket.
In recent weeks, too, Gov. Steven
son has been making personal
gains. One newspaper editor, who
receives many letters from ardent
supporters of both candidates, said
the voters at last seem to have
learned how to spell the Cover
|nor's name. Early in the cam
paign he used to get many letters
spelling it Stephenson"
AS of today, the State must be
placed in the doubtful column.
Both sides say they will win. Both
Iare running scared. T. Nelson
Parker, Democratic State chair
man, told this writer: I'VE will
win"
He's not making any predic-
tions, however, of the margin. He
admits it is a close race and that
there are some bad spots" How
ever, he considers the Stevenson
situation good and improving.
Mr.. Parker said many voters
will not say how they will vote.
This silent vote" could mean
either of two things. First, as Mr.
Parker sees it, it may mean that
many voters who will cast ballots
for Gov. Stevenson do not wish to
stick their necks out on account
OF business or social reasons
Many business and social leaders
are out working for Gen. Eisen-
hover, he commented. Second,
as the pro-Eisenhower leaders
contend, the silent voters do not
wish to publicly proclaim disasso-
citation with the Democratic ma
tional ticket. Many of them have
always voted Democratic and will
certainly return to the party fold
in future elections.
Accurate Prediction Difficult.
1t is this silent vote which is
predictions difficult. Four
years ago President Truman car
ried Virginia, but with a minority
of the total vote cast. His vote
was 200,078 to 172,070 for Gov.
Dewey, Republican. and 43,393 for
Gov. Thurmond. States Rights
Democrat.
If Gen. Eisenhower can get IS
or 10 per cent of this Dixiecrat
vote, he may have Virginia's IL
electoral votes. In 1914, when a
considerable number of Demo-

Argument on Script
Cancels McCarthv
TeIecast in Seattle
Senator Challenges
Right Of Stotion to
Censor His Speech
BY the Associoted Press

SEATTLE. Oct. 24.-An argu.
ment over the right of a televisior
station to censor his script kept
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin off the air here last
night in a tempestuous windup OF
a rough visit to this State.
The Senator, scheduled to make
"a 15-minute telecast over KING
1V. was asked to delete two par
IagraphS from his text which re-
Iferred to two staff members of
Columnist Drew Pearson.
He refused on the grounds the
station had no right to censor a
paid political speech. He was told
ne would have to agree or he
could not go on the air. Station
officials said they told Senator
Mccarthy he could substitute two
other paragraphs or could give
the balance of his remarks.
Neither Side Yields.
Neither would yield, and when
broadcast time came they were
still arguing. The station then
announced the telecast was can
celed for reasons beyond its con-
troll.
KING officials and Senator Nc
Carthy then got into an argument
over whether he or the station
had Cancelled the speech. It neve,
was resolved and the Senator left
40 minutes later to catch a plane
back to Chicago.

Treat Your Seed
It's Good Bet that No Seed Should
Go Into tbe Ground Unless Treated
By RALPH MERGER


cultural Experiment station to the
directors of the Montana Seed Grow
ers Assn. will be reported in this
column later.
SecretarY's Report
A portion of the secretary's report
shows:
The annual report To- 1850 de-
clared that year to be one of the
most difficult experienced in the last
Is years That statement is now out
of-date because 1851 far exceeded
the previous year in difficulties en-
countered.
Small Grain
The difficulty in servicing the
small grain growers in 1851 has been
mentioned. However, out of 2O1 APP
plications totaling 1913 acres, Isl
growers producing 2,815 acres passed
inspection. This is survival of n
percent of the acreage on which in
spection was requested excellent
percentage in year.
The acreage of Thatcher spring
wheat with A fields totaIing 1859
acres was the largest single unit on
which small grain certification was
asked
Thirty-five counties with 371
growers had 27,978 acres of alfalfa
inspected. The comparison of the
totals for 1850 show this was a loss
of 100 acres of Grimm, 50 acres of
Cossack and 388 acres of Ladak.
There was a gain of 412 acres of
Ranger. The total poundage of GER
titled alfalfa seed produced in Mon
tana in 1851 will no doubt be smaller
than that produced in 1850. How.
ever. it is difficult to indicate the
final poundage, as much of it is either
stacked or under the snow at the
present time.
Clover
The transfer from Cumberland to
the Kenland variety for certification
in Montana is nearing completion.
In 1851 there was a gain of Sc acres
of registered Kenland and 264 acres
of certified Kenland over the pre-
vious year. At the present time,
however, it would appear that the
loss of red clover seed will be seri-
Gus. Only a small percentage of the
acreage has been threshed and de-
ivered to the processing plant and il
is only reasonable to suppose thai
much of it never will be.
Ladino clover increased by 1;
growers and 119 acres in 1851.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-02-15

