rear wheels. Until now all the power
went to the wheel with the least
traction.
Any motorist who has ever been
immobilized on snow or ice at curb,
or who has ever had the unfortunate
experience of getting a rear wheel
begged down in sticky mud or heavy
sand land who hasnt?) will imme-
diately recognize the increased
driver convenience the new locking
differential has brought to motoring.
When ice or snow is encountered
at a curb, with the old-style differ
ential the curb wheel frequently
spins and the vehicle is stuck, un-
able to be moved either forward OF
backward.
Positive Action
Under the same conditions, the
locking differential applies many
times the driving force of the curb
wheel to the wheel on the street and
the car proceeds normally, either
forward or backward as desired. The
same action takes place when one
of the wheels is "stuck in the mud"
or begged down in sand. It keeps
the maximum amount Of power
directed to the wheel with the
best traction.
Smyrna times., 1957-11-14

In addition to promoting conven-
ience, the new locking differential,
which was developed by Dana Cor
poration, of Toledo, Ohio, a pioneer
in the automotive field, reduces the
hazards of high speed driving under
certain circumstances.
On turns it permits the outer
wheel to rotate faster than the inner
wheel, but applies the major driving
force to the inside rear wheel,
greatly increasing car stability and
improving cornering. With old-style
differentials increased power to the
inner wheel is absent on turns and
the car frequently becomes unstable,
sometimes goes completely out of
control.
Prevents Swerve
Even the worst bumps do not ad-
versely affect wheel action with the
new locking differential. The wheel
jolted into the air does not spin and
gain momentum, hence there is no
sudden wheel stoppage to cause a
dangerous swerve when the wheel
returns to the pavement.
Car stability is also assured on
patches of snow, ice, loose gravel, oil
slick, etc. Automatic transference of
power to the driving wheel with the
greater traction again virtually
eliminates the chance for dangerous
skids and swerves.
Different car manufacturers have
adopted different names for the unit
on their cars. But call it what you
will, the locking differential repre-
sents probably the greatest advance
in motoring convenience and safety
since the automatic transmission
was introduced. Some say it is the
answer to the most needed automo-
bile improvement since the electric
self starter.

NO CODDLING FOR DRINKS
News and Observer)

The bill proposed by Senator
Crews of Halifax County to per-
nit restoration of driving licenses
for persons convicted of drunken
driving after 60 days instead of
one year should not be passed.
In it's present form the bill con-
stitutes a coddling of drunken
drivers, coupled with undue def
erence to the reluctance of judges
and juries to do their duty.
However, Senator Crews basic
idea that certainty of punishment
is more important that the amount
of punishment has merit. If the
bill were modified so as to make
the minimum punishment loss of
license for six months and to carry
with it a requirement that a driver
have the burden of proving affirm
atively by a sworn statement that
he has not driven an automobile
during suspension of his license,
the measure would be worthy of
very serious consideration.

AN EXPLANATORY
PILGRIMAGE"
Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch)

NHNOAAOth AeQSeT-OlSpdJcIlJ
The demand on the President,
drafted by the Southern Negro
Leaders Conference, threatening a
march on Washington unless the
President speaks to the South on
segregation problems, is another of
those ugly developments which
have accompanied the racial strug-
gle precipitated by the Supreme
Court.
The Southern Negroes have
warned the President that unless
he publicly discusses the "break-
down" of law and order in the
South, Washington will be the tar
get of aSmass pilgrimage-"rooted
in deep spiritual faith"-by thou
sands of Negroes and thou
sands of whites from both North
and South.
The idea of conducting marches
on Washington to promote this
cause or that or to intimidate fed
eral officials is not new, but it has
never been in good repute, This
kind of thing, and allied maneuvers
such as picketing the White House,
have represented a serious chal-
lenge to orderly government and
have usually branded the instiga-
tors as exhibitionists and trouble
makers. Last spring a proposal in
this same category was put for
ward by Rep. Adam Clayton
Powell, Negro Congressman from
New York, who sought a one-hour
nationwide work stoppage by
Negroes as a display of support
for the bus boycott in Montgomery,
Ala. Fortunately, the plan was
abandoned before any serious dam
age was done.
In the case of pilgrimage"
based on a real or imagined racial
grievance, there are even more UNI
pleasant implications and perils.
The organization of such march,
with racial bitterness already fam
ned into violence by the integra-
ton drive in some places, would
be attended by general heighten-
ing of tensions, new outbursts or
and, in fact, a dangerous
new focus for the hate and resent
ment already stirred up by the
federal courts and the NAACP.
Neither Washington nor the ma
ton can afford such an inflamma-
tory performance at this stage of
the smoldering racial controversy.
Nor can the Negroes.
