There's Nothing Quite Like
Rios Mudcup Traffic

/ "For confusion, there's moth
ing like Rio de Janeiro.'
Biggest cause of the city.
traffic headaches is the way it's
laid out.
Other factors are the lack o1
any underground transport sys-
tenn. lack of traffic law enforce
ment and the haphazard habits
of drivers and pedestrians.
It's nothing short of miracu-
lous that the annual traffic death
toll is not more than the high
of sos recorded in 1852.
| Rio is built on a silver OF
coast between the mountains and
the sea. Sometimes there are
only three blocks of level land
between the ocean and the first
morros (hills).
| The streets wind in and
around the n1orros. Only by
tunneling, filling in swampy land,
or leveling the hills has the city
been able to construct any long,
unbroken thoroughfares.
In the older part of the city,
the streets are so narrow cars
have to park half on the side
walks to make room for other
cars to pass. Pedestrians walk
in the street.
Ritzy, modern, Copacabana
has one main street-Barata Ri
beiro-carrying southbound traf-
f1c. Another street, Nossa Sen
hora de Copacabana, is for
northbound cars. Avenida At
lantica, which follows the curve
of the world-famous Copacabana
Beach, is two-way.
That sounds simple enough.
But it isn't.
Avenida Copacabana ha S
streetcar tracks. Barata Ribeiro
has none. So Copacabana, al
though one-way for cars, trucks
and buses, is two-way for the
antiquated streetcars. Traffic
jams there are frequent with
a wrong way" streetcar usually
at the head of the congestion.
Another difficulty is the short
age of main traffic arteries.
There are only two routes from
the southern to the northern
suburbs. One is through the
city's center. The other is over
a steep road through the noun
tainS.
The city route-followed by
most traffic-carries one of the
worlds most concentrated flows
of traffic. It is further compli-
Gated by four sharp, right-angle
turns.
To regulate all Rios traffic
there are only 20 traffic officers.
There are no special motorcycle
police, no squad cars, no mount
ed officers.
Traffic Chief Estrela estimates
he needs 1000 men.
The real key to the traffic
problem, however, may be the
people. Latins-including Brazil
ians-are known the world over
for their individualistic driving
habits. Some are excellent
drivers; quite a few are bad.
Pedestrians are inveterate jay
walkers. They will cross against
a red light, or edge out into the
thickest traffic. This is particu-
larly notable on Avenida Presi-
dente Vargas, near the Dom
Pedro railway station, known as
the Devils Crossing" or the
Throat of Death" The city,
alarmed at the number of deaths
there, now is building a tunnel
under the avenida.

CHICAGO, Jan. ~. - Some

in q showdown meeting between
the managing director Of the
Chicago Cardinals and their

going to be the will of either
man.
Walter Wolfner. director Of
the professional football club,
says fatty that Assistant
Coaches Mike Nixon and Bill
Daddio have to go. "They posi-
lively will be replaced next sea-
son." Wolfner told a reporter.
Head Coach Joe Kuharich just
as strongly opposes any such
move. II can't see It," he de-
clared. Furthermore. / can't
see myself staying without
them"
The showdown meeting had
been scheduled for today. but was
postponed when Wolfner sent
word that he has Intestinal flu
and is under orders TO remain at
home for ct least a hours.
Yeaf Left on Contract.
If neither man gives way in
the dispute, Wolfner has it in
his power to dismiss Kuharich.
However. Joe, has another year

