New Strike of Auto Workers Threatens Crisis ^ .
CAR TESTS'. DRrvenS MILWAUKEE, (UP) — This rity , hopes to reduce its $ .10,000 annual repair bill for municipally owned mo- 1 tor vehicles involved in accidents by testing city employes in a “guinea j
pig” automobile.
The to:t “car” was perfected by 1 city engineers and electricians under the direction of Dr. Sadie M. Shellow. police department psychologist. They worked more than three years to provide a test machine to determine a driver’s ability and to simu-
late traffic conditions.
The driver being tested sits in a I seat similar to an automobile seat j behind a steering wheel. He fares a J glass screen set in darkened walls. | Behind him are officials beside a j row of buttons. They push one. A ' green arrow appears on the screen -
and darts across perkily.
A second arrow is controlled by the ' steering wheel. The test for the I driver to determine his ability fo concentrate and to follow and his judge of speed and distance is to keep the second arrow within an inch of the first arrow for 10 minutes. To complicate the driver’s task and to simulate traffic conditions different colored lights blink from the side of the driver who must call out the

Threat of a showdown in the labor situation involving C. I. O. forces seeking to organize automobile workers and employers loomed as another important unit in the industry, the Fisher Body Co. plant at Cleveland, was tied up by a sit-down strike. While . sympathizers picketed outside,
workers remained inactive at their posts. The Cleveland strike was seen by some as part of a plan of strategy by union forces to compel automobile manufacturers to come to their terms by tieing up the industry at “bottleneck” poiqts along the production line.

The test determines whether a driver has “tunnel eyes,” the inventors explained. Acting Inspector Hugo Goehlen said that is an affliction of the vision which make it imposisble for some people to detect objects on either side when their eyes are focused straight ahead. “While driving along a street in which there is heavy traffic, it is necessary for the driver to keep eyes straight ahead,” Goehlen said. “A child running out from the curb at the side of the moving car is often not seen by drivers with poor side vision.” By giving city employes who drive municipally owned trucks and motor cars these tests, officials hope to improve their efficiency. They also bc-
owned vehicles involved in accidents. Police squad car drivers and motorcycle policemen were first on the
list for tests.

For a moment be struggled with temptation. Then he laid down the book, placed the glass on the mantel and tried to imitate bis father's famous high note. The glass remained unmoved. Again and again, louder and louder, he tried, unaware that he was rousing the entire dormitory. At last he stopped exhausted, only to be greeted by a loud rsszberry from a group of students who had gathered in the
doorway.

shaking his head.
"Well, my father does It,” his redfaced roommate protested. “Not that kind of a glass, stupid,” Paddy answered gently. “It’s as thick as your head.” He started to unwrap a package which he had brought and finally revealed a toy

“Who’s talking," muttered Dutch feebly. Then, as he caught sight of the donkey. "What's this—a family portrait?” “This Is Oscar, the Green Itldgo

"Dear Miss Reynolds,’’ he wrote, "This is a very delicate matter. In fact, I’m leading with my chin getting mixed up In It. But when a guy hasn’t got sense enough to act for himself—a greater, firmer mind has to take over. Paddy’s so crazy about you he can't sleep nights. I think you ought to do something about it, like coming to a game and giving him a hand just in case the coach gets softening of the brain and puts him in. O’Riley’s not a bad football player and a good guy, and I’m sorry to state you must be pretty dumb to give him the big

Dutch went to bed again and slept the sleep of the righteous. » • • • Oscar, the mascot, seemed for some strange reason to be just what Green Ridge had been waiting for. The team, which usually acquitted itself well, hut seldom displayed championship form, began going through It’s fall schedule like a battering ram. W. & J. was taken Into the fold 27 to 0; Navy collapsed, 14 to 6; Penn followed, 20 to 13. And each winning score was duly lettered upon the donkey’s side in India ink. "I hope Ossie, the pride of Sierra, reads the papers," Dutch remarked one Saturday night as he, Paddy, and several other players were worshipping their mystical mascot. “If he read ’em today he saw one for his own book,” said Russell, Oreen Ridge’s hefty center. “Sierra 40; Monterey 0.” “A set-up," grunted Dutch. “Those set-ups are going to fool around and make him All-American fullback.

The fullback stopped short and looked toward the door, feeling foolish. The others turned quickly. Soapy Moore, the coach, stood there surveying them dourly. “Those games have all been played, boys,” he said as he walked toward the center of the room. “Let's talk about the one that’s Just ahead of us . . , the toughest nut on our schedule . . . the one we’ve got to win.. ..

Goes to Congress in Wheelchair
Forced to campaign from a wheelchair, Arthur W. Aleshire of Springfield, O., staged a successful race for congressman from his district, and takes his place in the new congress convening next month despite a physical handicap which many would have thought insurmountable to a political career. Injuries received in an automobile accident some years ago left Aleshire paralyzed from the waist down. Despite his disability, Aleshire built up a successful gasoline station business, operating his stand from a wheelchair, and won hundreds of friends whose votes helped get him his new
lob as congressman.
