One lafety precaution commonly ne glected hy motorists is a supply of red flares to mark the road side oosition of the car in case of trouble. Flares provide the best protection against "silling duck" accidents. A disabled car on the. roadside at night should have its lights on and a flare placed some dis tance up the road in the direction of oncoming traffic, according to highway safety officials. ' The National Safety Council es timates that fewer than one out of every 45 passenger cars are equipped with flares for emergen cy use. They aren't expensive and they are not dangerous to carry. Virtually all police cars through out the country carry a supply. of flares but most accidents happen when the police cars are busy elsewhere. ' ' Besides warning passing traf fic, flares also will provide' light for tire changing and other emer gency work. In addition to being prepared for emergencies, the driver should take reasonable precautions to make sure the emergencies do not arise Don't drive when you are tired, the National Safety Council warns. And when you take that "one for the road," make it cof fee, lea. milk or soup. watching a mighty thunder and lightning storm on the Great Plains at night.'

Build ing shoulder the morning mist III The Swim By CLAIRE COX v United Press International Gertrude Ederle, who was the first woman to conquer the Eng lish Channel, says channel swim' ming isn't what it used to be. The sport is gone, says the wom an whose feat made her a national heroine. It has become too com mercial. Trudy Ederle plunged into the channel nn a stormy August day in 1928. She set out to prove that a woman could successfully fight swift currents and the mountain ous surf , . . and to demonstrate the vilue of the then controver sial American crawl. Says Miss Ederle: "I didn't en dorse anything but the American flag. "It was a sports achievement then," says Miss Ederle, who re- members every moment of the swim as though it were yesterday "Now they endorse products and watches. They say Ihey were able to do it because they ate some cereal or other and they stop in the middle of the channel to hold up their watches and look at the time. The purpose is gone." Miss Ederle says she just jumped into the water and swam. lor 14 hours and 31 minutes, until she staggered ashore in England. No one was more surprised than she when she came home lo Broadway ticker-tape parade and the homage of an entire nation. She lost her hearing because of the swim, had a nervous break down under the strain of public adulation, and later was in a cast four years with a back injury Still she has no regrets. "Everyone but my family and my coach said I wouldn't have. chance." she says. "But I broke the men's record by two hours. Miss Ederle says people have since crossed faster than she did, hut not in the stormy weather she had. Now she is about lo take a plunge into a new swimming en terprise, swiming pools. Tomor row she signs a contract under which the Gertrude Edeile back yard family swimming pool will go on sale, in competition with the Esther Williams model. Miss Ederle says there's nn rea son why athletes should stop swim ming the channel every summer in droves, so long as they do it for Ihe spurt. "No harm can come of it," she says, "but they just aren't prov ing anything." She feels as lar as she was con cerned, when she finished the Spotlight' By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (API Re-entry of the Federal Reserve Board into the long-term U. S. bond market throws the spotlight today on a small but influential group that deals in government securities. It is one of the biggest financial markets in the world. Deals, often involving millions of dollars, are usually made over the phone Deals can be made on small margins, allowing speculators in now and then. And the market operations, while not under the di rect control of the Federal Re serve, are easily and almost con stantly influenced by the Central Bank, normally Ihe market s big gest buyer and seller. From now the influence will be more marked. Your Savings Bonds aren't in volved. You can redeem them at the U. S. Treasury but you can't sell them to any other person and they can't be traded or influenced any way by the government securities dealers. But there are some 167 billion dollars in U. S. securities today that are marketable. The Federal Reserve since 1952 has been buying or selling only the short-term securities such as the 91-day U. S. Treasury bills and its operations are aimed at supplying the commercial banks with enough funds to handle what the Fed considers the- legitimate needs of business but not enough to encourage what it calls spec ulators. Now Ihe Central Bank is buying long-term bonds again. The an nounced aim: to keep the market orderly (which it hasn't been of latei. The side effect: lo bolster Ihe prices of U. S. bonds, which