Believes European,
| Not Landy, Will Do
II in Year or Two
1Y the Assoeictsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Fred
Wilt says he's certain the Amin
ute mile will be run within the
next year or two, but he figures
a European. and not Australia's
John Landy. will be the one
to do it.
"The 4-minute mile isn't just
q possibility, it's a certainty" the
slender FBI agent. one Of Amer
ica's best distance runners, added
today. Personally, I think the
ultimate human speed for the
distance is not 4 minutes. but
around S:55.
Weren't Used to Distance.
II have always felt that Gum
dar Haegg (Sweden's world rec
ord-holder with 4:O1.4) or Arne
Anderson (4:O1.6) could have
done it long ago if they'd been
accustomed to running the mile
instead of the international dis
tance of $500 meters.
II also have thought Glenn
Cunningham and Chunk Fepske
from our own country could
have done it under favorable
conditions-that is, if a special
effort had been made with
proper PAGERS, and so forth.
"AS for Landy-he's good,
sure. But there are a bunch of
Europeans who can run with
him right now. They haven't
been getting the publicity Landy
has, but they're potential Amin
ute milers. nevertheless.
Wilt, world indoor record
holder in the 2 miles (8:50.D
and Sullivan Award winner last
year. said he figured German
has the best chance of running
the mile in 4 nat.
"The outstanding prospect, in
my opinion, is Germany's Wer-
ner Lueg." the blond government
man added. "He's done 3:43
and 3:41 for 1900 meters. The
3:43. which ties the world rec
ord. he did before the Olympic
Games last year, and ! UNDER
stand he's done 3:41 since. But
you don't hear much about il.
Says Europe Has Many.
"Landy. of course, is a threat
for the 4-minute mile, but
he's not the only one by any
means. Europe is full of great
milers. They just don't run the
distance much, that's all. Other
wise, we'd have had the Amin
ute mile long ago."
Landy, the 22-year-old Aus
tralian student, ran the distance
in 4:02.2 and 4:02.8 at Mel
bourne last month and last Sat-
urday won the Australian cham
pionship in 4:04.2 on q grass
track at Perth.
ITO run the 4-minute mile
you've got to have q steady
pacesetter for the first half mile,
or preferably three-quarters. Z"
Wilt said. "Landy had no PAGER
and no quarter calls. He ran
blind"

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-
The Government today sought to
prove there is widespread public
demand for broadcast and tele-
cast of professional football
games and that many people are
being deprived of the games by
the National Football Leagues
control program.
John A. Skiles, one of the Gov
ernment attorneys, questioned
James Seller, director of the
American Research Bureau,
Washington, at the second day
of the Governments antitrust
suit involving the NILS televi-
sion policy got under way in
Federal Court.
| Seller said he and his organi-
zation had made "a good many
surveys" as to listening audiences
| for pro football games. But,
when Skiles attempted to enter
into evidence a number OF the
bureaus reports on these sur
veys, NFL attorneys objected.
Says Conspiracy Is Issue.
Bernard Nordlinger of Wash
ington, chief counsel for the
league, argued that the proposed
evidence should not be admitted
because in antitrust cases the
issue is "has the interest of the
public been damaged by con-
spiracy to destroy free compete
ton, not how many people are
entitled to hear or see free radio
or television."
Nordlinger continued that only
the people who buy radio and
television programs-that is.
sponsor them commercially-can
be harmed within the meaning
Of the law, not listeners and
viewers. He emphasized that
the test under the law is what
harm has been done to competi-
ton, mot who gets free sport,
free candy, free movies or free
CadillacS."
Skiles replied that the public
is entitled to all benefits that
might flow from open TV and
radio of pro football, and said
the Government will prove "a re-
straint and a potential restraint
of this flow sufficient to show an
antitrust violation"
Judge Alan K. Grim overruled
the objection, declaring that he
believed this issue to be zone of
the fundamental problems in the
case"
Seller then was asked to pick
from his several surveys one in
volving pro football.
Judge Grim interrupted to sug-
geSt that the witness pick out a
good one. Make it a playoff
game, or something like that"
Figures for Two Games.
Seller turned to his reports on
a game between the Detroit
Lions and the Pittsburgh Steel
ers, at Pittsburgh last November
9. He said that between 2 and
2:15A.m. on the day of the game,
26.4 per cent of all TV sets in
Detroit were tuned in to the foot
ball game. At 3 pm, 27.2 per
cent were showing the telecast.
