conference of President Ein-I said the live, of 100,000
. Americans can be saved in the
hower Committee for Traffic ,,,.
Safety mapped plans today for
"do it yourself safety programs
in their own communities.
The 700 delegates, taking their
cues from warnings that the fed
. eral government may step in if
the highway slaughter gets any
worse, met in state panels to
discuss alerting their own cities,
counties and states to action.
Foremost in their thoughts
was the problem of reducing the
nation's annual highway toll of
38,000 deaths, 1.350,000 injuries
and $4,000,000,000 economic
loss.
Great Penalty
In a message to the opening
session of the two-day confer
ence Thursday, President Eisen
hower said the nation is paying
a "great penalty" because "we
have not been willing to disci
pline ourselves to live together
on our public roads."
Howard Pyle, former gover
nor of Arizona and now deputy
assistant to the President, told
the delegates that "no domestic
problem facing us today is more
critically urgent than the prob
lem of highway safety."
He warned that if the people
themselves don't solve the prob
lem, "some demagogue will see
that the federal government gets
"The answer is an organized
citizenry, dedicated to the idea
that the automobile shall not be
known and used as a guided mis
sile for the destruction of life
and property."
"If organized citizens will sup
port methods of accident preven
tion, they can cut traffic deaths
in half within six months," Pyle
said.
"That will mean 20.000 lives
saved every year 100,000 in
the next five years."
Another warning of possible
federal intervention came from
Judge William J. McGuiness of
Oakland, Calif. He said:
"People who fight against road
blocks, against use of radar in
traffic control, against automo
bile inspections and similar en
forcement devices on grounds
that their constitutional rights
are being infringed upon have
some surprises in store for them
in the way of far greater restric- j
tions if the nation's driving rec
ord is not improved.
"Today's traffic fatality emer
gency calls for drastic measures.
I am hopeful that American mo
torists will come to their senses
and correct the situation through
their own efforts."
Virgil Pinkley, editor and pub
lisher of the Los Angeles Mirror
News, called on news media to
'humanize" cold traffic statis
tics. He said this would bring
home to the public the mounting
highway carnage.
He also warned that the na
tion is well on its way this year
to surpassing the record number
of highway deaths reached in
1954 39,969 persons.- success Los Angeles has had. In
Pinkley said the problem of 1939. he said, it had the worst

insurmountable, pointing to the safety.

Masked Men Kill
Two in Bungled
Holdup Attempt
New York (U.PJ Two mask
ed gunmen killed two men, one
of them a Polish-language news
paper editor accused of having
Communist ties, and critically
wounded a third man Thursday
night during a bungled holdup
attempt.
The shooting broke up a home
coming party for Polish-American
tourists in a tough neighbor
hood on New York's lower East
Side.
Thomas Dombrowski, 40, edi
tor of the weekly Glos Ludowy
(The People's Voice) in Detroit,
was killed instantly when he
lunged at one of the bandits
grabbing for his mask. The thug j
fired once, hitting the editor in
the chest.
Killed on Wild Shot
Frank Grodzki, 45, of New
York was mortally wounded by
one of the two wild shots fired
by the jittery second gunman.
Grodzki died undergoing surgery
to remove a bullet from his head.
Walter Nogas, 72, of Newark,
N.J., was In critical condition
at Bellevue hospital from a
stomach wound.
The panicked gunmen, who
wore handkerchiefs over their
faces and hats pulled sharply
down on their foreheads, escaped
without any money from ban
quet quarters of the Club Po-
lonia on the tough-infested low
er East Side.
Charge Investigated
Police investigated a charge
from unidentified Communist
sources in Detroit that the kill
ings had political Implications.
Dombrowski, who in 1952 re
fused to tell the House Un
American Activities Committee
whether he was ever a member
of the Communist Party, was
one of some 30 guests attending
the party in honor of 46 Polish
Americans who toured Commu
nist Poland.
The travelers had just return
ed aboard the French liner
Liberie after spending seven
weeks in Poland.
ed in scores of injuries.
The FBI already is conducting
a full-scale investigation of the
riot at the request of U. S. At
torney John O. Henderson.
Causa To Be Studied
. Mayor Steven Pankow called
today's meeting of city fathers,
police officials and civic organ
izations to discuss causes of
ton rioting between white and
Negro gangs that boiled most of
Memorial Day at Crystal Beach,
Ont., and on the aged excursion m
boat that shuttles New Yorkers
between Buffalo and the
amusement park.
The rioting started on an
early afternoon boat trip from
Buffalo to the park, 12 miles
across Lake Erie, and continued
most of the day. It reached a
climax of terror that night wiien
gangs of boys and girls ran wild
on' the three-decked boat, the ,
Canadians, terrorizing hundreds j
of fellow passengers. j
When the boat docked in Buf-;
falo late Wednesday night it
was met by police who took j
soma 30 sobbing, hysterical i
white girls to headquarters until
their parents could call for them
and calm them down.
12 Youngsters Arrested
Both white and Negro teen
agers sustained injuries in the
rioting and 12 youngsters were
arrested by Buffalo and Crystal
Beach police. Six of the injured
received treatment for minor in
juries at hospitals.
One of the problems up for
discussion today was an interna
tional agreement which left both
Canadian and New York police
helpless to do anything about
the rioting that took place dur
ing the one-hour boat trip back
to Buffalo. Since the boat plies
international waters, neither Ca
nadian nor American police can
board it.
