PROMISE LIGHTS “FOR 7 CORNERS
ity Officials Think Signals Will End Guessing at Danger Spots.
By RICHARD LEWIS
Last February, the Safety Board decided to install traffic signals at seven busy and unregulated intersections where motorists play guessing games with each other to get across. As next February nears, the motorists are still guessing. But the lights will be installed soon, it was _ learned at City Hall. In lieu of putting up a traffic light, a stop sign was erected at Ohio and Alabama Sts. by City offi‘cials. Even they have difficulty negotiating this crossing where a traffic light was scheduled to be installed last winter. Seldom guarded by an officer, the intersection is still a problem, offi- _ cials admit. Their technique. is to ‘edge into the intersection cautiously, then shoot across at the first opportunity.
Five Streets to Watch
At Delaware St., Maryland St. and Virginia Ave. the intersection problem is complicated by the fact that the motorist has to watch five traffiz outlets. A light was scheduled
‘East and North Sts. at Massa- . lehusetts Ave. and Kentucky and “Senate Aves. at Georgia St. present similar difficulties. Lights are scheduled for these intersections also. "Other - downtown intersections where lights were scheduled last February but have not yet been installed are Alabama and Market, Sts., Indiana Ave. and Michigan St. _ ‘and Senate Ave, and Ohio St.
Have the Money Now
Last year, nine traffic signals were installed by the City Signal Department. Superintendent John J. McNellis said lack of funds and consequent lack of labor handicapped department operations last year. This year, he said, funds have been provided to make necessary installations. City Streets Commissioner, Wilbur Winship’s winter preparations include large stores of salt and sand and a new “minute-man” method of contacting personnel in the event of icy streets have not, yet béen put to the test. Mr. Winship said that on the
doing so far, he doesn’t believe that winter is going to be a problem for him
" Weather Makes It Easy
#It looks like an open winter,” he said. “Maybe we won't have to contend with the ice and snow as we did last winter.” Despite all his preparations, the Commisisoner asserted he was not disappointed at the weather. In fact, he said, it made him rather
happy.

Gallup Poll Shows 54,000,-
000 Willing to Volunteer Hour a Day. By DR. GEORGE GALLUP
Director. American Institute of Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J. Jan. 20.— The existence of a reservoir of U. S. defense power-<the potentizl cooperation of millions of American men and women in voluntary, parttime defense woik—is revealed today in a nationwide survey of public sentiment, The present survey, just completed by the American Institute of Public Opinion, indicates that approximately 54 | million men and | women out of a | total adult pop- | ulation of some 80 millions are ready to sacrifice at least “an hour a day” from their qwn affairs 70 make the wheels turn faster. The Institute asked a cross-sec-tion of men ang women in| each of the 48 states: “Would you personally be willing to spend an hour each day training for home-guard, nursing, first-aid work, ambulance driving and other defense work?” Two out of-every three persons interviewed in the survey—r approximately 54 mililon men and women if the figures are appiied to the adult population—said “yes.” The actual vote was: Would be willitig ......... 67% Unwilling or unable Undecided
To emphasize the voluntary, unpaid nature of such work, the Institute put a further question to the same individuals—stating the same general idea in different form: “Would you perscnally be willing to spend five hours each week on some kind of defense work without pay?” There was virtually no difierence in the public response to the. second question. Sixty-six per cent said “yes,” 23 per cert “no,” and phe remaining 11 per cént were undecided or without an opinion on the question. What use the country médkes of this potential réservoir of civilian energy depends, of course, on what crisis the United States mgy face in the months ahead. It also depends on the drafting of pivilian programs, either officially or py citizen groups, in which such aiid could be enlisted. Confirms Greneral Mood ‘Yet the reveletion of the public's willingness to contribute tirne and effort is striking confirmation of the gereral mood of the American people as they enter 1941. Institute surveys have recently shown that the public is dissatisfied with the speed of defense preparations, that the great majority think both business and labor shoud think of defense first and wages and profits second, and that the average American is personally ready to dig inte pocket for consiclerable extra taxes. Since many civilian defense occupations woudl be open to women, such as first-aid training, sewing and nursing, it is interestng to note that the question drew even more “yeses” from ‘women than from men. The replics of men and women were:
Dr. Gallup
will- TUn- | Uning willing decided 22% | 12% ! ... 68 22 ( 10 If these figures are applied to the population, they indicate something like 27% million women and 26% million men saying they would be willing to give at least an hour a day for defense training. According to ed Cross Chairman Norman Davis, more than 600,000 persons—mostly women—are already enrolled in civilian assistance divisions of the Red Cross, and are now largely occupizd with speeding clothing and meclical supplits to war sufferers oyersess. .

