In The Day's News my s rews side hed The anticipated total of high way deaths over the Labor Day week end appears to have dropped below the estimate of the National Safety Council, which was 480. As this is. writ ten, the figure stands at 435, and it seems improbable that it will reach the predicted 480. These predictions are based on what the statisticians call "pro jection of a curve." In making them, past accident totals, in creased numbers of cars on the highways, the weather, etc., are all taken into consideration in arriving at the predicted figure. What it really amounts to is an informed guess. Its purpose is to make people more conscious of the hazards of crowded highways. TITAYBE people are driving a little MORE CAREFULLY. Therein lies the answer to the hazards of the highways. TOW for the hazard of war N which is inherent in the Suez canal situation. The West has made a proposal. The proceedings of the sessions at which this proposal was draft ed have been secret, as they should be, in a matter of such importance, but the proposal it self is believed to include inter national operation and control of the strategic waterway with recognition of Egyptian SOVER EIGNTY over the canal, which runs through Egyptian territory. Nasser has received the West's proposal and is considering it. IHE New York stock market moved higher in early trad ing and then turned mixed, with prices moving up and down in a narrow range. The dispatches explain that "the cordial atmosphere of the Cairo talks on the Suez gave the market confidence." ASSUMING that Nasser's an swer is NO, what should WE do about it? My personal opinion is that we SHOULDN'T GO TO WAR OVER THE SUEZ ISSUE. This Court Records DISTRICT COL'RT Elizabeth Harirlon McGalltard. fail ure to signal. $10.

We're relying to an increasing extent on Middle East oil, and if this oil has to be hauled clear around the Cape of Good Hope its cost to us will be increased. But there are other ways to meet that situation. It has been suggested, for example, that VASTLY LARGER -TANKERS can be built in a relatively short space of time and their greater capacity will offset the cost of the longer haul. Building bigger tankers is far better for us than going to war to keep the Suez canal open. The trouble with war is that once the shooting starts nobody knows when it will end. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press fulun writer ll'HETHER wisely or unwisely. " we are long-time allies of the British and the French, and their economies are much more directly affected by the possible closure of the Suez than is ours. Within the limits of reason and common sense, we should do all we can to help our Allies. But GOING TO WAR to keep the Suez open doesn't fall within these limits. Going to war is a decision of such frightful gravity that it must be taken onlv in cases where the WHOLE FUTURE of the nation concerned is clearly at stake. Atlantic City, N. J. (U.R!

Mrs. Marge Kissinger, a reg istered nurse at the Philadel phia General hospital, has been around looking out for falsies under the bathing suits and so forth for 15 pageants. Mrs. Kis singer, a bashful, lovely lady, said she hated to mention it, but she has. across the many years, since Rosemary La Planche, of California won in 1941. not found many violations. "Some of them try to cheat a little.' she confessed, "but we don't have much trouble. . We just tell them that a show of a carter belt could disqualify them and they go back and dress down." Margo Luccy, Miss District of Columbia, probably was the car rier of the lightest bundle of lug gage. She had only four bags. Her complete outfit consisted of a three-in-one set.
