The toll from all types or acciaenia iav f was 86,000 killed, 10,300,000 injured and financial loss of V Although 1945 saw an end to death on the battlefield, there was a postwar upsurge of accidental deaths on the homefront. The 1945 accident toll was only one per cent above 1944. But, the council said, the percentage Increase was small only be cause of a reduction In accidents to military personnel. ON PROLONGED A.t.iiiv " th rrnnrt raid, celebrated V-J day by going on a prolonged traffic spree that hasn't ended yet." As evidence of this, the council pointed out that in the seven final months of war in 1945 traffic deaths rose only 1.3 per cent over the same period of 1944 but from V-J day until the end of the year they jumped 36 per cent. Vehicle mileage In IBM was esumaiea at 10 per ccjh duv 1944, but 25 per cent below pre-war 1941. , In December. 1945. traffic deaths totaled 3,480 an Increase of 27 per cent over the same month . . . Traffic accidents last year caused approximately i,," non-fatal Injuries, of which 80,000 left victims permanently Im paired, the council said. , The 1945 toll still was 11,800 under the all-time high of 39,969 set In 1941. Turbulent UNO Council Meeting Tests Organization's Workability Br Louis F. Kaamle United Press Staff Correspondent The turbulent ODenlng sessions of the UNO security council make one thing plain the new will be made or broken by the ability of the big powers lo worn, together. The council fortunately got down to this Issue at the start, Instead of evading it. as had been expected. The Iran dispute be tween Russia and Great Britain was started on the way to solution without hard feelings. Then the Greek question arose and it has become apparent where the real trouble lies. EARLY TEST GOOD THING FOR ORGANIZATION As long as any one of the great powers can block concerted action In a matter affecting Its interests, the other 46 nations will have no confidence in the UNO as an impartial tribunal and guar dian of their rights. A division Into blocs would be Inevitable. It certainly Is well to test this the UNO degenerate Into a mere debating society like the lamented League of Nations. When the present Greek crisis has been passed, and succeeding problems such as Indonesia overcome, the way may have been paved for putting the UNO most particularly the se curity council on a workable basis. Until then, neither big powers the framework, and the cynics and In Justice to Russia, Britain, Big Five, It may be said that they surrendering too much of their sovereign right to say "no" to all opponents until the UNO ship has and proved seaworthy. These early tests should be no cause for despair. PATH TO MAJORITY WILL IS SUCCESS DOOR Once the big nations find It possible to bow to the will of the majority as originally conceived escape clause of the veto power was injected, the world organiza tion will be on the way to success, The International police force provided In the charter, for Instance, wilt have no weight If It can be disregarded at will by any one of the few big powers which alone are capable of success ful aggression. A little aggressor could and An attach- sucn as tne one By possible. But If a power-like Russls or the United States should move in on another state, and denied that it was aggression, who would be capable of defining it as aggression and applying the punitive power of the UNO armed forces? Under the charter, only the security council can determine the existence "of any threat to the peace, breach of the neace or act of aggression," Only the council can order non-military penal ties sucn as ooycoii ana DiocKaac action ty land, sea and air against On The Side By e. v. Duriing (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Women are the batfaie af life! They are troublesome. And hinder us In the treat march, And yet we cannot be without them. Suckling (Considering a matrimonial mate "troublesome baggage" Is not, by any means, confined to the male sex. In fact, many ca reer women have this Idea. Fur thermore, an ambitious female will cast a mate aside much fast er than a male. Remember the play "Excess Baggage?" In this play the "excess baggage" was a husband whose actress wife considered him a hindrance to her advancement in a career.) Some married couples claim never a cross word passes be tween them. Sounds like a dull life. I agree with Mr. Tennyson who said: "Blessings on the falling out That all the more endears When we make up with those we love ' And kiss again with tears. Anyway, I have sent out ten cents In stamps toward getting a pamphlet "Building Your Mar riage" by Evelyn Millls Duval, weilknown family relations ex pert What Interests me Is Eve lyn's pamphlet Is said to include a chapter on "How man and wife can quarrel constructively." I consider that a very good trick if It can be done. Patting By Private Leatrlce Joy Gilbert of the Wacs. Her papa was John Cllbert; her mother, Leatrlce Joy, both top flight stars of sil ent films.

