taken us 40 minutes.
Route 40 is a broad dual
highway. The speed limit is
SIS, but every one seems to go
IS. There is a showdown for
the 20-cent toll bridge across
the Susquehanna River. The
distance from Baltimore to
the Delaware River Bridge,
just below Wilmington, is
about IS miles, and we COM
pleted that run at 1905 pm.
The new bridge is one of
those marvels of construction

beauty first developed in
America long-span sus-
pension bridge. It looms high
ahead as approached - and
no wonder. It's two-mile span
rises 180 feet above the river
and the towers supporting its
cables are 400 feet high. It
cost $44 million, and the IS
cent toll is paying for 1t
faster than was expected.
The entrance to the turn
pike is a mile beyond the
bridge. The toll for a passen-
ger car going its full length,
118 miles to the George
Washington Bridge, is SITS.
The attendant at the en-
trance merely hands you a
ticket. You pay when you
leave the turnpike.
The speed limit Is go, and,
contrary to many reports,
our observation was that few
drivers exceed it. However,
you just can't help doing IS
down a slope, and, of course,
it is necessary to hit IS to
pass a car that is doing only
50.
Occasionally. a car would
go by at 10 or so, but we saw
none tagged down for speed

policeman.

| Stevenson Stresses
importance Of Vote in
Labor Day Message
BY the Assoeiased Press

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 30.--
Gov. Adlai Stevenson today
stressed the Importance of free
elections in the historic gains or
ganized labor has made.
Calling attention to the effec-
tiveness Of the American labor
movement in fighting exploitation
which "haS stunted economic
growth in many lands" the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee warned
that increasing indifference to the
privilege Of the ballot is a record
of failure"
The full text of Gov. Stevenson's
Labor Day message follows:
ION this first Monday of Sep
tember, 1852, We celebrate the
10th anniversary of Labor Day in
America.
The tremendous advances in liv-
ing standards, conditions of work,
and economic security for mil
lions Of men and women who make
up the labor movement in this
country represent one Of the most
dramatic and inspiring chapters
in the whole history in human
progress.
Notes Nations Strength.
We are the strongest and rich
est Nation on earth in large part
because the American labor move
ment has fought that exploitation
OF labor which stunted economic
growth in many lands.
Free enterprise and freedom of
economic opportunity are indisol-
uably linked with the freedom of
workers to organize. Free men
can produce more, and achieve
more. for themselves and for So
ciety.
The preservation Of this atmos-
phere Of freedom is essential to
our security as individuals and as
q Nation. This is an election year,
and we will do well to remind our
selves that free elections are the
greatest Of all safeguards Of our
liberties.
The gains that labor has won
through the years could never
have been achieved without them.
194S SHOCKING RECORD
Yet in the election four years
ago. barely one-half of the eligible
voters bothered to cast a ballot
for President of the United States.
The percentage Of the population
who actually vote has been de-
clining steadily in recent years.
That is a shocking record of
failure on the part of the millions
OF Americans to exercise a funda-
mental responsibility of citizen
ship In a democracy.
It is the duty of all of us to
reverse that trend. We need to
make this a government of all
people or it will become a govern
ment by the people who take the
trouble to vote.
We should make a special effort
to vote this year when the issues
touch the personal lives Of every
American and the results will
shape the world in which we live
for years to come.
Labor Has Stake.
Certainly the men and women
of organized labor have a great
stake in strengthening the demo-
cratic institutions under which
we have made such great forward
strides since Labor Day was first
observed in 1882.
We have by no means reached
the ultimate in social progress and
justice in America. We look for
ward to new and higher standards,
toward richer and more universal
opportunities for the American
people.
Our destiny is leadership.
Through leadership that elevates
and dignif1es the individual citizen
We can best serve our own inter-
ests and set a course for freedom
everywhere"
