For Better Traffic Movement

AYOR BAYT'S traffic seems to us to be starting in ‘the right direction.

Certainly “one-way’’ streets are an annoyance to a few / to people, and there are many reasons why it is undesirable

the streets. In proposing both those remedies, however, the Mayor has had to weigh the convenience of a few motorists against the welfare of the great majority . and he has decided, quite properly, we believe, that the interests of the majority are more important. ” = = Ld x »

INDIANAPOLIS “rush hour” each day is a very short one , . . but severe. Outbound cars are jammed for many blocks, thousands of downtown workers spend an extra half hour a day getting to work and getting home . . . often for no better reason than that some indifferent driver has left his car parked where the law says it shouldn't be parked. _ The 32 fine he'd pay if he did get tagged . . . which he often doesn’t. . clearly doesn't deter"him. A wath higher pe nalty s..0revena tow-in... may be the only solution. Establishment of some one-way thoroughfares already has helped materially to speed traffic flow. A lot more can be done in that direction. Some cities make certain streets “one-way just at peak traffic hours . , . and permit normal use at all other hours . .. which might also be worth examining here. ;

Criminal Negligence

JORMAL éstablish t cause of the gruesome Long Island Railroad wreck, in which 77 persons died.. But the fundamental question is why such intolerable conditions were permitted to develop and continue in connection with the road's operation. The road, bankrupt for well over a year, was being operated under a triple-headed jurisdiction: The. State Public Service Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission and a Federal District Court which had appointed two bankruptcy trustees. Long before it had failed financially, the Long Island's inefliciency had become a byword, the butt of wry jokes and the despair of its many thousands of patrons. Its cars were musty museum pieces. Breakdowns were numerous and safety equipment limited. : : Though it operated over one of the most congested and vital arteries of the world's biggest metropolitan area, and boasted of carrying more passengers daily than any other" railroad, it did not install the devices necessary for their protection. Reforms and improvements, often promised, were never forthcoming. : The Thanksgiving Eve wreck was the road's third in nine months. Thirty-three were killed and 125 injured last February. In another accident, 47 were injured. emer NeWFork-is-stumed-by te TEtest tag le-denonT stration of criminal negligence somewhere. Says the New York World-Telegram and The Sun, wrathfully: “Now is the time for drastic action against the offic jals responsible. The public is not going to be satisfied with blaming the dead engineer or some minor railroad employee. “The district attorney, as we see it, should seek man- _ slaughter indictments against the top brass—the operators of the road which has such woefully inadequate safety regulations or equipment and the puluic ¢ officials who have not compelled safer operation. “A rough course? Yes, but it seems the ily ¢ one likely to place responsibility for the tragedies where they belong and prevent catastrophes in the future.

(Here is a_ Thanksgiving Day note written by Bernard M. Baruch. It was not intended for publication, “but we think it too good te withhold.—FEditor)

OY THIS Thanksgiving Day, re-reading the Ten C ommandments and the Sermon on the Mount, I find them still basic to human happiness and well-being, and I am thankful . Contemplation of the. Constitution ‘and of our institutions and freedoms confirms my belief that we have the best government in the world, and Iam thankful. Restudying additional subtraction and division, I still think they are correct, and I am thankful, As 1 view the wait-and-see, business-and- -politics-as-usual attitude toward the menace of communism and. its chief ally, inflation, I wonder whether we are gaining anything while we are losing our souls: Freebooting is not a good substitute for free: enterprise. Nor are appeasement of pressure groups and profiteering - good substitutes for-the profit system If we do not accept temporary denials and restrictions ‘we will be exchanging our heritage as a free people for a mess of pottage of fictitious and fleeting prosperity.

If we lose, we lose forever the building of ja peaceful world. :

vigorous moves to unsnarl rush-hour

Arabic fable of the persuasive camel, _At the outset he only wanted to warm his nose inside the, tent. Eventually he moved An, tail and all.” " The Chinese Communist camel, which hus had his nose inside the flaps for some time, is now in the United Nations tent about as far as the shoulders-—thanks to a new invitation. There may be more come-on next week.

That depends on how persuasively the Chi-"

nese Red delegation from Peking can bluff the United Nations majority by pressing PekingMoscow charges of Americar aggression against

~ China and Korea.

Warfare Threat

THE most persuasive advantage held by the Communists is a threat of continued and expanded warfare in Korea against the United Nations forces. Four leaders of the Red delegation discussed. “practical matters” in a 40-minute session with Secretary-General Trygve Lie during which they also presented credentials for their party of nine. Mr, Lie would not elaborate on those “practical matters.” Meanwhile the Political and Security committee of the General Assembly adopted a Russian resolution inviting the Chinese Reds to participate in committee consideration of Russia’s own charge of American aggression against China. This | the committee did overwhelmingly after turning down a Chilean amendment which would have stated, “this invitation in no way prejudges either the merits of the question

The British Sunbathers Association announces it ‘hopes to take the shirts right off the backs of 700,000 foreign visitors next year. And then some! ea
