Human Error To Remain
Among Leading Factors
In Automobile Accidents
Chicago-The car of tomor
row will be super-safe, auto
experts predict.
Accidents will be designed
out, they say.
Everyone agrees, though,
that one accident factor will
never be done away with, hu
man error. It will be as great
a problem in the year 2000 or
3000 as it is now.
"Despite every automotive
advancement, people- not
speed or unsafe conditions
still will be the major cause
of accidents," the National
Safety Council believes.
Why?
"You can equip a car with
all the latest life-saving devices-seat
belts, padded dash
boards and steering wheels
that give when pressure is
put on them-but you can't
design out human errors and
unsafe acts.
"The new safety gadgets
ara marvelous-and they un
doubtedly help protect motor
ists. But without good, cau
tious driving, the traffic ac
cident toll will remain high."
. The toll in 1957, prelimin
ary reports show, was 38,500.
Injuries numbered about 1,
350,000. The cost of the acci
dents was more than $5 bil
lion. Consider these facts:
1. In 1956, 6 out of 10 mo
torists in an accident were
charged with a law violation

of alcohol, speeding, not hav

too closely, improper passing,
driving on the wrong side of
the road, and running stop
streets. And that doesn't in
clude motorists who escaped
detection.
2. Only 8 out of every 100
accidents involved a report
edly unsafe car. Most motor
vehicle accidents-about 8 out
of 10-occurred on clear or
cloudy days.
3. About 1,850 of the 40,
000 motorists killed in ac
cidents in 1956 had fallen
asleep at the wheel.
"People hold the key to the
traffic accident problem," the
Council says.

could build dams with rev

Sponsored by all Northwest
senators from Oregon, Wash

except for Sen. Henry Dwor-

of the idea in Congress, plans
to conduct further hearings
on the proposal in Portland
and Missoula after the fall
elections.
Neuberger has hopes of
gathering enough information
to write a new bill that will
be more acceptable to a wide
number of groups in the
Northwest, some of whom
are now divided over the
original bill.
Another proposal left un

Pilots, Airline
Resume Talks
Negotiations between the
Air Lines Pilots association
rAFT-Cim and West Coast
Airlines resumed in Seattle,
Wash.. Wednesday through
the efforts of the national
mediation board.
Former mediation and ne
gotiation efforts between the
two factions ended in a dead
lock Aug. 1, and the pilots
have the right to strike under
the Railway Labor act after a
30-day "cooling off" period
which expired Aug. 18.
Negotiations between the
pilots and the company were
started in November, 1957,
and in December the pilots
approved a strike proposition
by ballot.
Issues involved include
wages, hours and working con
ditions, a pension plan, ana
agreement concerning flying
the new F-27 Falrchild turbo
prop airliner. A spokesman for
the pilots said that in some
cases West Coast pilots re
ceive $165 or more less com
pensation per month than
other pilots of other air car
riers flying the same equip
ment.' v
West Coast airlines, which
has headquarters in Seattle,
employs 88 pilots and operates
in Oregon, Washington, ana
Idaho. ,

