ARD LEWIS

Efforts to cut the City’s mounting traffic toll took

new direction today as officia

Is sought to correct ete

tion hazards and to relieve downtown congestion.

Safety Board members point program attacking the, neering rather than an enforcement angle, Board members proposed:

1. Revision of preferential streets on the North and East Sides. 2. Installation of 18 new stop-go signals throughout the city. 3. Removal of nine safety zones downtown to facilitate the flow af traffic now bottle-necked at intersections where zones are located. The three measures were .described by Police Chief Michael Morrissey as “essential protective measures.” At each of the intersections where traffic signals are to be installed and at each change in preferential streets, the police department conducted a survey on which the Chief's recommendations were based. -

Parkway Preference Reversed

On the East Side, the hoard proposed to make Brookside Ave. preterential from 10th St. to Parker Ave. except at Rural St. and 20th | St.—the continuation of Brookside Ave.—preferential from Parker to Olney Aves.

NAZI AIRLINE ADDS T0 BRAZIL INTERESTS

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 18 (TU. P.).—An agreement. between tlie German owned Condor airhne and the Snapp—a Brazilian owned river navigation company—for whe coordination and development of aerial and river transportation in the Amazon Valley has caused concern in United States circles here New York interests believed the agreement may be the forerinners of a wide exlension of German airline operations in South America. The agreement presumably aims to make the vast unexplored regions of the upper Amazon and its triLutaries accessible to European markets ana will eventually link up Colombia, Fcuador, and Peru with “Atlantic ports.

(CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 16 (U. P.).— Don’t rule out a possible Nazi attempt to invade England this fall! That’s the advice of ITugh Baillie, president of the United Press. Any feeling that “the season is too late for an attempt is a delusion that should be shattered right now,” he {told the Cleveland Chamber of Com-

merce yesterday. Even in Germany, the possibility of ‘an attempt is not ruled out, Mr. Baillie said. He quoted a cablegram from Fred Oechsner, United Press manager in Berlin, which said: “The idea that the Nazi High Command will defer an invasion attempt. and allow the main theater of war to shift southward toward the Mediterranean area is gaining circulation in Berlin, But this may just be a psychological diversion and the invasion effort may still be made.” Mr. Baillie pointed out that the intensity of present air raids on England, coupled with the fact that distracting noises are heing made in other directions, such as the Balkans, Fgypt and the Orient, “should make it evident that a0 invasion may yet be attempted this year wow 8 - FRENCH naval official who knows thie Channel very well has advised us that he helieves an invasion would still be possible between Oct. 25 and Nov. 25, when there generally is a favorable break in the weather from eight to 10 days between two bad storms. “At that time every year there «is an oily, calm gea, and in addition there would he fog 10 cover the operation, and there would be the advantage of the long night. “The Germans,r Who requisitioned 150 French river harges to carry tanks across the Channel, fixed a. delivery date of Oct. 1 for structural steel material ordered from firms in northern France to be used to make a plat= form on the barges to support the tanks. So they started construct ing their tank ferries only 15 days ago. The Germans are continuing to regard France north of the Somme as a military zone and are refusing to allow French refugees to return to their homes in this

area, Which is regarded as the base area for the ‘invasion of England. “Of course, even if the Germans established a foothold in England, I do not imagine they would find the going easy as they have in other countries, where the defense was so heavily undermined .- by bribery, sabotage and Fifth Column activities.” - BR RITAIN'S chief problem now, : said Mr: Baillie, is “the maintenance of a supply of airplane pilots. He read a cablegram from Wallace Carroll, London U. P. managers which sajd: “The fighter and bomber strength of the Royal Air Force increase despite slowness of American. deliveries. New types of planes are expected to enter service during the coming months, including big longrange hombers whose performance will exceed that of the Boeing flying fortress, and fighters faster and more formidably armed than the eight-gun Spitfire and Hurricanes. “However, in reckoning numerical strength, it is more important to count pilots than planes. Raw material can be converted into a bomber in less than three months, but it takes nine months to produce a pilot up to R. A. F. specifications. “The big problem on the operational side is how to deal with night bombers. and mists have made daylight

interception more difficult than in the summer, and that, together {with the new German tactics of using fighters as bombers, has accounted for the small German losses and the higher ratio of British casualties in planes. “Fighter-bombers, however, are able. to carry only an insignificant’ bomb load and fheir work so far has not been impressive. On the other hand night bombers are becoming more destructive than before. Despite the optimism of the British press in the past fortnight I have not seen any sign that the British have found anything to check night bombers. Higher-ups, however, hold ‘out hope that something new will make its appearance at the end of October or the beginning of November.” : * » ” 2 ERMAN officials, too, are confident, according to Mr. | Oechsner’s cablegram, which said: “We are presently experiencing | one of those uncomfcrtable political lulls which come even amidst wars. The blitzkrieg tempo conditioned Europe to new shocks | practically every minute and any pause is bound to raise apprehension or suspicion. “The fact that the Luftwaffe thus far has not beaten Britain into submission or even softened ' her up enough to make possible the invasion has unquestionably caused surprise in wide sections of the public here. $ “Those dates on which bets | were placed marking the conclu- ! sion of the war—mostly early Oc-
