fl, AGE DEFENDER May 1.1954 FOR ONE WAY TRAFFIC I CUbert B. Phillipa executive Vict president of the New York Auto club, put hii rganiiation on record as favoring New York city' plan to convert Seventh and Eighth aves, to one way uamc. He contended that one way traf fit on the two avenues it an eiltial part of a muter system of traffie control, and mat it a key to improving the now ot iru lie in the Manhattan area. Ho estimated a speedup of erosstown traffie of between 40 and 50 percent. He pointed out that one way traffic waa a complete success on First, Second, Ninth and Tenth, and Columbus and Amsterdam avenues.

"One way operation Is not an unproved experiment or, the persons! brainchild of a few inno vators," Phillips declared. "It is a tried and tested technique de velope by traffie engineers." He further observed that a survey of 5C cities ot mor than 20,000 ongineers and police officials were unanimous in declaring this sys tem of traffie operation successful following its adoption. ADVICE With' summer vacations just around the corner car owners will be giving thought to a motor vacation on the road. Alfred J. stirfir travel minster of the New York Automobile club, offers some very timely advice.

Ho states that driving an aver aft of 250 miles a day, car op eration should bo budgeted at 15 daily. For a family of four, to this amount should bo added sis for meals, (11 for over night ae commodatkws, with an extra 93 I for miscellaneous expenses. This I brings the daily budget total to For two persons, to The car operadot) figve should bo added for food, for lodgings, and $2 for saisecllanoeu items, auk ut a total daily diet ot SB, Weekly expense for family of fen will average 1215 aid for two aboat $154. The Auto club official reeom mended adding 15 per cent to the budget to cover unplanned in cidentals. "The so average expen ses can vary considerably," Mr.

Starger observed, "depending upon personal preferences, the areas to bo visited and the amount of driving and sightseeing done. "But if vacationist don't set their budget too high or too tow, theyH find the AAA estimates a reliable index ot costs for a mo toring holiday TRAYIL CAR While on tho subject of vaca tions, tt is estimated that T6.000. 000 people, almost naif the aa tion'a population, an expected to take vacation trips this year, Tho Automobile club of New York es timates that 83 per cent of tbea v.01 travel by car. The club states that more than 70 per cent of all vacation motoring is dono during the six months between April and September. July and August are the most popular months, accounting by HllTOHl.MAY for 54 per cent of all vacation tratel.

FEWER HEADACHES With motor travel there will be a few highway headaches. Arthur O. DieU, president of CIT Financial corporation, speaking before the Detroit Economic club on the need for a $50 billion 10 year traffic and highway modernization program, aaid that "Incredi ble as it may seem, since 1945 this country has built more mile of automobiles than mile of highways." His thinking on this problem of "road deficiency" is typical of the growing interest shown by the nation's leaders and augurs bright for the future. While ear highway program has ot kept pace with tht teed, It la to reallxo that a great deal has been done. The Automobile club points out that "la ltOO all the hard sur faced roads in tho U.

S. would not have reached front New York to Boston, a distance of 20S miles Today, there are nearly two million miles of paved roadway in tho country." Slow down when approaching a crossing, even when the light is green, tho club advises. About ont accident in three occurs at intersections. the speed of tho average car from 40 to 60 miles per hour consumes an extra gallon of gasoline for every 50 miles of travel. The club advises motorists for omy ss well as safety to slow down on tho open road.

CUSTOMER DECIDES Business was humming at Eveteady Tiro in the Bronx and so until we could get a few min utes with Harvey wo picked up something to read. Perhaps, this bright trio, Murray, Harvey and Pete had already glanced over it One of tho many sharp atato ments that caught attention was, Jf you are not offering cus tomers what they want, at price they are willing to pay, at a time and place of their choosing, profitably, you have a marketing problem." On the cover ot tho brochure waa "Your Customers. Many New Ones Will You Get? Many Old Ones Will You Imp?" It indicated among other things eight basie salea problems found prevalent la busi ness today. It 1 put out by tho George S. May company, business engineers, of 122 E.

42nd New York 17, and they aay that big or little firms can benefit by the accumu lated sale and marketing exper ience of these experts. GETTING STRAIGHT While tht Corona Youth association benefit, "Glamor in is still being talked about, this is just as good a time as any to acknowledge an omission in our column covering this event. We are grateful to Walter Abbott, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Reifer, and Reuben Patton for helping ua to aet things right.

J. C. Doremus, branch manager of General Mo tors Acceptance corporation, was among the 'distinguished guests in the Fslcon Buick party. Says Rebels In Kenya Entitled To Sympathy By LAUREEN WHITE la reading account of the people of Kenya, one cannot help thinking of tho plight of the American colonist before 177. Their positions aro similar.

Of course, the Mau Mau and all ethers who rebel in' Africa, are considered criminals and traitors now, but we must not forget that American colonists who rebelled against the British wer considered criminals and traitors, too. MATTER OF RECORDER Tht patriot who signed tho Declaration of Independence would have been signing their death warrants if tht colonies bad lost the war. I Instead of tho history books Hot lng them as heroes and men of kourage and wisdom, history would have recorded them as traitors and cowards. Of course the difference lies in who records the history. The reason the colonists wanted independence and wert willing of their people? Art not obstructions to the administration of justice established in Kenya? Haa not a standing army been placed among them wUiout tho consent of tht legislatures of Kenya? Have not their town been plundered and ravished? Have not their peoplt been destroyd? The people of Kenya have suffered these Indignities and many more.

RIGHT TO COMPLAIN Cannot, the Mau Mau of Kenya complain of these same Injustices, and more? Can the natives of Kenya enact any laws for the good of first degree murder in the Bronx County Court.

John Dale. Green, a Harlem youth, and Barry Jacobs, his white companion, claim they did not get a fair trial. They said the verdict was dictated by the press and the public opinion it generated. UNFAIR TRIAL, CHARCE They also contend thev were de nied a fair trial because the jury which tried them was selected from only one mile from the neighborhood ot tht crime and involuntary confessions wert used against them. Jacobs ia said to be the son of parents who had been acquainted with Charles (Lucky) Luciano, deported vice ring overlord.
