-Four Party Leaders
Back Hartman in
Race for Governor
BY III. A..oeiu,.d Pres.

NEW YORK. Sept, l0.-Four
of New York States leading
Democrats have formally in
dorsed Averell Hartman for the
party's nomination for Governor.
All may not be clear sailing for
the millionaire New Deal-Fair
Deal stalwart. however, because
some powerful hackers of Rep
resentative Franklin D. Roose-
welt. jr.. threaten a floor fight at
the Democratic State conven-
ton.
The leaders Endorsement prob
ably has assured Mr.. Hartman
Of a majority of the delegates.
A statement backing MIR. Har-
riman was issued late yesterday
by Democratic State Chairman
Richard H. Balch and Demo-
cratic National Committeeman
Carmine G. DeSapio, who also is
leader Of Tammany Hall, the
Manhattan party organization.
Lehman. Wagner Concur.
The statement bore the in
scription that it was "concurred
in" by Senator Herbert H. Leh-
man, who is vacationing in
Idaho, and New YORK. Mayor
Robert F. Wagner. who has re-
jected bids that he seek the
gubernatorial nomination.
The statement was issued at
Democratic State headquarters
after several top party leaders
had failed in private efforts to
persuade Mr.. Roosevelt, the only
other active contender. to bow
out in favor of Mr.. Hartman.
Several upstate Democratic
leaders declared their continued
support of Mr.. Roosevelt for the
nomination.
Mr.. Hartman, 81, issued q
brief statement last night say
ing he was gratified at the sup
port of the four top party
leaders. He said that, if nomi-
mated, he would lead a vigorous
fight for the Democratic Party's
principles, which II deeply be-
lieve are vital to the welfare Of
the people of our State"
Mr.. Hartman, formerly Re-
publican, has been a Democrat
since he voted for the late Alfred
E. Smith for President in 1928.
Ives Unopposed.
AS possible Hartman
Roosevelt convention fight
threatened, no Republican OPP
position developed against Unit
ed States Senator Irving M. Ives,
who has been tabled for that
party's gubernatorial nomination
by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and
other G. o. p, leaders. Nomina-
ton of the 58-year-old Senator
appeared certain.

yention will open in New York

Clark King Finds
Meaningless Phrase
In Leit-Turn Code

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King believes one Of the
Districts trafic regulations con-
tains o superfiuous statement,
with no real meaning in fact"
This rule, which is included in
the Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Regulations, Section ~ la,
states:
1.-THE driver Of a vehicle within
m intersection intending to
turn to the left shall yield the
right-of-way to any vehicle ap-
preaching from the opposite di-
rection which Is within the
intersection or so close thereto
as to constitute an immediate
hazard: but said driver having
% yielded and having given
signal when and as required by
these regulations. may make
such left tuxn and the drivers
Of all other vehicles approach
Ing the intersection from said
opposite direction shall yield the
right-of- way to the vehicle max
ing the left turn"
Explains Point.
The final statement In the
regulation beginning land the
drivers Of all other vehicles" is.
Mr.. King said "superfiuous and
has no real meaning In fact"
He explained:
IF a man is allowed to con-
tinue at an undiminished speed,
then he Is not called upon to
yield right-of-way and. under
the definition Of immediate haz-
ard, the person making the left
turn would be called upon to
yield to the other driver"
The Municipal Court Of APP
peals, in q decision handed down
in 1945, said that immediate
hazard" meant:
-" a vehicle so close to the
intersection that, should 1t con-
tinue with undiminished speed
and should the unfavored vehicle
start, the two would reach the
point where their paths would
converge at approximately the
same time"
In Uniform Code.
Traffic Director George Ke-
neipp, asked to comment on Mr..
Kings criticism of the way the
traffic rule is worded, said:
1.-THE traffic regulation estab-
fishing the right-of-way of a
vehicle turning left at an inter-
section is taken from the Uni
form Vehicle Code which has
been adopted by most Of the
States. It represents a cross
section Of the best thinking on
this problem in the country. No
one has proposed a better regu-
lation: If there is one, I will be
glad to consider it."
The traffic director added that
the right-of-way problem lis q
very thorny one. It Is difficult
to set it down in writing, since
It Is a question Of fact in each
and every case"
Two Defenses Held Possible.
This regulation was called to
The Stars attention by Mr.. King
during a recent series Of articles
published in this newspaper on
District traffic rules.
MIR. King declared he knew Of
only two defenses for the driver
making the left turn who collides
with the approaching car. One,
that he did not realize the other
driver was exceeding the speed
limit; and the other. that the
first time he looked the oncom-
ing car was at a safe distance
but the driver then increased his
speed

