KIMARD “Well, I hed to lose some points, but the officer was so nice •bout it, that I cannot get mad with anybody but myself.” The speaker had just been stopped for reckless driving, fcven though he had to be penal ized he was fair enough to pay a compliment to our state highway patrolman, • word of praise in which many of us motorists sham Our highway patrolmen are trained to be alert and efficient It is their duty to promote safety on the road. But they are cour teous and understanding. They know how to use good judgment In their performance of duty they enhance respect for the highway system. They are not out to see jifcm many offenders they can find but how many lives and how much property they can help pro tect Th estate highway depart ment is to be commended for the high calibre of these officers. One motorist who does much driving as a part of his work said recent ly, “I always feel better when IJ I J___ see a patrol car on the road for I;|/Gm0 LGdQClS know there is a friend ready to a help me if I need him." There seems to be convincing enough evidence available that the point system has made driv ing on our highways safer. That is the record also in other states using the plan. The program has been devised not for punishment but for pro tection. The careful and effic ient driver should not have his life imperilled by a careless or incompetent one. The point sys tem is to safeguard the traveler who dirves safely. tl is to be hoped that the nec essary steps will soon be taken to remove any legal difficulties in the way of the proper enforce ment of this program.

His support virtual ly assures congressional approval by the 84th Congress which con venes Wednesday. <. “I think we will have to ex tend the present corporation and excise tax rates for another year,” the veteran Texas Demo crat said in an interview. Rayburn, who will be 73 years old Thursday, was first ‘elected speaker on Sept 16, 1940. He has served in that position longer than any other man in history. The only interruptions in his service as speaker came during 1947-49 and 1953-54 when Re publicans controlled the House. Rayburn’s support is consider ed decisive because he is looked upon by many as the top man in his party in the new Congress. His reelection as speaker will make him No. 2 man in line for the presidency, with only Vice President Richard M. Nixon ahead of him.
