Already numerous highway safety proposals nave been advanced in the present Congress. Some of these wiH go farther than committee files. The more constructive wiU undoubt edly receive serious consideration. One of these latter is the measure introduced by my colleague, Sena tor Truman, of Missouri The Tru- bill would have the effect of limiting to State borders all vehic les in States which do not require operators to show their ability to drive. In other words, operators in those States which are without an adequate drivers' license law lor have license, law without a mandatory examisation feature. In this con nection, it may be noted that some 00,000 vehicles are now operated in tl states which require no license whatsoever. To puk-it another way, in those- States a person buys an automobile aad takes the road without showing that he has good eyesight, is physi cally capable of driving, or that he has any knowledge of the traffic laws or is able to understand rea sonable warning and direction signs. Here it might be pointed but that the proposed legislation does aet at tempt 10 force the -States to license ,. operators of motor vehicles. It Simp ly provides that if operators are not yequireu to show their ability to drive they must remain within the State borders. In other words, it is a li nut on interstate movement, a power that is invested in Congress. Pro vision is made in Senator Truman's hill to allow all states ample time to meet its reauirements, its effective date being ' years enactment, An important measure has been offered by Senator Russell, of .Geor gia, which has the purpose of pro viding Federal funds for the estab lishment of State highway patrols. L mention tnese two measure w cause they are indicative of Congres sional interest in the safety problem and are evidence of what may be expected in the future if States and municipalities fail to solve the problem.- As one who has used an automobile almost since it was invented, who has driven a car in many lands where natives had never seen an automobile, and as one who appreciates the bene fits, of highway transportation, it is my earnest hope that all State legis lators will meet the safety challenge of the day. The way has been pio neered. They have simply to draw on the experience of the States which are endeavoring to meet modern con ditions in a modern way, rather than to continue ignoring these conditions and hoping for the best. In expressing these thoughts I am sot unmindful that our legislators, National and State, are endeavoring to eotve many new problems. One of these is the question of social securi ty.. While differences of opinion exist as to mediums and methods, there is universal sentiment in favor of some form of old age benefits. This is of vital importance under the new conditions of today. But it is equally as important that we offer protection 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 cal lousness toward the highway pro blem continues. Band in hand with a minimum mimfcer of sound laws belongs strict and impartial enforcement by ex perienced jurors and trained officers. W must also have adequate State patrols composed of men whose pre sence on the highway give a sense of security. Careful selection and training of personnel will assure this type ef patrol. A great number of States already have them in opera tion, . ! Tov widespread contempt for many our foolish and ill-advised motor mwa and regulations is, in my opin ion, one'of the factors contributing to the conditions of today. Certain ly jpi our cities too much time is spent in enforcing- parking laws and too little, time in enforcing more im portant traffic Violations' that retard the movement of vehicles, create congestion,- and, in.turn, cause accidents. Ah accidents on the highways here Jn theTUnitedV States alone caused more than thirty-six thousand deaths. " IV , - t, , i New York Vlr'tor- Jc'-d Mrs. Moore here for t! week ez. f!rs.

Crotalaria Is Good Soil-Buildinff Crop Crotalaria is gaining recognition as a soil-touildmg crop in the sandy areas of the State, said R. L. Lov- vorn, agronomist at State College. This crop, he said, makes a much heavier growth than most of the commonly grown summer legumes on poor, sandy sous, and it is an excel lent soil-builder. At the coastal plain branch experi ment .station at Willard, he continued a corn crop grown in a two-year ro tation with crotalaria produced 89.9 bushels to the acre. 1 a nearby field where corn had been grown every year, the yield was 22. 1 bushels of the acre.
