Religious Forces Join
- Road Safety Programs
By GEORGE W. CORNELL
AP Religious Writer
Churches today are giving driv
ing lessons. But not the usual
variety. They're teaching' that
handling an automobile is not
just a mechanical process but a
spiritual one.
It's a new kind of program
to combat slaughter on the high
ways. Religious forces are now Joining
to point up the relationships of
morals and motoring.
"The growth of the movement
has been phenomenal," said John
Kenna. of Chicago, director of
the recently established Church
Safety Activities Division of the
National Safety Council.
"In just one year, it has de
veloped from virtually nothing un
til new leaders of every denomi
nation in every state are becom
ing the strong right arm in the
work to save human life."
Theological Rebuke
All this has focused a stern, old
theological rebuke on reckless,
rude and negligent driving "It's
a sin." And its wages are 40,000
American deaths and Vk million
seriously injured each year.
"The waste of human lives
springs from sinful carelessness,
arrogance and disregard for the
rights of others," says the Rev.
Dr. Roy G. Ross, general exec
utive of the National Council of
Churches.
In many pulpits, sermons have
hammered at the point. Religious
journals are discussing it. It has
been injected into Sunday schools.
Interdenominational councils have
issued statements, set up commit
tees, launched crusades.
"There's a flood of religious
slogans and tracts on driving.
Some samples: "By their driv
ing ye shall know them." "Drive
prayerfully." "Christians should
drive like Christians." The Out
door Advertising Assn. recently
dotted the roadways with this
sign:
Morally Responsible
"You are morally responsible
for safe driving."
For the first time this spring,
the Presidents Committee on
Traffic Safety included religious
leaders at regional planning con
ferences at Chicago, Atlantic
City, Miami Beach and San Fran
cisco.
Five states, ' by action of . their
governors, have set up continuing
religious advisory councils on the
matter. Others are forming else
where, r
About 50 cities, Kenna esti
mates, have set up similar inter
faith programs locally, the most
active in Akron, Ohio.; Portland,
Ore.; Greenwich, Conn, and Lin
coin, Neb.
To give over-all direction to the
effort, a National Church Safety
Committee of about 100 members,
representing all major religious
groups, now is forming under
chairmanship of Louis B. Seltzer,
editor of the Cleveland Press.
Roman Catholic, Jewish and
Protestant leaders have cited self-
fishness, power urges, impatience,
lack of consideration for others-
all in defiance of religious princi

'You have heard repeatedly
Mr. Khrushchev's threat of 'war'

his boast that the Soviets will win
this war because of the superior

"I have said before and I say
again it would be reckless to

'"The strategy of Communist im

United States is isolated and sub

he said.
As passed by the House, the

By GLADYS PARKER
"The Investigator," judging from
the show I saw, is as bad a piece
of amateur dramatics as I have
seen since the last time I got drag
ged to a junior high school play.
Its two leading characters, whom
I shall not name, apparently have
been cast in the cracked mold of
Ellery Queen and his father. But
the father is a retired newspaper
man, steeped in the lore of the
underworld. The son is a private
detective. Any and all resemblance
to the Queens ends right there,
and abruptly.
The actors In this particular ep
isode gave the Impression they
had learned their lines through the
malls and had come into the itudio
on the morning of the show for a
single rehearsal. The writing is
best not mentioned at all. If there
was any direction, It was not ap
parent. There were some well designed
sets. I will say that. But It's not
very much to say.
Reviews and comment aa the
first of "The Iavestigator" shows
were aot good. I taw for myself
that the second show waa aot only
not good but unbelievably bad.
