TIHE MICHIGAN DAILY . WEDNEgTA Y, NOVEMBER 20, 1935 -V State Aids In Drive To Curb Toll By Traf fic Three State Officials And Gov. Fitzgerald Pledge Support To Drive Advocate Reforms Governor Seeks Stricter Requirements For Auto Drivers' Licenses LANSING, NOV. 19.-(P)--Four agencies of the state government to- day were behind the campaign to curb the toll of traffic on Michigan highways. The statewide safety campaign was spurred Monday night when four state officials, including Gov. Fitz- gerald, pledged their support to the drive and advocated reforms designed to make the traffic lanes safer for the motorist and pedestrian. The state government, through four of its officials, put its power behind the campaign at a safety mass meet- ing here. "It is nice to generalize and say the highways are the property of all the people," said Gov. Fitzgerald. "But we all know the use of our highways should not be available to those who cannot use them without endanger- ing the lives of others." Suggests Physical Exam As a remedy he advocated a tight- ening of requirements for obtaining a drivers license. He suggested phys- ical examinations and a provision that applicants must have a thor- ough knowledge of traffic laws and be familiar with handling a machine. He also urged frequent inspections of automobiles and declared that the educational campaign authorized by the administrative board will be pressed. "If drivers don't drive right after this campaign of education it will be because they don't care to or be- cause they lack the physical or men- tal capacity to handle a motor vehicle with due regard to the rights of others." May Deny Licenses Through a system being launched by the department of state petty traffic offenders may find a barrier to renewing their licenses, it was an- bounced by Secretary of State Orville E. Atwood. He said that a record of minor accidents is being compiled and urged enforcing officials to report all such incidents to his department. "The time is not far distant when an applicant will be denied a license merely because a study of his driving record has convinced the department he is not the right kind of driver to turn loose on the highway," Atwood asserted. "A bad automobile record is as much a disgrace as a bad police record. Cars can kill more than crime." Announces New Survey State Highway Commissioner Mur- ray D. Van Wagoner announced that a million dollar traffic survey was launched Monday with the aid of Federal funds. A study of conditions with a view to eliminating hazards will be the aim, he said. A campaign of education in the schools was promised by Eugene B. Elliott, state superintendent of public instruction. The campaign will be designed to have children carry safety lessohs home to their parents. Relentless pursuitand sure pun- ishment of traffic violators are neces- sary if the traffic toll is to be lessened, Judge John J. Maher, of the Detroit traffic court, told the audience at the meeting. WHITE TO SPEAK A talk by Prof. Albert E. White, di- rector of engineering research, will feature the third meeting of the A. S.

Gives Helpful Advice To Students In Composing' Job-Hunting Letters, An article entitled "Dear Sir:", written by Prof. A. D. Moore of the electrical engineering department and, featured in the November issue of the Michigan Technic, begins a new ser- ies of Technic articles concerning the croblems of employment as they must be met by engineering students. The November Technic went on sale yesterday in the first-floor cor- ridors of the West and East Engi- neering buildings at its regular price of 15 cents. , Professor Moore's article gives helpful advice to engineering stu- dents on the best methods of writing a "job-hunting letter." He intro- duces his article with the remark "You do not know how to write a job- hunting letter," and then proceeds to describe in full detail how such let- ters should be written. He lays great- est stress on the presentation of the job-seeker's personal record in the proper form and with the correct factual material that should be in- cluded. In inaugurating the employment series, Professor Moore states: "Al- though the articles are addressed to seniors, the hope is that no freshman will pass them by. We can define a good senior in 1939 as a man who learned certain things about the job- getting business back in 1935, and began working on himself right away."

Arrow Tie (Value, $1.50) Junius B. Wood, former foreign and special correspondent for thei Chicago Daily News, who only recent- ly resigned after 30 years in the serv- ice of that paper, discussed foreign news from the correspondent's view- point in an interview before his ad- dress on "Your Foreign News" to the University Press Club of Michigan here last Friday. "Censorship is a natural feature of all dictatorship," he stated, when1 asked what difficulties the European correspondent encountered now that he did not meet earlier in the cen- tury. He pointed out that since the Nazi regime had begun in Ger- many, several English and Czecho- slovakian newsmen had been asked to leave the country, but only one American, Dorothy Thompson (Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) had been barred, al- though Edgar Ansel Mowrer had been warned that "it might be better for him to leave." He also cited several cases of such disbarrment of journalists in Fascist Italy. "Even in France," he pointed out, "the censorship is pretty strict now." "They're all on a war basis now," he said, when asked if censorship conditions approached the war-time regulations. As the chief qualification for for- eign corresponding service, he speci- fied newspaper experience, obtained either in this country or as "leg-man" in one of the European posts. He suggested a background training in history, current and past. political science, and the necessary languages. He maintained that foreign news, now as it always has been, is colored by the policies of the individual news- papers handling it here in this coun- try.
