Few Notice Appalling Death
Toll of Highway Accidents,
Snell Says in State Report
Salem (Spl On Sept. 8, 1934. the luxury liner Moro Castle
caught fire and burned off the New Jersey coast. The holo
caust claimed 131 lives and throughout the civilized world the
disaster was viewed with dismay.
During the first six mont I
hi of 1940 in Oregon, traffic
accidents claimed 160 human
lives and comparatively few
persons took any notice of the
loss, said Earl Snell, secretary
of state, In summarizing the ac
cident situation in the state for
the first half of 1940.
As automobiles plunged,
crashed and hurtled the 160
persons to their deaths, they in
jured approximately 2,500 and
caused thousands of dollars
worth of property damage.
There were several accidents in
which two persons were killed,
a few in which three met death
and in some, as many as 12
persons were injured. Fatal ac
cidents during the first six
months of the year varied from
a car turning over at a speed
of less than 25 miles an hour
to an auto which rolled and
skidded for 600 feet and then
hurtled the driver another 50
feet when it went out of con
trol while speeding 100 miles
an hour.
Cart Pile Up
The relatively mild incident
of a car sideswiping another
and sending it into a ditch
started a chain of events which
led to one death, the injury of
several and eventually involved
five cars in one of the most
spectacular accidents during
the first half of the year, the
secretary of state's report dis
closed. After the car was forced into
the dit.-h a second car stopped,
hooked a rope to the first car
and started towing it out. An
other car came along and its
driver, seeing what was happen
ing, slowed down, but still an
other car behind did not slow
down and crashed into the rear
of the one that had. This car
then smashed into the one be
ing towed out of the ditch,
crushing a man who was push
ing the stalled machine. In the
confusion, the crushed man was
not noticed because he fell in
the water in the ditch and while
the two or three o'hers who had
been hurt were rushed to the
hospital, he remained in the
water. He was found later by
an officer who was sent to in
vestigate the crash.
Before the cars could be re
moved from the scene, one driv
er drove through without stop
ping and clicked fenders with
two other machines. Still an
other driver, who came upon
the scene too fast, turned turtle
when he applied his brakes and
added two more to the list of
Injured.
Blowouts Fatal.
Tire blowouts brought trag
edy to several Oregon residents
during the first half of the year.
In one case, a front tire blew
out and threw the car into the
path of an oncoming vehicle
and in the ensuing crash, two
passengers in the first car were
killed. Another tire blowout
caused a fast moving vehicle to
start swaying from side to side
till it crashed into the front of
an oncoming bus. The force
of the collision broke the motor
hurled it ten feet away from
the wreckage. The driver was
thrown to the pavement and
killed.
There were several accidents
which demonstrated the wild
gyrations possible when cars ko
out of control while moving at
high speed, Snell's report
showed. One car went out of
control and crashed into a sev-
en-foot bank on the left side of
the highway. When officers in
veitigated, they found parts of
the car stuck in a tree on the
top of the bank. 22 feet above
ground, indicating the machine
had leaped that high in the air
after hitting the bank. The car's
leap landed it 14 feet away from
the place it started and killed
one occupant, seriously injured
another.
Another car, whose driver
was believed to have gone to
sleep at the wheel, leaped over
a 50-foot cliff and sailed 200
feet through the air before it
crashed into a huge tree. It
bounced back several feet and
settled down on the bank of a
river, but not until it had cata
paulted its driver through a
door and into the river, from
which the body was recovered
several miles below the scene
of the cra.'h.
Curve Palter Killed.
When or.e car started to pass
another on a curve. It met a
third car coming In its direction.
It swerved to one side to avoid
a collision and turned over, roll
ing over five or six times. The
driver of the car that had been
passed told the officers he saw
the rolling car ten feet in the
air on one of Its turns. Passen
gers in the spinning machine
were spewed out along the pave
inent. forcing the following car
to take to the ditch to avoid
running over them as they lay
on the pavement. As the ca
reening car ended its wild roll,
the driver was shot out of the
machine like a projectile from
a cannon, skidding along the
gravel and pavement for a dis
tance of 53 feet. He was dead
when rescuers reached him.
When another car went out
of control at high speed and left
the road, it hurled one passen
ger 100 feet and another lau
feet away. ine lauer was
killed.
In one accident report, the
driver, of a car reported a man
passed him and invited him to
race. When he refused, the
other man proceeded at high
speed till he passed a train. In
waving to the train crew, he
lost control of his car on a
surve and crashed to his death.
Gasoline Starts Fire.
A gallon Jug of gasoline con
tributed to the death of three
persons in one Oregon accident
this year. The car was in
volved in a collision with an
other car coming from a side
road and, after the crash, the
gasoline caught fire. Two pas
sengers were killed by the force
of the collision and the third
died from burns.
Snell's survey of the fatal ac
cidents revealed that speed
carelessness in passing on
curves, fatigue, intoxication and
failure to observe right-of-way
regulations were frequent
causes of the more serious type
of accidnts during the first half
of the year.
TO CONTINUE U
SAYS KONOMST
Deadlock in European War
Will Force Compromise
Is Belief of Dr. Ebersolc
Nichols Branch
Palo Alto, Cal.. July 19. WP
'The war is over, in my opin
ion," Dr. J. Franklin Ebersole
of Harvard university, told the
Stanford business conference
today, "but we will go on arm
ing feverishly for years just the
same."
The economist implied a be
lief that a deadlock in the Eu
ropean battle would force Hit
ler and Britain to get together
and work out a compromise.
'It is the same situation as
our foreign debts," he asserted.
"They were repudiated five
years before we recognized it."
Should Think Ahead
Ebersole told some 200 busi
ness executives at the fourth
session of the week-long con
ference that the nation should
be thinking of what the world
will need when fighting is over
and begin working to that end.
Instead, he forecast the coun
try would work furiously on
armament, conscript and equip
a large fighting force, put cap
ital issues under government
control, pour government money
into plant construction, adopt
consumption controls, restrict
imports and set up price-fixing
in various forms.
E. B. MacNaughton, president
of the First National Bank of
Portland, Ore., told the group
America "must change its ideas
about our relations to the world.
We must become reconciled to
the view that we cannot remain
on the plane of living to which
our politicians have told us we
are entitled.
"We have maintained that
way of living by. hokus pokus.
managed, money, living on our
future in a dreamland that will
be shattered by the coming ex
plosion." He said America would "be
the most hated of nations be
cause we have so much and
refuse to share it."
