BROWN PRAISES STAR SAFETY DRIVE Police Head Says Observ- ance of Pledge Will Reduce Traffic Accidents. BY ERNEST W. BROWN, Major and Superintendent. The Metropolitan Police Depart- ment of the District of Columbia, charged with the protection of life and property, welcomes and com- mends most highly The Eve- ning Star in its campaign for the promotion of safety on the|: public streets of the Nation's Cap- ital. There is .no question in my mind that if every motorist would carefully read and comply with the 12 points in the Safe Driv- ing Pledge that traffic fatalities and accidents would be reduced to a mini- mum in the District of Columbia. In analyzing the cause of traffic ac- cidents in the District of Columbla, it is found that failure to comply with one or more of the 12 points of the Safety Driving Pledge, with a few ex- ceptions (where pedestrians have failed to exercise proper care) has been the ccatributing factor in traffic accidents in the District of Columbia. Some motorists will say that speed does not cause accidents, but there is no question that excessive speed does contribute to accidents. ‘The attitude of mind of the driver who is disposed to operate his car in excess of the speed limit, is fregently the same as the attitude of mind MAJ. BROWN. which causes him to commit other | dangerous traffic violations. Speed is seldom a necessity. WALLACE WINDS UP THIRD FARM STUDY Declares Himself Well Pleased With Information Gained So Far in Survey. By the Associated Press. ATHENS, Ga., September 7.—Ex- pressing himself as “well pleased” with information gathered so far in a Nation-wide survey locking toward a planned agricultural program for the United States, Henry Wallace, Secre- tary of Agriculture, left here today after his third regional conference. As expresed by some-of those at- tending the conferences here, at Ames, Jowa, and Logan, Utah, the general idea is to gather detailed information about agricultural activities for the entire Nation. It is expected the study will go down to each county, | and then to each farm, in the United States, to give the farmer a picture of what is needed in the Nation from their farm, soil, growing conditions, markets and other factors considered. | The Secretary, in keeping with his announced intention on arriving here | to refrain from discussing details of | the conference, declined to say what | took place specifically at the meetings here.

Keneipp Says Law Definitely Forbids Invasion. Citing the regulations relating: to safety zones as the phase of Wash- ington’s traffic code most frequently violated, George E. Keneipp, marager of the Keystone Automobile Club, yesterday issued a plea for more care- ful observance of safety boundaries by motorists. There apparently are tens of thou- sands of local motorists laboring under the impression that the safety zone is “everman’s land” unless it 15 oc- cupied, Keneipp said, but the regula- tions clearly state that “no person shall drive a vehicle in or through any part of any safety zone, whether such zone be occupied or not.” Violations Frequent. To state the case any more clearly is manifestly impossible, Keneipp as- serted, and yet it is not an unusual sight to mee a motorist run through every safety zone on some of the out- lying boulevards. “There are countless violations of this part of the code daily,” he said, “and they are to be explained only through the average driver's ignorance of the letter and the spirit of the law. Pedestrian Deprived. “The situation is serious,” he con- tinued, “in that it robs the pedestrian of his one potentially safe haven in the streets. During the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, the delegates agreed that pre- serving the safety zone inviolate at all times and under all conditions was one of the essential factors in reduc- ing traffic mishaps of the most serious kind. “The white boundaries of the safety zone appeal to all considerate motor- | ists as out-of-bounds markings. The sportsmanship of the driver should | keep him where he belongs. It should not be necessary for the police to| stage a campaign to teach motorists their places with reference to this provision of the code. The average man should enforce it for himself. | His fallure to do s0 Is inexcusable.” | hope and nrmly believe that every other department and every other Government agency will be only too glad to co-operate to the limit in this humanitarian endeavor. To Organize Tomorrow. ‘The Safety Council of the Com- | merce Department is expected to be organized tomorrow. It probably will | include in its membership heads of the various departmental bureaus. The council is expected to begin the | distributior of Safe Driving Pledge cards to every employe of the de- | partment by the middle of the week. | John A. Remon, general manager of the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-\ phone Co., reported that at the close | of business yesterday a total of 1,024 | employes of the company had signed safe driving pledges, within less than 24 hours of the time of receipt of the first pledge cards. ““There can be no question about the wholeheartedness of the response on the part of telephone company em-) ployes,” Mr. Remon said. “There is| no difficulty obtaining signatures and | there are many favorable comments heard as to the value of the campaign. “If the employes of the telephone company are a representative cross- section of the citizenry of Washington, and I think they are, the very favor- | medium | cards, is:re Driver, The Evening Star Safety 1935—PART ONE.: P.

The Washington Gas Light Co., which joined the campaign yesterday, called for 2000 pledge cards. The! company not only fully endorsed the safety campaign, but agreed to give it full support both through the of the company's own permament safety organization and its Safe Drivers' Honor Corps. Company medals were presented on Friday to 378 employes who had driven motor vehicles from one to four years with- out having been involved in an acci- dent. Not content with the splendid work of its own safe drivers’ organization, however, the company, in agreeing to | co-operate in The Star Council’s cam- paign, is undertaking .to spread its safety work to all its employes who | drive their own cars and to members of their families. More than 95 per cent of the company's own drivers have had accident-free records for | one or more years. | The Wakefleld Dairy, first of the | dairy companies to get behind the | safety campaign, yesterday requested 60 pledges for its drivers. Officials of the company promised that not | only would the pledges be signed but that they would see to it that the safety rules embodied in the pledge | would be complied with in full by company drivers. | The City Cab Association, first of the taxicab companies to enroll in | the campaign, called for 250 pledge | Entitled to Emblem, Signers of the Safe Drivers’ Pledge Cards are entitled to a wind shield | sticker bearing the wording, “Pledged Council.” The sticker will be dia- mond shaped, printed in red and blue | on a white background.

