Exdttsivo Nttkmal Advirtising Representotivt I GrCATIR WciKlIES I I' New York « Chicago • Detroit * Philadelphia | THE GOVERNOR’S VETO Our ihat is off to Governor Thurmond, for he met his first test with the legislature by vetoeing the reso lution passed by both houses of the assembly which would have postponed compulsory auto inspection for another year. In his veto message the governor said that if inspection of motor vehicles saved but one life during the year, it was worthwhile. In this connection he cited many accidents of the past year, due it is claimed, to defects in cars. . This newspaper believes that the time has ar rived to resume inspection, halted during the war. This paper believes that every car using the public highways should have good lights, a horn, good brakes and safe steering apparatus. It is gratifying that Governor Thurmond regards public lives above petty politics. For that is just what the delayed inspection is—cheap politics. RUSSIA A DANGEROUS THREAT * • • For over a year now, we have experienced gen uine alarm over the Russian sittiation. Some of our friends have agreed with us but there have have been many others who regarded us as an alarmist. They "pooh-hooed the idea of war with Russia. Now that Ambassador Bullitt, who knows the Russian people and administration, has spoken out, we are, frankly speaking, scared. Mr. Bullitt bluntly told a congressional coinmittee that if Russia had had the atomic bomb, they would have dropped several on us long before this. Mr. Bullitt said that Russia plans to conquer this country and the world. We believe he speaks a truth. We admit we are scared. * ' OUR MIND IS MADE UP The Chronicle has always stood for the city man ager form of city government. We believe that a well-paid, competent expert in charge of city affairs would not only be the ideal set up for Camden, but it would promote the growth of the community immeasurably. The city manager form of government program has been mentioned a number of times, but as yet we have hot' seen anj^ing of a definite nature shaping up. The first step, in our opinion, would be an enabling act by the state assembly, whereby Camden could sub mit the matter to a public referendum. Let us show that all this talk about the city-man ager form of city government is not idle chatter.
