On a basis of comparative accident records, this city was given second place in the national pedestrian contest for cities of its class. This is an en couraging development and is particularly gratifying to traffic safety workers here, but there are phases of the traffic situation here which should prevent us from be coming complacent or careless. dent records in the suburbs had anything to do with the rating for the national award, but we presume it was based entirely on what has happened inside the corporate limits.,. Klamath's suburbs still are without proper side walks, including sucn neaviiy used tnorougniares as soutn Sixth-.street, and death threatens along these streets at all times. . : Under wartime conditions, there is more walking than 'in normal times. Pedestrian travel is likely to increase, but there are still plenty of cars using the same travel surfaces with foot travelers to make a most hazardous situation.' Until sidewalks are built which probably will not.be soon this condition will continue. There is need ;for the utmost caution on the part of both pedestrians .and motorists. J. Inside the city, the traffic signal system should go jar in eliminating auto-pedestnan accidents; But here again there is danger of false security. , -i This community on certain occasions in the past has made a remarkable traffic improvement showing, onlv to jfall back after a year or two. As a matter of fact, one .Hair year alter a bad one wins hollow honors. We will jifeel better about our traffic safety record when we man age to make a consistently good record over a period of jseveral years. That will take not only the continued effec ftive work, of the traffic safety council and the policing ; agencies, but full public cooperation.

Let s put this over. WASHINGTON. May 38 A wallpaper manufacturer in the mid-west, who barely knew a bomb from a bum a year ago, made some of the incendiar ies which General Doolittle and his 79 American bombardiers dropped on Japan. His is another of the inside stories of how this country won Its first battle of the war. the most important one for it, the battle of production. It Is the same inspiring ' tale explaining why nearly every phase of our production is al ready ahead of its blueprint schedule. America simply did not know how good it was until it got started, The mid-west wallpaper mak er appeared In this column near ly a year ago. Then he had been as assistant to Donald Nelson and yet could not get a govern ment contract for defense work. He spent eight months trying to find out what his paper plant couia make. Personal research brouaht him finally to the conclusion that not many people know how to load incendiary bombs. His com pany set to work to find out everything anybody knew about the subject. Blueprints of what they thought they could do were submitted to the war depart' ment and approved. Conversion of the wallpaper piuni into a comb factory was not started until last winter.

In his speech, to "a 15-room house on wings, adding: "who knows, maybe we will be flying me tmplre State building." "I wish to go on record," he said, "with the fact that we do not recognize limits to which airplanes can be built, other than the daily volume of cargo re quired to be hauled and the ef ficiency surrounding the number of daily trlpa desired. The next step, however, will ba the 250, 000 pound size, depending on the cargo per trip required by the customer." As a matter of fact, the 250-000-pound flying ship has already been designed and according to previous an nouncement by Martin, his firm "can build a 250.000-pound fly- ing ship, able .to carry 80 tons of bombs or cargo to Europe at a speed of more than 300 MPH at any time that there is a de mand for it. To appreciate the significance of these words, it should be com mented that the "customer" just now is the American nation and the "cargo per trip required" Is just enough to destroy the sources of axis power in Japan and Germany. Strange as it may sound. people who listen calmly to real istic descriptions of such super- planes tor commercial purposes alter the war, shy away from consideration of the same such equipment now for the life-and death task of obtaining victory through air power. By way of illustrating the ad vances being made In other phases of aeronautics which must have an Immediate effect on the performance of air power, Martin pointed to aircraft ma terials. The finest airplane ma terial In the world Is now made in America, he said, namely an aluminum alloy with a tensile strength of 68,000 pounds per square inch. But that Is only a beginning. Martin referred to an alloy of aluminum and beryl lium with a tensile rating of 200,000 pounds now in the mak ing, about 40 per cent lighter than aluminum. But he went beyond that, to "new steels now ready for use" with a tensile strength of from 180,000 to 200,000 pounds to the square Inch. Moreover, he add ed, "there are new materials not yet ready for use that have a tensile strength of 1,000,000 pounds per square inch." He said that "even today our fly ing boats are carrying more than their own weight In disposable load. We should be able to raise that percentage much higher." In war-time, of course, dispos able load Includes armament and explosives. Martin did a service to the war effort In focusing attention on these typical developments In his field. There Is renl dnngor that the full use of the air power potential mny be stymied by the limited imiiglnntloiis and the mental timidity of nldtlmc strategic thinking. If Is the duty of every American who has ac cess to the public enr to make America mure sharply aware of the rapidity with which aviation is dnvt'loping both In order to encouraiie research and experi ment hero, and to serve as a warning what we may expect from the enemy If we do not boldly take the lead. The visions of fiction writrrs seem mild contrasted with the cold, hard realities of aviation facts. Tho sooner we recognize this as a nation, and proceed to Utilize the Inst ounce of air power potentiality, the sooner victory will be ours.
