TPIUCHK'S always some new me

about. Now It's an electric, truf

Two parallel beams of infrn
red IlKhl (which is invisible to the
eye) uro projected across the

the counter works. A pedestrian
interrupts only one, and the coun

ask:

"Why count traffic, any-

The answer is that places whom
traffic is persistently heavy re
quire one kind of road. Places
whore traffic isn't so heavy re
quire another kind. Before the
engineers start in to design roads,
they want to know the kind of job
the rond will be called upon to do.

traffic counters out of Jobs, don't
they?"
They do. But they make 11 pos

TICCE machines In modern au-
tomobile factories take the

to produce MORE CARS. And as
more cars are produced the price
goes down, so that people can nf

Nevadan Warns Democrats
as to Future; Opponents
Of Bill Claim Total
of 44 Votes.
WASHINGTON, July 10 (AP)
Senator ALOarran (D-N'ev.)
challenged the democratic leader
ship today to throw him out of
the parly for opposing the Roose
velt court hill.
Carrying on the. opposition at
tack against the compromise judi
cial reorganization bill in senate
debate, the Nevada senator said
he did not believe that such a step
was the intent of those in charge
pr the administration measure, but
that if it was, he would "rather go
down" than return to the senate.
He bluntly warned his party that
the day "may eome" when the
three electoral votes from Nevada
may be needed to "save the demo
cratic party."
McCarran stood, for his speech,
in the same spot from which Sen
ator Wheeler opened the opposi
tion fight on the bill yesterday,
Just a few feci nway from Demo
era tic Leader Robinson, who sat
listening intently, half turned
around to face the Nevada sena
tor, i
Absolves Roosevelt
McCarran said that the court
proposal did not come from the
president. ,
"It couldn't have emanated from
him," he declared. "He's too big.
too grand, too splendid to ever
have a bill of this emanate from
him. This grows out of a rampant
philosophy."
Senator Wheeler interrupted to
say that when republicans assert
ed in the last campaign that the
president intended to add justices
to the supreme court, democrats
quoted Mr. Roosevelt's own words
to refute the allegation.
McCarran replied by expressing
the wish that "Sir. Farley was lis
tening to me." Ho asked why Far
ley had not told him during the
campaign that "there would be a
different viewpoint" when McCar
ran wanted favors for his state.
Saying that In the closing days
of the campaign he had toured the
far western stales by o'v at the
request of democratic headquart
ers, McCarran added:
"They didn't say to me then,
'When you ask lor something for
your state there will be a differ
ent viewpoint.