But the Communists are not

Could any one guarantee
that at some future date

Stain could not.

Should the Senate be called
back into special session to
pass judgment on the charges
Of censure against Senator Nc
earthly?
Almost to a unit, the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate say eyes"
because they think it will help
them politically to see the Re-
publicans engaged in interne-
cine warfare on the eve Of the
congressional elections and the
attention Of the country di-
verted from the issues to read
about the civil war in the Re-
publican Party.
Almost to a man. the Repub-
licans are nervous about it. and
all but a few would prefer to
have the case tried after the
November elections.
Irrespective of which way
the vote on censure goes if the
Senate session is held before
November there will be sub
stantial numbers of Republic
cans throughout the country
who will be influenced to vote
for or against the party in
power. and any disaffection-
even of as little as 10 per cent
on the Republican side-may
be enough in certain close
districts and States to cause
the Republicans to lose con-
troll of Congress.
Take New York State, for
example. Senator Ives, Repub-
lican, is running for Governor.
He cannot count on the big
Democratic vote of New York
City to swing the election for
him but must depend on the
Republican vote upstate where
there are many thousands
of Republican regulars who
will feel aggrieved and re-
sentful if Senator Ives votes
against the Wisconsin Senator.
If he is recorded in favor of
Senator Mccarthy, the New
York gubernatorial nominee
may lose some of the Demo-
cratic votes he needs to win in
the lower end of the State. II
there's no special session Of the
Senate, it will aid Senator
Ives chances.
The same situation prevails
in Massachusetts,, where Sen
ator Saltonstall. Republican,
either will find it necessary to
side with Senator Mccarthy
or it will cost him a big loss

normally vote Democratic but

The men in the Kremlin are

Germany is different. Under
the leadership OF Chancellor
Adenauer it is more pro-Amer-
lean and more in sympathy
with our present policies than
any OF. our Western European
allies. -
DR.. Adenauer can survive
and continue to exercise his
present influence in the fed
eral republic only If Germany
is given full sovereignty. This
includes the right to rearm
without France having any
strings on the rearmament
program.
A recent canvass among the
German people shows no en-
thusiasm whatsoever for crea-
ton of a large military force.
It may be that they have paid
too heavy a price for militar-
ism. It may be that they are
so prosperous that they hate
to pay the present high cost of
a large military establishment.
But all Germans do favor a
defensive military force suf-
ficient to contribute to the
defense of their borders.
There is a great difference
between militarism and Mill
tary preparedness. This coun-
try, for instance. has a power

not now and never has been
militaristic. Germany under

were too high for the Forest

with their parachutes without
danger of plunging into the
crowd. and that had to be
called off. Some in charge of
the event breathed signs of
relief. for there seemed little
sense in endangering freight
ers just to try to elect a United
States Senator.
Then there was a speech by
Richard E. McArdle. chief Of
the U. S. Forest Service, about
the work of the firehghters.
Then came Mr.. D'Ewart'S mo-
ment in the sun when he in
troduced the President. He
confined himself to the usual
introduction.
The President stood up to a
gust of applause. Before he
went into the body of his

ice and it's work, he said he
was glad he had been intro
duced "by an ex-Forest Ran
