U.S. Mishaps In
Atomic Age Kill
More Than Bombs
CHICAGO. Aug. B-(JP Atom
bombs killed some 110,000 per
sons In Japan lour years ago but
since the atomic age began, the
National Safety council says, ac
cidents have caused 400,000
deaths In the United States.
The comparison was made by
Ned H. Dearborn, council presi
dent, in the National Safety
News.
He said the accidental death
toll In other countries of the
world cannot be estimated, but
If the world rate Is near the Am
erican, about 6,000,000 porno is
have been killed by accidents In
the four years of the atomic era.
The 400,000 Americans have
been killed, Dearborn said, "Not
by the new products of genius,
but by the old stupidities."

For Stand On Federal School Aid Bill
CANN ELTON, Indiana,
Cf Rep. Andrew Jacobs (D-Ind)
of Indianapolis has received a
parental dressing down for op
posing the use of federal funds
to aid parochial schools.
His 81-year-old father. Mike Ja
cobs of Troy, Inc., wrote a letter
to the editor of the Weekly Can
n'i'on News in which he said:
"I am sorry my poor dear boy.
Andrew Jacobs, congressman
from the 11th district, takes such
a stand against Catholic educa
tion getting some of the federal
funds now proposed for educa
tion. 'The Catholic capitalists pay a
vast amount in taxes for educa
tion, and it would be no more
than fair that the parochial
schools should get a little from
these funds.
'Those who oppose Catholic
education getting this federal aid
certainly do not appreciate the
fight the Catholic church is mak
ing against communism. There
is no other organization in the
United States making as hard
and successful a fight against

Informed In Washington of his
father's letter, Rep. Jacobs said
he hadn't changed his mind.
"My father, my brothers and
our family have disagreed many
times, but we still maintain a
deep family respect. I regret that
my father disagrees with me on
this issue, but I still think I'm
right."
The elder Jacobs, contacted by
a reporter, promised a fatherly
lecture when he sees his con
gressman son.
"I've never talked to Andrew
about this thing, but I think he's
wrong, and I'm going to give
him a good talking to when I see
him," the congressman's father
said.
Both father and son are mem

his letter was prompted by his
son's support of Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. She was criticized re
cently by Francis Cardinal Spell
man of New York for her oppo

Earthquake in Ecuador
Recalls Similar Disasters
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. (.
The Ecuador earthquakes, n
which the death toll is over 4,600,
is South America's worst tragedy
of this kind since 1939.
In that year, 30,000 were killed
In earthquakes in Chile.
Only other recent quakes on the
southern continent were last
April when 44 were killed in south
central Chile, and in November,
1947, when 60 were killed In cen
tral Peru
Other major earthquake catas
trophes of the last two decades:
1948-3,238 killed at Fukut,
Japan; more than 1,000 killed at
Lihwa, Sikang province, China.
1939 Erzingan Turkey, 23,000
killed.

killed.
1933 Honshu Island, Japan, 1,
535 dead.
1932 Kansu, China, 70,000
killed.
The greatest toll of lives taken
by earthquakes this century was
in 1920, at Kansu, China, when
180,000 were killed.
In the big San Francisco earth
quakes of 1906, there were 452
fatalities. But property damage
ran to $350,000,000 the heaviest

floor managers of the legisla
tion had notice of scores of other
amendments ready to be brought
up when the time comes.
The debate was expected to
rage most, if not all, of the
week.
Precious Effort Beaten
The situation was very similar
to that at the beginning of the
Taft-Hartley debate in the House,
with one exceplion. In this case,
the democratic leadership's com
promise was before the house at
the beginning of the struggle.
In the Taft-Hartley debate it
came out at the last minute,
and was beaten. The house then
went on and sent the whole con
troversy back to the labor com
mittee, where it r.-sts with no
hope of getting out until next
year.
A minimum wage bill was the
first adminstration labor mea
sure to reach Capitol Hill after
the new congress ?ot to town
last January. This bill would have
raised the minimum from 40
cents to 75 and eventually St.
and brought millions of new
workers in under iiie wage-hour
act.
The house committee finally
approved a 75-cent cill with few
er changes in coverage. It would
have added about 5,000,000 work
ers to the approximately 20,
000.000 now covered by the law.
The senate labor committee has
approved a bill raising the mini
mum to 75 cents, and making a
few other changes, but omitting
any large-scale increase in cov
erage. This is due for debate
soon.
