But in a deeper sense it had nothing to do with races for its theme was that the comndeship born of common danger and common heroism knows no racial lines. This wasa theme repeated over and over in moving testimony by men whose voices appeared on the sound track. To some it will be shocking to recognize that it takes a war to make men see further than the color of a man's skin or the shape of his features. But to those who have been under fire togcther, who have met common danger and common hardship and common bore- dom, there is no mystery. It is trying to express this sense of a common bond of humanness to the boiling dissidents of a younger generation that so defeats us of an older generation. It is a kind of trust and a kind of pride in other hurnan beings-incomprehensibleto those who never have experienced it. Yet it is the forging of bonds of this sort which in the long run is the only answer to white separatism and Negro separatism. The noisy racists, black and white, can jape at such a concept. But last Friday's documentary showed how meaningless are Ku Kluxism or black power in the shared danger of a foxhole. America today is the victim of the super- hested fantasies of the activists white and black. Let us hope that we soon can jettison these smy mgcidusandgfinthesercnc ice expressed in Friday's Transit's Future? Vexing as is the current bus strike, we hope that the metropolitan area will not let the emergency blind them to fong range aspects of the transportation problem. And here we are talking principally about high speed mass transit potentials. The popubtion of Monroe County in not a great many years should be approach- ing a million persons-with a great many of them daily on the move to work, school, and other destinations. That buses-or automotive traffic of any kind-can handle the usk of transporting these people swiftly to and from their des- tinzxtions is very doubtful. High speed mass transit appears the only answer. Since it ts clear that the bus company will not have the funds to undertakeany such program, government must enter the picture, probably in the form of an authority. With this in mind, we hope that the county will go slowly about acquiring the bus compeny now. Surely, long ranger aspects of the county transportation problem must be thought through before any such major step is taken. In the meantime, however, every effort should be made to get the buses running. It is intolerable that the daily lives of so many innocent: people must be disrupted crery year or so because of wage disputes between company and union.

Bernard Gordon. Many aspects of the insurance question came up and a good deal of Hime was devoted to the pros and 'conms of eltmt- paling negligence sults in reference to suto accidents. One school of thought be- leves there should be no necessity for a trial to deter- mine who is sat fault in an accident, if we adopt a work- men's compensation ap- prosch. In other words, should you be involved in an sccident, * your insurance company would pay all '«'\out-of.-pocket\ costs rather thansuing the so-called gullty party. * *%# *% Although there are certain shortcomings in this ap- proach, 1 think with modifica- tlon it has substantial merit.
