The chairman of the US joint chiefs of
staff, Ailm. Radford, declares that our mili-
tary “strategy is based on the assumption
; that we have a great capacity to counter in-
stantly, by means and at places of our own
choosing, to make the penalty of aggression
certain, prompt and severe.” It takes that,
everyone should know, to give pause to Rus-
• si a.

It’s not the number of hours a man puts

really counts.

There’s a town which lias this highway
{ sign near its school: “Use your eyes, save
the ‘pupils.’' Cood logic.
As people deplore the numerous traffic
accidents, they are bound to wonder what the
authorities list as the main causes of them
and, thus, it is interesting to see what these'
are for Kills County.
With records of the Highway Patrol at'
hand, Capt. Harry Hutchison has given the;
facts for the county. And he lists the causes
as follow: Speeding, improper passing, driv-
ing on the wrong side of the road and failure
to yield right of way.
In what did they result? The answer is!
disconcerting: Twenty property damage ac-!
cidents, investigated by the patrol, and two:
fatalities, the first two months of *54.
Fortunately, there is some improvement,;
on the property damage side, as compare?;
with a year ago. The sume period in 1953
brought eight more such mishaps.
So it appears that some Improvement
is in the records.
However, there's still no excuse for so
many. And, as you might imagine, there have
been some other minor clashes.
People just don’t seem to realize thpt a
motor vehicle can be something to enjoy and1
serve man’s comfort and convenience or|
something which actually turns into a wea-
pon of destruction.
And In the finul analysis it becomes an
individual mutter—that effort to cut down
on the toll.
It’s high time each of us asked himself
what he’s going to do about it—and came
up with tho right answer.

•HE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By DREW PEARSON
Washington.—The other day 1 flew
down to Mexico City to interview Hill
O’Dwyer, sometimes called the most mysteri-
ous man of American politics.
The former mayor of New York City
had not granted an interview since he re-
tired as U.S. ambassador to Mexico and
chose, at least temporarily, to live there,
rather than return to the United States.
I had known of Hill O’Dwyer when the
State Department described him as the most
popular and effective ambassador since .Jo-
sephus Daniels. I had known him personally
whep he was in charge of Roosevelt’s com-
mittee to help Jewish refugees escape the
prison camps and soap factories of Adolf
Hitler. 1 had also known him when, as a
brigadier general in the Army, he had help-
ed rebuild Italy.
And one very cold December day I had
driven up broudway with him when the his-
toric canyons of lower Manhattan welcomed
the friendship train with the traditional
shower of ticker tape.
And, like a lot of other people, 1 wonder-
ed why he did not come back to New York.
Tlie answer can’t be given in a single
sentence or a single paragraph—except to
say that he is eomihg liack. and did come
i back to meet me in Miami when some techni-
| calities in our TV interview developed and
‘ it hud to be refilmed.
—O’DWYKR’S MARRIAGE—
I suppose that part of the answer to
the mystery of Hill O’Dwyer is found in the
old French adage, cherchez la femme. In brief,
he got married to Sloan Simpson, a girl half
; his age, and there seldom has been a marri-
• age that more cruelly and sensationally went
on the rocks. At first it was just the opposi-
• te. Sloan was the toast of Mexico; later her
flirtations were the talk of Mexico.
At the very height of this gossip when
he needed a wife most, Ambassador O’Dwyer
flew liaek to New York—of his own volition
.—to testify before the Kefauvcr committee.
There he was grilled by Rudolph Halley, tin*
: man who it later developed aspired to be-
come mayor of New Yo»k, and was using the
Kefauver committee as u springboard.
O'Dwyer was suffering from pneumonia at
the time and his temperature was 101, though
his doctor didn’t know this until later,
Specifically O’Dw yer was grille I aliout
Jamej^J, Moran, his deputy fire commission-
er who later went to jail for perjurv and ex-
tortion. Morin had Uen close to O’Pwyer,
though not a bit closer than J. Russell Spra-
gue and N T Secretary of State I'urran and
some of the other men who Imutwi Tom
Dewey up the |tolitical ladder and who have
now t»e%*n exposed as having their hands in
the race-1lack till.
—n.y. « n> t.K \rr—
W hen I H'ked O’Dwyer at*»ut -u*niv ot
these things, he -aid he Mill could not under-
stand Moran, that he had ,d«av* trusted

Wagner, to his first New York City job, and
that Dr. Luther Gulick, now administrator
of New York City and acclaimed by Repub-
licans and Democrats alike, had first been
appointed by O’Dwyer another man he ap-
pointed, Charles Preusse, is now assistant
administrator.
1 asked O’Dwyer about the problem of
race-track gambling and a proposal of his
which had caused headaches and criticism.
“People will gamble,” he said. “They
gamble in New York or any other place. And
1 thought that since they’re bound to gam-
ble, why not make it legal and take it away
from the underworld. Hy that I meant, put
it in under state control. When I proposed
this, 1 got a storm of criticism. But since
then I notice that today some of the news-
papers have come round to that point of

-MEXICAN ACCLAIM—
In Mexico City they crowd around Bill
O’Dwyer in restaurants or in the American
Club as if he were still ambassador, lie’s so
popular that it’s embarrassing to the new
ambassador, Francis White.
Sitting with O’Dwyer in the office where
he practices law with a Mexican partner, you
can understand why he enjoys Mexico and
why he does not go back to New York until
he gets good and ready.
There’s not only the heartache connected
with the wife who walked out when the go-
ing was tough, but there are other senti-
mental reasons.
Most Irishmen are sentimental, and Bill
O’Dwyer perhaps is more so than most. Born
in Ireland, migrating to Brooklyn where he
became a cop, a district attorney, a judge,
and one of the most popular mayors in re-' w“*
cent history, O’Dwyer was heartbroken1 The
when the city for which he hud built so many
schools, hospitals and housinng turned
against him. In a few short days the papers
which had been eulogizing him were casti-
gating him—over one man, Moran.
Overnght his years of service were for-
gotten. He had broken up the worst crime
ring in New York history—Murder, Inc. He