have tumbled in recent weeks at a time when both the recession and the Middle East crisis need firm markets. There are 17 dealers in govern ment securities. Five of these are banks Ihe Guaranty Trust. Chemical Corn Exchange and Rankers Trust of New York; Ihe First National and Continental Il linois National in Chicago. The banks Jsually operate in the short or medium term bond market. Other, dealers operate in both long and short term securities. The Central Bank stopped trad ing in long-term bonds in 1952 on an agreement with the Treasury that it would no longer support the price of these bonds as it had been doing during and after the war in line with the administra tion's easy money, low interest policy in those years. But with Ihe Treasury return ing frequently ;hcse days to the money market as the federal def icit starts to rise, the Central Bank ,s agreeing to keep the mar ket in line. The market has olher custom ers besides the Federal Reserve. Commercial banks buy and sell government securities. Corpora lions buy and sell. Insurance companies buy .ind sell. Even in dividuals do, al'hough their total operations are comparatively small. Banks, insurance companies and olher financial institutions buy when they have a surplus of funds and want lo put it at work earn ing interest. Thev sell when they need cash to lend to business at higher interest iales than govern ment securities pay. Corporations ollen lind their ash flow has given them a sur ilus. And no matter how tempo rary this may prove lo be, they ml the money lo work at once, jovernment securities are a fa vorite investment at such a time. They sell wh"en tfceir cash is low when they .leed cash for ex pansion or operating needs. The 17 dealers supply thi mar ket. Usually they keep it very orderly. The rederal Reserve is now going to try to help them. Poqo gwv tuv man.' BUY VAV ' e0 OJ vC9 ( OH, I tlMOUtp O MN miu 1 A-VtM I T,, him ABOuTTV-U I0t4 I w MOLIN AIOknP in I k, SOKES'.) . I tMM .'I Action ((ueMtioned By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) ' Almost from the moment President Eisen hower sent American troops into Lebanon his action has raised questions which may seem i pleasant to think about but which nevertheless must be faced. For example: New that we're in Lebanon, when Uo we get out and how? The Presidents action widely supported in this country but far from widely supported around the world was taken at the request of Lebanese President Chamoun who said he feared violent, sub versive overthrow of his govern ment. But even in Lebanon there was far from general approval of Cha moun's request oi Eisenhower's action. The quick landing ol Marines July 15 may have prevented the violent overthrow Chamoun said he feared. But it also antagonized the rest of the Arab world and provided the Soviet Union with anti-American propaganda. And the United Stales may wind up in a truly embarrassing position be fore this is over In 'he first place, the 6-mem ber Lebanese Parliament is sched uled to elect a .successor to Presi dent Chamoun Thursday. Cha moun's term does not officially ex pire until Sept. 23. If the election is held, Chamoun probably will se-ve out his term So long as he is in office, there will be an excuse for the presence of American troops in Lebanon. But if his successor is chosen in legal and orde.ly fashion Thurs day and asks ihe United States to withdraw, this country will find itself in an almost untenable posi tion, and would have little choice but to withdraw once Chamoun stepped down. In the second place, il the ques tion of American troops in Leb anon goes before the United Na lions General Assembly, many of Ihe African, Asian and Arab na tions may in effect repudiate the American intervention. But on top of all these problems is this crowning one: True, the Unit?d Slates forces in Lebanon where Chamoun pro-Western may have prevent ed his bloody ousler and for the time being may have frustrated the hopes of Egyptian Presidenl Nasser to bring Lebanon under his wing. But the tide ot Arab nationalism in the Middle East is at crest now, And what happens when the Amer ican troops are withdrawn? There a good chance Lebanon wil1 join the Nasser camp and all this action will have been for nought in the long run except for this possible effect: That it did sho.v (hat Ihe United Stales, when pushed hard enough would act in defiance of Moscow or any revolutionary force to back its friends. ine questions applying to Ihe United States position in Ihe Mid dle East now apply equally lo the British, whose troops have gone into Jordan at :he request of King Hussein lo save his government from violent overthrow The British can hardly hope lo stay there indefinitely. Hussein has now openly broken with Nas ser. But what happens lo Hussein when ihe British withdraw next week, next mon'h. next vear? TuN o a io a.
