THE ORACLE a UNMARKED POLICE CARS - Law enforéement agencies in many states ate watching the experiment in Michigen Wwhere;the highways are being patrolled by unmarked police cars in an effort to determine whether the plain vehicles are more effective than the familiarly-marked police cruisers. ¢es*The fact that three out of five acci- dents on the highways involve violators of trattic regulations illustrates the import- ance of apprehending those who deliber- _ptely, violate “regulations.” Many of these had escaped detection for other violations. The theory is that if those who deliberate- ly disobey traffic regulations are detected, :apprehended and punished, they will be- “éome safer drivers and, possibly, avoid serious accidents. + State Police Commissioner Don Leon- ard, of Michigan, says that policemen in plain vehicles catch eight times as many traffic violators as those in cars plainly ‘matked as police vehicles. The psycho- logical effect of not knowing just when a ‘law enforcement agent will be met brings about a more careful attitude on the part of those who drive carelessly on the high- ways. While we do not believe that it would be-a. good idea to remove all of the police ears that are easily identified on the highway, because there are occasions when it .is good to see one on the road. the use of unidentified cars by policemen should huv® a good effect. In brief, the plainly marked car, patrolling the road, serves as the policeman in uniform; the unidentified vehicle as,the plain-clothes man, IKE “WAS NEVER ASKED” General Dwight D. Eisenhower, ap- pearing before a Senate sub-committee, conceded that his statement in New York, relative to this country’s disarming beyond the extent that he wotld advise, was more emphatic than he intended, but he nevertheless madé it plain that he was not’ the architect of the final defense bud« get. omGeneral Eisenhower testified that he worked for six months with the Joint teks of Staff to deyise a budget with an over-all ceiling of $15,000,000,000, which was otiginally set by the President. Subsequently, he said, the ceiling was re- i by about $1,000,000,000 and he never askéd” his | opinion whether a great Bovit but there are many individuals ‘who suspect that theyshave been pyeresleees Le ; is quite another problem, however, for WAR VIEWS DIFFER Among the expressions of opinion worth considering in connection with the possibility of war is that of Winston Churchill, who recently told the British House of Commons that he does not feel a new war is either imminent or inevita- ble. This declaration is comforting to those who are familiar with the wisdom of the former British Prime Minister and un- derstand his keen insight into the 'prob- able course of international affairs. The view of Mr. Churchill is not sup- ported by Rear Admiral-C. P. Momsen, the American Navy’s top submarine ex- pert, who predicts that Russia will go to war against the United States whenever the Kremlin is convinced that “the cards are properly stacked” in its favor. Interestingly, however, Admiral Mom- sen, in an address to the Society of Amer- ican Military Engineers, reports that the United States is building its anti-subma- rine defense around another submarine, popularly known as a_ submarineskiller, and that this country is near a solution to the problem of submarine detection that will make submarining a “Mighty dan- gerous business.” The Admiral notes the “feverish ef- forts” that the Russians are .making to increase their naval power to augment their immense land power and predicts that the Soviet will try to kill American sea power with submarines and mines. Regardless of what you hear, or read, the human race is improving throughout the world. A JOB IS IMPORTANT Hundreds of thousands of young Americans, some in Monroe County, will go into the job-market in June, as schools and colleges release new recruits for em- . ployment. The important task of finding a job is rarely appreciated by those who have steady and dependable employment. . It young people who have trained them- selves and are ready to begin the business of making a living. There was a time, not so very many years ago, when the absence of jobs creat- ed insuperable difficulties for millions of American families. The likelihood that this will be the case again is not threaten- ing but, in mid-February, aceording to the Census Bureau, one worker in every four- teen was without work in the United States. Idle workers numbered 4,684,000 at that time. Employment opportunities for those able and willing to work should be the concern of every American. There is no future in this land of opportunity fox any young man or young woman who is un- able to find suitable employment. Con- sequently, the ereation of economic op- portunity is a matter of prime importance. Unless principle restrains selfishness, there is no hope for a person, a nation or a world. EXHIBITING A FEAR OF IDEAS The tragedy of our age is fear—not of things but of men and ideas—declares Althea K. Hottel. Dean of Women at the University of Pennsylvania, who points out that “our fear of Russia” is producing idegative rather than positive foreign and domestic policies. The lady points out that the Marshall Plan, which began as a courageous and positive proposal, responsive to the réal- ities of the world situation, “became in the present Congress a definite operation wnder the influence of our fears:”” There can be no doubt of the correct- ness of the gist of the dean’s remarks. The people of the United States are ex- hibiting a fear of ideas, men and things, and, because they do not understand everything, fall easy prey to propaganda that leads them like a flock to conclu- sions that, to say the least, ate not estab- lished by proof. The use of mass psychology to suggest that there is imminent danger of a Com- munist uprising, of that a few thousand Reds can take over the United States, is a case in point. Once this starts, is is easy to assume that every person who has ever talked to an admitted Commun- ist is guilty by association and, therefore, deserving of piinishment. This is a mon- Strous doctrine which Americans would not entertain in calmer moments but it springs from the fear psychosis. ——ooorrrrrr—r a ——————— eee SS scsi PERE MEE Set TIRE PUGANS.
