REDUCTION OF WEIGHT WILL

Foundations of Utmost
importance In High
ways, He Adds.
B&bson Park, Fla., March 14.—I
have had so many letter from read
ers, “pro and con", regarding my
column in this paper about high
.ways—(see January 18, 1952)—that
I have collected
In this connection, state officials
say that ignoring and crossing
dodble solid lines is responsible for
most of the bad accidents.
The real “hogging" is done by us
privately owned car drivers who
park on streets from which trucks
are excluded. Furthermore, this
parking by us is so choking the
downtown business streets that—
if not forbidden—it will severely
harm retail trade and depress the
some .more facts value of business property. I am
‘ very serious about this and—if
which for two rea
sons I should pass
along to my read
ers. First, because
I was perhaps un
fair to the trucks,
and second, be

submit a construc
tive suggestion to
Borer W. Babtoa road “builders.
My first job after graduating
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology as a Civil Engineer
was to build State Highways. I
I s< on learned that the politicians
waf.t to spend money on the
BLACK TOPS WHICH CAN BE
SEEN instead of on the highway
foundations WHICH THE VOTERS
DO NOT SEE. Then when a road
cracks, these politicians blame it on
the motor'vehicles.
That these politicians are wrong
is proven by driving along’ any
state roads with cracks or patches.
If at. were the-motor vehicles which
caused the cracking, then every
slab or section would be cracked or
patched. The fact that only a few
are cracked or patched proves that
the foundation was skimped at cer
tain points when being built. Let
me here add that in 1950 motor ve-
' hides paid about three billion dol
lars in taxes.
'Hogging" the Roads

horn, or if they cross two solid
lines painted on the center of a
space permitted—would like ,to

What About More Legislation?

Backers Predict
Eisenhower Will
Return To Speak
Washington, March 18.—Key po
litical strategists backing Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower for Presi
dent are saying, he will return from
Europe in time to do some public
speaking during the campaign to
nominate him on the Republican
ticket.
That’s the way they put it—as
suredly that he is coming home
before the party’s July nominating
convention; uncertainly as to just
when and speculatively as to the
role hp may play.
They say this despite the gen-
Senator Brown
Asks Democrat
Chair In State
Barnwell, March 15.—State Sen.
Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, an
nounced today his candidacy for
chairmanship of the South Caro
lina Democratic Party Executive
Committee.
Brown, a long-time friend of
Gov. Byrnes, says he shares the po
litical views of - Democratic presi
dential nominee Candidate Sen.
Richard Russell of Georgia.
“ My name will be offered at the
coming state convention at Co
lumbia April 16,” Brown said at his
office here, “for chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee.”
The state senator, a party wheel-
horse of the last 38 years, has serv
ed since 1914 on ~the executive
committee, and as its chairman
once during thah time.
“If elected,” he said, *“it shall
be my purpose to strengthen the
party organization in the state. I
share the political .views of Senator
Russell, Governor Byrnes and Sen
ator Byrd (D-Va).”

Significantly perhaps, questions
regarding exact timing and precise
role have been unanswered here os
conferences quite possibly dealing
with those matters were being held
at Eisenhower’s Paris headquar

Arriving from the United States
full of enthusiasm about Eisenhow- i
three legitimate purposes for the
regulation of highway traffic: (1)
Safety of all cars and persons; (2)
Honest foundations for all roads;
and (3) Making both trucking and
railroad rates so as to be fair to
every business and section. When
railroads or trucks object to any of
these, goals, they are “hogging'’
legislation.
It surely would seem reasonable I er » s v j c t or y over Sen. Robert A.

The Real Solution
Both the protection of our high
ways and lower taxes will come
from the discovery of some alloy
which will partially reduce the pull
of gravity. Studies to accomplish
this are being encouraged by the

Taking time-out between calls is the spirit of shar
ing thateMtkes-party-line-servic^frien^ ^
Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a
famous 19th century German artist,
was known for the high spiritual
quality of his paintings. It is relat
ed that when he lay dying, he
called one of his disciples to his
side and said: “Our calling as art
ists is, indeed, a noble one. Still,
God will not ask us whether we
when our life draws to a close,
k^ave left beautiful pictures to pos
terity. He will look, rather, to see
whether He can still recognize in
us His own unspoiled image.’’
The human body is one of the
masterpieces of God’s creation. But
the body’s beauty is nothing com
pared with that which God in
fuses into the soul at the moment
of conception. It is man’s duty to
keep that soul pure and beautiful
so that eventually it may be fit
to return to the hands of its Creat
or.
The soul is beautiful because it is
made in the image and likeness of
God. But sin can blight its beauty
in an instant. The soul then ceases
to be a joy in the sight of God and
becomes instead a thing of cor-1
ruption and ugliness.
Yet such is the love and mercy |
of God that even the most sin-1
blackened soul- can turn to Him in
repentance and become restored to j
its original purity. Sin is death to!
the soul, but onjy so long as thej
sinner refuses To)?heed God's invi
tation to turn tp Him in humble;
sorrow and submission.

such future trucks will be made of
an alloy which will partially de

contents of the trucks thus reduc-
