NEW YORK, September 14.—Sena- tor Arthur H. Vandenberg, Republi- ean, of Michigan sailed for Europe to- day voicing a prophecy that “Farley- ism will be one of the most embarrass- ing issues to confront President Roose- | velt during the next campaign.” “Farleyism.” Senator Vandenberg | said, was “the personification of | rampant spoilsmanship.” | “Like all Gaul,” he added, “Jim Far- ley is divided into three parts. One | pert is chairman of the Democratic Committee, another the chairman of | the New York State Committee and the third part is Postmaster General. “No other Cabinet member ever re- tained the chairmanship of a party as long as he has.” Concerning his own presidential as- pirations, Vandenberg remarked: “I am certainly not going to say anything about that.” | The Senator was accompanied by his wife. They expect to travel for about six weeks “on a vacation trip only.” | NAZ| JUSTICE MINISTER AIMS BLOW AT JEWS' Declares “Brodsky Is Type to Re-| mind Us of Danger of Justice THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

MAKE TURNS FROM THE PROPER LANES. The non-observance of this regulation probably causes more accidents between motor vehicles than any other. It also interferes seriously with the movement of traffic—that is, if you turn left from a right lane you not only delay the car directly behind you, but you de- lay other cars which are in the proper lane to make turns or continue directly through the intersection.