Be- S~A~
again for the year 1852. Speaking of
production should be a reminder that
the food production program this
year calls for reduction in the
amount of wheat planted in Montana
but calls for an increase in the acre
age of most other crops.
Increase in acreage is one thing
and the production from those acres
is another. The last two years have
brought that pretty forcibly to pro-
ducers' attention While its fairly
common thought that at any time the
available moisture may be reduced
to a point where crop yields will be
small, there are also other factors
that can cause considerable reduction
and did in 1850 and 1851.
These other factors may have been
the result of freezing and moist
weather, but they seemed to be more
prevalent than necessary. This leads
US to wonder if we are becoming
subject to some of the evils of dis
ease and insects that catch up with
areas after they have produced crops
over so long period of time. 1t is
likely enough that every precaution
possible should be taken to protect
the plant life of our crops.
It would be a good guess that no
seed should 60 into the ground i'm
less it is treated. We've become
pretty lax about treating seed even
against bunt. Maybe seed treatment
won't do the whole job but there's
plenty of evidence that il helps and
can be jotted down as about the
cheapest form of insurance you can
buy.

point out, these roads were built for speed
and safety"
That's true. The super-roads under con-
struction today are engineered for as much
safety as the experts can put in them. Lessons
learned every day on the t,nnpikes are being
translated into new safety measures. Passing
zones are being widened. Opposing lanes of
traffic are being separated by broader strips,
often with inside shoulders. Flashing traffic
signals to warn of danger are being installed.
But no matter how good the engineering,
you as driver can be hurt by the new and
unaccustomed speed you're allowed. As the
National Safety Council puts it: The faster
you 60. the less time there is to get out of
JAM"
That is good thing to remember about the
first = and greatest - hazard of the super
highways: speed.
The second big danger on the turnpikes is
Evening star., 1952-06-01

''high-speed hypnosis" Whether it is by
product of speed or of monotony and other
factors, nobody knows for sure. The way the
AAA experts figure it. the steady hum of the
tires. the unbroken purr of the engine, the
effortless driving somehow create spell that
turns the driver into robot without conscious
control of his car. Psychologists of the driving
laboratory at Iowa State College are studying
the phenomenon, but it is too early for final
results.
8ypnei2ed Drivers
DR. A. r. LAUER, Director of the Driving
Laboratory, points out that almost all hyp-
motto techniques involve concentration on
some specific object for period of time. with
as few distractions as possible. These con-
ditions are met on the highway by driving
steadily behind another vehicle for mile after
mile, without distractions.

