You're go-! ing to hear more and more about putting seat belts in automobiles for safety "s sake, just as there are seat belts in airliners for the same reason and which everyone uses Without question. Cornell university has started a campaign to bring them into general use in cars, under the slogan: "For safer motoring, fasten seat belts." The idea is that they should be in every car and should be fastened around all passengers any time the car is in motion. Through its aeronautical lab oratory, the university devel oped scientific proof that a very high percentage of the people killed or injured in automobile accidents, probably wouldn't have been even hurt if they had been buckled into their cars with belts. The contention of the Cornell experts and other safety engi neers is that motorists and their passengers will think no more of fastening a seat belt around themselves than airplane passen gers do once they have them in their cars and once they get ac customed to having them there. Anchored to Chassis And once this happens, auto mobile manufacturers will be less skittish on the whole sub ject of safety devices as of now, no manufacturer wants to even suggest that his car might not be safe no matter under what conditions. And once all these things come about when cars are equipped with safety belts in the factories the automobile accident death and injury rate will drop sharply, the safety sci entists contend. Cornell Aeronautical Labora tory has just published a book let for popular consumption, "Automobile Seat Belts A Way of Living." It contains the A-B- broidery, iron-ons, toys and nov elties!

You'll want to order every design in it' , C"s. which are useful because some seat belts are already on the market which cannot do what a seat belt should do. j For example, they are at tached to the seats themselves and if there is a sudden "decel eration" caused by a head-on collision, say the seat and the passengers attached to it are thrown forward together, and the latter are smashed against steering wheel and instrument panel. The proper safety belt is an chored to the chassis of the car.. It "restrains" only one person not two or three passengers on one seat. It is snug enough to al low no more than four inches of forward hip .movement, its closed loop strength is at least 3,000 pounds, its static tensile strength is no less than 1,500 pounds. Legislation Planned The restraint should be "ap plied to the wearer's pelvic re gion in a direction rearward and downward in a line approximate ly 45 degrees from the horizontal and parallel to the side of the car." The buckles should be foolproof and simple to operate" the airplane belt buckle is recommended. An example of what the labor atory learned in experiment with crashing cars containing dum mies with instruments attached to show what happened, is this: In very minor accidents, the deceleration rate can be more than two or three "G's." A "G" is a measurement of gravita tional force. One "G" of decel eration would require a force equalling the weight of the car passenger to hold him - in his seat.- Thus, a head-on collision in volving only three "G's" would require a force three times a passenger's weight to prevent him from being smashed inside the car. Hence, both the em phasis on safety belts and on strong,' well .anchored.' safety belts. .

Jackson (D-Wash.) today called for a congressional review of this country's proposed Earth satellite program including plans to share its scientific data with Russia. Jackson, a member of the Sen ate Armed Services Committee, said he personally opposes "any exchange of information in this program" because "the first con sideration, will be the military application." He spoke out after Director Alan T. Waterman of the Na tional Science Foundation .had predicted members of Congress would back administration plans to share satellite secrets after they know "the facts." Water man said Russia and the rest of the world would be given only scientific data with little or no direct military value. Southern "Pacific Track Job Nearly Completed Portland (U.P.) Southern Pa cific Railroad announced today that its $1,000,000 track realign ment project at- Park Place is nearly completed. The project includes a 550 foot steel bridge across the Clackamas river and a mile of new track. SP said the new track eliminates curves between Port land and Oregon City and will speed up travel of passenger trains over the route. compulsory in all cars. A similar bill is going to be introduced in the New York legislature. - Most of Nation In Frying Pan By UNITED PRESS Most of the country is baking again in a heat wave . and wondering what it's good for. Midwestern farmers usually say hot weather is good corn growing weather. But this time it's too hot even for the tall corn of Iowa. Officials estimate that 15 per cent of the state's corn crop has been scorched. A solid week of 100-plus temperatures has led to 24 deaths in Iowa. All told, more than 50 persons have died from the heat in the Midwest. New England is hoping for some relief. But the rest of the country from the plains to the Atlantic can expect just more of the same high temperatures. AH weather forecasters can say is that it must come to an end sometime. But they aren't risk ing any predictions about a White Christmas. The south had a tropical storm to battle instead of the heat wave. The storm blew into East ern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama yesterday, with winds of more than 60 miles an hour. At least seven persons died, and three men are reported missing on a boat overdue at Pensacola, Fla. COLLEGE GIFTS Chicago (U.R) Alumni gave American colleges and uni versities 20,833,000 last year, according to Chancellor Law rence A. Kimpton of the Uni versity of Chicago. Tuesday, August 2, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB Uranium Bugs Get 'DonT as Advice From Professor, Albuquerque, N. M. (U.R) The' final, word of advice given to novice uranium- hunters' by the professor of the world's first uranium-prospecting course was "Don't." " John Brady, a University of New Mexico graduate geologist and uranium researcher, told his students that they would be better off to sink any money they had into a savings account rather than a Geiger counter. - But for those who still have the fever, he listed the following basic rules: ' 1. Get some information about uranium prospecting first. 2. Hunt on your leisure time. Hornbrook Hornbrook Vacation church school will be held at. the Meth odist Community church begin ning "Aug; 4 and continue for two weeks. The clases will be conducted by Marvin Smith and Bob Stevens of the Student Mis sionary Council. ' Mrs. Arden Burns returned from San Francisco last week where she attended the . cere mony at the First Christian church in Oakland, July 22, where her daughter Jo Ann re ceived her cap. from Samuel Merritt hospital school of nurs ing. '..". Joan Kutsky is improving from' an emergency operation at Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Ore. Anyone wishing to send cards .may send them to her at Room 518. (Some uranium bugs have, been known to cast caution aside, quit their jobs and leave home ex pecting to strike it rich.) 3. Stay close to a town if you're not an experienced out doorsman. 4. Check up on your state mining laws and be sure you know the procedure to protect your mining claim. The University of New Mexico started the class after being swamped with calls from pros pectors seeking detailed mining information. Among the students were doctors, lawyers, engineers, plumbers, press operators and housewives from all over the state. One man even commuted from Ardmore, Okla., by air to attend the twice-a-week classes. One of the things stressed in Brazil Coffee Lands Hit by Hard Freeze Rio de JanerkT (U.R) In South America, it's cold weather that's causing havoc . . . cold weather which may eventually have repercussions .in the north. Frost has struck in the coffee land of Brazil. Reports said cur rent frost damage is worse than the 1953 frost attack which kill ed or damaged 4,000,000 coffee trees, arid sent coffee prices soaring. ' Brazil's agriculture minister is making a check on the reports of damage. the class was not to purchase any uranium stock before thorough investigation. Hundreds of com panies have sprung up in the western states having uranium deposits and many are bperated by speculators who sell stocks at a penny a share. Brady said his teachings served to discourage some of his stu dents while others went off more determined than ever to make a rich haul. Gulf Coast Storm Dying in intensity , New Orleans, La. (U.R) The tropical storm dubbed "Brenda" is losing its punch as it moves inland through New Orleans. Brenda struck the gulf coast near the Louisiana-Mississippi border wittewinds up to 75 miles an hour . . . near hurri cane 'force. It spread squalls over 200 miles ofhe gulf coast. At least seven persons are dead or missing as a result of the tropical blow. The storm lost much of its force as it moved inland last night and the weather bureau said today it will gradually weaken as it swings overland.
