Washington Driver Schools The inauguration of a local driver-safety school for people who are in line for license and probably have bad driving habits they should correct, to avoid future repetition of trouble, brings vindication and recognition to a couple of men who were advocating such a program more than ten years ago. One of these advocates was Ernest I. Schrot, this city, who has been teaching driver training at the Lock Haven College, and has sent out a large crop of qualified driver-instructors to help train young drivers in highway safety. More than a decade ago, Mr.

Schrot visited our office to suggest that driver training should be expanded to include licensed drivers whose accident-record showed that they did not practice good driving habits. The other apostle of driver-education is, of course, Amos E. Neyhart, of the Pennsylvania State University, who is retiring July 1. Neyhart, a native of Williamsport, started the first high school driver education course in the country at the State College High School just 30 years ago, using his own car and paying the bills out of his own picket. Since then, the idea has spread throughout the nation, and Neyhart himself has carried it to several foreign countries.

The major justification of driver education in the public schools is that research shows students who have learned to drive in a school course have a record of half as many violations and accidents as other people their age, who have not had such instruction. The extension of this principle which Mr. Schrot began to advocate more than 10 years ago will pay off in the same way, when there has been time to collect data, we feel sure. The fact that four of the five people who had a chance to avoid license suspension by attending the first Clinton County course in remedial driving is an initial promise of good results. We are confident that the four students will pick up useful pointers which will help them to avoid accidents, violations and license suspension in the future.

The history of traffic law infractions and highway accidents is that repeaters are responsible for the high totals. To the extent that repeated errors are caused by carelessness, ignorance, bad habits and absentmindedness, the course of instruction should be able to bring improvement. Millbrook Season The second summer stock season at the Millbrook Playhouse, opening should be even more successful than the first. And the first season turned out to be far more successful than it had any right to be, considering the amount of work necessary not only to put on a full season of plays, but to inaugurate a new venture and create a theatre out of an old dairy barn. All three phases of the undertaking were discharged with style, as well as success, and most problems were solved with satisfaction if not with ease.

The one remaining problem, the financial one, is continuous with almost any summer theatre, we understand, and is not unheard of on Broadway. The players will be busy people, but their presence here offers us something more than the entertaining drama fare they will provide at the playhouse. Their presence in the community for 10 to 12 weeks brings added color and variety to the summer's customary routine. The Old Picture Album Sen. Kuchel Worried by Views, May Desert to Democrats Postscript to the Week By JACK ANDERSON Copyright, 1964 by the Bell Syndicate, TPC.

WASHINGTON Sen. Tom Kuchel, the No. 2 Republican in Congress, isn't advertising it, but he is giving grave thought to the precedent set by his fellow Californian, the late Senator Hiram Johnson, who switched to the Democratic Party. If Goldwater is nominated and also controls the GOP platform, Kuchel may do the same. Only Kuckel's strong sense of party loyalty is causing him to hesitate.

He got a rude shove toward the Democrats from his former Senate colleague, Oakland Tribune publisher William Knowland, who heads the Goldwater forces in California. During a Washington visit, Knowland stopped by the Senate, exchanged greetings with Kuchel, and they both agreed to get together later for a talk. Instead, Knowland flew back to California without seeing Kuchel again, and issued a public invitation to him to hop aboard the Goldwater bandwagon. The language sounded more like an ultimatum than an invitation. Unable to bring himself to do this, Kuchel desperately hopes Goldwater can be stopped or that the convention can persuade him to accept a moderate platform.

Meanwhile, Kuchel is going through mental anguish over what he should do if moderate Republicans are crushed. As co-captain of the civil rights forces, Kuchel was in the thick of the epic battle for civil rights. He was dismayed over Goldwater's vote against the bill. But Kuchel is even more haunted by the memory of Goldwater's stand against a nuclear test-ban treaty. The conscientious Californian attended all hearings, questioned most of the witnesses while Goldwater was off politicking.

