Chicaso, June 29 OI.R) Tlie
American Automobile associa
tion reports that for $32, the
price of i smashed grill, any
normal person can be taught to
drive safely.
The period of instruction takes
eight hours, the AAA said, less
time than three double-feature
movies.
In the school year just ended,
607.603 high school students
were given driving instruction as
part of the regular curriculum.
The National Education asso
ciation's commission on safety
education said the $32's were
well spent.
The group reported "limited
figures" show that "students
having training are involved in
olny half as many accidents as
comparable groups" who did not.
These students, according to
the president's safety conference,
Government Sets
Plans To Revive
Rations, Controls
Washington, June 29. (U.R)
The government is making plans
for reviving rationing and for
controlling prices, wages and
jobs if the Korean action draws
the United States Into a real
war. "But
Official? are keeping their
blueprints on ice on the assump
tion that they will not be
needed.
The plans have been drawn
up by the) National Security Re
sources board, which has the job
or coordinating all military, in
dustrial and civilian war plans
and of recommending specific
actions to President Truman.
Instruction Awaited
"We are alert and waiting for
instructions from the White
House," a spokesman said.
The instructions would be to
lay its plans on the President's
desk. This is not expected unless
Mr. Truman first asks congress
for emergency war powers to
put the recommendations into
effect. He has no plans to do
that now.
The recommendations would
cover wage, price, job and pro
duction controls, production
schedules, rationing and civil de
fense.
Northern California
Population Increases
Redding, Cal., June 29 (U.R)
A seven-county district in north
eastern California gained about
20,000 residents between 1940
and 1950 for an 18 per cent in
crease, preliminary census fig
ures showed today.
The counties involved were
Lassen, Modoc. Plumas, Shasta,
Siskiyou, Trinity and Tehama.
Their combined 1950 population
was 130,160, compared with
110,426 in 1940. All of the coun
ties showed increases.
Susanvllle showed the largest
increase of any city in the area,
from 1.S75 in 1940 to 5,320 in
1950. District Census Supervisor
A. P. Robillard said that the es
tablishment of the Herlong Am
munition depot near the city ac
counted for most of the increase.
Dunsmuir was the only city
showing a decrease, from 2,359
in 1940 to 2,232 in 1950. Robil
lard said he believed the drop
resulted from curtailed railroad
division activity there as trucks
took over a larger share of
freight.

represent the "greatest hope for
a solution of the mounting traf
fic problem," which has killed
942.000 persons in the United
States.
Safety experts said that no
matter how many improvements
are accomplished in traffic laws
and engineering, there still will
be heavy fatalities unless the
driver is improved, too.
Emphasis on Youth
The AAA and other organi
zations are trying to do Just that
with the teen-aged, who has been
the target of traffic criticism
since the post flapper era.
Most of the 607,603 recently
trained had classroom instruc
tion only but many of them
learned how to drive in dual
controlled cars supplied by au
tomobile companies and dealers.
Their teachers went through
special driver-instructor courses
and taught from a manual of
time-proved techniques.
Even the students thought tht
courses were a good Idea.
Two 17-year-olds, James Ar
nold and Tom Waller, of Wil
mette, 111., said the courses
should be required of every stu
dent. A greater awareness of the
difficulty of keeping out of ac
cidents is sending adults to
driving classes, too.
See Cut in Rate
A spokesman for a chain of 416
private driving schools said the
accident rate could be cut by
two-thirds with proper driving
instruction.
His schools will turn out 250,
000 "finished" drivers this year,
he said, and he estimated there
will be more every year. Their
lessons cost S4 per hour.
"Nobody can teach like a pro
fessional," he said. "A beginner
pays more attention to us than
he would his father or brother
or close friend.
"I think anyone learning to
drive should be taught just as
systematically as if he were
learning to fly an airplane. And
it wouldn't be a bad idea if some
of the people who have been
driving for 20 years would come
in for some instruction, too."
The NEA's commission claims
that the courses of 40.000.000 of
them would be paid for by the
money lost through automobile
accidents in a single year.
