They were pushed ahead, the Bureau of Statistics reported Tues day, by a marked expansion in shipments to the United Kingdom, Latin America and most European markets. While these markets provided the main impetus for a big, 20-per-cpnt jump over last year's comparative six months total of $1,760,000,000 shipments to the United States also were slightly higher, passing the billion-dollar mark for the second successive year, the bureau said.

And the toll of injured rose to 1, 300,000. lions governing the condition of both the driver and his car. In a grimly fascinating booklet entitled Accident Facts, the Na tional Safety Council goes into some of the causes and circum stances of these accidents, which last year killed twice as many Americans as ,'ave lost their lives jn more than two years of Korean war fighting. For instance, regarding t h faulty mechanical condition of ve hicles, which could be greatly im proved by periodic compulsory in spection, reports from 25 states indicate that about 6 per cent of the vehicles involved in fatal acci dents had one or more unsafe con ditions. About one-third of the de fects were unsafe brakes, a sixth were blowouts or other tire de fects, and another sixth were im properly adjusted or burned-out lights. Speeding was the most import ant driver violation in fatal acci dents. Approximately 28 per cent of the fatal-accident drivers were going too fast for safety under the prevailing conditions traffic, weather, type of road. In cities, right-of-way violations were second in importance. In the country, it was failure to keep to the right of the center line. Others were being under the in fluence of alcoh jl, improper pass ing, and ignoring the signals of a policeman or traffic control device, such as a stop sign or red light. A special study carried out by the states of Connecticut, Massa chusetts, Nebraska and Wisconsin showed that young people are by far the most dangerous drivers. More traffic deaths occur in Oc tober than in any other month, with September, November and December also bad. This is des pite the fact the peak motor ve hicle traffic load occurs in August. The fewest traffic deaths occur in February, Reports from 21 states indicated that 80 per cent of the fatal acci dents occurred on straight roads. 13 per cent on sharp turns and ; 7 per cent on curves. On the basis of motor vehicle deaths per 100 million vehicle miles, Rhode Island was safest last year with 3.0. Massachusetts and Connecticut each has 3.9 and Vast Cave Found By Explorers Under Pyrenees LICQ-ATHERY, France Ifl Belgian scientist Max Cosyns trying for a world underground depth record discovered Wednes day a vast chamber 1,163 feet be low of earth's surface in the Pyrenees near the Spanish frontier. Cosyns, who once plunged under the sea in a bathysphere with Prof. Auguste Piccard, hopes to set a new mark by descending more than 3,000 feet underground. ' The scientist and his party found the chamber measuring some 1.600 feet long, 1,000 feet wide and 300 feet high in the great black cave which descends under the Pyrenees at Pierre Saint Martin. The party plumbed the great cave last year and discovered a subterranean river more than 1.500 feet down. This year they have descended still lower and hope to trace the course o the river by coloring the water. The party had its first accident this morning when Marcel Loubens of France fell 130 feet while explor ing the abyss. He was found lying unconscious on the rocks below. The extent of his injuries was not known, Annual Picnic Sunday For Episcopal Church The annual picnic of the con gregation of St. George's Episco pal Church will be held Sunday, August 17. at 4 P.m. in Umpqua Park.
