Only time to the ha per and Ulla will tell how he may actually behave at the finish In a frenzy of simulated assurance he told his audience of the smelly beer hall and tainted air over which he made the broadcast that the nazis never harmed any nation nor group—"never made a - single demand which might have caused enemies to declare war on Germany"'He also abused Roosevelt in terms that might have been plagerized from speeches of obstructionists in congress and then called upon the "Lord to aid the nazis" henceforth as heretofore It was a masterpiece of mendacity audacity and hypocrisy—a style of oratory in which Hitler excels the sophists swindlers and soap box spielers of all ages and races of mankind Early Action Essential On the Utah Lake Water Issue A number of Utahns have expressed disappointment over failures of the liti- gants in the Utah lake suit to formulate a plan to settle the long dispute as the first step toward building a dike to conserve water for the Salt Lake and central Utah areas Governor Herbert B Maw recently called a meeting of attorneys and representatives of the more than 3000 disputants in this controversy and asked them to draft some compromise program which would permit the prompt settlement lations The coming year will see a still greater reduction in the number of cars plying the highways and byways but the need for careful driving will remain of paramount importance Railroad crossings are always points ofdanger In fact with increased War traffic they hold particular peril for automobiles A crossing crash frequently means more than death or injuries to the occupants of autos it might derail a train full of troops or loaded with critical materials needed badly at some distant paint Such accidents are nothing less than an unconscious form of sabotage While ' the rationing program is designed to keep pleasure driving at a bare minimum there are many stretches of road where the transportation of war workers keeps the traffic at a high level Ft t least during certain periods of the day are Ilikewlie These danger areas and be should approached with the greatest of caution by all drivers Military convoys might be encountered almost any place on main highways and it is up to the private individual or commercial driver to avoid entanglements So in spite of reduced pleasure motoring and the reduction of speeds care common sense and rules of highway safety still demand consideration It is now more than ever the patriotic duty of all drivers to avoid accidents They are costly at any time: in war they might easily accomplish something all Americans wish to avoid 11giving aid and comfort to the entitled of all claims At that time the governor set January 4 as the date for a second meeting when it was hoped that the program - could be examined An announcement from the state capitol that this gathering has been 'indefinitely postponed" sounds ominous for the scheme It may be that more time will be needed to smooth out details and reach a complete understanding But if the postponement of the conference means that litigants in the suit are hopelessly deadlocked then some other method should be tried If legislation is needed to hasten the settlement Governor Maw should direct attention of the lawmakers at the beginning of their coming session to the problem and urge early action If legislation cannot be framed to take care of the situation and if the litigants remain unreconciled then the project must be abandoned Thiswould be a pity and a handicap to progress No thought of giving up such an important project should be entertained however until every means is exhausted Solution of this water problem ought to be on the gover- nor's "must" list New York Highlights By Charles B Driscoll NEW YORE—Diary: When the total collapse of the government's gasoline program hit New York with its rapid succession of hysterical orders directives and directions our car already had been immured in the garage for several days on account of snow The architect who designed our house must have come from the Panama canal He didn't take snow or ice Into account at all and he liked to dig So our garage is not only under the house but is so far under it that you might use it for a Swiss wine cellar if you were Swiss To get down to the fearand had wine some subterranean depths of this strange Daregarage you have to be something like death-defydevil Kilpatrick the who used to drive horseless carriages one-legg- er ed at country through flaming You start down one ramp carnivals turn sharp right in midcourse and go almost That vertically down another ramp can be done by a sober man in good weather You get out of the place by in midday backing steeply up the steeper ramp down a similar ramp that leads to a neighbor's garage and then reverse go forward make a sharp turn and avoid two stone walls Obwhile climbing toward street level viously none of these gymnastics can be performed when there are snow ice dogs or children in or upon any of the ramps I So there our bus stands through snowstorms and bureaucratic brainstorms Let it stand!
