A—4 xx RKO KEITH'S JOINS SAFETY CAMPAIGN Every Employe Signs Card Pledging Careful Driving. Indorsement of The Evening Star Baftey Council's campaign for safe driving on the streets of Washington and belief of its ultimate success was given today by RKO Keith’s Theater, through its manager, Hardie Meakin. Mr. Meakin’s statement follows: “We of RKO Keith's congratulate ‘The Evening Star on its drive to make the streets of Washington safe. Every employe of the theater has signed | the safety pledge card and, what is | more, is going to live up to it whole- | heartedly. | “Frankly, I believe that such a | campaign as you are conducting will work out successfully with a greater number of people than does a con- certed drive on the part of the police even with the publicity that naturally follows such wholesale arrests. If any wmodification of this statement has to be made then let it be stated that | 1t works out more satisfactorily with the citizen who thinks of his neigh- | bors, who believes in living and let | live. To this type of citizen the signing of The Star Pledge Card plants that obligation in which he - believes more firmly in his mind and | each time he gets behind the wheel of his car he thinks of his pledge. | The other type needs the wholesale wrrests—and sometimes even the ar- rests fail to bring their responsibility hkome to them. But, thank goodness, the first described group is much in | the majority. | “Congratulations to you on the tampaign. Let me repeat that we are proud to have an opportunity to co-operate.” OFFER OF LIFE TERM TO BRUNO IS DENIED Wilentz and Fisher Spike Report Commutation Proposed for Naming Accomplices.
