Declare If ar V(w The United States is making extensive prep arations for the protection and defense of its people against war The defense program has an almost unanimous approval. While the nation is preparing to meet any emergency, the people will do well to declare war against the wholesale slaughter on the highways of county, state and nation. When we start burying four automobile accident victims out of a single family, it is -time to declare war against carelessness .recklessness and drunken din ing on the streets and highwuys.? What will this country gain if it prepares to meet a war emergency and after succeeding . m accomplishing that turns and remains mdif \lerent to the mounting death toll and proper ty loss on the highways? We can well test our ability in meeting any w..i emergency by solving the highway acci dent problem which is growing in complexity day by day. The individual ovi i the land is being asked to contribute, bis part to the defense program. If tin highway accident problem is to be solv ed every individual must take a part by con tributing his part to a program for enhancing the safety of humans and property as they move to and from over the roads. Viys /'reus Ruled Ity llusini'ss Labor. ,. hd J Flyim, chairman of the Democratic Na tional Committee, stirred up a hornet's nest on Wednesday. He declared at a press conference in New York City that American newspapers are con trolled by financial interests, and he had the temerity to name the New York "Times" and the New York "Herald Tribune." He said the "Times" had printed on page one a storv about a "smear" circular issued by the colored division of the Democratic National Committee. It branded Willkie as "Pro-Hitler" because lie is of German descent; and "Anti Negro" because he comes from Elwood, Ind , where, it was alleged, the "color line" is rigid ly drawn Flynn promptly repudiated the cir cular and "fired" the author. But. Flynn declared, the paper "hid on the back pages," the story of u "smear circular" sent out by the colored division of the Associat ed Willkie Clubs of America Tlie ' Herald Tribune", lie declared, suppress ed an article by its leading columnist, Dorothy Thompson, because it contained Miss Thomp son's reasons for bolting Willkie and supporting ; -I- d. . : Some of the reporters challenged Flynn's declaration, but he stuck to his guns. Daylight saving is founded on the old Indian idea of cutting off one end of the blanket and sewing it on the other end to make it longer.
