creased benefit from automobile use
In the form of more convenient and
safer motor travel for the country's
twenty-four million passenger oar
owners will be the objective of a pro
gram of action to be formulated at
the thirty-sixth annual convention of
the American Automobile association,
to be held at Cleveland. Ohio, Nov
ember 16 and 19.
Attended by AAA motor club execu
tives from all parts of the United
States, and coming at a time when
stimulation of highway travel will
provide new employment and aid
business and Industry, the conven
tion will protest vigorously against
further temporizing with conditions
which deny motorists maximum use
and minimum pleasure from their
vehicles.
"With the nation thinking and act
ing In terms of solving basic prob
lems," said Thos. P. Henry, president
of the AAA, "it la nothing short of
national folly to Ignore the fact that
highway transportation Is threatened
with strangulation by traffic conges
tion, uneconomic restrictions and
costly experiments.
"Building of superhighways and
ether much-needed rond improve
ments in congested areas are being
delayed while huge sums of special
motor tnxea are devoted to non-high
way purposes. Passenger car owners
are not assured a proper place on the
highway In the malestrom of com
mercial traffic. Wealth-creating mo
tor travel runs Into border barriers
and tourist permit systems at home
at a time when restrictions at inter
national boundaries ahrond are being
simplified. Fce-grnbbrng Justices and
enforcement officers ply their trado
In the face of a decision of the su
prems court declaring such a system
In violation of the Fourteenth Am
endment. Despite these and other
conditions, special motor taxes have
Increased to the highest point on
record.
"Our cities continue to experiment
and hope some miracle will solve the
problem of parking and terminal fac
ilities, Instead of proceeding to bring
about Improvement. Qadgeteerlng In
stead of engineering Is the rule rather
than the exception."
Citing that highway planning sur
veys, conducted by the U.S. Bureau
of Public Roads and forty-six
operating states will furnish the first
road Inventory since' the automobile

flteps to secure the greatest possible

WIFE OF FAMOUS
ENGLISH BANKER,
AIDS AIR PLANS
By William Mrdaffln
AP Feature Writer
LONDON Brisk, business-like Mrs.
Montagu Norman sits at a desk In
Westminster recruiting women for
the air raid precaution. services.
It seems a strange Job for the wife
of tho governor of the Bank of Eng
land. But sho doesn't think so. She
used to be a member of the London
county council, until her marriage to
the "mystery man" of British finance
five and a half years ago. He was
then a 61-year-old bachelor, nhe a
33-year-old divorcee with two sons
I dropped into her office to get her
slant on her work.
She gives you a friendly handshake
as you come In. As you settle down
In a chair, you observe that she has
ash blonde hair, a youthful, oval
shaped face, and n charming person
ality beneath her eutclent business
woman manner.
"You have a dangerous Job. don't
you think. Mrs. Norman?" I ask.
"All of us In this type of work are
in danger, of course."
'But doesn't your hUAband ob
Joct?" "On the contrary. All of us must
help."
Mrs. Norman Is vice-chairman In
charge of the London area of the
women's voluntary services for A R P.
a government organisation newly
created to enroll a half million women
volunteers for the various air raid
precautions services.
The organization has been criticiz
ed In the House of Commons for be
ing in the hands of "society ladles
nnd young debutantes."
But Mrs. Nornmn says "they're all
workers", whatever their social or fi
nancial position. "Merit" Is the only
thlna that counts, she explains.
"What would you do. Mrs. Norman,
If enemy bombers raided London to
day?" "1 don't know, I hodn't thought of
that."
"I shotild think your first concern
would be for your family."
"Yes. I suppose It would be."
"Then don't you think your women
voluntoors will feel the some clash
between duty and. family."
"Yes, I suppose so." In some In
stances, however, she explains that
A.R.P. duty and family responsibility
aro being coordinated. Housewives, es
pecially those In the poorer sections,
are to be trained what to do In a
rold.
"Their husbands will be working.,
probably, and they'll be alone with
the children. If we can ?how them
how to put out bombs and how to
seal up their windows so the class
won't fly we will hetp prevent them
rrom getting so panicky, we feci."
"But do you think It's practical to
use women for A.R.P. work? Can they
keep their heads In an emergency?"
"It's not only practical but es
sential. We're In an emergeney We
must hove tho support of the
women."
The list of A.R.P. Jobs for women
ranges from telephonists nnd steno
graphera to ambulance drivers, evac
uation lenders, casualty workers and
undertakers. i
