There have been three accidents arsis of the soul that comes with
in our area this year resulting in
fatalities which apparently came
bout because the first accident in
each case was not marked. 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

for tire changing and other emer

In addition to being prepared
for emergencies, the driver should
take reasonable precautions to
make sure the emergencies do not
arise

first woman to conquer the Eng

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.

she staggered ashore in England.
No one was more surprised than
she when she came home lo

adulation, and later was in a cast

Miss Ederle says there's nn rea

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.

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?
