Crossing Crash Record From 1916 to 1986 the percentage of persons killed in auto- mobile accidents at railroad crossings dropped from 10 to 4 per pent of the total, Grade crossing elimination campaigns, together with better signal systems and perhaps (who knows) even the public real- {zation that danger lurks in such places caused the jmprove- ment. Only in Ohio, Indians, Mlinois and Michigan has the slaugh- fer at grade crossings continued, that area recording more acci- dents of this type in 1936 than all the rest of the nation put together, according to the official records announced by the interstate commerce commission. North Dakota, although it made a-miserable record in the| fotal number of automobile accident deaths, is among the best |nsement giving him ‘with regard to crossing accidents, its standing being bettered only by the District of Columbia. This state, according to the official report, has 5,855 plass A grade crossings and 5,781 in class B. It recorded six | Propteal. fatalities in 1936 as against one in 1935, The number injured each year was 17 and 28, respectively. The number of accidents per 100 grade crossings was .32 as compared with a high of 4.69 in Ohio. The District of Columbia didn’t have any. In view of North Dakota’s good showing with respect to §rade crossing accidents it is in order to ask why it made such B poor showing last year in the total number of automobile By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, May 14—The field wide open for speculation as to ultimate compromise which will end the controversy over the President's Supreme Court plan. Although no red-hot dope is avail- able for an accurate forecast, it is possible to outline the area within which the game will be played. That is to say, there are certain compro- mises already suggested from one side, and other compromises likely to be suggested by the other. Between baled m1 be worsed Ligeia agreement wi we out - ficiently satisfactory all around to in- sure passage of some Supreme Court legislation. From the beginning nearly every- one articulate on the ged need has agreed that something should done about the court, the Constitu- tion or both, and now, perhaps, it is important to note that various com- Promise proposals have come from senators who have declared against the Roosevelt plan. Some senators, committed to the plan have sought’ &@ compromise, too, but the White House thus far has turned them down and has given no sign that it isn’t certain of victory without com- Promise. From the opposition, the most lib- deaths. a The answer, probably, lies not only in the failure to observe Fhe rules and courtesies of the road but in the high speeds at which our motorists travel, Successful Employer Louis Swift, Chicago packing baron who died Tuesday, was &n outstanding business success because he was a successful employer of men. Head of one of the biggest enterprises in the country, his firm had few labor troubles. The reason was that Swift, though born with x gol spoon fn his‘mouth, learned to work himself and learned to respect other workers. An industrial prince, he placed his working desk outside his private office where any employe of the company might come and speak to him. He adopted the policy of promoting men from within the organization, constantly impressed on his lesser. executives that one of their big jobs was to teach. em- ployes “there is something more to their jobs than mere rou- tine.’ Within the limits of competitive conditions, he sought to insure continuity of employment, set up a pension system fi- hanced wholly by the company and operated a sickness and benefit association before the politicians ever thought of these Bhings. In bis dealings with his employes he was ahead of his Hme—and the profit-and-loss account of his company proved the value of forward-looking policies. He was a successful business man because he was a successful leader and employer of men, ; ; Tragedy in Nature dn ite campaign to combat the spread of Dutch elm disease, §n unwelcome importation into this country which now threat- ens the elm trees in a large Eastern area, the American Forestry Association has taken a census of the elm trees in America. It finds that this is the leading variety of shade tree throughout the nation and that the number in cities and towns : 25,000,000, with the total for the nation at more than a illion. North Dakota is a prairie state but the number of elms listed for it is 889,000, of which 89,000 are shade trees, planted and tended by their owners. Their value is $2,123,752. Our stake in the battle against the spread of this epidemic Bs considerably smaller than is true of most other common- wealths but it would be difficult to measure the feeling of loss which would come to thousands of persons in this state if their trees were to sicken and die as this species has done in some parts of the East. Share Up and Save Lives Determination of the exact cause of the disaster to the Hlirigible Hindenburg must await full Investigation. At the moment, about all that can be said confidently is that if the big ship’s gas cells had been filled with non-explosive helium, | instead of hydrogen, the catastrophe would not have occurred. The Germans use hydrogen in their airships because they have no helium. The United States has a practical monopoly on that gas. _ But the United States has no big dirigibles, and evidently is not in the mood to build any. ‘That helium monopoly would not, therefore, seem to be of much use to us right now. Since the Germans do build and operate big dirigibles, wouldn’t it be sensible for us to make our helium supply available to them? The Hindenburg would in all probability be afloat today if we had done so, Coronation Perhaps as good an editorial as any on the coronation is tontained in the remark of Sophie the Cynic after listening to the halting speech of the newly-crowned king as it came over the radio. | “It’s lucky for him he doesn’t have to win an election.” “Gnake bites claim 23,000 natives of India.” It is not hard to believe, Bs there are no hip pockets in sheets. eee “Four old women rob federal treasury.” That muffied sound is Dillinger i HO long there were justices over 70 who failed to retire. mise has come from the administra- | the C..I.