from all federal dams in the
Northwest would be used to
help pay for further irriga
tion development in the re
gion, regardless of the loca
tion of the reclamation proj
ects. Reclamation groups in
the Northwest have promoted
this, but no legislative prog
ress was made this year.
Field Hearings Due
Another issue on which
field hearings will be held in
Oregon this fall is on the
Wilderness Preservation bill,
which would give permanent
status, to existing federal
wilderness areas and further
the creation of more such
areas in the national forests.
Neuberger will head a Senate
Interior Subcommittee that
will hold hearings on this one
at Bend Nov. 7 and San
Francisco Nov. 10.
Other Northwest issues that
await the return of the next
Congress include:
-Rogue River multiple-development
project field
studies have not yet been
completed by various federal
agencies on the affects of a
series of dams in the Rogue
basin that would be designed
to develop its full potential
for power, flood control and
irrigation, along with recrea
tion and navigation. Rep.
Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) in
troduced a bill for this under
taking. -Educational TV-the Senate
passed but' the House failed
to take up the bill of Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson CD
Wash.) to offer $1 million to
each state for purchase of
equipment for ' educational
television facilities. It aroused
much support from education
al groups, but after clearing
the Senate without difficulty
it reportedly ran into fears
among some congressmen that
thciaid money might have to
be denied southern institu
tions that practiced segrega
tion. Plan Stays Alive
-Domestic parity for wheal
-this plan of Northwest wheat
growers continues to stay
alive in the hopes of some
lawmakers. It was part of an
omnibus farm bill which the
House killed .this session, but
wheat growers didn't press
for its inclusion in the com
promise farm bill finally ap
proved. -Tolls on new Columbia
River bridge - if this bridge
from Vancouver to Portland
had been financed under the
new federal highway act, it
would be toll free. Congress
passed a resolution calling on
the Commerce Department to
submit in January a plan for
reimbursing states for proj
ects such as this. The price
tag for all such projects
would run about $5 billion.
Eliminating tolls appears to
depend on Congress acting
to finance this cost in some
way
-Oregon Caves expansion-
government agencies are pre
paring reports on Congress
man Porter's bill for a five
fold increase in the size of
Oregon Caves National Mon
ument from 480 to 2910 acres.
-Fish vs. dams-Neuberger's
bill for giving the Secretary
of the Interior veto power
over licenses for dams issued
by the Federal Power Com
mission was sidetracked in
the Senate in the closing days
of the session. Congress en
acted an Interior bill requir
ing federal agencies to offer
plans for enhancing fish val
ues when dams are built.
More action of this conflict
can be expected next year.
-Mining - the House in
the final week killed the
minerals subsidy bill after it
had passed the Senate, but
another go-round on this
problem for western mining
interests is expected next
year. Pressure on the Federal
Tariff Commission will also
build up for relief for do
mestic minerals. Oregon
chrome mines will be largely
shut down unless some action
is taken, and Idaho lead and
zinc mines will be in a con
tinuing slump due to excess
supply of these ores.
-Timber mining Neuberg
er's bill for restricting use of
timber on mining patents
didn't budge this year, and
isn't likely to move as long
as mining is suffering a de
pression. It would prevent
mining patentees from gain
ing title to all the timber lo
cated on their patented land
located in national forests. It
would prevent a repetition of
the Al Sarena case, where
patents were issued in Rogue
River National Forest but
thereafter only the timber
on the patents was "mined."
Food for Needy
-Fishery extension service
-the Senate passed a bill to
create this service for fisher
men, similar to what farmers
get in latest agricultural in
formation, but the House
failed to take it up before
adjournment.
-Food stamp plan - Rep.
Edith Green (D-Ore.) was
sponsor of legislation that al
most passed the House and
probably will be revived next
year. It would have provided
distribution to needy families
of $1 billion worth of surplus
farm commodities each year
for two years. The bill got a
majority vote, 196 - 187, but
because it came up under a
special rule to bypass the
Rules Committee, it required
a two-thirds vote and didn't
get it.
-Timber receipts-the House
a few days Defore adjourn
ment passed a bill to let coun
ties decide how to spend their
national forest receipts, in
stead of being limited to
channeling the money into
schools and roads. Congress
woman Green had kept the
bill from passing earlier, but
it was whipped through by
unanimous consent in the last
week when she wasn't look
ing. Sen. Wayne Morse and
Sen. Neuberger helped block
it" in the Senate by getting
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee to take no action on it.
-Lillie Moore museum a
new bill to give this Roseburg
property to the city will prob
ably be introduced next Jan
uary by Porter. Morse blocked
this bill this year on grounds
the city should have paid half
the market price of the property.
New Propeller
Said To Increase
Speed of Ships
Washington-rtJPD- The Navy
announced Wednesday de
velopment of a drastic new
propeller which it said will
be as important to ship pro
pulsion as the jet engine has
been to airplanes.
. The revolutionary ship pro
peller, which uses certain
principles of aircraft propel
ler design, will result in ma
jor increases in the speed of
future ships, the Navy said.
The propeller was described
as "the first breakthrough of
the cavitation barrier", and
was said to be an advance un
precedented in the past 30
years of hydrodynamics de
velopment. "Cavitation" is the word
used in marine circles to de
scribe the vapor pocket which
forms behind a fast-turning
ship propeller. The faster the
propeller, turns, the larger
the vapor pocket becomes and
the more the propeller's ef
ficiency is reduced.
Marshall P. Tulin of the Of
fice of Naval Research, how
e v e r, has developed a pro
peller which uses hydrofoil
principles the way airfoils are
used on airplanes. Instead of
losing efficiency because of
the vapor pocket which forms
behind it, Tulin's propeller is
so designed that it pushes
against the vapor as other
propellers push against water
and increases the speed of the
ship.
