Death Toll of
Holiday 396
(Br Tfo Auocltted PrmY
At least 396 persons have
died in accident in the 78-hour
Labor Day week-end as the
holiday period moved into its
final 12 hours.
Traffic mishaps claimed 287
lives. Forty-one persons were
drowned and 68 died of mis
cellaneous accidental causes.
The National Safety Council
had estimated before the holi
day began that 440 persons
would die in traffic mishaps
during the 78 hours between
6 p.m. Friday (local time) and
midnight, Monday. The council
forecast was slightly more
than five deaths an hour.
The averaga was maintained
the first day of tht period, then
it dropped off a little. Sunday,
with rain in the Midwest and
in some other sections of the
country, the pace quickened.
Then later it fell behind the
council estimate again.

Truman in Labor Day
Speech Raps at Ike
Detroit WV- Former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman told a
Labor Day audience "there are
plenty of signs of a return to
the old philisophy that the ob
ject of government . is to help
big business."
Truman, who frequently has
taken the position since he left
the White House that he want
ed to "be charitable toward the
new administration while it is
getting its feet on the ground,"
said he didn't think the people
voted last fall "for a change in
the social and economic princi
ples that have made us so
strong and prosperous."
"But that is the kind of
change we are getting," he said
in a prepared address at a rally
of Michigan CIO and AFL
groups in Cadillac Square.
He singled out the adminis
tration's policies on interest
stifle," the president said.
Former President Harry &.
Truman used the occasion for
a freeswingmg attack on the
republican administration.
In Detroit for tne first
speech he has made on domes
tic issues since he left tne
White House, the democratic
former chief executive said
there are "plenty of signs of
a return to the old philosophy
that the object of government
is to help big business." He
said the people did not vote
for, but are getting, "a change
in the social and economic
principles that have made ui
so strong nad prosperous."
Truman said labor has the
task of holding its gains
"against a spirit of reaction

Drownings Due
To Hurricane
' Boston W) Four drownings
and numerous boating accidents
were in New England attribut
ed to Hurrican Carol as the
season's third big blow skirted
50 miles east of resort island
Nantucket Monday and headed
out to sea toward the Bay of
Fundy. d
The hurricane that chruned
the coasts of New Jersey and
Long Island with heavy seas is
expected to bring little more
than fresh gusty winds Monday
to most of New England.
Dense fog and heavy seas at
tributed to the season's third
hurricane approach caused
numerous boayng accidents in
New England waters. Four per
sons drowned and 40 or more
were rescued by Coast Guard
as small craft swamped or cap
sized. A 78-foot fishing vessel
was wrecked when it ran
aground in fog off Gloucester
Harbor.
Tito Proposes
Plan (or Trieste
Okragljica, Yugoslavia W)
The world studied a new pro
posal from Yugoslavia's Pres
ident Tito today for the dis
posal of Trieste. He wants
the big Adriatic port placed
under international control,
with Yugoslavia to get the rest
of the disputed territory.
Tito made his proposals
yesterday in a speech to a
cheering crowd of more than
250,000 Yugoslavs packing
this hamlet five miles from
the Italian border. '
Tito said the controversy
with Italy over Trieste had
reached a stalemate, but that
he was still willing to settle
the issue through direct nego
tiations with his neighbor.
Previously the Yugoslav
leader had advocated Italy
and Yugoslavia administer
the Tireste territory jointly,
with details to be worked out
between the two governments.
Tito accused the Italians of
having "imperialistic designs"
on Yugoslavia but scoffed at
recent Italian charges that Yu-
goslakia plans to annex the
southern zone of the territory,
which Yugoslav troops have
occupied since World War II.
