WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 3. (Special) Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, Mich., president of the American Automobile Association, in an address before the Interna tional Association of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, at White Sul phnr Springs. W. Va.f but lined the policy of 'the national motoring federation on the prob lem of compulsory automobile lia bility insurance. . The A. A. A. President told the gathering that the difficulties sur rounding the efforts of Massachu setts to pioneer this law have more than ever served to caution the rest of the country against precip itate action. "Many of the dangers and the pitfalls predicted by the opponents of compulsory automobile liability insurance in its radical form, ap pear to'be substantially demon strated in the experience of Mas sachusetts in the first twenty months of the law," Mr. Henry de clared. Convention Planned At the same time that he made this declaration, the A. A. A. ex ecutive announced that motor club leaders from all parts of the Unit ed States will convene in Wash ingto nunder auspices of the Amererlcan Automobile Associa tion to formulate, definite recom mendations. "It is hoped," he said, "to have a model law drafted for the guid ance of motor clubs in handling the problem before state legisla tures. Our efforts shall, fee di rected toward the elimination of the reckles sdriver. toward assur ing compensation for accideat vic tims along equitable principles and to avoiding the pitfalls otf dan gerous experiments along drastic and wholesale linesl However, any dan of insurance must be kept out of politics." Mr. Henry said that with less than twenty months of experience with compulsory rates, car ojwner3 of Massachusetts are confronted with the possibility of rates that are almost douoiea in some in stances; that the number of acci dents have increased; that an in vestigation of fraudulent claims involving the ambulance-cttasing types in the legal and medical pro fessions is under way; that Insur ance companies are refusing to write policies at the existing rales and are retiring from the fray. Politics Plays Part On top of this, he added, tjhe n- tlre'matter has been thrown into a maelstrom of partisan politics, which promises to sound the; death knell of this pioneer effort. In outlining the reasons the, A. A. A. has consistently opposed this form of insurance, Mr. Henry said in part: "First pulsory automobile Insurance would reduce accidente, bat there; was no - reason whatever,; to su p pose that this would be the caW. Indeed, under any theory of a pri ori Teasorrtnr; 'the Teverse woud be expected. And after a period of discussion, the proponents or compulsory insurance were com pelled to relegate the 'safety claim to the background. "Second, it wais contended th't it would guarantee compensation to the victims of accidents at tnc- hands of financially irresponsible drivers. Here w as a humanitarian appeal that could not be over looked. But what was overlooked was that the total amount of un paid damages was a drop in ti c bucket as compared wlih the im mense, sum involved In the appl cation of the scheme to 23.000,000 car owners; also that it was man ifestly wrong to apply compulsion to the financially responsible in or der to guarantee the liabilities of the irresponsible.! Claim IjoWer Rates "Third, it was claimed that ii would lead to lower rates in lia bility insurance. jWe believed that the reverse would be the cas. since we foresaw ;the possibility of thousands of frivolous and trump ed-up claims for damages. We re alized that probably more than ninety per cent of our own A. A A. memebrs carried insurance ai.o that no measure! that would lead to increased rates was in their in terests. We foresaw the danger J,o the selective j risk principle, which I have always understood to be fundamental, of a sound in surance structure. "Fourth, we felt that it would Inevitably lead to state insurance and we suspected that many poli ticians were more interested ic building up a large state fund to administer than they were in the bereft widows an dchildren of au tomobile victims.'"

(AP) The faint sound of moving tum blers in safe, flashing over a telephone wire from Baker to Weiser, Idaho, today provided Charles Braun, Weiser jeweler, with the necessary information to open a safe in the offices of the Stanfield Feeder ; company here. Miss Kathleen Kivett of the Feeder company tailed Braun, ex pert safe opener, over long dis tance telephone, and explained that she had lost the combination code of the safe and was unable to open it. The jeweler instruc ted the girl to place the mouth piece of the telephone near the safe combination and to work the tumblers. He then told her when she was turning the tumbler -wrong, and when she was turning it correctly. In less than five minutes the combinationclicked and the door it was claimed that com-was opened. - The Last Great Enemy of Long Tire Life 1 in America's First Scientifically Correct Tires BDiHerTires GEAREO-TO-THE-ROAO f kn turfy fmlttamt 4m wmumi jiL One-Piece Tread and Sidewall No more cracks, joints and hinge No more sidewall separation iller Tirp Service go.
