JUSTS'III TIM
Washington, Feb. 28. (UP)
—President Roosevelt Mon-
day ma^sitrj]_t>ie Sumners bill,
enabling supreme court jus-
tices to retire at 70 on full pay,
shortly after the high tribunal
reconvenes to announce deci-
sions which may have far-
reaching effect cn new deal
legislation.
Lacking only the signatures
of Vice President John N.
Garner and Mr. Roosevelt, the
bill will, for the first time in
history, safeguard the pensions
of those who leave the su-
preme bench.
The court, which has been
conferring in secret on its de-
cisions and writing opinions
for two weeks, reconvenes at
noon with three important
new deal issues pending. One
—the Wagner labor relations
act—is so recent that a deci-
sion is unlikely although pos-
sible.

Many States Now
Have Standard and
Safe Driven’ Law
Chicago, Feb. 28.—W. H.
Cameron, managing director
of the National Safety Coun-
cil, today gave his answers to
a few “puzzlers” that are
bothering citizens of 24 states
whose legislatures are current-
ly considering control of their
traffic accident problems
through standard drivers’ li-
cense laws.
Cameron said that since the
first of the year when law-
makers convene in those states,
the Council has been “flood-
ed” with queries from indi-
vidual motorists, farmers and
city officials who wondered
what effect the proposed li-
cense would have on them.
“Twenty states and the Dis-
trict of Columbia now have
standard drivers’ license
laws,” said Cameron, “and
they are working beautifully
—weeding ont grossly incom-
petent drivers, impressing
others with the need of safety
and educating the general
public to safe habits of driv-
ing and walking. Hundreds of
persons who otherwise would
have died in traffic accidents
in those states are alive today
because of a standard drivers’
license law.”
San Antonio. Bobbitt was des-
ignated chairman.
—UP—
In the state railroad com-
mission , another three member
body with overlapping terms,
the chairmanship is also ro-
tated. But in this commission,
a member becomes chairman
for his last two years, not his
first two. The theory'is that
four years experience best fits
him for the chairmanship.
The railroad commission
plan has also a practical poli-
tical advantage. It gives the
member the prestige of chair-
manship when he comes up for
re-election. Highway commis-
sioners are appointed and
would gain no political advan-
tage.
—UP—
Some of the state boards
with staggered terms have the
chairman named by the Gover-
nor; others elect the chairman.
Chairmanship does not give
any greater voting power.

WED U S. P.
Sunday afternoon the people
of Timpson had the opportuni-
ty to see the type of equip-
ment used by the Southern Pa-
cific Railway Co., on some of
its properties on the West
Coast. The train consisted of
fourteen coaches, the latest in
modern streamlined passenger
train equipment, and so per-
fect is the construction that
the coaches appear as one vast
and lengthy coach. The sec-
tion was being towed by the
old style engines, the stream-
lined engine having preceded
it.
This equipment was made in
Chicago, and was routed over
Southern Pacific line* through
Timpson, Houston, Ban An-
tonio, £1 Paso and thence to its
destination for service upon
the coastal ron between Dos
Angeles and San Francisco.
Arriving it becomes one of a
section of No. 88 and 99, of
the noted “Daylight,” one of
the fast trains of California,
Companion equipment passed
through Timpson several days
ago.
