4 Percent of Drivers Get
In 36 Percent of Accidents
The worst killers on our highways are the accident repeaters
the relatively few drivers who get into accidents over and
over again.
In the Reader's Digest for September. Clarence Woodbury
reports that accident repeaters about four per cent of all
"drivers account lor 30 per cem
of all accidents.
These figures emerge from an
analysis of the records of thou
sands of drivers, made by Yale
university over a six-year pe
riod. The same studies disclosed
that 81 per cent never had been
involved in serious accidents,
and another 15 per cent had had
only one accident each.
Woodbury's article, condensed
from The American Legion Mag
azine, gives further results of
the Yale analysis.
The driver who has been in
one accident is twice as likely to
get into another as the driver!
who has never been involved;
the two accident driver is three
times as prone to another as the
man who has had none; and the
four-accident repeater is seven
times likely to crash as the man
with a clean record.
Other statistical studies sup
port the . Yale findings, reveal
ing a consistent pattern of high
way casualties attributable to the
small percentage or repeaters.
Last year more than 10,000
Americans were killed and about
350,000 injured by drivers who
had been in previous accidents.
Probably the best known case
on record is that of 29-year-old
Hugh. Gravlttt, Atlanta taxi
driver who ran down and killed
Margaret Mitchell, author of
"Gone With the Wind." Gravitt
had previously committed 21
other traffic offenses, most of
them serious.
Researchers discovered that re
peaters are not as emotionally
stable as drivers with clean rec
ords, that they know less about
driving regulations, prefer high
er driving speeds and are "cock
ier about their tolerance of al
cohol.
Linn Tomato Harvest
Processing to Start
Lebanon Processing of beans
is the current operation at the
Lebanon Packing plant on West
Sherman street, with a second
crew scheduled to begin this
week on tomatoes.
Bingham Powell, packing
company official, said picking
will be under way In fields with
in a week. The tomato crop will
be canned and there will be no
cold packing.
Beans, expected to last for
three more weeks depending on
the weather, will be packed
along with the new crop. Addi
tional help to handle the toma
toes is being supplied through
the Lebanon office of the Ore
gon state employment service.
A third crop being handled at
the cannery is evergreen black
berries. The berry is just now
ripening and the packing com
pany is taking all good berries
and paying 10 cents per pound
at the cannery door. This is an
lncrxse of four cents a pound
over prices paid last year.
12 G.O.P. Leaders Demand
Truman Fire Acheson, Johnson
Des Moines, la., Aug. 21 (U.R) Republican leaders from 12
midwest and Rocky mountain states demanded today that Pres
ident Truman fire Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Defense
Secretary Louis Johnson.
The GOP state chairmen have unanimously adopted resolutions
calling on Mr. Truman to re-
place Acheson and Johnson witn
men of "ability."
They also demanded replace
ment of the "ineffective mem
bers" of Johnson's staff but did
not name them.
Woodburn Defense to
Add Air Observers
Woodburn Harlow C. Dixon,
head of civilian defense for
Woodburn, appeared before the
city council at the last meeting
regarding a request he has
received for the establishment
of an aircraft ground observer
post within the city.
The program calls for the ap
pointment of a chief observer,
the recruiting and training of
30 to 40 volunteer observers and
the obtaining of a suitable site
for the observation post. The
post would be on a standby basis
until a n emergency arises.
Dixon was instructed to in
vestigate means of establishing
the post and to report back to
the council.
"Under Mr. Acheson's direc
tion, the present state depart
ment has stubbornly adhered to
policies inimical to the welfare
of the United States and actually
beneficial to the plots and
schemes of the communist ene
my," one resolution charged.
It accused the state depart
ment of "demonstrated inepti
tude," "lack of frankness with
the people," and "general bun
gling of foreign affairs."
"It has deceived the Ameri
can people into a sense of false
security," the republicans
charged.
The other resolution scored
the "disgraceful imcompetence"
of the defense department under
Johnson and accused it of "im
properly" spending arms funds.
The resolution also said that
the defense department's inacti
vation of "valuable sections" of
the armed forces "is causing the
bloodshed of embattled Ameri
cans today."
The GOP conference also
asked National Chairman Guy
Gabrielson to call a nationwide
meeting to crystallize party
thinking on "current" interna
tional problems growing out of
the Korean situation.
Outlawing Red Party Held
No Violation of U. S. Tradition
Outlawing the communist party in the United States is not
only vitally necessary to the safety of the nation in the present
crisis but would violate no principles of civil liberties or aemo
cratlc freedoms, declares Max Eastman in the September Reader's
Dicest.

Four Corners Serviceman

Four Corners Pvt. Clifford Herman, 4010 Beck avenue,
left this week for Treasure Island Base at San Francisco to
begin a four year enlistment in the U. S. Marines. He is a
veteran of World War II having served for four years in the
1st Marines, 1st tank battalion. The Hermans have resided in
Four Corners for four years,-
where his family maintains a
residence.
Eight Four Corners firemen
answered a call with the No. 1
truck on Friday evening when
a combine operated by Claude
Ashby set the stubble afire on
the Clearwater place about three
miles southeast of Four Corners.
Soma stubble was burned and
the combine badly damaged be
fore the fire was brought under

itarted from the carburetor.

Faced with a danger unpara
lleled in our history, but inhi
bited by false notions of demo
cratic tolerance, we continue to
give the sanction of legality to
a party whose confessed purpose
is the overthrow of our govern
ment, Eastman notes.
Contending that such notions
are constantly fostered by com
munist propaganda but have no
validity elsewhere, Eastman
says, "A government which fails
to suppress a conspiracy to over
throw it is not democratic but
weak."
In preserving our civil liber
ties we should distinguish be
tween the rights of free speech,
press and assembly and the
Tight" of organizing to over
throw the government," he
added.
To join or promote such an
organization is not an idea or
an opinion it is an act, and
a seditious one. An act of con
gress expressly reaffirming the
freedoms guaranteed by the
constitution, and as expressly
outlawing the communist
party, would establish this dis
tinction in all minds."
The American people "are not
deceived," Eastman states, "by
the effete notion that a free
country, 4n order to remain free.
must sanction conspiracy against
freedom. They think it is crazy
to spend billions to keep com
munism out of Greece, Turkey
and Indonesia, while not even
passing a law to keep it out of
the United States." In a recent
Gallup poll they voted three-to-one
to outlaw the communist
party.
The right of revolution pro
claimed by Jefferson, and re
iterated by Lincoln, was con
ceived to be the right of the peo
ple to overthrow a tyranny, not
the right of open advocates of
tyranny to overthrow the gov
ernment of the people.
An objection to outlawing
communism is raised by some
who fear that bigoted standpat
ters will abuse the law to silence
all agitation and stop all change.
"They certainly will if they
cant" Eastman concedes. But he
adds that "it is the failure of
concise legal definition and pro
scription of this new crime of
totalitarian conspiracy, which
gives the reactionaries a free
hand and drives people into the
mood of the witch-hunt.
