Pennsylvania TO Inaugurafe
Physical Tests OF
200, 600 Unexamined Drivers

Governor David L. Lawrence has
directed the Revenue Department to
begin periodic physical re-examina-
ton of licensed motorists as part of
his far-reaching traffic safety pro-
gram announced recently. No driv-
ers road test or oral examination is
contemplated.
First to come under the new regu-
lation will be all drivers who received
their first Pennsylvania licenses prior
to 1924-before the law required
any type of examination or test for
the license. Governor Lawrence said
there are approximately 100000
such unexamined drivers holding
state drivers cards.
In order to qualify for their 1861
license next January, these drivers
will be required to submit a certificate
from a physician and a state police
examiner testifying that they meet
specified minimum physical stand

Regulatory Agencies
Appear Headed
For A New Look
WASHINGTON. D. C.-(NRECA

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
Federal regulatory agencies ap-
parently are headed for a major face
lifting in the Kennedy Administers
ton.
One of the first moves made by
the President-elect was the appoint
ment of James M. Lands, a respected
former New Dealer, to make thor
ough study of the regulatory bodies.
The move was interpreted in Wash
ington as further indication that Ken
nedy plans to put more vigor in the
regulatory functions of the federal
government.
Lands is scheduled to report his
findings to Kennedy by Dec. Is. Pre-
sumably this report will serve as a
basis for new appointments to the
commissions as well as providing
guidelines for any reorganization.
Lands has had extensive exper-
fence in the regulatory field. In the
1905 he served on the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the
Fair Trade Commission. In the late
1940's he was member of the Civil
Aeronautics Board.
OF particular interest to rural
electrics will be Lands recon-
mendations concerning the Federal
Power Commission. That agency is
sues licenses for hydropower de-
velopment as we'll as regulates in
terstate rates on natural gas and
electricity.
Kennedy will have two vacancies
to fill on the FPC as soon as he takes
office. A third vacancy will occur in
June, giving him a chance to name
a majority to the commission in his
first six months of office.

On the very day before the

Yoshikawa sent a significant
message that was relayed
promptly to the task force. He
had previously reported that =
the United States military
authorities were planning to
put up a balloon barrage
around key points. On Decem- r
Der 6 the Japanese agent re-
ported no balloons in sight
and, as a result Of a stroll to
Pearl City, he was able to re-
port that the carriers Enterprise
and Lexington, together with
several cruisers, had sailed from
Pearl Harbor.
The absence Of a balloon bar
rage meant that the japanese
could employ low-flying torpedo
bombers. =
AS a result Of his earlier
observation that the big battle
ships were often moored in
pairs, the Japanese high COM
mand had provided the attack:

make sure of hitting warships
that might be blocked by other
vessels from torpedo attacks.
Security Held Tight

said he found it easy to peer

over airfields. he found that
military security within the big
naval base itself was hard to
crack.
Specifically, he never sue