Belittling Nuclear Peace Kuchel also aranged a private luncheon with the Marine Corps Commandant, General David Shoup, to discuss the treaty. The gruff old soldier, who holds the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest decoration for bravery, told Kuchel solemnly: "This treaty will have a greater effect on the future of mankind than any event since the birth of Jesus Christ." Yet Goldwater took the Senate floor to belittle the nuclear danger and oppose the pact. As Kuchel alter recalled to a friend, "Goldwater read a speech someone else had prepared for him." Kuchel told how he rose to challenge Goldwater. "Let me ask my friend from A i Kuchel began, "Whether he favors severance of diplomatic relations by the United States with the Soviet Union?" "Yes," Goldwater replied bluntly. "I have expressed myself on that point since 1934." "Let me ask the Senator," Kuchel presed, "whether this is a correct statement of what he said the other day in the state of California: 'I don't give a tinker's dam what the rest of the world thinks about the United States as long as we keep strong "The Senator has read what I said," acknowledge Goldwater.

"I meant it. I have been chastised for using the word Kuchel then asked whether the Arizona Senator had opposed former President Eisenhower's moratorium on nuclear testing. Goldwater said he had not considered Ike's action "wise," then added apologetically: "Perhaps I have been too close to the military and perhaps lean too heavily on that direction." "The Senator from Arizona has a distinguished service record in both war and peace," replied Kuchel. "He need not apologize for saying that he leans heavily in the direction of the military. But it it not a fact that every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved the treaty?" "That is true," agreed Goldwater.

"It is also true that other members who have military responsibility have disaproved." Sen Kuchel cannot forget Goldwater's failure to study a treaty which may help to bring a new era of peace to the world. This irresponsibility on the part of a man who seeks the power, as President, to release the A-bomb, may make a Democrat out of the No. 2 Republican in the Senate.

Inside fact is that the story was planted by a junior press officer in Bonn, who, though not anti- American, got the whole thing garbled. He called in certain American newspaperman and told them that Erhard resented Johnson's determination to go ahead with the easing of East- West tensions.

On the contrary, Erhard has agreed with Johnson about the importance of making the Russians feel that they are not under the German gun once again. Russia was invaded by the German Army twice in most people's lifetime. FARMER IN THE DELL It Seems Like Yesterday Cornersfone Was Laid tor New I.C.

firm, with which a former Lock Havenite, Joel Claster, has long been identified. The Luria firm is testing a a huge machine which can chew an automobile into small pieces of scrap in 60 seconds. the big machine, which cost a million and a half dollars, works as well as it is expected to, it will gobble up a lot of wrecked cars, separating the remains into piles of rubber, plastic, cloth, copper, glass, paint chips and steel. The steel will be nearly pure by the time the machine gets through with its job, and it can be used by the steel mills for the manufacture of new high quality steel. The machine should not only get rid of some eyesores on the highways but is also expected to get the scrap business out of the doldrums.

New oxygen techniques in steel manufacture have reduced the amount of scrap metal used in the steel mills. Instead of scrap they have been using molten iron, so that there has been a big reduction in the use of scrap accompanging a big increase in the production of steel. With the scrap market falling off, the old cars don't move off the hillsides and open- field junk yards. The new fragmentizer, which rises six stories high and spreads over a site as big as a football field, according to The Wall St. Journal, will chop up the old cars by running them through a channel where fifty 850-pound hammers, swinging at a speed of 400 feet per second, reduce them into a state of near-pulverization.

There's a similar machine in operation in Chicago, at another big scrap yard. Probably these machines are too big to be hauled around the country to gulp down the old cars where they lie now, but, if they prove profitable, the owners of auto graveyards may find it worthwhile to ship their old cars to the fragmentizer. Then, if we could cut out the fragmentation on the highway, itself, due to wild driving, we might solve the auto graveyard problem. One of the border problems of Argentina, according to a recent issue of Life, is the practice of smuggling airplanes, especially Pipers and Cessnas, into the country. The techniques is not to fly them over in the dead of the night, but to bring them in piece by piece, and fit the parts together when all the nuts and bolts have been sneaked in.
