Salt Lake motorists who think they’re abused by meter maids and policemen handing out parking tickets should thank their lucky stars they don’t live in New York City Daniel Burdett Jr had 123 New York City traffic tickets all but one issued for parking offenses - Burdett works in New York City but lives in New Jersey (he’s married and the father of four) so the only way New York police could catch up with him was to get him in the act A vigilant policeman finally arrested him when he returned to his car overparked in a meter zone— and off he went to court and jail His sentence: Forty days in jail and $2600 fine! He served his 40 days but unable to pay the fine he’s still in jail Magistrate Quinn who sentenced him after branding him a "willful and flagrant violator who has decided that traffic laws are hot for him” says he’ll stay in jail until he serves out the fine at the rate of one day for every five dollars And you think Salt Lake City is rough on parking violators? Visiting Cartoonist cities and in In smaller and middle-sizerural areas such transportation will be of first importance for a long time But in big centers of population the point of diminishing returns' on automobile traffic is approaching Los Angeles reportedly has already passed the point where its traffic problem can be solved by building more and more expressways and parking areas A Fortune Magazine report said the basic dilemma is that building more and more transportation facilities for the private automobile may carve so much space out of the central city core that little worth while will remain George W Barton director of traffic engineering for the Northwestern University Traffic Institute agrees larger metropolitan areas must have vastly improved mass transportation facilities out If " —Mauldin In St A major obstacle to a mass transit solution is that almost without exception city transit services have been in difficulty ever since the end of the war Patronage has declined nearly 60 per cent Many companies have gone out of business Others operate on such narrow profit margins they cannot attract in- vestment capital It will not be easy therefore to finance improved city transit service Nor can increased patronage be assured unless service is much faster than at present Studies show autos on the average move faster than mass transit through cities — 20 miles per hour for the private automobile Jo 13 miles an hour for the streetcar bus or subway People will not shift to mass transit unless it Is fast convenient and economical SOME ANALYSTS believe the answer Is publicly financed monorail systems While a monorail has operated successfully in Wuppertal Germany for more than half a century none has ever been tried in this country on 'a commercial basis But a line is due to begin operation in Seattle next year linking the downtown with the site of the Century 21 - exposition a mile away — — cars will speed Four people to the exposition In 94 seconds Another pilot line Is proposed for Los Angeles linking the new Dodger baseball stadium ami the International Airport Monorail proponents say its advantages are high speed low construction cost compared with subways and the fact that existing rights of way (freeways wide streets or rail routes) can be used without interfering with established uses THIS COULD BE the technological breakthrough Mr Barton talked about The day may be far distant when the Salt Lake City metropolitan area will need some Such rapid transit system But certainly the need is already evident in many larger cities where the rapidly approaching choice s?fems to be central city decay or some revolutionary new way to move people not vehicles in and out of the city For Western Safety Governors of 11 Western states meeting at Sun Valley Idaho unanimously approved a resolution to establish uni- formity in several areas affecting traffic safety The proposal calls for a committee to recommend uniform standards on the issuance of driver licenses on a "point system” for control of licensed drivers on methods of license revocation on general administration of driver licensing programs and on the expansion of highway patrol forces on a population basis Uniformity in driver control is bound to contribute to traffic safety State line do not mean much to motorists in the West' Many thousands of Utahns for example regularly drive into neighboring states on business or pleasure or for other purposes And the traffic moves the other way in approximately equal volume Californians by the thousands come to and through Utah on vacation trips and Utahns return the compliment with trips to the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas It would be helpful if drivers knew that the basic policies relative to driver control were the same in all states One state's greater laxity would not then lead its into trouble when they crossed state lines And uniform standards would help to insure that each state would give due recognition to the judgments and restrictions of another This—unif ormity oLJtrafficpolicics might well extend further into enforcement practices and judicial action Admittedly this is a more difficult area in which to establish uniform practices because of the independence of the judiciary and the variety of law enforcement agencies' But the effort toward uniformity should be made Admittedly the governors are not in a position to bring about such uniformity by administrative action But their leadership could be very helpful in persuading the various enforcement agencies and courts to adopt uniform practices ' We bofpe the moon catches on quickly as a travel magnet Since there is absolutely nothing up there to take pictures of the tourist won’t be able to bring back any color slides Louli Left In a cloud of dust JL A WANT fAAAjA A A European AGAIN AFTERWORLD WARE - 0 visit shchev’s ”r 7 to the United States the issues j of the cold war remain unre- HE WAS NO longer th?

Government farm policy under Roosevelt Truman and Eisenhower has made some two million of the nation’s "commercial” farmers the beneficiaries of "almost all” of the farm subsidy we let financial gain and procrastination influence our law Let’s so write our law that we will save marriages not dissolve them Counseling will be a “farce” if we make it so but otherwise a blessing to our families and to our state RICHARD G THAYNE Provo Utah Wrong In Principle Editor Tribune: I offer this in reply to some of J 0 Christensen’s assertions in the Forum Sept 24 While the “trusts” of the late 19th Century were indeed evil legislation to correct the evils was passed decades ago The great uncontrolled concentration of economic power today lies in the labor unions’ and the feeble law intended to control abuses by labor racketeers passed by the last Congress was not Intended to “break labor’s back” On the contrary it was too weak even to be very effective in ending racketeering in labor unions Mr Christensen seems unaware that Secretary Benson has been charged with the job of enforcing farm policy laws of which the secretary personally does not approve Benson for example went on record as believing it wrong for such as Stanley Yankus to be penalized for disregarding wheat acreage restrictions on which such small farmers as he had been denied the right to vote on grounds that they were “too small to qualify” though not too small to be penalized! I agree with J O that virtually all subsidies including those to agriculture are wrong in principle I' cannot agree that the granting of subsidies to business and the Post Office make it money while denying needy small farmers any help on the ground that they were “too small to qualify” Thus our long-rangfarm has been effectively crowding the little fellow out of the farming business while subsidizing large operunators for producing needed surpluses! Clearly the small farmers the consumers and the public treasury would have all been - better off if there had been no farm aid program!
