PHILIPPINES HALT VOIDING LEASES Temporarily Heed Protest of Japanese in Canceling Land Rights. By the Associated Press. ' MANILA, P. I, September 14— Vigorous protests of Japanese brought temporary halt today to the Philip- pine government’s program for can- | celing allegedly illegal sub-leases 0( rich farm lands in Davao Province. Most of the leases are held by Japanese. More than 13,000 Japa- | nese are concentrated on Davao, most of them working on farms. | After a seven-hour mass meeting at | Davao, Eulogio Rodriguez, insular sec- | retary of agriculture and commerce, announced today there would be no evictions until he holds further con-| ference with Japanese representatives. | It was reported Japanese plantation | owners of Davao, who produce the bulk of the hemp sold to Japan, were | prepared to offer $4,500,000 to legalize | the subleases. | The cancellation program. approved by Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy, repre- sents an attempt to clear up an old problem. Safety (Continued From First Page) National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. In sounding the keynote for the new subcommittee, Chairman Owen | pointed out that “the man who is most in need of traffic education is the type of man who is not beigg reached by the present methods.” He said that one of the chief goals for the subcommittee membership is to work out means of reaching the type | of motorist who is habitually lax ‘n | observing safety precautions. cularly stressed the urgent necessity for arousing Washington pe- destrians to the need for the strictest | observance of traffic lights and other | methods h "1\“.{\ control, which | serve as m rotect the person | ot s to safeguard the man be- 1d the wheel e was & preliminary discussion hods to be employed in gaining | of pedestrians—through newspapers, the radio, street car cards, posters and other means—but details were left to be worked out later.

It was reported that such regulations have resulted in decrease of accidents since motorists, knowing they cannot use horns to “blast a clearing” for their fast-moving cars, drive slower and make freer use of their brakes. The group also will undertake to bring home to every motorist the absolute necessity for sticking to proper traffic lanes, which would elim- tnate reckless weaving through heavy traffic.

Vigorous criticism of the practice | of bicyclists, who frequently ignore all traffic lights and stop signs and who weave in and out of traffic, was voiced by various speakers. It was suggested that bicycle riders be re- quired to carry identification numbers 80 that action might be taken against wilful violators or those who are habitually reckless and endanger | pedestrians or force motorists to take unnecessary chances to avoid col- lision. . M. O. Eldridge, assistant director of motor vehicles and traffic, advo- cated the publication of photographs of fatal traffic accidents before the victims have been removed as a ghastly warning of the fate awaiting | habitually reckless or negligent | drivers. It also was recommended that ap- plicants for District automobile drivers’ licenses be required to take their examinations in a room filled with pictures of traffic crashes and | their victims, ard that every means | be employed to impress upon their | minds the need for unrelenting care | in driving.

Every motorist who has taken the pledge is entitled to a sticker, and is urged to display it on his car, not only as evidence of his own desire to curb the traffic death and accident toll, but as an in- centive to those not yet pledzed to join the campaign to make Washing- | ton streets safe. An example of the type of co- operation the Safety Council is seek- ing from all motorists is that of a motorist in the 3800 block of Fulton street, who has written the following letter to the council: “I have been driving with your pledge of 12 points pasted in my car to check up on my own driving. could be in larger print and well spaced so that a driver could have a | card in his car all of the time until all of these points become a habit.” The Rhode Island Avenue Citizens' Association has added its support to rhv group of civic organizations in shington which now are actively bamng the safety drive. The Rhode | Island avenue group has ordered from The Star Council 200 copies of the safety pledge card for distribution | among association members who drive motor vehicles. Pledges Pour In.

Another attack on the drunken! driver as a traffic menace is made in an appeal to The Star Council from a local motorist, who cites the following example of drunken driving to sup- port his plea: “I saw two young white men go into a liquor store at New York avenue and Third street | last night, buy a bottle of liquor; each drank a part. Then they got into their waiting automobile and started off out New York avenue to- ward New Jersey avenue as hard as they could. Add another promise to your pledge—'Keep Sober.'" The council has been asked by a resident of Capitol Hill to request the | Police Department to safeguard the lives of groups of children playing in First street between Indiana avenue and C street southwest, in the path of heavy trucking traffic serving the | railroad freight yard and warehouse | area. Pedestrian Requests Time. A request also has been received from a lady living near Rhode Island avenue and Q street that the timing | of traffic lights at the intersection of | Rhode Island and Connecticut ave- | nues and Q street be lengthened to give greater time for pedestrians to cross the wide intersection there. In announcing to The Star Council that the Hillcrest Citizens’ Associa- tion, at its fist regular meeting of the | season, had unanimously indorsed the | safety campaign, Russell Hickernell, secretary of the association, said: “The sponsoring of such a drive was commended and co-operation not only by automobile drivers, but pedes- trians as well, is bound to result in fewer accidents, a large number of which are apparently caused by care- lessness on the part of both drivers and pedestrians.” Education of drivers who are po- | tential causes of accidents rather than concentration upon drivers who al- ready have been involved in mishaps | is advocated by another writer to | The Star Council, ! | | | | | | | ] SAFETY PLEA ON RADIO Members of His Congregation and Others to Be Asked to Co-operate in Star Drive.

Statement Authorized. After hearing spokesmen for more than a dozen public and private social agencies declare they will not be able to take care of transients turned away from District transient lodges after the deadline because their facil- ities are taxed almost to the limit at present, the committee voted to ap- point a subcommittee to draw up a statement of the situation, empha- | sizing the seriousness of the problem, for presentation to the Board of Directors of the council. Those named to the subcommittee were Capt. Rhoda Milliken cf the Woman's Bureau, chairman; Leon- ard Gast of the Y. W. C. A, and Mrs. Margaret Ford of the Travelers’ Aid Society.
