Foote Says Drivers Clinic Tags Accident Repeaters Unfit
Harrisburg reports Dr Watry Desilva presented to Commissioner Foote that a seven month Philadelphia Drivers Clinic study of 300 motorists labeled repeaters with accidents shows one fifth deficient in some way. Findings include illiteracy, lack of traffic law knowledge, eye defects, mental illness, and drunkards. Desilva says repeaters score lower on braking, vigilance, steering, and glare resistance, with many from low education and foreign or Negro backgrounds. He notes old cars and poor maintenance as factors and urges selective education targeting at risk groups. Foote agrees that some drivers cannot operate a car safely. The Dept plans 55 schools and 6,000 enrollments to train new drivers, aiming to coach nearly 4 million motorists in 13 years.

Labor Board Rights AFL Contract Fear of Employer Domination
Lee Pressman, CIO general counsel, warned the decision may give cold comfort to labor organizers seeking gains at workers' expense through employer favors. The court majority refused to strike down a union contract as an unfair labor practice, saying no express authority exists to invalidate a contract formed by an employer dominated union. Justices Reed and Black dissented on this point, in an opinion read by Chief Justice Hughes.
