Just as a ftidtortsl' must de
pend upon the engine of his car
to pull It along, so must he de
pend upon the brakes to stop.
Prom the standpoint of safety
the brakes are far more Import
ant, for while a car that cannot
move can do little harm, one that
cannot be stopped at will is a
deadly menace.
Every automobile owner should
make sure of the good condition
of his brakes at all times, es
pecially since a great many of
the accidents that are snuffing
out hundreds of lives every day
are iindou’rtedly due to failure
of brakes to operate properly.
Last year more than 20,500 cars
which had been in accidents
were found upon examination to
have defectives brakes. Of the
total 900 had been involved in
" «cci^i^f.r;Wbkili w
more Uvea; every one of the re
maining' 19,600 brought Injury
to someone. -
The driver who wilfully ope
rates a motor car with poor
brakes Is at least as dangerous
to society as a maniac running
around with a loaded gun. And
he is much more culpable, for he
is aware of what he is doing.
The sensible car owner will make
it a point to test his brakes
dally, to make sure they are In
good working order. If they are
not. he will have them repaired
promptly, or use some other
mode of transportation. The
brakertest chart appearing in to
day's safe driving lesson should
be a helpful guide to ev'jry car
owner in determining the condi
tion of his brakes.

congestion and poeeible meaiuf of
eradicating what some people
may”consider a “necessary evil.”
Tenth street received the most
attention In the discussion of
traffic congestion but the entire
business district of the city was
included in the remarks aimed
at double parking, straddling
parking lanes, all day street park
ing of cars by local people In con
gested districts, peddling on
streets, possibility of a curb mar
ket, and many other phases of
the subject. The culmination of

THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON
Washington, Dec. 23 (Auto-
j caster)—^There’s a new “Third
Party’ movement looming up to
complicate the political situation
in the Presidential election year
of 1936. It is big enough, and
has enough votes behind it, dis
tributed all over the United
States, to make the seasoned
politicians of both major parties
sit up and take notice.
Washington regards the an
nouncement by Dr. Townsend
that he will put a third party
ticket in the field, unless the
Democrats or the Republicans
.satisfy him and his followers, as
the biggest political news since
the death of Huey Long and the
consequent collapse of the Louis
iana Senator’s third party threat.
It is big news, and something to
be taken seriously, for two ma
jor reasons.
1. Neither the Democrats nor
the Republicans can satisfy Dr.
Townsend and his followers.
2. As every fresh arrival in
Washington testifies, if he has
kept his ear to the ground while
back home. The Townsend Old
Age Pension plan has enrolled
literally millions ot voters in its
thousands of Townsend Clubs, all
pledged to work and vote for
$200 a month pensions for every
man and woman over 60 years
old.
Power of the Group
Politicians know the power of
organization. Those with long
memories recall the way in which
the Anti-Saloon League put over
Prohibition, by organizing the
church people in every commun
ity and using the “pressure
group’’ method to defeat wet’
candidates and elect “dry ’ ones.
itch to get something for nothing.
Conpfress Action Predicted
One inevitable effect ot the
Townsend threat, observers here
believe, will be a desperate ef
fort to put through at the com
ing session of Congress some
amendment to the Social Security
Act, to make the Old-Age Bene
fits provided for by that measure
payable immediately and in full
to every qualified person, instead
of at some time in the distant
future. Also, to ‘raise the ante’’
from the present sliding scale,
which runs from $10 to $85 a
month, to come nearer to meet
ing the demands of the Town-
sendites.
There is little belief, however,
that such a program can be put
over. It is fairly certain that
President Roosevelt vould veto
it if it were passed. The Social
Security Act only received his
approval after the parts which
would have required direct ap
propriations by the Federal Gov
ernment were stricken out, and
the plan put on an actuarial self-
perpetuating basis.
The political implications of
the Townsend threat as it may
affect the choice of the Republi
can candidate, and the election
next November, are being care
fully appraised. It is a quitie gen
eral understanding that Senator
Borah would be a satisfactory
candidate to Dr. Townsend and
his followers. But that fact, on
the face of it, provides another
reason why the Republicans are
not likely to nominate him.
Republican strategisU would
welcome a strong third party
movement of Ibis kind, for the
general assumption is that it