rate he's never dared before. His chances of
an accident caused by speed are therefore
much greater.
A second danger on the superhighways is
something called 'high-speed hypnosis" "a
trance-like state induced by mile after mile of
effortless driving. In its acute stage it may
become actual doing. In its more insidious
form it is temporary loss of alertness.
The third hazard of the superhighways is
one which no driver and no safety engineer
can control It is the danger of accidents
caused by outside" factors the weather,
mechanical failures and what the other fellow
may do This danger, too, is common to all
roads, but it is doubly terrifying on the super
highways because of speed.
Let's look at these dangers, one by one. and
see what you, as driver, can do about them.
First, speed.
The matter of safe speed is. of course,
relative It's not just figure on signpost;
it's the rate at which you still have your car
in control. On a bumpy, winding road, that
may be IS. On superhighway, it could be
twice that fast It depends on you. the driver.
What may be safe speed for someone else
may not be for you. You can 60 70 miles an
hour on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. That's
the legal limit. And many driver who's never
been over so before will cut loose on that
broad white band of concrete. Why not?
What can happen?
Plenty, say the experts. Particularly if
you're not used to doing 70. Most of us. -
says Burton W. Marsh, Director of the Traffic
Safety Department of the AAA. simply
aren't 50 constructed that we can come from
months of driving experience at speeds of from
Is to SIS m.p.h., and suddenly drive upwards
of 70 without greatly increasing the danger
of accidents"
Rules for TuxnpileeEs
The Pennsylvania Turnpike's Police Co
ordinator. Joe Vent, suggests that every
drivers license ought to carry the top rate
at which the particular driver can safely
travel. So Rule No. for superhighway
drivers is: Dviss only at yoar safe speed. If
you're used to drieing no more than so, don't
60 GbOse tt.
So many accidents on the turnpikes "just
needn't have happened" just before Christ
mas last year. only 43 days after New Jerseys
new ll8-mile turnpike was opened to traffic,
five US. Marines were killed on the road
when their car struck the rear end of truck.
The giant vehicle was pulling back onto the
nght-hand lane after stopping on the shoul-
der, when the homeward-bomd Marines
crashed into it. Tragic as this accident was.

HOW TO STAY ALIVE
ON SuPERHlGHWAYS
CONTINUED

and needless as it seems in view of the wide
passing areas and ample shoulders, it was
common variety of turnpike wreck
Time after time on the superhghways.
speeding automobiles have crashed into the
rear of others travelling slower. Attempting
to pass a slow-moving vehicle, they have
misgauged their distances and failed to turn
out soon enough. Some motorists turning
into roadside service stations have plunged
headlong into parked cars. Apparently they
did not realize how long it would take them
to stop at such high rate of speed.
Thus we come to Rule No. 2: Remember that
speed can stretch yOur reaction time. 1t wiA
take y0M many times as nsssck space to tam oMf
or stop when you're travelling at TOP speed.
A corollary of this rule. prompted by the
large number of smash-ups resulting when a
passing car cuts in front too soon, has been
stated by G. B. Gilbert. the Pennsylvania
Turnpike's assistant chairman:
> Rule No. 3: PeDect yOssr technique Of passing
at high speeds. You 'se been used to getting back
into yotr lane as fast as possible. Turnpike
experts W07n, axe your uUN
when Yea Hogget Speed
ANOTHER thing about speed. After miles of
driving with your foot to the floor. you get
used to it. You're doing 20, but you feel and
act as if it were 40. The experts call it
''velocitization Whatever its name. it can
play tricks on you and your ability to act in
an emergency. Unless you're aware all the
time of how fast you're going, you may try to
stop on a dime as you would in city traffic.
Rule No. a, therefore, is: Remember that
speed groscs on you. A long sMberkighscey can
become 50 familiar that yOu forget hosV fast
you're going. If yOn drise at might, keep a DASH
board light on the sbeedonseter to remind yon.
In high-speed driving, the penalties for any
mistakes are terribly high. A brief moments
inattention can mean the difference between
life and DEATH
In an accident on the Pennsylvania Turn
pike, young driver simply took one hand
from the wheel to adjust the seat. He was
travelling so fast that he lost control and
crashed into bridge abutment. No safety
engineer could have prevented the death of
the three persons in that car.
Rule No. S: Make drieing your only business
on the road If yon ,Cant to light q cigarette,
fiddle vitk the radio on reach into the glOoe
compartment, pull off onto the shoulder.
So far, our rules about speed do not vary
a great deal from the common sense we've
been hearing for years. But some drivers seem
to feel that common sense can be forgotten
on the superhighways. AFTER all" they