Hamaguchi, the Jap- anese prime minister who accepted the London naval agreement of 1930, paid with his life for it. Wakatsuki, who negotiated that treaty, escaped | but his foreign secretary, Shidehara, | was dangerously wounded by a mem- ber of the society. The same thing happened to Inouye San, another Japanese statesman, and to Baron Dan, president of the Mitshuishi Bank, the rival of the Mitsui Bank, | which has the approval of the Black | Dragon. Inukai, another Japanese | prime minister, was assassinated in| his own home by a band of cadets| because his policy during the Man- | churian campaign was considered too | And quite recently Gen.| Nagata was added to the long list of dragon. * ok * x So powerful is the influence of the Black Dragon over the Japanese gov- ernment and the high courts of justice that the ‘assassins invariably sentences. In London and in Rome the gov- ernments are aware of the tend- encies and activities of the society and, according to reports from Rome, Mussolini has received more than one mysterious letter and telegram threatening him with assassination if he attacks Ethiopia. The Italian mewspapers are not allowed to mention this subject and the British government considers it wise to keep as quiet as possible about the doings of the Dragon in India and other British Oriental pogsessions. * % ko x The general of this secret society is Nissho Inouye, a fanatic whose orders are never di but blindly obeyed. Inouye was a gay young man in ‘Tokio some 40 years ago. Tired of ‘Tokio’s night life and worldly pleas- ures, he became a Buddhist monk and now directs the activities of the Black Dragon from a Buddhist monastery. He speaks a number of foreign lan- guages, but never allows foreign words to defile his lips. He can discourse for hours about Chinese or Bergso- nian philosophy and knows the latest development in the field of aviation. He writes poetry in the difficult Japanese script and with the same ease he uses a typewriter to send spe- cial orders to members of the society to bump, off some individual whom he considers has outlived his useful- ness in this world. * ok ok K In this monastery ived a few years ago a white man who had also been touched by grace and desired to * devote his life to Budda’s philosophy. This man was Trebitsch Lincoln, a Jewish-Hungarian, who had gone to England some 35 years ago to become a member of the Church of England A few years of residence in the north of England was sufficient to gain him the sympathy and the confidence of his new fellow citi- zens and he was sent to West- minster as member of the British Parliament. He dabbled in oil con- cessions in Rumania, got into finan- cial troubles and when the World War started Lincoln became a renegade and the chief spy of the central powers. He was arrested in New York !or‘ some shady business transactions, but he could not pe extradited to Great Britain because of espionage and high treason. At that time, the United States was a neutral power. After the war he was a man without a coun- try, going from one place to another until finally he was touched by grace again while in China and became a Buddhist monk. * % *x X In the monastery where Inouye has | his headquarters he met the grand- master of the Black Dragon. Inouye | renlized that this renegade and newly converted Buddist might be a| useful man. He received him like a brother and charged him with a mis- sion abroad. Under the cloak of a Buddhist monk, Lincoln is now traveling through the East as the executive officer of the great chief who never leaves the monastery, not far from Tokio. * ok ok % It is the Black Dragon that gives the “themes” for speeches of the high Japanese officers or provides the texts for the manuals used in Jap- anese military schools. The Tiki Kita text book used by young Japanese officers has some pearls well worth quoting: “The Japanese government has the right to make war against nations which have extended territories. An example: Australia should be taken away from Great Britain, Siberia from the Russigns.” Gen. Araki made a speech a few weeks ago and said among other things: “Our country is determined to propagate its national ideal across the seven seas and the five conti- nents, even if it hgs to use force. We are the direct descendants of God and must rule over the world.” * % ok x The famous Tanaka report to the Emperor of Japan—the authenticity of which has been denied in Tokio for a long time, but in the light of what has happened during the last four years it is beyond doubt that it exists—contains the following sen- tence: “In order to conquer China, we must conquer first Manchuria and Mongolia. And in order to establish our supremacy in the world we must first conquer China.” Furnace Parts Safety (Continued From First t Page) and the Commerce Department in the safe driving campaign gains added importance from the fact that Mr. | Roper also is chairman of the Na- | tional Conference on Street and Highway Safety, which for several years has worked in the interests of public safety. In announcing the participation of the Department of Commerce in the local safety campaign, Secretary Roper issued the following statement: All qf Washington should feel gratified to the menagement of The Washington Star for mobiliz- ing public interest in behalf of street and highway safety. The accumulation of accidents has impressed every one with the necessity of such a program and it is particularly timely that The Star should get behind this civic safety movement in Washington in such a constructive manner. This program is in conformity with the campaign we have been conducting with States and muni- cipalities in the interest of uni- formity of procedure and co- operative action in the prevention of street and highway accidents. This national program has been carried on through the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety of which. the Secretary of Commerce is chairman. The pub- lic. in my opinion, is now ready for the general arousement neces- sary to decrease and control ac- cidents. The individual can be impressed with his responsibility in this connection chiefly through the public press and it is for this reason that The Star's program in this connection will be of such paramount importance. . _ We have already started the Safety Couacil in the Department of Commerce in co-operation with ‘The surs procnm I nncerely MODEL HOME Sonoma, Bethesda, Md.
