ONAL REPF Avenue Bldg DRIVER TRAINING how safe highways be made by them- No matter engineering, or how nearly accident-proof car selves may be, the real key to the future of street and highway safety lies in better qualified drivers. With this fact in mind, the National Conservation Bureau has been promoting the cause of high-school driver education. Wherever possible, this includes road instruction, and in every case where the neces- sary equipment and manpower have been available, as notably in Cleveland, beneficial results have been obtained. To supplement and broaden this work the Center for Safety Education at New York University has now developed a practical guide for the teaching which has been printed with the coopera- Motors Corporation’s “Training may of driving mn of General Service War Products.

U. S stationed at the ornate tropical city of| Kandy, the Ceylon headquarters of Lord Mountbatten, have complained of endless inexcusable delays Mountbatten’'s appointment to the Indian theatre at last year’s Quebec conference precipitated a crisis| among the Allied Chiefs of Staff. | When the appointment was decided upon, it was agreed that nothing should be said which would tip off Allied plans to the enemy. Accord- | ingly, General Marshall asked the | Chinese military attache in Wash- ington to come to Quebec, where | he was told about the Mountbatten | appointment and was m.mm-wd‘ that it was no secret he could not | radio a message to Chiang Kai- | shek, for fear the Japanese might | decode thie message.

It attempts to prevent the pupil from forming bad driv- habits, and stresses fair play, good sportsmanship consideration for other users of highways as funda- | course in motorcar | mentals. Rightly employed, the handling could and should be also a course in good citizenship. At the ;vrlum‘ul every opportunity should be extended to all taxi drivers to attend night school for the same same time the youngsters are being course Voting Strength (Washington Post) Never before have so many unknown quantities influenced the voting situation as they will this presidential year. More than 12 million industrial! workers have migrated to new homes since November, | 11940. Nearly that many men and women are in mili- tary service. Will these people qualify to vote? If they do not, will the loss be predominantly from the Roosevelt column, as Mr. Marquis Childs has hinted? These are issues on which the entire election might depend Consider the situation in the key State of New York. The President carried New York by 224,000 votes over Wendell Willkie. Yet New York has los e than one million inhabitants in the past fou mor as San Francisco, Seattle and Detroit Will New York's missing million vete in their new residences? Will they send for New York absentee ballots? Or will they abstain from voting? Absentee voting pro- cedures are not al simple. Men and women, tired after a long day’s work at a welding torch or assembly | line, seldom are in the mood to wrestle with tangled election laws. Nor it is easy to establish new resi- dences in other States. Some States such as Oregon | and Wisconsin have high income taxes. The price of ! voting privileges is frequently the payment of a State income tax. This could well amount to a poll tax of several hundred dollars. Many States require estab- lishment of residence as a condition precedent to voting, and establishment of residence means com- pliance with State income tax requirements There have been huge population gains in the strategic Pacific Coast States. California has acquired more than one million new citizens since 1940. Ore- vast but sparsely settled, has gained 84,000 residents. Will these nomads qualify to vote in their new surroundings? It is well to remember that the question of registration could confound all the polls because it does not enter into the making of the polls. When Dr Ip or Elmo Roper queries a citizen, his opinion is r @ s of whether or not he is reg ered. As the I Long, somewhat cynically once observed, “A candidate does you no good unless he is elected, and a voter does you no good unless he eived several wounded.

Jimmy himself, former S. Minister to Canada, looked little rueful when Rosenblatt teld Doris Duke’s attorneys that Cromwell contemplated writing a book about their married life— which, of course, was not true. . . . Sam Reber, whom the State De- partment has appointed as new as- sistant political adviser to General Eisenhower, is the man who wrote Cordell Hull's blast against de Gaulle which referred to the “al- 2 leged Free French.” Colum- DONORS nist Edgar Mowrer now refers to think blood Reber as “the alleged Sam Reber.” needed should Mowrer argued: “How do we know he is Sam Reber?