Facts about cemocracy (will be poured into Germany, Ifaly and Russia to perscis listed in ihe telephone directories of Berlin, Rome, Moscow and otlier cities, C. D. Jackson of the Council for Democracy said today. The purpose, Mr. Jackson said, was to test th: efficacy of the International Postal Agreement whereby the United States and other signatory countries have engaged themselves to deliver mail. Millions of Nazi propaganda leaflets and letters, he charged, were being poured into ths United Stetes, and delivered to their destination at the expense of the American taxpayer. Since the United States Government cannot | violate its treaty agreement by refusing to deliver the material, Mr. Jackson| said, it was necessary to reciprocate with “our own propaganda.” The council, he said, would not take sides in the war nor attack the Governments concerned, but would “tell the simple truth ‘of how Democracy works in the United States.” Besides testitig the International Postal Agreemient, Mr. Jackson added, “we would be pleased if this news reaches People over there.”

Gladys Heathcock in Ist Recital;
Swarthout Appearance Delayed
Heathcock undeniably is. But they were all present on the program which Miss Heathcock presented at the World War ‘Memorial yesterday. And she threw in such substantial tests of power as the Chopin Etude Opus 25, No. 1, Ravel's “Jeux d’Eau” and Liszt's “La Campanella” for good measure. . Her recital began with two Scarlatti sonatas and the “Nina Aria” of Pergolese, and the slow movement of a Converse sonata provided her with a breathing spell in the final group. Not: only, then, was Miss Heathcock’s task of virtuoso proportions, but it developed that the bigger they were the harder they fell before the young pianist’s commanding technique. This, I am sure, was Miss Heathcock’s first public recital here since she joined the Tudor Hall music faculty more than three years ago. The impression left by yesterday's performance was a good one. To catalog her pianistic virtues would be to say that she has strength, dexterity and accuracy. Her sense of musical “architecture” is particularly acute, and the unity to her conception of a composition is reflected in intelligent emphasis and well graduated climaxes. There was no doubting that she is a sericus and informed ‘ musician, or that she has the digital equipment to solve the most thorny technical snares. In fact, only one quality was conspicuously absent, ' but that was an extremely important one. Her = performance was almost waolly devoid of warmth and, except for the Beethoven sonata, one gathered the impression that none of the music on the program touched her very deeply. With-
Souling brass and tinkling cymals The afternoon’s peak playing wasachieved in the “Apassionata.” Miss Heathcock’s performance had energy and passion and conviction. But the second movement rather suffered from an attempt to overdress the music's simplicity and nobility. And the final movement was started at a pace which couldn’t or shouldn't be maintained. The audience was small, but ex« tremely enthusiastic in its ape< plause, # 2 = Martens Concerts patrons probably know by this time that Gladys Swarthout’s scheduled recitel at English’s has been post« poned. The flu epidemic caught up with the glamorous, darkhaired inezzo soprano and she was forced to cancel her appearance Saturday afternoon. Have ing informed the newspapers, the Martens office then spent a busy Saturday night calling its list of subscribers. Miss Swarthout will fill her engagement as soon as a mutually convenient date can be found— probably next month. ‘Tickets for tonight will be honored, of course, at the later recital.
JAPAN MAY RESTRICT BOOK EXPORTATION
TOKYO, Jan. 20 (U. P.)—Japan, which is considering measures to keep foreign books, except those on technical problems, out of the country, is also considering control of export of Japanese books, magazines and pamphlets to make sure that only the right ones get abroad, it was reported today. The newspaper Nichi Nichi saic that the Cabinet Information Bureau was considering the control in order to increase the export of “good” books which “would serve as silent ambassadors for international understanding.”

HOLLYWOOD
Shirley Comes Out of ‘Retirement’; Flynn's Bow Ties Cause Lots of Worry
ment of her retirement at the age
lections of her brief venture into private life. She found time to do a lot of things she never got around to doing while she was the film colony’s biggest box office attraction.
Miss Temple earned a sizable collection of Campfire Girl merit badges, lost her tonsils, went to a lot of parties, learned to type, started sketching, acquired a candid camera, and took part in several amateur theatricals. Most important, she went to school—regular day school. But all that round of pleasure doesn’t fit into the scheme of a young lady who is determined to become an actress, as Miss Temple is. She has a one-year contract to work for Metro, which is confident it can bring her back to the top. Metro believes public interest in the actress who was still in fifth place in the box office ratings when she retired, hasn't slumped much. Officials believe her skid is attributable to 20th-Fox’s inability to find proper vehicles for her, ” 4 8 Visiting the set of “Footsteps in the Dark,” I found consternation practically rampant. Almost everybody except Errol Flynn was sitting around worrying about a bow tie. This mystery flicker is Mr. Flynn's first modern-dress role in three years. He is providing his own wardrobe. Somebody in the front office saw the rushes and sent a horrified communications to the set. Mr. Flynn, it pointed out, is wearing a bow tie. Jack Warner doesn’t like bow ties. Hal Wallis, studio production chief, has an almost violent aversion to bow ties.

But I discovered that on the day the picture started he had rushed down town and bought a dozen.