Why Thar Marrr or what do women marrv?" That is a question Dr. Noel Keys. married life expert, has asked Innumerable young women. In variably "for love" Is third on thj list and the following order continually prevails In the an swers: 1 for companionship, 2 to have a home, 3 for love, to have children. Nylons Every month since last Sep tember 2,500,000 dozen pair of nylon stocking have been pro duced in the United States. As to what becomes of all these nylons I could not say. My girl friend hasn't been able to get her hands on any. Understand some nylons are exported to Mexico where, without price con trol, they are sold for $13 a pair. An expert on hosiery tells me the situation In his activity will be eased somewhat In March. So cheer up, lady. Maybe you will be able to get nylons In time for the Easter Parade. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Is It true Frank James of the James boys became a racetrack starter after giving up his activities as an outlaw? A. Believe Frank was a starter at tracks In St. Louis. He also raced a stable of horses. Q. Who is now consider ed Hollywood's best dressed man? A. Couldn't say definitely. All I know is Frank Crownln shleld recently stated he consid- e ' Gary Cooper a better dress ed man than Adolphe Menjoa He said Garv dressed with "an engaging note of nonchalance" while Menjou's attire was "too studied and stylized." Sounds Ilka very discerning criticism to me. Atldet Orson Kllborn, So u t h p 0 r t. Conn., claims he has driven au tomobiles 40 years without an accident or receiving a traffic ticket Orson figures he has driven over 800,000 miles.. . . An army sergeant writing from the Philippines says Jess Gortes, Manila boxing manager, will shortly 'urlng to the USA three outstanding Filipino rlngmen named Star Gisamis, Kid Bas cones and Speed Cabanelo. The sergeant says Gisamis Is a better man than "Ceferlno Garcia was In his heydey. He must be good. Wears Glasses Joy Marie Fisher, who wears glasses, has won three beauty contests, been an Earl Carrol girl and worked in three films. She says Dorothy Parker was wrong about girls who wear glasses and that the person who said the bespectacled lasses are much more affectionate than the other girls was right. In addition to wearing glasses Miss Fisher is unusually tall, being five feet nine Inches in her stocking feet. Being tall hasn't handicapped her career either. She asks: "Why is it most of the men with engaging personalities are under six feet and so many of those over six feet are such bores and dullards?- (Note) our Mules 4e Men department is investigating this observation). LAST SURVIVORS OF YUKON WRECK TAKEN OFF HULK Seward, Alaska, Feb. 6 (U.R) Crewmen of the wrecked 5,746 ton liner Yukon, piled up on the rocks of Johnstone's bay 48 miles east of here, recovered three bodies today while rescue crews removed the last survivors from the vessel's hulk, an eye witness said. While rescue ships and shore parties completed rescue of 485 passengers and crewmen and land-sea search continued for seven persons still unaccounted for since the wreck Monday, the liner's chief mate Ray A. Wheel er told of recovery of three bodies from the oil blackened water around the Yukon, pas senger, W. C. Erwln said. "Wheeler told me he had or dered one of the bodies taken into his cabin on the Yukon, and that he had seen two others re covered," Erwln, manager of the Standard Oil Company's Seward office said. (There was no Immediate con firmation from officials direct ing the rescue. Photographers and reporters said they had been barred from interviewing sur vivors returned to Seward docks.) SISKIYOU TRAVEL VERY DANGEROUS State police this morning said travel over the Siskiyou high way to California Is extremely dangerous and that chains are absolutely necessary. California highway patrol advised that the slippery condition exists as far south as Dunsmuir. The highway was closed for about an hour this morning be cause of trucks, Jack-knifed on steeply-banked curves, but the matter hod been corrected enough to permit passage. Some trucks still were jack-knifed this afternoon, police said. Only persons with the most urgent business were advised to attempt to negotiate the moun tain. 96th Division Made Inactive In South Camp Anza, Calif., Feb. 6 The 96th Infantry Division, which trained at Camp White from the fall of 1943 until April of 1944, passed Into history at Camp Anza this week.
