and platforms.
Speculation centered on con-
versations next week between
Myron Blalock chairman' of the
State Democratic Executive!
Committee and Postmaster ;
General James A. Farley Vice-
President Garner and other na-
tional party chieftafls.
Before leaving for Washing-
ton: Blalock said the stage was
set for complete harmony and
cooperation but reports here
hinted at possible discord' chief
over who in effect should lead
the cheering for President
Roosevelt and Garner.
Sources close to Gov. James
V. Allred indicated that he felt
he -should have the leadership
of the Texas delegation to the
national convention at Philadel
phia if he wanted it. Others
said United States Senator Tom
Connally would like the honor.
A possible controversy also
was reported brewing over
whether the national campaign
should be directed by the State
party organization or by a sep-
arate group representing the na-
tional committee. Roy Miller of
Corpus Christi who directed the
national campaign in Texas four
years ago has been mentioned
again' in this connection.
Kirby To Be Barred
State party heads said they
expected no trouble instructing"
the Texas delegation to support
Roosevelt and Garner as a unit.
Spokesmen said they were con-
fident the Vice-President would
continue as national committee-
man without opposition if he so
desired. Garner recently was
named vice-chairman of the na-
tional campaign committee.
Blalock said the State party
would not recognize New Deal
dissenters and indicated that
John Henry Kirby of Houston
veteran political warhorse and
one of the organizers of the
Georgia "grass rroots" conven-
tion at which Gov. Eugene Tal-
unadge was proposed as a presi-
dental nominee would .have no
voice in the party's affairs.
While party officials busiecr
themselves with the national sit-
uation interest mounted in State
politics. Unofficial estimates
placed the total number of can-
didates for offices ranging from
Precinct Weigher and Justice of
the Peace to Governor and Unit
ed States Senator at 20000. The
number of qualified voters may
exceed 1250000.
Four candidates have an-
nounced that they would con-
test Allred's bid for renomina-
tion. They are Senator Roy San-
derford of Belton A. E. Hard-
ing of Ft. Worth F. W. Fischer
of Tyler and A. U. Puckett of
Kaufman County.
Wholly unconfirmed reports
said Tom F. Hunter of Wichita
Falls defeated in th;e 1934 run
off primary again .would be a
candidate and that Senator
Frank Rawlings of Fort Worth

or of Internal Revenue and Coke

No. 8 CITY TRAFFIC
1 JiKnsvBJOTR down from a tall building and walch the tramc in the street
below wo. wonder how in the world nil those cars can keep moving .
along . . . crossing Intersections passing each other turning In and out of
parking positions . . . without getting hopelessly
tangled.
Ad a matter of fact from away up there wo do
xee tralllc Jams now and then and many times the
reasons for the trouble arc just as plain as day.
Someone Will try to turn from a wrong position and
and in a few seconds the whole line ot cars is thrown
out of kilter for blocks. Or a pedestrian will dart out
In front of a car so the driver has to slam on his
brakes and one after another the cars behind havo to
do the same thing. Then there is apt to be a great
blowing of horns that only adds to the confusion.
iiui wncn we occomo part of that tramc 0UF
wholo viewpoint changes. We can't see those things' going on up ahead that
make us stop and start and stop again. And the worst of it is wu can't
look into other people's minds ... the driver
who makes a sudden turn or the pedestrian
who decides to do something wd can't fore-
see. The interesting thing is that what pedes-
trians do may seem strange and illogical
to us while we're driving; but wo're all
leading double lives . . . sometimes drivers
sometimes pedestrians . . . and it's funny
how our psychology changes when we
change from one to the other.
Anyhow things can happen all-of-a-sudden
in our crowded cities and we have
to be ready for them. And so as one driver
has said we have to drive along with every
intersection every aUey every car . . . un
der suspicion. We all like to think it was the other fellow's fault when we get
Into trouble. But as we havo been reminded. If we're suillclentiy alert we
aon't let the other fellow s mistake get us into trouble.
Expert drivers tell us there is just one thing to
do ... to give ourselves a margin of safety ... a re-
icrve of space and a reserve of time.
It'a an easy matter to take a reserve of space.
They point out that we don't have to drive right up
almost bumper-to-bumper with the car ahead. If
we do the chances are we can't stop as quickly as
we may need to ... if he suddenly stops slows up
or makes a turn. But if we drop back a little and
take a little extra room we won't have to worry about
"stopping on a dime" or turning out at right angles
to avoid bumping. And we won't pick up such a flnc
collection of nicked fenders and bent bumpers cither.
But a reasonable Interval ot space or even clear
tailing for that matter won't do us much good if wc don't keep a time margin
of safety too. In other words we don't want to go so fast that we won't have
time to do What we may have to do. AU-of-a-suuden
a car may dash out of a side street and we want to
be sure wc can keep our car and that car from being
in the same place at the same time. And we don't
want to have to stop so fast that cars behind U3 pile
into each other for perhaps a block beck.
Now Just as we need a
safety margin ahead we also
need to protect ourselves from
behind. For instance many
drivers tell us that when they
want to turn or stop they
make it a rule to start at least
two blocks beforehand get-
ting into the right position.
If somebody behind sees them gradually working
over to the right for example why he naturaUy
figures that they're either going to turn or stop. So
he gives them a wide berth to keep out of trouble.
We may all know these things but wo know them
so well we're apt to get careless about them. Because
we can drive almost automatically and hardly have
to even think about It We're apt to go rolling along thinking of something
else. Then all at once our eyes have an Important message far our brain and
when they try to get the message through the line is busy!
So it doesn't pay to let our thoughts go wool-gathor:ng.-As
fact it makes cltv drlvinc lust one craereoncv atler another. wlvfi
