Traffic Increases
Noted In July

Increases in traffic during July.
in comparison with the same month
of last year, were recorded at all
of the traffic counting stations
maintained by the Planning Divis-
ion of the State Highway Depart
ment.
The largest percentage of in
crease was recorded along US
Route 202, the Concord Pike, at
point north of Talleyville, where
the increase was 1878 percent,
with the daily average of vehicles
counted being 1928. an increase
of 2,618 and the largest single day
was July 9 with 21,321 vehicles
being counted.
An increase of 1908 percent
was recorded along US Route 80.
at point west of Bear, where the
daily average of vehicles counted
was 36,433,- an increase of 3,279
and the largest single day was
July 2, with 41,474 vehicles count
ed.
The increase along US Route 13,
at point north of Smyrna, was
4.6 percent with the daily average
of vehicles counted being 16,75O,
an increase of 737, and the larg-
est single day was July 2, with
22,641 vehicles being counted.
The smallest increase recorded
was along US Route 13, at a point
south of Greenwood, it being 0.34
percent, with the daily average Of
vehicles counted being 1902, an
increase OF 26, and the largest
single day was July 80 with 9,235
vehicles being counted.
An increase of 1906 percent was
recorded along the Kirkwood
Highway, State Route 2, at a
point east of Newark, with tie
daily average of vehicles counted
being 1885, an increase of 1915,
and the largest single day was
July 29 with 1896 vehicles being
counted.
No comparison was available
for US Route lib, at point north
of Milford, because the traffic
counting station was out OF SER

counted for July at this point was
9,785 and the largest single day
was July 2, with 1926 vehicles

Highway Dept. Must
Be Ready To Cope
With Any Emergency

The recent mishap at the bridge
along Route IA, over the Indian
River Inlet, demonstrated the
necessity OF the State Highway
Departments staff being con-
stantly ready to cope with any
emergency that may arise, &C.
cording to R. A. Haber. Chief En-
gineer of the Department.
Our Department il constantly
aware Of the necessity Of having
the highways ready for use ~ =
part of our economic system today
and the Engineering Division
must be ready to act when some
thing happens to halt the use of
the highways", stated Mr.. Haber.
The Chief Engineer cited the
necessity OF first finding out what
equipment is needed and the
materials to be used and then
have some knowledge OF where
both the equipment and materials
can be located.
We can formulate and put In
| to action, when needed, Z pro-
gram of activity in connection
with snow removal in order to
keep the highways open for the
traffic that Is constantly using
them, stated Mr.. Haber.
Then, also, we normally receive
notice. that snow storm is en-
route to our state and can alert
our maintenance crews to be ready
to go into action when the storm
arrives" Mr.. Haber added.
However. Mr.. Haber stated,
"in an emergency. like the one
at the Indian River Inlet Bridge,
we have no advance knowledge
and, in fact, receive our first in
formation concerning 1t after it
happens, which is usually at 4
time when the highway involved
is handling the seasons peak

THE BIO BOMBER

In a controversial action some months
ago, the Air Force cancelled out plans for a
large-scale production of the BIO bomber.
1t was said at the time that the official view
was that the bomber would be an obsolete
weapon, or that-at best-it would not be as
capable as intercontinental ballistic missiles
and other piotless craft.
The resulting trend in world conditions,
and the more gloomy international pictures
as of now, with showdown threatening for
this fall between East and West, makes it
once again pertinent to consider the BIO
program.
The B-74 bomber would fly at speeds of
1000 m. p. h., or in excess of this. That
means, it could strike targets in Russia,
from United States bases, in about two hours.
1t is estimated that it will take about one
fourth this time for an intercontinental bal
listics missile to fly from Russia to the United
States, or vice versa.
The BIO bomber, however, could be used
on many occasion, and pilots would be able to
report what damage was done, If any, etc.
In other words, none of the advantages of
piloted craft would be lost and the bomber
would be fast enough to react in a matter of
two or two and one-half hours to any sur
prise attack.
The BIO would fly at attitudes of sixty
and seventy thousand feet, and it is extreme
ly doubtful if defensive missiles could bring
down all of an attacking fleet, particularly If
they were widely scattered in the sky, and
if they possessed anti-missile and other de-
fensive equipment.
Therefore, in view of our admitted lag in
the intercontinental balfistic missiles field,
the construction of BIO bombers-even
though they would not be available for cou-
pie of years-should be pushed with all pos
sible speed. 1t is not certain that the air
craft would be obsolete, but it is certain that
the Russians are ahead of us in the produc-
ton of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

LABOR DAY, 1860

The last summer holiday weekend Of the
year, Labor Day, is always major killer on
the highways of the country. Falling or Mon
day each year-one of the few holiday which
does-it offers everyone a long weekend.
Because the weather thereafter turns
cool for swimming and boating, and because
millions of young people must return to
school or college shortly thereafter, Labor
Day is observed with unusual gusto.
The idea of Labor Day is recognition of
the millions of working people, and no better
holiday observance could be imagined. Yet
lives in the coming holiday period.
Remember, then, when you make your
plans for the holiday that it would be good
to observe Labor Day, 1861, and to be around
for the event in future years. Make this
holiday one of rest-not frenzied driving and
haste.

SENATORS WHO RAN

"A number OF senators were serious preSl-
Dental candidates this year. One of them,
John F. Kennedy, was nominated by the Dem
ocrats. This emphasizes the fact that in these
times senators stand high among those who
aspire to the presidency. It was not always
so. Kennedy is only the sixth senator to run
for president.
Henry Clay of Kentucky was the first He
lost overwhelmingly in 1882 to Andrew Jack
son. In 1848 Michigans Lewis Cass, a holder
of many important offices from the War of
1872 to the Civil War and often presidential
aspirant, made his one race against Zachary
Taylor and was defeated. Lincoln's great
rival Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illi-
nois, opposed him unsuccessfully in 1860.
Then there was a long intervals-to 1920,
when Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
gained landslide victory over his fellow
Ohioan, Governor James N. Cox. The last
senator to run before Kennedy was Wiscon-
sins Robert M LaFollette, who made an in
dependent race in 1924 but carried only his
own state.
One reason why so few senators have been
nominated is that, before the 17th Amend
ment was passed in 1918, senators were elect
ed not by the people, but by state legisla-
lures. This gave them little chance to prove
their popular appeal. But governors, being
chosen directly, were often nominated for
president. The future should produce more
senatorial nominees

SPACE CAPSULE RECOVERED
The United States has finally recovered
two space capsules, though the recovery gives
no promise for the successful recovery of
man in the immediate future.
The major achievement in the recent u.
S. effort came in the release of the space
capsule from its parent rocket on schedule,
and the ability of controllers to bring the
space capsule down into the ocean within a
designated area. One of the two was caught
in the air and one recovered from the ocean.
The difficulty involved in recovering cap
sules from outer space apd those which might
lin the future contain human beings, is
that an error in calculation, of the smallest
magnitude, means mistake covering several
miles.
1t was explained in the recent expert
ments that if, in the timing of the release,
the ground controllers had been ten seconds
off, then the space capsule would have prob
ably landed thirty miles distant from its in
tended landing point.
The effect of winds aloft, the possibility
that equipment will not operate exactly as
planned, the possibility that ground controll-
ers will be off in their calculations by several
seconds (perhaps through no fault of their
OWN all show the precariousness of the en-
visioned operation.
Also if the human passenger abroad any
space capsule falls into the ocean, he is like
ly to be killed. His greatest chance of sur
viving is to be snagged by flying aircraft.
Thus it seems that the United States is still
far away from the day when it can send men
into outer space.
