There to 1 being" held in the
South this week a traffic safety
conference designed to formulate
a program for improving highway
conditions and reducing the toll
of deaths and injuries from mo
tor crashes and tangles.
Already numerous highway saf
ety proposals have been advanced
in the present Congress, some
of these will go farther than
committee files. The more con
structive will undoubtedly receive
serious consideration. One of
these latter is the measure intro
duced by my colleague, Senator
Truman, of Missouri. The Tru
man bill would have the effect of
limiting to State borders all ve
hicles in States which do not re
quire operators to show their abil
ity to drive. In other words, op
erators in those States which are
without an adequate drivers' li
cense law or have a license law
without a mandatory examina
tion feature. In this connection,
it may be noted that some 8,000,-

To put It another way, in these
States a person buys an automo
bile and takes the road without
showing that he has good eye
sight, is physically capable of
driving, or that he has any know -
ledge of the trafic laws or Is able
to understand reasonable warn
ing and direction signs. Here it
might be pointed out that the
proposed legislation does not at
tempt to force the States to
license operators of motor vehi
cles. It simply provides that if
operators are not required to show
their ability to drive, they must
remain within the State borders.
In other words, it is a limit on
interstate movement, a power
that is invested in Congress, pro
vision Is made in Senator Tru
man's bill to allow all states am
ple time to meet its requirements,
its effective date being 2 years af
ter enactment. f
An important measure has been
offered by Senator Russell, of
Georgia, which has the purpose
of providing Federal funds for
the establishment of State high
way patrols.
I mention these two measures
because they are indicative of
Congressional interest in the saf
ety problem and are evidence of
what may be expected in the fu
ture if States and municipalities
fail to solve the problem.
As one who has used an auto
mobile almost since it was first
Invented, who has driven a car in
many lands where natives had
never seen an automobile, and as
one who apreciates the benefits
of highway transportation, it is
my earnest hope that all State
THE BUON BLRXK NORTH CAHOLO.A
has been pioneered. They have
simply to draw on the experience
of the States which are endeav
oring to meet modern conditions
in a modern way, rather than to
continue ignoring these condi
tions and hoping for the best.
to expressing these thoughts I
am not unmindful that our legis
lators, National and State, are
endeavoring to solve many new
problems. One of these Is the
question of social security. While
differences of opinion exist as to
mediums and methods, there is
universal sentiment in favor of
gome form of old-age benefits.
This is of vital importance under
the new conditions of today. But
IK is equally as Important that we
offer protecton to our citizens to
the end that they may live and
enjoy the benefits of their thrift.
We cannot do so if the existing
national callousness toward the
highway problem continues.
Hand in hand with a mini
mum number of sound laws be
longs strict and impartial en
forcement by experienced jurors
and trained officers. We must
also have adequate State patrols
composed of men whose presence
on the highway give a sense of
security. Careful selection and
training of personnel will assure
this type of patrol. A great num
ber of States already have them
in operation.
Too widespread contempt for
many of our foolish and ill-ad
vised motor laws and regulations
is, in my opinion, one of the fac
tors contributing to the condi
tions of today. Certainly in our
cities too much time is spent in
enforcing parking laws and too
movement of vehicles, ]
create congestion, and, in turn,
cause accidents. And accidents on ,
the highways here in the United
States alone caused more than
thlrty six thousand deaths.
