 PatroIman Oral Freeman of the Ketchikan office of the highway patrol. at the trial brought out that the bus driver is always dele gated to be judge of when he has finished receiving or discharging passengers because the driver is so seated that he can best see his past sengers when approaching the bus or when they are clear of the high way or street after leaving the bus
 In finding Moore not guilty of the bus-passing portion of Sec. 40, the court said he believed Moore morally guilty but was declaring him not guilty only on a slight technicality.

No Outcries Are Heard

The manner in which striking dockworkers
in East Coast ports have complied with an anti
strike injunction and returned to their jobs
encourages the hope that the basic dispute can
be settled during the 8O-day cooling OF period
1t also provides fresh evidence of the efficacy
of the Taft-HartIey Act as an instrument which
may be employed to set aside, at least tempo
rarily, clear threat to the national health or
safety. For an indefinite continuance of the
port tie-up would indeed have constituted such
a threat-leaving the shipping industry and
great segment of the Nations commerce COM
pletely at the mercy of racketeer-ridden
union.
1t is at least interesting to note in this
connection that those labor spokesmen who
have been loud in their denunciation Of the
law in times past are remaining Singularly silent
In this instance. Perhaps some of them may
feel that the statute "slave labor" law or not,
will help in the fight to take control Of the
docks away from the notorious international
Longshoremen's Association.

IS years since we saw dog on bus,
except blind mans friend.
X
At first jostle, it might seem that
reading would take ones mind off It,
both sneezers and coughers, but ac-
tuallX bus or streetcar is a pretty
dismal reading room.
For one thing, there is always the
inquisitive fellow who sits next to you,
and peers at your page.
He takes away your privacy at
glance. He is kibitzer and a butin-
sky in one package, and should bring
along his own reading matter, but he
never does. Too bad he can read!
It is the Sneezer. however, who brings
the most woe to the sensitive soul
doomed to wander this world daily by
bus. The SneeZer responds like a ther-
mometer to the ups and downs of tenn
perature. He waits, evidently, until
he boards bus. to unload his 10 mil
lion germs upon the victim, and to that
harassed soul he does it purposely and
of malice aforethought, else he would
have turned his head. Alas, he never
turns his head, but sneezeS Squarely
into the face of the unSuSpecting. His
aim is good He makes direct hit
before the handkerchief can be slapped
into position and his punishment in
the next world will be simply this, if
the handkerchief man has anything to
do with it: He will be compelled to ride
Washington buses for eternity, punish
ment enough, one might think, but
no! There is more; sneezing imps will
sneeze and cough all over him for
countless ages. That ought to be hell
enough for any man.

the last IS years. We had hoped
that the charm of amicability, the
lucky possession Of large family. the
zeal of the racket buster, and the in

what they are, and not as substitutes

a Good Beginning

The tone OF the initial meeting of citizens
on Wednesday, called by the Commissioners to
consider some communicative approach to the
problem of juvenile delinquency, was encourag-
Ing. Forty-four representatives of various
agencies had been invited, and to bring inter-
ested associates with them. One hundred and
twenty persons attended Commissioner
Spencer was an excellent presiding officer He
gave direction to the discussion by his own
well-informed comments Different ideas were
expressed indicating differences of opinion, by
various SpokeSmen. At no time, however did
the discussion degenerate into the babel that
the subject is so apt to bring forth. There
seemed to be general agreement that commu-
nifty action was needed, and a will to produce it.
The next step in this undertaking is the
selection by the Commissioners of relatively
small working group, to go by the name of the
Commissioners Youth Council, with authority
to recommend and to sponsor a course of action.
Expert knowledge of the field with which the
council is to deal is necessary, of course. But
1t would be mistake to overload the council
with professionals or other specialists. One
objective of the council should be to coordinate
the work of the specialists, and to present to
the public something approaching an objective
appraisal of where the work of the specialists
can profit most by the cooperation of volun-
teerS It will be necessary to supply the council
with some clerical help, and it may be found
that salaried executive is needed These are
small hurdles, in relation to the valuable OBJ
jectiVeS of creating community consciousness
and community action.
When it is formed the council will find
urgent invitations to pursue all sorts Of methods
in dealing with juvenile delinquency. For the
subject is one on which almost anybody is will
Ing to speak with all the authority of profound
conviction as to what ought to be DONE" 1t
would be good beginning if the council de-
cided at the outset however, that there is no
simple or any other sort Of known cure for
Juvenile delinquency, and that it will therefore
waste no time in search of one. 1t may be pos
sible, on the other hand, for the council to find
out what the various agencies are doing to cope
with the problem and where their failures can
be attributed to the lack of what can be sup
piled by community understanding and interest.
For these are available, and within reach.
